A new day.

Early in the morning, people came to mourn Kanglongji.

Among them are some important ministers of the dynasty, some of whom have been clearly from the empress faction, and some from the Wu Xukuan faction. The important ministers of Wu Xukuan's faction came to mourn Kang Longji, naturally they had "bad intentions", and it is not an exaggeration to say that they came to spy on him.

Let them spy on them, which is exactly what Zhou An thought.

In the morning, about 100 people came to mourn Kanglongji.

By noon, another large crowd had arrived.

They came together, about forty or fifty people, but if you count the family members they brought, and the family servants who followed, it would be more than a hundred, and the carriages outside the Xianguo Mansion were crowded, and the people were full of people, and they could be called like a cloud of guests.

These people were all brought by Li Guangshan.

Naturally, he was instructed by the empress, and he brought the "Manchu Dynasty civil and military" to mourn Kang Longji, and naturally they were all people from the empress's faction, and it was impossible for Wu Xukuan's people to act with Li Guangshan.

Because there were too many people, it was tossed until the afternoon, and everyone finished mourning.

Thinking about it, Wu Xukuan has already gotten the news, but it's hard to say how he will react.

……

At dusk.

Wenchang Street, where people come and go, was suddenly under martial law, and a large number of soldiers and horses different from the Tiance Army entered Wenchang Street and began to fully supervise public security.

The entire street was emptied.

Bang Bang Bang!

As the gong sounded, the cavalry opened the way, and the empress sat on the dragon chariot and walked swaggering on Wenchang Street.

The Empress is here!

She came to "mourn" Kang Longji in person, of course, this is very unruly, because condolences to the deceased need to bow and salute, but the emperor cannot salute anyone, this involves imperial power, related to the emperor's status, the relationship between monarchs and ministers, insurmountable!

But the empress still came.

According to the plan, she will not salute Kang Longji, and the way she "condolences" Kang Longji is just to put incense on the pillar.

Since ascending the throne, Empress Shenzhao has never left the palace.

This is the first time.

A full 2,000 Shence troops left the palace with her, and those who came with her also included Yuan Shengshi, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Gao Hong, the commander of the Shence Army, and Li Guangshan, who had just mourned Kang Longji at noon.

Li Guangshan was very close to the empress, and rode a horse to follow the empress's dragon chariot.

The empress went out of the palace this time, and the battle was not small, after all, she didn't go far, but the master of Ouchi poured out of the nest, and where she passed, the people knelt down and shouted long live.

When Long Yuan walked to the gate of the Xianguo Mansion, Zhou An and the others had already received the news and were waiting at the door to greet them.

Zhou An took the empress and got off the dragon chariot.

The empress walked towards the Guogong Mansion on foot, and Zhou An followed closely beside her.

"Holy Lord, why are you here in person......" Zhou An followed behind the empress's side and whispered.

"If you can eradicate Wu Xukuan, why not?" The Empress whispered back.

In fact, it was Zhou An who proposed to the empress before that if the empress left the palace and came to mourn Kang Longji in person, it was very likely that Wu Xukuan's personal assassination would be aroused! After all, it is much more difficult to assassinate the empress outside the palace than inside the palace.

Because the environment in the palace is familiar to the Shence Army and the Ouchi Four Guards, the terrain in the palace is suitable for the legion, and there are no idle people in the palace, so it is not easy for the assassins to go.

Outside the palace is different, such as this Xianguo Mansion, if thousands of people are fighting, it can't be tolerated at all, and the mansion is surrounded by some private houses, streets, alleys, there are people everywhere, the terrain is too chaotic, and there are many people.

And, most importantly, the point.

When the empress leaves the palace, it is impossible to take away all the guardian power of the palace!

There are Shence Army and Ouchi Four Guards in the palace, and there are Tiance Army around the palace, adding up to more than 40,000 people, and the empress leaves the palace, unless she is going far away, it is not a matter of mobilizing 200,000 troops to protect her, but it is not possible to move too many people when she leaves the palace temporarily, and it is not far away.

It's not even a tenth of the power to protect the palace.

For various reasons, it can be said that the possibility of the empress leaving the palace and being assassinated and dying is several times higher than in the palace, or even more than ten times!

Zhou An had only proposed it to the empress, or had mentioned it...... After all, his principle is that it is not advisable for the empress to take risks.

If the empress has an accident, she will be over!

Just as if Wu Xukuan died, the traitorous party group would be directly destroyed.

According to Zhou An's plan, the empress is not unable to leave the palace, but not today, she can wait a little longer, but the empress is more anxious than Zhou An, she does not lack courage, she wants Wu Xukuan to die.

The empress personally mourned Kang Longji, and it quickly spread throughout the capital.

Wu Xukuan naturally received the news as soon as possible.

Two of the soldiers and horses in the four cities of Qianjing directly had an unconventional movement, and the Tiance army also responded immediately, and about 5,000 Tiance soldiers and horses left the camp......

The entire Qianjing City suddenly fell into an extremely tense atmosphere.

It seems that it will "explode" at any moment!

And all this, as if it had nothing to do with the empress, the atmosphere in the Xianguo Mansion was solemn, almost silent, and the empress walked into Kang Longji's mourning hall under the watchful eyes of all people.

Wash your hands, burn incense, and put incense on it.

Everything went on in silence.

When others came to mourn, there was an old eunuch on the side to announce the steps, such as one bow, two bows, family answers, etc., but the empress came to mourn, all of which were not in accordance with the rules.

How the empress incense Kang Longji can only be determined by herself.

In fact, no matter what way the empress mourns Kang Longji, it is not right, she can consider herself to be Kang Longji's junior in her heart, but her identity, on such a formal occasion, she is the king, and Kang Longji can only be a minister!

But she is the emperor, she can be willful.

After incense, the empress stood in the mourning hall for a long time, looking at Kang Longji's coffin without saying a word.

After a long, long time.

"Xiao Anzi."

"The minions are here."

"Come with me."

"Yes!"

Zhou An followed the empress out of the mourning hall, and Zhou An led the empress to the nearest study, Gao Hong, Yuan Shengshi, Li Guangshan and others all followed, and everyone entered the study to discuss secretly.

When the empress offered incense, many people had already come to report the latest situation, and they were also summoned into the study to explain the situation.

And for nearly an hour after that, almost every once in a while, someone would come to report the latest situation.

Wu Xukuan carried out a large-scale "military transfer"!

Even the Chuanhe Army, which had only arrived outside the city at noon today, had an abnormal movement of troops in the camp, as if they were preparing for something.

All kinds of signs show that Wu Xukuan wants to do it!

Just tonight!

Now the empress is in the Xianguo Mansion, not in the palace, and once there is a change, the empress will be in danger, and there will definitely be an assassination against her.

"Holy Lord, the slave thinks that Wu Xukuan is likely to launch a ...... on your way back to the palace" Zhou An looked at the empress and said.
