After Shao Zhiqiu sat down, he turned around and sent a message to Qi Wu.

"But what's going on?"

At this time, Prince Lian had already stood up with Qi Wu's support.

Therefore, Shao Zhiqiu didn't know what happened in the court before.

Although Gong Qu and the others didn't want to believe that what Prince Lian said was true, Prince Lian dared to swear by the power of the royal family so strongly, but everyone had to believe it.

Qi Wu looked at Shao Zhiqiu and said gently.

"Today is the day when the imperial court rewards the meritorious deeds of the heroes who have expanded the territory."

When Shao Zhiqiu heard this, she had vaguely guessed something.

Qi Wu had hinted earlier that he wanted the world to know her merits, not criticize.

But Shao Zhiqiu didn't care much about this.

What other people think doesn't really matter to her.

"Your Majesty, since it is the day of the reward for meritorious deeds, the concubine is indeed not coming, if there is nothing to do, the concubine wants to retire first."

If these things are revealed to the world today, it will be difficult to control how much turmoil it will set off in the court.

And she and Qi Wu have so much to do now, there is really no need to increase the right and wrong at this time.

But Qi Wu was unwilling.

It's just that before he could speak first, Gong Qu couldn't help it.

"The minister has something unclear, and I want to ask the queen."

Shao Zhiqiu was stunned, is this not giving her a chance to retreat? But what do they want to do, just these people in the court, but there is one person who wants to see the truth?

Especially Gong Qu, is he really willing to know the final truth?

So you have to fight today?

Ay.

Shao Zhiqiu sighed secretly.

"Lord Gong, please speak."

"Ask the queen mother, how did the war between the Jin Kingdom and the Xiongnu break out?"

Shao Zhiqiu turned to look at Qi Wu, who looked at her with some pride and said.

"Just ask Ah Zhi to tell the truth."

Shao Zhiqiu was really helpless.

"Hey. Why do you have to ask? ”

"Please ask the mother to solve the doubts for the lower officials!"

"Please ask the mother to solve the doubts for the lower officials!"

Following Gong Qu's words, many court officials followed closely and asked.

"This palace can answer your questions," Shao Zhiqiu paused and continued, "But before answering your questions, I have one more question for you, as long as you give me an answer, I can also give you the answers you want." ”

"Please!"

"Dare to ask all the ministers, if this palace answers all your questions today, but in the end it leads to doubling the difficulty of the battle against Xiliang in the future, are you willing to bear this responsibility?"

Shao Zhiqiu's words made the officials stunned.

Why did you talk about Jin Wei well, and suddenly turned to Xiliang?

"I don't know what Niangniang means by this? Does Niangniang still want to attack Xiliang? ”

"This palace and His Majesty are not only going to attack Xiliang. It is also necessary to unify the Shenzhou Continent. Otherwise, why do you think we want to make a move against Jin Wei? ”

Shao Zhiqiu's words immediately caused an uproar among the officials.

"Niangniang's words are too big!" Immediately, some officials were dissatisfied with Shao Zhiqiu's wild words.

Shao Zhiqiu looked at the adult.

"Whether it's a big tone or not, it depends on the strength."

"So what Niangniang means is that what Prince Lian said is true?"

Shao Zhiqiu frowned, how could there be any matter of Prince Lian here?

"I don't know what Uncle Wang said, but if you have any questions, you can ask me, but as long as you ask next, this palace will treat you as if you have given an answer to the question just now, and you are willing to bear any consequences and responsibilities arising from this."

Gong Qu frowned.

He didn't like Shao Zhiqiu's answer, it didn't seem like a question, it was more like shirking responsibility.

Because as long as they open their mouths, if they really attack Xiliang in the future, as long as they lose, they can be blamed on these civil officials.

"As long as what the mother says is reasonable, the old man is willing to take this responsibility."

"Master Gong!"

"Sir!"

"Pavilion Elder !"

For a while, there were voices of dissuasion, everyone felt so, such a big responsibility, and it was just an excuse for the queen mother to gag their mouths and prevent them from questioning.

"Good! This palace appreciates the integrity of the boss, since there are doubts, it is best to make it clear, so as not to spoil the relationship between you and Your Majesty for the sake of this palace. Excuse me, sir. ”

"The first question of this official is, may I ask the queen mother, you answered the question of the hundred officials, how can you make it more difficult to attack Xiliang."

Shao Zhiqiu took a deep breath, "The reason is very simple, because if you delve into the matter of the destruction of the country by the Jin and Wei dynasties, it will definitely involve the fact that you have left the country and returned to my Great Zhou!" Because he had already returned to my Great Zhou, he was willing to act with Da Zhou, and deceived the hesitant Emperor Wei who was determined to attack Jin. ”

After Shao Zhiqiu's words were finished, the court, which was still whispering, suddenly quieted down, so quiet that everyone could hear it.

Her words were so shocking.

But when everyone began to recall, they found that over the years, although the imperial court was leaving the country with troops, except for some small victories and defeats at the beginning, no one paid attention to the war on the border of Zhouli for a long time.

This, when is the battle over?

"In fact, just before leaving the country to start a war against the Great Zhou, leaving the country had already surrendered to the Great Zhou, otherwise do you think that leaving the country is crazy to attack the Great Zhou?"

Shao Zhiqiu's voice was not gentle.

I saw her say sharply.

"The news that he has left the country and returned to the Great Zhou, do you think that if Xiliang knows, will it increase the difficulty of attacking Xiliang? Do you think when is the best time to play the role of leaving the country? Lord Gong, please tell this palace! ”

Gong Qu's mouth was a little bitter, he had been the first assistant for a few years, and even Emperor Tai'an was polite to him on weekdays, but now, the words of the queen mother were like a sharp sword, which was fiercely inserted into his heart.

He has been flaunting all his life, flaunting that he is dedicated to the country and doing his best.

But now, because of his own questioning, the Great Zhou Dynasty has lost an excellent help to open up the territory.

No one is stupid.

Everyone understands that leaving the country is a great help for the strategy of the Great Zhou in unifying the world, just imagine, the Great Zhou and Xiliang went to war, in order to increase their chances of victory, will Xiliang consider joining forces with the Great Zhou to leave the country?

Isn't it self-evident what kind of effect the departure will have when the time comes?

But now, now, who dares to say that after the queen mother said these words in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, these words could not be transmitted to Xiliang?

Can you guarantee yourself, can you guarantee others?

Gong Qu was unwilling and did not give up.

He didn't know whether he should hope that what Shao Zhiqiu said was true or not.

As a courtier of the Great Zhou, he could only hope that what Shao Zhiqiu said was true.

But he still struggled to ask.

"I don't know what the queen said, but there is evidence."
