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

Ye Chen looked at the generals of the Northwest Frontier Army who were being controlled one by one, and a sneer appeared on his face.

These guys looked pretty tough, but when faced with the incoming imperial guards, they didn't even have a chance to draw their swords before they were defeated.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that these guys are drunk and cannot display their true strength.

"Take them all into the palace, and seal the windows of the carriages that carry them, so that no one else can see them."

"After all, we are all generals of the border army, so we can't be too embarrassed."

"Also, shut them up, find a few more carriages, and only carry one person in each carriage."

"I am here under the Emperor's command to invite you generals to the palace. If you flee, it would be equivalent to disobeying the Emperor's order."

Ye Chen put his hands behind his back, his tone sounding calm and domineering.

After hearing his words, the eighteen border generals who had wanted to struggle were all stunned.

"You, you, you were sent by the Emperor, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Linley was practically stunned. He had been trying to show off his strength after drinking, but he had never expected that his kick would actually hit a wall.

If he had only wanted to kill a prefect, he would not have been afraid at all.

After all, he was a general of the frontier army and had a prominent family behind him. He believed that the emperor would not do anything to him.

And he was not stupid. He had no intention of really killing the scholar, he just injured him.

But if he disrespected the emperor's people and angered the emperor, the consequences would be something he could not bear.

"Take them all away."

Ye Chen waved his hand and didn't want to pay any attention to these eighteen border army generals.

And this was when these eighteen people were taken away one after another.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, big brother, I was wrong, I didn't mean it, I was just drunk, I was just drunk, it was an unintentional mistake!"

"Please don't complain to His Majesty. I owe you a favor. If you ever come to the northwest again, just go to Dunhuang and find the Lin family!"

When Lin Lei was being escorted away, he suddenly broke free from the imperial guards who were escorting him, and knelt down in front of Ye Chen with a "thump", saying.

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Good guy.

This guy is quite flexible.

Ye Chen suddenly felt that Lin Lei was quite interesting.

After all, being able to kneel down so quickly, as if without any shame at all, is not something that ordinary people can do.

"interesting."

Ye Chen smiled and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, these eighteen people have been taken away."

There were already quite a few carriages stationed in the post station.

After these eighteen border army generals were controlled, they were put on carriages and taken away.

"Then let's go too."

Ye Chen said to Shen Qiu.

He had already planned to go to the palace and deal with these eighteen border army generals in his capacity as emperor.

The main reason is that these important generals of the border army seem to be quite domineering. If Ye Chen does not reveal his true identity, he really cannot subdue these arrogant soldiers.

And when Ye Chen was about to leave the post station.

"Sir, I am Cai Chong, the prefect of Jiangxia County in Jingzhou. Nice to meet you!"

"Thank you for saving my life, sir."

A scholar suddenly stopped in front of Ye Chen and bowed.

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly.

He had no impression of the scholar in front of him.

However, as the governor of a county, he is already equivalent to a frontier official.

Cai Chong looks to be only about thirty years old.

Ye Chen felt that this guy must have a very powerful background.

After all, given Dayu's current situation, without any good family support, it would be too difficult for him to become an official.

"Cai Chong, are you from the Cai family in Jingzhou?"

"Ok?"

Cai Chong was slightly taken aback, then he bowed and said, "Sir, I am from the branch of the Cai family in Jingzhou. I am registered and have been to the ancestral temple."

A descendant of a side branch?

Ye Chen looked at Cai Chong with a slightly higher opinion.

The descendants of a family's side branch are naturally not as good as the family's direct descendants.

If a descendant of a branch family wants to become a high-ranking official, he must have some ability.

"Cai Chong, what are you doing in the capital as the governor of Jiangxia County?"

"Sir, I am here to deliver the household registration list of Jingzhou."

Cai Chong said so.

"Well, then you should hurry to the Ministry of Revenue. I have other things to do so I won't chat with you any more."

"Yes."

Cai Chong looked at Ye Chen and suddenly lowered his voice.

"Don't worry, sir. I didn't see anything that happened today."

"Ah."

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes.

He looked at Cai Chong and got on the carriage.

And after Shen Qiu got on the carriage.

Ye Chen then said to Shen Qiu: "Warn the others in the post station to keep their mouths shut. Anyone who dares to spread rumors will be killed without mercy!"

"promise!"

Shen Qiu clasped his fists.

"Also, check on Cai Chong for me."

"Yes!"
