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

Chapter 3

"This bitch deserves to die!"

Ye Chen threw down the sword and said calmly: "Queen Mother, please pick up the body."

"Emperor."

Su Jiao frowned slightly, and now she came to her senses, but a hint of blame could not help but appear in her tone.

"How could you kill her? Humph!"

Su Jiao waved her sleeves and walked away.

She just felt that Ye Chen killed people to vent his anger, regardless of the overall situation.

Seeing her like this, Ye Chen didn't care. What he wanted now was to recover his strength as soon as possible and put on the dragon robe.

The former tyrant is no longer around.

Now Ye Chen needs to figure out the situation in the court as soon as possible.

The powerful ministers are in power, and even the imperial concubine dares to feed medicine to the emperor.

There is also the Empress Dowager, who can control the imperial guards and her power is undoubtedly too great.

Is he a puppet emperor?

in the case of.

What good end can a puppet emperor have?

"No, I can't be a puppet, someone come!"

Ye Chen tried to shout.

After a moment of silence, just when he thought that no one was serving him anymore, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded.

An old eunuch walked in and bowed.

"His Majesty."

"Are you, Chaoen?"

Ye Chen suddenly remembered.

The eunuch in front of him was the one who raised him and had been taking care of his daily life. It was no exaggeration to say that he was his confidant. However, after Concubine Da fed him medicine, the old eunuch disappeared.

"Your Majesty, it's the old slave. The old slave is back, Your Majesty."

"Where have you been these past three years?"

"Old slave, the Imperial Concubine has ordered me to clean the toilet."

Chaoen said with some sadness.

"Chao En, you have suffered."

Ye Chen sighed lightly. At this moment, the only one left by his side was this old eunuch.

"It's not suffering, it's your Majesty who is suffering!"

"Chao En, dress me and then tell me about the past three years."

"promise!"

Chao En stepped forward, helped Ye Chen up, then ran down and took out the dragon robe.

After Ye Chen put on the dragon robe, he had a general idea of the current situation in the court.

When he was not paralyzed, powerful officials had already become powerful in Dayu's court.

The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Revenue are the six ministries of the court. Originally, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Justice were all controlled by loyal ministers loyal to Ye Chen three years ago.

But now, they have all been replaced by Prime Minister Yang Dechang's people.

The powerful officials are in power and have absolute power over everything!

The Empress Dowager now controlled the inner palace guards and even ruled the country from behind the scenes when he was paralyzed. She controlled the imperial seal.

The powerful relatives of the emperor’s wife are the most powerful.

Emperor Ye Chen has been completely sidelined.

It's no different from a puppet!

"No, I must take power back!"

Ye Chen gritted his teeth. After putting on the dragon robe, he was supported by Chao En and walked a few steps. He had recovered a lot of strength. Then he pushed Chao En away and walked out of the bedroom tremblingly.

Chao En couldn't help wiping away tears when he saw Ye Chen's back.

The emperor finally stood up.

Walking out of the bedroom, he came to the main hall of the Yangxin Palace.

Ye Chen saw that Su Jiao was already sitting on the dragon throne.

When Su Jiao saw Ye Chen coming out, she just glanced at him and then looked away.

Ye Chen didn't care, but sat down next to him.

"Emperor, if you are not feeling well, please don't come out."

Su Jiao said in a cold tone: "Otherwise, I'll scare you when I see the corpse later."

Hearing this, Ye Chen looked around.

It was discovered that there were bloodstains in many places on the floor of the palace, and some palace servants were lying on the ground, trying hard to wipe them.

"Queen Mother, I am not afraid."

Ye Chen responded indifferently.

Hearing this, Su Jiao didn't say much in response.

At this time, Shen Wan, dressed in silver armor, walked over.

Shen Wan first looked at Ye Chen with her beautiful cold eyes, and then handed a piece of brocade to Su Jiao.

"Queen Mother, a letter from the King of the North!"

Upon hearing this, Su Jiao immediately took the brocade.

"Queen Dowager, the King of the Northern Territory asked me to tell you that he is aware of what Prime Minister Yang reported during the court session a few days ago. I hope you will consider the overall situation first."

Upon hearing this, Su Jiao's face immediately darkened.

"Queen Mother, the King of the Northern Territory said that the Tatars are powerful and our border troops will be defeated if we go out. Furthermore, the barbarians in the south are ready to make a move, and the Tibetans in the west are mobilizing heavy troops to gather at the border!"

Shen Wan sighed softly, but lowered her voice.

"Prime Minister Yang is in power in the court, and all the money, food, and military resources are allocated by him. At this time, we can only temporarily avoid the sharp edge."

"To temporarily avoid the sharp edge, do we have to agree to cede land and send tribute and women to the Tatars in exchange for peace?"

Su Jiao asked with a cold face.

The air seemed to have become a little colder.

"Queen Dowager, the King of the Northern Territory also said that this is only a temporary measure. Moreover, Prime Minister Yang has already sent people to contact the Tatar envoys. Even if the Queen Dowager disapproves, the Tatar army will attack, and the three Shuofang counties will still be in danger. What can be done?"

".."

Su Jiao bit her lips hard.

Shen Wan is hers, and the King of the North is her father.

I have always been on her side, and if there was no other way, I would never let her compromise.

But as the daughter of the King of the North, Su Jiao witnessed with her own eyes what the Tatars did when they invaded the south.

Know the miserable plight of the Han people under the Tartar cavalry.

Moreover, the land of Shuofang is an important place under the jurisdiction of the King of the Northern Territory. If it is ceded, the power of the King of the Northern Territory will suffer great damage.

This move not only means abandoning more than 100,000 Han people in Shuofang, but also striking a blow to the forces behind Su Jiao.

If he succeeds, not only will the Han people in the north suffer, but Su Jiao may no longer be able to control the political situation, and Dayu's country will be on the verge of destruction.

Unfortunately, Su Jiao had no way out.

Without ceding territory in exchange for peace, who can stop the Tatar cavalry?

The powerful officials in the court are using an open conspiracy!

"I will allow you to consider it again."

Su Jiao sighed softly, tapped her forehead lightly with her white fingers, and said.

Shen Wan said no more and stood aside silently.

“Don’t think about it!”

Shen Wan and Su Jiao were both stunned and turned to look.

Ye Chen's eyes were sharp, but he had already stood up.

Cede territory for peace?

Also giving away annual tributes and women?

I'm giving you shit!
