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

Seeing Di Gui being supported out of the camp in a weak state, Ye Chen quickly stepped forward and said in a gentle voice, "Lord Di, there is no need to be like this."

His expression was full of concern, and he immediately signaled the soldiers to carry Di Gui back to his tent.

Di Gui's face was full of guilt. With the help of the soldiers, he tried to salute with difficulty, but was stopped by Ye Chen.

When Ye Chen entered the general's tent, Di Gui, who was lying on the sickbed, said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, after receiving the imperial edict, I sent a thousand cavalrymen straight to Wuguan. They should be able to reach Wuguan today."

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Ye Chen sat upright in the commander's tent, waiting for military reports and news from the intelligence organization in the capital.

At this moment, his expression was stern. Although he remained calm, he had an imperial aura that captivated people.

Those deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, making people dare not look directly at them.

He sat there quietly, like a towering mountain, steady and unshakable.

So much so that all the soldiers who came to deliver the message were so shocked by the momentum that they had to be extremely alert, fearing that they would say a wrong word.

And soon, Ye Chen got the news.

When the thousand cavalrymen arrived at Wuguan, the commander of Wuguan was about to open the city gate to welcome the soldiers from Jingzhou. Fortunately, the cavalry general controlled them after reading the imperial edict.

Shen Qiu frowned slightly, and her cold temperament became even more charming.

She looked at Ye Chen, clasped her fists and asked softly, "Your Majesty, what should we do with that guard?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes became stern, and the emperor's murderous aura instantly spread out.

His voice was as cold as iron: "Have someone send the guard here. As for the guard's henchmen, kill them all."

"Yes."

Shen Qiu went down to pass on the order and then returned. Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said coldly: "Qiu'er, pass the order down. Send all the bodies of the Bingzhou and Yanzhou soldiers to Wuguan and pile them up into a Jingguan."

Shen Qiu was slightly stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed across his cold face.

But she reacted quickly, nodded slightly, and prepared to go down again to pass on the order.

Ye Chen has his own plans in mind

He knew very well that those local nobles were ready to make a move, so he wanted to use this shocking method to intimidate them.

We must make these powerful families understand that the consequences of rashly entering the capital will be extremely tragic.

He was declaring to all the powerful families in the world that his authority was unquestionable!

Shen Qiu went down to deliver the message and returned quickly, while Ye Chen continued to observe the intelligence sent from various places.

Shen Qiu stood silently aside, her cool temperament like a snow lotus on an iceberg, quiet and beautiful.

Read each piece of information carefully.

Suddenly, Ye Chen's eyes were fixed on the contents of a piece of intelligence, and a sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.

He discovered that the merchants had disappeared after being discovered, but now some strange refugees appeared in some places in the capital.

There were not many of these people. After entering the village, they just wanted to be sheltered and kept asking about things related to paper.

"Qiu'er, take the imperial guards immediately and arrest these people. Torture them severely! Find out who sent them!"

Ye Chen gave the order decisively, his voice full of coldness and determination.

He knew very well that the appearance of these strange refugees was no accident.

He must find out their background as soon as possible.

"promise!"

Shen Qiu clasped his fists and left.

Soon, the results of the interrogation were passed to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's face suddenly darkened when he saw the interrogation results sent by the Imperial Guards.

"Humph, that Jingzhou governor is so bold! He actually wants to get his hands on the paper."

"And did the Jingzhou governor receive a secret order from the capital last night?"

Ye Chen almost immediately guessed that the secret order must have come from Yang Dechang.

He pondered for a moment and said coldly, "Continue to investigate and make sure to find out the specific content of the secret order. If you really can't figure it out, kill him and throw him out of Wuguan.

Also, strengthen patrols and control around Gyeonggi Province. If you encounter any suspicious individuals, immediately arrest them and interrogate them!"

"Yes!"

Shen Qiu took the order and left.

Ye Chen frowned slightly. Yang Dechang contacted Jingzhou Governor Cai Tian at this time, which must mean that he had important instructions.

But what exactly happened?

What's the conspiracy here?

Ye Chen is really hard to guess.

However, he soon remembered the matter of the Dayuan envoy.

It seems that if he doesn't do anything to Yang Dechang in the short term, he will really have to have a good talk with the Dayuan envoy.

However, the conditions proposed by the Kingdom of Dayuan were too harsh.

There was no way Ye Chen would agree to that.

"Qiu'er, prepare the carriage. I want to go find Murong Yan. I have something to ask her."

After thinking for a moment, Ye Chen suddenly said to Shen Qiu who had returned.

"promise!"
