Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"Young Master Shangguan, do you know the duties of a military officer?"

The Grand Tutor questioned Shangguan Mufeng earnestly, even though Shangguan Mufeng's martial arts skills were indeed quite impressive.

However, if Shangguan Mufeng's insight is lacking, then he will not be able to fulfill the role of a military general.

"As far as I'm concerned, I think everyone will have different opinions about this position, and I'm no exception."

However, the Grand Tutor confirmed that Shangguan Mufeng had fully expressed his insights and abilities.

Shangguan Mufeng took a deep breath and then explained everything he had seen and understood in detail. The people around him were all shocked when they heard this.

Because what Shangguan Mufeng said made a lot of sense, everyone praised him.

Shangguan Mufeng was naturally a little surprised to be praised so suddenly. Later, Qin Yanling didn't really want Shangguan Mufeng to become a military general.

However, Shangguan Mufeng has now successfully passed the Grand Tutor's test, and he can now directly appoint people as military officers.

Qin Yu was very satisfied with Shangguan Mufeng's performance.

If things continue like this, Shangguan Mufeng will surely be able to grow old with Xu Jiu, since his younger brother has no intention of taking in any concubines.

"Although the Grand Tutor has indeed finished asking his questions, I still have something I wish to ask Young Master Shangguan. If Young Master Shangguan can answer my questions, then I will..."

After all, this is a choice made within their cabinet. Since it is a cabinet selection, the selection process is naturally different from a public election, and the selection process is naturally more rigorous.

Even if the Prime Minister was dissatisfied with Qin Yu, and even if Shangguan Mufeng was indeed Qin Yu's former male favorite, Shangguan Mufeng's performance just now did earn the Prime Minister's admiration, which showed that Shangguan Mufeng was capable.

Since he was capable, he could naturally serve as an official in the countryside, after all, he genuinely hoped that the country could prosper.

He turned his gaze to Shangguan Mufeng, walked up to him, and scrutinized him to make sure he had no ulterior motives before beginning to question him.

“Young Master Shangguan, the south has been experiencing a severe drought recently, and the local people are suffering greatly. What do you think we should do to calm their emotions?”

The officials around him fell into deep thought upon hearing this. They were also very curious to know Shangguan Mufeng's opinion on the matter. Even Qin Yanling turned his attention to Shangguan Mufeng.

They had been struggling with this problem for a long time, and if Shangguan Mufeng could solve it...

Qin Yu felt that these people were clearly making things difficult for him. This matter concerned the drought, which the officials in the court had discussed three days ago, but they still had different opinions in the past few days.

If Shangguan Mufeng expressed his views and the officials were dissatisfied, it was clearly intentional.

"I think such a question should be asked of the court's elders. Moreover, I remember that the ministers were discussing this issue three days ago, and they still hadn't reached a conclusion. So why are they asking Young Master Shangguan now?"

The Grand Tutor stepped forward and looked up at Qin Yu. "Your Highness, we only wanted to see Young Master Shangguan's insights. We did not intend to be hostile to Young Master Shangguan and Her Highness. Please do not defend Young Master Shangguan just because he was Her Highness's male favorite in the past."

Qin Yu knew that the Grand Tutor was doing it on purpose. He didn't expect that at this time, the Grand Tutor would still try to suppress him. Qin Yu found it really laughable.

"Young Master Shangguan was indeed one of my male favorites, but that's all in the past, isn't it? However, Young Master Shangguan, despite being one of my male favorites, is exceptionally talented in literature. But your son, this scoundrel Wang, is also one of my male favorites..."

Before Qin Yu could finish speaking, this Grand Tutor couldn't wait to confront him, but Qin Yu remained calm.

Qin Yanling saw this person, and naturally rebuked the Grand Tutor who was criticizing Qin Yu. "Eldest sister, as the eldest princess, how can the Grand Tutor speak like this without treating her as a princess?"

The Grand Tutor suddenly realized he had gone too far and knelt down with a thud. "Your Majesty, I know my crime and beg for punishment."

Qin Yanling looked up at Qin Yu again, but Qin Yu didn't seem to care at all. Meanwhile, Mo Yun stood in front of Qin Yu, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

For some reason, Mo Yun suddenly felt sorry for Qin Yu. As a princess, Qin Yu was ultimately helpless in some ways.

"I understand the Grand Tutor's meaning, and I will not hold it against him."

Shangguan Mufeng walked up to Qin Yu and indicated that he could answer their questions.

In front of everyone, Shangguan Mufeng answered the questions that had just been asked.

Upon hearing this, these people were all stunned in an instant, never expecting that Shangguan Mufeng was so powerful.

Although there were some discrepancies, it was still quite reasonable. Even the Prime Minister had to admit at that moment that Shangguan Mufeng's proposal was indeed much better than the one they had discussed.

"Young Master Shangguan's answer was excellent. I have decided that after I return, I will write an imperial edict to announce to the world that Young Master Shangguan has been appointed as a military general."

Shangguan Nantian was truly astonished by his son's insights.

In fact, Shangguan Nantian did not want his son to serve as an official in the court because the court was too treacherous and deceitful.

Shangguan Nantian was afraid that his son would not be able to face it, but after this experience, Shangguan Nantian felt that he did not understand Shangguan Mufeng enough.

He looked up at his son and saw him in that instant. His son's back was strong and upright. More importantly, his son had grown up and was no longer like before. He could stand on his own. In that instant, he felt very gratified.

Shangguan Nantian then walked up to Qin Yu and thanked her.

Meanwhile, the Minister of War, upon learning of this news, was overjoyed, as things were finally developing as he had envisioned. After all, his son could be released from confinement ahead of schedule.
