"Holy Lord, you are too worried, the slave is not angry with you, nor does he want to avoid you, but Prince Ning's business, and it is most appropriate for the slave to do it." Zhou An was very serious and formal.

"At present, the new East Factory is still set up, the time is still short, nominally it can supervise the world, but in fact it has not yet been able to monitor the world, at present, only the Beijing Division can be rectified and purged, and outside the Beijing Division, thousands of miles of land, although there are secret detectives, but the disease of corruption has not been cured, and the people of the secret detectives and the local government collude at all levels, especially in remote places, this problem is particularly serious."

"The slave wants to ask for his life to leave Beijing, one is to catch Prince Ning, and the other is to clear the place, so that the current Dongchang can play a real role, and only then can you sit in the capital of the Holy Lord, and you can do all the big and small things in the world, in today's internal and external troubles in Dongqian, this is particularly important to you, to the imperial court, and to the society of the country!"

What Zhou An said in this passage is a bit full of truth.

In fact, he didn't need to say this, who made his current relationship with the empress suddenly become a little "discordant", he didn't want the empress to misunderstand, he was afraid that the empress would really detain him in Qianjing City and not let him go out to do errands.

The empress groaned and squinted at Zhou An.

Zhou An hung his head and was silent.

"This matter will be put aside for the time being, we still have to wait for the follow-up news from King Rong's side first......" the empress opened her mouth, "Or do you want to talk about the matter of the Baijiang Army, can the Duke of Shengguo enter the palace to see me at any time?" ”

"Back to the saint, you can be able, but the slave thinks that you don't need to be so anxious to see the old handsome."

"Why?"

"There are many people in the palace, and there is no preparation, so let the old man enter the palace directly, if he is seen, I am afraid that the news will leak, and this matter must not be exposed first, otherwise the countermeasure will not be ......"

"Hmm...... So what do you mean? ”

"The slave can prepare first, arrange it in the palace, and then invite the old man into the palace."

"Come on, that's it."

"Yes."

After Zhou An said this "yes", the hall suddenly became quiet again.

Because there's nothing to talk about.

The empress looked at Zhou An and groaned, as if she wanted to say something, but she never spoke.

"Holy Lord, if you don't have other instructions, the minions will go to do things first." Zhou An took the initiative to speak.

The empress opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she paused, and then said, "Go ahead." ”

"The minions are gone."

Zhou An bowed and withdrew from the Qianyuan Palace.

"Xiao Anzi, I'm really angry......" The empress's whisper sounded from inside the hall.

"Saint, he is still young, and it is a good thing that he can write his thoughts on his face." Kang Longji's old voice sounded, "If he hides everything in his heart, in the long run, I am afraid that there will be resentment......

"Resentment? Am I wrong? ”

"You're right, people are not grass, and they always have some temper...... Xiao Anzi is only wronged, and you comfort him......"

……

Outside the Qianyuan Palace, breathing in the cold air, Zhou An, who was in a hurry, let out a sigh, he was a little annoyed, the empress's tantrum today made him a little worried, he was very worried that the empress would grow into a "tyrant".

Women are ruthless, and there is nothing wrong with men at all!

The Empress of Shendu is a ruthless character!

And now Empress Shenzhao is only seventeen years old, but she is more and more like her mother.

I still remember that after Zhou An crossed over, when she first saw Empress Shenzhao, at that time, she had only been on the throne for three or four months, and she was not so assertive, she listened to Kang Longji for everything, and she could listen to everything, and now, it has been more than half a year since Empress Shenzhao ascended the throne, she has indeed changed, and she dares to smash things in a rage in front of Kang Longji regardless of her demeanor.

In this situation, if Wu Xukuan wins in the future, then needless to say, no one will have a future.

Let's just say that if Wu Xukuan didn't win, the empress will purge the traitorous party this winter, and Kang Longji, the only one who can suppress the empress, will not survive this winter, then at that time, the empress, who has just turned eighteen, will regain the power of the world, and there is no check and balance on this right!

When the emperors of the past dynasties first ascended the throne, they were greatly checked and balanced by the civil ministers and military generals, and some of them were even assisted by the ministers of Tuogu for many, many years, and their mental abilities were honed before they began to govern in person.

And some emperors, all their lives, have been competing with the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

Especially in the period of peace and prosperity, the emperor's rights will be greatly restricted, and the more virtuous the emperor, the more so, want to build a garden for the treasury to allocate funds? You have to pass the courtier's level first...... Some old ministers and Hongru who are not afraid of death even dare to play and scold the emperor for being a faint king, and some even dare to bang their heads against the pillars in the court to force the emperor to withdraw the improper holy order.

In the court of the sages and emperors of the past dynasties, there seem to be some thorns, and if there is nothing to do, they will say something that the emperor doesn't like to hear, and some will even prepare a coffin at home first, knowing that the whole family may be killed, but also to scold the emperor.

In fact, they are not bad, and some of them are too pedantic, but they all have good intentions.

It is precisely because of the continuous encouragement of these courtiers that there are sages and sages, and there is a prosperous era.

However!

No one dared to spur the young empress who purged the traitorous party!

If Wu Xukuan is destroyed by the empress, then who dares to scare her?

In fact, Zhou An also thought too much, just because the empress lost her temper today, he thought that the empress might become a "tyrant" in the future, but from Zhou An's point of view, he had to think so.

Because he doesn't want to live a life with a king like a tiger!

The empress's current personality is really too unstable.

Zhou An is very useful now, so if the empress loses her temper again, she will not do anything to him.

But what about the future?

Many things have a first time, a second and a third time.

So Zhou An was very annoying.

The courtyard in front of the Qianyuan Hall is huge.

Zhou An walked for a while, and he was about to walk out, but he heard Kang Longji's voice suddenly come from behind: "Xiao Anzi." ”

Kang Longji just came out of the Qianyuan Palace, and the voice called Zhou An was neither high nor low, but this voice spread far away, and Zhou An also heard it sincerely, and hurriedly turned around to look at it and saw that Kang Longji was waving to him.

Zhou An had to walk back.

Kang Longji also walked down the steps and walked towards Zhou An.

The two met in the courtyard.

"Grandpa......" Zhou An saluted.

"But you're really angry?" Kang Longji asked directly.

"No...... As a slave, how dare you be angry with the saints. ”

"Hard-mouthed...... You, you, are still young, the saint is responsible for continuing the country, the pressure is like a mountain, and there are occasional misdeeds, you should be more considerate...... Relax your heart, and the wrath of the Holy One is not directed against you, but only by pressure......"

Discussing the rights and wrongs of the emperor in vain, Kang Longji can say this.

"The little one understands." Zhou An hung his head and said.

"Hey...... You......" Kang Longji sighed.

He is also tired, he is talking about this matter at both ends, and now it seems that Zhou An really has a pimple in his heart, and he doesn't know if the empress will really appease Zhou An, he is not easy to find out what he said to the empress, after all, one is the emperor and the other is a minion, so I haven't heard the emperor apologize to the minion.

The majesty of the emperor cannot be disgraced!

This is the bottom line.

Therefore, Kang Longji is not good to talk too much with the empress, what the empress is willing to do, whether she is willing to do it or not, she has to think about it and decide by herself.

However, Kang Longji didn't think that the emperor would be able to admit his mistakes.

There was once an emperor who was extremely old-fashioned, admitting death, insisting on passing his throne to his eldest son, and he did not admit that he had made the wrong prince when he died, and he refused to change his mind until he died, and the result was ......

******

Late at night.

Zhou Ancai arranged for the old handsome Li Guangshan to enter the palace tomorrow, returned to the Qianli Palace and did not rest, and went to the inner hall of Ning'an Yuan to prepare to start alchemy.

Candlelit in the dim hall.

Zhou An was still preparing, weighing and mixing various medicinal materials.

"Father-in-law." Suddenly, the voice of a small pavilion sounded outside the door.

"Something?" Zhou An in the house asked.

"The Holy One just sent someone to call you over." The small pavilion said.

……

After the kung fu of tea.

Outside the empress's bedroom, Zhou An came in a hurry, there was a candlelight in the dormitory, the empress was naturally waiting for him, and she didn't know what was going on with calling someone over this big night.

Zhou An walked lightly to the door and called inside: "Holy Lord, the slave is here." ”

"Come in." The empress's voice rang out in the dormitory.

Zhou An pushed the door in, and carefully closed the door inside, and then walked inside.

He raised his eyes to look at the situation in the dormitory, and saw that the empress was lying on her side on the dragon bed, reading a book, and Kou Dong'er was not there, which was very strange, and I don't know if she went out temporarily.

The sound of footsteps gradually approached the dragon's bed.

"I have a headache, come up, give me a button." The empress was still reading, and she didn't raise her eyelids.
