Regarding the establishment of a new yamen, in fact, Zhou An had wanted to mention it a long time ago, and after a night conversation with Kang Longji, Zhou An mentioned it to Kang Longji, but perhaps because Zhou An said it was too simple, Kang Longji didn't ask.

When the empress asked again today, Zhou An naturally said everything she could say.

There are not many opportunities to speak up like this.

And I have to admit that Zhou An's words gave the empress a new way of thinking.

But it's not all the rage.

Because this matter is not easy to do, not to say how difficult it is to set up a new yamen, there is no difficulty in this matter, the empress is the empress after all, and she is not carrying out drastic reforms to the imperial court, but just adding a new yamen, that is, a matter of holy decree.

The difficult thing is still to catch and kill people, once this matter is launched, it is irreversible, and as long as one wrong step is taken, it may lead to disaster.

To put it bluntly, Zhou An suggested to the empress to set up a new yamen in order to bathe the imperial court in blood!

Naturally, this matter cannot be easily decided.

"You can do this way, but ......" The empress didn't continue, paused, and said: "It's late at night, Xiao Anzi, you retreat, I will discuss this matter with Gong Kang tomorrow......"

"The minions are gone." Zhou An bowed and bowed, and retreated.

He is much more comfortable with the empress now than before, because the empress has allowed him to kneel, which seems to be just a small favor convenient for Zhou An, but in fact the meaning is extraordinary.

Because the empress is the Ninety-Five, Zhou An doesn't have to kneel when she sees her, so she doesn't have to kneel when she sees other clan members, including Princess Yunjing.

Zhou An walked out of the Kunyuan Hall and closed the door gently.

The lights in the Kun Yuan Hall were quickly extinguished.

The Empress went to bed again.

On this night, Zhou An danced his sword all night outside the Kunyuan Palace.

Although Zhou An has mastered a lot of swordsmanship secrets, he has only recently specialized in one kind of swordsmanship, called "Taiyi Sword Technique", the name of this swordsmanship is full of immortality, which is the main reason for Zhou An to practice it.

"Taiyi Sword Technique" is ethereal and agile, not a swordsmanship that opens and closes, but it is swift and unparalleled, but it is quite suitable for using a soft sword.

According to the cheats, if you can cultivate the "Taiyi Sword Technique" to the fullest, you can take the head of the person from a hundred zhang away, and this hundred zhang is ...... Although it is not as good as the legendary sword immortal who can kill people thousands of miles away, it is also an extremely amazing ability in this world.

In this world, there are also people who can control the sword in the air...... Kanglongji can! Because he's angry!

But Zhou An has never heard of the sword that can resist the sword.

……

October 16, early in the morning.

The empress hurriedly ate breakfast, but went to the court, and Zhou An also went back to the Qianli Palace to rest after the empress went to the court.

He accompanied the empress to the court on the day of the great dynasty, that was a special circumstance, Kang Longji was particularly allowed, with Kang Longji's status in the palace, he said to the empress, the empress would not object, and then ...... Zhou An also had to get special permission, otherwise he couldn't follow.

Zhou An slept until the afternoon, and when he woke up, he heard the small pavilion that he had been taking by his side say that Wu Xukuan did not go to court today.

Wu Xukuan took sick leave again.

With him, there were dozens of important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty...... The number of courtiers who came to the early court today was less than twenty.

Wu Xukuan: This is a repetition of the old trick.

Keep pressing.

In fact, this trick is very scoundrel, and it doesn't seem to have much effect, after all, that kind of thing happened on the day of the Great Dynasty, but in fact, if this is the case for a long time, most of the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will not come to the court, and the empress's already meager control over the court will further shrink, and the court will also have a situation where the government decree is not passed, which is the most critical.

If it is in a peaceful and prosperous era, this kind of thing is nothing, even if the empress does not go to court for a year, there will be no major problems in the local area, but now is not a peaceful and prosperous era, natural disasters and man-made disasters are constantly outside, and many major events cannot be implemented if there is no empress to make a decision, even if there is a solution.

And now it's not that the empress doesn't go to court, but that the empress goes to court, and the courtiers don't come to court.

If the empress does not go to court, when there is really something to do, she can also invite some ministers into the palace to discuss.

But now, those ministers took the initiative not to go to court and complained about illness at home, even if the empress wanted to recruit them into the palace to discuss, they might not come.

The next few days.

The situation is still the same.

Wu Xukuan has become a lady who does not go out of the door, this time he can be called "unaffordable", and the same is true of those civil and military ministers who follow him.

In the blink of an eye, October 19.

Zhongzhou has reached the end of late autumn, and it is not far from winter.

In the north of the Eastern Qian Empire, it has snowed in winter.

Early in the morning of this day, after the end of the early dynasty of the empress, Zhou An, who was in charge of the ceremonial supervision, was urgently summoned into the Qianwu Palace, and he was summoned into the Qianwu Palace together, as well as Gao Hong, the commander of the Shence Army, and Su Chengguo and others under the command of the Tiance Army.

Because the celebrant was close, Zhou An arrived first.

The place where the empress summoned this time was not in the Qianyuan Palace, but in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Meditation Palace.

Here, it can be regarded as the empress's study.

The area is not as large as the Qianyuan Palace, but it is not small, and it is not a problem to accommodate one hundred and ten people.

In the East Warm Pavilion, because the stove is burned, it is very warm.

"Who are you waiting for?" Zhou An, who was standing by the window, asked Gao Hong beside him in a low voice.

Gao Hong glanced at Zhou An and shook his head.

He didn't know either.

is obviously waiting for someone, because Zhou An arrived early and has been waiting for a while, Gao Hong and Su Chengguo are here, and they are still waiting, but they don't know who they are waiting for.

But I heard the sound of footsteps outside the door.

Without notifying, the door was opened by the little eunuch, and a person walked into the Dongnuan Pavilion from the outside, hurriedly walked to the warm bed, bowed to the empress and said: "The last will see the saint, long live my emperor, long live." ”

"General Yuan is exempt!" The empress on the warm couch raised her hand and signaled.

Zhou An, who was by the window not far away, frowned.

He didn't even know this man!

This man is tall and thin, with high cheekbones, narrow eyes, and looks like he is about forty years old, although he is a general, he is not wearing armor, but he has a sword hanging from his waist, he can see that the empress does not dissolve the weapon, let alone bow down, indicating that his identity is extraordinary.

But Zhou An really didn't know him, he hadn't seen this person since he crossed over, and in Xiao Anzi's previous memory, there was no such person.

Zhou An poked Gao Hong lightly, and when Gao Hong looked at him, he compared a "who" lip shape.

"Yuan Shengshi." Gao Hong lip back, although he didn't say anything, Zhou An knew what he was talking about.

It's not that Zhou An is proficient in lip language, but he knows who Yuan Shengshi is, and he immediately thought of it when he compared his lip shape.

He is a first-class guard with a knife in Dongqian, a first-class protector general, or the marquis of Jiyang County with 800 households, and he has a more important identity, one of the eight emperors in Ouchi!

Zhou An has an in-depth understanding of the Ouchi Eight Emperors, there should be eight people in this unique organization, but in fact, there are only six people at present, the other two, one died unexpectedly a few years ago, and the other was eight years ago, with the "White Jade Case", the prince Wuyunzhuang was abolished, and the Ouchi Eight Emperors who followed Wuyunzhuang were also deprived of the identity of the Ouchi Eight Emperors, and then went to Fengliang Prefecture with Wuyunzhuang.

The establishment of the Ouchi Eight Imperial Guards has always been short and full, and now there are only six people.

And Zhou An, he had only seen three before.

They are Kang Longji, Gao Hong, and Haqige.

Zhou An also knew that there were two other Ouchi Eight Emperors, who were not currently in Qianjing City, but in Longwu Mountain in Jiangning Mansion, Jiangzhou, responsible for guarding the imperial tomb.

In other words, Zhou An can theoretically only see four Ouchi Eight Emperors, the first three have been seen, and the tall and thin man in front of him at this moment is the fourth - Yuan Shengshi!

He is the same as other Ouchi Eight Emperors, in Ouchi is a legend, very famous, but no one is as special as him, according to legend, he is born in the rivers and lakes, was recruited into the palace by Kang Longji, he is very mysterious, the vast majority of people in the inner court, are only heard of his name, not seen by him.

Zhou An hadn't seen him before, but had heard of him.

He had also heard that it was rumored that Yuan Shengshi was the top master of the Eight Imperial Sects of the Great Inner Palace, second only to Kang Longji, he was a few years younger than Gao Hong, but he was already half a step of Tiangang, and many people believed that he would have a chance to enter the Tiangang realm in his lifetime.

"The people are here." But I saw that the empress suddenly got up from the warm couch and said while pacing, "I have summoned you here today because I have important matters to discuss, and I plan to add a new yamen to the inner hall......

Zhou An's body shook.

Here it comes.
