Now there is a path before Shi Donghai.
Either kill Zhao An by force or retreat.
To kill by force, you have to fight with the imperial guards and Xiao Qingyu.
If successful, Chen will wear a yellow robe.
If that doesn't work, flee the capital in embarrassment and abandon all arrangements in the capital.
When did the emperor become so stubborn? Dare to go to war with just two lone armies!
Shi Donghai didn't understand, but Zhao An was actually surprised.
The little cutie empress straightened her back and became a big woman tonight. Was this because she was sure that Mrs. Chen had not yet taken control of the situation and did not dare to break up with her?
She now holds a trump card. As long as she survives tonight, the throne will be secure.
It depends on whether Chen dares to be reckless!
Under the night, Tianshuiyuan was filled with murderous intent.
Jiuyin, Zhou Rang, and the Holy Disciples were all ready. Even Queer struggled out of bed, grabbed his sword and moved to the back of the team.
Boom!
The sky outside was dyed red by torches. On the left was Xiao Qingyu's team, and on the right was the imperial guard led by Chang Ming. They directly made dumplings of the army and horses besieging Tianshuiyuan.
As long as Shi Donghai orders a fight, they will eat up this team in the shortest possible time and then go straight to the Chen family's lair.
"The Minister of War has arrived!"
"The Minister of Etiquette has arrived!"
…
When the situation was tense, the officials of the imperial court came upon hearing the news, followed by their respective heirs.
Shi Donghai's eyelids twitched, "Why are you ministers here?"
The Minister of War said with a smile: "We have also heard about Liu Fa. He broke into the prison without permission and attempted to murder the imperial officials. He deserves to be punished for his crime. However, Your Majesty has a good life and wants to punish only the first culprit."
He was trying to persuade Mo Donghai to retreat quickly, because he had just received news that the neutral faction and other generals headed by Zhang Qi had taken action. There were some private troops in their houses. If one of them failed, the whole game would be lost.
Moreover, Shi Donghai's lone army may not be able to get out of Tianshuiyuan, so the Duke's plan must not be ruined.
Shi Donghai glanced at the several ministers again, and finally his eyes fell on Zhao An, who was playing with the Great Xia Dragon Bird, and said gloomily: "Mr. Zhou, this matter should be decided by His Majesty's grace. I will leave now."
"Hey, I won't send you far."
On the surface, Zhao An bowed calmly, but in reality he was quite panicked.
The empress only has such a small number of troops, so she really can't start a war unless she can attack and kill the old fox. But the old guy will never put himself in danger. The number of defeats tonight will only be 20%.
Following Shi Donghai's order, the soldiers retreated like the tide, and Xiao Qingyu and Chang Ming also immediately led their troops to retreat.
A conflict that was about to break out was resolved.
Everyone in Tianshuiyuan had walked through the gate of hell, and their backs were wet with cold sweat.
It wasn't until everything stabilized that everyone could breathe.
Several ministers laughed along with him, said some high-sounding words, and then led the children away.
Cui Wengong dragged Zhao An back to the hall and said seriously: "You are too reckless. An An dares to kill the head of the Liu family."
Zhao Andao said: "It's just that one Liu Fa died, the rest of the Liu family are still there, the craftsmen and the inventory are still there, Chen Guogong will not really take action."
"You're calm."
Cui Wengong knelt down and poured a cup of tea to calm his shock.
At his age, he can't stand the hardship, and he almost had a heart attack just now.
"There are prerequisites for Chen Guogong to rebel. At the very least, he must control the imperial guards. Otherwise, the success rate of his rebellion will be very low, and he may even be escaped by the emperor. As long as the emperor is around, he will be a rebel."
Zhao An sat down and poured a cup of tea by himself.
"I would like to ask whether it is the emperor's appeal that is stronger, or his appeal."
In the name of inspecting the harem, Mrs. Chen had all the hidden secret agents of the imperial guards removed. If she wanted to touch the imperial guards, she could only start with Chen Yuru. This was also an important part of Mrs. Chen's plan to let Chen Yuru marry into the royal family. But she didn't expect that the queen would turn against the Chen family because of the unborn prince in her belly, and that's why she had the current marriage plan.
From this point of view, it is impossible for the Chen family to make a big move until the Queen's marriage visit.
Zhao An finished analyzing the situation.
Cui Wengong said with emotion: "Young people can still see clearly, but I am getting old after all."
"Don't say that, the Imperial College still relies on you."
Zhao An stretched out and saw everyone waiting outside the door, so he let them all in.
Everyone was shocked tonight. At some point, he would treat everyone to a nice meal as an apology.
Xu Ruqing said bitterly: "It's a shame that Sir can still act like a normal person, but I don't know what the situation will be like in the court tomorrow."
"Teacher, Jin Yang of Jingzhao Mansion was killed."
Some disciples of the Holy Sahib stumbled in.
Everyone's scalps were numb, Zhao An frowned and said, "Who killed him?"
"Liu's servants suddenly attacked. Jin Yang had no time to defend himself and was beheaded on the spot."
"This is to intimidate his own party members and provoke the imperial power."
Zhao An secretly sighed. He promised to save Jinyang's life, but in the end, Chen was so cruel.
Chen Guogong wanted to regain his position, which was tantamount to telling the emperor straightforwardly that it didn't matter if he killed the court officials without permission. If the Liu family killed Jin Yang, the Duke of Chen could also save the Liu family, and no one could even think of starting the paper-making business.
This conflict tonight should be over here.
Chen Guogong suffered a small loss, but his face was still there. On the contrary, the emperor was so provoked, but could not react. Even if Chen Guogong proposed a new candidate for Jingzhao Mansion, she had to agree.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, leaving many people sleepless.
Zhao An returned to the palace overnight.
The empress is not in the main hall. She is taking a bath in the side hall at the moment, and there is no one around to wait on her.
Zhao An pushed the door open and she was immersed in the tub. Her fragrant shoulders were white and flawless. She was startled when she heard the movement. She glared hatefully and gestured to come closer to talk.
Zhao An rubbed his nose to admire the perfect body in the water, rolled up his sleeves and rubbed her back.
She said: "Slave, when did I say that I would kill Liu Fa? It was just to intimidate the aristocratic family. It would be better for you to kill him directly, otherwise I would have to go crazy with you."
"Your Majesty is incontinent, so you come to take a bath?"
"You dog slave, if you can't speak, you can shut up."
The empress waved her hand angrily.
Zhao An was caught off guard and she grabbed his ear. He grimaced in pain and said, "I know I was wrong. I will dare to do it next time."
"Asshole, do you know that you almost made a big mistake?"
The empress pulled back and forth several times until Zhao An's ears turned red before she gave up.
Now the little cutie is angry and needs comfort.
Zhao An shamelessly said some sweet words, but she was still angry, "Why did you kill Liu Fa? Give me an explanation."
"You don't know how arrogant that old guy is. He wanted to chop me to death on the spot. After I knocked him down, he stretched out his neck for me to chop him. He also said that I was a rotten fish and shrimp that you had decreed. I was not worthy of carrying shoes for him in the Liu family. , I won’t kill him and keep him for the New Year?”
"Damn thing!"
The empress was so angry that her little fists clenched loudly.
How dare a mere aristocratic family do this!
