On the high platform, whether it was the sitting empress or Kanglongi standing halfway up the stairs, her face changed color at this moment.

But they didn't say anything because they didn't believe that Zhou An was Wu Xukuan's man.

If so, with Zhou An’s current understanding of the inner court, he is enough to cooperate with Wu Xukuan with the inside and outside to completely control the inner court. It doesn’t take today’s work, but Wu Xukuan can control the empress.

Zhou An is Wu Xukuan's man, and from any perspective, it cannot be explained.

But what he said now really seemed to be helping Wu Xukuan.

Wu Xukuan also had a wrong expression. The civil and military officials in the court looked at me one by one. I see you. What is this situation? What does Zhou An mean? Isn’t he the Empress’s person?

"Do you really have to ask one by one?" Wu Xukuan actually asked Zhou An because he felt something was wrong, but he really couldn't think of something wrong. The civil and military officials in the court really asked one by one. Wu Xukuan was absolutely confident. Needless to say, the old ministers standing there, no one dared to say that they were threatened as long as they kneel down.

"Yes, ask!" Zhou An answered immediately, and said repeatedly: "There is no more direct evidence than this, right?"

"Okay!" Wu Xukuan shouted OK.

He is now beginning to wonder if he was a direct confidant who secretly dealt with Zhou An, but he didn't have time to notify him?

"But..." Zhou An changed his voice again.

"But what?" Wu Xukuan frowned.

"If they admit that they are really threatened by you, what do you think?" Zhou An asked.

Wu Xukuan did not answer this question, but said, "What if they were not threatened by me, but voluntarily asked for the order with this marquis?" He asked Zhou An back.

Zhou An pondered for a moment, and then said, "So that's it. Our family said that they were threatened by you and acted with you. You denied it. Now you and I will ask them. If they admit that they were not threatened by you, but voluntarily, it means that the court has been separated from the emperor and the emperor's abdication is the general trend and the people's hearts will..."

Some people were frightened!

The empress stood up and stared at Zhou An's back with wide eyes.

The aura on Kanglongji couldn't help but shocked.

The hall is so quiet that it is scary.

Because Zhou An's words are so scary! He is simply making a decision for the empress. That means, if all the civil and military officials in the court say they are voluntary, and they are not threatened by Wu Xukuan, then the empress will abdicate...

this……

At this moment, the empress almost believed that Zhou An was bribed by Wu Xukuan.

At this moment, Wu Xukuan almost believed that Zhou An was his own person.

He is not helping the empress now, he is completely helping Wu Xukuan force the palace!

The empress stood up, but she had not spoken yet, so everyone's attention was not on the empress, but on Zhou An. What they couldn't see was that Zhou An was wearing a whisk in one arm and carrying the other hand behind him, talking to Wu Xukuan in this position.

Just as the empress stood up, Zhou An, who was very strong, knew the empress's actions and shook her left hand behind her back.

Behind Zhou An is the high platform, so only the people on the high platform can see the gestures behind him.

He was signaling Konlongi, signaling the empress, don't talk!

I don't know if they can understand it.

At this time, Zhou An sent a signal to the empress and Kang Longji, which naturally showed that he had a chance to do something, but he didn't know whether the empress and Kang Longji were willing to believe him at this moment, and he also had the intention to bet.

The empress couldn't calm down, but when she saw Zhou An's gesture, she held back and didn't speak immediately, but glanced at Kang Longji, who was halfway up the stairs.

Kang Longji looked solemn, and looked back at the empress and Zhou An again.

He didn't say anything.

At this moment, he chose to believe in Zhou An.

There is silence, and the needle can be heard.

"Okay!" Wu Xukuan said another good word.

"Don't worry, our family hasn't finished talking yet." Zhou An said again, "What if they didn't voluntarily ask for the order, but were threatened by you? What do you think? You haven't said it yet."

"What do you think?" Wu Xukuan actually asked Zhou An.

He himself is hard to say. If all the civil and military officials in the court said they were voluntary, this would directly force the empress to abdicate. But if it was not voluntary, it was said that it was threatened by him, Wu Xukuan, what could Wu Xukuan take out? No matter what he took out, it was not enough to compare with the empress' abdication.

"Have you brought the Tiger Talisman to the Transfer?" Zhou An asked a very sensitive question.

"Such an important thing is...carry it with you." Wu Xukuan replied.

"That's great! If all the civil and military officials in the court do not want the emperor to abdicate, but are threatened by you. If they admit this, it means that you are a treacherous minister who is unfaithful, unrighteous, traitorous, and evil. You! In front of all the civil and military officials in the court, hand over the military officials in the court, resigned as the chief minister of the cabinet, and retired and returned home. How about?" Zhou An looked directly at Wu Xukuan and said.

Wu Xukuan was actually silent.

He always felt something was wrong, but he didn't think of something wrong. And when he said this, Wu Xukuan could no longer disagree. Disagreement means he was afraid. He was guilty and there was a problem here!

Moreover, no matter how you look at it, Zhou An is helping him! At this time, as long as you are kneeling inside and outside Fengtian Hall, no one dares to say that Wu Xukuan is not a word!

"Are you scared?" Zhou An actually took a step forward and asked.

The two were less than half a foot away.

"Scared? Why is this marquis afraid?" Wu Xukuan immediately shouted, "Then this matter is settled! Who do you want to ask? Ask casually! I want to see who dares to say that he was threatened by this marquis!"

Wu Xukuan's last words were already a blatant threat.

"Then our family will ask..." Zhou An looked at Wu Xukuan and smiled.

"Ask! Ask! Ask for more than a thousand people, you can ask casually." Wu Xukuan said, and then changed his voice, "Why don't this marquis ask with you, come on, who do you want to ask first?"

Zhou An glanced at the black and kneeling civil and military officials in the court, inside and outside the hall.

Ask whom?

He knew very well that when anyone asked, everyone would say that they were voluntary. Even if Wu Xukuan was not in the court, they would not dare to say in public that they were threatened by Wu Xukuan. If they didn't want to be killed by Wu Xukuan, they could not say that.

And more importantly, Wu Xukuan really never threatened them.

This is also the fundamental reason why Wu Xukuan still has confidence although he thinks something is wrong.

Zhou An glanced speechlessly.

On the high platform behind, the empress was still standing, and her whole heart was raised to her throat.

Kanglongi stared at Zhou An's back.

If something is wrong, he doesn't mind killing Zhou An directly.

He has this right, unlike Wu Xukuan who cannot kill people in public. Zhou An is a slave of the inner court, and Kang Longji is the chief supervisor of the inner court. From a legal perspective, Wu Xukuan cannot kill anyone without trial except to directly kill his own slave.

But Kanglongi has the right to punish any slave in the inner court, killing him as soon as he says he wants to kill him.

Zhou An was still looking at someone he seemed to be looking for. After a long time, Zhou An spoke, but looked at Wu Xukuan: "More than a thousand people, if they ask one by one, I'm afraid they can't finish asking after noon, right?"

"Well...what do you mean?" Wu Xukuan responded, but asked.

"Our family has a faster way. In just half an hour, you can ask whether the civil and military officials of the dynasty were voluntarily or were threatened. Are you willing to listen?" Zhou An asked.

Wu Xukuan pondered for a moment before saying, "Say!"

"You have heard of..." Zhou An asked him again, and at the same time the corner of his mouth raised, showing a smile that made Wu Xukuan extremely uneasy, "Have you heard of... secret ballots?"

When Zhou An finished saying this, his smile became extremely gloomy.

He dug a huge pit for Wu Xukuan!
