My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield

Early the next morning, the eunuch came to Su Wen’s residence.

As Su Wen came out to welcome him, and the eunuch announced in a loud voice:

“His Majesty has decreed that Su Wen has made great contributions in the corruption case at the Eastern District’s patrolling area. He will be promoted to the position of Lecturer in the Profound Language Pavilion, effective immediately.”

Su Wen’s jaw dropped.

Profound Language Pavilion’s… lecturer?

If he remembered correctly, the Profound Language Pavilion’s lecturers were all young scholars.

After all, all of the scholars in the Profound Language Pavilion had passed the imperial examinations sometime in the past. They could be said to have exquisite knowledge and were the top scholars of Great Zhou.

A person who could be their lecturer was no doubt a learned and erudite person.

It could be said that they were existences that could strengthen the learning of these new officials of Great Zhou.

Send himself to be a lecturer?

Has the emperor gone mad?

Or had he himself gone mad?

At this moment, the eunuch closed the decree and continued, “His Majesty has another decree. If Su Wen continues to neglect governmental affairs like when he was in the Patrol Office, the Emperor will punish you!”

“Hehehe….”

Su Wen did not know how to respond at all.

This promotion was rather frustrating.

After the eunuch left, Ning Shuang went forward to put away the decree before whispered, “Is Young Master unhappy?”

Su Wen said with a bitter smile, “He might as well not promote me! He’s clearly messing with me on purpose. His Majesty is indeed petty!”

Ning Shuang smiled and said, “Then what does Young Master plan to do?”

Su Wen rolled his eyes and said, “Hold on, the royal edict didn’t tell me when to report anyway! I’ll go out for a walk before going later!”

Fine, if he could be lazy for even a minute more, he would jump at the chance! If it was not for the decree stating that it was effective immediately, Su Wen might even delay him for half a month before going.

After coming to a conclusion, Su Wen brought Zhao Jin and Chu He out of the residence.

He headed straight for Cloud Gazing Tower.

At this time, the document from the Ministry of Appointments’ arrived at the Profound Language Pavilion.

Fei Chi looked at the document in his hand as he trembled in anger!

“Ridiculous! Ridiculous! How… How can this Su Wen become a lecturer at our Profound Language Pavilion? What right does he have to become a lecturer? Why is His Majesty humiliating us scholars like this?”

The two of them had already become enemies the last time. Now that he heard that Su Wen was going to be brought here, the old man almost fainted.

“I want to meet the Sage!”

Fei Chi stood up to leave!

“Elder Fei, please wait!” The person who came to deliver the document smiled and said, “Prime Minister Su has also sent word through us that Su Wen is behaving preposterously, thus His Majesty wants to use the literary aura in the Profound Language Pavilion to temper his character. If Elder Fei is able to handle this matter well, there is hope for him to become the Minister of Rites.”

“Eh?” Fei Chi was stunned.

He had been in the Profound Language Pavilion for many years, and after becoming the Grand Secretary in this place had thought that there was no way for him to progress further.

He did not expect Su Changqing to send someone to pass on this message.

What did he mean? He wanted him to take care of Su Wen?

The Minister of Rites? Fei Chi’s heart burned with excitement. That was part of the six major departments! Although the authority of the Ministry of Rites was relatively light, that would only be if they were compared to the other major departments. Compared to a mere Profound Language Pavilion, it was a department with real power!

“Su Changqing wants me to take care of Su Wen?” Fei Chi asked.

The person who delivered the document shook his head and smiled. “Minister Su didn’t say that. The Prime Minister only asked me to pass this message to Elder Fei. As for how to understand it, that’s your business. As for how you do it, it has nothing to do with Minister Su as well. Since the message has been delivered, this lowly official will take his leave.”

With that said, he turned and left.

Fei Chi fell into deep thought.

What did Su Changqing mean?

His Majesty wanted to use the Profound Language Pavilion’s literary aura to sharpen Su Wen. If one were to understand it literally, it would be to make things difficult for Su Wen.

However, there just had to be that last sentence. If it was done well, there was hope for him to become the Minister of Rites.

What constituted doing a good job? Was it deliberately making things difficult for Su Wen and giving him a hard time?

But who was the messenger sent from? It was Su Wen’s father. It didn’t make sense.

Could that be considered taking care of Su Wen? But it was clear from his words that His Majesty wanted to sharpen Su Wen.

In the Great Zhou, who could defy His Majesty?

After pondering for a while, Fei Chi made his decision!

He would not trouble him, nor would he care about him!

Let’s see how he fares from this.

This was Su Changqing’s brilliant technique. He did not leave any evidence behind as well.

Even if someone told Emperor Zhou about these actions one day, Su Changqing would still have a chance to turn things around.

Did he ask him to take care of Su Wen? No! He only said that Emperor Zhou wanted to train Su Wen.

What did he promise him? The Minister of Rites? That meant that he had a chance to become the Minister of Rites! If he did it well, Fei Chi’s qualifications would not be a problem. This was the truth. However, there were no less than ten people in the court who had a chance to become the Minister of Rites. As for whether or not he wanted to become the Minister of Rites, wouldn’t it still be up to Emperor Zhou? So could this even be considered a promise?

However, his words had unknowingly eased the tension between Fei Chi and Su Wen.

Benefits were the threshold that humans could never cross.

In the face of benefits, many personal grudges could be released slightly.

At the Cloud Gazing Tower, Su Wen met up with Xie Yiyi.

“What? Miss Yiyi agrees to marry me?” Su Wen touched his chin and looked at Xie Yiyi who was still wearing her veil. He smiled and said, “Wait, please take off your veil first!”

Xie Yiyi had laughter in her eyes. “Why?”

“I’m here to inspect the goods!” Su Wen said matter-of-factly. “If I don’t take a look at your face, how can I let you into the mansion without any worries? What if you have buck teeth and a garlic shaped nose? Wouldn’t I suffer a huge loss?”

Su Wen did not want to be like the men in his time, dying of a heart attack when their bride first took off all their makeup.

This was especially so after he survived in an era where pictures and physical objects were highly incompatible. The scene of many people online using photoshop to edit their faces in online dating sites was still firmly engraved in his mind.

Xie Yiyi smiled. “Does Young Master Su really only care about Yiyi’s looks?”

Su Wen rolled his eyes. “Don’t tell me you have something else to look at?”

Xie Yiyi looked aggrieved. “I thought Young Master Su liked Yiyi. I didn’t expect Young Master Su to only like this layer of skin!”

Su Wen laughed loudly. “Haha, if I wasn’t the son of the Prime Minister, I wouldn’t even be able to enter the door to your room. Aren’t you also marrying me because of my father’s power?”

Xie Yiyi knew that this man in front of her was not easy to fool.

Thus, she reached out and gently removed her veil.

In the next second, an exquisite face appeared in front of Su Wen.

Her nose and mouth were so beautiful. Xie Yiyi, who was originally full of sex appeal, looked even more stunning after she removed her veil.

Her delicate features, charming eyes, and exquisite makeup portrayed a flawless persona!

Xie Yiyi was very confident that no man could resist her temptation.

This was also the reason why she always wore a veil. After so many years, too many things had happened because of this face.

Su Wen gulped and suddenly said, “Someone, get me a basin of water!”

“???” Xie Yiyi’s face was blank as she asked, “Young Master Su, what do you mean?”

Su Wen smiled. “Wash your face, remove your makeup first!”

Xie Yiyi had never encountered such a request before.

However, she did not have any way to resist Su Wen.

After she finished washing her face, Su Wen looked at the still beautiful bare face in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

An hour later, Xie Yiyi and Su Wen boarded the carriage and left slowly.

Xie Dajia stood upstairs and looked at the departing carriage, letting out a faint sigh.

“Su Wen, you will soon become the puppet of our Demonic Music Sect. However, before that, you can enjoy a beautiful and gentle wife. You’re lucky!”

Xie Dajia muttered to herself.
