Chapter Seventy-Eight: Retreat

Zhou An is not afraid of making things bigger, because it can be reversed.

He stepped forward and clashed with Wu Xukuan for a while, and actually forced Wu Xukuan into a "desperate situation", but he was not afraid, because of Zhou An's identity, his words only represented himself, not like Kang Longji, what Kang Longji said, then it must be on behalf of the empress, if he had this kind of conflict with Wu Xukuan, it would be really irreparable.

Of course, if the empress thinks that Zhou An's words can represent herself, then she can represent herself, if the empress thinks she can't, then what Zhou An said is a dog fart, and because of this, Zhou An has no scruples.

At this moment, Kang Longji scolded Zhou An, but all the disputes between Zhou An and Wu Xukuan before were invisible.

Inside and outside the Fengtian Palace, the atmosphere is relaxed.

Many people let out a sigh of relief, and their backs were covered with cold sweat, just now they were really scared and didn't dare to breathe, this little eunuch forced Wu Xukuan again and again, it was impossible to vote, and Wu Xukuan could only do the opposite!

Fortunately, Kang Longji spoke.

Zhou An obediently rolled back to the bottom of the steps, and stepped aside, and immediately entered a state that was almost like an old monk's steady, expressionless and motionless, as if it was not him who was in Wu Xu's wide lips before.

Wu Xukuan's expression was also relaxed, and he stared at Zhou An with slanted eyes.

In fact, he was also relieved in his heart.

Direct rebellion by force is the next policy, if he does so, it will be the mountains and rivers broken, the world is in chaos, although he Wu Xukuan controls the court, the power of the world, but his power, one is from the court, the other is from the military power.

Mainly military power, Wu Xukuan can mobilize the world's soldiers and horses directly under the imperial court, not only by relying on tiger charms, he has been a generalissimo, and now many leading generals are all pulled up by Wu Xukuan back then.

But he can't control the local forces, not only the six major feudal kings, the Dongqian Dynasty has been established for more than 300 years, and in the local area, there have long been very famous family gate valves, and the children of these gate valves are all serving in local departments, and some are in charge of the local army.

If Wu Xukuan rebels by force, he will inevitably be attacked by the whole world.

Wu Xukuan has the strength to rebel by force, but he knows that he must not do so unless he has to...... For example, if Wu Xukuan can control the situation in Qianjing City after the armed rebellion, put the empress under house arrest in the palace, and still give orders in the name of the empress, in this way, although there will be shocks in the world, it will not collapse directly.

But it is extremely difficult to capture the empress, control the empress, and put her under house arrest.

Because of Kang Longji, once Wu Xukuan rebelled, Kang Longji would definitely flee Qianjing City with the empress as soon as possible, Wu Xukuan was not sure to stop Kang Longji, the reason why the great master was a great grandmaster was because of his strong martial arts perversion.

It is no exaggeration to say that Kang Longji can fight thousands of them.

……

"What Wu Ge Lao is doing today is related to the society of the country and the people of the world, and it cannot be easily decided." Wu Xukuan was squinting at Zhou An, and the empress's voice suddenly sounded, "Since this matter is controversial, it is not possible to negotiate the result in a short time, so we will put it aside for the time being and discuss it at a later date." ”

The empress is not stupid, Kang Longji has spoken, and the empress naturally reflects it.

She said lightly, and directly turned the page on Wu Xukuan's forcing her to abdicate.

Normally, it is impossible to turn the page so easily.

If the empress said that it would be put aside, Wu Xukuan would definitely be able to stir up the conversation again immediately and continue to entangle.

But now, Wu Xukuan will never be entangled again.

Because Zhou An will scare him!

He dared to talk about the empress's abdication and let the virtuous go, so Zhou An dared to jump out again and talk to him about the secret ballot, so that he could see what the "power of democracy" was.

In fact, this matter has come to this point, and it belongs to both sides to take a step back.

Wu Xukuan didn't want to rebel directly by force, and the empress's side didn't want to force him to rebel directly by force.

Therefore, at the last moment, Kang Longji asked Zhou An to roll back and gave Wu Xukuan a step.

Wu Xukuan's side, it is naturally impossible to take the initiative to push things to the extreme.

Inside and outside the Fengtian Palace, there was silence.

The empress said "discuss it at a later date", no one objected, or rather, no one spoke, Wu Xukuan did not speak, and no one else would speak.

Wu Xukuan glanced at the empress, and then glanced at Zhou An.

"There is a book, but there is no book!" Kang Longji preached loudly.

Still silent.

If you change the big morning day a few months ago, not to mention those petty officials, officials above the fourth grade, some of them must have to hand over the excerpt to the empress, after all, the world is so chaotic now, it is impossible to be fine, and if some minor officials are favored by the officials and have unique opinions on a certain aspect of things, those important ministers who can speak directly with the empress will also hand the excerpt on their behalf.

And today, perhaps, some people are preparing to start something today, but after Wu Xukuan's trouble, they don't dare to mention it.

Everyone wants to get out of the way quickly!

Including the Empress.

Because no one started again, the empress glanced down, inside and outside the hall, and said: "Since there is nothing to do, then let's disperse today." ”

"Retreat!!" Kang Longji immediately preached in a louder voice to ensure that it was heard inside and outside the temple.

"Long live my emperor, long live!" The sound of the mountains roaring like a tsunami resounded inside and outside the Fengtian Temple.

Only Wu Xukuan didn't shout, didn't kneel, and didn't look at the empress.

However, the empress didn't look at him, walked down the high platform from the east side, and walked to the east gate of the Fengtian Hall surrounded by Kang Longji and other eunuchs and palace maids.

Wu Xukuan didn't look at the empress, but his eyes were always staring at Zhou An.

Today's "good situation" was completely broken by Zhou An alone.

Not only that, Zhou An also completely disrupted his follow-up plan, according to Wu Xukuan's previous thoughts, the empress will abdicate now, although the empress will not abdicate directly, but she will definitely not be able to step down, and it is likely to directly announce her retreat and leave in embarrassment.

In this way, Wu Xukuan's goal has been achieved, as long as the news spreads, it can create a false impression that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces really hope that the empress will abdicate and let Xian, this matter will affect the thoughts of many people, especially these Beijing officials in the last dynasty today, since they all knelt down and asked for their lives together, it can be said that there is no way to retreat.

This will clear a lot of obstacles for Wu Xukuan to overthrow the empress after him.

It's a pity that Wu Xukuan never expected that his plan would be completely ruined by a little eunuch!

Not only did it not have the desired effect, but it even had the opposite effect.

There is no doubt that after the news of the court spreads today, he Wu Xukuan is afraid that he will become a laughing stock in some people's mouths, and Zhou An, the eunuch of the inner court, will definitely be famous all over the world!

Zhou An had already followed the empress to her side and walked out together.

Wu Xukuan has been staring at Zhou An's back, and no one knows what Wu Xukuan is thinking at this moment.

With the empress, before leaving the east door, Zhou An suddenly paused, looked back at Wu Xukuan, and turned the corners of Wu Xukuan's mouth up, revealing a faint smile.

It's a smile of inexplicable significance.
