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

In the cold palace.

Ye Chen looked at the scales and pondered for a moment.

"Zhang Lin, why are you here?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that many of the servants in the Supervisory Office had suffered great misfortunes, so I applied to come and assist the doctors here and lend a hand."

Zhang Lin's tone was filled with sadness as he said, "Your Majesty, many of the people here were trained by me after all."

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly.

"Zhang Lin, come with me."

"Yes."

Ye Chen walked forward, and Zhang Lin did not follow him, but stood at a distance from him.

After all, Ye Chen is protected by the imperial guards, and Zhang Lin does not have an official position at the moment. Even if he is unarmed, he cannot get too close to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen began to inspect the wounded and found that most of them had recovered well, and those with broken arms and legs had survived.

When they saw Ye Chen coming, many of the wounded were very excited and many wanted to struggle, but they were all calmed down by Ye Chen.

Shen Qiu also repeatedly reminded Ye Chen not to get too close to the wounded.

In this regard, Ye Chen also followed Shen Qiu's advice.

But when he saw Tuoba Lieye kneeling with a broken leg and a wooden stick in his hand, he took two steps forward and asked the imperial guards to help him up.

"Tuoba Lieye, come here, I have something to tell you."

Ye Chen waved his hand and asked the imperial guards to support Tuoba Lieye. Then he walked directly into the main hall of a cold palace. Shen Qiu immediately asked someone to bring a chair.

"Qiu'er, have someone bring two more."

After Ye Chen sat down, he turned to Shen Qiu and asked someone to bring two more stools over.

"Zhang Lin, Lord Tuoba, please take a seat."

Ye Chen said in a gentle tone.

Hearing this, Zhang Lin and Tuoba Lieye felt a little uneasy, especially Tuoba Lieye. He was now a disabled person. Although he had an official position, he didn't think he could hold the position of the commander of the imperial guards for long.

How could someone like him be qualified to sit opposite Ye Chen?

However, Ye Chen kept his word, so Zhang Lin and Tuoba Lieye still sat down.

"I want you to do something for me."

After Zhang Lin and Tuoba Lieye sat down.

Ye Chen suddenly said with a serious face.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lin and Tuoba Lieye both showed confusion on their faces.

Ye Chen then said, "My dear Tuoba, you are originally from the Xianbei people, right?"

"Yes, I am a Xianbei."

Tuoba Lieye replied.

"Do you know the Xianbei language? Can you communicate with the Xianbei people?"

Ye Chen asked again.

"Your Majesty, I can speak Xianbei language and communicate with them."

Tuoba Lieye nodded and said.

"Then I want you to go to the places where the Xianbei people live in Dayu's territory. Find out for me the current living conditions of these Xianbei people in Dayu's territory, their population, how many people are able to fight, and who their current leader is."

"I want to know all these things clearly."

"I appoint you as an imperial envoy. You will go to these places with my imperial edict, but you must conduct investigations secretly. If you encounter any unexpected situations, you can mobilize troops from various places based on the imperial edict!"

"If you encounter resistance during the investigation, feel free to kill them!"

Ye Chen stared at Tuoba Lieye and said so.

When he said the word "kill", his tone was very calm.

But the imperial aura he exuded made everyone present feel suffocated.

"Yes, the minister leads the order!"

Tuoba Lieye's body began to tremble slightly and he quickly knelt down.

He was extremely excited.

Ye Chen really wants to use him.

He is now a cripple, and he thought that the best outcome for him would be to receive a substantial pension, retire, and go home to farm.

But Ye Chen obviously gave this useless man a new chance.

He immediately made up his mind to die and decided to work for Ye Chen until his death.

"Zhang Lin."

Ye Chen looked at Tuoba Lieye's excited expression, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, then he turned to look at Zhang Lin.

"Little, little guy is here."

Zhang Lin quickly bowed his head and clasped his fists.

"I appoint you as the adjutant of the imperial envoy. You will go with Tuoba Lieye. In addition, you can select ten people from the Supervisory Office to go with you."

Ye Chen did not call too many people, as too many people would easily attract other people's attention.

He asked Tuoba Lieye to investigate secretly.

"No, I accept your order and thank you!"

Zhang Lin quickly knelt down and said.

Seeing this, Ye Chen stood up with satisfaction and walked out of the cold palace.

And Shen Qiu followed him.

After Ye Chen had left the cold palace, Shen Qiu couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, why do you want to investigate those Xianbei people?"

"Oh, I'm just a little curious."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said so.

Hearing this, Shen Qiu suspected that Ye Chen had other purposes.

But she really couldn't think of anything, so she just wanted to report it to Su Mengjiao.

Let Su Mengjiao think about it.

Ye Chen had just gotten into the sedan chair and Shen Qiu had left when Cheng En came forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, someone did go to see General Liu, but General Liu ignored them."

"Ah."

Lin Ziyun couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that Liu Chengyu is indeed a talent that can be cultivated.

But Cheng'en's next words quickly made Ye Chen put away the smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, news has arrived from outside the capital, saying that the northwest border troops are showing signs of mobilization."

Cheng En said so.

".It seems that Kou Yu is coming."

Ye Chen's eyes became sharp, but he also understood that a more intense contest was about to begin.
