The palace was silent late at night. At this time, the palace gate was closed and the guards also had duty exchanges. The guards stationed in the palace were subordinate to General Guards, and Xu Chu was General Guards, which was why he appeared at Chen Qun's home.

In fact, it is no longer Zhang Yan's own business to make Zhang Yan the emperor, but something that the cultural relics officials who followed Zhang Yan through life and death hoped by each of them. Each of them wanted to see the day when Zhang Yan became emperor. Only when the dynasty changed can they be the heroes of the founding of the country and gain more rewards because of their support.

This group of people, Chen Qun, Zhang Zhao and others, had the highest expectations. They were Zhang Yan's early aides. It was precisely because they saw Zhang Yan's uniqueness that they would follow him and be willing to work hard for him.

For them, once Zhang Yan becomes emperor, they will all be granted the title of marquis, and from then on, their descendants will enjoy endless wealth and glory.

The guard general Xu Huang and the commander of the Jinyiwei Xu Sheng were simply forced into it by this group of people because they were people with real power, one was responsible for commanding all the garrisons in the capital, and the other was the leader of the intelligence organization. It would be difficult to hide some things from these two people.

Moreover, for Xu Sheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, he could understand all the actions of these ministers clearly as long as he wanted to know. Therefore, if Chen Qun and Zhang Zhao wanted to do, they would definitely not be able to hide Xu Sheng's eyes. Instead of hiding them, they would have to try all the ways to avoid Xu Sheng's investigation. It would be better to invite Xu Sheng in openly and everyone would do this together. One prosper and one loss.

After Chen Qun and Zhang Zhao used aggressive methods to win over Xu Sheng, they used Xu Sheng to win over the guard General Xu Chu. Later, the personnel continued to spread, but no matter how they spread, these personnel always maintained an extremely hidden style of doing things. Moreover, the people among the members were people trusted by Zhang Yan, and they had to be people who hoped to do this, otherwise things would be exposed.

After everyone discussed at Chen Qun's house, Chen Qun proposed to use Empress Dowager Gongsun as a breakthrough point, and Chen Qun personally went to persuade him. General Xu Chu of the Guard and commander Xu Sheng of the Jinyiwei were with him, while the rest stayed to wait for the news.

Tonight, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Xu Chu rode a war horse, walked side by side with Xu Sheng and Chen Qun, and walked straight towards the palace.

The palace gate was closed, and the satellite TV stationed at the palace gate was even more ready. Seeing three knights slowly coming over the palace gate, I immediately shouted loudly: "The palace is important, and idle people are not allowed to enter. Now is the time for curfew. But you are walking around at this time, aren't you afraid of being captured by the patrolling army? I would like to advise you to leave here early so that I will not go down and arrest you."

Among the three, Xu Chu rode his horse forward and walked to the palace gate quietly, without any stop. At the same time, he rushed to the defenders above the palace gate and shouted: "You are blind, don't even recognize me?"

The defenders above the palace gate reflected the faint moonlight. After looking down carefully, they vaguely saw Xu Chu's face. He was so scared that he was out of his mind. He immediately rolled down from the city tower and ordered people to open the palace gate and come to the palace gate to greet Xu Chu in person.

The palace gate of the palace suddenly opened. The guard of the gate came to Xu Chu, bowed his head and said, "Please forgive me for being a general who was not able to recognize that it was the arrival of the general. Please don't remember the villain's mistakes and give him a high hand, but blame him for the villain!"

Xu Chu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, as long as you recognize it as the general. I will take Lord Chen now. Lord Xu will come in to meet His Majesty. There is something very important. Please open the palace gate immediately and invite us in."

The army Sima said with a hint of embarrassment on his face: "General Xu, does this not comply with the regulations?"

"I am General Wei, your immediate boss. I know better than you if the rules meet the regulations. But now is a very urgent moment, we must see Your Majesty..." Xu Chu's thoughts turned very quickly, for fear that the Sima of the army would report, so he deliberately said, "This is the Regent's meaning. It was the Regent who asked us to come in to see Your Majesty. It was a military and national event. If this major event is delayed, can you take responsibility?"

A cold sweat broke out on the forehead of Jun Sima. When he heard the three words "Regent", he immediately surrendered and stopped saying anything. He directly let Xu Chu, Chen Qun and Xu Sheng enter the palace.

Xu Sheng knew the terrain of the palace very well. Under his leadership, the three of them quickly arrived at the hall where the empress dowager was.

Empress Dowager Gongsun lived in Wenfang Hall. Since Emperor Liu Feng was too young and needed someone to take care of him, Empress Dowager Gongsun took on this responsibility and raised Liu Feng in Wenfang Hall.

Wenfang Palace is the place where the queen of the Han Palace lives, and even this name was moved directly from the original Luoyang Palace.

At this moment, Emperor Liu Feng had just coaxed her to bed, and she was preparing to change clothes and rest, but suddenly she saw a maid hurriedly walking in and said to Empress Dowager Gongsun: "Report to the Empress Dowager, General Xu Chu of the Guard, Commander Xu Sheng of the Jinyiwei, and Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue Chen Qun are looking for a visit outside."

After hearing the palace maid's report, Empress Dowager Gongsun was surprised. Not to mention that it was the time for the palace gate to be closed, outsiders were not allowed to enter without an imperial edict. Even when did these ministers come to see them when the palace gate was open? But now, all this has been broken. Empress Dowager Gongsun was silent for a moment, and finally asked the palace maid to bring the three of them in and prepare to meet them.

The palace maids Xu Chu, Xu Sheng and Chen Qun invited the Wenfang Hall. The Wenfang Hall, which was already dimly lit, once again lit up many lights, and the main hall of the Wenfang Hall was brightly lit.

After Xu Chu, Xu Sheng and Chen Qun entered the hall, they stood there and waited quietly. After waiting for a while, they couldn't help but feel a little anxious before they saw Empress Dowager Gongsun come out of it.

So, Xu Chu said to a palace maid: "Why haven't the Empress Dowager come out yet?"

"Please be careful, General, the Empress Dowager is changing clothes, and will come out to meet you later."

Chen Qun advised: "Since you come, be at ease, and be at ease, don't be impatient."

Xu Chu stopped saying anything, but his heart was very upset. He thought to himself that a woman was so arrogant. When Zhang Yan became the emperor, she would definitely go anywhere.

After a while, Empress Dowager Gongsun walked out of the back hall. At this time, she had already changed into a dress and was elegant and luxurious, but it did not match her actual age.

"I am really sorry for all of you waiting for a long time!" Empress Dowager Gongsun sat in the main seat of the hall, looked around Xu Chu, Xu Sheng and Chen Qun, and then said, "There must be important things for the three masters to visit late at night. I wonder if I can let me know something?"

"I'll meet the Empress Dowager!" Although Xu Chu, Xu Sheng and Chen Qun bowed respectfully to Empress Dowager Gongsun, they did not kneel on the ground. In their opinion, things had reached this point and there was no need to kneel at all. Moreover, they would not accept it if they had to kneel in front of a woman younger than themselves.

After seeing the behavior of Xu Chu, Xu Sheng and Chen Qun, Empress Dowager Gongsun did not care, because she had already become accustomed to it. She didn't know when she could sit as the Empress Dowager. And she also knew in her heart that Zhang Yan would usurp the Han Dynasty and become independent sooner or later. By then, she would die or live, which would be an unknown number.

"To be honest, I came to find the Empress Dowager. There is indeed a very important thing that requires the cooperation of the Empress Dowager." Chen Qun said straight to the point.

"What's the matter?" asked Empress Dowager Gongsun.

Chen Qun clasped his fists and said, "I have discussed with all the ministers in the court. The ministers' opinions are consistent. They believe that the Han Dynasty has existed for hundreds of years and its fortune has come to an end. It is time for the dynasty to change the dynasty. I hope that the Empress Dowager can set an example for the people of the world, persuade Your Majesty to abdicate and give up the throne, and abdicate the emperor to the regent..."

"Hahaha..." Before Chen Qun could finish his words, Empress Dowager Gongsun laughed immediately. On such a late night, Empress Dowager Gongsun's laughter made people feel creepy.

"Empress Dowager, why are you laughing at?" Chen Qun asked.

"I laughed at your fox tail, finally revealed. Why didn't Zhang Yan come in person but sent you clowns to come? If you really want His Majesty to abdicate, let Zhang Yan come to see me in person!" said Empress Dowager Gongsun.

Xu Sheng said angrily: "Don't toast and not eat, eat the punishment! Who do you think you are? The empress dowager of the great man? Without the regent, you are nothing, and maybe your life is gone long ago. It would be fine if you don't thank the regent, but you dare to be so arrogant?"

"Since Zhang Yan wants to usurp the Han Dynasty and become independent, then come openly. What he said before was to limit the imperial power. I think this is simply limiting the rights of His Majesty alone. Now that the power is in his hands, it will be a matter of time before rebellion. I had already expected this ending today, but I didn't expect that Zhang Yan would attack so quickly. Go back and tell Zhang Yan that either he would kill His Majesty and the Palace, and then he would proclaim himself emperor. If you want His Majesty to abdicate to him, there would be no door!" said Empress Dowager Gongsun.

"If you don't want toast, you will be punished!" Xu Chu suddenly became furious, pulled out the sword from his waist and wanted to kill Empress Dowager Gongsun.

Chen Qun grabbed Xu Chu's hand and said bitterly: "General Xu, don't be reckless. This is the words of the Empress Dowager who deliberately inspires you. If you really kill her, then you are really wrong, and it is equivalent to hitting her plan."

Xu Chu asked, "What should I do? Could it be that I could watch her swaying in front of us?"
