Zhou An didn't want the empress to touch the box, after all, it was loaded with a human head, and it was very unlucky.

The empress didn't listen to Zhou An, held up the box with both hands, and stared at King Yunsu's head. Because of the seal, King Yunsu's head is very well preserved, and his appearance has also been taken care of, and he can't see anything blurry or disgusting.

Unless the head is taken out and seen.

But the Empress wouldn't do that.

She just wants to take a good look.

The King of Yunsu is not the strongest of the six vassal kings, but on the whole, the threat is the greatest, the Yunyue Domain Kingdom has maintained good relations with the southwestern countries, and has made a lot of money because of the opening of trade routes.

With the financial resources of Yunyue Kingdom, once war is declared with the imperial court, the entire southwest land will be plunged into war, and the imperial court will not be able to quickly solve the king of Yunsu, and may even make Yunyue Kingdom completely independent.

This point, in recent times, the old handsome Li Guangshan has analyzed it many times and clarified it to the empress.

If King Yunsu goes all out to fight with the imperial court, he uses the family wealth accumulated by Yunyue for generations to forcibly recruit hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the southwest, and it is not a problem to maintain it for a year.

He can also receive troops from the southwestern countries, although it may be "luring the wolf into the house", but he can definitely borrow it.

When the empress of Shendu first ascended the throne, she had the idea of cutting the domain, and she wanted to move the king of the foreign domain, but at that time, her throne was unstable, and she didn't dare to act at all.

And in the generation of Empress Shenzhao, the imperial court was no longer able to cut the domain.

Now it's time to go.

Although the Yunyue Kingdom is still there, the death of King Yunsu almost means that the Yunyue Kingdom is ruined! According to the previous information of the imperial court, none of the sons of King Yunsu were worry-free.

Because King Yunsu is in very good health, it is not a problem to live another one or two decades, so he has never established a son who can succeed to the title of prince.

Now he died suddenly.

Eighty percent of Yunyue Kingdom is going to be in civil strife.

"Holy Lord, the slave has ordered the Holy Mother of the Pure Land to contact the third son who King Yunsu does not value, pretend to support, and stir up civil strife......" Zhou An saw the empress staring at the head, and spoke again.

The empress raised her gaze and looked at Zhou An's face.

"Xiao Anzi, well done!" The empress praised, but in a relatively gentle and majestic tone, she returned the box to Zhou An.

Zhou An immediately put down the box baffle.

"How's the duel with the gunslinger?" The empress said as she turned around.

"Qiao Zhong is dead." Zhou An replied.

"Oh? Have you ever revealed your identity? ”

"The minions are not hidden."

"Tell me more...... Let's talk about what you've done for most of the month. The Empress turned around and sat down on the edge of the dragon's bed.

Zhou An began to report.

In fact, this is not the point at all, if it weren't for the empress asking, Zhou An wouldn't have bothered to speak.

The empress also knows that this is not the point, after all, the result is important, and the result is that Zhou An is back, the process or something, it is not a big problem whether to listen or not.

Zhou An briefly explained the situation in the past half a month.

The empress looked at Zhou An and did not intervene.

She gradually lost her mind, as if she hadn't heard what Zhou An was saying, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Because there are so many things, Zhou An didn't say it in detail, so he talked about it roughly, so it was just a stick of incense, and Zhou An said almost that.

"By the way, the saint, the minions challenged the Jianghu Grandmaster one after another on the top of the mountain, and had an epiphany, and the realm of internal cultivation has entered Tiangang!" Zhou An finally said.

He had already mentioned before that he led his troops up the mountain.

"Oh?" Some of the distracted empresses were in good spirits for a while, blinked at Zhou An, and said slowly: "Okay!" ”

Just a "good" word.

I don't know where her mind flew.

"It's late at night, you've been tired all the way, go back and rest first......" The empress eased her mind again and said to Zhou An.

"Holy Lord, the slave still has one more thing to do......" Zhou An didn't leave.

"What?" The empress immediately asked rhetorically, her face a little wrong.

There is one thing...... The most important thing, the empress has not mentioned it, and Zhou An has not mentioned it either, and now Zhou An still has something, and the empress is very worried...... Because she hasn't thought about it yet, she's still conflicting.

"Before the slave returned to the palace, he first settled in the Dongchang Yamen, and recently some things in the court, the slave also listened to the small pavilion ......"

Zhou An felt that he had to express his position first.

This must be clarified.

“…… Shengshang, since the establishment of the East Factory, can be said to have repeatedly made miraculous achievements, since the beginning of the suppression of the traitorous party, to the timely transmission of rebel intelligence in many places, the East Factory has played a huge role, such as today, chaos is everywhere, if the East Factory is withdrawn, it is tantamount to cutting off the arm......"

"Moreover, all the old ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have returned, they all have their own connections, and they have gradually become factions, if there is no check and balance, the matter of party strife, I am afraid that it is unavoidable, and you will also be pressured by them and submit to it......"

Zhou An really dares to say anything.

All the ministers are black!

It's almost clear that a group of old ministers may have set up the empress.

In fact, it is a bit alarmist.

Because those old guys can't live for a few years, and Li Guangshan is still there.

"The slave does not deny that Dongchang does have some shortcomings due to excessive power, but now it is in turmoil, and serious illness needs fierce medicine......

"They thought you were dead, so they dared to mention Dongchang." The empress directly interrupted Zhou An's words and made Zhou An speechless.

If this is said to the other eunuchs, I am afraid that except for Kang Longji, everyone else will have to kneel on the ground in fear.

Because the subtext of this is really too penetrating.

Zhou Anquan leaned towards the opposition.

He is alive and no one dares to fart.

He died, and all the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods jumped out.

The empress also made her words clear, this is ......

Zhou An was silent for a moment, clenched his fists and arched his hands: "The slave retires!" ”

He took a few steps back with his baggage, then turned and strode away.

Zhou An knew that the empress had not yet decided, because she was thinking about that matter, and other things were not important.

Because how this thing is decided, it can affect everything else!

Change everything!

After Zhou An left, the lights in the dormitory were quickly turned off.

But the empress didn't sleep, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, until the second half of the night, the empress asked Kou Dong'er a creepy question before going to bed.

"Dong'er, what do you think of Xiao Anzi...... Can you steal the country? ”

"Slave, slave doesn't know." Kou Dong'er didn't dare to answer.

******

Zhou An returned to the Qianli Palace, this night, he also tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, there were too many things in his heart!

Following.

March 17.

When the first light of the morning sprinkled on the earth, Zhou An got up, washed up, changed into a dragon robe, and then went to Qianwu Palace.

Came a little earlier, but the empress also arrived.

A large group of eunuchs and palace maids are serving food, and the empress is going to have breakfast, and after breakfast, she is going to the court.

"Boss."

"Boss."

The empress, who was sitting on the side of the long table, heard the greeting outside the door, and then saw Zhou An enter the main hall.

"Sit down." The empress didn't talk nonsense, and raised her hand to signal to Zhou An.

Zhou An sat opposite the empress.

Soon, the dishes were ready, and the two had breakfast together.

It was quiet.

There is almost no communication.

Zhou An was waiting for the empress to speak first, but the empress never said.

"Holy." Zhou An took the initiative to speak.

"Huh?" The empress held a small soup bowl, responded to a nasal voice, and did not look at Zhou An.

"Can the minion not go to court with you today?" Zhou Andao.

"Why? If you are tired, you can rest for a few days. The empress said.

"The slave is not tired, it's just ......" Zhou An dragged a long voice, and then said, "The slave wants to hear what the Manchu civil and military think about the slave!" If they had seen the minions first, they would not have heard them. ”

The empress's hand drinking the soup paused.

Of course she could hear what Zhou An meant! She even thought that if Zhou An didn't retaliate, then he wouldn't be Zhou An!

He really dared to mention it!

The empress raised her head and looked at Zhou An with burning eyes.

She wanted to see what Zhou An was going to do!

This will affect her decision.

"Accurate!" Empress Dao.
