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

In Kunning Palace.

Ye Chen stared into Su Mengjiao's eyes and said word by word: "Queen Dowager, let me tell you this."

"The Northwest Border Army has long been under Kou Yu's control, so naturally they are suppressed by his power. I believe the generals from the aristocratic families in the border army are also jealous, hateful and timid towards Kou Yu."

"They would certainly hope to have the same status as Kou Yu."

"And I can give them a chance."

Hearing this, Su Mengjiao narrowed her eyes, thought carefully, and then asked Ye Chen: "Emperor, what do you mean?"

"I will summon the generals of the Northwestern Frontier Army and conduct an examination among them, using the method of casting lots from a golden urn to select the appropriate general!"

Ye Chen snorted and said, "Then, I will give this general the honorary position of Border General, giving him temporary command authority, but he will not have the real power to mobilize troops without the tiger talisman."

"Next, I will have this man divide the troops in Kou Yu's hands and occupy the border areas controlled by Kou Yu. In the future, I will also use him to place people on the border!"

Hearing this, Su Mengjiao was slightly stunned, and then looked at Ye Chen in disbelief.

"Emperor, you, aren't you being a little too idealistic? Can you divide up Kou Yu's troops just because you want to?"

"Oh, Queen Mother, I have my own way of dealing with this."

Ye Chen smiled confidently and said, "You also have some confidence in me. I can definitely make Kou Yu hand over his troops obediently!"

Hearing this, Su Mengjiao pursed her lips. She looked at Ye Chen, but she only felt that Ye Chen became more and more unfamiliar.

She couldn't see through his thoughts at all.

Moreover, the intelligence network set up by Ye Chen once again came into play. She didn't even know that Yang Dechang had sent people to the northwest, but Ye Chen already knew about it.

All of this made her feel that Ye Chen was unfathomable.

"Emperor, I can trust you, but is there anything I can do about this?"

Su Mengjiao bit her lip and asked again.

At this moment, she really wanted to do something useful.

At least let Ye Chen know that without her as the empress dowager, Ye Chen still can't do everything well!

"Queen Mother, I really do need your help with something."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, then said to Su Mengjiao.

"Oh, what's the deal?"

Su Mengjiao raised her chin slightly and asked.

"Tomorrow morning, during the court session, I will use the Golden Urn Lots method to select the next commander of the Beijing Camp. During this time, the powerful ministers may cause trouble. If the officials oppose it, I will need the Empress Dowager's support to allow me to fully implement this matter."

"And after tomorrow, I will need to send an imperial edict to the northwest border to summon all those border army generals to the capital!"

Ye Chen's tone became very gentle.

It's not okay to be not gentle.

If he really implements the Golden Urn Lot-casting Tomorrow, Yang Dechang and others will definitely strongly oppose it.

But he will force this matter to go forward.

This requires the full support of Empress Dowager Su Mengjiao.

After all, the emperor's seal is still with Su Mengjiao.

This is even more true for imperial edicts issued to border areas.

"Okay, I promise you everything!"

The corners of Su Mengjiao's mouth quickly rose up. Since Ye Chen still needed her, it meant that Ye Chen couldn't leave her. This made her feel very happy and she felt that she was still very useful.

She still has a place in the court.

She even felt that without her, Su Mengjiao, Ye Chen would not be able to handle it.

After Ye Chen finished discussing with Su Mengjiao, he stood up and said goodbye and left Kunning Palace.

When he was sitting in the emperor's carriage and left Kunning Palace for Yangxin Palace, Shen Qiu, who was responsible for sending him off, suddenly came to his side.

"Your Majesty, Yun Fuyao's father, Marquis Fenxin, requests an audience."

Shen Qiu clasped his fists towards Ye Chen.

"Tell him I'm busy."

Ye Chen waved his hand and didn't want to pay any attention to Yun Fuyao's father.

This is just a dumbass.

Yun Fuyao's brother is a playboy.

Ye Chen was not interested in this idiot or this playboy.

In fact, Ye Chen felt that the fact that these two people had a relative like Yun Fuyao was purely a genetic mutation.

And after returning to the Yangxin Palace.

Ye Chen practiced martial arts for a while, and when Cheng En brought the signs, he flipped over two signs as usual.

As a result, Cheng'en soon came to report that Qin Man was ill.

Ye Chen immediately realized that his plan to sleep in the same bed was ruined again.

He felt that this was not going to work.

The two women always used illness as an excuse to brush him off, and he really had no way to deal with it.

"Next time, I'll just keep both women in the palace and give it a try."

While Ye Chen asked Cheng'en to pick up the pistil, he started to think about it in his mind.

And no words were spoken that night.

The next morning.

Accompanied by the ringing of bells, Ye Chen quickly woke up and gently patted the smooth back of the beauty in his arms.

"Rui'er, get up and dress me."

Although he wanted to get close to Hua Rui in the early morning, Ye Chen knew that he had other important things to do today.

He has to go to the morning court.

You can enjoy yourself first after you finish your work!

"Ah."

Huarui's eyes were full of smiles. She nodded slowly and sat up. The quilt slipped off, revealing her whole body. But even though her face was blushing, she did not try to cover it up.

Because, at this moment, her entire body and mind already belonged to Ye Chen.
