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

In the Yangxin Palace.

Ye Chen held the letter and fell into deep thought.

"Yanzhou, Bingzhou, Hedong, and Jingzhou."

Ye Chen silently thought about the place where he might have received Yang Dechang's letter.

He knew the military situation around the capital very well.

The armies of Yanzhou, Bingzhou and Hedong had come to the capital before, but were repelled. From the current perspective, the army of Jingzhou is just a mob and is not to be feared at all.

"So where exactly is Yang Dechang planning to mobilize his troops this time? Could he possibly have a way to reorganize the Three Provinces Coalition Army that was just forced to retreat?"

Ye Chen felt that the possibility was not great. After all, judging from the fact that the armies had retreated on their own initiative instead of fighting to the death, the governors of those states did not completely obey Yang Dechang's command.

Be puzzled.

Ye Chen decided to take time to walk around outside the palace more often to see if he could figure out the conspiracy behind Yang Dechang.

Previously, he had to deal with many affairs because he was not yet familiar with the government operation system. Now he has found that the team left by Yun Fuyao is very capable. He only needs to hand over the government affairs to them and check them after he returns to the palace.

So, he had some extra free time.

At the same time, he also had to go to the army outside the city to let Di Gui prepare to welcome the possible arrival of the enemy.

You can wait for a while before taking the initiative to attack the Jingzhou army.

At least wait until the Tatars in the north withdraw completely.

After Ye Chen had gained enough reputation and replaced the blood in the court.

By then, even if Yang Dechang could find reinforcements from outside, he would not be afraid.

That's all it took a few days.

Ye Chen can still wait.

He then turned to look at Cheng'en, his voice low and majestic.

"Cheng'en, go to Kunning Palace and tell the Queen Mother that I will be leaving the palace more often in the next few days to wander around the capital and beyond."

"promise."

Cheng'en received the order and hurriedly retreated.

When he returned, Ye Chen instructed him again: "Go and call Madam Xue. I want to listen to some music. Let Xiang Fei come over tonight and let her sleep with me."

Cheng'en took the order and left again.

Although he didn't know what cards Yang Dechang had, Ye Chen was still very confident and assured at this time.

He wants to deal with serious matters, but also enjoy himself.

The next morning, the sound of bells echoed in the palace.

Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes and keenly noticed a delicate body beside him. The soft touch made him slightly startled.

He subconsciously lowered his head and his eyes fell on Direza's face.

Direza's face looks like it was carved by the most skilled craftsman. Every line is just right, and the delicate facial features combined together exude an irresistible charm.

Ye Chen looked at her quietly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes full of admiration.

He did not wake her up directly, but saw Direza's eyebrows move slightly, as if something disturbed her sweet dream. The tip of her small nose wrinkled slightly, and her long eyelashes began to tremble slightly.

Slowly, she opened her eyes, and her green eyes were like a bottomless lake, clear and charming.

Her pretty face was a little red because she had just woken up, just like the clouds in the sky, adding a bit of shyness to her beauty.

Direza saw Ye Chen looking at her, without the slightest shyness, but instead raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a wild smile.

Suddenly, as if driven by an impulse, she raised her head abruptly, put her arms around Ye Chen's neck, and kissed him actively.

Like a female leopard.

Ye Chen was stunned at first.

The women of the Western Regions are indeed different from the women of Dayu.

Such boldness and passion.

After a while of lingering, Ye Chen remembered that he still had important things to do.

He gently pushed Direza away and called the palace maid to help him put on the dragon robe and the emperor's crown.

The maids dressed him with great care, each movement filled with reverence.

During this process, Direza watched quietly from the side, with a hint of reluctance and some displeasure at being ignored in her eyes.

But Ye Chen's strength made her even more intoxicated and fascinated.

After Ye Chen tidied his clothes, he turned to Direza and said, "I have to leave the palace today, you go back and rest."

When Direza heard this, she frowned slightly. She didn't want to be separated from Ye Chen like this.

But Ye Chen's aura was majestic, and she was feeling a little unwell. After weighing the pros and cons, she bit her lip and agreed.

After Direza left, Ye Chen had someone change him into plain clothes.

The fewer people who knew about his leaving the palace, the better. Direzabi had just entered the palace and was a foreigner.

He would never let Direza know where he was going.

After he changed his clothes, he walked out of the Yangxin Palace with steady steps.

He stood outside the palace gate and waited for a while.

Shen Qiu came slowly, pulling the carriage.

Today, Shen Qiu was wearing a blue men's suit that was tailored to fit her perfectly, outlining her tall and slender figure.

She had a light figure, steady and agile steps, and exuded a cool temperament, as if the air around her was a little colder than elsewhere.

Her face was like a carefully carved jade, fair and delicate, without a single flaw, and extremely beautiful.

When Ye Chen saw Shen Qiu, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said gently: "Qiu'er, follow me."

Although his voice was not loud, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

When Shen Qiu heard Ye Chen's words, he lowered his head respectfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Then, Shen Qiu followed Ye Chen and got on the carriage.

The carriage started slowly and headed out of the capital.

At this time, in the Bingzhou prefectural government office.

Bingzhou Governor Ding Wen and former Western Regions Frontier Army Commander Kou Yu were kneeling opposite each other.

Kou Yu was the first to clasp his fists towards Ding Wen, his eyes determined as he said, "Brother Ding, I'm leaving for the north today to contact the Tatars. That little emperor won't be able to stay arrogant for much longer. Once I borrow troops from the Tatars, I beg you, Brother Ding, to open the gate and let them pass."

"In the future, the Prime Minister will not treat Brother Ding unfairly."

Hearing this, Ding Wen raised his lips slightly and said, "Brother Kou, as long as you can invite enough Tatar soldiers, I will not only be willing to open the gate, but I will also bring troops to help."

Ding Wen emphasized the word "enough".

He certainly wouldn't fight a battle without confidence.

After experiencing a battle with the Di Gui Army, he had a deep understanding of the Di Gui Army's combat effectiveness.

This time, if the Tatars don't send too many troops, he will naturally not take action.

Kou Yu nodded heavily and said, "Okay, with Brother Ding's words, I feel relieved."

Kou Yu stood up and strode away.

Going to a foreign race to ask for soldiers is risky.

But for Yang Dechang, he did not hesitate.
