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

early morning.

The sound of bells echoed in the palace.

Ye Chen slowly woke up from his sleep, reached out to touch his side, but found nothing.

He was slightly stunned, a trace of doubt arose in his heart, and then he sat up.

"Cheng'en! What time is it now? Has the morning court been held? Where is Fuyao?"

Ye Chen's voice was steady and powerful, with an innate majesty.

Cheng'en, who was guarding outside, quickly and cautiously replied, "Your Majesty, the court has already started. Concubine Yun was in a side hall handling newspaper printing matters. Seeing that Your Majesty was sleeping soundly, she did not disturb him."

Hearing this, Ye Chen's mouth corners slightly raised.

Yun Fuyao is not only his concubine, but also his counselor.

It was naturally impossible to stay in bed with him all the time.

"Cheng'en, send someone to Kunning Palace to tell the Queen Mother that I am preparing to leave the palace to deal with those Bingzhou soldiers. I am ready to take control of the situation at any time."

Ye Chen said in a firm tone.

After all, the Bingzhou soldiers had been lurking in the capital for many days, and many nobles were in cahoots with them.

Therefore, Ye Chen had to deal with these people personally to prevent any mistakes.

"promise!"

Cheng'en immediately went to pass on the message and asked the palace maids to bring the clothes that had been prepared long ago.

Soon, Ye Chen put on the rich businessman's clothes.

He had an upright posture and steady steps. Although he was wearing casual clothes, his powerful imperial aura was not diminished at all, which made people feel awe involuntarily.

At this time, Yun Fuyao, who learned the news, also walked out from the side hall.

At this time, she was wearing a light yellow brocade dress, exuding a scholarly temperament, and her every move revealed her intellectual beauty.

Her eyes were filled with worry for Ye Chen. She frowned slightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, you must be careful on this trip."

Her voice is like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, so sweet and melodious that it makes people intoxicated.

Ye Chen nodded slightly, looking at Yun Fuyao with gentle eyes and a soft tone: "Don't worry, I will be careful. If you encounter any problems in handling government affairs in the palace, you must send someone to inform me in time. Also, have you found a suitable helper now?"

"Your Majesty, we have found five people."

"Well, when I come back, give me everything you have in hand."

Ye Chen also didn't want Yun Fuyao to be too tired.

And all the instructions are completed.

Ye Chen turned around and left, heading out of the palace.

Not long after, Ye Chen saw Shen Qiu coming with a carriage.

At this time, Shen Qiu was wearing red men's clothing, which set off her graceful figure. Her temperament was cold and detached, like an iceberg, with unparalleled beauty.

"His Majesty!"

Shen Qiu clasped his fists towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen nodded, got on the carriage, and said to Shen Qiu: "Let's go."

"promise!"

Shen Qiu followed Ye Chen into the carriage.

The carriage moved slowly forward and headed out of the palace.

After leaving the palace.

Ye Chen lifted the curtain and looked at the scene outside the carriage.

People were busy walking through the streets as usual.

Ye Chen and Yang Dechang were fighting fiercely, but the people seemed to be much better off than before, and the market became more lively.

After all, the emergence of cheap flour and paper boosted private trade.

Because making and transporting flour and paper both require manpower, and manpower means money, and when people have money, they will spend it, and the market will naturally prosper. This is a positive cycle.

Ye Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly and lowered the curtains.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the Supervisory Office.

Ye Chen got off the carriage and strode into the yamen.

Lu Niudan led all the yamen runners from the Supervisory Office to kneel down in the yamen.

"Everyone, get up and keep quiet. Except for Lu Niu Dan, everyone else should wait for my order."

Ye Chen waved his hand.

Lu Niudan and others stood up, and Lu Niudan followed Ye Chen carefully, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

Ye Chen quickly walked into a windowless secret room, sat down on the main seat, looked at Lu Niu Dan, and asked, "What's the situation?"

Lu Niu Dan quickly replied, "Your Majesty, Bai Fen has been hanged at Caishikou, and those Bingzhou soldiers have not yet made any moves."

Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, "Well, continue to keep an eye on the nobles' mansions in the city."

"promise!"

Lu Niudan immediately retreated to pass on the order.

And Caishikou.

Bai Fen was hung high up and had been beaten with eighty sticks. His body was covered in blood and was a horrible sight.

His hair was scattered messily on his face, making it difficult to see his expression.

Among the crowd, some people threw mud and spat at him, but as long as they didn't get close, the soldiers guarding nearby did not stop them and allowed the people to vent their dissatisfaction.

Bai Fen lowered his head and said nothing.

His body was trembling slightly, and he was enduring great pain.

But his eyes were gloomy, revealing an unyielding stubbornness.

Suddenly, there was a commotion around.

Bai Fen seemed to hear the sound of someone drawing a knife. He took a deep breath and roared.

"Don't come over here! It's a trap!"

After roaring three times, the commotion around him subsided and Bai Fen stopped.

And what Bai Fen shouted quickly reached Ye Chen's ears.

Ye Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

But I feel more and more that Bai Fen is a talented person.
