I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 633 Queen Mother: Are they talking about me?
When Mu Xu said this aloud, everyone looked at the Lord Jijiu with strange expressions. Although the impeachment of the Queen had happened, there were only a few troublemakers. But why are you doing this now?

most important
Impeach yourself?

Mu Xu clasped his fists and bowed, facing Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang.

A pair of eyes looked at Mu Xu in surprise.

Su Changan was also confused when he looked at Mu Xu, but after looking at Mu Xu, he suddenly understood what Mu Xu was doing, so he involuntarily looked towards where the censors were, and among those censors was Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng frowned and looked at Mu Xu's back, also with a look of surprise. He didn't quite understand what Mu Xu was doing. Could it be that he knew that he was going to impeach him, so he just impeached himself?
And impeaching the Queen as well?

absurd!

Thinking of this, Zhang Heng's brows furrowed even more, but at this moment, Zhang Heng's expression froze and he couldn't help but look towards where Su Changan was.

Su Changan looked at Zhang Heng and smiled gently.

Zhang Heng saluted hastily and lightly. Although he wanted to see the Queen again, he knew that etiquette must not be forgotten or lost, so he just lowered his head without looking at Mu Xu, just waiting for Mu Xu's next words.

Zhang Heng did not have a high academic title, but he read a lot, but it was all rote learning, so he was a bit pedantic. If the Confucian scholars in the hall were to rank each other, Zhang Heng would definitely be in the top three.

Seeing Zhang Heng like this, Su Changan looked at Mu Xu again, and he already understood what Mu Xu had done.

Xia Fengxiang naturally saw it, and after laughing, he asked loudly, "Why?"

Mu Xu pursed his lips, then looked up at His Majesty and the Queen: "I impeached myself because I was guilty. Your Majesty was seriously ill, but I repeatedly approached you to discuss cultural exchanges between Daxia and other countries. Sometimes I even approached you twice in one day, which prevented Your Majesty from resting and recuperating. This is one of my great sins."

Xia Fengxiang sat on the dragon throne, no longer with the expressionless face she used to have. Now she was much more relaxed and at ease.

In the past, people could not see His Majesty’s facial expression, which caused headaches for the ministers because they could not guess.

But now, His Majesty is no longer as expressionless as before, but he is becoming more and more unpredictable.

Xia Fengxiang looked at Mu Xu and smiled, "Isn't this what Wei Xuancheng, Zhang Heng and the others said when they impeached you a few days ago?"

Mu Xu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it was Lord Wei and Lord Zhang who impeached me. At that time, I knew I was wrong and felt guilty. Today, I saw that the Queen was ill but still came to the court. So I thought about blaming myself, so I said this."

After he finished speaking, Mu Xu immediately said, "There is just one thing that I have been unable to understand. I was lectured by Old Master Su and Lord Gao about this matter. After returning home, I thought about it carefully again and asked Xun Kuang about it. After thinking about it carefully, I am sure that I am wrong, and the Queen is also wrong."

Among the ministers standing in the hall, you can say that many of them are pedantic, upright, overly temperamental, and self-willed, but you cannot say that they are stupid.

It can be said that the only person who can stand in the hall today is Xia Yaomo, the prince of An, who is attending the court on behalf of An.
There is no one who is seriously stupid.

As an official at this position, he may do things differently due to his personality, but he is definitely not stupid.

Especially when these words were spoken, the people who were named.

Su Wenqing smiled. The most cunning person in the capital of Daxia was Mu Xu. He had already seen through what Mu Xu was thinking, so he naturally understood why he was pulled out, so he simply ignored it.

Gao Rou shook her head. If it wasn't a court meeting now, she would have raised her finger and pointed at me and cursed, asking why I was involved in your own affairs and even saying that the Empress was also at fault.

Xun Kuang curled his lips and sighed helplessly. After all, he was a student.

Mu Xu's words can pull out three people, which is equivalent to pulling three scapegoats. Whether he is right or wrong, these three people stand with him, so don't think about leaving me alone.

Everyone in the hall looked at Mu Xu.

Li Jiulang rubbed his hands. Zhao Wuxiu, Zhou Yuanrang, Li Wenyu and others looked at Mu Xu with great interest. They hadn't attended the court for a long time, but they didn't expect that the court would become so interesting now?

Su Changan didn't say anything, because he heard that Mu Xu was not only thinking about getting rid of being impeached, but also had other purposes?
Mu Xu looked at Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan and continued, "I won't say more about those ladies who work day and night for the sake of the people, and ignore their own illnesses, just thinking about Da Xia and the people of Da Xia. If I say more, it will seem like I'm flattering them. This is inappropriate."

When these words came out, Xun Kuang felt embarrassed.

Zhang Gu, Li Chunfang, Cao Shen and others almost laughed out loud. You are always reluctant to say it, but this is clearer than anyone else.

He is openly flattering someone and speaks so righteously, worthy of being the Lord Chief Priest.

Some people in the hall looked at Mu Xu with admiration.

But there were also Zhang Heng and others who looked disdainful. Some things were more meaningful to keep in mind than to speak them out, such as how the Empress was doing.

So Zhang Heng snorted lightly, showing great disdain.

Mu Xu continued, "I have reflected on my own mistakes, but I have also impeached the Empress because the late emperor and Your Majesty once said, 'The human heart is dangerous, the heart of the Tao is subtle, only by being precise and one, can one hold the middle.' Your Majesty has kept this in mind, and the Empress's mistake is that she and Your Majesty have kept this in mind, so she has been too concerned about our Great Xia and the people, and has completely ignored her own health."

Su Wenqing couldn't help but laugh.

The old fox said he would not flatter, but in one sentence, he praised the late emperor's teachings, your majesty's wisdom, and your majesty's love for the people.

As if nothing had happened, three people were implicated.

He flattered the three saints as if nothing had happened.

The most important thing is to stop at the right point and not to speak out without saying it, leaving too much blank space for people to think about on their own.

The older you get, the more sophisticated you become.

I think you, the old fox, have avoided this difficulty. Otherwise, with the girl's condition today, Zhang Heng might have caught her again.

'The human heart is dangerous, the heart of Tao is subtle, only by being precise and focused can one hold the middle ground.'

In fact, it was not said by the late emperor, but came from the words in the Book of Documents.

Everyone present, except Xia Yaomo and some military generals, understood the meaning of this sentence.

It can indeed be used as a governing philosophy for the country.

And
As for the Empress, she is truly wholeheartedly and sincerely pursuing her true intentions and good deeds, and has never wasted people's money or time for her own selfish desires.

the most important is
The Queen was injured and sick, but she still worked hard for cultural exchange. She even vomited blood several times in the past, but she still continued to do those things for the people. Now there are no hooligans and bullies in the capital. Even the Ministry of Letters has received the approval of His Majesty to implement the policy of "sweeping away gangsters and eliminating evil" in the whole of Daxia. But.
Is this wrong?
It is wrong, because the queen does not cherish her own body and does this for the people.

But it is also true, because the queen doesn't care about her own health for the sake of the people.

"Ridiculous!" Zhang Heng stood up at this time, and after saluting towards Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan, the old man looked at Mu Xu: "What the Lord Jijiu said is the same thing? No way."

Zhang Heng looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "Your Majesty, I, as an old minister, impeached Mu Xu for trying to exonerate himself in the palace. He even brought up the words of the late emperor and even accused you and the queen. This is a crime of disrespect!"

Xia Fengxiang looked at Zhang Heng without saying anything, just watching. She had a very good impression of Zhang Heng because at her father's funeral that year, Zhang Heng, an old man over 70 years old, walked up to her silently, performed a great salute, and then stood beside her, separating her from Li Nishang.

If someone had made things difficult for Zhang Heng at that time, he would have been killed, after all, for an imperial censor, this was an act of usurpation.

But this old man was standing beside her. In the strong wind, Zhang Heng stood there hunched over, looking at the ministers around him. Although he was a pedantic scholar, he was determined to die.

Mu Xu looked at Zhang Heng: "Zhang Fuzhi, don't talk nonsense, I didn't say I wanted to excuse myself, and when did I say this was a matter."

Zhang Heng immediately said, "If you hadn't gone to look for the queen several times, would the queen be too worried about state affairs to rest and recuperate?"

Mu Xu asked back, "You mean, if I don't go to see the queen, the queen won't worry about Daxia and the people of Daxia? Zhang Fuzhi, you are wrong."

Zhang Heng heard it and immediately reacted, so he frowned and said, "Mu Xu! Stop talking nonsense! When did I say that the queen doesn't worry about the people? Don't play word games with me here. It is precisely because the queen is too worried that I, Lord Wei and others jointly wrote a letter to ask Your Majesty to let the queen recover from her illness."

Mu Xu said immediately, "That's what you did wrong. I didn't say anything wrong, and you can all testify, including His Majesty and the Queen. I just kept saying that I was guilty, so I impeached myself, but I also impeached the Queen, didn't I? You see the Queen is like this today, but she still insisted on coming to the court. I feel ashamed. That's why I stood up and apologized to His Majesty and the Queen. You are saying that I am exonerating myself. Tell me, who is talking nonsense?"

Zhang Heng frowned, hesitated to speak, and looked at Mu Xu again.

When it comes to quarreling, no one in the court can win an argument against Mu Xu except Yan Yunxiao, so many people are too lazy to say anything more to Mu Xu.

Not only can I not win, but I will also get angry.

Even if I feel like I have won, I will still be angry if I think about it again and again.

It's really not worth it.

As for why Yan Yunxiao was able to win, it was because Yan Yunxiao never said much and just took action directly.

Su Changan looked at Zhang Heng who was extremely angry and wanted to speak up. Because of the illness, the misunderstanding had to be resolved today.

Otherwise it will never end.

Su Wenqing shook his head and stood up, bowing to Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang, "Your Majesty, I request that you punish Mu Xu and fine him three months' salary."

Hearing this, Mu Xu immediately looked at Su Wenqing. The old man is crazy! ?
Xun Kuang also looked at Li Lingyun and said, "What should I do if my teacher's salary is fined?"
Wei Xuancheng also stood up at this time: "I second the motion."

Imperial Censor Li Lingyun also stood up and said, "I second the proposal."

All of a sudden, seven or eight people stood up, including the military generals, Duke Qi, Zhao Wuxiu and others.

Mu Xu pursed his lips and looked at His Majesty and the Queen: "Your Majesty, I think..."

Su Wenqing interrupted Mu Xu: "If there is a crime, then there must be punishment. Since the Lord Jijiu just said that he is guilty, then he should be punished. There is nothing more to say."

Mu Xu narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Wenqing. "Okay, okay, old man, I don't believe you didn't guess what I was going to do, but you still did this, right?"
With this in mind, Mu Xu bowed to Su Changan and the others, and then said, "Of course I admit my guilt, but according to Grand Tutor's opinion, will Your Majesty be punished by you as well? Of course I admit my guilt, but I don't agree with what you said!"

Old thing, if you hadn't jumped out, the Queen would have spoken just now. Based on the Queen's personality, this matter would have definitely been brushed aside. I'm fine, and everyone else is fine too, but you're showing off here!
Besides, you don’t know how the Empress is doing. I only dared to go to see the Empress after having a whole table full of delicious food. And you, old man, don’t you know why I went there?
Mu Xu turned around and said, "Everyone, what kind of person is the Queen? She is kind, filial, thrifty, likes to pass on the tradition, observes the good and evil of the ancients, examines and judges herself, respects etiquette and laws, likes to read books and commerce, and is familiar with ancient events. She is talented in writing, blessed by nature, and is the best in martial arts. I won't talk about these, after all, these are only a small part of the Queen's many advantages. But you actually want to use me to punish the Queen. The Queen is injured, and you impeached her. This is right. After all, the Queen should be impeached, just like what I did today."

"But you can't think of punishing the queen, especially you, Zhao Wuxiu. Isn't Zhou Yuanrang heartbroken to see the queen's white hair? And you, Li Lingyun, the queen has been very kind to your Li family, we all know that. And you, Li Jiulang, what's wrong with you?"

Mu Xu may not be the best scholar in the world.

Because there is no best in literature.

But when it comes to intelligence and eloquence, there is no one else like him in the whole capital.

With just a few words, he turned black into white, and in the process he flattered people silently. I don't know how that old man had the nerve to say such words.

What's so important to you, old man? Is it just for three months' salary?

Everyone looked at Mu Xu, shaking their heads, and wondering why Commander Yan was not here.

Su Wenqing did think of this, but did not intend to respond.

If he is guilty and has admitted it, then he should be punished. This is the best response.

Now, if anyone speaks out, Mu Xu will definitely hound him.

Seeing that Old Master Su didn't say anything, no one said much.

However, how could Mu Xu not guess it?
Mu Xu bowed deeply to Su Changan and said loudly: "My queen, I have disturbed you during your convalescence. I admit my guilt, but they want to punish you. I refuse to admit it."

Su Changan looked at Mu Xu, then at his grandfather and some other people.

Things that happen in the court are never decided at the big or small court meetings. This is just a notification, because those major national affairs are finalized in the imperial study next door. What to do, how to do it, what the consequences are, and what the results are, everything has been finalized so I will just talk about it here.

At the court meeting, some trivial matters were discussed, or some things that were arranged in advance.

But this is not important, what is important is.
Su Changan looked at Mu Xu, was silent for a moment, picked up a pen, wrote something, and then sent it to his wife.

Xia Fengxiang looked at the note and said, "Wife, are they talking about me? Am I that good? Or are they just a few of my strengths? Let Mu Xu write it down later and you can recite it later."

Everyone could clearly see what the Queen wrote and handed it to His Majesty.

But at the same time as they were curious, everyone saw an expression of pain on the Queen's face.

The next moment, His Majesty quickly looked at the Queen, and even the Palace Lady Sun who was standing at the side hurried forward.
