Chapter 37
"Because of her, because she is Qingxuan's queen, I pushed forward my plan to attack Qingxuan, in order to let her come to Tianqin as soon as possible, and come to my side."

"According to what Shen Xiang said, Qingxuan destroyed the country, shouldn't you blame me the most?"

"It was I who made the plan to attack Qingxuan in advance, it was I who led the Tianqin army forward, and it was I who broke through Qingxuan's city gate and turned Qingxuan into Shun'an."

"How? How will Prime Minister Shen criticize me with words and pens?"

Emperor Tian Qin showed no other expressions on his face, but looked carefully at his eyes, and found a little dark red in his eyes, which showed that he was in extreme anger at the moment.

After observing all this, Zuo Qiuju pinched the tiger's mouth with all his strength. At this time, he must be sober. If... If His Majesty really asks someone to drag Xiangye out and chop him up, then he must stop him, even if he uses him this fate.

Zuoqiu wanted to save Shen Ji, not because he didn't want Tian Qin to lose this courtier, but because he was worried that after news of Shen Ji's death spread, unreasonable people would continue to place the blame on the empress.

At that time, His Majesty will only choose to drag all the people out and chop them up.

At this moment, Shen Ji's mind was blank, and he couldn't think of anything to answer. He just kept saying, "The old minister is terrified, the old minister is terrified..."

"What? You don't need to talk about fate now? In your eyes, is Gu Ruzhen the demon queen who caused Qingxuan to destroy the country?"

Emperor Tianqin's words were actually on the minds of many people.

But what you think in your heart is one thing, and whether you dare to say it or not is another.

"Your Majesty." After a long time, Shen Ji raised his eyes nervously, "If you like her, you can make her an imperial concubine, the same as the deputy queen, such a position is already honorable enough."

Shen Ji began to give in, because he had clearly understood from His Majesty's words that His Majesty would definitely let this woman live in the harem.

That being the case, he might as well take a step back, not only to preserve the queen's position, but also to satisfy His Majesty.

But is Emperor Tianqin really satisfied after hearing this?
Obviously, he was not satisfied, and even frowned slightly, as if a little impatient.

"Shen Ji, did you really understand what I said in the hall?"

"Today, there will only be one mistress in Qin's harem, and that is Gu Ruzhen. She is my wife and shares the honor with me."

Shen Ji was so frightened by these words that he even held his breath, his face turned red because he hadn't breathed for a long time.

After a while, he asked with difficulty, "Your Majesty, all men have three wives and four concubines. You are still an emperor, how can you only have one woman by your side?"

If Shen Ji still felt regretful when he went out today, he didn't regret it at all when he heard these words now.

He even felt fortunate that he came to warn His Majesty today and let him know that His Majesty has such terrible thoughts.

Not to mention an emperor, even an ordinary family, and it is not said that a man has only one woman by his side, let alone the king of a country, if there is only one woman by his side, what will be the future of Tian Qin for the heirs of the royal family?
"Why not? There is no rule in the world that a man must have three wives and four concubines." Emperor Tianqin rubbed his brows, and his expression eased a little when he caught a glimpse of the picture of beauties hanging on the wall not far away.

Shen Ji looked up, his eyes gradually became firmer, "Your Majesty chose to have only one woman by his side, but have you ever thought about what to do with the royal heirs? Having no or few children is a serious crime."

If the person in front of him was just an ordinary person, Shen Ji might feel ridiculous when he heard his words, but he would not speak out to make him change his mind.

Because he is just an ordinary person, and the one in front of him is the emperor of Tian Qin.

His heirs are related to the future emperor of Tianqin, so he must not be careless.

"Your Majesty clearly learned that Gu Ruzhen must never be the Empress of Tianqin, and His Majesty must never have only one woman by her side."

Emperor Tianqin walked to the desk and sat down.

He tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and for a while the only sound of him tapping the table was heard in the hall.

One after another, it seemed like an extremely slow torture, and the sweat dripped down like raindrops.

Seeing this, Zuo Qiuju had no choice but to pinch his thighs, then threw off the whisk, stepped forward and knelt on the ground.

"What? You also think what I did was wrong, should you listen to what Shen Ji said and correct it?" Emperor Tian Qin stopped tapping on the table, and slowly shifted his gaze to Zuo Qiuju.

Zuo Qiuju hurriedly shook his head, "This servant thinks what Xiang Ye said is wrong."

"Oh?" Emperor Tianqin asked, "How did he make a mistake?"

Zuo Qiuju took the opportunity to put his hands behind his back and gestured to Shen Ji.

Although Shen Ji saw it, he decided to pretend that he didn't see it.

Today is a deadly remonstrance, and he also wants His Majesty to change this extremely absurd idea.

Zuo Qiuju took a deep breath and said, "The first emperor had many concubines, but they often fought openly and secretly, causing many disasters, this is one."

"There are many princes, but there is only one throne. Brothers and sisters can't avoid blood in the battle for succession. This is two."

"As Lord Weisheng said earlier, your Majesty's marriage of a wife is a state matter, and it is also a family matter. The Prime Minister is only His Majesty's servant, but dares to interfere in His Majesty's family affairs. This is the third."

Satisfaction flashed in Emperor Tianqin's eyes, and then he turned to look at Shen Ji, "What do you think of Zuoqiuju's words?"

In fact, at this time, Zuo Qiuju had already found a way out for Shen Ji.

As long as he agrees with Zuoqiu Ju's words and Emperor Tianqin's words next, then this matter will not be mentioned, and there may not even be punishment.

However, Shen Ji was not reconciled, he was full of blood at this time, and only felt that he should use his own blood to let His Majesty know what was right and what was wrong.

So he said in a muffled voice, "Many concubines of the first emperor caused disasters. That's because many of the women chosen by the first emperor were unworthy of the throne. There is only one emperor. The number of princes can give His Majesty enough time to observe. Who is the one who has both ability and political integrity? A candidate for the emperor."

"As for state affairs and family affairs, no matter what the matter is, what the old minister says is for His Majesty's sake."

Shen Ji closed his eyes, with a righteous expression on his face, "The old minister can show his will by dying."

As soon as these words came out, Zuo Qiuju, who was kneeling on the ground, loosened his body, almost collapsing directly.

He was covered in sweat, and the servant's ocher red clothes became much darker because of the sweat.

Originally he said those words, as long as Mr. Xiang continued to say what he said, things would be much easier.

His Majesty will not be angry, and Xiangye can survive.

Things after that can be discussed in the long run.

However, Xiangye not only did not follow his words, but instead vetoed them one by one, as if he wanted to block the way of life in front of him one by one.

In addition to these, there are also the four words "death to clear one's will".
