Chapter 181: Don't want to be greedy, Wu Xukuan will force it!
Wu Xukuan is "General"!
Zhou An suddenly realized one thing, that is, after all, Wu Xukuan's ultimate goal seems to be no longer Kang Longji or the Empress, but Zhou An! Of course, it can still involve the Empress, but it is mainly aimed at him!
Because at this time, Zhou An seemed to have only one road left to go!
Acknowledges mistakes and confesses guilt!
This is...
Zhou An stared at Wu Xukuan, and his expression gradually became subtle. In fact, he didn't want to take this step because he really didn't want to be greedy for merit, but Wu Xukuan was forcing him, and Wu Xukuan didn't give him any chance. He had to be greedy for merit if he didn't want to be greedy for me!
"That's right!" Zhou An spoke, "The letter was reviewed by the Grand Chief Executive for the second time. The Grand Chief Executive still felt that something was wrong. It was our family who convinced the Grand Chief Executive. As for the Supreme Master, our family has not reported it to the Supreme Master. Are you satisfied?"
Zhou An took away Kanglongi and the empress, and he wanted to take the blame alone!
"Did you admit it?" Wu Xukuan asked.
"What do you admit?" Zhou Xingsha asked back.
"The Baijiang Army rebelled because of hunger and cold. They were forced to rebel and wanted to seek justice from your eunuchs! As the eunuch in charge of the rituals, you hold the authority given by the emperor, but you deliberately make things difficult and act recklessly. Even though you know that the 400,000 Zhongzhou soldiers were frozen and hungry, they still didn't give a single tael of silver. The Baijiang Army rebelled because of you! You don't admit it yet?!" Wu Xukuan stepped forward and asked.
"Gemaster Wu, are you talking to Bai Jiangjun?" Zhou An also took a step forward.
"What? Are you trying to say that this marquis colluded with the Baijiang army? Do you have any evidence?!" Wu Xukuan asked immediately.
Wu Xukuan colluded with the Baijiang army and did not need evidence. No one in the court's civil and military affairs did not know. If he insisted on asking for evidence, Zhou An could also take it out, but... he couldn't take it!
When dealing with Wu Xukuan, you cannot use the method of treating Lu Lian.
The killing of Wu Xukuan is never lacking evidence. What is lacking is strength. If evidence is used, Wu Xukuan can be killed. The empress has done it long ago. But now, Zhou An cannot intensify the contradiction to that point. If he does not give Wu Xukuan a way out, it is equivalent to not giving the empress a way out. Wu Xukuan will rebel!
"This is not the case for our family. Master Wu Ge, you misunderstood!" Zhou Anlian said, "What our family means is that you speak for Bai Jiangjun, but there is evidence? You said that Bai Jiangjun rebelled because of hunger and cold. Do you have evidence?"
"Baijiang Army declared so much!" Wu Xukuan said.
"Is it true that they claim so?"
"How can you prove that it is false?! Rebellion requires beheading! If the 100,000 Baijiang Army had not been forced to rebel, why would they rebel? If they were not cold and hungry and were almost out of their way, what else could they have?"
Because what?
Because Wu Xukuan!
But Zhou An could not say that it was instructed by Wu Xukuan. He said that the empress would also reject it, otherwise it would be irreversible and could only start a war and fight to the death.
The hall was quiet for a while.
Zhou An took two steps down the steps. He was already a little impatient just now, but now he has returned to calmness. He slowed down and said lightly: "Master Wu Ge, you said so much, don't you just want our family to take responsibility? Well! Our family tells you that our family is willing to be responsible for the rebellion of Baijiang Army!"
Zhou An admitted it!
"Responsible? Bai Jiang's army is about to attack outside the capital. What are you responsible for? Take the head of your neck?!" Wu Xu Kuansen said coldly. After asking this, he looked at the empress suddenly and bowed, "Master, you have heard that I want to impeach Zhou An, the eunuch of the Lijian Prison. Bai Jiang's army rebellion, and Zhou An rose up! Zhou An also admitted his guilt, and his crime was beyond redeemable! I believe that Zhou An should be immediately pushed out of the hall and beheaded!"
"This..." The empress looked at Zhou An hesitantly with a bad look on her face.
"Gei Master Wu, it's probably inappropriate to be so hasty..." said the empress, and she naturally wanted to protect Zhou An.
The empress covered up Zhou An, which was exactly what Wu Xukuan wanted!
"Old Master Wu, there are doubts about the reason for the rebellion of Baijiang Army. Why are you so anxious to kill our family? Our family said we should be responsible, but we are not going to die. Can we surrender if our family dies? If our family dies, the world will be peaceful?" Zhou An also spoke, his tone was indifferent and surprisingly calm.
Wu Xukuan glanced at Zhou An and immediately said to the empress: "Master, since you think you are hasty, then I have a way to kill Zhou An, which may not necessarily make Baijiang's army surrender. I think that Zhou An can be appointed as the special envoy of the imperial envoy to negotiate with Baijiang's army and explain the situation clearly to Baijiang's army. Since this matter arose because of Zhou An, Zhou An will resolve it! If Baijiang's army can surrender under Zhou An's persuasion, Zhou An will make up for his merits and will escape his death penalty!"
He still wants Zhou An to die!
From Wu Xukuan's perspective, if Zhou An really goes to Baijiang Army, he will definitely die!
Moreover, this will not affect the subsequent whitewashing of the Baijiang army, because the one who killed Zhou An may not be the Baijiang army. As soon as Zhou An leaves the capital, he will probably usher in endless assassination! Even if he can arrive safely and come out on his way back, the road will be full of ambush.
The empress has rejected Wu Xukuan once, but she is not afraid of rejecting him for the second time.
Otherwise, this name of "covering up" would be really confirmed!
But Wu Xukuan still hopes that the empress will protect Zhou An!
This is the greatest benefit to him!
"This..." The empress hesitated again.
"Gemaster Wu, if you want our family to die, just say, why do you have to do this?" Zhou An said.
"Since you are responsible for this, how can you say that you die? Or are you greedy for life and fear death? How lighter and more serious are your life and death compared to the country?" Wu Xukuan asked repeatedly.
"Of course, the country is the most important thing!" Zhou Anlian said, "But since our family has said that we have been responsible, we have already taken the responsibility method. You think that the Baijiang army's rebellion is because of our family, but our family does not agree with it! Our family is skeptical about the reasons for the Baijiang army's rebellion. Therefore, what our family said is to find out the truth. At the same time, our family will also find a way to make the Baijiang army surrender to the court again. Our family can make a military order here. If our family cannot find out the truth and return its innocence, if we cannot make the Baijiang army surrender to the court again, our family will be willing to die by Lingchi!"
Zhou An really doesn’t want to be so greedy for me, it’s all Wu Xukuan’s forced!
"You are here to find out the truth? Are you here to persuade Bai Jiang's army to surrender? Ha! A joke! What a big tone!" Wu Xukuan was really angry and laughed. He felt that this was Zhou An's delaying plan.
"Mr. Wu Ge, before the matter is clear, you have to give our family a chance? You said that the Baijiang army rebelled because our family did not give money, which made them forced to rebel because of cold and hunger. But you have no evidence! Our family believes that the Baijiang army rebelled was other reasons, and there was no evidence, and there was no evidence. Since it was doubtful! Is it okay if our family wants to prove their innocence now?"
Wu Xukuan's face was calm and he pondered for a moment and shouted: "Okay! Since you said that, then I will not wrong you! However, if you want to prove your innocence and promise to let the Baijiang army surrender, there must be a deadline! The Baijiang army is about to fight outside the city. How long do you think you will take?"
"It's OK today." Zhou Andao.
"Today?" Wu Xukuan was stunned. If Zhou An said ten or eight days, it would be a delaying plan. Three or five days would be considered a dying struggle, but Zhou An actually said today!
Zhou An looked at Wu Xukuan and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.
Chapter completed!
