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

In Taiqian Palace.

Ye Chen looked at Yang Dechang and realized clearly that this guy was cheating.

He tried to cover up Chen Xiu's crime by saying that businessmen cannot be trusted.

However, Ye Chen wanted to use practical actions to let this person know that he was just dreaming.

"Prime Minister Yang, if the merchants' words are untrustworthy, then can we trust the censors' words? Can we trust the words of these examinees?"

Ye Chen then turned his gaze to the imperial censors kneeling on the ground.

"Do you, the Imperial Censors, know what crime you are guilty of? With the testimony of these examinees and so much evidence, if you are not being directed by someone, then I will treat you as the mastermind, raid your homes, and immediately exterminate your entire clan!"

Ye Chen's tone was very tough and iron-blooded.

When the imperial censors heard this, they were all shocked.

Several of the censors looked hesitant, but one could no longer endure it.

This is a crime of genocide!

"Your Majesty, I, I am really being ordered around by someone!"

"Your Majesty, I am also under orders!"

Hearing this, Chen Xiu was shocked.

The next moment, Yang Dechang could no longer sit still.

"Censor Zhang, Censor Kou, you two must think carefully. If you make random accusations, it will be a serious crime!"

Yang Dechang's tone was low and his eyes became sharp.

In an instant, the two imperial censors who stood up immediately shut up.

"Prime Minister Yang, if you interrupt me again when I'm asking questions, I'll punish you for disrespect!"

Ye Chen slammed the dragon table and stared at Yang Dechang with sharp eyes.

Yang Dechang's expression remained unchanged, seemingly unmoved, but his anger towards Ye Chen grew even stronger.

He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

But Ye Chen looked at the two imperial censors again.

"As long as you tell the truth about who ordered you, you will be nothing more than accomplices. I promise to save your lives. But if you don't tell the truth, you will have no chance!"

Ye Chen's tone was grim.

Upon hearing this, an imperial censor stood up tremblingly and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, all of this was done by the Imperial Censor. It was the Imperial Censor who ordered us to do this!"

"Bullshit! How dare you frame me!"

Imperial Censor Chen Xiu roared.

If he had not been wearing shackles on his hands and feet, he would have pounced on the censor and pressed him to the ground.

However, facing Chen Xiu's roar.

The censor shrank back and said, "Your Majesty, when the Grand Censor ordered me to do these things, Censor Liu was there too. He will testify on my behalf! I didn't wrong him. I really didn't wrong him!"

"Yes, yes, that's what the Imperial Censor told us to do! Your Majesty, we are also following orders!"

"Your Majesty, if it weren't for the Imperial Censor, we wouldn't have the guts to do such a thing!"

Many imperial censors also stood up and spoke.

"Shut up, shut up! You are all framing me! You are all in collusion!"

Chen Xiu was trembling all over and was extremely angry.

However, at this moment, Ye Chen's voice sounded in his ears like a death warrant.

"Master Censor, are you still not aware of your guilt?"

Ye Chen stared at the Imperial Censor Chen Xiu, his tone had returned to calm, but there was a hint of coldness in the calmness.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged! Please understand!"

The Imperial Censor kowtowed.

"Oh, these imperial censors have wronged you, right?"

Ye Chen sneered and said.

"Your Majesty, there may really be an injustice here. We should investigate first! We can't just believe someone else's one-sided story!"

Yang Dechang bowed.

He continued to speak for Chen Xiu

"Oh, Prime Minister Yang, do you think we need to investigate further? We already have witnesses, and there are so many of them. The money can also serve as physical evidence."

"Besides, I ordered the Imperial Censor to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors, but this person left the palace. This is disobeying the Imperial Order and deceiving the Emperor!"

"Come here! Arrest Chen Xiu and take him to the Heavenly Prison! Once I have thoroughly investigated all the evidence against him, I will try him together!"

Ye Chen said as if it was the final word.

And listened to Ye Chen's words.

Chen Xiu's old face immediately turned pale, and a gloomy look appeared on Yang Dechang's face.

He also understood that under the current circumstances, he could no longer protect Chen Xiu.

But at this moment.

Duke Fuguo Cao Chang suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, I recently received a transfer order from the Ministry of War. It's time for me to return to the South!"

"Also, there has been a recent rebellion by foreign tribes in southern Xinjiang. I suspect spies have entered the country from various southern provinces. I implore Your Majesty to allow me to lead the troops to investigate."

Hearing this, Ye Chen frowned slightly. Cao Chang's sudden action caught him off guard.

Yang Dechang then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the border issue must be taken seriously! This old minister humbly requests Your Majesty to allow Duke Fuguo to lead the troops for a thorough investigation!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen immediately narrowed his eyes.

"Minister of War!"

The Minister of War Huangfu Guang immediately stood up.

"Is there a rebellion in southern Xinjiang? Why are there no memorials?"

Ye Chen stared at Huangfu Guang and asked.

"I have heard that there is indeed a rebellion in Southern Xinjiang, but the local officials in various parts of Southern Xinjiang have not yet reported it. I believe that Duke Fuguo, who is in Southern Xinjiang, must know more about it than I do!"

Huangfu Guang said so.

"Oh?"

Ye Chen frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Since what Fuguogong said is so convincing, then I will send someone to investigate how many spies have come from the Yue Kingdom in the south, and then Fuguogong can lead the troops to eliminate them."

Upon hearing this, Cao Chang clasped his fists expressionlessly and then retreated.

This decisive and efficient approach made Ye Chen feel something was wrong.

And then, the imperial guards stepped forward.

"No, I am innocent. I have been wronged. Prime Minister, I have been wronged!"

Chen Xiu roared with all his might, but was soon escorted out of Taiqian Palace.

Edward Yang watched the whole process with a gloomy face.

The Imperial Censor Chen was thrown into prison, and he tragically lost a close confidant.

He thought the matter was over here.

Unexpectedly, Ye Chen suddenly said: "Come here, bring the last person up to me!"

Anyone else?

Yang Dechang's face darkened. When he turned around, he saw a man with scars all over his body and blood-stained clothes being dragged into the Taiqian Palace by the imperial guards.
