The empress dowager did everything by herself, just after returning to the palace after the funeral, the empress collapsed and frightened everyone.

Gu Zhao returned to the mansion from the palace, and still closed his door to live. He had to wait until the new emperor ascended the throne when he returned to Yaocheng.

Yan Mu still did not appear in front of the public, and Gu Zhao knew that this matter was not over yet. The two elders of the Gu family thought that the accession of the crown daughter to the throne was a certainty, but Li Shi guessed that it might not be that simple. However, there are still many people in the court who oppose women in power in private, and the more it comes to the last moment, the stronger the backlash will be.

"Zhaoer, you'll be fine."

Gu Zhao comforted: "It is impossible for Your Highness and Your Majesty not to have considered these matters, so they will be prepared."

In fact, Gu Zhao was also secretly guessing whether the empress dowager and Yan Mu were planning to take advantage of this opportunity to simply pull out those who danced particularly hard. It is decided that if those people make trouble again, it will be called rebellion.

Now that the princess has fallen again, the enthronement ceremony may have to be postponed, isn't it just giving those group of people the best chance.

But who is this opportunity for? It is still unclear. Yan Mu is already in the capital, which makes Gu Zhao feel much more at ease.

Gu Zhao lived behind closed doors, but there were still people who didn't want to let him go. Someone wanted to contact him privately and stuffed a letter into Gu's house. Gu Zhao didn't even know who sent the letter. Inciting words, thinking that the court should set things right and women should stay away from the court.

These letters were burnt in the hands of Gu Zhao, not to mention that he was the one who most hoped for the crown daughter to ascend the throne, and the concept of the crown daughter was also closest to him. To continue, and not die halfway, and let this society go backwards, and the painstaking efforts of the past few years will be in vain.

I don't know if it was because Gu Zhao didn't respond, but the people behind were so anxious that they knocked on the door of Gu's mansion after dark that day. Gu Zhao got a report that someone wanted to see him.

Gu Zhao didn't ask the concierge to let the person in, and it would be hard to tell when he entered the mansion, so he went to the door to see who it was and didn't want him to be quiet at night.

The visitor wore a cloak to cover his head and face, Gu Zhao politely asked, "Who is the visitor?"

The visitor lifted his hat, revealing a familiar face of Gu Zhao. Gu Zhao was slightly surprised, but his eyes flashed with disbelief. The Yang family hadn't given up yet, but now they came to his door. Thinking of Yang Weizhan's hostility towards him from the very beginning, Gu Zhao felt it was extremely ridiculous. He was only out of his mind to get on the Yang family's ship.

"It turned out to be Master Yang. Master Yang has something to discuss at another time. Gu's residence is going to rest behind closed doors." Gu Zhao refused the guests directly, and turned around to leave after saying that.

"Master Gu, stop!" Yang Weizhan was in a hurry, and called out to stop Gu Zhao, who turned his head to look at him.

Yang Weizhan asked anxiously: "Does Mr. Gu really want to let a woman sit on the throne and overwhelm all our men? How decent is this?"

Gu Zhao sneered and said, "When your majesty was alive, why didn't you tell your majesty this? This position was appointed by your majesty himself, so Gu should obey your majesty. It's easy for Master Yang to leave, but Gu won't see you off. Close the door !"

Yang Weizhan didn't expect that Gu Zhao wouldn't come in. He still had a lot of words to say, but the porter closed the door in front of him. Yang Weizhan took two pictures and there was no movement inside. , but he could only turn around and leave, because he was afraid of alarming other people in this alley if he continued to shoot.

Gu Zhao didn't do anything, and then sent out a letter, which was reported to Yan Mu.

That night, apart from going out to meet Yang Weizhan, Gu Zhao stayed in the study all the time. At Haishi, there was a sudden commotion on the street outside, the dull sound of horseshoes hitting the ground, and the sound of weapons colliding. Walking out of the study, following his orders, the nursing home in the mansion is vigilant for the movement outside, because of this situation, they also woke up another batch of nursing homes on shift to guard the mansion together.

"My lord, this is outside..."

"Be safe and don't be impatient, as long as you keep the house well, you don't need to worry about the outside."

With Gu Zhao's words, everyone felt at ease, and the adults did not panic, thinking that the commotion outside would not make too much noise, and the status of their adults would not change much.

Gu Zhao also went to Li's Mansion, and explained the same thing. Unlike the two elders of the Gu family, Li Shi woke up after a rest, and Gu Zhao stayed with Li Shi.

The Li family also experienced the change of power in the past. The situation at that time was only more intense than it is now. Unlike the late emperor who appointed the crown prince early, now it is just some unwilling people who are fighting for the last time. Maybe they know It will fail, but if you don't try it, how will you know it won't succeed?What if it works?

You must know that Yan Xiangxi is the crown prince recognized by the first emperor, but she has one of the biggest weaknesses, that is, as a woman, it is enough for those people to make a big fuss about it, so don't take this opportunity to pull her down , after she secures the throne, the difficulty will be doubled.

Among them is the appearance of the firearms battalion, which also makes the hearts of those dormant in the dark tremble. The power of the firearms is too terrifying, and I don't want the firearms battalion in Yan Xiangxi's hands to continue to grow.

Gu Zhao accompanied Li Shi, and heard the movement outside from far to near, and then gradually away, which is very understandable, because their house was bought early, so it is a little far away from the imperial city, obviously those who came from outside the city People went straight to the palace, and there should be someone in the palace to respond, otherwise how could they open the palace door and break in after the key was locked.

Even if the palace is far away, Gu Zhao and the others can still tell the difference when there are sounds of killing in the palace. Gu Zhao even climbed to the highest place in the mansion and looked towards the palace, and saw a fire that soared into the sky over there. There were still messy hooves and footsteps in the city.

Like Gu Zhao, there were many families who could not fall asleep that night, and many ordinary people were alarmed by the noise outside. The whole family shivered and hugged each other, not daring to open the door to go out to check the situation. Objects hold the door firmly so that outsiders cannot easily break into the house.

This night, some dignitaries stayed together, waiting for the movement in the palace.

"Will it be successful this time?"

"It should be. With so many people, I don't believe that a woman can't be killed. No matter how capable she is, she is still a woman. She collapsed after the funeral was over. As a woman, it is enough to guard the family's one-acre land. I want to run to the court, this is clearly a man's domain."

"Heh, Ning Yang also doesn't know what's good and what's wrong. Fortunately, there are people from the Ning family, too. In the end, it's up to Ning Yang to say anything."

"That's a badass, who will only flatter a woman and embarrass us men."

The night was very long, I don't know how long it had passed, the fighting movement in the palace seemed to be much quieter, and the faces of these gathered people showed joy, it was clear that their people had the upper hand.

One person suggested: "Should we enter the palace? The country can't live without a master for a day. It's time to invite a new master to succeed."

"That's right, that's how it should be. Let's enter the palace and invite the new emperor to ascend the throne."

A group of people can't wait to flatter the new emperor and show their merits to the new emperor. With this merit of being a dragon, their family can prosper for decades, and they can also take a step forward. As for the sound of horseshoes outside The sound of footsteps, those are from our own people, they have already arranged everything.

So these people opened the mansion door and prepared to enter the palace, but just as the mansion door opened, they saw a group of people outside holding strange weapons and aiming at them.

One person said in surprise: "Who are you?"

This strange weapon is probably the weapon called the Fire Gun held by the soldiers of the Firearms Battalion who showed up once, but how did it appear here?They have clearly used their methods to mobilize the firearms battalion.

"Her Majesty's order is that everyone is not allowed to leave the gate of the mansion for half a step tonight, or they will be killed."

The young general who led the team waved his hand, and heard a "bang" sound, and a big hole was blasted out of the sturdy mansion gate, and it was on the verge of falling. After a while, it fell down with an uproar.

At the beginning of the bombing, some people couldn't restrain their fear and screamed, and the scene of the door being knocked down made the legs of those nobles who were still proud just now tremble uncontrollably. Seeing so many firecrackers aimed at them , Maybe if they really dare to take a step, their heads will be bombed in the next moment.

"Quick, take me back quickly." Someone screamed.

"...It's...it's Yan Mu, right?"

The name Yan Mu flashed through many people's minds. Apart from the firearm battalion mastering such a sharp firearm, there is also Yan Mu's navy. He actually led people to appear in the capital quietly, so tonight's action Did they target Yan Xiangxi, or did Yan Xiangxi deliberately show weakness to lure them into the finals?

Some people fell down on the ground, chanted the words "it's over", and were arrested by these people. When the general situation was settled, they would be liquidated. Some people regretted that they shouldn't have listened to other people. It doesn't matter if the person on the throne is a man or a woman, they are all members of the Yan family anyway, so why don't they do things and live their lives as before?

This bombing sound seemed to start a signal, and then there were terrifying bombing sounds in the direction of the palace, and this wave of noise ended quickly, before it was time for a cup of tea, all the noise disappeared, and then People from the palace knocked on the doors of many mansions, even the Gu family was no exception, and some important officials were invited into the palace overnight.

"It's okay, I'll go back as soon as I go, the house will be left to my mother, and the palace will be safe." Gu Zhao told Li Shi before leaving, and the two elders of the Gu family would inevitably be awakened later.

"Be careful." Li said worriedly.

Gu Zhao was very relieved, because the person who came to pick him up was Yan Mu's personal guard, who was also equipped with firecrackers.
