The hall was quiet again.

Wu Xukuan frowned.

Lu Lian's face was stunned for a moment. He didn't react at all. He moved his mouth and wanted to ask Zhou An why he could criticize him, but he immediately thought of... Zhou An was the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor!

This is not Zhou An’s main identity now. Zhou An’s most important identity now, and his first impression is the admiral of the East Factory! He relied on this identity to get on the front line against Wu Xukuan.

The second is the eunuch who is the Silijian.

Although everyone knows this identity, it is easy to be ignored.

Of course, Lu Lian knew that Zhou An was the eunuch of the Silijian, but this had nothing to do with today's plan. The most critical link in Lu Lian's impeachment of Kang Longji was who criticized the memorial? If the plan was successfully implemented, the empress would personally admit that it was her.

Even if it doesn't go well, the empress reacted and refused to admit that it was criticized by herself, and the blame should also fall on Kang Longji.

Anyway, no matter what the result is, the empress will bear stigma.

Lu Lian never thought that someone would jump out and completely disrupt the plan.

Because Zhou An jumped out too suddenly and was too anxious to speak out in a verbal battle, he really subconsciously ignored it... Zhou An is the eunuch of the Silijian!

In fact, Zhou An was the eunuch who could really represent the empress to criticize the winner. Kang Longji was the eunuch in charge of seals. He was responsible for the secondary review and the sealing.

The person who reviews memorials and writes the comments is either the emperor or the eunuch who writes the memorials.

So Zhou An said that he approved the memorial, and there was no problem at all!

Now that Zhou An takes things into his own hands, it is extremely dangerous for him personally, but he has successfully removed the Empress and Kang Longji. It doesn’t make much sense to talk about whether Kang Longji has reviewed the seal or whether the Empress knows it.

Because the only key is who is the person who criticizes the memorial.

The Baijiang Army's mutiny and rebellion must be blamed on this person, and it can only be blamed in this way.

Lu Lian didn't say anything for a while, and his thoughts turned sharply. Although he immediately thought that since Zhou An took the matter on him, he could open fire on Zhou An and mess with him, what's the point of doing this? This is not in line with Wu Xukuan's plan purpose. Lu Lian must help Wu Xukuan achieve his goal, otherwise the matter would be ruined.

"What? Is it mute?" Zhou An stared at Lu Lian and said lightly, "Master Lu, aren't you very good at saying it just now? Why don't you say it? Didn't you say it, do you say everything you said is true? I insisted that the memorial was criticized by the Grand Chief. Now our family told you that the memorial was criticized by our family... You intend to blame the rebellion of Baijiang Army on the Grand Chief. What is it not slander? What is it not a traitor in front of the saint? This is a death penalty, do you know?"

"You! You are squirting with blood! You, you collude with each other!"

Lu Lian was so excited that he almost jumped up. He couldn't be unhappy. If he didn't understand this, he would be the one who died the most!

It is already terrifying to slander the Marquis and the First-Class ministers. What is even more terrifying is to make trouble in front of the emperor. If Lu Lian is given a charge of bewitching the emperor's desperation of loyalty and kindness, he will be killed by the nine clans!

Lu Lian's hands were trembling with excitement. He pointed at Zhou An, then Kang Longji, and pointed back and forth.

"You are colluding with each other! You! Zhou An is the lackey of Kang Longji. You are afraid that Kang Longji will take responsibility, so you jumped out and said it was you, it must be!" Lu Lian seemed to have found the correct idea.

He seemed excited, but in fact he was very calm, because he knew that the memorial was criticized by the empress, but he didn't mention it. He didn't dare to say it. As long as the empress denied it, he could directly ask someone to cut him down! In this court, Wu Xukuan dared to do it, but Lu Lian did not dare to do it.

However, the correct way of thinking is useless.

"The remittance of the Ministry of Revenue involves a total of 5.6 million taels of silver, of which one million taels are used for the Baijiang Army to repair the camp, and one million taels are used for the 400,000 Zhongzhou soldiers to buy winter clothes, and repair the other three battalions. A total of 1 million taels are required. Replacing old weapons requires 600,000 taels. In addition, buying back food and grass for the Chuanhe Army requires 800,000 taels... There are some fragmentary expenses, which are totaled 300,000 taels. Our family will not elaborate on them one by one. Do we still want our family to continue talking about it? Are you questioning our family's memory?"

Zhou An had really good memory, and he not only read the comment, but also knew what the empress had criticized.

As long as Lu Lian is willing, he can say it.

Lu Lian was criticized again and had nothing to say.

This matter is hard to explain. Zhou An insisted that he had criticized the memorial, so it would be difficult for Lu Lian to bring the problem back to the Empress or Kang Longji.

One thing worth mentioning is that in Dongqian, eunuchs can use the word "Zi" instead of the emperor's comments, and they may even imitate the emperor in their handwriting.

Just because it's a substitute!

The eunuchs criticize memorials instead of the emperor, representing the emperor, and to a certain extent, they are "impersonating" the emperor. This kind of impersonation is allowed by the emperor. In terms of law, only the emperor can criticize memorials. The emperor is too busy or lazy to be able to be criticized.

It is because of some historical reasons that the eunuchs in the Silijian gradually gained the right to criticize the memorials.

This matter has a lot of disadvantages, but this is not the problem of Empress Shen Zhao. After all, this can be regarded as a "tradition". If you really pursue it, you may have to investigate it more than two hundred years ago, but who dares to attack the ancestors of all dynasties?

Therefore, Lu Lian could not attack the empress on this issue, and he did not dare to question why the empress gave the right to review memorials to the eunuch.

From the memorial itself, no matter who criticizes the memorial, it is in the tone of the emperor. From this point of view, Lu Lian can no longer deny it at present, and the memorial was approved by Zhou An.

Quiet.

Lu Lian's eyes flashed.

"Okay! It turns out it's you! It's really you!" Lu Lian suddenly shouted again, "You dare to say that I am a traitor. I think you are! You are ashamed of the emperor and even more ashamed of the world... Since the memorial was criticized by you, then Baijiang Army rebelled because of you..."

This guy has no choice but to go this way and impeach Zhou An!

Compared with impeachment of Kang Longji, although impeachment of Zhou An is very useful, it is far less effective than impeachment of Kang Longji. Although Zhou An is very important to the empress, no one can deny Zhou An's ability.

But the most important purpose of impeaching Zhou An is likely to be impossible.

It is difficult to make the empress stigmatize.

Because everyone knows that Kanglongi is the "guardian saint" of the empress, so whether from the emotional level or from the interest level, the empress will die in the death of Kanglongi.

Zhou An is different.

If the responsibility is all on Zhou An, Zhou An is irrefutable, then the empress only needs to cut off Zhou An to break the deadlock!
