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

above the hall.

Yang Dechang looked at Ye Chen, who seemed to have surrendered, with shining eyes, and thought about taking a step further.

"Your Majesty, there's still time. If you were a step slower, General Kou might have already made his move!"

Yang Dechang bowed.

"Is this really necessary?"

Ye Chen looked troubled.

"Your Majesty, if you agree, I am willing to write a letter to persuade General Kou!"

"That's not right. After all, my words are golden!"

Ye Chen finally shook his head and continued to speak with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Your Majesty, although those Taiyuan bandits are hateful, they are also my people, Dayu. Your Majesty broke your promise to prevent the suffering of all people. The people of the world will never say anything bad about your Majesty!"

The smile on Yang Dechang's face became more and more obvious as he stepped forward.

However, facing this.

Ye Chen, however, looked like he was ready to compromise and give in.

Behind him, Su Mengjiao clenched her fists tightly.

Although Ye Chen had vowed many times before that he really had a way.

But at this moment, in Su Mengjiao's opinion, Ye Chen did not seem to have any solution at all.

Quite the opposite.

It seemed like Ye Chen had been forced into a desperate situation by Yang Dechang.

Either they remove Di Gui and Liu Chengyu from their positions and admit defeat, or they can only watch Kou Yu lead an army of 3 to besiege the troops outside the city.

This was when the soldiers in the Beijing camp had not yet completely surrendered.

It was almost impossible for Di Gui and Liu Chengyu's armies to win.

Su Mengjiao no longer saw any hope of Ye Chen's victory.

She hesitated whether to ask for Ye Chen's help, although she knew that even if she asked, the situation would not get any better.

But he could do nothing and watched Yang Dechang gain the upper hand.

This made Su Mengjiao feel very uncomfortable.

But just when she was about to decide whether to speak.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

"Report!"

"Generals Lin Lei, Wang An, Ma Ting, Han Sui, and others from the northwest have already arrived outside the palace."

Hearing this, Yang Dechang was not surprised at all.

When unusual movements occurred on the northwest border, news was passed from the northwestern counties to the Ministry of War.

Wang Dechang had already known about the unusual movements of the various border generals guarding the northwest border, but he didn't care.

Ye Chen's call for these border awards did not put any pressure on him.

"Your Majesty, before meeting with the generals at the border, please order the dismissal of Liu Chengyu and Di Gui."

Yang Dechang took another step forward and bowed to Ye Chen.

"Ah."

Ye Chen looked at Yang Dechang at this moment, but his eyes became cold.

"No."

Ye Chen said so.

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, then I, this old minister, can only refrain from trying to persuade General Kou."

Yang Decheng shook his head and said with a look of deep sorrow, "It seems that the people outside the capital are really going to suffer."

"Your Majesty's actions will surely be recorded in history books in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen looked at Yang Dechang, then said to the eunuch who delivered the message, "Go tell those generals to discipline their subordinates and tell them that the assessment for the position of general in charge of the defense of the new northwest border will not only test military tactics and strategy."

“There’s also a real sandbox drill test!”

"I want them to lead their troops to a duel in the martial arts arena with wooden swords and spears!"

Ye Chen waved his hand and said.

And heard what Ye Chen said.

Yang Dechang didn't care at first, until he heard that the eunuch had left, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Are these generals from the northwest border coming with their troops?

Yang Dechang was very surprised.

In the news he had received before.

These generals from the northwest border clearly came alone on horseback.

"Prime Minister Yang, don't assume that Kou Yu's troops are the only ones outside the capital. Furthermore, I can tell you that these generals outside the palace are also unaware that some of their own troops have arrived."

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and said to Yang Dechang.

At this moment, Yang Dechang's face suddenly darkened.

"Could it be that the troops coming from the northwest border are more than 30,000?"

Yang Dechang frowned, and the smile on his face completely disappeared.

"I, not only have I sent back the generals guarding the northwest border, I have also sent people to deliver several imperial edicts to the border."

Ye Chen stood up and walked towards Yang Dechang step by step.

And every step he took.

It seemed as if they brought tremendous pressure to Yang Dechang, forcing him to retreat.

"With the border general away, my imperial edict is still very effective. I said that some troops need to be mobilized for the assessment. Those deputy generals didn't have the courage to disobey the order, so they all agreed."

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If you hadn't asked Kou Yu to mobilize 30,000 troops, I wouldn't have been able to dispatch troops from the border to follow behind those 30,000 troops, and then transfer the border troops outside the capital without you noticing."

"Yang Dechang, you are very confused now. How many troops did I send over here? Is it 30,000, 50,000, or 100,000? You can guess."

Hearing this, Yang Dechang gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Bad thing.

He had planned everything, but he didn't expect Ye Chen to have this trick up his sleeve.

Outside the city, Kou Yu's military advantage had disappeared at this time.
