Chapter Seventy-Six: The Great Pit
On the high platform, whether it was the empress who was sitting or Kang Longji who was standing halfway up the steps, his face changed color at this moment.
But they didn't say anything, because they didn't believe that Zhou An was Wu Xukuan's person.
If so, with Zhou An's current understanding of the Great Interior, he is enough to cooperate with Wu Xukuan to completely control the inner court, and Wu Xukuan can control the empress without today's matter.
Zhou An is Wu Xukuan's person, and from any point of view, it can't be explained.
But what he said now really seemed to be helping Wu Xukuan.
Wu Xukuan's face was also wrong, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were even more You look at me, I look at you, what is the situation? What does this week mean? Isn't he the empress's person?
"Do you really want to ask them one by one?" Wu Xukuan actually asked Zhou An, because he felt that something seemed wrong, but he really couldn't think of anything wrong, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military really asked one by one, Wu Xukuan was absolutely confident, and the old ministers who were still standing didn't need to say it, as long as they knelt down, they didn't dare to say that they were being coerced.
"Yes, ask!" Zhou An immediately replied, and said, "There is no more direct evidence than this, right?" ”
"Good!" Wu Xukuan shouted hello.
He is now beginning to wonder if any of his relatives secretly got Zhou An, but he didn't have time to inform himself?
"But ......" Zhou An's voice changed again.
"But what?" Wu Xukuan frowned.
"What shall you do if they admit that you are being coerced?" Zhou An asked.
Wu Xukuan didn't answer this question, but said: "What if they are not coerced by me, but voluntarily ask for their lives with Ben Hou?" He asked Zhou An rhetorically.
Zhou An pondered for a while, and then said: "Then that's it, our family said that they were coerced by you to act with you, and you flatly denied it, now you and I will ask them, if they admit that they are not coerced by you, but voluntarily ask for their lives, it means that the court has separated from the saint, and the abdication of the saint is the trend of the times, and the people's desire ......"
Some people were stupefied!
The empress stood up and looked at Zhou An's back with wide eyes.
The aura on Kang Longji's body couldn't help but be shocked.
The silence in the main hall was terrifying.
Because Zhou An's words are too scary! It's simply a decision for the empress, which means that if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty say it one by one, they all say that it is voluntary, and they are not coerced by Wu Xukuan, then the empress will abdicate......
This......
At this moment, the empress almost believed that Zhou An was bought by Wu Xukuan.
At this moment, Wu Xukuan almost believed that Zhou An was his own person.
He is not helping the empress now, he is completely helping Wu Xukuan to force the palace!
The empress stood up, but she hadn't spoken yet, so everyone's attention was not on the empress, but on Zhou An. What they couldn't see was that Zhou An was talking to Wu Xukuan in this posture with one arm in the crook of the dust and the other behind him.
At the same time as the empress stood up, Zhou An, who was very strong, knew the empress's actions and shook his left hand behind him.
Behind Zhou An is the high platform, so only the people on the high platform can see the gestures behind him.
He was signaling to Kang Longji and the empress, don't speak!
I don't know if they'll be able to grasp it.
At this time, Zhou An signaled to the empress and Kang Longji, naturally indicating that he still had a trick, but he didn't know whether the empress and Kang Longji were willing to believe him at the moment, and he also had the intention of gambling.
The empress was difficult to compose, but when she saw Zhou An's gesture, she couldn't help but didn't speak immediately, but glanced at Kang Longji, who was halfway up the steps.
Kang Longji's face was solemn, looking back at the empress, and then at Zhou An.
He didn't say anything.
At this moment, he chose to believe in Zhou An.
There was silence, and a pin drop could be heard.
"Good!" Wu Xu said another good word fiercely.
"Don't worry, we're not done yet." Zhou An said, "What if they don't voluntarily ask for their lives, but are coerced by you?" How should you? You haven't said it yet. ”
"What do you say?" Wu Xukuan actually asked Zhou An.
It's hard for him to say it himself, if the Manchu Dynasty civil and military said that it was voluntary, this would directly force the empress to abdicate, but if it wasn't voluntary, saying that he was coerced by him Wu Xukuan, what could Wu Xukuan come up with? Whatever he came up with was not enough to compare with the abdication of the empress.
"Did you bring the Tiger Talisman with you?" Zhou An asked a very sensitive question.
"It's so important...... Take it with you. Wu Xukuan replied.
"So good! If the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty do not want the Holy Lord to abdicate, but are coerced by you, if they admit it, it means that you are a disloyal, unrighteous and evil minister, you! In front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, he handed over the tiger talisman for the transfer of troops, stepped down as the first assistant of the cabinet, and returned to his hometown. Zhou An looked directly at Wu Xukuandao.
Wu Xukuan was silent.
He always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think of anything wrong, and when it came to this, Wu Xukuan couldn't disagree, and if he didn't agree, it meant that he was afraid, he was weak-hearted, and there was a problem here!
And the current situation, no matter how you look at it, Zhou An is helping him! At this time, inside and outside the Fengtian Palace, as long as he was kneeling, no one dared to say that Wu Xukuan didn't say a word!
"Are you scared?" Zhou An actually took a step forward and asked.
The two were less than half a foot apart.
"Afraid? How could Ben Hou be afraid?! Wu Xukuan immediately shouted, "Then this matter is decided!" Who do you want to ask? Just ask! I want to see who dares to say that they are being blackmailed by Ben Hou! ”
Wu Xukuan's last sentence was already a blatant threat.
"Then our family will ask......" Zhou An looked at Wu Xukuan and smiled.
"Ask! Ask! More than 1,000 people, you can ask casually. Wu Xukuan said, and his voice changed again, "It's better for Ben Hou to ask with you, come on, who do you say to ask first?" ”
Zhou An glanced at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military who were kneeling in the black press, inside and outside the hall.
Who to ask?
He knows very well that whoever he asks now, anyone will say that it is voluntary, and even if Wu Xukuan is not in the court, they dare not say in public that they were coerced by Wu Xukuan, and they don't want Wu Xukuan to kill the whole family, so they can't say so.
And more importantly, Wu Xukuan really didn't threaten them.
This is also the fundamental reason why Wu Xukuan still has confidence although he feels that something is wrong.
Zhou An glanced speechlessly.
On the high platform in the rear, the empress was still standing, and her whole heart was in her throat.
Kang Longji stared at Zhou An's back.
If something was wrong, he didn't mind killing Zhou An directly.
He has this right, unlike Wu Xukuan, who can't kill people in public, Zhou An is a slave of the inner court, and Kang Longji is the chief of the inner court, from a legal point of view, Wu Xukuan can't kill anyone else without trial except for directly killing his own house slaves.
But Kang Longji has the right to punish any slave in the inner court, and he will kill him if he says so.
Zhou An was still looking, he seemed to be looking for someone, and after a long while, Zhou An spoke, but he looked at Wu Xukuan: "More than a thousand people, if you ask one by one, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish asking after noon, right?" ”
"Hmm...... What do you mean by that? Wu Xukuan answered, but asked.
"Our family has a faster way, it only takes half an hour, you can ask this Manchu civil and military, whether it is voluntary or coerced, are you willing to listen?" Zhou An asked.
Wu Xukuan pondered for a moment before saying, "Say!" ”
"Have you heard of ......" Zhou An asked him again, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a smile that made Wu Xukuan extremely uneasy, "I've heard of it...... Secret ballot? ”
When Zhou An finished saying this, his smile became extremely gloomy.
He dug a big hole for Wu Xukuan!
Wu Xukuan really jumped!
