Chapter 494: Ministers

The empress didn't ask anything more, didn't say anything more, and got up directly.

"Retreat from the !!" Zhou An followed the screaming sermon.

"Holy must not!"

"Holy! Please also ask the Holy One to take back his ordination! ”

"Think twice!"

Several old ministers went crazy directly, took a few steps forward and shouted at the empress, and even staggered to their knees and shouted.

The empress didn't hear it, and walked down the high platform from the left side, to leave through the side door.

Zhou An followed the empress down the steps, suddenly stopped and looked back at the old ministers, and shouted: "Hugh is presumptuous!" ”

The old ministers suddenly stopped moving, and the atmosphere suddenly froze.

Zhou An glanced at them, and then at all the courtiers, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up a smile of unknown meaning, which was very penetrating...... Zhou An smiled at Wu Xukuan at the beginning, but now Wu Xukuan's body is already cold.

"Humph!" Zhou An snorted coldly again, threw up his sleeves and left, and followed the empress.

Li Guangshan and Jia Linbo both expressed any opinions on this, and the two glanced at each other, still without any words.

Because of their identities, the two can't easily express their position.

The head of a civil official.

The head of a military general.

Whatever the two say will represent the will of the group, and both of them are extremely mature "politicians", and they both understand that even if they oppose it, they can't make the empress unable to come down in the early dynasty.

If the two of them make a statement, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will follow suit, and it will be irretrievable at that time.

It's really forcing the empress to be anxious, and it's not good for anyone.

It wasn't until Zhou An left the Fengtian Hall with the empress that there was an uproar in the silent hall again, and it was like a frying pot.

"How so? How so?! An old minister stomped his feet and shouted in pain.

"Elder Ge, if you say something, you say something!"

"Old Shuai, why don't you stop the Holy Lord?"

There was chaos in the hall, which lasted for a long time.

……

On the way back to the inner court, Zhou An followed Long Yuan in small steps.

The empress in the dragon chariot did not say a word from beginning to end, the curtain rose and fell with the wind, Zhou An could see the empress's face, and he could see that the empress was very uneasy.

Naturally, this is not calm.

In fact, now the empress doesn't know whether it is right or wrong for her to take this step, and what will this step bring to this dynasty that has been inherited for more than 300 years?

She didn't know.

Zhou An didn't bother the empress.

In the morning, the empress was still angry with Zhou An, and did not let Zhou An eat, and then asked Zhou An to draw up a decree and make him a first-class noble prince.

Although "the overall situation has been decided" and there are not many variables, the closer he is to "turning over", the more cautious Zhou An becomes.

Speechless all the way.

All the way back to the Qianyuan Palace.

After the empress entered the palace, she withdrew from the others, and only Zhou An followed the empress into the palace together.

"Xiao Anzi, are you satisfied?" The empress finally spoke, and sat down on the dragon chair, looking very tired.

"The saint is long, the slave is unforgettable, the slave must do his best to assist the saint, clear the world and the ministers, and return Dongqian to a peaceful and prosperous world, Lang Lang Qian!" Zhou An bowed down, still patting his usual ass to show loyalty.

"Oh." The empress responded very blandly.

Her eyes were a little distracted, and she didn't speak for a while before she looked at Zhou An again.

"Xiao Anzi."

"The minions are here."

"Now you are a first-class noble prince, and you still call yourself a slave?" The empress looked at Zhou An and asked.

Zhou An was stunned.

Alas?

That's right!

The slave is the eunuch, the self-title of the inner servant, which means the domestic slave of the royal family. But Zhou An has been crowned king, and he is the most senior first-class noble prince, and he can enter the court to discuss politics...... Although he is still the head of Ouchi, he also has the status of a courtier.

Dual identity.

It can't be said that it is wrong for him to call himself a slave, but it is wrong to reach the level of a prince and call himself a slave as a first-class noble prince.

"Minister, thank you." Zhou An was a minister.

He suddenly realized the necessity of being a minister!

Because of the status of a minion, the plane is too "lowly" and not worthy of the empress!

The empress has good intentions!

"Xiao Anzi......" The empress spoke again, and stopped talking, she seemed to feel that she had to change her words, Xiao Anzi was the name of the slave.

"Holy Lord, the minister will always be your little Anzi, you call it like this, call it kindly." Zhou An hurriedly said, lest the empress be entangled there.

"Well......" the empress responded in a nasal voice, and said: "Xiao Anzi, I rewarded you before, and you have seen the reaction of the old ministers, I think they will not give up, I have rewarded you, I don't want to be forced by them to die, this matter ...... You've got to do it for me! There can be no more chaos in the imperial court. ”

Zhou An understood what the empress meant.

The empress has done everything she should do, and the rest will be handed over to Zhou An, who must be clear and clear, and there must be no chaos.

"Holy Lord, don't worry, the minions have a countermeasure." Zhou An said respectfully.

"Oh?" The empress was quite surprised, she didn't expect Zhou An to be so confident, "What's the countermeasure?" ”

"Just ...... this matter"

Zhou An didn't finish speaking, so he turned his head to look at the gate.

Squeak!

The door opened, and Gonggong Zhang, the head of the Qianwu Palace, bowed outside the door and said, "Holy Lord, Jia Linbo, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Li Guangshan, the generalissimo of the Zhongzhou Army, ask to see you." ”

The empress frowned and didn't speak immediately, she knew that trouble was coming.

The most troublesome thing is them, a cabinet chief assistant who has been an official for decades and has experienced ups and downs all over the world, and a generalissimo who has made great achievements in the annals of history and is known as the god of war.

Both of them are "not easy to mess with".

And at this juncture, the two came together, naturally to persuade the empress to take back her fate.

Unless it is someone who has an excellent personal relationship with Zhou An and can even not ask about right and wrong, otherwise, even Li Guangshan will not stand on Zhou An's side in this matter.

Not to mention whether Zhou An will disrupt the country.

But the fact that this case has endless troubles is enough for the two old ministers to persuade the empress.

What about Kanglongji? He was only crowned a prince after his death, or at the same time, he was a marquis at the highest.

What's more, Zhou An's credit is not so big, it is too far and too far.

"Here's the solution." Zhou An said.

The empress glanced at Zhou An, not knowing why.

"Holy Lord, Rong Chen will go and make peace with the two elders first." Zhou An bowed.

The empress didn't know what Zhou An was thinking, and she didn't ask in detail, she didn't have time, she was waiting outside, she nodded.

Zhou An hurriedly walked out.

……

Outside the Qianyuan Palace, Li Guangshan and Jia Linbo stood side by side at the foot of the steps, Jia Linmei frowned, Li Guangshan looked solemn, and neither of them spoke.

Apparently there had already been an exchange on the way here, so there was no need to say anything more.

The doors of the main hall were ajar, and suddenly they were all open...... Zhou An strode out, hurriedly walked down the steps, and hugged his fists at the two bosses: "Old handsome, old Ge Lao!" ”

"I've seen Mr. Zhou."

"Boss."

Both of them are commensurate with the general manager, which can be said to be very deliberate and very unfamiliar and polite.
