Li Guangshan... It is naturally impossible to be a disciple of Zhou An.

At most, the two of them are just friends who are ungrateful. Li Guangshan is not a pedantic person. He will not look down on Zhou An because he is an eunuch. Zhou An cured his legs. This move can even be called "recreational grace" for Li Guangshan. Li Guangshan was naturally very grateful.

But even so, Li Guangshan could not be called Zhou An's brother, but he could not become a brother of a different surname.

If Zhou An was a hero in the martial arts world or a general in the army, Li Guangshan might be able to really become a disciple of Zhou An.

But Zhou An is not.

He is a close minister of the emperor, a eunuch in the inner court's rituals, and a man from the east factory. With such an identity, if he makes friends with Li Guangshan too deeply, it will harm both sides. No emperor could like the people around him and collude with court officials in this way.

It is impossible for Li Guangshan to not understand this principle.

So he was so excited that he called his brother and his brother, but it was impossible for him to be brothers with Zhou An.

"Old coach, our family can understand your mood, but don't lose your identity, don't ruin our family anymore." Zhou An said, his posture was very low.

"I can't call you brothers anymore? How about calling you benefactor?" Li Guangshan glared.

"I dare not, don't dare, Lao Shuai, please stop joking. If you really want to thank you, it is time to thank the emperor. Our family came on behalf of the emperor. It is the right thing to do if you go and thank the emperor for your kindness." Zhou An directly brought the topic back to the empress.

Li Guangshan cannot refute Zhou An's words.

He deserves to thank him!

"Okay! Brother Zhou said so well!" Li Guangshan nodded, "Then I will go to the palace to meet the saint. As long as the saint still thinks that my old bones are useful, I will do my best to help the saint eliminate the traitor!"

"Old coach, don't worry first. Our family will arrange your own arrangements for your entry into the palace, but it still needs to be slowed down..."

Zhou An officially began to talk to Li Guangshan.

He wanted to tell Li Guangshan something that matters about the current court's openly and secretly and the overall situation. Many things Li Guangshan didn't know. What Li Guangshan could know before were all openly news. After all, he really didn't care about the matter. He could know what others knew, but he wouldn't know what others didn't know.

Zhou An wants to tell him a lot of insider information.

How the empress prepared the arrangements and what secret news they knew could be told to Li Guangshan.

In this way, when Li Guangshan entered the palace to face the holy, he could discuss with the empress. Otherwise, the empress could not personally talk about all the big and small matters with Li Guangshan and then discuss with Li Guangshan.

Those things are endless in a while.

Therefore, Zhou An talked with Li Guangshan first, including the matter of breaking the pill, Zhou An talked with Li Guangshan.

He didn't hide anything from Li Guangshan.

There is no need. Regardless of whether Li Guangshan will rebel in the future, Li Guangshan is worthy of absolute trust at this moment, and Zhou An does not think that Li Guangshan will betray. Judging from Li Guangshan's current attitude and Li Guangshan's character, he cannot rebel.

There is no doubt that once Li Guangshan enters the palace to meet the saint, he will immediately become the most important aide around the empress and the most powerful official who relies on the most... Li Guangshan does not have real power now, but the empress will definitely give it to him!

Li Guangshan's power can even be said to be able to return to the peak of that year directly!

The Empress did not hide anything from Li Guangshan.

Zhou An is naturally unnecessary.

From Zhou An's perspective, he also needs to establish a good relationship with Li Guangshan.

At present, Kanglongi is in a semi-retired state. He is almost dead and cannot handle too many things in his energy. Apart from protecting the Empress's safety, he can only let go of other things until he dies.

In the inner court, Kanglongi was already handing over power to Zhou An, gradually transitioning various authority in the inner court to Zhou An step by step.

As long as Kanglongi dies, Zhou An will completely replace Kanglongi and become the chief manager of the inner court!

However, Zhou An replaced Kanglongi's position, not status!

No one can replace Kanglongi's status. I'm afraid there will never be a character like Kanglongi again around the Empress. Kanglongi is a legend! No one can deserve his position in the Empress's heart!

Therefore, in Zhou An's foreseeable future... he knew that he would be on par with Li Guangshan for a long time, with an internal minister and an external minister tied together, perhaps only then could he compare Kang Longji's weight in the empress's heart.

Zhou An and Li Guangshan had a two-hour secret conversation.

When the two started to talk about the main business, Li Ping and Xu Kaitai were naturally driven away.

Only two people knew what the two talked about.

*******

At dusk.

It was getting dark and it was almost night.

Zhou An, who had been in the Duke of Shengguo's mansion for an afternoon, finally came out, but he did not let Xu Kaitai come out with him. He came out alone through the side door, and there was an alley outside the door.

Zhou An changed into a black robe that was not very fit, so the robe was naturally what Li Guangshan wanted, because the black robe before was stained with blood, so Zhou An didn't want anyone to pay attention to it.

After walking out of the alley alone, he entered a back street, passed through the back street, and entered an alley. He turned around and knocked on the door and entered a family. There were sedan chairs parked in the yard, and Xiaotingzi and others were also here.

"Oh, factory, you are back. The emperor is urgently summoning you to the palace." When the little pavilion saw Zhou An, he screamed a little.

The people in the courtyard, except for Xiaotingzi, were eunuchs from the East Factory, and they didn’t need to avoid them when they said this.

"Hmm? How long has it been?" Zhou An looked at Xiaotingzi and frowned and asked.

"It's almost an hour." Xiaotingzi said.

Zhou An came to the Duke of Shengguo's Mansion in secret, first riding a horse, then changing into a sedan chair, and finally walking... Xiaotingzi and others kept guarding this yard, waiting for Zhou An to come back.

Just an hour ago, news came from the East Factory that the Empress looked for Zhou An, but the news could not be delivered to Zhou An, and at most it could only be delivered to Xiaotingzi.

Xiaotingzi couldn't find Zhou An either!

Because Zhou An had ordered that unless Wu Xukuan rebels or the empress is assassinated, he must not go to him, no one can get close to Duke Shengguo's mansion, no one can call the door, and no one can force himself to make trouble.

Even if the empress summoned Zhou An, it would not work!

Zhou An said this to death, so Xiaotingzi didn't dare to find Zhou An.

The reason why Zhou An ordered this was because he didn't want to leak the news, and he could never let people know. He came to Li Guangshan! This matter was too sensitive! Even now, Zhou An still didn't want people to know.

Before Li Guangshan actually came out of the mountain, this matter must be concealed as much as possible, which is a top secret!

...

When Zhou An hurriedly returned to the palace, it was already dark.

It's already night.

Ganwu Palace.

Zhou An was in a hurry. As soon as he arrived outside the Qianyuan Hall gate, the door of Qianyuan Hall opened. Gao Hong, Yuan Shengshi, Su Chengguo and others all walked out of the hall. It seemed that they had also been summoned, but they didn't know what was going on.

And now, the secret meeting seems to have been completed, and Zhou An has just returned.

Both Yuan Shengshi and Su Chengguo nodded to Zhou An and said, as a greeting. Gao Hong hurriedly pulled Zhou An aside and whispered in a low voice: "Why did you come back? The emperor is so angry."

"Uh... well... something happened." Zhou An could only say this and asked again immediately, "What happened?"

"Yes..." Gao Hong lowered his voice, but he had not had time to finish.

"But Xiao Anzi is back? Get in for me!!!" The roar of the empress sounded in Qianyuan Palace.

It's really a roar!

It can be heard that the empress’s mentality is explosive!

"Get in quickly!" Gao Hong didn't dare to say anything more, patted Zhou An on the shoulder, gave Zhou An a look of self-seeking blessings, and then left in a hurry.
Chapter completed!
