The Empress agreed.

Zhou An was not surprised by this.

Because the empress did not refuse this matter at the beginning, this shows that she may agree, and even if she finally refuses, Zhou An can create a second or third opportunity for herself to ask for her life, so it is a matter of time before she agrees.

Zhou An didn't expect that the empress would lightly agree to her request at this time.

This...... Is it because of the massage, it really makes the empress comfortable?

Is that okay?

Probably not.

Zhou Anguan took a look, pillowing his legs with his eyes closed, the empress who was drowsy, it was difficult for him to see anything on the side of the empress's face, it was too calm, but this also showed that the empress did not hesitate or struggle in her heart at the moment.

She was peaceful.

She must have discussed this matter with Kang Longji, so it can be inferred that she should have made a decision before, she just found a random opportunity to tell herself.

Zhou An understands that even if she doesn't enter the empress's bedroom tonight, it is estimated that tomorrow morning, she will talk to herself about it when she asks for peace.

And Zhou An can imagine that the empress can allow herself to raise and set up a new yamen, and it is likely that there is a direct relationship with Kang Longji's sudden fall tonight.

The sudden deterioration of Kang Longji's health brought a great sense of crisis to the empress, which also made her understand that she really had to care about the future at this time? Even if "eunuchs interfere in politics" will have bad consequences, it will have to be a matter of the future.

And the empress doesn't even know if she has a future now.

It's hard to say whose country will belong in the future.

It still depends on the present, just look at the current situation, Wu Xukuan still has a big advantage, the empress's disadvantage is too great, it is already in such a situation, naturally whatever means can be used, what means will be used, as for whether it will leave disaster in the future, it can be said in the future.

What the empress needs to do most now is to make sure that she has a future.

Otherwise, looking ahead and looking ahead, everything will be in vain.

Zhou An was still a little excited in his heart, but he didn't show it, he was still pressing the empress's head, and the empress's breathing became more and more even, as if she had fallen asleep.

Zhou An's strength became lighter and lighter, and he gradually stopped.

The empress really didn't move, and she really fell asleep.

Zhou An, embarrassed.

What can I do? You can't kneel on the dragon bed all night, can you? Just let the empress pillow like this, this is too sinful! But the empress finally fell asleep again, and if Zhou An woke her up, he was afraid that it would displease the empress.

Zhou An is not afraid of the empress, but to ensure that he "makes mistakes" as little as possible in front of the empress.

The empress lay on her side and slept soundly.

Zhou An looked at Kou Dong'er on the side, Kou Dong'er, who was wearing obscene clothes, looked indifferent, without any expression at all, she knew that Zhou An was asking for help from herself, glanced at Zhou An, and then picked up the quilt on the dragon bed very lightly, pulled up some, and leaned over to cover the empress.

The empress fell asleep, slept very lightly, and woke up at once.

"Hmm...... I'm asleep......" The empress's voice was a little confused, but she immediately felt that something was wrong, turned her head to look, and saw Zhou An, and then remembered how she had fallen asleep before.

"Xiao Anzi, I've worked hard for you, go ahead......"

"It's all what a slave should do, and a slave retires."

Zhou An got off the dragon bed, lifted his shoes and retreated.

When he got outside, Zhou An gently closed the door again.

The candles in the dormitory were soon extinguished, and everything was silent.

Zhou An was not sleepy, although he couldn't sleep, but it was okay to find a place to doze off and rest, he just didn't want to sleep, and started to dance the sword in the yard again until dawn.

******

After the sky was bright, the empress had already gone to the early dynasty, and Zhou An went back to the Qianli Palace to make up for sleep.

As soon as he slept until noon, Zhou An was full of energy, he didn't eat lunch, he went to visit Kang Longji who lived next door first, but Kang Longji was not in Ningyi Garden, Zhou An didn't see anyone, so he went to Qianwu Palace to see the empress.

Qianyuan Palace.

When Zhou An arrived, not only Kang Longji was there, but even Gao Hong, the commander of the Shence Army, and Yuan Shengshi, the commander of Jinyiwei, were also there.

She has already approved this matter, but the specific details still need to be discussed.

In particular, Zhou An needs manpower, since it is to set up a new yamen with eunuchs as the person in charge, then Zhou An cannot be alone, and the clerks around Zhou An, his personal entourage, must also be eunuchs, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble, after all, normal men are not allowed to enter the inner court.

Therefore, the inner court must transfer some people to Zhou An, not too much, but not too little.

It was another closed-door meeting.

But the time for this discussion is not long, and it is only a matter of an hour, because the new yamen added this time will not cause much resistance in the imperial court, and the high-pressure deterrence formed by the Jinyi guard is on the one hand, on the other hand, the function of the new yamen is very similar to the function of the original secret guard, which is basically copied and slightly changed, and the sense of threat it brings is far inferior to that of the Jinyi guard.

Therefore, there will be much less resistance to the establishment of a new yamen this time, so there is no need to worry too much.

In the next few days, Qianjing City can be said to be "calm".

In the past, Jinyiwei was crazy about arresting people, but in the past few days, it has suddenly stopped, and he has not arrested anyone for five consecutive days, and there are many rumors related to Jinyiwei in Qianjing City.

It is said that Jin Yiwei was burdened by the previous case, because he caught too many officials and criminals who could not be convicted, and there were framed and indiscriminately killed innocents, which caused the empress to be dissatisfied, which made Jin Yiwei have to temporarily stop the arrest operation, and he must deal with the previous cases before he can take action again.

I don't know who released this rumor, but it made the people who colluded with Wu Xukuan in the court, as well as some people with bad conduct, all temporarily relieved.

Winter Moon Twenty-One.

It snowed lightly in Qianjing City.

Counting, this is the third snow in Qianjing since the beginning of winter, the first two snows are very large, and they all last for a few days, the interval between them is very short, and then it has not snowed for more than half a month, and it has not snowed until today, and it has snowed lightly.

It is said that the snow is a good year, and this year, the Qianjing City, or the entire north of the Dongqian Dynasty, has less snow, which is not a good sign, there is less snow in winter, and if there is less rain in the spring next year, then the whole north, I am afraid that it will usher in a big drought again.

On this day, not long after the early dynasty, news came out of the Imperial Palace.

The empress decreed that a new yamen would be set up on the basis of secret guards, and this new yamen was still responsible for supervising the world, and had a higher level of investigation, espionage, and surveillance powers, but the right to arrest was withdrawn, and the arrests related to the new yamen would be taken care of by Jinyiwei, the pacification department.

It will be a very pure intelligence agency.

The address of the yamen is located in the east of the Dongqian Imperial Palace, and it is only separated from the imperial palace by a moat and a street.

The street to the east of the palace is called Dongsheng Street, and the palace is located on the west side of Dongsheng Street, and the new yamen is on the east side of the intersection of Dongsheng Street, next to Dongsheng Gate.

The signature of this yamen official has been confirmed as the East Investigation Factory!

Abbreviated as East Factory!

The first chief official of the East Factory will be served by Zhou An, the eunuch of the Inner Court and the Eunuch Bingbi, whose official title in the East Detective Factory is "Governor of the Qincha East Factory Official School Eunuch", referred to as "Admiral East Factory".

And because Zhou An is a eunuch and a father-in-law, he can also be called a factory father!
