Chapter 78 Retreat

Zhou An is not afraid of making things bigger because it can be saved.

He came forward and had a quarrel with Wu Xukuan for a while, and forced Wu Xukuan into a "desperate situation", but he was not afraid, because of Zhou An's identity, his words only represent him, unlike Kang Longji. What Kang Longji said, then it must be representative of the empress. If he had such a conflict with Wu Xukuan, it would be really irreversible.

Of course, if the Empress thinks that Zhou An's words can represent him, then he can represent himself. If the Empress thinks that he cannot, then Zhou An is talking about farting. Because of this, Zhou An has no scruples.

At this moment, Kang Longji scolded Zhou An, but he eliminated all the disputes Zhou An had with Wu Xukuan before.

The atmosphere inside and outside Fengtian Hall was relaxed.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, and their spine was covered in cold sweat. They were so scared that they didn't dare to breathe. The little eunuch forced Wu Xukuan again and again. It was impossible to vote, so Wu Xukuan had to turn the other side!

Fortunately, Kanglongi opened his mouth.

Zhou An obediently rolled back to the steps, and then went to one side, and immediately entered a state that was almost like the old monk entering into meditation, with expressionless expression on his face, as if he was not the one who was talking about Wu Xukuan before.

Wu Xukuan also relaxed his expression and stared at Zhou An with his squint eyes.

In fact, he felt relieved.

Direct rebellion by force is the worst strategy. If he does this, the mountains and rivers will be broken and the world will be in chaos. Although Wu Xukuan controls the court and has the power of the world, his power comes from the court and the military power.

Mainly because of military power, Wu Xukuan was able to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the world directly under the imperial court, not only relying on the tiger talisman, but also as the Grand Marshal. Now many generals led the army were promoted by Wu Xukuan back then.

But he could not control the local forces, not only the six major vassal kings. The Dongqian Dynasty has been established for more than 300 years. In the local area, there have been very famous families. The children of these families all serve in local departments, and some even take charge of local troops.

If Wu Xukuan rebelled by force, he would inevitably be attacked by the whole world.

Wu Xukuan has the ability to rebel by force, but he knew that he could not do this unless he had to... In fact, from another perspective, rebel by force does not necessarily lead to extreme consequences. For example, if Wu Xukuan could control the situation in Qianjing City after rebellion by force, put the empress in house arrest, and still issue orders in the name of the empress. In this way, although the world is shocked, it will not collapse directly.

But it is extremely difficult to capture the empress, control the empress, and put her under house arrest.

Because of Kang Longji, once Wu Xukuan rebelled, Kang Longji would definitely flee the imperial palace with the empress from Qianjing as soon as possible. Wu Xukuan was not sure to stop Kang Longji. The reason why the grandmaster was a grandmaster was because of his perverted martial arts strength.

It is no exaggeration to say that Konlongi can score thousands of them per person.

...

"What Mr. Wu reported today is about the country and the people of the world, and cannot be easily decided." Wu Xukuan was looking at Zhou An squintly, and the empress's voice suddenly sounded, "Since there is a controversy, the result can be negotiated in a short time, so let's put it aside for a while and discuss it again."

The empress was not stupid either. Kang Longji spoke, so the empress naturally reflected on it.

Her light words turned Wu Xukuan into abdicating her.

Normally, it is impossible to turn the article so easily.

If the empress said it was put on hold, Wu Xukuan would definitely be able to start the conversation immediately and continue to entangle.

But now, Wu Xukuan will never get entangled.

Because Zhou An will criticize him!

He dared to talk about the empress' abdication and give way to the wise, so Zhou An dared to jump out and talk to him about the secret voting, so that he could see what the "power of democracy" means.

In fact, when this matter has reached this point, both sides have taken a step back.

Wu Xukuan didn't want to rebel directly by force, and the empress didn't want to force him to rebel directly by force.

So, at the last moment, Kanglongji asked Zhou An to go back and gave Wu Xukuan a step.

It is naturally impossible for Wu Xukuan to take the initiative to push things to the extreme.

There was silence inside and outside Fengtian Hall.

The empress said "I will discuss it again when I choose a date", and no one objected, or no one spoke, Wu Xukuan did not speak, and no one could say anything else.

Wu Xukuan glanced at the empress and then glanced at Zhou An.

"If you have a memorial, you will leave the court without memorial!" Kanglongi proclaimed loudly.

Still silent.

If the big officials in the previous few months were changed, not to mention those small officials, some of them would definitely have to hand over to the empress. After all, the world is so chaotic now that it is impossible to be fine. If some small officials are favored by the superiors and have unique insights into certain aspects, those important officials who can speak directly with the empress will also hand over to the empress.

Today, perhaps some people are preparing to start something today, but after Wu Xukuan's trouble, they dare not mention it.

Everyone wants to retreat!

Including the Empress.

Since no one started the report again, the empress glanced down, inside and outside the hall, and said, "Since there is nothing wrong, let's go away today."

"Retreat the court!!" Kanglongji immediately made a speech in a louder voice, ensuring that it could be heard inside and outside the hall.

"Long live my emperor!" The sound of tsunami sounded inside and outside Fengtian Hall.

Only Wu Xukuan did not shout, did not kneel, nor did he look at the empress.

However, the empress didn't even look at him. She walked down the platform from the east side, surrounded by eunuchs and other eunuchs and palace maids, and walked towards the east side of Fengtian Hall. When she retreated, the emperor wanted to leave first. Only when the emperor left could the ministers get up and leave.

Wu Xukuan didn't look at the empress, but his eyes were always staring at Zhou An.

His "good situation" today was completely broken by Zhou An alone.

Not only that, Zhou An also completely disrupted his follow-up plan. According to Wu Xukuan's previous thought, the empress abdicated now. Although the empress will not abdicate directly, she will definitely not be able to come to Taiwan. She is likely to announce her retreat and leave in a mess.

In this way, Wu Xukuan's goal was achieved. As long as the news spreads, it can create an illusion that all the civil and military officials in the court want the empress to abdicate and give way to the wise. This matter will affect the ideas of many people, especially the Beijing officials who attended court today. Since they all knelt down and asked for their lives together, they can be said to have no way out.

This will clear away many obstacles for Wu Xukuan to defeat the empress in the future.

Unfortunately, Wu Xukuan never expected that his plan would be completely destroyed by a little eunuch!

Not only did it not have the expected effect, it even had a reverse effect.

There is no doubt that when the news of the morning court spread today, Wu Xukuan would probably become a laughing stock among some people, and Zhou An, the eunuch who was in charge of the inner court, will surely be famous all over the world!

Zhou An had already followed the empress and walked out together.

Wu Xukuan kept staring at Zhou An's back, and no one knew what Wu Xukuan was thinking at this moment.

With the empress, before leaving the east door, Zhou An suddenly stopped and looked back at Wu Xukuan. The corners of his mouth curled up to Wu Xukuan, and a faint smile appeared.
