Although Ye Chen's tone was calm, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

Wang Baobao is obviously at the Lion Gate.

Ye Chen did not agree, but he did not say anything final.

In order to force the Tatars to withdraw, the Eastern Qiang must send troops.

Ye Chen needs to appease the Dayuan envoy, but he will never agree to such harsh conditions.

"Your Majesty, the request made by the Dayuan envoy is too excessive."

Shen Qiu stood up and clasped his fists.

Ye Chen nodded slightly, looked at Shen Qiu, and said in a deep voice: "Qiu'er, I will not agree to Wang Baobao's unreasonable request, but I still have to stabilize him first."

Hearing this, Shen Qiu felt relieved.

"The most urgent task is to deal with Edward Yang first. He is the biggest threat to us."

A sharp look flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.

As long as the troops of Yanzhou and Bingzhou retreated, he would first get rid of that old man Yang Dechang.

Find another chance to kill this guy!

"Okay, Qiu'er, please leave. I'm leaving too."

Ye Chen stood up and was about to leave Taiqian Palace.

At this time, Cheng'en bent his body, suddenly walked forward in small steps, holding a letter in both hands.

"Your Majesty, here is a letter from outside the capital."

Cheng'en lowered his head slightly and said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen frowned slightly. When he heard that the letter came from outside the capital, he immediately thought that it was sent by Murong Yan.

Now is not the time for him to communicate with Murong Yan. Murong Yan suddenly sent him a message at this time, which must mean that something big has happened.

His eyes flashed, and he said, "Thank you for your kindness. Present the letter to me!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng'en hurriedly handed over the letter with both hands.

Ye Chen took the letter, opened it, and looked at the contents. His brows furrowed immediately. He looked at Shen Qiu sharply and said in a deep voice, "Qiu'er, send someone to deliver this letter to the Queen Mother."

"promise."

Shen Qiu stepped forward, took the letter and stepped back.

When Shen Qiu returns

Ye Chen stood in front of the dragon throne with his hands behind his back, his face as dark as a chasm, and the imperial aura around him was as terrifying as a mountain pressing down on one's head.

"Qiu'er, quickly send someone to Fuyao's village to bring her back. Be careful. The carriage needs to be warm enough. If Fuyao is too ill to travel, don't force her."

Hearing this, Shen Qiu raised his eyes slightly with a complicated look.

She then bowed her head respectfully and replied softly, "Yes."

At this moment, she felt a little resistant to His Majesty's care for Yun Fuyao, but she did not show any dissatisfaction.

"Cheng'en, prepare the ceremonial procession. I'm going to Kunning Palace!"

"Yes!"

Outside the Taiqian Palace, the emperor's ceremonial guards were ready.

Ye Chen walked like a dragon and a tiger, boarded the ceremonial procession, and prepared to go to Kunning Palace.

Shen Qiu stood beside him, his cool temperament emanating like frost and snow, and his peerless and graceful figure was extremely eye-catching.

But Ye Chen's attention was not on her at this time.

As they walked, Shen Qiu noticed that Ye Chen's face looked unhappy.

Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, what exactly is written in the letter?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen asked in a cold tone, "Qiu'er, do you still remember those Jingzhou merchants who entered the capital area with suspicious whereabouts?"

Shen Qiu nodded slightly, and a cold voice sounded: "I remember."

Ye Chen snorted coldly, clenched his fists tightly, and said in a deep voice: "These merchants are not really here to collect paper, they are here to gather intelligence, they are scouts!"

"There have been large-scale military movements in Jingzhou."

"These local nobles, each and every one of them has long harbored rebellious intentions!"

Suppressed anger was faintly dancing between the lines of every word Ye Chen said. Shen Qiu could clearly feel that Ye Chen's anger was like a volcano, which could erupt at any time.

Shen Qiu also understood this.

Just when we had gotten rid of the troops from Yanzhou and Bingzhou, the troops from Jingzhou came to cause trouble again.

Do they really think that the Gyeonggi region is their back garden?

These aristocratic families really have their own private soldiers and don’t take Emperor Ye Chen seriously at all!

"Thankfully, I asked Murong Yan to help me set up an intelligence organization. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to detect these Jingzhou troops until they entered the capital area."

Ye Chen felt relieved after being angry.

It’s also because of early detection.

Now is the time to think of a solution.

Otherwise, we will have to go to war again!

And Ye Chen will never allow the situation where the private soldiers of the powerful families directly enter the capital to happen again.

He was thinking about how to stop the invasion of Jingzhou's army, and after sorting out some ideas, he came to Kunning Palace.

As I stepped into the palace garden, Su Mengjiao's figure came into view.

She was dressed in black brocade, the brocade was luxurious and smooth, and on the brocade, a phoenix embroidered with gold thread was lifelike, as if it was ready to spread its wings and fly away at any time.

This kind of dress is in perfect harmony with her personality, showing her noble and domineering temperament.

Su Mengjiao has a graceful and exquisite figure, and her excellent figure looks even more graceful against the backdrop of brocade clothes.

Her black hair was like a waterfall, loosely tied up, and her beautiful face was like a fairy descending to earth, with unparalleled grace and elegance.

She just sat there quietly, exuding a majesty, nobility, and stunningness that made people dare not look directly at her.

On the table in front of her was the letter that Ye Chen had someone send her.

Ye Chen strode up to Su Mengjiao and sat down carelessly.

He never observes etiquette when he comes to Kunning Palace.

"Queen Dowager, what are your thoughts on the unusual movements of the Jingzhou army?"

Ye Chen asked first.

Hearing this, Su Mengjiao narrowed her eyes slightly, opened her red lips, and said, "Your Majesty, I think we should quickly find out his intentions and make countermeasures in advance."

Su Mengjiao's voice was calm, yet it carried the composure and domineering aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

After hearing Su Mengjiao's words, Ye Chen smiled slightly, then shook his head gently and said, "Queen Dowager, it's too late to find out the intentions of the Jingzhou army now.

The Yanzhou army immediately rushed into the capital area after gathering. Since the Jingzhou army has made unusual movements and there is a time lag in the transmission of information, they may have already prepared and are about to enter the capital area."

Hearing this, Su Mengjiao frowned slightly, her expression solemn, and said, "Then, Emperor, what should we do now?"

Ye Chen's eyes were firm, and he said in a deep voice: "We can't let them in, we must send people to seal Wuguan immediately.

Queen Mother, immediately issue an imperial edict to General Di Gui, ordering him to immediately send cavalry to Wuguan to take over the defense and control the generals guarding the pass. Never let the Yanzhou army enter Hulao Pass again.

As long as Wuguan Pass is safe, the Jingzhou army will not be able to enter the capital unless they can pass through Yanzhou and enter from Hulao Pass, which is controlled by the Yanzhou army! "

Of course it would be best if Hulao Pass could be sealed.

However, the Yanzhou army has not retreated yet.

Ye Chen can only think about it

After hearing Ye Chen's words, Su Mengjiao nodded slightly and said, "Emperor, it's as you say."

"And Queen Mother, I will also be leaving the palace tomorrow."

"Emperor, you just returned to the palace, why are you going out again?"

Su Mengjiao bit her lip. Ye Chen had been outside for more than ten days and had not returned. Now he was leaving the palace again, as if he was being released into the wild.

This made her somewhat unbalanced.

After all, she has always wanted to go out of the palace but has never had the chance.

"Queen Mother, I have important matters to attend to."

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and said.

Now, he wants to leave the palace, and Su Mengjiao can't stop him.

But after all, he was on the same front with Su Mengjiao, so he began to explain.
