Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

Ye Chen was frank enough.

Zhang Lin was a man who worked for others and was not anyone's slave. He had no objection to being Ye Chen's subordinate.

"Sir, does Boss Murong agree to let me follow you?"

"Of course I agree. I can arrange for you to meet with Boss Murong."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said.

"Sir, there are some things I cannot tell you. But as for the rest, I have done a lot of work gathering information. I have even been to the northwestern border, to Tubo, to the Qiang territory, and I have also been an escort and dealt with many bandits."

Zhang Lin considered his words carefully before speaking word by word.

He still had reservations.

But Ye Chen expressed his understanding. After all, his current identity is a government guard. As a gangster, Zhang Lin really cannot let the government know some things.

However, after listening to Zhang Lin's description, Ye Chen felt that this guy was the right person to train the people in Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

He has traveled far and wide, worked as a spy, is experienced, and knows how to deal with thieves and bandits.

"Zhang Lin, from now on you will train the people of the Jing'an Marquisate for the imperial court. You must teach them everything you know, including the secrets and taboos of the martial arts world. You must not hold anything back. Do you understand?"

Ye Chen's eyes were like torches as he spoke to Zhang Lin.

"Well, sir, after I finish teaching these people, can I leave?"

Zhang Lin asked.

"You can leave today. Tomorrow morning, I will have someone arrange for you to go outside the city to teach the people of Jing'an Marquis' Mansion. Remember, this is the emperor's order!"

Ye Chen said with a serious face.

Hearing this, Zhang Lin's face changed drastically and he quickly stood up and knelt on the ground.

"The common people obey the decree!"

Seeing this, Ye Chen stood up and left the prison.

Shen Qiu followed him, and after he had already sat in the sedan chair, he suddenly said to Shen Qiu: "Qiu'er, has Meng'er entered the palace?"

"Your Majesty, Miss Qin has entered the palace."

"Well, let Meng'er wait for me in the Imperial Garden. Oh, and call Niu San as well. I need to tell him something."

Ye Chen gave the order.

Niu San was called here because he wanted to start making paper.

He called Qin Man over because he had something to say to her.

Zhang Lin seems to be a talented person, but Ye Chen still needs to take a look at his teaching level and his character.

After all, he is still Boss Murong's man. If he is a loyal and righteous person, Ye Chen has to talk to Boss Murong first if he wants to recruit such a talent.

But if he just does things for money, Ye Chen can just give him a little more money to get him to do the job. He will also have to tell Boss Murong about it, but it shouldn't be a big problem.

Therefore, Ye Chen had to send people into the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion to observe Zhang Lin's background.

When the sedan chair arrived at the Imperial Garden, Ye Chen saw Qin Man at the entrance of the Imperial Garden.

Qin Man was wearing a purple brocade dress at this time. Her pure temperament carried a hint of nobility, and her plump and graceful figure was perfectly outlined.

As soon as she saw Ye Chen, Qin Man's eyes lit up and she immediately came forward to greet him.

"My daughter greets His Majesty."

Qin Man immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Mian'er, there's no need to be so polite. Get up."

Ye Chen got off the sedan chair with a very gentle tone.

"Mian'er, walk with me. I have something to tell you."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said to Qin Man.

Hearing this, Qin Man immediately nodded.

Ye Chen immediately took Qin Meng into the imperial garden and saw the hundred or so people who were training.

These one hundred people are running, each of them running very seriously, and their team is very orderly. Occasionally, one or two people who fall behind will quickly catch up.

This is not much different from the well-trained soldiers Ye Chen saw in later generations.

"Mian'er, it's settled. I'll send some people into the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion. I'll also send people to keep an eye on Zhang Lin. You don't have to worry too much about it. My people will only be responsible for liaison between the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion and Zhang Lin. They won't interfere in the affairs of the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion."

After reviewing the one hundred people who were being trained, Ye Chen turned and said to Qin Man.

"Your Majesty, you can send anyone you want."

Qin Man nodded obediently.

For her, no matter who Ye Chen sent to infiltrate the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion, she would have no objection.

At this time, Shen Qiu brought Niu San to Ye Chen.

"I, Niu San, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Niu San knelt in front of Ye Chen and said.

"Niu San, I want you to do something."

"Niu Sanding will do his best to fulfill your Majesty's orders!"

Niu San said immediately.

"I want you to make something for me. I'll write down the manufacturing principles later. But you have to remember, this thing is only for you to read. After you have read it and memorized it, you must burn it immediately for me. You are not allowed to tell it to anyone else, otherwise I will not forgive you!"

Ye Chen's face became very serious. Paper was an extremely precious thing in ancient times. Even if the technology of making paper was mastered, it would still be in great demand.

He would definitely hold something like this tightly in his hands.

"Your Majesty, I obey your command!"

Niu San answered tremblingly.

"Oh, don't be so scared. As long as you can keep your mouth shut and complete the task I assign to you, I will reward you handsomely!"

Ye Chen's tone turned gentle, but he was using both kindness and force.

"Grass, I thank Your Majesty!"

Niu San was so touched that tears welled up in his old eyes.

"Okay, let's go down."

Ye Chen waved his hand and let Niu San go. Then he turned to Qin Man and said, "Man'er, I have to go out of the palace later. This time I have some things to do and it is not convenient to bring others with me. You can wait for me in the palace or go directly back to Jing'an Marquis Mansion. It's up to you."

Ye Chen has decided to go and take a look at the Lu Shang's hideout. After all, as it stands now, with the evidence in his hands, he will have no problem directly dismantling the Lu Shang's hideout, but he still cannot find out who is behind the Lu Shang.

As long as the backers of the Lu merchants are not found out, even if one Lu merchant is eliminated, there will still be thousands of Lu merchants.

Ye Chen still had to investigate to see how deep the water was.

The assassination attempt he suffered last time when he went out also reminded him that he would take risks every time he left the palace. It was really dangerous for Qin Man to follow him, so he did not plan to bring Qin Man with him this time.

"Your Majesty, I will wait for you in the palace."

Qin Man had no intention of leaving and looked at Ye Chen eagerly.

"Okay, don't worry, Meng'er, I should be back soon."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, then left the Imperial Garden and took a sedan chair to the Yangxin Palace. He was planning to change his clothes, but unexpectedly Shen Qiu suddenly stopped him.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is calling you over."

"Well, let's go to Kunning Palace."
