Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 308
Shen Xi didn't speak immediately.

She pondered for a while before saying: "I don't mean to blame the Lord, but since I have found the source of this 'doting concubines and destroying wives', I have to talk to the Lord. Many concubines in the world are not my own. Want to choose.

"Those original wives who are unlucky may not necessarily be wronged. Mr. Zuo's definition of favoring concubines and destroying wives seems to be unfair."

Zuo Qinghui sneered: "It doesn't matter what the other side is, it's just not good for the husband to help the concubine's room to suppress the main room!"

Shen Xi continued: "Then if the concubine has done a lot of service, is she more respected than the main wife? Could it be that such a concubine can't be respected too?"

Zuo Qinghui looked at her contemptuously: "Miss, have you ever heard of a case where the concubine was more respected than the main room?"

"Of course!" Shen Xi laughed, "If Mr. Zuo has read more books, he should know, there are many such examples in history!

"Cui Ning, a famous general during Daizong's period, had a concubine named Ren, who not only distributed his private wealth to rescue the guards and soldiers at critical moments, but was later conferred the title of Mrs. Yiguo.

"There is even Liang Shi, the anti-gold female general, who is also a heroine who sacrificed her life to defend the country.

"The important thing is that many empress dowagers who have gone down in history in the past dynasties were originally concubines themselves!

"These are all reputable women! Master Wen looks down on women from the concubine, what kind of psychology is in his mind?
"According to what you said, only queens can be queen mothers in all dynasties? If a queen mother is not born in the royal family, is her name not proper? Can't she be respected by the world?"

When these words came out, the whole hall was dumbfounded!

Zuo Qinghui was sure that she would not have any evidence to refute him, so a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

But when he heard this, sweat broke out on his forehead!
Empress Dowager Zheng was not only promoted by concubines, she was actually Li Ding's concubine in the past!
What's more, everyone knows how dangerous the fights in the harem were in the early years, and the Empress Dowager Zheng's hands were often stained with the blood of princes and concubines.

He said in front of her that the concubine's room should not overwhelm the main room. Isn't this also an allusion to the Empress Dowager Zheng's injustice? !
He didn't expect this!

It turned out that it was a lie that Shen Xi spoke for some concubine, but the truth was that he intended to take him into the ditch!
Behind the bead curtain, Queen Mother Zheng couldn't say what she felt, while Han Dun on the side frowned and looked at Shen Xi.

Zuo Qinghui hurriedly said to the little emperor: "Miss Shen's words have nothing to do with Shen Chongguang's doting on his concubine and destroying his wife! Please let the Shen family show evidence!"

The little emperor's face was stretched into a discus, and he stared down with a gloomy face: "So in your eyes, my mother's queen is just a concubine that people look down upon.

"It turns out that you shouted long live in front of me all day long, but in private secretly laughed at the reputation of my throne and empress dowager for being unfair!

"Zuo Qinghui, you can humiliate me, but why do you humiliate the Queen Mother?!"

"Your Majesty!" Zuo Qinghui was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and kowtowed!

"The emperor calm down!" Han Dun came out upon seeing this, "Lord Zuo just let Miss Shen go in with a few words, not disrespectful to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

"Miss Shen, you are full of fallacies, and you deliberately led the court officials to make mistakes, but you are suspected of plotting wrongdoing and provoking the monarch and ministers, why don't you kneel down and confess to the emperor?!"

Xiao Huai stood up with a sneer: "Mr. Han Ge is trying to detain Miss Shen for unwarranted charges?

"Why do I hear that Miss Shen is justifying the Queen Mother's name, but Zuo Qinghui's words are full of contempt for the concubine?
"He said the words himself. Miss Shen didn't force him or scare him. If he didn't really think so, how could the girl speak out for him?
"Mr. Han Ge felt that he couldn't hold back anymore, so he turned around and framed him?

"Justify it, and admit it if you don't!
"After all, you are also court officials with imperial examination backgrounds. You can't even argue with a girl, and you still want to intimidate others? You are not afraid of losing face to our Great Zhou court!"

Han Dun's face turned cold, and he said, "Instead of wasting time on these quarrels—"

"Old Han Ge!" Before he could finish speaking, the little emperor stood up and looked at him with pursed lips: "This is not a meaningless quarrel. It is about the dignity of the empress dowager.

"The Great Zhou ruled the world with filial piety. As a subject, if I can't even stop the court from humiliating the Queen Mother, then what's the point of me sitting on this dragon chair?
"If I can't even protect my own mother and queen, how can I care for the common people in the world?

"If I don't punish her severely this time, there will be people vying to follow suit in the future, and then the whole world will be talking about my mother.

"Is that kind of situation what Mr. Han Ge and all the lovers would like to see?"

Han Dun was speechless under his strict words.

Looking at Empress Dowager Zheng behind the bead curtain, Empress Dowager Zheng also sat there without moving!
On this side, Jin Xiao and the others saw this, and immediately said: "It turns out that Zuo Qinghui instigated Hu Yushi to frighten Mr. Shen to dote on his concubine and destroy his wife. It is false, and it is true to insinuate intentionally offend Tianyan!
"The empress dowager has devoted herself to the country for so many years, and she deserves to be admired by the people of the world! I implore the emperor to punish Zuo Qinghui severely and maintain the dignity of the Tian family!"

"My minister agrees!"

Du Jia, Liu He and others all began to plead for orders.

"Your Majesty, spare me!" Zuo Qinghui had bruises on his forehead, and his voice was distorted!

"My lords, Zuo Qinghui despises the emperor's prestige, I believe everyone has a fair opinion.

"However, he instigated court officials to falsely accuse his colleagues, and also involved the empress dowager. The motive behind this is even more thought-provoking!"

Shen Xi's clear voice sounded again in the hall.

"Master Zuo falsely accuses my uncle, which can be said to be ostracism, but why did you target the empress dowager? Could it be that the empress dowager also offended you?
"Or are you being instructed by someone?"

Zuo Qinghui had already been overwhelmed by the little emperor's words, so how could he answer? !

"Okay!" Empress Dowager Zheng stood up behind the bead curtain, and there was a hint of anger in her words, "Put Zuo Qinghui to the side first, and then discuss Shen Chongguang's matter!"

Zuo Qinghui's death was extremely unexpected!

No one thought that Shen Xi would take the lead and attack him, and what was even more unexpected was that her unreasonable reasoning actually pulled the little emperor's heart away!
He was brought into the ditch to say that, and it was inconvenient for her to speak out as the object of the argument.

She wanted to wait for Han Dun to bring this matter to the past, so as not to let Shen Xi succeed.But who knew that the little emperor would be so repulsive about this matter!

Of course, it was a lie for her to say that she was not moved. Which mother would not be happy that her young son could have such filial piety?

But for him who is only ten years old and has only been on the throne for less than three years, it still surprised her that he had such courage to say such a thing in front of civil and military officials!You must know that when he is in the court, he only utters one or two sentences at most, not many words!
