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

After leaving the Taiqian Palace, Ye Chen sat on the emperor's ceremonial procession and walked towards the Yangxin Palace.

For the next three days, he behaved as usual and showed no signs of panic.

However, regarding the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, Ye Chen had to read the relevant memorials every day.

And three days later, in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yang Dechang, who had been guarded by the imperial guards and was not allowed to go out of the main door or the second door, finally walked out of the room for the first time.

"Humph!"

Yang Dechang looked at the retreating imperial guards and snorted softly. He had memorized the appearances of all these imperial guards in his mind.

He is only temporarily out of power now, and the emperor has not yet taken any harsh measures against him.

Once he finds an opportunity, he will definitely take revenge.

But now he has to lie low!

After experiencing setbacks and reflecting on his mistakes in seclusion, Yang Dechang finally figured things out.

Ye Chen's strength has been growing, and the emperor is no longer the fool he used to be.

Yang Dechang's right-hand men were eliminated one by one by Ye Chen.

This made Yang Dechang realize that it would be unwise to confront Ye Chen head-on at this time.

Therefore, he should hide his edge now and wait until the time is right to take action.

"Why did the little emperor suddenly let me go? I must know!"

Yang Dechang narrowed his eyes, knowing what Ye Chen was afraid of, so he could maximize his advantage.

Only by making Ye Chen afraid to touch him can he accumulate strength in secret.

"Master, this was sent from outside."

The housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion came forward and handed over a bamboo slip.

Yang Dechang took the bamboo slips and spread them out to take a look. A strange look immediately flashed in his eyes.

He had a clear idea in his mind.

"Ding Wen, you are really good!"

"More than 20,000 Tatar cavalry."

A cold light flashed in Yang Dechang's eyes. He already understood why Ye Chen was so cautious.

But he was not very happy, instead he felt that the situation was out of control

He was naturally very clear about how many soldiers and horses were in Bingzhou. He thought that after controlling the money and grain, these local aristocratic families would have to follow his orders and would not cause any trouble.

But now he discovered that these aristocratic families really had great ambitions.

He colluded with foreign tribes and led 3 cavalrymen south. Was this just to rescue Kou Yu?

Yang Dechang didn't believe it.

Ding Wen and the Tatars might be here to seize power.

However, Yang Dechang still has to rely on this army now.

He had to rely on this force to hold back Ye Chen's army and force Ye Chen to continue to tolerate him. This was the key to saving his life and maintaining his power.

"Bring me some paper and pen. I want to write a letter!"

Yang Dechang waved his hand and someone immediately brought him writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.

Yang Dechang quickly wrote a letter and handed it to the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Send it secretly to this old man, and deliver it to Governor Ding."

"promise!"

The butler retreated with the letter in his hand, and soon after, a carriage carrying food arrived at the Prime Minister's residence.

When the carriage left, the coachman was carrying the letter.

However, just as the vegetable seller was leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, a man quietly followed the carriage and left the city at the same time.

Inside the palace.

In the Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Ye Chen is listening to music.

Mrs. Xue has been getting along very well with Qin Man and Hua Rui these days.

At this moment, Madam Xue was playing the flute and Qin Man was playing the drum, but Hua Rui, who was supposed to play the violin, was replaced by an ordinary palace maid.

Hua Rui and Qin Rou have a tacit understanding and will never appear at the same time.

The little palace maid was not very good at playing the violin and could only play a supporting role.

The performance of this piece of music mainly depended on Madam Xue and Qin Man, but both women also tried their best. The music sounded melodious and very pleasant.

Ye Chen listened to the music, drank grape wine, and watched a dozen palace maids dancing.

He was in a cheerful mood.

This is the emperor's day.

Ye Chen has already experienced the benefits of being an emperor.

However, Qin Man and Hua Rui were always unwilling to come out at the same time, which was a bit regrettable.

It’s impossible to sleep in the same quilt.

"It would be great if we could recruit Huamei into the palace."

Ye Chen suddenly felt a little regretful. Huamei was still outside the city, while Bingzhou's cavalry was gradually approaching the capital.

These troops from Bingzhou also sent out many scouts.

It is dangerous to leave the capital, so Ye Chen naturally cannot go out.

Therefore, the matter of asking Murong Yan to return the person had to be put on hold for the time being.

Suddenly, Cheng'en came up.

"Your Majesty, Guard Shen is here."

"Let him come over."

Ye Chen nodded immediately and put away his smile in an instant.

Shen Qiu must have something urgent to tell him.

When Shen Qiu came to him, he handed him a letter.

"News has arrived from the Imperial Guards monitoring Yang Dechang."

"Ah."

Ye Chen immediately took the envelope, took a look at it, and said, "Qiu'er, go tell the Queen Mother that I will attend court tomorrow."

"Also, have the Empress Dowager issue an imperial decree, ordering Bingzhou Governor Ding Wen to come to the capital to see the Emperor immediately!"

Hearing this, Shen Qiu was slightly stunned, then clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"

And after Shen Qiu left.

Ye Chen turned his head and looked towards the north. Ding Wen was only about an hour away from the capital.

And as long as Ding Wen doesn't dare to disobey the order and really comes, Ye Chen will have to confront him directly during the court tomorrow!
