"This new yamen is mainly used for ......" The empress said this, perhaps she felt that it was too complicated and tiring to say, so she looked sideways at Zhou Andao, "Xiao Anzi, you come and tell everyone present about your plan to catch and kill a batch." ”

"Yes!" Zhou An took the order, took a few steps forward, raised his head and said: "A few days ago, our family made a statement to the saint that if you want to break the current crisis, you have to be ruthless, the so-called arrest of a group, killing a group, refers to ......"

The people present were all cronies of the empress.

And it is the most important group of cronies of the empress, and it can be called the right-hand man, Zhou An also understands that there is nothing that cannot be said, and there is no need to hide it from anyone here, so it is very detailed.

After talking about the work of tea, Zhou An said about the establishment of a new yamen.

"Since I know that the implementation will not be effective, if I still act like this, I am afraid it will not work." Zhou An said, "So our family proposed to the Holy Lord to add a new yamen and give it the right to patrol and arrest, and the officials of this yamen are all served by the saint's cronies and guards, and ordered them to carry out the plan of arresting and killing a group, so that they can have no worries." ”

After Zhou An finished speaking, he looked at the empress.

"I have discussed this matter with Gong Kang and think it is feasible." The Empress glanced at the Dao, "What do you think?" The stakes are high, and the slightest carelessness can backfire, so if you have any opinions, please do not hesitate to bring them up. ”

Opinions or something, there will be no such thing.

The empress and Kang Longji have no opinion, and they will not have an opinion.

But there must be advice.

This is the reason why the empress summoned everyone, and she needs to discuss and plan carefully.

This can be called a closed-door meeting.

It lasted until noon, and many details of the matter were finalized, including the name of the new yamen, which had also been decided, and the name was provided by Zhou An, and it was set as - Zhenfu Division!

In view of the particularity of this yamen, and the fact that the officials of the yamen are all internal guards, and even if the empress sets up a new yamen, there must be a reason, which cannot be inexplicable, and so on.

Zhou An also provided a name for this Great Internal Forbidden Army Guard to be established first - Jinyi Guard!

"Then it's settled." The empress finally made a concluding remarks, "The officials of the Suppression Division will be drawn from the two armies of the Shence Army and the Tiance Army, a total of five hundred, General Gao, General Su, this matter will be handled by you, the sooner the better...... And General Yuan, you, will be the head of the new yamen, and you will be directly responsible to me......"

Zhou An wants to swear now.

It's true!

Because the situation was beyond his expectations, it could even be said that it was beyond his control.

The problem lies in the selection of the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

According to Zhou An's original intention, he made a statement to the empress, first build a brocade guard, and set up a subduing division yamen, and Zhou An was sure to let himself participate in the inspection and arrest of the Zhenfu Division, he was a close confidant of the empress and a close minister, so even if nominally, he was not the head of the Zhenfu Division's yamen, but in fact it could be.

This will pave the way for him to seek greater power in the future.

It is a taboo thing for eunuchs to interfere in politics, even if it is Kang Longji, he can only speak when he is in the court, and he participates in court politics, and his rights are usually limited to the inner court, even if he has the right to approve red, it is also on the basis of the minister's book, whether it is okay or not, that's all.

What's more, now, Kang Longji does not approve the red, and the criticism does not need to be written by Zhou An, a eunuch with a pen, let alone Kang Longji's second review and printing, everything is done by the Empress Shenzhao herself.

Of course, Kang Longji has particularities, so his actual power is greater than the rights conferred by his position!

But Zhou An is not special enough for him to Kang Longji.

Therefore, Zhou An has never told the empress what power he wants, especially the important right of inspection and arrest, which cannot be given indiscriminately, even Kang Longji has never touched this right, so Zhou An naturally cannot ask for it explicitly.

Therefore, he can only slowly figure it out, first set up a brocade guard, a calming division, and take his time.

What Zhou An thought before was that people were all drawn from the Shence Army and the Tiance Army, and it was impossible for Gao Hong and Su Chengguo to move, so the highest-ranking people who were transferred were their deputies, such as one of Gao Hong's right-hand men, Han Songlei of the Thousand Households of the Shence Army.

If Han Songlei came to serve as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Zhou An would not have any pressure and would press him steadily.

But, I never expected it.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard will be Yuan Shengshi, one of the eight emperors of the Great Inner Palace.

This is an existence whose status is by no means lower than that of Gao Hong.

……

After the closed-door meeting, the empress left everyone behind and had lunch with her.

After the meal, the generals left, and Zhou An also left, according to the habit of the empress, after her lunch, if she had nothing to do, she wanted to take a nap, Zhou An did not have to stay here all the time.

In the middle courtyard of Qianwu Palace, everyone was walking out.

Zhou An grabbed Gao Hong, and Gao Hong went to the end and asked questions.

"Lao Gao, that ...... General Yuan, what's the situation? I've heard of it, but I've never seen it, why did it suddenly pop up again? Zhou An asked in a low voice.

"He, he has been in retreat and cultivation all year round, let alone you, I rarely see him." Gao Hong said casually.

"Stay in retreat?" Zhou An asked.

"yes." Gao Hong explained, "Don't look at him as a first-class guard, a general who protects the country, in fact, he has never obtained an actual position of power, it's not that he doesn't trust him, but he doesn't like it, he has a very strange temper, obsessed with kendo, often retreats and penance, he is in the big inside, more like a master hidden in the dark, there is no big mess, and there is no need for him to appear." ”

"How many years has he been in the palace?" Zhou An asked again.

"It's been ten years."

"I heard that Grandpa Tai recruited him into the palace?"

"Yes, Duke Kang is kind to him, he was originally from the rivers and lakes, but he entered the imperial court, all because of Duke Kang, in the past ten years, although he has not held a real position in the interior, he has left the palace several times and entered the rivers and lakes to do things for the imperial court...... He knows the rivers and lakes better than we do. ”

"I see...... Zhou An nodded, he somewhat understood Yuan Shengshi's positioning.

To put it bluntly, he is a Jianghu man who has been successfully recruited by the imperial court as a "court eagle dog", obsessed with cultivation and has a strange personality, and his main role is to solve some tricky things in the rivers and lakes for the imperial court, or the royal family.

Therefore, it is usually difficult to see him, because he has either left the palace to run errands, or he is in retreat somewhere in the palace to practice.

Hearing Gao Hong say this, Zhou An was a lot more relieved.

Because he felt it, Yuan Shengshi was not greedy for power, but had a strange temper...... I don't know what kind of strange method it is.

"Old Gao, I've also heard that he is half a step into Tiangang, is it true?" Zhou An suddenly asked again.

"Hmm." Gao Hong nodded, and said: "When he first came, he was only perfect, and he reached the limit five years ago, which can be called a half-step Tiangang, he has always wanted to break through to the Tiangang realm, for this reason, the retreats in the past five years have become more and more frequent, and the last time he rushed through the level recently, just two days ago, it didn't work." ”

"yes, I see." Zhou An nodded.

Zhou An was talking to Gao Hong while walking, and suddenly heard someone calling behind him.

"Xiao Anzi, come here."

Zhou An immediately turned around, signaled to Gao Hong, and hurried over.

Under the eaves, it was Kang Longji who was calling Zhou An.

"Grandpa." Zhou An came close and said softly.

didn't seem too restrained, he had more contact with Kang Longji, and Zhou An knew that he was easy-going in private.

"Over here, let's go with us." Kang Longji signaled, and walked east along the corridor.

He's got something to say.

Zhou An immediately followed.

"Grandpa, the Holy One has already rested?" Zhou An spoke first.

"Well, take a nap, I guess I'll wake up in half an hour." Kanglongji Road.

It's quiet again.

The two walked through the corridor under the eaves, just past the corner, and there was no one else around, Kang Longji spoke: "Xiao Anzi, our family has entrusted someone to handle your young sister's matter, and eighty percent of it can be saved, you can rest assured." ”

Zhou An was stunned.

Then his face changed.

Kang Longji already knows about Zhou Ying?!
