Chapter 496: Persuasion
Xu Shilang's heart was like ashes, he knew that his life was the end of his life, and it had affected the entire Xu family.
The rest of the ministers didn't dare to make another attempt, and they were silent.
"Today, I will make it clear to you in front of the queen." Qin Zhao still had a calm face, "I, I won't accept Lu Youruo as a concubine." ”
Lu Qingjin's heart jumped slightly when he heard this, it turned out that he was angry because of this.
Qin Zhao glanced up at her and continued, "It's not just Lu Youruo, I won't accept any more concubines in this life. His scrutinizing gaze fell on the people below, "I am the Ninety-Five Supreme, what I want to do, I have my own plans, and it is not your turn to teach me." ”
"Ministers are convicted ......"
"Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking, that I'm incompetent and mediocre, but you should understand that I'm the emperor after all." Qin Zhao stood up and walked towards the ministers.
"The ministers dare not ......"
Qin Zhao snorted coldly, "Don't dare? You are one by one, your ambitions are greater than the sky, why don't you dare? ”
The courtiers trembled and lay on the ground, Qin Zhao looked at them in disgust, and said impatiently, "Get down." ”
He was indeed very jealous of these old ministers in the court at first, because his foundation was unstable at that time and he urgently needed the help of these old ministers.
But now it is different, his wings are gradually full, and in another two years at most, he will no longer be limited by these people.
In fact, now he is not afraid of their persecution at all, and the big deal has been a stalemate, he wants to see who can have the last laugh.
The ministers left, and Lu Qingjin and Qin Zhao were left in the palace.
Lu Qingjin had been silent, she was mainly thinking about Qin Zhao's words just now.
She really guessed correctly, Qin Zhao's anger in the Heart Cultivation Hall this time was related to herself.
Qin Zhao turned to look at her and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
Lu Qingjin came back to his senses and walked towards Qin Zhao with his feet raised, "That Xu Shilang, do you really want to send it to Southern Xinjiang?" ”
What kind of place is southern Xinjiang, she knows why Xu Shilang ended up like this, she also knows, and the ministers in the palace also understand.
She was afraid that once Xu Shilang was really sent to southern Xinjiang, the voice of dissatisfaction with Qin Zhao in the DPRK would be even more serious.
Gossip will say that she is ruined, and Qin Zhao is incompetent, and she doesn't want things to end up like this.
Qin Zhao nodded and said, "You don't have any jokes. ”
"But ......"
"Qingjin, I am your husband, I just want to protect you." Qin Zhao hugged her into his arms.
Lu Qingjin lay on his hard chest and said with some uneasiness, "But you are also the emperor, the emperor of the world." ”
"You are my queen, I defend my own queen, there is no problem." Qin Zhao said with a smile, he just couldn't get used to seeing others bullying Lu Qingjin, no one could.
Lu Qingjin still felt very uneasy, after all, this matter was originally her fault, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and she really shouldn't have entered the Heart Cultivation Palace.
"Qingjin, don't you have anything else to say to me?" Qin Zhao looked down at her.
Lu Qingjin was slightly stunned, in fact, there was, but she was thinking about how to ask.
After a long time, Lu Qingjin spoke, "Did the court force you to accept Lu Youruo as a concubine?" ”
Qin Zhao nodded, "Yes." ”
She exhaled heavily, "Then they are really persevering, at the beginning they wanted you to abolish the queen and change Lu Youruo to the queen, but now they are relieved, as long as you accept Lu Youruo as a concubine." ”
Qin Zhao pinched her soft cheeks and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't let them get their way." ”
Lu Qingjin bit his lower lip and groaned for a moment, and finally made up his mind, "Qin Zhao, you should take Lu Youruo as a concubine." ”
Qin Zhao was slightly stunned when he heard this, "Qingjin, do you know what you're talking about?" ”
Qin Zhao can see how wrong there is between Lu Qingjin and Lu Youruo, including what Lu Youruo did to Lu Qingjin, Qin Zhao also knows it.
Lu Qingjin nodded, "I'm very sober now, Qin Zhao, you can take her as a concubine." ”
"Why?" He let go of his embrace, "Lu Qingjin, are you disgusted with me, so it doesn't matter who I want to accept as a concubine?" His face sank.
Lu Qingjin wanted to laugh a little when he heard him, he would only talk to her like this when he was angry.
She reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist and hid the whole person into his arms, "No, no, Qin Zhao, I just don't want you to embarrass me." ”
Qin Zhao grabbed her shoulders and pushed her away, bowing his head to eye level with her, "I'm not embarrassed at all, I know you hate that Lu Youruo, Qingjin, I hope you can always be happy." ”
"With you, I'm not unhappy, it's just a Lu Youruo, and it won't affect anything." Lu Qingjin smiled slightly, "Qin Zhao, as long as we are heart-to-heart, let alone one Lu Youruo, even if it is ten, we are not afraid." ”
"I don't feel at ease by putting such a femme fatale in the harem." Qin Zhao was resolute.
"Qin Zhao, if you don't accept Lu Youruo as a concubine this time, do you know what will happen?" She looked up at him, "They will say that you are mediocre, that you don't care about the overall situation, and will condemn you, Qin Zhao, I don't want that." ”
She didn't want Qin Zhao to bear those gossips because of her.
She knew that he didn't accept Lu Youruo as a concubine because he took into account her feelings, so she should also think more about him.
"I don't care about that." Qin Zhaoman said nonchalantly, "If they like to talk, let them say it, I don't care." ”
"No, you can't." Lu Qingjin looked at him dissatisfied, "I don't want you to go through that, you are the emperor, and you shouldn't go through that." ”
Speaking from his heart, Qin Zhao is indeed a good emperor, he concentrates on government affairs and is sympathetic to the people, such an emperor should not be crowned with ugly words like "mediocre and incompetent".
Both are thinking about each other, and neither is going to give in.
"Qin Zhao, you can take her into the harem, if you don't like it, you won't see her." Lu Qingjin persuaded, "It's just to set up a new palace for her, and give her an extra monthly amount of silver every month, there is no big difference." ”
"There's a big difference...... Qingjin, if she wants to live in the harem all the time in the future, it will be difficult for me to feel at ease, she is such a femme fatale, and hates you to the bone, if she wants to do something, pay little attention to it...... Qingjin, I can't tolerate any more harm from you. ”
Lu Qingjin looked at him seriously and said, "Qin Zhao, I know you're worried about me, it's okay for me, you have to believe me, I will definitely be able to protect myself." ”
"Qingjin, let me think about it again......" Qin Zhao walked to the table and wrote down his and Lu Qingjin's names, "I really hope that for a lifetime, a couple." ”
Lu Qingjin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he only felt warm in his heart.
