Wha...what?
Shao Sikou was immediately confused. How could the Queen say the words "How dare you"?
In addition to him, the prime ministers and the governor of Henan Prefecture also had blank faces and strange expressions, and were completely confused by the queen's move.
Some of the prime ministers' hearts sank. Just now, they thought the Queen was about to attack Shao Sikou, but now it seems... a bit uncertain.
"Your Majesty...Old Minister..." Young Sikou vaguely felt something, but he was not sure.
"You old man, if you dare to frame Zhongliang, I will kill you first!" The Queen glared and threatened. Seeing that Shao Sikou was still kneeling on the ground, she ordered him to get up.
Shao Sikou stood up and couldn't bear the doubts in his heart anymore, so he boldly asked what happened? What did Princess Lanling say in her urgent letter?
The queen lowered her eyes and glanced at the urgent letter, her face softened slightly, she raised her eyes to meet the suspicious eyes of the ministers, and slowly said:
"You have thought hard, but you can't think of a way to help me, Daliang, survive this crisis... I hope you can help me solve my worries!"
"..."
The prime ministers immediately looked at each other. Listening to the meaning of these words, could it be that...Princess Lanling found a way to resolve the crisis in Daliang?
Suddenly, Qian Zhongshu, a senior official in Zhongshu, looked grim.
The prime ministers of the six departments of Shangshu were overjoyed because they were all Li Youqing's people.
The Queen picked up the urgent letter again, stroked it happily, and then said: "The second officer of the Criminal and Prison Department, the Thousand-faced Fox, has secretly sneaked into the Liao Kingdom together with Gongyan Dashan of Weiwu County."
"They will stir up conflicts among the various tribes in the Liao Kingdom, turn the Liao Kingdom into a mess, and leave the Liao Kingdom with no time to take care of itself. In this way, they can buy me, Daliang, some time to breathe."
"The Thousand-faced Fox is not disrespecting the order to return to the capital, but has a more important mission." The Queen looked at Young Sikou and said:
"He is our hero in Daliang. His secret infiltration into the Liao Kingdom is very likely to save Daliang in danger! For such a loyal person, you, an old guy, actually want to put him in prison and torture him?"
"..."
Young Sikou finally understood and hurriedly bowed and said: "I don't dare, I dare not. Qian-faced Fox's move has contributed to the country. After he returns to the capital, I will definitely give him heavy praises, hahahaha..."
Shao Sikou's laughter echoed over the hall.
The prime ministers had different thoughts.
Just now they thought that Princess Lanling had figured out a way to secretly sneak into the Liao Kingdom, but now it seems otherwise. That person should be the Thousand-faced Fox!
After thinking about this, Qian Zhongshu slowly exhaled. If Princess Lanling made such a contribution, he and His Highness the Crown Prince would have an even harder time in the court.
He suddenly walked up to Shao Sikou, bent down and bowed:
"Congratulations to Young Si Kou. The second captain has made such a great contribution and has given me a chance to breathe. I am so envious of you. If there are such talents in Zhongshu Province, I am afraid I will wake up laughing even if I fall asleep."
The smiles of the six prime ministers of the Secretariat of Secretariat gradually faded. When they saw Qian Zhongshu complimenting Shao Sikou, they exchanged glances with each other and gathered around to say congratulations.
Liu Shizhong, a high-ranking official under his sect, is a neutral faction in the court. Although he usually criticizes the prison chief, the Thousand Faced Fox's performance was enough to make him put aside his prejudices, so he walked over and said with a smile:
"The Second Chief of the Criminal and Prison Department is a pillar of talent. If Shaosi Kou teaches such talents, they will surely leave their names in history..."
"..."
Young Sikou was already happy, his face was rosy, and the gray beard on his chin trembled with the laughter of his master. Under the unique official robe with gold thread embroidered on the collar, his old body was slowly growing taller.
He bowed in return and responded to the congratulations of his colleagues, chatting and laughing happily. He was completely different from the one who was so frightened that he had cold sweat on his forehead just now.
However, Shao Sikou only lasted for more than ten breaths. The Queen, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, suddenly said:
"Thousand-faced Fox and Duke Weiwu secretly sneaked into the Liao Kingdom, and naturally they contributed a lot, but the person who proposed such a strategy to stabilize the country was not Qian-faced Fox, nor Duke Weiwei."
"..."
Ga!
Stopped abruptly.
The main hall, which was noisy just now, fell silent in an instant.
The smile on Shao Sikou's old face suddenly froze, and the expressions of the prime ministers who gathered around to congratulate him all changed.
However, the prime ministers were so thick-skinned that they actually left Young Sikou behind and returned to his original position, as if the compliment just now had never happened.
No one felt embarrassed either.
Except for Shao Sikou, who kept twitching at the corner of his mouth...
The prime ministers no longer paid attention to Shao Sikou, but were thinking, who is the person who proposed such a strategy to stabilize the country, if not the Thousand Faced Fox?
Soon, everyone's expressions changed again, because they thought of one person - Princess Lanling!
Princess Lanling must have come up with this idea!
After understanding this, the prime ministers of the Six Departments of the Secretariat suddenly became excited. Princess Lanling was known as the "Female Prime Minister of the Great Liang Dynasty", but in fact she had a specific position——
Shangshu Ling.
The Shangshu Ling governs the six departments of Shangshu, namely the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry. Each of the ministers has been granted the title of "Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi", so they are all prime ministers of the dynasty.
At the same time, he is also Li Youqing's "horse boy".
Relatively speaking, Qian Zhongshu, a high-ranking official in Zhongshu, had only one prime minister, including his entire Zhongshu Province, which only had two prime ministers, which was far inferior to Li Youqing.
The Menxia Province, which has always remained neutral, only has two prime ministers, including Liu Shizhong.
The Internal Guard and the Prison Department generally did not interfere in the military and political affairs of the court. Therefore, in terms of the number of prime ministers, Li Youqing could be said to have overwhelming power and an absolute advantage in the court.
In addition, she knew how to please the Queen, and even dared to do things such as choosing a face for the Queen. Naturally, she was extremely favored by the Queen. Therefore, her position in the court was unshakable, and she was well-deservedly powerful.
Now that she has made such great achievements, it is strange that the prime ministers of the Six Departments of the Book of Secretariat are not excited... They act as if no one else is around and talk loudly, "bragging" about how smart and witty Princess Lanling is, and so on.
Shao Sikou looked embarrassed. He vaguely felt that there was still a turning point in the matter, so he chose to remain silent and wait for the changes.
Liu Shizhong had not forgotten what had just happened. Out of caution, he did not move and quietly watched the prime ministers from the Sixth Department of the Book of Secrets bragging.
Qian Zhongshu was the most uncomfortable, and his face was ashen. Princess Lanling was already favored, and now she has achieved such extraordinary achievements, which makes the Crown Prince... incompetent and cowardly!
After a while, the Queen suddenly said: "Young Niang has been smart since she was a child, and she has won my heart... But this strategy is not your idea, but..."
When she said this, her eyes stared at the two words on the letter, and her face moved slightly, because she remembered this person...
I didn’t expect that in just a short time, this person would achieve such great achievements!
The moment she paused, the expressions of the prime ministers had changed several times, especially the prime ministers of the Sixth Department of Shangshu. They were slightly embarrassed, and their faces felt as if they had been roasted by fire.
The Queen finally said slowly: "The person who proposed such a good plan to stabilize the country is the counselor in the young mother's house, and the person named 'Su Xian' is!"
"What! It's him!" Shao Sikou glared, with an obvious look of pity flashing through his eyes.
