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

When the specific information of the commander of Hulao Pass was presented to him, Ye Chen read it carefully and realized that he was Yang Dechang's distant nephew.

Everything became clear in an instant; it was indeed Yang Dechang who was behind this.

Ye Chen was burning with anger and wanted to kill the old man immediately.

He also understood that now that the troops of the Chen family in Yanzhou had been mobilized, the situation had become extremely difficult.

He quickly calmed down and knew that he had to deal with it calmly.

His eyes revealed determination and wisdom as he began to carefully analyze the current situation, thinking about how to properly handle this crisis to ensure the safety of the capital and the stability of the country.

He also quickly determined that he had to go to Taiqian Palace!

"Your Majesty, Madam Xue is here."

Cheng'en suddenly came up and said.

"Well, let Mrs. Xue come in."

Madam Xue walked in quickly. Today, she was wearing a white brocade dress that was as light as a cloud, highlighting her charming and noble temperament.

She has a beautiful face, eyes like autumn water, an elegant and calm demeanor, and when she raises her eyes slightly, she reveals an intoxicating charm.

When Ye Chen saw Madam Xue like this, he felt a little regretful.

He had important things to do today and couldn't listen to the music.

So, he could only say helplessly: "Madam Xue, I have something urgent to attend to today, so I don't have time to listen to music. You can wait here for a while and come back after I finish my business."

Upon hearing this, Madam Xue bowed slightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, please go and do your work. I will wait here."

There was a barely perceptible hint of loss in her eyes.

Ye Chen turned around and ordered the eunuch Cheng En: "Cheng En, quickly prepare the emperor's ceremonial guards, I want to go to the Taiqian Palace!"

Cheng En quickly responded, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will make the arrangements right away."

Ye Chen walked out of the Yangxin Palace quickly, and soon sat on the emperor's ceremonial procession and headed towards the Taiqian Palace.

Madam Xue came to the outside of the Yangxin Palace and looked at his departing back, feeling an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.

Although she didn't know what had happened, she could sense the seriousness of the matter from Ye Chen's expression.

She frowned slightly, her eyes full of worry, but she could only pray silently in her heart that everything would go well for Ye Chen.

The Taiqian Hall stands majestically, and its vermilion pillars are thick and tall, as if they can support the entire sky.

The golden glazed tiles shine brightly under the sunlight, and from a distance, it looks like a magnificent palace fortress.

The hall is spacious and majestic, and the tall dome seems to be able to accommodate the entire heaven and earth.

Civil and military officials dressed in court robes stood on both sides.

The civil officials were elegant and dignified, holding tablets in their hands and with serious expressions.

The military officers were majestic, wearing armor and looking very imposing.

The Empress Dowager Su Mengjiao, who was ruling the country from behind the curtain, sat upright behind the pearl curtain with a dignified demeanor and a solemn expression.

She tilted her head slightly and listened to the officials' discussions.

At this time, officials were discussing matters, and the topics revolved around people's livelihood and military affairs.

Su Mengjiao listened very carefully, and she was quite adept at handling these matters.

Sudden.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Ye Chen walked into the Taiqian Palace with steady steps, and his majestic figure instantly attracted everyone's attention.

As he stepped in, the noisy discussions came to an abrupt end.

All the civil and military officials prostrated themselves on the ground, and shouts of "Long live the emperor" echoed in the spacious and majestic Taiqian Hall.

Their movements were in unison and filled with awe.

The civil officials bowed their heads slightly, holding their tablets close to their bodies, showing their respect.

The military officers knelt on one knee, and the sound of armor colliding was crisp and powerful.

Ye Chen sat on the dragon throne, glancing at the ministers, his eyes revealing determination and majesty, and his aura was breathtaking.

He raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to stand up.

"All the nobles, please stand up!"

The eunuch shouted immediately.

"I came here today to tell you something important!"

Ye Chen looked at the bead curtain behind him. Su Mengjiao was also very confused about why Ye Chen suddenly came, but at this time, she didn't say much.

At this moment, the entire Taiqian Palace seemed to be shrouded in Ye Chen's imperial aura, and a solemn and dignified atmosphere quickly spread.

Ye Chen stared at Prime Minister Yang Dechang with a sharp gaze.

His voice was steady and powerful as he spoke slowly, "Prime Minister, I want to ask you why Hulao Pass allowed the Yanzhou Governor and his private soldiers to come through?"

When these words were spoken, all officials were in an uproar.

Yang Dechang's face was calm and expressionless, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

He raised his eyes slightly, his gaze was deep and unfathomable, showing his scheming.

He took a leisurely step forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, the Yanzhou Governor is here to suppress the banditry in the capital. I had no choice but to have him lead his troops here."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Yang Dechang's tone was calm, without any panic.

Ye Chen snorted coldly. It was obvious that Yang Dechang was about to reveal his true intentions.

Then he won't be polite anymore!
