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

After Ye Chen put on the dragon robe, he was going to deal with the affairs of the Ministry of War, but because Hua Rui was there, he simply let Hua Rui read the memorial.

He was happy to have some free time and began to think about how to call Qin Man over.

"Your Majesty, Madam Xue has arrived."

"Well, let Mrs. Xue come over."

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and the corners of his mouth quickly rose.

Before Qin Man arrived, Madam Xue arrived first, so the three women living together were at least halfway complete.

When Madam Xue, dressed in a snow-white brocade dress, walked into the Yangxin Palace and saw Hua Rui sitting next to Ye Chen, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her pretty face.

"Rui'er, when Madam Xue is composing music later, you should go and help her."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said.

After all, Madam Xue was his elder, so it would be fine for her to play music for him, since he was the emperor after all. But if she were to play music for Hua Rui, it would be somewhat inappropriate.

Even if this news doesn't spread outside, there is no guarantee that Mrs. Xue herself will not feel aggrieved.

Ye Chen wanted to experience the joy of cultivation from Madam Xue. If Madam Xue felt aggrieved and stopped playing music, then there would be no way to cultivate her and it would be boring.

Although Huarui had never touched a musical instrument, she could help Mrs. Xue hold the instrument. When Mrs. Xue played the piano, Huarui would also try to operate the piano.

The two women get along very well.

Madam Xue and Hua Rui were already very familiar with each other. At first, she felt somewhat surprised and awkward when she saw Hua Rui sitting with Ye Chen, but after Hua Rui helped her, this dissatisfaction disappeared.

Ye Chen was very happy to see the two women getting along well.

Just after lunch.

Mrs. Xue was about to leave, but was stopped by Ye Chen.

"Rui'er also wants to learn some music, Madam Xue, why don't you stay and teach him?"

Hearing this, Madam Xue was slightly stunned. She looked at Hua Rui who was standing beside her, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.

He still wanted some help.

Although the palace maids could help, they were servants who took care of her after all, so she naturally could not really teach them, so she was the one who played the piano and music.

But if she could cultivate the stamens, she would undoubtedly save a lot of effort.

Moreover, the sounds of the two instruments mixed together are more pleasant.

Just when Madam Xue began to teach Hua Rui seriously, Ye Chen felt that the time had come and he could send someone to invite Qin Man.

But at this moment, Cheng'en suddenly came to his side.

"Your Majesty, news has come from outside the capital that many unidentified people have suddenly appeared around the villages producing paper and wheat flour."

"More people of unknown origin have also appeared around the distribution centers in the capital, such as the lakeside cottage."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen frowned slightly and his expression immediately turned ugly.

Are the powerful officials now not only paying attention to places like the lakeside cottage in the capital, but are they also extending their hands outside the capital?

"Go to Kunning Palace and tell the Queen Mother that I need to leave the palace!"

Ye Chen pondered for a while and then said to Cheng En.

Ye Chen still had to go and find out in person what the situation was like around the lakeside cottage and the villages outside the capital.

"Yes."

Cheng'en retreated immediately, and Ye Chen felt helpless as he looked at Madam Xue and Hua Rui who were fiddling with their musical instruments.

It seems that the plan of three girls living together and sleeping in the same quilt has to be postponed.

There is no way, business is still the most important thing. There is still a long time to go, so Ye Chen is not in a hurry.

"Madam Xue, Rui'er, I have something to do today, please leave first."

Ye Chen spoke to the two women in a gentle tone.

Upon hearing this, Madam Xue and Hua Rui both retreated. Neither of the two women resisted Ye Chen's orders at all.

After all, it seemed that Ye Chen really had something important to do.

Not long after the two women left, Cheng'en returned and brought news.

The Queen Mother expressed her full support for Ye Chen's idea of ​​leaving the palace.

She has no choice but to support it now, whether in the palace or outside the palace, including outside the capital.

Ye Chen's power has already surpassed hers.

Where Ye Chen goes is no longer something she can control.

When Ye Chen changed into ordinary people's clothes and left the Yangxin Palace, he saw Shen Qiu coming with a carriage.

At this time, Shen Qiu was wearing light blue Hanfu, and her cool temperament remained the same, with beautiful demeanor.

"Qiu'er, follow me out of the palace!"

Ye Chen got on the carriage and headed out of the palace.

"Your Majesty, what is the purpose of leaving the palace this time?"

Shen Qiu asked doubtfully after he got on the carriage.

"The lakeside cottages and the paper-making and wheat-flour-making villages outside the city have all been targeted."

Ye Chen said in a calm tone.

Hearing this, Shen Qiu's face darkened slightly, and he said, "Your Majesty, are you going to get rid of all these people?"

"I plan to see the situation first."

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. He hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he didn't want to act rashly.

After all, he had no idea whether these powerful officials would take action immediately or how many people they had secretly deployed.

Moreover, the Supervisory Office is still in ruins, and the wounded yamen runners have not yet fully recovered. The people in the capital are in panic, and the Beijing camp outside the city needs to replace soldiers. In this extraordinary period, Ye Chen still has to try his best to stabilize the situation first.

Upon hearing this, Shenqiu said no more. The carriage quickly left the palace and headed towards the small building by the lake.

However, Ye Chen lifted the carriage curtain, looked at the street outside, and suddenly said: "I still won't go to the lakeside cottage. Qiu'er, send someone to the lakeside cottage and ask Huamei to come to see me."

"Also, the people you send out should not be disguised, but wear the uniforms of the Imperial Guards!"

Ye Chen's eyes became much sharper.

He sent the imperial guards to the lakeside cottage to clearly tell Yang Dechang and others that he was in charge of this lakeside cottage.

If you want to touch the flour and papermaking business, it depends on whether they can afford the cost!

In addition, after Ye Chen revealed his cards like this, he could also see the other party's reaction. If the people around the lakeside cottage and the village outside the city still did not restrain themselves after seeing the imperial guards.

Then Ye Chen could conclude that Yang Dechang was behind these people.

Only this guy dares and has the ability to directly confront the imperial power.

This also means that the number of people who will attack the lakeside cottage and the village outside the city will be extremely large.

The reason why Ye Chen did not go to the lakeside cottage at this time was that he did not want to expose himself to Yang Dechang's eyes and ears.

"Once the situation outside the city stabilizes, I will have Di Gui lead his troops into the city to eliminate all of Yang Dechang's spies!"

Ye Chen snorted coldly, murderous intent already rising in his heart.

He wanted to kill as many people as possible before Kou Yu arrived!
