The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping
Chapter 117: Female Supremacy Hua Mulan 5
Three days later, the empress finally issued an order to summon the meritorious soldiers of the border guard army in the Golden Palace. Qing Wu, as a very outstanding general in this battle, was naturally on the list of those summoned.
However, before the empress summoned the meritorious soldiers, the news that Qing Wu, who had just been named the third-rank cavalry general, was a man was suddenly released. Soon, everyone in and outside the court knew about it, and it caused an uproar. Everyone argued about it.
Qing Wu was a man, but he pretended to be a woman to enter the military camp, which was a serious crime in Fengyuan. But he was also a meritorious official who defeated Huangyu in Fengyuan. He fought on the border for several years and made many military exploits. He worked hard and made great contributions. It can be said that he made contributions to the country.
Under such circumstances, the treatment of Qing Wu caused many people to debate. Some insisted on the law and wanted to execute Qing Wu, while others believed that Qing Wu had made contributions to Fengyuan and should be given a break.
Although it is not allowed for men to join the army under the law, there are human feelings outside the law. For Qing Wu, a minister who has made contributions to the country, his military exploits over the years should not be ignored just because of his identity, and he should not be punished just because he is a man. If so, it would be too cruel.
Many civilians in Fengyuan State think so. Although Fengyuan State is a female-dominated country, the people are more concerned about their daily lives. General Qing Wu guards the border and fights on the battlefield. Without General Qing Wu's fighting, how can they have peace and tranquility?
So although Qing Wu's identity as a man was exposed, he was not criticized much in the discussions of the civilians, and most civilians were still grateful and admired him.
Some civilian men even developed a feeling of admiration for Qing Wu, thinking that Qing Wu's actions showed the world that men are not necessarily worse than women, and they do not have to flatter women blindly to have power and status. They can do it on their own!
But unfortunately, the ideas of ordinary people cannot influence the decisions of the upper class to a certain extent. Such things have always been decided by those who hold power, and the ones who can decide Qing Wu's life and death are Emperor Feng and the ministers in the court.
And these women who have been at the peak of power for many years have a fixed understanding of men. For them, Qing Wu, as a man, going to the battlefield is not only a violation of the law, but also a provocation.
Women in high positions have never thought of sharing the power in their hands with men, because if men hold power, the situation of women being superior to men will be broken, which is unacceptable to many women in high positions.
So, when the court and the public were talking about Qing Wu's affairs, the protagonist of this matter, Qing Wu, had been secretly escorted to the dark prison in the palace by the empress's people and was detained. Because the matter of Qing Wu had not been concluded, the empress did not directly take action against Qing Wu, and could only temporarily detain him.
Feng Qingyun knew that it was because of her carelessness that Qing Wu's true identity was discovered. She felt guilty and regretful. At the same time, she was very worried about Qing Wu's situation. She mobilized all her forces to lobby the ministers in the hope of absolving Qing Wu of her guilt.
Feng Qingyun had good intentions and worked very hard to save Qing Wu, but unfortunately, she had never loved power. After traveling here, she only knew how to travel and have fun every day. She didn't have much power at all. So even if she showed her support for Qing Wu, few ministers in the court changed their minds because of her.
Not to mention, Feng Qingyun had many sisters who were as fierce as wolves. They all stared at the phoenix chair under the empress. It was common for them to plot against each other for the throne. In this case, Feng Qingyun's sisters plotted behind her back and planned to use Qing Wu's matter to slander Feng Qingyun.
After all, although Feng Qingyun has always acted very harmless, as if she is not interested in power and only intends to be a dandy, who knows if she is acting. The battle for the royal throne has always been dangerous, with either death or injury. For the throne, they are not afraid to take action in advance to eliminate their competitors.
At this time, the palace is a dark prison. Although it is called a dark prison, the environment is not too bad. It is just that a palace was opened up in a remote place in the palace as a dark prison.
In addition, Qing Wu’s affairs are quite troublesome. He himself has made contributions to Fengyuan Kingdom. The public opinion inside and outside the court on how to deal with Qing Wu has not yet been determined. If you act rashly, at this critical moment when the border army has won a great victory over Huangyu Kingdom, it will also be troublesome for the empress.
So although the courtyard where Qing Wu is imprisoned is remote, it is not dilapidated, and it has not been bullied. Although he cannot go out of the room and his freedom is restricted, he has not deducted anything in all aspects of life.
Xuan Yuan was wearing a wide robe with silver patterns on a black background. His sleeves were flowing and elegant. He stood by the window, looking at the blood-red sky and sunset outside through the hollow window bars. His expression was cold and indifferent, and his back was straight and hard.
"0617, how is the thing I asked you to do?" Xuan Yuan's eyes were cold and dark. The blood-red sunset light fell on his straight nose and thin lips, making him look even more handsome and charming, as if you would be taken away by just one look.
0617 responded with a hum, and then whispered: "Host, is this really useful? By the way, where did you get this thing?" This is the ancient world of women, okay? Big brother, can you not be so unconventional?
"This is not something you should worry about. Just tell me if you can control it and let it evolve into the required scene at the time I specify." Need to answer with a faint expression, and do not comment on 0617's inquiry.
0617 immediately became timid and did not dare to ask further questions. He just patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, host. Leave this matter to me. There is no problem at all!"
Xuan Yuan hummed lightly, his expression was still calm, as if he was not very moved, but his phoenix eyes under his long eyebrows were slightly raised, and a very cold and condensed light flashed across his eyes, as if he was waiting for something, and it seemed that it was the eve of a storm.
"Qing Wu!" After paying homage to the empress, Feng Qingyun acted coquettishly and foolishly to get the permission of the queen mother to visit Qing Wu in the dark prison. After entering this remote courtyard, she saw Qing Wu standing by the window with his hands behind his back.
He was as thin as a bamboo, but quite thin. At this time, he was wearing a wide Confucian robe. When the long wind blew up his lapels and wide sleeves, he looked even thinner and taller. The whole person seemed to be flying away with the wind, looking noble, cold, lonely and deserted.
For a moment, Feng Qingyun's heart was filled with heartache. In her heart, Qing Wu was a strong and righteous person who had fought for Fengyuan country for many years and defended her country in life and death battles. However, such a person who served the country and the people and had a righteous heart was framed and slandered, lost his freedom and was imprisoned here.
... Emmmm, it must be said that having a high appearance does have many advantages. It is really an advantage to be good-looking, not to mention that Qing Wu, like Xuanyuan, has both beauty and temperament, which completely touched Feng Qingyun's crazy heart.
"Qing Wu, I will definitely find a way to rescue you, don't worry!" Standing in front of Xuanyuan, Feng Qingyun was extremely excited. She couldn't help but want to hold Qing Wu's hand to express her excitement. Of course... it is not ruled out that she wants to take advantage.
Xuanyuan took a step back, and his wide sleeves gently brushed past, and he had already pushed Feng Qingyun away, pulling the distance between them. His movements were as smooth as flowing water, and he was so casual that Feng Qingyun hadn't reacted yet, and he was already standing at the door, a million miles away from the beauty.

Xuanyuan's expression was indifferent, and there seemed to be a dark light flowing in his deep eyes. He said indifferently: "Your Highness the Seventh Princess, Qingwu thanks you for your concern for me, but Qingwu doesn't want to get out of here, but hopes to be treated equally."
In Feng Qingyun's confused eyes, Xuanyuan looked at her deeply: "Qingwu just hopes that no matter what my identity is, I can be treated equally and fairly. Instead of being wiped out because of my identity as a man."
Feng Qingyun's breathing suddenly stagnated, she stared at Xuanyuan in a daze, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Yes, this is Qingwu, with a proud heart, like jade and bamboo. What made him sad was not that he was imprisoned, but all the injustices that men have experienced in Fengyuan Country.
If this matter cannot be resolved, if the man cannot be given fairness, if all his merits are erased just because of his identity, then even if Qing Wu is safe this time, there will still be the next "Qing Wu" in the future.
"Qing Wu, don't worry, I will definitely find a way!" Feng Qingyun spoke in a dry voice, gritting her teeth, and this time, her determination is even stronger. She must change this world and give the men in this world a fair chance.
Not just for Qing Wu.
But to think in another's shoes, if it is a woman who is oppressed, she also hopes that someone can speak up for women and give them a fair chance.
Xuanyuan's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a deep smile, and whispered: "Thank you, Your Highness."
