Ganwu Palace, Qianyuan Palace.

"Your Majesty, this is the list compiled by the slave based on Xue He's memory. Everyone on the list is involved in rebellion..." Zhou An knelt in front of the pearl curtain, holding the written list with both hands, and lifted it over his head.

Crazy...

The bead curtain swayed, but Kang Longji took out the curtain and walked out, picked up the list, but didn't look at it first, and returned to the empress and handed the list to the empress.

There was still someone standing respectfully beside Zhou An. It was Gao Hong. Before Zhou An presented the list, Gao Hong had already submitted Xue He's testimony.

The empress had already read the testimony, and now compared the testimony with the list listed by Zhou An.

Speaking of trust, the empress actually trusts Zhou An, but it is not absolute trust. After all, people have selfish intentions, so if Zhou An looks at the memories of others closely and tells the empress how it is. It is impossible for the empress to believe it all, but there is a different testimony and can prove it to each other.

"Xiao Anzi..." After a long time, the empress called out.

"Slave is here!" Zhou Andao.

"Speak closer." The empress said.

"Yes!" Zhou An took the order, got up immediately, lifted the curtain and walked into it, and walked to the empress in a small and fast manner. He wanted to kneel down again, but the empress raised her hand and signaled, "No!"

"Thank you, Master!" Zhou An said, and stood beside the empress.

Zhou An has not seen the empress’s true face for three years. Before, he always talked through the curtain when he saw the empress. Now, it is the first time he has seen the empress clearly in three years!

She has changed!

Three years ago, she was a fourteen-year-old girl with a gentle personality and a generous and dignified temperament.

At that time, she even gave the feeling that she was a kind elder sister next door. Her temperament was much better than Princess Yunjing. Although her martial arts talent was not as good as Princess Yunjing, her knowledge was not comparable to that of Princess Yunjing. She was well-read in poetry and books, and was able to participate in state affairs three years ago, sharing the worries of the seriously ill Empress of the Goddess at that time, and often expressed amazing opinions.

And now she has completely changed!

She inherited the supernatural appearance of the Emperor of God Capital when she was young, but also inherited the majesty of the Emperor of God Capital. Her demeanor when she frowned slightly was very similar to the former Emperor of God Capital. In her, there was no longer a gentle look, and there was only the solemn and solemnity that an emperor should have.

Obviously, she did not become like this naturally, but she had to take the initiative to become like this!

She knew three years ago that she wanted to ascend the throne and become the emperor!

So, her current changes can be said to be cultivated in the past three years!

It can be said that her ability to ascend the throne was somewhat accidental, but from the final result, this seems to be an inevitable one.

Emperor Shenzhao Wu Yunyi!

She was born in the 355th year of Kaiyuan calendar and was the eldest daughter of Emperor Gan Shizong of the Donggan Dynasty and Empress Xiaodun, who was in power at the time. Three years after Wu Yunyi was born, the 70-year-old Emperor Gan Shizong passed away. Empress Xiaodun, who was forty-eight, was in control of the government and deposed the crown prince Wu Yunsheng.

This Wu Yunsheng was not born by Empress Xiaodun, but by Empress Wen, the first empress of Emperor Gan Shizong, who was born by Empress Wen, who was only found after Empress Wen died of illness.

After abolishing the crown prince, Empress Xiaodu successfully ascended the throne!

Call it the Queen of Gods!

The second year after the Empress of the God Capital ascended the throne, that is, in the 369th year of Kaiyuan, the Empress of the God Capital appointed her eldest son Wu Yunzhuang as the crown prince in order to stabilize people's hearts.

Five years later.

In the 364th year of Kaiyuan, the "White Jade Case" incident caused a sensation in the world. Nearly 10,000 people were implicated in this case and their heads fell to the ground. Wuyunzhuang was also involved. The position of crown prince was deposed. The Empress of the God Capital appointed her as "King of Fengzhong" and exiled her to Fengliangzhou, a remote area in the south. She ordered her to return to the capital only every March every year when the Empress of the God Capital celebrated her birthday. She must stay in the fiefdom for the rest of the time and cannot leave Fengliangzhou.

In the same year, the Emperor of Goddess made her third son Wu Yunde the crown prince!

In the 365th year of Kaiyuan, Wu Yunzhao, the second son of the Emperor of God, who was devoted to the Buddha, left the Donggan Palace and went to the thousand-year-old ancient temple, Baiju Temple, to become a monk. He became the closed disciple of Master Miaoyan, the presidency of the White Jones Temple, known as the head of the four great masters. His Dharma name was "Qingwu". The Emperor of God was therefore named Master Miaoyan as the "Saintly Master of the Protecting the Country" and his second son, who had become a monk, was named "Master Yun'an Dade".

In the 368th year of Kaiyuan, the Empress of Shendu was seriously ill.

In the 369th year of Kaiyuan, three years ago, the prince Wu Yunde conspired to rebel and planned to seize the throne while the Empress of the God Capital was seriously ill. After the incident, Wu Yunde was ordered to be executed by the Empress of the God Capital!

It was in this year that the eldest princess Wu Yunyi was enthroned as the grand princess! Zhou An was originally Wu Yunyi's long-super, and he also left Wu Yunyi's side this year.

In the lifetime of the Emperor Shendu, she gave birth to five children, three men and two women for Emperor Shizong. If her sons were not worried, even if she had thought about the country after her death, she would not have allowed her eldest daughter to succeed the throne.

When she became the emperor, she naturally understood the hardship of a woman as an emperor! This is much harder than a man!

Therefore, it is accidental that Wu Yunyi ascended the throne and became emperor, but she is indeed the most outstanding among the five children of the Emperor Shendu and Emperor Shizong. This is true in terms of talent and virtue, so it seems that her ascendance to the throne was inevitable.

...

The hall was silent. Empress Shen Zhao called Zhou An into the pearl curtain and continued to look through the list of testimony and Zhou An, and was speechless for a long time.

Zhou An stood respectfully beside her, not daring to look directly at her face because it was disrespectful.

"Xiao Anzi, why are there two more people on your list?" Empress Shen Zhao, who was wearing a dragon robe and dressed in a relatively neutral dress, suddenly asked, turning her head to look at Zhou An.

"Master, are you talking about Zhou Huaisu and Xu Jing?" Zhou An said respectfully.

"Yes, what's wrong with them?" Empress Shen Zhao looked at Zhou An with a solemn expression.

"The reason why Xue He didn't confess these two people was because they had a direct relationship with Wu Xukuan, especially Zhou Huaisu, who was Wu Xukuan's distant nephew... Most of the people involved in the rebellion were instructed by Gu Huaiyong, and he only confessed that Gu Huaiyong was involved in the matter of rebellion... The slave felt that Xue He might be afraid that Gu Huaiyong would kill his family, so he did not dare to speak out for Gu Huaiyong and blamed Gu Huaiyong. If Gu Huaiyong confessed Wu Xukuan, it would have nothing to do with him." Zhou An added analysis of the situation, which was reasonable.

Everyone is afraid of Wu Xukuan!

The reason why those court officials obeyed Wu Xukuan was that some people wanted to rebel with Wu Xukuan and wanted to fight for a better future, while others were simply scared! If they didn’t fight with Wu Xukuan, Wu Xukuan had some ways to make his whole family die!

The Empress was speechless for a long time.

Zhou An noticed that her hand holding the list and testimony was slowly subconsciously exerting force, and her joints were wrinkled and her joints turned white.

Her heart was very uneasy.

"Xiao Anzi, thank you for your hard work!" The empress looked up again and actually smiled at Zhou An.

"The Master is a slave!" Zhou An immediately knelt down, "Slaves are not working hard, everything is what a slave should do!"

"Okay! OK! How great it would be if they were all as loyal as you!" The empress sighed and said majestic: "I passed on my oral instructions. This time, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the palace will be the first to be awarded a fourth-rank eunuch. From now on, Zhou An will be promoted to a fourth-rank eunuch, rewarding 100 taels of gold and thirty pieces of brocade, and giving her a waist sign in the Qianyuan Palace, allowing her to walk in front of the palace!"
