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

Yang Dechang always thought that as long as the army led by Kou Yu arrived, he could control Ye Chen.

After all, he will have a strong army and horses by then.

No matter what strategy Ye Chen used, it would be futile in the face of absolute strength.

But the current situation was something he never expected.

"Your Majesty, the border troops have gathered outside the capital without any orders from the Ministry of War. This is probably not appropriate. Please issue an order immediately to send them all back!"

Yang Dechang gritted his teeth, then spoke to Ye Chen in a deep voice.

In response to Yang Dechang's words, Ye Chen simply said, "Why? Prime Minister Yang, when Kou Yu mobilized 30,000 troops, I didn't even get the news?"

"If you can mobilize troops to quell the rebellion against the bandits, can't I mobilize some to assess the generals on the border? You know, the reason we need to select a general to control the northwest border army is precisely because Kou Yu has deserted his post!"

Hearing this, Yang Dechang took a deep breath, his face as sullen as an abyss, and said, "Your Majesty, even if we want to select a general to command the Northwest Frontier Army, we shouldn't gather them outside the capital. Besides, General Kou Yu is here to suppress the bandits. Once the bandits are defeated, Kou Yu will lead his troops back."

"I, this old minister, suggest that the armies led by other generals on the northwest border be stationed a hundred miles away from the capital."

"Wait until General Kou Yu has dealt with the Taiyuan bandits, then let him lead his troops back!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen snorted coldly.

"No!"

Hearing this, Yang Dechang gritted his teeth.

"Your Majesty, if you do this, are you going to use that perverse method to select people to lead the border generals? This is not feasible!"

"No aristocratic family in the world would agree to this method!"

This is what Edward Yang said.

"It's not up to you to decide whether you agree or not!"

Ye Chen looked at Yang Dechang with a look of contempt and said, "Prime Minister Yang, today you have repeatedly disobeyed my orders and shown contempt to me."

"Disregard for the law of the land."

"I think you are too old and no longer qualified to be the Prime Minister!"

Ye Chen had the upper hand at this moment, so naturally he wanted to maximize his benefits, so he pointed the gun directly at Yang Dechang.

However, facing Ye Chen's words, Yang Dechang frowned.

Before, he was the one who pressed Ye Chen step by step, but now it was Ye Chen who pressed him step by step. The situation changed too quickly.

However, before he could figure out how to answer Ye Chen, Gao Yunhe, who was standing behind him, lost his composure first.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is also devoted to the country. He mobilized the border troops to deal with the Taiyuan bandits. Please understand your majesty."

Hearing this, Ye Chen turned around abruptly, his eyes suddenly becoming fierce.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound.

Gao Yunhe flew more than ten feet away.

Yang Dechang opened his eyes slightly, and the ministers were shocked.

Ye Chen just waved his hand and looked disdainful.

"Don't I know why Yang Dechang is mobilizing troops? Is it your turn to remind me?"

Ye Chen snorted coldly, then looked at Yang Dechang with cold eyes, turned around and walked back to the dragon throne.

When Ye Chen had already sat on the dragon throne, he waved his hand and said, "Prime Minister Yang mobilized the border troops without telling me. He failed to discipline his subordinates. He will be fined one year's salary!"

"Grand Marshal Gao Yunhe knew the truth but refused to report it. He even dared to remind me right in front of me, treating me like a fool. I order him to go back and reflect on his mistakes. He is not allowed to come out for three years!"

Hearing this, Gao Yunhe had already been knocked unconscious, but the imperial guards came forward and dragged Gao Yunhe away like a dead dog.

Yang Dechang turned his head and looked at Gao Yunhe, whose old face was as black as charcoal.

At this moment, Ye Chen really couldn't give him any face at all.

After all, it was he who started the falling out.

Ye Chen no longer needs to be reasonable with his people.

What surprised Yang Dechang even more was that Ye Chen actually let him off lightly and did not really kill him. Instead, he severely punished Gao Yunhe.

Even though it had come to this point, when both sides had completely torn their faces apart, Ye Chen was still able to restrain the urge to use force against him.

This also made it impossible for him to plead for Gao Yunhe.

Because if he pleaded for mercy, it would be equivalent to giving Ye Chen an excuse.

By then, Gao Yunhe’s punishment may not just be confinement to reflection.

At this moment, Ye Chen was clearly removing his arms, and after that, he left him speechless!

"Come here, give orders to Kou Yu to lead his troops to retreat immediately. Anyone who dares to approach the Di Gui army camp is equivalent to a traitor!"

"promise!"

A eunuch took the order and left.

Yang Dechang trembled all over, but could not utter any words to refute.

Kou Yu's 30,000 troops outside the capital were no longer a threat to Ye Chen's power.

At this time, Ye Chen had already taken control of the situation.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, just leave."

Ye Chen waved his hand and said.

"I will take my leave."

All the officials knelt down and left the Qianqing Palace together.

Until then.

Su Mengjiao's voice was heard from behind Ye Chen.

"Emperor, is this your arrangement?"

Su Mengjiao lifted the bead curtain and stood out.

At this moment, she was wearing a black phoenix robe with gold thread, which clearly outlined her perfect figure, highlighting her domineering and noble temperament, and her unparalleled elegance.

"You not only transferred the generals from the northwest, you also secretly took away part of their troops."

"Did you originally want to mobilize their troops, but were afraid they would shirk responsibility? So you deliberately mobilized them first, and then issued an imperial decree to mobilize their troops?"

Su Mengjiao's eyes sparkled as she stared at Ye Chen.

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Queen Dowager, you guessed right."

Now that the cards have been revealed, Ye Chen naturally doesn't bother to hide it anymore.

Su Mengjiao pursed her lips and said in a dejected tone, "I really can't think of this plan."

Afterwards, Su Mengjiao pouted again, and said in a rather dissatisfied tone, "However, Your Majesty, you kept it a secret from me for eight days. During these eight days, Yang Dechang became more and more arrogant, while you hid in the Yangxin Palace. I had to face this old man every time!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen raised his eyebrows.

"Queen Dowager, you're putting on a good show. Unless you didn't let Yang Dechang see the clues when you were in power, otherwise, with this man's cunning and scheming, my plan may not be able to be implemented smoothly."

"You have made a great contribution to forcing Yang Dechang to this point this time, Queen Mother."

Ye Chen felt that Su Mengjiao was showing the attitude of a little girl at this moment, as if she wanted him to coax her, so he complimented her.

Hearing this, Su Mengjiao's dissatisfaction disappeared.

She smiled slightly, turned and left.

"Emperor, please write down the next matter regarding the general's assessment and give it to me. I will review it before implementing it."

Hearing this, Ye Chen just curled the corner of his mouth.

"Once Kou Yu is completely dealt with, I will definitely try to overthrow Yang Dechang and then take over the government myself."

Ye Chen said in his heart.

From the beginning to the end, he never thought about sharing power with Su Mengjiao.
