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

Zhongshu Province.

Yang Dechang looked at the documents piled in front of him, his old face as black as charcoal.

"This was done by the little emperor! It must have been him. I was really careless!"

Yang Dechang was so angry that he overturned all the documents on the table, feeling very annoyed.

He was originally waiting for Dou Yu to arrive with a large army, and then collect more information about papermaking and flour production before taking action.

But he never expected that Ye Chen would take action before him.

Moreover, he was extremely decisive once he took action. In almost one day, he eradicated all his spies in the entire capital.

Not only inside the city, but even outside the city, he lost more than 80% of his spies.

All of these were cultivated through his hard work over many years.

The loss was so great that even he, who had mastered the art of cultivating his energy, could not hold on any longer.

"Prime Minister, that young emperor is too treacherous. When our people were killed, the perpetrators ran away very quickly. Moreover, the time interval between the attacks by the perpetrators in the city did not exceed an hour. This must have been planned in advance."

Gao Yunhe was a little surprised.

Ye Chen's methods were so powerful that he was scared just thinking about it.

Within one day, the entire capital city changed drastically.

"Without good planning, the little emperor will not be able to accomplish anything."

Yang Dechang shook his head, his eyes were vicious but he immediately understood that if there was no powerful person to command him, Ye Chen would not have destroyed his ears and eyes so quickly.

"Prime Minister, what should we do now?"

Gao Yunhe asked with a worried look on his face.

"Investigate! Have the Ministry of Justice investigate with all its might. How could this be a revenge killing? Arrest the soldiers from the city guards and have them interrogate them!"

Yang Dechang gritted his teeth.

"But, Prime Minister, these people from the city guarding military department are officials after all, and the Ministry of Justice doesn't just have our people. We can't just torture them casually, but if we don't torture them, they won't tell the truth."

Gao Yunhe is difficult to talk about.

"Humph."

Yang Dechang's face darkened slightly, but he said, "The Ministry of Justice went to interrogate the soldiers guarding the city to prevent them from making a definitive judgment on these events. We can't let them define these events as revenge killings."

"Also, the Ministry of Justice can arrest some people who are related to papermaking and wheat flour. I will torture these people severely and force something out of their mouths."

"When General Kou arrives with his troops, I will take these confessions and settle accounts with the young emperor."

Yang Dechang's tone was steady, and he gradually returned to his previous state.

Things have happened.

Yang Dechang knew that it was irreversible, but he would never let Ye Chen classify these cases as revenge killings.

And plan to settle the score later!

He will not let go of anyone who dares to kill him.

"It seems that this is the only way."

Gao Yunhe looked at how calm Yang Dechang was, and his heart could not help but calm down, but he sighed.

You know, he was the one who controlled Yang Dechang's eyes and ears among the people. Now, most of his channels for obtaining information from the people were suddenly cut off.

He felt like he had less power, which made him very upset.

He was even more dissatisfied with Ye Chen.

However, his ability was limited, so he could only listen to Yang Dechang.

At this moment, an official from the Ministry of War suddenly came to Gao Yunhe.

"Sir, military reports have arrived from the northwest."

The official handed a report to Gao Yunhe.

After Gao Yunhe finished reading the report, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face, and he handed the report to Yang Dechang.

"Prime Minister, General Kou will be here tomorrow."

"Ok?"

A gleam of light immediately flashed in Yang Dechang's eyes, and then he asked, "So fast?"

"General Kou must have traveled day and night, and brought 8,000 men with him."

Gao Yunhe cupped his hands, raised the corner of his mouth, and said, "They are all cavalry!"

"it is good!"

The corners of Yang Dechang's mouth also rose.

"Brother Dingfang, tomorrow, let's go out of the city together to welcome General Kou!"

"Yes!"

Gao Yunhe agreed.

In the capital, the Supervisory Office.

Inside the secret room.

Ye Chen looked at Yun Fuyao, who had beads of sweat on his forehead, stared at the map, and kept issuing various orders, and he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

This bookish woman is definitely not a nerd.

When she was executing a plan, she could always come up with the most appropriate countermeasures as quickly as possible. In Ye Chen's opinion, even if he did it, he couldn't do better than her ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

Under her dispatch and command, within one day.

Three thousand people were killed in and around the capital, but related incidents remained under control.

It can be said that these are linked together, such capabilities.

It's not something that can be mastered by those who have read many military books.

"If Fuyao were a man, being a commander wouldn't be a problem. However, Fuyao is too good-looking now, so I'm afraid she won't be able to convince the crowd."

Ye Chen thought in his heart.

It is not easy to be a qualified military commander.

But Yun Fuyao clearly has this potential.

"Fuyao, come here."

Ye Chen waved his hand.

Yun Fuyao immediately came over and wiped the sweat from his head, but he didn't care about the tea that Ye Chen pushed over. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, except for some people on the list outside the capital who escaped, the other targets have been solved."

"Fuyao, take a rest. I am already very satisfied."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said to Yun Fuyao.

"Your Majesty, Fuyao wants to try harder. I think those who escaped will definitely be in contact with each other. Maybe there is a chance to catch them all in one fell swoop."

Yun Fuyao showed persistence and said.

"Well, go ahead."

Well, this is still a woman with a strong sense of responsibility.

Ye Chen felt that if it were in the future, a woman like Yun Fuyao would most likely become a strong woman in the business.

But it’s normal if you think about it, after all, Yun Fuyao is the woman who wrote the guide to raising children.

Without a bit of obsession and ambition, it is impossible to achieve such an achievement.

Ye Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Watching Yun Fuyao continue to operate with interest.

But that's it.

Shen Qiu suddenly came to him and took out a piece of letter with a complicated expression.

"This letter was sent from outside the capital, saying that His Majesty must come and open it."

Hearing this, Ye Chen took the letter, looked at the signature on it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

This is Murong Yan's letter.

But when Ye Chen opened the letter and read its contents, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.
