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

The carriage returned to the palace.

Shen Qiu walked up to Ye Chen and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy from Dayuan released a carrier pigeon after returning to the hotel. News should be coming soon."

Ye Chen nodded, still in a good mood.

He was still very confident that Dayuan would agree to his conditions.

He knew that Dayuan needed his support, and he also needed Dayuan to refrain from military action.

The two complement each other.

Cooperation is beneficial to both parties.

"Your Majesty, there have been frequent vegetable carts entering and leaving Yang Dechang's Prime Minister's Mansion recently. This is information discovered by the Supervisory Department."

Shen Qiu said again.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen immediately narrowed his eyes.

"Have Lu Niu Dan keep a close eye on these carriages!"

Ye Chen knew that Yang Dechang was a shrewd and scheming man, and he must have a backup plan.

It is very likely that the spies in the capital that were previously eliminated were not completely wiped out.

After Shen Qiu gave the order, Ye Chen closed his eyes and rested.

Now all he had to do was wait, wait for the Jingzhou army to take action, and wait for a reply from the King of Dayuan.

The carriage quickly entered the palace.

Shen Qiu jumped off the carriage lightly with graceful and smooth movements.

She stood beside the carriage, clasped her fists and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty, I will first report to the Queen Mother that Your Majesty has returned to the palace."

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly.

"Go."

After parting with Shen Qiu.

The carriage took Ye Chen to the Yangxin Palace.

Cheng'en and a group of palace maids greeted them at the palace gate.

After Ye Chen entered the Yangxin Palace, Cheng'en took the initiative to ask the palace maids to bring the dragon robe and the emperor's crown.

As soon as Ye Chen was dressed and sat on the dragon throne, Cheng'en brought some memorials.

Although Yun Fuyao is back, there are still many things that Ye Chen needs to deal with every day.

He immediately plunged into the busy government affairs.

Carefully reviewing every memorial.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

When Ye Chen was reviewing the memorial, Cheng En suddenly came forward and said,

"What's the matter?"

Ye Chen's voice was concise and powerful.

Cheng'en presented a letter with both hands.

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

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was slightly stunned, and immediately realized that this was sent by Murong Yan. He immediately took the letter and read it carefully.

"The troops of Jingzhou have been on the move, but they haven't entered the capital. Many spies have come in, but are they also asking for paper and flour?"

Ye Chen frowned slightly. He sent spies here not to inquire about the Di Gui army and the terrain of the capital, but to ask around how paper was made and where flour came from.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like they are here to fight?

Could it be that this old fox Yang Dechang has never thought of using the soldiers of Jingzhou to fight?

"Could it be that Yang Dechang is just trying to make me cautious?"

"However, there's no guarantee that this guy won't suddenly attack against common sense."

"Who knows, this may just be a trick to confuse the enemy."

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and began to think.

He had no idea what the Jingzhou army was like.

Moreover, he had received news that the Yanzhou army did not join the war last time, but the Bingzhou cavalry and Hedong infantry had already caused heavy losses to the Digui army.

If the Jingzhou army really attacks and the Digui army is defeated, the impact will definitely be extremely bad.

Ye Chen finally felt that he had to respond with caution.

"Cheng'en, send someone to tell Murong Yan to continue monitoring the movements of the Jingzhou army. Then send someone to the Digui army to tell them not to slack off and to be prepared for a tough battle at any time."

Ye Chen said so.

"promise!"

Cheng'en turned around and left quickly.

Ye Chen continued to handle government affairs.

But just as he finished reading the memorial, Cheng'en suddenly returned to him.

"Your Majesty, Guard Shen has sent word that all those arrested today have died in prison. The coroner has examined their bodies and determined they died of poisoning."

"Humph!"

Ye Chen snorted coldly.

He originally thought that these Confucian scholars were just instigated by others, but now it seems that these guys are still stubborn warriors.

It was obvious that these guys had taken poison before causing trouble.

"Let them die. It's not a pity to die. Oh, and if anyone asks, just say that these people wanted to rebel and kill the king, and then they committed suicide out of fear of punishment!"

"Drag the bodies of these people out and find a place to bury them far away from the capital."

"Also, find out the identities of these people. Even if they are dead, I want to know who they met before they died!"

Ye Chen waved his hand and said.

"promise."

Cheng'en retreated.

At this time, in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yang Dechang was holding his beloved concubine, listening to opera and drinking to relieve his boredom.

Soon, the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion came to Yang Dechang and presented him with a bamboo slip.

Yang Dechang looked at the contents of the bamboo slips and frowned slightly.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, and his face darkened slightly.

But soon, his face returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

"Marquis Xinyong and Marquis Chengwu are really impatient. They even want the emperor to investigate them, and then I have to speak up to protect them. It's a joke."

Yang Dechang's tone was somewhat dissatisfied, but he did not show any anger.

He knew that anger would not solve the problem, but would only make things worse.

He needs to stay calm to make the right decisions.

"Inform all the nobles and powerful people in the city to calm down and stop doing these stupid things. These methods are useless against the little emperor."

"If someone has already taken action, they will be responsible for any consequences!"

Yang Dechang said in a strong and powerful tone.

He now needs to stay stable and find an opportunity to turn the situation around before he will do anything.

He was too lazy to take action when he couldn't even turn the situation around.

The butler immediately retreated.

Yang Dechang continued to hold his concubine in his arms, listening to opera and drinking.
