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

In the Yangxin Palace.

Realizing that something had happened, Ye Chen quickly ran out of the palace.

Shen Qiu was standing outside the bedroom.

At this moment, Shen Qiu was wearing a dark red brocade men's suit, with a long sword at his waist, revealing a dashing and heroic posture. Coupled with his innate cold temperament, he looked like the cold light of a drawn sword, which made people feel dangerous and beautiful.

Seeing Ye Chen coming out, Shen Qiu quickly stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "Your Majesty."

"What exactly happened? Why did Boss Murong suddenly disappear? Qiu'er, have you found out anything?"

Ye Chen asked immediately.

"Your Majesty, we have received a letter from Boss Murong."

Shen Qiu took out a bamboo slip and handed it to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen took the bamboo slips, opened it, and carefully read the contents on it.

His brows were tightly furrowed together.

There are only a few short lines of words on the bamboo slips.

"Then Boss Murong said he anticipated someone would inquire about the lakeside cottage, so he led his men out of the city ahead of time?"

"She also said that if I wanted to see her, I had to go out of town and go to the Wangjiang Pavilion outside the city."

Ye Chen was in a complicated mood. Yang Dechang had not taken any action yet. He was busy looking at the confessions and the situation of the barbarians in Dayu.

Murong Yan was very alert and discovered the threat, so she took her people away in advance.

How smart this guy is.

This really surprised Ye Chen.

"I hope nothing happened."

Ye Chen sighed softly.

He thought something big had happened.

Unexpectedly, Murong Yan had predicted the crisis in advance.

"But why didn't this woman even say hello? Did she expect me to imprison her in the cold palace?"

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes again.

Since Murong Yan was able to predict in advance that Yang Dechang would cause trouble for her, she could naturally guess that Ye Chen might want to hide her.

She obviously didn't want to be restricted in any way, so she just ran away.

Ye Chen was in a somewhat bad mood.

This woman is so smart.

The emperor's thoughts can be guessed.

If this woman was a man, or was just a little ugly, Ye Chen would definitely find a way to kill her.

"Qiu'er, go tell the Queen Mother that tomorrow, after I've dealt with those noble families on death row, I'll be leaving the capital to take care of some matters."

"Your Majesty, the capital camp is the sphere of influence of powerful officials after all. If you leave the capital, I'm afraid you will not be safe."

Shen Qiu looked worried.

"Qiu'er, the troops in the capital cannot be mobilized without military tokens. Besides, if I leave the city secretly, who would know?"

"Just tell the Queen Mother that I must leave the city tomorrow. Boss Murong is out of town, so I must explain to her how to run the wheat and paper businesses."

"These are all important matters. We will need to raise new troops and all the money and food we need will depend on this!"

Ye Chen said to Shen Qiu with a serious face.

Hearing this, Shen Qiu had no way to refute it, so he finally agreed and retreated.

And after Shen Qiu left.

Ye Chen also returned to his bedroom.

"Your Majesty, are you still flipping cards today?"

As soon as Cheng'en saw Ye Chen, he stepped forward and asked.

"No, it's too late. Let Meng'er and Rui'er have a good rest."

Ye Chen yawned and asked the palace maid to change his clothes.

Then, he lay down on the dragon couch, and not long after, Ye Chen fell asleep.

Chunrui Palace.

Huarui stood in the attic, staring blankly in the direction of Yangxin Palace.

Soon, a palace maid came to her.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty did not turn over the cards today and went to bed late."

"Ah."

Huarui sighed softly.

She hasn't seen Ye Chen for two days.

Her heart was full of longing at the moment and she couldn't sleep well.

Although she knew that Ye Chen would definitely not be the only woman in his heart, she only had Ye Chen as a man.

So, she couldn't help but miss Ye Chen.

"Will His Majesty allow me to sleep with him tomorrow?"

Huarui lay in bed waiting, tossing and turning, and fell asleep very late.

And in the palace of the newly-enthroned imperial concubine.

Qin Man, like Hua Rui, waited until Ye Chen fell asleep before going to rest.

The next day, it was just dawn.

The bells rang loudly in the palace.

Ye Chen was awakened by the bell, then he got up and asked the palace maid to change his clothes.

After he put on the dragon robe and the emperor's crown, he left the Yangxin Palace and took a sedan chair to the Taiqian Palace.

When he arrived at Taiqian Palace.

Su Mengjiao was already sitting behind the dragon throne.

Ye Chen strode towards the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty, when you leave the capital today, please bring more people with you. I will give Qiu'er the imperial edict for the transfer of the Beijing camp."

As soon as Ye Chen sat down, Su Mengjiao's voice suddenly came from behind him.

Hearing this, Ye Chen quickly understood what Su Mengjiao meant.

There is an imperial edict to mobilize the Beijing camp. If any soldiers in the Beijing camp cause chaos, this imperial edict can be used to order those soldiers to return.

Not going back would be disobeying the order and would be a real rebellion.

"Queen Mother, thank you."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said to Su Mengjiao.

Hearing this, Su Mengjiao fell silent.

She had long been accustomed to Ye Chen's casual attitude towards her.

Soon after Ye Chen sat on the throne, all the officials had already entered.

"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor!"

"Long live the Queen Mother! Long live the Queen Mother!"

Seeing Ye Chen sitting upright on the dragon throne.

All the officials bowed in worship.

"Everyone loves you."

Ye Chen waved his hand and the eunuch who was delivering the message spoke for him.

All the officials stood up.

"If you have something to do, start the show, if nothing happens, leave the court!"

Officials who had memorials to submit came forward one after another.

One by one, bamboo slips were placed on the table in front of Ye Chen.

And wait until all the officials have submitted their memorials.

Before Ye Chen could speak, Yang Dechang stepped forward first.

"Your Majesty, I have a script!"

Yang Dechang clasped his fists towards Ye Chen.

Hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes were cold, but he was not surprised that Yang Dechang stood up.

"speak!"

"Your Majesty, I recently heard that a brothel in the capital city is home to many barbarians. Not only are these barbarians brave and valiant, they've also secretly dug a tunnel. I believe these barbarians are harboring evil intentions!"

Yang Dechang said in a firm tone, "Your Majesty, please issue an order to severely punish the owner of this brothel! Arrest all the people in that brothel and put them in the death row of the Ministry of Justice for strict interrogation!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen had no expression on his face.

Spit out two words.

"fart!"
