Chapter 135: Taking the blame for the empress

Sin is punishable!

After Zhou An said this, the hall was quiet again.

After all, someone has to say this, although the person who said this is likely to take responsibility and take the blame for the empress in the future, but on the other hand, this matter is also a combination of danger and opportunity, depending on how things are done, whether they are done beautifully.

Moreover, Zhou An also had some speculation about the empress's thoughts at this moment, he knew very well that the empress and Prince Ning did not have any family affection at all, so it could even be said that he was a "stranger".

The empress didn't know what Prince Ning looked like, and she hadn't been in contact with it at all, because when the empress of Shendu ascended the throne, Prince Ning had already been exiled to Xining Prefecture, and at that time, the empress was only three or four years old, and she couldn't remember.

Therefore, for the empress, there is no inner emotional obstacle to killing Prince Ning, Prince Ning can be killed, and because he has colluded with Wu Xukuan, it can even be said that he must be killed!

It's just that this can't be said by the empress first, and it can't come from her!

"Punished? Why? The empress glanced at Zhou An and asked.

"Wu Xukuan's conspiracy to rebel, the world knows, Prince Ning and Wu Xukuan colluded, must participate in the rebellion, the so-called heaven and earth monarch teacher, heaven and earth are respected, the monarch is second, and the pro is again...... Although Prince Ning is the elder brother of the Holy Lord, he wants to participate in the rebellion and overthrow the monarch, and his crime should be punished! Zhou An said respectfully.

In fact, it's all nonsense.

Everyone understands the truth.

But this truth, can Zhou An say it to the empress, can he say it to everyone in the world?

What a terrible thing to say!

Women have been criticized a lot for being the emperor, but it took many years for the empress of Shendu to take care of the country in an orderly manner, and the civil and martial arts are high, so that the people's views on it were reversed.

The Empress of Shendu has killed her loved ones, but she killed her own wrong son, and Yan Mu killed her rebellious son, not only will there be no criticism in the world, but she will even applaud.

The rebel should be killed!

Besides, now the Empress Shenzhao, who has only been on the throne for more than half a year, and has caught up with the disaster year, she has not had time to make contributions, and the people do not know about her ability and virtue, in this period, if there are rumors in the world about the empress killing her brother, it will have an unimaginable blow to the empress's reputation.

It could even be devastating!

Once the stigma of "the Son of Heaven is immoral" is on his back, it is even enough to be used as a legitimate reason to overthrow the rule of the empress!

"But now...... There is no evidence of collusion between Prince Ning and Wu Xukuan, and he has not yet committed a conspiracy against him, if he is directly killed, I am afraid that he will be criticized by the people of the world......" The empress frowned.

"Holy Lord, the last general thinks that if it is possible, to pursue Prince Ning, he should be secretly escorted back to Xining Prefecture, or secretly imprisoned first, before it is the best policy!" Gao Hong took a step forward and said.

"The last general seconded it!" Su Chengguo took a step forward and said.

Zhou An glanced at them, then looked at the empress, and said: "Holy Lord, when you keep rejecting it, the slave thinks that if you chase Prince Ning, you should be executed on the spot to avoid future troubles." ”

Zhou An is also bold!

Gao Hong and Su Chengguo also glanced at Zhou An one after another, but they had no intention of-for-tat.

Because everyone wants to help the empress solve the problem.

And everyone present, including Yuan Shengshi, Kang Longji, and the empress, who did not speak, knew very well that Zhou An was able to say such radical words, not because he was really radical, but because he was ...... He is ready to take the blame for the empress in the event of an accident!

This pot is not so easy to carry, once there is a runaway situation, the person who carries the pot will die!

Otherwise, you can't block the mouths of the world.

Zhou An's loyalty can do this kind of thing, and it is enough to admire the five-body throw!

However, they didn't know what Zhou An was thinking in his heart.

Zhou An thought for a while before he spoke, saying that kind of radical words was not impulsive, in fact, Prince Ning's matter was not Zhou An's turn to deal with it, and Zhou An could only make suggestions to the empress.

But what Zhou An thought was that if possible, he wanted to take this matter on himself.

In this way, Zhou An had the opportunity to leave Beijing temporarily.

Since the day Zhou An proposed to establish the East Factory, Zhou An had the idea of leaving Qianjing City, so that Zhou An could personally lay out the world and make the East Factory become a behemoth that can monitor the world in a real sense.

The current Dongchang is only the Qianjing City that can be supervised, and the spies who were originally hidden in the local area of the secret guards, they have only now received a message from the Qianjing City, know about the restructuring of the secret guards, and know that their identities have changed, that's all.

Zhou An has not been able to form effective control over them.

If Zhou An does not go to the purge, the East Factory will never be able to become bigger, and Zhou An will not be able to control the place, and the so-called goal of power over the world will become a fool's dream.

Therefore, it was only a matter of time before Zhou An left Beijing.

He needs time and he needs opportunity.

……

This closed-door meeting lasted less than an hour, in fact, the matter was not complicated, and it was only how to deal with it that needed to be discussed, and finally the empress decided that she would give King Rongjun a secret decree to hunt down Prince Ning and capture Prince Ning alive.

This result was not unexpected by Zhou An.

After all, if you can be captured alive and secretly seized, this is the best outcome.

I'm afraid that King Rongjun will mess things up.

If King Rongjun didn't catch Prince Ning, but instead startled the snake, Prince Ning would inevitably enter Beijing in a more secretive way, once Prince Ning arrived, he was protected by Wu Xukuan, and then waited for Kang Longji to die, Wu Xukuan launched an armed rebellion is almost inevitable.

He didn't even need to wait for Kang Longji to die, because as long as Prince Ning arrived, it didn't seem to matter so much whether the empress could escape from Qianjing alive, as long as he launched a rebellion, he could directly support the new emperor.

Even if there is a situation of one country and two emperors in the end, because Prince Ning occupies the righteousness, and Wu Xukuan has a heavy army, the advantage is still on Wu Xukuan's side.

Of course, it may also be another result, that is, Prince Ning died, died in the pursuit arranged by King Rongjun, and died unexpectedly, which would cause great trouble to the empress!

Capturing alive is the best way, but it's also the most difficult!

Zhou An actually hopes that King Rong Jun can handle things well.

If it is not handled well, then he will take the initiative to ask for his life and go in person.

******

At noon, after the closed-door meeting, Zhou An left the palace in a hurry.

Normally, he had lunch at this time and was going to the Qianli Palace for alchemy, but because Prince Ning secretly entered Beijing, his original plan was disrupted, so he ...... He had to implement some of his plans ahead of schedule.

When Zhou An arrived at the Yamen of the East Factory, when he entered the door, he sent someone to inform the secret guard commander Xu Kaitai to come to the East Factory.

As soon as he sat down in the study, Zhou An thought about it, and then asked the small pavilion again: "When will the batch of medicinal materials that our family wants alone be delivered?" ”

"If you go back to the factory, it will take two or three days."

"Hmm......" Zhou An nodded, and was silent again.

It didn't take long to wait.

At the time of the incense, there was a knock on the door.

Knock knock.

"Enter." Zhou Andao.

Xu Kaitai pushed the door in, walked to the table and hugged his fists respectfully and said, "Factory father, you are looking for a humble position." ”

"Hmm...... There is something that you need to do for our family. ”

"You said."

"You go and bring a message for our family......

"To whom?"

"Your old teacher, the old handsome Li Guangshan." Zhou An looked at Xu Kaitai and said, "If you tell our family, you will say that our family is going to visit him secretly." ”

"This ......" Xu Kaitai looked up at Zhou An, and said very embarrassed, "You should know that the old man has been closed for more than ten years, and you ...... Let the lowly post pass the word, I'm afraid that I will be beaten out by the old handsome. ”

"You just go." Zhou An said, "In addition, you tell the old man for our family, and say that our family may heal his broken leg." ”

"What?!" Xu Kaitai's face changed drastically.
