And, of course, there are eight of them!

Eight people committed suicide in various ways, hanging, poisoning, banging their heads against walls, and jumping into wells...... But in Jia Linbo's mouth, it all turned into sudden death!

The eight important ministers died violently together on the same night, which is extremely ridiculous!

Everyone knows what's going on.

But everyone pretended not to know.

Jia Linbo said so.

That's what the empress listened to.

is maintaining this lie together, and if it is a five-year-old child, he will not believe it, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the emperor seem to believe it! In fact, from the perspective of a unilateral and suicidal minister, it is a good thing for the empress to do this.

Not being tracked down is what they want.

As for whether the empress will punish Zhou An for this, it is another matter.

Jia Linbo finished speaking.

The Empress did not say anything about this, so no one knows her attitude.

"If you have something to do, you have no capital to retreat!" Zhou An preached again at the right time.

"Holy Lord, the old minister has a book!" Li Guangshan was listed.

Li Guangshan said that it was the training of new soldiers, he began to "fight" with Yuan Wenxun, the head of the household department, yesterday because of money, today because of horses, Li Guangshan wants to use money to buy horses, and Yuan Wenxun wants to slow down, and when he subdues the land of Yunyue, he will go to the southwest countries to buy horses, and the horses in Dayue Kingdom are much cheaper.

Li Guangshan couldn't wait, and he didn't know when to wait for Yunyue to subdue.

Yuan Wenxun said that the matter of buying a horse would have taken several months, and now he could send someone to contact Dayue Guo first, and only wait for the imperial court to open up a trade route, and then he could transport the horse into the country.

They are all old ministers, and Yuan Wenxun is really tough enough, and he is not afraid of Li Guangshan at all.

According to Yuan Wenxun's calculations, if he could wait one or two more months to purchase Dayue horses, this would save at least one million taels of silver for the imperial court.

The strange atmosphere in the court hall was diluted a lot by the quarrel between the two.

The morning of March 18 lasted for nearly two hours.

Now that there is such chaos today, it is natural that there are many things, because there are wars in many places, the imperial court is burning money, and many problems are in money, Yuan Wenxun is a "miser", and it is not only Li Guangshan who quarrels with him, which delays a lot of time.

It was close to noon.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu once again came out and played a very important thing to the empress...... In one month, it will be the empress's "eighteen-year-old" birthday, and it is time to prepare.

Eighteen years old is not an important age, for the emperor, sixteen years old, thirty years old, and fifty, sixty, seventy, etc., are extremely important years, and those years of life must be prepared months or even a year in advance.

At the age of eighteen, it is customary to prepare one month in advance.

"The country is in danger, and the people are in fire and water, how can I be extravagant? Let's keep it simple. The empress said to the Ministry of Rites.

It's all simple!

In fact, this is not a matter of money, the empress's small treasury is very rich, without the money from the treasury, there will be no criticism, the empress just doesn't have that heart.

The Ministry of Rites retreated.

"If you have something to do, you have no capital to retreat!" Zhou An preached again.

This.

It's okay.

In fact, it's not really okay, but a lot of things don't know if you take them to the morning court to discuss, just hand them over.

There was no movement below, and all the civil and military generals were waiting to retreat.

"Announce it!" The Empress spoke suddenly.

Liao Fu, who had not spoken in the entire early dynasty, took a step forward, pulled out a scroll of holy decrees from his cuffs, and preached sideways: "Zhou An takes the decree!" ”

"The minion takes orders." Zhou An knelt down.

He is exempt from kneeling, and he is wearing a dragon robe, but this is a holy decree, he has to kneel, and he knows the content of the holy decree, that is, he wrote it by his own hand, and in terms of the importance of the content of the holy decree, he also has to kneel.

All the courtiers raised their heads, looked at the empress, and then at Zhou An.

Which one is this singing?

Many people's hearts were raised, this morning, the empress's mood was very stable, how could she be silent...... Is it a degradement? Or is it a reward?

It shouldn't be a bounty, right? Because yesterday the ministers asked for a reward for Zhou An, Zhou An himself retreated, saying that Yunyue's matter was not over.

Now Yunyue's affairs are not over yet.

"I have heard of virtue and appreciation. The eunuch Zhou An, the eunuch of the inner court, the chief eunuch of the inner court, Su Wei Zhongzheng, Xuande Ming'en, the heart of the society, bear my worries, travel back thousands of miles, punish the ministers, and I am very relieved. The way of the ancestors of Zhenjia, open the way of the widening of the door, and recruit people from all over the world. Those who cover the ancients are virtuous and orderly, and the amount of energy is awarded to the official, and the one who works is generous, and the one who is virtuous is honored. Therefore, martial arts are valued for their strength, and virtue is praised for their deeds. Although An is a eunuch, he is talented and virtuous, and his achievements are high, and he is very praised. Today, Jin named him a first-class noble prince, awarded a gold seal purple ribbon, and allowed him to enter the court to discuss politics. Liao Fu pinched his tone, and after reading it in one breath, the whole person was stunned.

This was given to him by the empress, and he didn't peek at it.

He didn't know the content before.

Of course, he also guessed that the empress might want to reward Zhou An.

But, why not?!!

Liao Fu's voice fell, and everyone was shocked!

All stunned!

Unprecedented impact!

Zhou An was the Marquis of Wanhu before, according to the past examples, if the Marquis of Wanhu goes further, he will directly skip the position of duke and go straight to the king, that is to say, even if Zhou An takes great credit, he can only be crowned the king of the county.

Not the Prince.

It can't be a first-class noble prince!

But the empress just sealed it like this, and she was directly crowned a first-class prince!

What's even more terrifying is that Zhou An is a eunuch, and the king is not in accordance with the rules, and the empress even allowed him to enter the court to discuss politics! This is not only without precedent in this dynasty, but also in previous dynasties, all dynasties, there is no precedent!

"Holy Lord, don't ......" An old minister shouted directly.

"Thank you for your grace, long live my emperor!! Zhou An covered all the voices with a louder voice.

Thank you!

The courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty, including Li Guangshan and Jia Linbo, all looked frightened, and at this moment, they were no different from others, they all felt that the empress was crazy! It's really crazy!

How can it be?!

Why did the empress make such a decision? Such a reward? Even if it is a hero who opened up territory and expanded the territory for Dongqian, it is impossible to get such a reward, Li Guangshan led his troops to fight to the death with Beirong and conquered half of the country for Dongqian, what happened?

Although Zhou An's first-class noble prince is not hereditary, he is a eunuch and will not have descendants, so it doesn't matter whether there is a hereditary succession, the important thing is ...... He's only seventeen! He's too young! And his rights are about to surpass the ownership of the eunuchs in the history of Dongqian because of the canonization of the empress!

If he disturbs the country, the kingdom will be in chaos!

As long as he is given a little time, he can even set up the empress!

No one doubted Zhou An's ability.

Is the empress really crazy and out of heart?!

Zhou An got up and took the holy decree, he ignored the civil and military gaze of the Manchu Dynasty, and there was only the holy decree in his eyes.

None of them understood.

And Zhou An understood.

This decree does not represent a title or power.

It was the empress's heart.

The Empress has decided!

Zhou An knew that he was stable!
