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

In Taiqian Palace.

Ye Chen waved his hand, and teams of soldiers strode into the hall.

These soldiers were all armed with sharp weapons. Although they were from the imperial guards, they all had firm eyes and walked in unison, exuding a murderous aura.

All the officials looked at these soldiers with fear in their hearts.

Some timid officials even had trembling legs and pale faces.

"I thank you, Your Majesty!"

These soldiers knelt on one knee and clasped their fists towards Ye Chen.

These people were on the list that Ye Chen asked Cheng'en to read out. They were the generals he wanted to promote.

At this time, Ye Chen was already showing off his military power.

Shock all the nobles in the court!

"There's nothing else to do. Let's all leave."

Ye Chen waved his hand and said.

All the officials bowed to the ground and shouted in unison: "We, the officials, take our leave."

After all the officials have left.

Behind Ye Chen, the bead curtain moved slightly, and Su Mengjiao, dressed in a black robe, walked out slowly.

The golden phoenix embroidered on the black robe was lifelike, shining, and elegant.

Su Mengjiao exudes a noble and domineering aura, her eyes are deep and firm, her long black hair is tied up, and a few strands of hair fall on her cheeks, adding a bit of charm and extraordinary beauty.

Ye Chen looked at Su Mengjiao and was slightly stunned.

Su Mengjiao frowned slightly as she looked at Ye Chen and said, "Your Majesty, there's no need to be so anxious. I've asked the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate a date. Three days from now will be an auspicious day. Then, I will return power to you."

"It would be more appropriate for you to clean up the court then."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen raised his lips slightly and said, "Queen Dowager, some things just need to be done urgently, especially at this juncture when the Queen Dowager wants to return power to me. I must show an attitude that shows that I can control the court. Only then can I deter those nobles who want to cause trouble. Only then can I take over the power safely."

Hearing this, a gleam of brilliance flashed in Su Mengjiao's eyes, and she completely understood Ye Chen's sudden move to assert his authority. Without saying anything else, she turned around and left.

Watching Su Mengjiao's departing back, Ye Chen also walked out of the Taiqian Palace, sat on the emperor's ceremonial guard, and headed to the Yangxin Palace.

Only three days left.

Three days later, he officially took power

By then, Ye Chen will be able to fully display his skills.

Realize your grand ambitions.

But he also knew that these three days were crucial and he couldn't slack off in the slightest.

We must not capsize in the ditch.

After all, there were undercurrents in the court.

At this time, Ye Chen had completely stood in opposition to those nobles and powerful officials.

He is not afraid of these people using obvious tactics, but if they use some conspiracy, it will be hard to defend against.

Therefore, the closer he is to victory, the more he cannot relax and cannot leave any mistakes that would give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage!

"Cheng'en, go tell the Queen Mother that I will be leaving the palace soon."

After Ye Chen returned to the Yangxin Palace, he gave the order.

He wanted to go out of the palace to see if these nobles would take any action.

As for government affairs, we can look into them after returning to the palace.

"promise."

After changing into casual clothes, Ye Chen went outside the palace and waited for a while, then he saw Shen Qiu coming with a carriage.

At this time, Shen Qiu had changed into moon-white men's clothing, which wrapped around her curvy figure, highlighting her cool temperament and making her look extremely graceful.

"Qiu'er, follow me out of the palace."

Ye Chen smiled and said.

"promise!"

Shen Qiu followed Ye Chen into the carriage and headed out of the palace.

And when the carriage Ye Chen was riding in left the palace.

On the street where he was, a spacious carriage was slowly approaching.

On the carriage, Zhang Caiwei, dressed in green and wearing a silver hairpin, was holding a newspaper in her hand, flipping through it over and over again, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Yu'er, do you think this could be fake?"

Zhang Caiwei asked softly, her voice clear and pleasant.

Yu'er, her maid, quickly responded, "Miss, it's said that several thousand Tatar heads are now lying outside Wuguan Pass. Do you want us to send someone over to count them?"

Hearing this, Zhang Caiwei was silent for a moment, then sighed softly: "Yu'er, what do you think of this emperor? What kind of person is he?"

Hearing this, Yu'er thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "I don't know, but Miss, there's news from the master that something seems to have happened to the Dong family. I need you to be careful and don't stay in the capital all the time. Go back as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Zhang Caiwei pursed her lips and said, "I won't do that. You're going to arrange a marriage for me when you go back."

As a descendant of a prominent family, Zhang Caiwei could not decide her own marriage, but she did not want to marry someone she did not know or had never even met.

Although she knew that her resistance would not last long

But it’s better to delay it for one day.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Zhang Caiwei asked doubtfully.

"Miss, there is a carriage blocking the road ahead."

Zhang Caiwei frowned slightly and said, "Tell the driver to pull over to the side of the road and let the other party pass first."

"Miss, that carriage doesn't look like it belongs to a wealthy person."

"Do as I say."

Zhang Caiwei shook her head. In the capital, maybe some high-ranking officials don't like extravagance and waste.

Be cautious, keep a low profile, and make money secretly.

This is the principle that Zhang Caiwei abides by in the capital.

This is why she has been able to remain safe and sound for so many years.

And in another carriage.

Shen Qiu opened the curtains, took a look outside, and then replied, "Your Majesty, please move the carriage in front."

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded, and he took a few more glances at the spacious carriage.

The main reason was that he hadn't seen many decent carriages on the streets recently.

It was obvious that after being disciplined by him several times, these nobles had restrained their own children.

Ye Chen quickly lowered the curtains and turned his attention to Shen Qiu, with a slight smile on his face.

The men's clothing Shen Qiu wore today highlighted her cool temperament.

Her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were like autumn water, and her long black hair was tied behind her head, making her look even more heroic.

"Qiu'er, I remember you promised me that you would serve me as long as I could make the Tatars withdraw their troops."

Ye Chen said in a steady voice.

Hearing this, Shen Qiu frowned slightly, and a blush appeared on her pretty face.

A trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and her heart suddenly began to beat like a deer.

She had never thought that the emperor would bring up this matter at this time, and she was extremely confused for a moment.

"Your Majesty, this, this is just a joke."

Shen Qiu was a little flustered and lost his usual composure.

Seeing this, Ye Chen suddenly held Shen Qiu's hand.

Shen Qiu screamed, pulled his hand back suddenly as if he had been electrocuted, and moved away, putting some distance between himself and Ye Chen.

At this moment, her eyes were full of fear and shyness, like a frightened deer.

"Shen Qiu, deceiving the emperor is a serious crime, so enter my harem."

Ye Chen looked at Shen Qiu shyly, his heart full of anticipation, and he also wanted to tease her.

His voice was firm and powerful, with an irresistible majesty.

Hearing this, Shen Qiu's body trembled, and the pink on her face quickly spread to the base of her neck.
