Mao Zhen was one of them. Formerly an ordinary member of the Imperial Guard, the unfortunate reality was that, over the years, the Guard had always been under the control of the Dowager Empress.
The Dowager Empress, in turn, was under Qin Kun's influence. They had been *** for many years, and the Dowager Empress had always been blindly obedient to Qin Kun, entrusting the Emperor's affairs to him. It was only in recent years that she suddenly realized the Emperor had grown up and the ambitions of Qin Kun had grown larger by the day. The Dowager Empress began to reflect on her situation. If Qin Kun took the power, she would no longer be the Dowager Empress, and not even an Empress, but just a woman behind Qin Kun. As for the Emperor... would Qin Kun even tolerate him?
