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

After the next court.

Yang Dechang did not go to the Secretariat, but took sick leave and left the entire palace.

After Yang Dechang returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he went straight to the reception hall.

It didn't take long.

A horse-drawn carriage carrying vegetables drove slowly through the busy city and into the Prime Minister's residence.

When they arrived deep inside the Prime Minister's Mansion, a figure wearing a black cloak and a conical hat on his head walked down from the carriage with his head lowered.

Followed by.

The figure walked into the lobby.

Yang Dechang then blocked the other servants.

The figure took off his hat and it turned out to be Gao Yunhe.

At this moment, Gao Yunhe's right cheek was swollen. He looked around cautiously before bowing to Yang Dechang.

"Prime Minister Yang, is the journey safe?"

"Brother Dingfang, don't worry. Every day at this time, someone will deliver food to my house and yours. There are more than a dozen such groups. The food delivery also includes many wealthy families in the capital. Not many people know that many of these people are my subordinates."

Yang Dechang's tone was very calm. He had been working in the court and among the people for a long time, and he had people he trained everywhere. Even though many of his spies had been eliminated by Ye Chen, a lean camel was still bigger than a horse.

He still has a lot of hidden threads.

Meet with Gao Yunhe in secret.

Yang Dechang asked himself if he could still do it.

"That's good. Prime Minister, what should we do now?"

Gao Yunhe asked Yang Dechang again.

"Humph, this little emperor's methods are really getting more and more sophisticated. The killer move that I thought would be able to turn the tables has been cracked by the little emperor!"

Yang Dechang sighed lightly. He had to admit that he had failed again.

"The spies the young emperor has planted among the people must have seen through my tactics long ago, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to deploy them so quickly!"

Yang Dechang shook his head again. The Northwestern Border Army arrived outside the capital on the same day.

The two sides arrived almost at the same time. Even though this was because the infantry led by Kou Yu were not yet fully equipped with armor and weapons, and their marching speed was slow, the timing was so accurate that it undoubtedly meant that Ye Chen had already mobilized the Northwest Border Army a few days after Kou Yu led his troops away.

"If we had known earlier, we would have asked Kou Yu to speed up his journey, not bring too much armor and weapons, and reach the capital as soon as possible!"

Gao Yunhe gritted his teeth and said with red eyes.

"It's useless to say this now. I have already sent people outside the capital to order Kou Yu to lead his army to retreat ten miles. Kou Yu's entire army has been inactive for the past few days. However, I don't think the little emperor will let Kou Yu go."

Yang Dechang's face turned grim as he said, "Inform the civil officials to collectively impeach those border generals who remain in the capital. On the grounds that the border troops remaining outside the capital are a threat, the young emperor should withdraw all these generals and their troops!"

"If the young emperor brings up Kou Yu again, just say that Kou Yu is dealing with the Taiyuan bandit army. The situation is different."

"Not only the officials in the capital, but also the governors of all places must submit memorials to me!"

Hearing this, Gao Yunhe frowned slightly and asked, "But Prime Minister, the young emperor shouldn't care about these memorials, right?"

"No matter if the little emperor cares or not, at least he has to build up momentum for me first!"

Yang Dechang shook his head and said, "I can't let the young emperor take action against General Kou. I must at least discredit all the border troops gathered outside the capital. That way, the young emperor won't have any reason to act rashly."

"Also, I will write a letter to the various noble families in the northwest border, asking them to properly discipline their children and not to go with the little emperor."

"Those border troops outside the capital can't stay forever. They will have to withdraw sooner or later. After they leave, as long as General Kou is safe, I can still deal with that little emperor!"

Yang Dechang has decided to attack instead of defend before the little emperor has any reason to take action.

Hearing this, Gao Yunhe nodded slightly.

"It seems that this is the only way now. However, Prime Minister, what should we do about the assessment of the generals over there?"

"The young emperor hasn't come up with the rules yet. If he still uses the same assessment method as the commander of the Beijing Camp, then I will definitely do my utmost to stop it!"

"But Prime Minister, what if we can't stop it?"

"Even if we can't stop it, we must ensure that the commander-in-chief who controls the Northwest Border Army this time is ours! We should support the descendants of the several Northwest families who once relied on us!"

"Prime Minister, what if the person who takes the throne is not someone we support?"

"Then wait, another month and a half. If the emperor fails to fulfill his promise, I will force him to go to the northern border and let the Tatars destroy him!"

Yang Dechang waved his hand, indicating that even if this plan failed, he still had a backup plan.

The final winner must be him!
