"Master!" Zhou An rarely raised his head when talking to the empress. At this moment, he looked up at the empress, "I think the assassin should be executed publicly!"

"Public execution?" The empress pondered for a moment and paced back and forth: "If this is done, the Pure Land Sect will probably send masters to the robbery of the Dharma field. If such chaos occurs in the capital again..."

"Master, what you want is their robbery of the Dharma!" Zhou Anlian said, "If it is in chaos, we will cut the chaotic knot quickly. This assassin is the young master of the Pure Land Sect. The people who come to save him will definitely not have low strength and status. As long as you can capture a few more demons from the Pure Land Sect alive, you will definitely get new gains!"

The empress paced back and forth, thought for a while, then turned her head and looked at Zhou An and asked, "How do you ensure that other people from the Pure Land Buddhism can prove Wu Xukuan?"

This is the key!

There is no guarantee that this is too risky. The public execution of the young master of the Pure Land Buddhism. If it was in a peaceful and prosperous era, the court would not take the Pure Land Buddhism seriously. However, the situation is special now. If there is a chaos in the capital, I am afraid that it will give Wu Xukuan an excuse to do something wrong again.

"Master, I saw the assassin's memory and learned a lot."

"explain!"

"The assassin is named Cao Jing, and he is indeed the young master of the Pure Land Sect. He is now thirty-three years old, with a wife and a daughter. The assassination of His Highness Yun Jing this time was led by Dong Kui, the young master of the Qingyi in Pure Land Sect. Dong Kui was the perfect assassin who ran away that day. Cao Jing and nearly 50 Pure Land Sect Assassins entered Ganjing three days before the assassination happened. Someone in Ganjing responded to them and gave them the latest defense map in the imperial city before they launched the assassination."

"This person who handed over the Dawei defense map to Dongkui was Li Hubiao, the commander of the Xicheng Imperial Army! He not only gave the Dawei defense map to the Pure Land Sect, but also told many things that need to be paid attention to when sneaking into the Dawei, which are all about experience."

When Zhou An mentioned the name Li Hubiao, the empress's face changed slightly.

Because she knew that Li Hubiao was Wu Xukuan's confidant!

A few days ago, when Zhou An reported Sun Deyou and Gu Huaiyong secretly discussed the rebellion, he also mentioned Li Hubiao. Li Hubiao had secretly sneaked into the palace and discussed with Gu Huaiyong and Sun Deyou about smuggling weapons into the palace!

Zhou An first discovered that the person who sneaked into the palace was Li Hubiao!

Now, Zhou An knew that it was Li Hubiao who gave the assassin of the Pure Land Sect to the inner defense map!

This is no coincidence!

There is a great necessity!

Because Li Hubiao is the bond between Wu Xukuan and Gu Huaiyong, it is difficult for the two to meet in person. During this special period, Gu Huaiyong did not dare to leave the palace without authorization, so someone needed to sneak into the palace to meet him. This person was Li Hubiao!

Li Hubiao must have sneaked into Da Nei more than once. He knew Da Nei and knew best how to sneak in so that he would not be discovered.

It is not difficult for a person to sneak into the big house alone, and it is sufficiently strong!

But dozens of people sneak into the home, and it is absolutely impossible without understanding the guidance of someone!

Li Hubiao is the sensible person!

Therefore, it was the Pure Land assassin who he responded to, who gave the Pure Land Sect a defense map and told them how a group of people could sneak into the big inside without being discovered.

Without Li Hubiao's guidance, the dozens of people in the Pure Land Sect, except for the three Earthly Evil Realms that might not be discovered before the assassination, those dead men in the innate realm would definitely be discovered.

"Sage, Li Hubiao is Wu Xukuan's man. This is not a secret. Not only do the civil and military officials in the court know it. Even if he goes to the city gate tower now to ask, he will know it!" Zhou An said again, "So, although the Pure Land Sect has not directly contacted Wu Xukuan, nor has he met directly, as long as the evidence of their contact with Li Hubiao can be found and made public, everyone in the world will know it. The commander behind the scenes is Wu Xukuan!"

"Well..." The empress nodded slowly, "It's reasonable!"

"Xiao Anzi, do you want to set up a net of heaven and earth in the Dharma field, catch a few more Pure Land assassins, and find evidence of contact with Li Hubiao through them?" The empress looked at Zhou An and asked.

"Not only that, Master!" Zhou An replied immediately, "As long as you release the wind and let the Pure Land Cult know that the court wants to kill Cao Jing publicly, the Pure Land Cult must immediately send someone to contact Li Hubiao, wanting to know the details from him! Therefore, the opportunity is not only in the Dharma field!"

"Well..." The empress pondered again, paced back and forth, and had not spoken for a long time.

She is weighing the pros and cons, and it is difficult to make a decision easily!

Because the negative impact is too great, it would be fine if there is a harvest, but I am afraid there is no harvest.

Moreover, according to past practice, if Ouchi catches an assassin, he will not be executed publicly. He will be executed secretly after interrogation, because the royal family is considering reducing the impact. Ouchi was infiltrated by the assassin for assassination, but public execution will only expand the impact.

"Xiao Anzi, have you ever considered it?" The empress looked at Zhou An again, "If the assassin was publicly executed, what if the Pure Land Sect won't come to the robbery of the Dharma field?"

"There is no such possibility, Master!" Zhou An asserted, "This is an open conspiracy. Even if the Pure Land Sect knows that this is a net of heaven and earth arranged by the court, they will crash into it head-on, because for them, no matter whether the victory or defeat of the Dharma field is successful, they will also be beaten out without fear of the court's reputation. For the Pure Land Sect, it will make their believers more loyal, and if they succeed, they will be very famous!"

After Zhou An finished speaking, the empress was still thinking about it.

Zhou An slowed down his spirit and said, "The Master, those people in the Pure Land Buddhism, to put it bluntly, are all from the martial arts world. They despise the royal power and have no taboos. For them, the Dharma field is not only something that can be done, but also something that is necessary, because the young masters of the Pure Land Buddhism who were arrested! If they don't even save the young masters, it will only make their ordinary scholars feel heartbroken, so they will inevitably kill the Dharma field!"

"Well..." The empress slowly made a nasal sound, but suddenly sneered: "A man from Jianghu! What a man from Jianghu!"

Zhou An lowered his head and waited for the empress's reply.

"Kang Gong, what do you think?" the empress looked at Kang Longji and asked.

She is still growing up. Since she ascended the throne, she has been learning to be an emperor. Kang Longji is her mentor. For her, Zhou An’s 100 words are not as useful as Kang Longji’s one sentence.

"Xiao Anzi's plan is good." Kanglongi commented.

"Okay!" The empress turned around and said with her hands behind her back: "Then do it like this! Gao Hong, it's up to you..."

"Your Majesty!" Zhou An suddenly knelt down and interrupted the Empress's words.

The empress frowned and looked at Zhou An.

"I asked the prisoner to kill Cao Jing! Please allow the emperor to allow him!" Zhou An kowtowed.

He wants to be executed!

The empress stared at Zhou An and narrowed her eyes slightly. She noticed some of Zhou An's thoughts, but she could not see through them completely.

"Xiao Anzi, do you know that this matter is dangerous?" The empress asked. The plan was said by Zhou An, but the empress wanted Gao Hong to execute it because it was too dangerous. She killed Cao Jing and the Pure Land Sect. When the fight broke out, the prison officer would be the first to be attacked and killed by the Pure Land Sect!

As the commander of the Shen Ce Army, Gao Hong is one of the eight great inner commanders and a powerful person in the perfect realm of the Earth Demon, who is enough to deal with this situation.

The Pure Land Buddhism did not even dare to attack Gao Hong because they knew that the possibility of directly attacking Gao Hong and killing him was extremely low!

But if someone else was replaced... it would be dead!

Zhou An’s current claim to the outside world is only the lower-grade Earth Evil Realm.

"I am willing to go through fire and water for the emperor, and be fearless!" Zhou An kowtowed again.

Showing loyalty and flattery, Zhou An became more and more skilled.

He knew very well the danger of killing Cao Jing, but he wanted to climb up, he wanted to make contributions, he wanted to achieve his goal of becoming the next Kang Longji, and he had to make efforts! Zhou An had tried his best to protect Princess Yunjing's life and had already gained all the trust of the empress.

The empress believes in Xiao Anzi's loyalty, but if you want to climb up, loyalty alone is not enough. You must have the ability!

In this big house, there are many old eunuchs who are both loyal and powerful. There are a few who often follow Kang Longji, all of whom are old eunuchs in the Earth Evil Realm. There are also some eunuchs like them in the whole big house. Although they have a high status, there are very few who really hold real power!

Zhou An’s goal is not to be a loyal thug in the future!

So he not only needs to show loyalty, but also shows his ability to do things!

One thing worth mentioning is that after the assassination of Princess Yunjing, those who have made contributions to protecting the emperor that night were rewarded!

Gao Hong had the most rewards, and he did play an extremely important role that night. If he hadn't happened to have a barbecue with Zhou An in Xichun Palace and stopped Dongkui, the young master of the Pure Land Sect who had a perfect realm of Earth Evil, Dongkui would have entered Xichun Palace. At that time, Zhou An would not be able to stop him even if he tried his best, and Princess Yunjing would have died.

However, the first contribution is still Zhou An!

However, Zhou An was not rewarded, and there was no reward. The empress seemed to have forgotten this. This was the third day after Zhou An woke up.

Zhou An felt that it might be because he was promoted too quickly before, so he quickly sat down to the position of the supervisor of the Zhidian and was also given a fourth-rank eunuch. If he gave him a reward, it would be difficult to give him a reward, and he would not have a suitable position to give him a promotion. It would be not appropriate to promote him to another level, so his reward was temporarily put on hold.

For Zhou An, the credit is accumulated, and he looks forward to the Empress’s next reward for him!

He wants to reach the sky in a real way!

So he is very urgent now. He offers advice and does it himself, even if it is extremely dangerous, he will not retreat. He wants to make meritorious contributions! He hopes that he can become one of the several eunuchs holding the power of the inner court next time he is rewarded!

Even, he wanted to directly replace Gu Huaiyong and be promoted to second-level manager!

Therefore, he fought hard!

The Qianyuan Hall was quiet, and the empress turned around and walked towards the pearl curtain, her steps were very light.

She glanced at Kanglongi.

Kanglongi didn't say anything, obviously letting her make her own decisions.

"Okay!" The empress walked back to the pearl curtain and turned around and sat down, "Xiao Anzi, I will order you as the special envoy of the imperial envoy, who is fully responsible for the matter of killing Cao Jing and luring the demons of the Pure Land Sect!"
Chapter completed!
