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

After Ye Chen brought Liu Chengyu out of the Yangxin Palace, he directly sat in the emperor's ceremonial sedan chair, while Liu Chengyu followed beside the sedan chair.

At the beginning, Liu Chengyu lowered his head and seemed extremely reserved. Even though he was a child of a noble family, this was the first time for him to follow the emperor.

However, the emperor was sitting in a sedan chair at this time, looking very majestic, and he could only follow beside the sedan chair, and he couldn't help feeling a little pressured.

I just feel that the power of the emperor is unfathomable.

Liu Chengyu was a little nervous.

"General Liu."

Ye Chen's tone was gentle, showing a tolerant attitude.

"The general is here!"

Liu Chengyu immediately clasped his fists.

"I asked you to come out because I have something to tell you."

Ye Chen turned his head to look at Liu Chengyu and could feel the other party's nervousness.

He didn't care at all, and instead said directly to Liu Chengyu: "After you become the commander of the Beijing Camp, I need you to find out who in the Beijing Camp is a die-hard fan of Yang Dechang and who can be won over."

"Then, regarding the soldiers in the Beijing camp, you must find out which of them have already been recruited by Yang Dechang's men, and which are simply here to eat the military rations."

"Prepare a list for me as soon as possible. I will have General Di cooperate with you to replace all the soldiers who have been recruited by Yang Dechang's men!"

A gleam of light flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. If he wanted to control the Beijing camp army, if he directly attacked the children of the aristocratic families who were loyal to Yang Dechang, he would definitely encounter great resistance.

Kou Yu is about to arrive with his elite troops, so Ye Chen must recruit the soldiers of the Beijing Camp as quickly as possible.

Naturally, he didn't have the extra time to argue with those noble families, so he simply cut off the source of the problem.

Start directly with the soldiers and replace all those soldiers loyal to Yang Dechang with Di Gui's men.

By then, if he can win over a group of noble and military generals who are sitting on the fence, he will be able to take over the Beijing camp.

"promise!"

Liu Chengyu frowned slightly. He could hear that he seemed to have been involved in the struggle between the emperor and the powerful ministers, which was undoubtedly a very troublesome matter.

But his position as the chief commander of the Beijing Camp was originally given to him by Ye Chen, not to mention that he was not irreplaceable to Ye Chen. If he wanted to keep his current official position, he could only stand on Ye Chen's side.

At the same time, he couldn't help but admire in his heart that Ye Chen's methods were so interconnected that even he, a martial artist, felt shocked.

"Alright, General Liu is tired today, so go back and rest. Tomorrow I will have someone take you to the Jingying Camp outside the city. From tomorrow on, you will officially take over the position of the commander of the Jingying Camp."

Ye Chen looked at Liu Chengyu and was very satisfied with his obedient appearance.

"I will obey your orders!"

Liu Chengyu clasped his fists excitedly.

Ye Chen then had Liu Chengyu escorted out of the palace.

"Cheng'en, send someone to follow General Liu and see if he meets anyone after leaving the palace."

After Liu Chengyu had walked away, Ye Chen suddenly said to Cheng'en.

He could already guess that Yang Dechang and others would definitely try to win over Liu Chengyu.

But he still had to see what kind of person Liu Chengyu was. If he was really involved with Yang Dechang, then he would have to see whether this guy would continue to implement his policies.

If Liu Chengyu was really completely won over by Yang Dechang, Ye Chen would regard Liu Chengyu as a political idiot and would definitely replace him.

"Yes."

Cheng'en immediately arranged for someone to follow Liu Chengyu.

Then, Ye Chen did not return to Yangxin Palace.

"I want to go and see the wounded at the Supervisory Office."

Ye Chen said to Cheng En who had returned

"promise."

Ye Chen sat in the emperor's ceremonial guard and walked towards the harem

He hasn't seen the wounded in these days.

Previously, he had handed over the task of taking care of the wounded to the imperial guards controlled by Su Mengjiao. Moreover, those wounded were already at the critical stage of treatment. If Ye Chen appeared, these wounded might get excited and their injuries might become even worse.

But now the injuries of most of the wounded have stabilized, so Ye Chen also planned to go and take a look.

The wounded soldiers from the Supervisory Office were placed by Shen Qiu in several deserted cold palaces.

Normally, few people go to these cold palaces, which were originally overgrown with weeds. But now, these cold palaces seem to be very lively.

All the rooms in the cold palace were occupied, and tents were set up in the courtyard.

The imperial guards guarded the main traffic routes.

Men are not allowed to enter this harem.

Although he made an exception these days, Shen Qiu still sent the imperial guards to guard the areas around these cold palaces tightly.

The doctors and imperial guards who treated the wounded could only move around these cold palaces.

These people are absolutely not allowed to set foot in other places. At the same time, except for the eunuchs who deliver supplies, other palace maids are not allowed to set foot near these cold palaces.

When Ye Chen saw the four imperial guards guarding the intersection, the four imperial guards immediately knelt down.

"Everyone, get up."

Ye Chen spoke in a gentle tone. After the imperial guards stood up, he got down from the sedan chair.

But when he was about to enter a cold palace to see the wounded, Shen Qiu, who had learned the news, rushed over.

"Your Majesty, there may be an epidemic in these cold palaces. Please think twice."

Shen Qiu said so.

Hearing this, Ye Chen frowned slightly.

"Qiu'er, are any of the wounded sick?"

Ye Chen asked immediately.

"Your Majesty, not yet, but when there are too many wounded, an epidemic is likely to break out."

"Qiu'er, go tell the Ministry of Works to get some lime and sprinkle it around the cold palace. That way, there won't be any more epidemics."

Ye Chen pondered for a while and then said.

Epidemics are the most difficult thing to guard against, but they often appear in places with poor hygiene and prone to breeding of germs.

In the past, the army was filled with wounded soldiers, which was indeed a perfect environment for the outbreak of epidemics.

However, Ye Chen is not too worried about this now.

The doctors in the cold palace were treating the wounded according to the method he taught. There were not many deaths, and the sanitary conditions in the palace were good, so naturally there were not many germs breeding.

So, Ye Chen strode into the cold palace.

But soon I heard a familiar voice.

"Your Majesty, long live His Majesty."

A burly figure with a cloth covering his face and mouth and nose suddenly knelt on the ground.

Ye Chen recognized him immediately. Isn’t this Zhang Lin?

At this moment, Zhang Lin knelt on one knee and clasped his fists.

Ye Chen looked at Zhang Lin and raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had forgotten that Zhang Lin had been staying in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion all these days, constantly training Supervisory Office runners for him.

He had sent people to investigate this guy before, wanting to reuse him, but later there were too many things to do and he forgot about it.

But now, looking at Zhang Lin, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. It has been more than a month, and the investigation should be over.

Now, perhaps it’s time to let Zhang Lin play a bigger role.
