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

In Kunning Palace, Su Mengjiao looked at Ye Chen's casual appearance. Although she felt a little helpless, she had already gotten used to it.

She frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Emperor, Yang Dechang will definitely launch an attack tomorrow. Do you have a plan to deal with it? I heard that you have already asked Su Fu to interrogate the Tartar captives."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a calm smile. He said in a steady tone, "Since the Queen Mother already knows, then it's correct. Now that we have the Tatar prisoners as witnesses, there's no need to worry about Yang Dechang making a big fuss about the light cavalry rebellion."

He raised his chin slightly, his expression full of confidence, as if everything was under his control.

Su Mengjiao felt relieved after hearing this, but she still looked at Ye Chen with some worry.

"It's probably not enough for the emperor to rely solely on those Tatars. After all, they are foreigners."

"Oh, Queen Mother, we have witnesses anyway, which is more convincing than Yang Dechang's empty words. You don't have to worry."

Ye Chen smiled confidently and said.

Hearing this, Su Mengjiao's worries were finally relieved a little.

"But Emperor, what about the 50,000 troops under Ding Wen's command? They don't look like they're leaving. Those light cavalry are still killing the people around the capital."

Su Mengjiao's brows furrowed again, and her worry became even stronger.

Ding Wen, the governor of Bingzhou, had an army of more than 50,000 men, including 30,000 cavalry. This powerful military force was truly terrifying.

Su Mengjiao often couldn't sleep because of this.

But Ye Chen looked calm and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. As long as they don't fight in the wild, there is nothing to be afraid of."

There was a glint of wisdom in his eyes, as if everything had been calculated by him.

"I will discredit these people and make them the target of public outcry around the capital. I will also distribute weapons to the people so that they can spontaneously organize themselves to fight the cavalry. At the same time, I will have Di Gui and his men rush to support us at any time. As long as we can hold out until Di Gui and his men arrive, the people will be safe."

Ye Chen explained his plan in an orderly manner, his tone firm and powerful.

Hearing Ye Chen's thorough preparations, Su Mengjiao's heart finally settled down.

She looked at Ye Chen with admiration in her eyes.

Every time he encountered a threat, Ye Chen could always think of a good way to deal with it.

This is a skill she doesn't even possess.

Only Ye Chen can make Yang Dechang lose face.

Seeing that Su Mengjiao's emotions had stabilized a little, Ye Chen remained calm on the surface, but a hint of imperceptible cunning flashed in his eyes.

He had his own plan in mind, a plan that he was hiding from Su Mengjiao.

He planned to train a group of militiamen who looked like ordinary people and were inconspicuous in daily life.

However, if they need to be recruited, they can be transformed into soldiers at any time.

Although their combat effectiveness is certainly not as good as that of regular troops, they have an absolute advantage in numbers, enough to become a force that cannot be underestimated.

Ye Chen's eyes revealed a hint of anticipation, as if he had already seen these militiamen playing a huge role at the critical moment.

He also knew that in the current situation, more strength means more chances of winning.

These militiamen might one day help him deal a fatal blow to the enemy at a critical moment.

Moreover, in the past, the people were content to farm and live peaceful lives, so organizing a militia was indeed extremely difficult.

But now, the new cavalry were burning, killing and looting everywhere, and the people were in panic. They urgently needed to protect themselves.

This fear has become a powerful driving force for organizing militias.

Ye Chen then thought of the huge intelligence network he already had in his hands, which started from the capital and extended to the surrounding areas of the capital.

This net can assist militia in combat.

Ye Chen knew very well that with the command of the intelligence organization network, these militias could flexibly retreat, concentrate or provide support to various places.

As time goes by, he can call upon these militias at any time to help his cause.

After comforting Su Mengjiao, Ye Chen left Kunning Palace.

He was sitting on the emperor's ceremonial procession and was about to return to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity when suddenly, a beautiful piece of music came into his ears.

The sound was like the sound of nature, melodious and graceful, as if it could penetrate the soul.

Every note is like a lively elf, dancing in the air, intoxicating.

Ye Chen felt a surge of joy in his heart. It was to the sound of this beautiful music that he captured the three women last time.

Although the three beautiful sounds were no longer there at this moment, the music still aroused his expectations.

"Cheng'en, go to Chunxue Palace!"

"promise!"

The emperor's procession immediately turned and headed towards Chunxue Palace.

"If we can catch Qin Man and Hua Rui again this time, we can sleep together again."

Ye Chen was a little excited. They slept together for the first time, but it was only enough for him to savor it briefly.
