Zhou An was awarded this time, which is extremely important!

He was previously granted the title of Marquis of Gaoyang County with a fief of 500 households, but this time it was doubled! According to this trend, if Zhou An is rewarded again next time, he may be directly promoted, and the county marquis will become a county marquis!

Zhou An was promoted to the first-class rank, which made him reach Kanglongji. When Zhou An established the East Factory before, because the title of the admiral of the East Factory was set at the second-class rank, Zhou An was promoted to the second-class rank at that time. How long has it been now? Zhou An went from the third-class rank to the second-class rank, and then now, from the first-class rank, it is no more than ten days!

This kind of promotion speed of three-level jump can usually only occur in small officials, but now it happens to Zhou An, a powerful official who was already a third-ranked official.

There is also a reward of ten thousand taels of gold.

This is incomprehensible. Everyone knows how much money the imperial court lacks at the scene. What did the empress think?

You should know that the Empress of the God Capital has been in power for more than ten years and has been awarded countless high-ranking officials, but has never rewarded ten thousand taels of gold! The thousand taels of gold is over.

Ten thousand taels of gold, that is one hundred thousand taels of silver!

This kind of reward is not that it cannot be given, but it is no longer necessary. Money rewards are just a bonus, and the most important thing is to increase the position, but the empress suddenly rewarded Zhou An with ten thousand taels of gold for no reason. What is the reason?!

However, since the reward given to Zhou An was paid by the inner government, not by the treasury, it was not anyone's turn to say that the empress's own money was not the court's money, and she would give it to whoever she liked.

To be honest, the most important reward given to Zhou An was not the title, fief and the promotion of official title, nor ten thousand taels of gold, but the new official position of the imperial envoy, the eunuch in charge of the Tiance Army!

This is the full name of Zhou Anxin’s official title, which can be referred to as “Tiance Army Supervisor”!

It is not uncommon for eunuchs to supervise the army.

But the imperial guards in the capital actually have military supervisors, which is strange!

What's more, it was not an ordinary imperial guard, but one of the most important forces under the empress, the Tiance Army, which could almost be on par with the Shence Army! Since the Shence Army had only 3,000 people and was too few, it could only be considered a guard, while the Tiance Army was a legion!

This can be said to be the most important and powerful legion under the Empress!

She actually asked Zhou An to supervise the army?!

What signal is this?

Does the empress want to further strengthen her control over the military? Or does she no longer trust Su Chengguo, the commander of the Tiance Army?

The power of the military supervisor is very great. He can assist in military affairs or inspect generals. Although he cannot directly command the Tiance Army in terms of law, because of his rights, if the leader of the Tiance Army concessions, he can indirectly command the Tiance Army, or even! If the military supervisor discovers that the commander of the Tiance Army has committed evil deeds, he can even take action first and then report!

This is...

Can't figure it out.

No one can understand why? If it is just favor, it would be too much. Wouldn't you be afraid that Su Chengguo will have any grudges?

What exactly is it?

Not to mention that the government and the country couldn't figure it out, even Wu Xukuan, after receiving the news, he didn't understand why.

Naturally, they could not have imagined that the reason why Zhou An became the Tiance Army Supervisor was just to facilitate his work and to prevent him from causing suspicion because he often went to and from entering and leaving the Tiance Army camp.

He was not going to supervise the Tiance Army, but to select people from the Tiance Army, choose soldiers from the acquired realm to come out, give them the broken pills, and help them break the innate!

The Shence Army has only 3,000 people, but the lowest strength is also innate, so there is no need to use the Breaking Pill.

The Tiance Army has 20,000 people. Although it is the most elite legion, its average strength is naturally not as good as the Shence Army. Among the 20,000 soldiers of the Tiance Army, there are only one thousand in the innate realm or above, which is already a very terrible proportion.

You should know that other legions organized by normal non-elite imperial guards are good enough to have a thousand innate people in the 100,000 people. Although the proportion of acquired realm is not low, it is definitely not high. Most ordinary soldiers in ordinary legions are warriors who have not even practiced internal strength, and they are not even considered warriors.

Although the martial arts trend of Donggan is popular, it is not as good as finding an army to pull out a big head soldier, and it is a martial artist in the acquired realm. It is not that scary. After all, practicing martial arts requires talent.

The 20,000 Tiance Army has a total of one thousand innate soldiers, and the rest are acquired realms. Martial men who do not have internal strength will not be selected into the Tiance Army. This is also the 20,000 Tiance Army, which is comparable to the ordinary 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and generals, and even more. This depends on the opponent's elite level.

If it was the Zhongzhou Army, it would be no problem for Tiance Army to beat him for 20,000 to 40,000.

But if it is an ordinary local army, 20,000 Tiance Army, it is not a problem to attack him for 50,000 or 60,000.

This refers to the strength of facing battle without using military strategies.

...

At noon, Qianyuan Hall of Ganwu Palace.

The Empress held a closed-door meeting again.

The commander of the Shence Army, Gao Hong, commander of the Tiance Army, Su Chengguo, commander of the Jinyiwei Army, Yuan Shengshi, and others who were summoned to attend the meeting this time, naturally also participated.

What we want to discuss in this "closed-door meeting" is naturally about breaking the pill!

This matter is top secret, and no mistake can be made at every step. Otherwise, once it is leaked, Wu Xukuan will definitely not give the empress enough time, and he will rebel.

That's why the empress wanted to summon people to discuss.

According to the empress's wishes, Zhou An will refine a large number of elixirs in the future. This elixir is mainly used in the Tiance Army. If the Tiance Army can add thousands of innate realms, then the comprehensive strength of the 20,000 Tiance Army will be comparable to the 100,000 Chuanhe Army outside the city!

This is actually not enough to make the Empress turn the tables.

Because Wu Xukuan not only has 100,000 Chuanhe Army, most of the troops in the capital were also controlled by him, and was only the most elite part of the empress, so even if the plan was successful, the empress could not turn the tables, and Wu Xukuan still had an advantage.

However, if this step is done, although the empress cannot turn the tables, she has the strength to confront Wu Xukuan, and the power comparison will no longer be so different.

Even said that if Wu Xukuan really dares to rebel, the empress already has the strength to fight him to the death!

And as long as you can achieve this, the determination of those who follow Wu Xukuan in the court will inevitably be shaken. One rises and the other falls, and the empress may turn the tables when seeking some support from other aspects!

Wu Xukuan was not orthodox after all. He was too powerful, and many people followed him because of helplessness. This was a forced position.

They can re-take the team, as long as the empress gives them a chance.

therefore.

Simply put, although the step of breaking the elixir to raise soldiers cannot make the empress turn the tables directly, it is a key part of the turn.

This is the Empress's hope. Since she learned that Kang Longji was about to fail, the Empress has been very depressed. The appearance of the Broken Pill can be said to have ignited the fire of hope in her heart again.

"...General Su, you don't need to be worried. You are my confidant general. I sent Zhou An to supervise the military just to facilitate the affairs. It is not a doubt with you. Please be content with peace of mind. After the matter is completed, Zhou An's supervise will be removed..." The empress talked to Su Cheng's national highway.

In fact, she didn't need to say this. The meeting had been going on for more than half an hour. Her intention to make Zhou An a supervisor of the Tiance Army was already very clear.

But she still said that she just didn't want any unnecessary trouble.

"The Master needs no more words, I will understand! The Master will do my best to cooperate with Eunuch Zhou and live up to the Master's entrustedness." Su Chengguo said with his fists.

"Well, okay!" The empress nodded and glanced at her again, "There are all loyal ministers and generals here. It is just around the corner to eliminate Wu Xukuan's treason! I feel no comfort!"

The empress, who had not slept all night, seemed very excited and not tired at all at this time.

"Everyone... have any other opinions, but I can tell me." The empress asked again.

Now that things have been discussed, I have already said almost everything I should say.

Everyone was speechless.

"Then today..." the empress spoke again.

"Master!" Zhou An didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly took a step forward and said respectfully, "I have an idea, I don't know whether to say it or not." After saying this, he glanced at Kang Longji behind the empress.

"Just say it just." The empress said.

"I think that the grandfather is in bad health, so I can take the initiative to reveal it..." Zhou Andao.
Chapter completed!
