Chapter 155 The Clown

Outside the bedroom, the weather is cold and the morning mist is filled with morning mist.

Zhou An sorted out his wrinkled clothes, then pushed the door out of the bedroom, but stood on the steps and looked over his hands.

Because it was not time to change the duty, the two eunuchs standing on both sides of the bedroom gate were still the night before.

Zhou An looked solemn, took a deep breath, then turned around and looked at the two little eunuchs, sweeping back and forth, but without saying anything. The two little eunuchs were a little nervous when they saw Zhou An looking at him.

"Maintain." They lowered their heads and greeted respectfully, but didn't know what to say.

Zhou An is not the chief supervisor at the moment, but he still can afford this chief supervisor. After all, there is more than one chief supervisor at the chief supervisor, and the chief supervisor is not formally appointed. For example, Kang Longji, his official title is the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor. He is the chief supervisor because he has great power and has the highest rights of the twenty-four yamen in the inner court.

And Zhou An is already taking over these rights.

Zhou An tilted his head and looked at them, then walked to the little eunuch on the right. He reached out to tidy up the collar for the eunuch, then patted his shoulder lightly, and said lightly: "You have been outside for a night, thank you for your hard work."

It was said that it was hard work, but Zhou An's tone did not seem to be praising people.

The little eunuch who was tidying up his collar by Zhou An was so scared that he knelt on the ground and said nervously and stuttered: "General, General Manager, I promise that I won't talk nonsense, and I will never..."

Another little eunuch also knelt down in fear.

"Yes, yes, we will never talk nonsense, the general manager spares his life."

"What else can I say?" Zhou An said this, as if he was talking to himself.

After saying that, Zhou An left with his hands behind his back.

Zhou An didn't say it thoroughly.

But they all understood what Zhou An mean. They were all smart people. Those who were not smart would not be able to get into the job of serving the empress at night.

Although Zhou An had a clear conscience, he had nothing to do with the empress.

However, he did not want any rumors related to it in the palace.

If it really appears like this, it's really going to die!

*******

When it was dawn, all the civil and military officials entered the palace to attend court.

In the morning court today, due to the mutiny of the Baijiang army, the empress was furious and scolded the ministers as a group of waste. Even Wu Xukuan cursed in person. The empress was rare to be so "unpresumptuous". She adopted Zhou An's opinion and even acted even more crazy.

The empress seemed to be really forced to end her journey, so she was "crazy".

But the more this happens, the less anyone dares to touch her brow at this time.

Wu Xukuan didn't even dare.

Because everyone is afraid that the empress will make extreme actions due to an imbalance in her mentality. If the empress takes the initiative to fight Wu Xukuan, although the empress will be ruined, Wu Xukuan will not have a good time, and may even die together.

Wu Xukuan has planned to rebel for many years, and now he has ushered in the best situation. Kang Longji is about to die, and more troops are coming to the capital. Prince Ning is also developing in a good direction on the way to Beijing. Wu Xukuan cannot let such a situation be ruined. He does not want to stimulate the empress to go to extremes, so he is very tolerant of this morning court.

Except for the fact that Wu Xukuan had a dispute with the empress on the matter of dispatching troops, Wu Xukuan had no objection to other matters.

The empress even dismissed several officials from the Ministry of Revenue in the current dynasty, and Wu Xukuan had no objection.

This seemed to be the toughest morning court since Empress Shen Zhao ascended the throne. There had never been such a situation before. The civil and military officials in the court were scolded by the empress so hard that they dared not say anything. Although some court officials looked at the empress with strange eyes, the eyes were like looking at a clown who was already crazy at the end of the road, they did not dare to say anything.

In the hearts of some people, today's empress is indeed like a clown who has been around for a few days.

The more hysterical the empress is, the more joy they feel.

If the Empress had a solution, she would never have been like this.

However, what they didn't know was that the empress really had a way, she just didn't want them to discover it...

...

Morning after the court.

When the Empress returned to Qianyuan Palace, the old coach Li Guangshan had arrived. It was when the Empress went to court that Zhou An arranged for the old coach to secretly enter the palace. In order to avoid leaking news as much as possible, Zhou An even asked the old coach to change his armor from the soldiers of the Shen Ce Army and also wear a helmet, which was very consistent with his temperament.

This is the first time the Empress met Li Guangshan.

But the two were not unfamiliar.

After seeing the rituals of the king and his subjects, the empress gave Li Guangshan a seat, and Li Guangshan also set his position as a minister and did not despise the young empress at all.

The two of them got to the point directly.

Zhou An and Kang Longji were naturally there, discussing the matter of dealing with the treacherous party together. The most difficult thing at the moment is the matter of Baijiang Army, so naturally we should discuss this first.

Before the empress came back from court, Zhou An had already told Li Guangshan about the situation on Baijiang's army.

Li Guangshan was mentally prepared and directly agreed to Zhou An's proposal.

He wanted to take action himself and secretly leave Beijing to rebel against the rebellion of Baijiang Army. Li Guangshan recognized the feasibility of this matter, but he felt that it would be a bit troublesome if he was the only one. He needed some manpower and called for several important figures!

For example, the former chief general of Baijiang Army, Niu Jinsheng!

Niu Jinsheng stepped down as the chief general of Baijiang Army six years ago. The reason for his resignation was very complicated. It was related to factional struggles, his own exhaustion and disheartening, and also to injury and age. However, these are secondary. The main reason is that Niu Jinsheng is not Wu Xukuan's confidant. Wu Xukuan originally wanted to win him over, but he failed, so he was defeated.

Niu Jinsheng resigned as the chief general of Baijiang Army at the age of fifty-seven. This year, he was already sixty-three years old. He had retired and lived in Qianjing City.

Twenty years ago, before Li Guangshan retired, Niu Jinsheng was his confidant general. Niu Jinsheng never joined Wu Xukuan, so he was related to Li Guangshan.

It is precisely because Li Guangshan does not take sides and is out of everything, that many of his former generals are like this. At present, most of the generals who "follow" Li Guangshan does not take sides have retreated. After all, most of them have reached their age and some have not retreated. In the Zhongzhou Army system, they are also marginal people.

Li Guangshan believes in Niu Jinsheng's character and even more so in Niu Jinsheng's role!

After all, Niu Jinsheng was the chief general of the Baijiang Army and had only retired for six years. He had many trusted old subordinates in the Baijiang Army. With his influence, coupled with Li Guangshan's influence, as long as the two of them appeared together, the rebellion would be basically halfway!

Secret discussions from morning to afternoon.

After all the details were discussed, Li Guangshan secretly left the palace. He would do the rest by himself. He would first visit a few trusted generals who had retired. With his strength in the Tiangang Realm, there was no need for any special arrangements and could directly meet people secretly.

After the secret discussion, Zhou An went back to Ning'an Garden of Ganli Palace.

Normally, if he had nothing else to do in the afternoon, he had to lead the group of alchemists to refine the broken pills together.

But Zhou An didn't go.

Because he wants to refine elixirs for himself.
