Zhou An left the palace and came to the Dongchang Yamen.

He has too much to do, mainly to catch people.

Li Guangshan was responsible for conquering the Chuanhe Army, while Kang Longji would not leave the palace until his death. Zhou An's mission was to cooperate with Yuan Shengshi to capture the important officials and generals who had followed Wu Xukuan, whether they were fleeing or waiting for death at home!

The martial law has been imposed in the capital.

The turmoil remains the same!

After all, most of the soldiers and horses in the capital were Wu Xukuan. Although most of these soldiers and horses have surrendered now, some of them have escaped, and in this part, the proportion of generals at all levels accounts for a very high level.

The soldiers at the bottom do not need to run.

The Empress really let them go without blame.

It's just that they will be broken up and reorganized, and they will be transferred, and the soldiers will still be soldiers! But the generals, or the management, will almost be washed away by blood, because this blood swamp is inevitable that there are too many people who resist.

Of course, there are also some stubborn soldiers who are stubborn, who are driven by the generals who are about to escape and flee.

However, this is still a minority.

After all, the empress said that she would not blame her for the past and would not have anything to do if she didn't run away. If she ran away, she would rebel and would be punished by the nine clans.

Most of the soldiers who work in the capital are also working in the capital.

The existence of relatives will affect their decisions.

The chaos lasted for another whole day.

However, it's much better than at night before.

...

Late at night, Zhou An returned to the palace.

Zhou An could not remember how many people were arrested by the Dongchang and Jinyiwei on this day. Because some people were implicated, Zhou An only remembers the main ones and the unimportant ones, so he would not remember them.

However, Zhou An remembered how many people he ordered to execute directly.

There will be more than a thousand people!

This is actually just a small number.

After the turmoil in the capital is completely over, at least tens of thousands of people will be executed! If Wu Xukuan's followers are completely eliminated and a nationwide purge will be launched, then at least more than 100,000 people will die.

I don’t know how many people will be killed in the nine clans.

Ganwu Palace.

The lights are brightly lit.

When Zhou An came to report, Kang Longji, Gao Hong, Su Chengguo and others were all there, and Yuan Shengshi came first before Zhou An, but Li Guangshan was not there because he had already taken people outside the city to solve the problem of the Chuanhe Army.

After everyone reported it, it was the second midnight.

The empress did not say anything to Zhou An alone.

Kanglongi didn't say anything to Zhou An alone.

After Zhou An reported, he returned to Ning'an Garden.

...

In the Ning'an Garden Hall, only candlelight was lit on the table, and most of the space in the hall was shrouded in darkness.

Zhou An entered the door and saw the Virgin Land of the Pure Land sitting at the table.

She had previously raised the table and the food was spilled all over the floor, but now she could not see it, so she was naturally completely cleaned up. The Virgin Land Madon was sitting at the table drinking tea. Zhou An entered the door. She glanced at Zhou An, then withdrew her gaze, with a expressionless face.

Zhou An is about to rest.

I haven't slept for two days and one night and I have to rest.

He took off his outer robe and threw it on the screen, then went to the bed, pulled the quilt and lay down directly, and closed his eyes.

silence.

It's been a long time.

The Virgin Land Madonna sat at the table without moving, holding the teacup in her hand, but she didn't pick it up. She didn't move for a long time, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Zhou An opened his eyes and stared at it in a daze.

I couldn't sleep.

Both of them were worried. The Virgin Land Madonna was considering the matter of life and death, but in fact, what Zhou An was thinking about was also about life and death.

The last sentence before Wu Xukuan's death really affected him.

It’s not that Wu Xukuan’s words would prompt Zhou An to rebel. Zhou An did not have that idea. He finally defeated Wu Xukuan and Kang Longji was about to die. Zhou An was about to dominate the world. Why did he rebel?

But what would Kang Longji think? Will he think Zhou An will rebel? Even if he doesn't do anything about it, will he say something to the empress? What would the empress think?

Zhou An did not have the "foundation" of Kanglongji. He assisted four generations of emperors. Although he had betrayed Emperor Xuanzong, he also assisted him with all his heart when Emperor Xuanzong was in power, and he had never betrayed this dynasty.

Zhou An is different. His loyalty has not been tested by time.

Zhou An had no choice before, because with Wu Xukuan, Zhou An could only choose to take sides and fight Wu Xukuan to the end!

But now, Wu Xukuan is dead.

Kanglongi is going to die too.

Zhou An will lose the checks and balances.

Without external forces, Zhou An’s decision will no longer affect Zhou An’s decision. Whether Zhou An is loyal will depend entirely on his own ideas.

These are not Zhou An’s ideas.

But others will think so.

Wu Xukuan is harmful to others!

Zhou An didn't know if he was thinking too much, but he had to think clearly that it was not a joke to accompany the king as a tiger. In which period of all dynasties did not kill meritorious officials? Zhou An had to consider the possibility of "killing the donkey" happening.

In fact, this was also Wu Xukuan reminding Zhou An.

When a minister has too much power, it will inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion.

The rights that Zhou An is about to obtain can be said to be unprecedentedly great. No matter how great Kanglongki's rights are, they are still subject to checks and balances by civil servants. They are either whatever he says or whatever! Similarly, no matter how great the civil servants' rights are, there is a Kanglongki in the inner court, and Kanglongki still holds the right to criticize the winners, and the two sides are mutually restricted.

Zhou An was not subject to any restrictions.

After Kang Longji's death, he will be the number one hero in eradicating the treacherous party group, and he will inevitably handle the reconstruction of the court. His words and deeds will affect the court. Even if Zhou An does a little too much, he can become the "establishment of an emperor."

Will the empress have any ideas about it?

Perhaps, the Empress wouldn't have any idea at first.

But if Conlongi said something to the empress before his death, it would not be certain.

"What a pity! What a pity! If I could grow out now, how could I have such troubles?" Zhou An knew that he was thinking too much. After all, many things had not happened yet, and it might not even happen.

But he has no choice but to think about his current position.

And he also knew the ultimate solution to the problem.

Of course, it is to "marry" the empress!

Everything will be solved because of this!

If the empress has a child and is made the crown prince, the empress will never worry again. Zhou An will rebel, and Zhou An will not worry about the empress doing what he will do to him. The power of the Wu family will still be continued!

"Grow out, grow out, grow out..." Zhou An thought to himself.

Zhou An has always had many ways to grow, but they are all difficult and only possible.

For Zhou An now, the most likely way to grow up is to practice martial arts in external ways to break through Tiangang.

Normal external cultivation of Tiangang Realm will gain the ultimate self-healing ability.

Zhou An has already obtained the ultimate self-healing ability in the Earth Evil Realm.

This is because "Gang Body Technique" is an immortal martial art, so it is more advanced than the martial arts in this world in terms of effect.

According to this logic, we can continue to speculate.

Once Zhou An practices externally and achieves the body of Tiangang, he is likely to gain a higher level of ability than the limit self-healing ability, and he is reborn with broken limbs! This is the hope that Zhou An grows.

Squeak!

The sound of the chair moving suddenly rang.

It was the Virgin Land Virgin by the table who stood up.

Zhou An tilted his head and looked at the Holy Mother of Pure Land.

The Virgin Land Madonna turned her back to Zhou An, picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all. With a "true" sound, she turned around and walked to the bed to stop.

Cold and faint eyes looked at Zhou An lying on the bed.
Chapter completed!
