There was silence in the palace late at night, when the palace gates were closed and the guards were on duty. The guards stationed in the palace are subordinate to General Wei's subordinates, and Xu Chu is precisely General Wei, which is why he appeared in Chen Qun's house.

In fact, letting Zhang Yan be the emperor is no longer a matter of Zhang Yan alone, but a common expectation of the cultural relics officials who were born and died with Zhang Yan, each of them wants to see the day when Zhang Yan becomes the emperor.

These people, with Chen Qun, Zhang Zhao and others have the highest expectations, they are Zhang Yan's early staff, and it is precisely because they see the difference in Zhang Yan that they will live and die with each other, and they are willing to work for him.

For them, once Zhang Yan becomes the emperor, they will all be made marquises, and from now on, future generations will also enjoy endless glory and wealth.

And the Wei general Xu Huang and the Jinyi Wei commander Xu Sheng were purely dragged in by this group of people, because the two of them are people with real power, one is responsible for commanding all the garrisons in Gyeonggi, and the other is the head of the intelligence organization, and it will be a little difficult to hide some things from these two people.

Moreover, for Xu Sheng, the commander of Jinyiwei, every move of these ministers, as long as he wants to know, can be felt clearly, so if Chen Qun and Zhang Zhao want to do something, they must not be able to hide Xu Sheng's eyes, instead of hiding, tucking and trying their best to avoid Xu Sheng's investigation, it is better to invite Xu Sheng in openly and honestly, and everyone will do this together. All in one. One loses all.

After Chen Qun and Zhang Zhao used the agitation method to pull Xu Sheng over. and used Xu Sheng to bring in General Wei Xu Chu together, and then the personnel continued to spread, but no matter how they spread, these personnel have always maintained an extremely covert style of doing things, and the people in the members are all people who are trusted by Zhang Yan, and they have to be people who want to be able to do so, otherwise. The matter will be revealed.

After everyone discussed at Chen Qun's house, Chen Qun proposed to use the Empress Dowager Gongsun as a breakthrough point, and Chen Qun personally went to persuade him, and the Wei general Xu Chu and Jinyi Wei commanded Xu Sheng to accompany him, and the rest stayed to wait for news.

Tonight, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, 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 vigilant, and saw three knights slowly walking past the palace gate. He immediately shouted loudly: "The palace is heavy, and idlers are not allowed to enter." It's curfew time. But you are walking around at will at this time, are you not afraid of being caught by the patrolling army? The official still advises you to leave here early, lest the official go down and arrest you. ”

Among the three, Xu Chu rode forward, walked to the palace gate in a static manner, and did not stop at all, and at the same time shouted at the defenders above the palace gate: "Blind your dog eyes, even I don't know me?" ”

The defenders above the palace gate reflected the faint moonlight, looked down carefully, and vaguely saw Xu Chu's face, frightened that he was not possessed, and immediately climbed down from the city tower, and ordered someone to open the palace gate and personally came to the palace gate to greet Xu Chu.

The palace gate of the palace was opened, and the military Sima guarding the door came to Xu Chu, bowed his head and said: "Please forgive the last general's clumsy eyes, unable to recognize the arrival of the general, and please ask the general not to remember the villain, raise his noble hand, but blame the villain!" ”

Xu Chu waved his hand and said: "It's okay, as long as you recognize it as the general, I will now take Lord Chen and Lord Xu to go in to meet His Majesty, there is a very important matter, please open the palace gate immediately, please let us in." ”

The military Sima's face was a little embarrassed and said, "General Xu, this doesn't meet the regulations, right?" ”

"I'm General Wei, I'm your immediate boss, I know better than you if I don't meet the rules. But now is a very urgent moment, we must see His Majesty Xià......" Xu Chu's thoughts turned very quickly, for fear that this military Sima would go to make a small report, and deliberately said, "This is what the regent meant, it was the regent who let us go in to see His Majesty, it is a major military matter, if this major event is delayed, can you bear it?" ”

A cold sweat broke out on Jun Sima's forehead, and when he heard the word regent, he immediately softened, didn't say anything anymore, and directly let Xu Chu, Chen Qun, and Xu Sheng into the palace.

Xu Sheng knew the terrain of the palace well, and under his leadership, the three of them soon came to the main hall where the queen mother was.

The Empress Dowager Gongsun lived in the Wenfang Palace, and because the emperor Liu Feng was still too young and needed someone to take care of her, the Empress Dowager Gongsun shouldered this responsibility and raised Liu Feng in the Wenfang Palace.

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

At this moment, the Empress Dowager Gongsun had just been put to sleep by Emperor Liu Feng, and she was about to change her clothes and rest, but suddenly saw a maid hurriedly walking in and said to the Empress Dowager Gongsun: "Empress Dowager Qiqi, General Wei Xu Chu, Jinyi Wei Commander Xu Sheng, and Hubu Shangshu Chen Qun are asking to see outside. ”

After listening to the palace maid's announcement, the Empress Dowager Gongsun was suddenly surprised, Mo said that now is the time when the palace gate is closed, and outsiders are generally not allowed to enter without an edict, even if it is usually when the palace door is open, when will these courtiers come to visit them? But now, this qiē has been broken, and the 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 maid invited Xu Chu, Xu Sheng, and Chen Qun into the Wenfang Palace, and the Wenfang Palace, which was already lit up, was lit up again, and the main hall of the Wenfang Hall was brightly lit.

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

So, Xu Chu said to a palace maid: "Why hasn't the Queen Mother come out yet?" ”

"Please calm down the general, the Queen Mother is changing her clothes, and she will come out to meet you in a while."

Chen Qun persuaded: "If you come, you will be safe, and you will not be impatient if you are a little restless." ”

Xu Chu didn't say anything anymore, but his heart was very blocked, thinking that a woman had something to be so spirited, and when Zhang Yan became the emperor, she would definitely go anywhere.

After a while, the Empress Dowager Gongsun walked out of the apse, at this time she had already changed her outfit, and the whole person was graceful and luxurious, but it did not match her actual age.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" The Empress Dowager Gongsun sat on the main seat of the main hall, looked around at Xu Chu, Xu Sheng, and Chen Qun, and then said, "The three adults are visiting late at night, there must be something important, I don't know if I can let the palace know something?" ”

"Ministers, see the Queen Mother!" Although Xu Chu, Xu Sheng, and Chen Qun bowed respectfully to the Empress Dowager Gongsun, they did not kneel on the ground, in their opinion, things have reached this point, there is no need to kneel at all, and to let them kneel in front of a woman younger than themselves, this is not acceptable to them.

After the Empress Dowager Gongsun saw the behavior of Xu Chu, Xu Sheng, and Chen Qun, she didn't care, because she had already taken it for granted, and she didn't know how long she would be able to sit in the position of the Queen Mother. And she also knew in her heart that sooner or later Zhang Yan would usurp the Han dynasty and become self-reliant. Whether she will live or die by that time is unknown.

"To tell you the truth, I came to find the Queen Mother, and there is indeed a very important matter that requires the Queen Mother's cooperation." Chen Qun said straight to the point.

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

Chen Qun hugged his fists and said: "The ministers have discussed with the ministers of the court, and the opinions of the ministers are unanimous, thinking that the Han Dynasty has existed for hundreds of years, and the fortune of Zuo has come to an end, and it is time to change the dynasty, and the ministers hope that the queen mother can set an example for the common people in the world, persuade His Majesty, let His Majesty abdicate and give way to Xian, and give the emperor's throne to the regent......"

"Hahaha......" The Empress Dowager Gongsun didn't wait for Chen Qun to finish speaking, and immediately burst out laughing, in such a late night, the Empress Dowager Gongsun's laughter made people feel creepy.

"Queen Mother, what are you laughing at?" Chen Qun asked.

"I laugh at you that your fox tail is finally revealed, why didn't Zhang Yan come in person, but sent you clowns who jumped off the beam? If you really want to let His Majesty Xià Zen, let Zhang Yan come to see the palace in person! The Empress Dowager Gongsun said.

Xu Sheng said angrily: "Don't toast and don't eat, eat and drink!" Who do you think you are? The queen mother of the Han Dynasty? Without a regent, you are nothing, and perhaps your life is long gone. If you don't thank the regent, you dare to be so arrogant? ”

"Since Zhang Yan wants to usurp the Han Dynasty and stand on his own, then it is good to be above board, what did he say before to restrict the imperial power, I think this is simply restricting the rights of His Majesty Xià alone, and now the power is in his hands, and it is only a matter of time before he rebels, I have long expected that there will be today's ending, but I didn't expect Zhang Yan to start so quickly. You go back and sue Zhang Yan, or he will kill His Majesty and the palace, and then he will be the emperor again, and he wants to let His Majesty give it to him, but there is no door! The Empress Dowager Gongsun said.

"Toast and don't eat and drink!" Xu Chu suddenly became furious, drew the sword in his waist and wanted to kill the Empress Dowager Gongsun.

Chen Qun grabbed Xu Chu's hand and said bitterly: "General Xu, don't be reckless, this is the words that the Queen Mother deliberately provoked you, if you really kill her, then it is really a big mistake, and it is equivalent to falling for her strategy." ”

Xu Chu asked, "Then what should I do?" Isn't it possible to just watch her swagger in front of us? ”

Chen Qun said: "Leave this matter to me!" (To be continued......)
