Chapter four hundred and ninety fourth
The empress didn't ask anything, and she got up directly.
"Retreat the court!!!" Zhou An followed by a sharp voice.
"Master, no!"
"Master! Please take back your life!"
"The Lord thinks twice!"
Several old ministers went crazy and stepped forward and shouted at the empress a few steps, even staggering to kneel on the ground, clamoring.
The empress pretended that she didn't hear it, walked off the platform from the left and wanted to leave through the side door.
Zhou An followed the empress down the steps, suddenly stopped and looked back at the old ministers, shouting: "Don't be presumptuous!"
The old ministers suddenly disappeared and the atmosphere suddenly solidified.
Zhou An glanced at them, then glanced at all the court officials, and a smile of unknown significance appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was very cunning... Zhou An smiled at Wu Xukuan at the beginning, but now Wu Xukuan's body is already cold.
"Hmph!" Zhou An snorted coldly again, shook his sleeves and followed the empress.
Both Li Guangshan and Jia Linbo had expressed any opinions on this, and they looked at each other without saying anything.
Because of their identity, the two cannot express their opinions easily.
The head of a civil servant.
The head of a general.
Anything said by both of them will represent the will of the group. Both of them are extremely mature "politicians". They both understand that even if they oppose, they cannot let the empress fail to come to Taiwan in the morning court.
If the two of them express their opinions, all the civil and military officials of the court will follow suit and will be irreversible at that time.
It will be of no benefit to anyone if it really makes the empress anxious.
It was not until Zhou An left Fengtian Hall with the empress, that an uproar sounded again in the quiet hall, and it was like a stir.
"How can this be? How can this be?!" An old minister stomped his feet and shouted with pain.
"Ge Master, you say something, you say something!"
"Old coach, why don't you stop the emperor?"
The hall was in chaos and lasted for a long time.
...
On the way back to the inner court, Zhou An followed the dragon chariot in a small step.
The empress in the dragon chariot did not say a word from beginning to end, and the curtain was undulating with the wind. Zhou An could see the empress's face. He could see that the empress was very uneasy.
This is naturally uneasy.
In fact, the empress now doesn’t know whether it is right or wrong to take this step. What will this step bring to this dynasty that has been passed down for more than 300 years?
She doesn't know.
Zhou An did not disturb the empress.
In the morning, the empress was still angry with Zhou An and refused to let Zhou An eat. Then she asked Zhou An to draft an order and promoted him to the first-class noble prince. The woman's heart was under the sea. The empress now can be said to be moody.
Although the "big situation has been decided" and there are not many variables, the closer it is to "turn over", the more cautious Zhou An is.
Silent all the way.
All the way back to Qianyuan Palace.
After the empress entered the hall, she shut down the others, and only Zhou An followed the empress into the hall.
"Xiao Anzi, are you satisfied?" The empress finally spoke, turned around and sat on the dragon throne, looking very tired.
"The emperor is kind to you, and the servant will never forget you. The servant will do his best to assist the emperor, eliminate the unjust officials in the world, and return the peaceful and prosperous era to a bright world!" Zhou An said with a bow, still flattering and showing his loyalty as usual.
"Oh." The empress responded very casually.
Her eyes were a little dazed, and she didn't say anything for a while before she looked at Zhou An again.
"Xiao Anzi."
"The slave is here."
"Are you now a noble prince, and you still call yourself a slave?" The empress looked at Zhou An and asked.
Zhou An was stunned.
well?
yes!
A slave is an eunuch, an eunuch, and he calls himself a slave of the royal family. However, Zhou An has been appointed as a king, and is the highest-ranking noble prince, and can enter the court to discuss politics... Although he is still the chief supervisor of the great inner court, he also has the status of a minister.
Dual identity.
It is not wrong to call himself a slave, but it is wrong to reach the level of a prince and call himself a slave as a first-class prince.
"I, thank you Master." Zhou An praised him.
He suddenly realized the necessity of surrender!
Because of his identity as a slave, the plane is too "lowly" and he is not worthy of the empress!
The empress has done a good job!
"Xiao Anzi..." The empress spoke again, and then stopped. She seemed to feel that she had to change her words, and Xiao Anzi called her slaves.
"Master, I will always be your little Anzi. You just call me, be kind." Zhou An said hurriedly, so as not to worry about the empress being entangled there.
"Well..." The empress responded with a nasal voice and said, "Xiao Anzi, I rewarded you before, and you have seen the reactions of all the old ministers. I think they will not give up. I rewarded you, I don't want to be forced to death by them. This matter... you have to do it for me! There can be no more chaos in the court."
Zhou An understood the meaning of the empress.
The empress has done everything she should do, and the rest is left to Zhou An. She must be made clear and there must be no trouble.
"Don't worry, Master, I have already made a countermeasure." Zhou An said respectfully.
"Oh?" The empress was quite surprised. She didn't expect Zhou An to be so confident. "What are the countermeasures?"
"This matter, just..."
Before Zhou An finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the gate.
Squeak!
The door opened, and the general manager of Qianwu Palace, Eunuch Zhang, bowed outside the door and said, "Sir, Jia Linbo, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Li Guangshan, the Grand Marshal of the Zhongzhou Army, asked for a visit."
The empress frowned and didn't speak immediately, she knew that trouble was coming.
The most troublesome thing is that they are the chief minister of the cabinet who has been an official for decades and has been a disciple all over the world, and the Grand Marshal who has made great achievements in history and is hailed as the God of War.
Both of them are "not easy to mess with".
At this critical moment, the two of them came together, naturally to persuade the empress to take back her life.
Unless he has a very good personal relationship with Zhou An or even no one can ask about right and wrong, even Li Guangshan will not stand on Zhou An's side in this matter.
Not to mention whether Zhou An would chaotic the country.
However, once this example is opened, this will be a great deal of trouble, which is enough for the two old ministers to persuade the empress.
So what about Kanglongi? He just became the Duke after his death, or at the same time, he was the Marquis at the highest.
What's more, Zhou An's contribution is not that great, the difference is too far.
"The countermeasure is here." Zhou An said.
The empress glanced at Zhou An, not sure why.
"Master, Mr. Rong will go and talk to the two old masters first." Zhou An said with a bow.
The empress didn't know what Zhou An was thinking, and didn't ask in detail. She didn't have time and was waiting outside. She nodded.
Zhou An hurried out.
...
Outside Qianyuan Hall, Li Guangshan and Jia Linbo stood side by side at the steps. Jia Linmei frowned, while Li Guangshan looked solemn, and neither of them spoke.
Obviously, I have communicated on the way here, so there is no need to say anything more.
The door of the hall was half open and suddenly opened... Zhou An strides out, hurriedly walks down the steps, and bows to the two old men: "Old coach, Master Ge!"
"I've met General Manager Zhou."
"Master General."
Chapter completed!
