Chapter 259: How to Break the Situation?
Grasp? There is no certainty, but it cannot be said that there is no certainty.
"Sure!" Zhou An looked at the empress and said, he definitely can't say that he is not sure, that is not looking for a draw! Zhou An knew very well that the possibility of converting the Holy Mother of the Pure Land through normal means was almost zero.
can only use some special, even unspeakable means, Zhou An can't talk about these to the empress.
"How long will it take?" The Empress asked again.
"Unsure ......," Zhou Andao.
In fact, this answer is also very poor, but the empress can understand Zhou An's thoughts.
Although the possibility of letting this kind of Tiangang Grandmaster return to the imperial court is very low, since there is a chance, he has to give it a try after all, and it would be a pity to kill him directly.
The empress glanced at the Pure Land Virgin who was bound by art and lying on the ground, and then turned around and walked out: "Find her a dress, naked, what kind of body will she become?" ”
"Yes!" Zhou An received the order.
The Empress returned to the main hall and sat down at the table.
Zhou An was in the inner hall, first stuffed the Virgin of the Pure Land back into the sack, and tied the mouth of the sack, and the empress asked him to dress the Virgin of the Pure Land, but he was not in a hurry to do it, after all, the empress did not care about the Virgin of the Pure Land, but just felt that it was unseemly, and it was the same to stuff her back into the sack.
Then, Zhou An went out of the inner hall and closed the door of the inner hall first.
"Holy Lord, what is the current situation between the DPRK and China? The servant heard that Wu Xukuan began to stir up the wind and rain in the court again...... "Zhou An quickly approached the empress and asked.
"Sit." The empress didn't answer Zhou An first, but signaled and let Zhou An sit first.
Obviously, I want to talk about it in detail.
"Thank you." Zhou An sat on the chair on the other side.
"Yesterday morning, Wu Xukuan took ...... Forced to ...... Lao Shuai once argued with him, but he couldn't help it...... All witnesses were killed......"
The empress first talked about yesterday's morning to the court.
Jin Yiwei arrested Yang Deyong, the left attendant of the household department a while ago, this person is an important confidant of Wu Xukuan, and can even be said to be a strategist, Yang Deyong's corruption ability is conclusive, but a fire, not only burned the physical evidence, but also killed the human evidence, which is twists and turns, the empress did not elaborate, but Zhou An can imagine.
Yang Deyong has been arrested for a while, but there is no evidence and he can't be killed.
Yesterday in the morning, Wu Xukuan made a difficult attack on this matter, attacked the Yamen of the Fu Division, and even arranged the empress into it, after a game, as a last resort, the empress issued an order to release Yang Deyong.
However, Yang Deyong was not reinstated, but was dismissed, which was also the result of the game.
"Originally, during the time you left, the old marshal came back, and some generals in the army had a private meeting with the old marshal and voted over, and some courtiers became wavering because of this, and the situation has begun to improve, but...... Ever since the news of Kang Gong's bedridden spread, the situation has ......"
The two talked a lot.
In her absolute trust in Zhou An, the empress can be said to know everything, and she will answer whatever Zhou An asks.
Li Guangshan's comeback and Kang Longji's checkmate can be said to have a great impact.
There was a month before and after.
When Li Guangshan first came back, it can be described as turbulence in the government and the opposition, and many generals in the army who missed their old feelings directly voted for Li Guangshan, and Li Guangshan often visited some generals and courtiers after that, including those who had already paid tribute.
Let's not talk about how many people Li Guangshan "rebelled", just in terms of public opinion, Li Guangshan won.
He created an illusion that with his comeback, Wu Xukuan was about to betray his relatives.
But the good times didn't last long, and after the news spread that Kang Longji was dying in bed, public opinion suddenly reversed...... Kang Longji really has too much influence, he has assisted the internal manager of four generations of emperors, and the great master of Tiangang, who shocked the world, his life and death, to a certain extent, have decided the fate of this dynasty.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.
It was dark outside.
In this hour, not only did the empress talk to Zhou An, but Zhou An also told the empress in detail about his own situation outside this month.
Zhou An already understands the situation.
At present, on the whole, the power of the empress and Wu Xukuan is five-five.
Outside the city, since the Baijiang army returned to the imperial court, it did not leave, but was stationed one hundred and twenty miles outside the city, forming a containment with the Chuanhe army dispatched by Wu Xukuan.
Inside the city.
Wu Xukuan controlled eighty percent of the soldiers and horses in the city.
But the core power is in the hands of the empress, and in addition, the plan to raise troops with the Broken Pill has not stopped, and more than 2,000 innate soldiers have been trained in the Tiance Army.
This number will not change much in the short term.
Because of the large number of refining broken pills in the palace, the prices of some special medicinal materials have skyrocketed, and they have even been out of stock...... If there are enough medicinal materials, the palace can now even refine two or three hundred broken pills a day, but unfortunately, there are not so many medicinal materials.
In terms of overall strength, the two sides are not too much different.
But from a comprehensive point of view, as well as from the point of view of public opinion, Wu Xukuan is still powerful, because the empress herself is too weak, far inferior to Wu Xukuan, if Wu Xukuan directly launches an armed rebellion, the empress is likely to be killed first, and the outside world does not know that the empress has cultivated more than 2,000 innate soldiers.
Therefore, in public opinion, it is believed that the empress is weak.
What's more, Wu Xukuan's power is not only in Qianjing.
He held the power of the world, and there were many local troops loyal to him.
If there is a fight in the Qianjing City, and Wu Xukuan cannot quickly kill the empress, or destroy the empress's power, then he only needs to delay for a while before he can send troops to the capital.
He's not an emperor, he doesn't have so many scruples.
The empress is different, if it is not for the desperate time, the empress will never allow the chaos in Beijing, because it will make the world chaotic and the country collapse.
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
Zhou An was silent for a long time.
He was thinking, how to break the game?
The biggest problem now is that Kang Longji is going to die, and once he dies, it is likely to lead to Wu Xukuan's direct rebellion by force, I am afraid that there are only a few days left, Wu Xukuan dares to break the net, but the empress does not want to, and Zhou An does not want to.
I thought about it for a long time.
Zhou An knew that the root of the problem was that Wu Xukuan felt that he could win if he rebelled! Public opinion is also inclined to him, which will lead to the fact that once he rebels, many generals and ministers who have already defected to Li Guangshan or the empress will fall to Wu Xukuan again.
And those old ministers and generals who are still waiting will also completely fall to Wu Xukuan.
With one or the other, the problem is big!
Zhou An needs time to lay out, he still has to wait for Bai Xiaokui to come to Qianjing, and whether he can convince the Holy Mother of the Pure Land also takes time, but there is not enough time!
What to do?!
Zhou An was suddenly shocked, and he suddenly thought that what he should do now is not to bother to win more support and strengthen his strength, but to ...... Let Wu Xukuan feel that it is difficult to win a rebellion! Let the wind of public opinion be reversed, and I feel that the empress is very awesome, very strong, very strong!
"Holy Lord, can you catch that Yang Deyong again?" Zhou An looked at the empress and asked.
