Chapter 82 Introduction
"I think that Wu Xukuan's power is not his own ability. Although he has the power to mobilize the troops, he does not directly command the troops. The military power he holds now is not enough to directly overthrow the Donggan Kingdom. He needs to support him from multiple sources. Therefore, what Wu Xukuan represents is not him alone, but a group of people. Everything is due to interests. Whether it is the commander of each guard, or the censor, the secretary, or the cabinet minister, they all join him for various interests, and want to steal the country together."
Zhou An actually said a piece of nonsense.
Everyone knows the situation.
However, the empress did not interrupt Zhou An and listened to Zhou An continue.
"With the current master's power in hand, he will directly eliminate Wu Xukuan. I am afraid that he will be too willing but not enough. If he forcibly launches, it may backfire and force Wu Xukuan to raise troops to rebel directly. However, if he only acts against the people under Wu Xukuan, arrests a group of people and kills a group of people, gradually weakens Wu Xukuan's forces, and arouses their mutual suspicion and internal fighting, it is not impossible."
"Who to catch? Who to kill? How to catch?" the empress spoke.
Zhou An talked about the simplest and most difficult decision, and at this time, the empress was telling the difficulties.
"If you arrest some people with low official titles, Wu Xukuan would not care, and it would not be of great use. But if you arrest important officials, Wu Xukuan's reaction would probably be very fierce. If it is too much, it will lead him to rebel directly."
"And, at this time, those people in the court either had already voted for Wu Xukuan or were afraid of him. Wu Xukuan's eyes were spread all over the yamen in the capital. If there was any disturbance, Wu Xukuan would know immediately. As soon as my imperial edict came out of the inner court, Wu Xukuan could know the details. How could this person be arrested? Who would be willing to arrest Wu Xukuan for me?"
"Besides, arresting people requires reasons, and evidence of their evil deeds is needed. Where should this evidence be obtained? As long as the news is leaked slightly, even if there was evidence, Wu Xukuan could send someone to destroy the evidence immediately, or even cause a bloody case, and there is no evidence to die."
The empress is very clear about her current situation.
Although she is still the emperor now, she will dismiss whoever she says will dismiss whoever she says will arrest him... But all this is theoretically fine. Once it is actually implemented, there will be big problems.
First of all, there is a problem of how to ensure that Wu Xukuan's bottom limit will not be encountered, Wu Xukuan's bottom limit... For example, directly arresting the Minister of Revenue, this is directly arresting Wu Xukuan's right-hand man. Wu Xukuan will definitely be blown up and will rebel immediately.
Therefore, important officials cannot move easily.
It doesn’t make sense to catch those who are too low. You can only catch those who are not too high but not too low, and have some real power.
But the resistance is too huge.
Wu Xukuan's eyeliner is everywhere. The empress issued an order to arrest people. The person responsible for arresting people may be Wu Xukuan's person, and the person responsible for interrogation is also the case. Moreover, arresting people requires evidence. If there is no evidence, the empress arrests people by randomly, which is equivalent to placing a basin on her head and wearing the tyrant hat directly. This is equivalent to giving Wu Xukuan the excuse to force the palace again.
There are not many clean people under Wu Xukuan, and there is almost no possibility of catching the wrong person. However, if people are arrested directly without actual evidence, in terms of the current situation, it will cause a series of catastrophic consequences.
Catching and killing people is easy to say, but in practice, there are really obstacles everywhere.
