"This new yamen is mainly used for..." The empress paused when she said this. Perhaps she felt that it was too complicated and too tiring, so she looked at Zhou An, "Xiao Anzi, come and talk to everyone present about your plan to catch a group of people and kill a group of people."

"Yes!" Zhou An took the order, took a few steps forward, and looked up and said, "A few days ago, our family had made suggestions to the emperor. If we want to break the current crisis, we have to take ruthless measures. The so-called arrest and killing of a group means..."

All those present were confidants of the empress.

And he was one of the most important group of confidants of the Empress and could be called right-hand man. Zhou An also understood that there was nothing that could not be said and did not need to hide from anyone here, so he said it very thoroughly.

After talking about the tea, Zhou An talked about the establishment of the new yamen.

"Since we know that the lower level will not be able to execute, if we still do this, we may not be able to do so." Zhou Anlian said, "So our family proposed to the emperor to set up a new yamen and give it the right to inspect and arrest. All the officials and soldiers in this yamen are the saint's close guards, and they can be ordered to carry out the plan of catching and killing one by one, so that they can be worry-free."

After Zhou An finished speaking, he looked at the empress.

"I have discussed this matter with Gong Kang and think it is feasible." The empress glanced at her and said, "What do you think? This matter is important, and if you are not careful, it will backfire. If you have any opinions, please mention it."

There will be no opinions or something.

Neither the Empress nor Kang Longji had any objection, nor did they have any objection.

But there must be suggestions.

This is the reason why the empress gathered everyone, and it needs to be discussed and planned carefully.

This can be called a closed-door meeting.

It was not until noon that many details of this matter were finalized, including the name of the new yamen. The name was provided by Zhou An and was designated as the "Punishment Department"!

Given the particularity of this yamen, and the officials and servants of the yamen are all guards, and even if the empress sets up a new yamen, there must be a reason, which cannot be inexplicable. The reasons are combined together, so the fushi Department is later established, and the new guard will be established first.

Zhou An also provided the name for the Da Nei Imperial Guard, which was set up first - Jinyiwei!

"Then it's decided." The empress finally concluded, "The officials and soldiers of the tutoring department will be transferred from the Shence Army and Tiance Army, a total of 500. General Gao and General Su, you will be responsible for this matter, the sooner the better... And General Yuan, you will be the leader of the new yamen, and you will be responsible to me directly..."

Zhou An wants to swear now.

real!

Because the situation was beyond his expectations, it could even be said to be beyond his control.

The problem lies in the candidate for the commander of the Jinyiwei.

According to Zhou An's original intention, he advised the empress to build the Jinyiwei first and set up the yamen of the fushi. Zhou An was sure to participate in the inspection and arrest of the fushi. He was the empress's confidant and a close minister, so even if he was not the leader of the fushi's fushi, he could actually be.

This will pave the way for him to seek greater power in the future.

It is a taboo thing for eunuchs to interfere in politics. Even Kang Longji can only speak well when he goes to court and participate in court affairs. His rights are usually limited to the inner court. Even if he has the right to criticize the royal family, it is based on the minister's memorial, and it is still not possible to say that it is OK or not. That's all.

What's more, Kang Longji does not criticize the popularity now, and the criticism does not require Zhou An, a eunuch, to write it, and Kang Longji's second review and sealing. Everything is done by Empress Shen Zhao himself.

Of course, Kanglongi has special characteristics, so his actual power is greater than the rights granted by his position!

But Zhou An is not as special as he is Kanglongji.

Therefore, Zhou An never explicitly told the Empress what power he wanted, especially the important rights that should not be given randomly in the inspection and arrest. Even Kanglongji had never touched such rights, so Zhou An naturally could not explicitly ask for it.

Therefore, he could only slowly plan to set up the Jinyiwei and the Fufu Department first, and take it slowly.

What Zhou An thought before was that people were drawn from the Shence Army and the Tiance Army, and Gao Hong and Su Chengguo were impossible to move, so the highest-level person transferred was their deputy, such as one of Gao Hong's right-hand men, Han Songlei, a thousand-household Shence Army.

If Han Songlei comes to serve as the commander of the Jinyiwei, Zhou An will not be under any pressure and will suppress him steadily.

But, never expected.

The commander of the Jinyiwei will be Yuan Sheng, one of the eight great inner kings.

This is an existence whose status is absolutely no less than that of high and high.

...

After the closed-door meeting, the empress left behind everyone and had lunch with her.

After the meal, the generals left, and Zhou An also left. According to the empress's habit, if nothing happened after lunch, she would have to take a nap. Zhou An did not have to stay here all the time.

In the middle courtyard of Qianwu Palace, everyone was walking out.

Zhou An stopped Gao Hong, and Gao Hong walked to the end and asked questions.

"Old Gao, that... General Yuan, what's going on? I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it before, why did it suddenly pop up again?" Zhou An asked in a low voice.

"He, I have been practicing in seclusion all year round. Not to mention you, I rarely see him." Gao Hong said casually.

"Always go into seclusion?" Zhou An asked.

"Yes." Gao Hong explained, "Don't look at him as a first-class guard and a general protecting the country. In fact, he has never obtained actual power positions. It is not that he does not trust him, but that he does not like it himself. He has a strange temper, is obsessed with swordsmanship, and often practices in seclusion. He is in Da Nei, and he is more like a master hidden in the dark. There is no need for him to show up without any trouble."

"How many years have he been in the palace?" Zhou An asked again.

“It’s been ten years.”

"I heard that the great-grandson recruited him into the palace?"

"Yes, Gong Kang has kindness to him. He was originally from the Jianghu, but he entered the court because Gong Kang. Although he has not held a real position in the Dawei for the past ten years, he has left the palace several times and worked for the imperial court... He knows the Jianghu more than we all know."

"So that's it..." Zhou An nodded, he understood Master Yuan Sheng's positioning.

To put it bluntly, he is a man from the martial arts world who was successfully recruited by the court as a "court dog". He is obsessed with cultivation and has a strange personality. His main function is to solve some difficult things in the martial arts world for the court, or the royal family.

So it is difficult to see him normally because he either left the palace and went to the rivers and lakes to do business, or he was in seclusion and practiced in seclusion somewhere in the palace.

After hearing what Gao Hong said, Zhou An felt much more relieved.

Because he could feel that Master Yuan Sheng was not greedy for power, he was just a weird temper... he didn't know what a strange method was.

"Old Gao, I have heard that he has already taken half a step into Tiangang, is it true?" Zhou An suddenly asked again.

"Yes." Gao Hong nodded and said again: "When he first came, the Earth Demon was complete. He reached the limit five years ago. It can be called a half-step Tiangang. He has always wanted to break through to the Tiangang realm. For this reason, he has been in seclusion in the past five years. His last pass to the Seizure was just two days ago, but he failed."

"Yeah, I understand." Zhou An nodded.

Zhou An was walking with Gao Hong and suddenly heard someone calling out behind him.

"Xiao Anzi, come here."

Zhou An immediately turned around, signaled Gao Hong, and hurried over.

Under the eaves is Kanglongji called Zhou An.

"Grandmaster." Zhou An whispered softly when he got closer.

He didn't seem too restrictive. He had more contact with Kanglongi, so Zhou An knew that he was easy-going in private.

"Here, let's go with our house." Kanglongi signaled and walked east along the corridor.

He has something to say.

Zhou An immediately followed.

"Grandmaster, the emperor has already rested?" Zhou An spoke first.

"Well, I'll take a nap and I guess I'll wake up in half an hour." Kanglongi said.

Quiet again.

The two walked through the corridor under the eaves. Just after the turn, there was no one around. Kang Longji said: "Xiao Anzi, our family has asked someone to do the business of your young sister. It is 80% possible to save it. You can rest assured."

Zhou An was stunned.

Then his face changed.
