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

When Ye Chen left the village, the light cavalry had not yet arrived.

Di Gui remained calm in the face of danger. He quickly arranged for his soldiers to chop off a large number of people's heads, and then arranged for people to defend and cover the rear.

Di Gui looked calm and issued instructions in an orderly manner.

The soldiers acted upon receiving the order, moving quickly and orderly, cooperating closely like precise gears.

The remaining soldiers were all in high spirits and well-equipped.

They were dressed in sturdy armor, holding sharp weapons, and their eyes revealed determination and fearlessness.

The troops are in neat and orderly formation, with strict military discipline, like an indestructible barrier.

When the light cavalry appeared and saw the rearguard troops retreating in an orderly manner, they only dared to shoot arrows from a distance and did not dare to charge or get too close.

Ye Chen returned to the palace and immediately ordered Shen Qiu to call Su Fu into the palace in the carriage.

Afterwards, he returned to the Yangxin Palace, and the palace maids immediately put on the dragon robe for him.

The moment the dragon robe was put on, an invisible aura emanated.

Ye Chen raised his eyes slightly, his gaze was deep, and the air around him seemed to freeze, making people dare not look directly at him.

The solemn dragon robe on his body was shining, and every detail showed dignity and majesty.

He stood quietly, but his aura was already captivating.

After getting dressed, Ye Chen took the emperor's ceremonial guard and headed to the Taiqian Palace.

When Ye Chen arrived at Taiqian Palace, he sat upright on the dragon throne with an expressionless face and a majestic air without even getting angry.

Soon, Su Fu hurried over. He saluted respectfully, and every move he made showed the duty of a subject.

After he knelt down, he lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly at the emperor. His respectful attitude revealed his deep respect for the emperor.

Ye Chen looked at Su Fu with admiration in his eyes.

He nodded slightly, his words gentle: "Su Fu, I order you to go to the Heavenly Prison and interrogate those Tartar captives."

Su Fu quickly responded, "I obey your order."

When he stood up, he raised his eyes inadvertently and instantly felt the powerful aura emanating from Ye Chen.

The powerful aura seemed to be able to suffocate people. Su Fu was secretly shocked and felt that Ye Chen's aura was getting stronger and stronger.

Ye Chen looked at Su Fu's departing back, his mind churning with thoughts.

Su Fu's appearance was handsome with a hint of heroism. Although he was wearing official uniform, his delicate skin and exquisite facial features could not be concealed.

It's really too beautiful.

Of course, in addition to appearance, Ye Chen values ​​his abilities more!

Ye Chen recalled that although he now sat on the throne, there were very few truly capable ministers around him.

In the court, most of them are still Yang Dechang's people

There is only one person as capable as Su Fu, Du Min.

But Du Min was a pure scholar and could not lead troops, while Su Fu had experience in leading people to climb Mount Tai.

Able in literature and martial arts.

And speak Tatar!

Ye Chen couldn't help but feel envious.

Su Mengjiao has a lot of talented people under her.

But Ye Chen quickly restrained his emotions.

Quietly waiting for the results of Su Fu's interrogation.

Two hours later, Su Fu returned to Taiqian Palace and reported the results of the interrogation to Ye Chen.

After listening to Su Fu's words.

Ye Chen immediately lost his composure.

"Su Fu, are you saying that those Tatars had connections with Bingzhou a hundred years ago?

Moreover, Bingzhou has been trading with nomadic peoples for a long time. Are all the officials in Bingzhou involved?"

Ye Chen's expression instantly became serious.

After hundreds of years of collusion and operation with the Tatars, Bingzhou has probably become completely the territory of the Ding family. This is truly a huge cancer hidden in the dark.

Ye Chen frowned slightly. He knew very well that if this situation was not handled properly, it would endanger the stability of the entire northern part of Dayu.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Chen didn't have any good solution for the time being. This kind of cancer can only be cured slowly, and cutting the Gordian knot is likely to have the opposite effect.

Ye Chen looked at Su Fu again and asked, "Su Fu, what are you doing now?"

Su Fu bowed respectfully and said, "I have been ordered to set up the examination hall so that the border army commanders can be tested."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, looked at Su Fu and said, "The exam room is very complicated, so don't overwork yourself."

Although there were no direct words of concern in the words, they were full of care.

Su Fu's body trembled slightly when he heard this. He quickly bowed his head and responded respectfully, "Your Majesty is concerned about this. I will do my best and will not slack off in the slightest."

At this moment, his cheeks flushed slightly, his eyes flickered, his hands clasped together unconsciously, and he felt a little nervous in his heart.

"Okay, back off."

Ye Chen waved his hand, signaling Su Fu to leave. Su Fu saluted again and slowly retreated.

After Su Fu left, Ye Chen turned to look at Cheng En beside him and said calmly, "Cheng En, go to Kunning Palace and tell the Queen Mother that I will also go to court tomorrow."

Cheng'en quickly bowed and replied in a steady voice, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'll do it right away."

After saying that, he retreated cautiously.

But as soon as Cheng'en left, Shen Qiu came to Taiqian Palace.

At this time, Shen Qiu was wearing a green brocade dress, like an orchid blooming in a valley.

Her hair was as soft as ink and was gently tied up. A few strands of hair fell on her cheeks, adding a touch of gracefulness.

Her eyes were clear and bright, yet with a subtle sense of distance, like stars in a cold night.

She stood there quietly, exuding her usual cool aura, making people afraid to approach her easily, yet she appeared pure and detached, with unparalleled grace and elegance.

She clasped her fists towards Ye Chen and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you over."

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and his thoughts flowed instantly.

He knew very well that at the court tomorrow morning, Yang Dechang would most likely take action and make a big fuss about the light cavalry rebellion.

And Su Mengjiao must have guessed this when she invited herself at this time.

Yang Dechang's influence in the court cannot be underestimated. Su Mengjiao must have realized the crisis, so she wanted to discuss countermeasures with herself.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen no longer hesitated, walked out of the Taiqian Palace, sat on the emperor's ceremonial guard, and headed to the Kunning Palace.

As soon as Ye Chen walked into Kunning Palace, he saw Su Mengjiao sitting in the courtyard.

At this time, Su Mengjiao was wearing a golden phoenix crown and bridal robe, and she was dazzling, like a dazzling sun.

The gorgeous clothes were embroidered with exquisite phoenix patterns, which were lifelike, exuding nobility and majesty.

Su Mengjiao raised her eyes slightly, revealing a domineering look in her eyes.

Her face is absolutely beautiful, her skin is as white as snow, and there is almost no flaw.

Her eyebrows were slightly raised, with an innate arrogance.

Unparalleled elegance.

Ye Chen walked straight to the opposite side of Su Mengjiao, sat down carelessly, with an unruly look on his face.

His eyes met Su Mengjiao's, without a trace of awe.

In his eyes, Su Mengjiao was not the high and mighty empress dowager, but just someone with whom he could have an equal dialogue.
