On the way to the palace, Qiu Zhen was still secretly thinking that no man would be able to handle a seductive woman like Wu Mei. There was a precedent for a king who had died because of a woman, so it would be great if he could reject the marriage between the King and Wu Mei.

When Qiu Zhen arrived at Tang Yin's palace, he just so happened to see the two Shangguan brothers standing guard outside the door. He quickly walked forward and asked: "Yuanwu, Yuanbiao, has the King not come out yet?"

"Prime Minister Qiu!" Seeing that Qiu Zhen had arrived, the Brother Shangguan saluted in unison before shaking his head: "The King is still in her room."

Qiu Zhen took a deep breath, raised his head and said: "Please knock on the door for me."

"Yes sir!"

Shangguan Yuanwu promised as he turned around and lightly knocked on the door. After knocking for a while, there was no sound from inside, Shangguan Yuanwu turned to look at Qiu Zhen, then increased his strength and knocked again. Just as he was about to break into the room, the door suddenly opened, and a neatly dressed Tang Yin walked out.

Tang Yin chuckled as he looked at Shangguan Yuanwu, but his tone was cold as he asked: "What else do you want?"

Seeing that Tang Yin was unhappy, Shangguan Yuanwu hurriedly bowed and said: "Great King, Prime Minister Qiu requests an audience!"

Tang Yin's gaze swept past Shangguan Yuanwu and looked behind him. Sure enough, Qiu Zhen was standing at the bottom of the stairs, frowning as he looked at him. Tang Yin did not invite Qiu Zhen to the hall, but instead walked out by himself, closed the door and walked towards Qiu Zhen.

"Great King!" As it was not a public place, Qiu Zhen did not show any form of courtesy, but instead bowed and cupped his hands in greeting.

Tang Yin replied, he waved his hand to indicate that he did not need to be courteous, and then asked: "Is the meeting going smoothly?"

"It went smoothly." Qiu Zhen answered truthfully.

Tang Yin waved at Qiu Zhen, and then walked into the garden in the courtyard. As he walked, he asked: "Is there anything important to discuss?"

This time, Qiu Zhen did not answer directly, but asked back: "From what General Yuanbiao said, the King is not feeling well, but this subject can't see any parts of the King's body that are not feeling well?"

Tang Yin was stunned at first, but then he smiled and said: "That was only an excuse. I was delayed because I had something to do this morning, so I didn't participate in Morning Meeting."

Qiu Zhen frowned: "Your highness must be because of Miss Wu Mei right?!"

Tang Yin laughed and turned back, looking at Qiu Zhen who was behind him, he said: "Qiu Zhen, you sure know quite a lot!"

Qiu Zhen said in a serious tone: "The King has just obtained the throne, and she is already neglecting the court. What do the ministers think? "And what do you expect the people to think …"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Tang Yin impatiently waved his hand and said: "With you and Yuanji here, everything will be resolved. There's not much difference whether or not I am in the imperial court."

Qiu Zhen replied anxiously, "Your majesty, don't forget that you are the king. Since you are the king, you should shoulder the responsibility of being the king.

His words were too harsh, so heavy that it shocked the two Shangguan brothers who were not far away, and they secretly broke out in cold sweat for Qiu Zhen. No matter how deep or intimate the relationship between Qiu Zhen and him, Tang Yin was still a sovereign right now.

If Qiu Zhen had only just called himself a Jun Mo Xie, Tang Yin wouldn't have felt much about it either. However, his words were full of contempt for Wu Mei, which made Tang Yin feel very uncomfortable. He said with a sunken voice: "Qiu Zhen, pay attention to your words, she is not a 'mere woman', she is the future wife of a nation!"

Qiu Zhen said tit for tat towards Tang Yin, "If this madam is disturbing the Sovereign's will and wants the Sovereign King to ignore all matters, then I don't care!"

Tang Yin looked at Qiu Zhen with wide eyes, wondering if he had misheard. He asked suspiciously: "What? "You're even involved in my private matters?"

Qiu Zhen bluntly reminded them, "The King is the monarch, and the monarch's private matters are also a matter of the nation."

Hearing that, Tang Yin was so angry that steam was coming out of his seven orifices. If not for his shocking self-control, he would have already punched Qiu Zhen's face. He took a deep breath, suppressed his fury, and looked Qiu Zhen straight in the eyes: "In the future, Xiao Mei will be my wife, no matter who it is, it cannot be changed. If it's only because of this matter, then please leave!"

Qiu Zhen said: "Your majesty, I am not forcing you to not marry Miss Wu Mei. I just hope that you will not hold up the court for Miss Wu Mei!"

Tang Yin really couldn't understand why this Morning Meeting was so important to him. He retorted, "When discussing government affairs, do we have to do it in the morning? Can't you do it now? Noon, afternoon, night? I can't understand why you like to wrap yourselves up in a box so much. Both England and Japan have monarchs, so why should the monarchs of the other be allowed to leave the house while I left the house? What is the use of having you ministers? "

"Britain? "Japan?" Qiu Zhen was at a loss. In his memories, he had never heard of these two countries.

Tang Yin patted his head, and thought that he was about to be angered senseless by Qiu Zhen! He said, "Those are two countries you don't know about. In short, what I mean is that from now on, the Right Prime Minister is in charge of the government affairs and the Minister of the Left is in charge of the military affairs.

In the past, Tang Yin's and the ancient people's thoughts would not conflict much, but now that he had become the ruler of a nation, the differences in their thoughts were completely exposed. Tang Yin could not understand Qiu Zhen's thoughts, and Tang Yin's thoughts were like the stars in the sky.

If the monarch did not care and allowed the minister to take control of the imperial government, then what else could the monarch do? Wasn't this equivalent to a country falling? Qiu Zhen was so angry that his eyes were blurred. His fingers trembled as he pointed at Tang Yin and cursed: "Dumb Monarch! "A mediocre person …"

Tang Yin was now also angry, and replied back unabashedly, "You are a deceitful official!"

Being mercilessly accused by Tang Yin as a deceiver, Qiu Zhen almost wanted to die at this time. Both of his eyes were bloodshot as he punched towards Tang Yin and shouted, "I hit you, you unconscious ruler!"

Ouch! Qiu Zhen dared to make a move on him, but Tang Yin had never expected that he would do so. Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao were even more shocked, as they stood up in shock, and did not move an inch.

Qiu Zhen is a scholar, how could his fist even hit Tang Yin? The latter lightly dodged and allowed Qiu Zhen's fist to pass, and at the same time coldly shouted: "Qiu Zhen, don't think that just because you have performed a high merit that I am not willing to touch you. If you dare to be rude again, I want your head!"

He thought that he could scare Qiu Zhen, but the latter didn't hear him at all.

Aiya! It seemed like Qiu Zhen was really angry! At this time, Tang Yin actually calmed down first. No matter what, he was a modern man, his thoughts were far more advanced than Qiu Zhen. He calmed down to think that his words just now were a bit too much, a constitutional monarchy was too inconceivable for this era.

He retreated a few steps, and increased the distance between him and Qiu Zhen, raised his voice, and shouted: "Qiu Zhen!"

Qiu Zhen was startled by his shout, and gasped for breath as he looked at Tang Yin. He took a deep breath, muttered to himself for a while and said, "Alright, you've won. I will be participating in the imperial court meeting every day in the future. Are you satisfied now?"

As if unsure if Tang Yin was speaking the truth, he stared at Tang Yin suspiciously, and asked: "Is your words true?"

Tang Yin said: "I am Jun Wu Yi!"

Hearing that, Qiu Zhen stayed in place for three seconds, the redness on his face slowly faded. He took a deep breath, then straightened his clothes and walked to Tang Yin's side, respectfully kneeling on the ground, he kowtowed and said: "This subject has just insulted the King, and attacked the King, I beg the King to punish me!"

Heh! Tang Yin almost sneered as he looked down at the kneeling Qiu Zhen, not knowing whether he should scold him or laugh at him. He helplessly shook his head and said, "Stand up! Seeing that you came here with loyalty, I don't blame you. "

"You can't!" Qiu Zhen shook his head seriously, and said: "A fault is a fault, you can't avoid punishment! This subject is disrespectful to my great king, if my great king does not punish us, if we set an example for him, wouldn't that mean that everyone would disrespect my great king in the future?

Sometimes, Tang Yin was helpless when it came to Qiu Zhen's bad temper, but it was precisely because of this that he truly loved Qiu Zhen from the bottom of his heart. If it was another person treating him like this today, Tang Yin's blade would have already been sliced through, but of course, the only person who dared to talk back to Tang Yin with such force was Qiu Zhen.

"How should we punish those who are disrespectful to the monarch?" Tang Yin really did not understand this aspect of the criminal law.

"The carriage broke apart and the nine clans were annihilated." Qiu Zhen answered truthfully.

The corner of Tang Yin's mouth twitched, and he asked: "If you die, who can inherit the position of the Left Premier?"

Qiu Zhen replied seriously: "Both Master Zhang and Zong Yuan are fine."

He reached out and pulled Qiu Zhen up, and said faintly: "Although Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan can take over the position of Minister Zuo, the two of them are not as good as you!"

These words of confirmation almost moved Qiu Zhen to tears. He said in a low voice, "Your Majesty …"

Tang Yin reached out and grabbed his shoulder, and said: "I know how loyal you are, and I also understand that you hate how you don't fight over it, and are angry that it isn't strong enough. Besides, you're my Prime Minister, my most trusted person. You still have to assist me in setting down a large and stable mountain. How can you die? "Your punishment …" He pondered for a moment and said, "We can punish the one month old Salary."

"This subject... "Thank you, Great King …" These four words, were what Qiu Zhen said while squinting his eyes.

The relationship between Qiu Zhen and Tang Yin, was not only the relationship between a normal monarch and his official, but also a friend, a close friend and brother. Tang Yin's trust in Qiu Zhen, and Qiu Zhen's loyalty to him, all came from here.

Tang Yin was unable to imbue his thoughts into Qiu Zhen, so he could only choose to compromise. However, in order to cancel the marriage agreement between him and Wu Mei, Tang Yin could not let him go even a single inch. His liking for Wu Mei might not have reached the level of love, but protecting his woman from harm was also his responsibility as a man.
