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

In front of the Observatory.

The Emperor's Sword in Ye Chen's hand was stained with blood. He glared at the seriously injured Si Zheng, and the imperial aura spread out like a tidal wave.

He didn't inhale smoke.

"How dare you, you guys, try to assassinate me?"

"Anyone who dares to take another step forward will have their entire clan executed without mercy!"

The sound is like thunder.

Ye Chen stood up with a sword in hand, his dragon robe fluttering, his sharp eyes filled with murderous intent.

Upon hearing this, the official showed a look of fear.

The other assassins were also shocked by Ye Chen's aura for a moment, and their faces showed fear.

The emperor personally took up his sword and killed people. These people had never seen such a scene before.

But at this moment.

The Anding Earl Fang Taiqi had a gloomy face and pointed the iron spike at Ye Chen.

"Tyrant ruler, today is the day you die. Don't be afraid, everyone. Kill him and we will usher in a new ruler to succeed him. Then we will all be heroes who follow the dragon!"

Fang Taiqi roared.

"Bullshit! You traitors!"

"Protect the emperor, protect the emperor!"

"The traitor shall not die a good death!"

The civil and military officials appointed by Ye Chen cursed loudly, but these people were all drugged and many of them had difficulty standing up. They could only throw the things in their hands as weapons, but they could not cause any damage.

Fang Taiqi and others also ignored these people. They were now dealing with Ye Chen first.

However, even though Fang Taiqi roared loudly, no one was willing to step forward, including himself.

Until this moment, a cold laugh suddenly rang out from the crowd below the platform.

Ye Chen frowned slightly, and saw Yang Dechang, wearing the official uniform of the Imperial Observatory, standing up.

This guy had been hiding among the officials of the Imperial Observatory and sneaked into the palace.

"Stupid King, what's the point of your bluffing now? Today is the day you die. Don't be afraid, everyone. Now that things have come to this, the stupid king will definitely not let us go. Kill him, and the world will still belong to us, the powerful. If he lives any longer, we are all finished!"

Yang Dechang shouted in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen sneered and said, "If anyone can catch Yang Dechang and ask for forgiveness now, I will not pursue him!"

"lie!"

Yang Dechang had just finished speaking.

Ye Chen suddenly pointed his finger at a guard not far away from him.

"Give me the bow!"

The imperial guard was slightly stunned, and quickly took off the bow and quiver from his body, and then threw them at Ye Chen with all his strength.

Ye Chen grabbed the longbow, drew an arrow and shot it at Yang Dechang.

Yang Dechang was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head. The arrow flew past his scalp, making his back cold and his body covered in sweat.

Ye Chen took the opportunity to grab Su Mengjiao, then looked at Shen Qiu and shouted, "Qiu'er, follow me into the Stargazing Hall!"

"All Imperial Guards present, listen up! Escort all officials into the Stargazing Hall!"

"Those who survive this battle will be handsomely rewarded!"

The next moment, all the imperial guards present, who were staggering when they walked but were in much better condition than the civil officials, clasped their fists towards Ye Chen.

"promise!"

Ye Chen hugged Su Mengjiao tightly with one hand, held Shen Qiu with the other, and rushed towards the Stargazing Hall.

This scene happened too fast.

Ye Chen's actions were extremely decisive.

After failing to hit the target with an arrow, they immediately rushed towards the Observatory. Most of the imperial guards drew their weapons and rushed towards Yang Dechang and others. Some imperial guards and generals helped the civil servants who were poisoned by the incense on the ground and rushed towards the Observatory.

"Don't panic! Kill everyone who's blocking your way!"

Yang Dechang's face darkened slightly as he spoke.

The two sides began to fight.

There were a total of 400 imperial guards present, much more than Yang Dechang and his men. Even though they were all drugged, they were still able to swing their swords and attack thanks to their strong bodies. Even though the combat power they could exert was less than 10% of their usual strength, they still managed to hold Yang Dechang and his men back for a moment by fighting bravely and fearlessly.

As the imperial guards delayed him, Ye Chen raised his sword and chopped down ten people who blocked his way. He then rushed into the Observatory with most of the officials who had been drugged by the incense and some imperial guards.

Then, Ye Chen stepped forward and slammed the door shut.

With a bang, the palace door closed tightly.

When Yang Dechang, with a steel knife in hand and covered in blood, led his men to the gate of the Stargazing Palace, his face was as gloomy as water.

Ye Chen's performance completely exceeded his expectations.

Ye Chen, the fool in the past who had never practiced martial arts, could actually chop people, and do it so skillfully?

"Prime Minister, what should we do now?"

Fang Taiqi looked at the closed palace gate and asked in a panic.

"Go, get some wood! Have our arsonists get the remaining oil! Cut down another tree and ram it against the palace gate!"

Yang Dechang pondered for a moment and said in a low voice.

He wants to attack the palace gate, he wants to set fire, he wants to destroy the entire observatory!

And inside the Stargazing Hall.

Su Mengjiao listened to the sound of banging on the palace gate and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

Ye Chen's eyes were firm, and he said in a steady tone: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, the reinforcements will arrive soon."

Hearing this, the anxiety on Su Mengjiao's face did not fade away.

At this moment, she was really panicked.

Since she became the empress dowager, these powerful officials have never been so cruel.

The calm look on Ye Chen's face also made Su Mengjiao calm down a little.

However, what Su Mengjiao didn’t know was that Ye Chen’s heart was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

"I didn't expect that old beast Yang Dechang had this trick up his sleeve."

Ye Chen felt that he had miscalculated. He really didn't expect that the Imperial Observatory, a humble government office, was actually full of Yang Dechang's people.

He even suspected that the Imperial Observatory might have always been Yang Dechang's hidden trump card.

This old fox is really far-sighted!

Ye Chen gritted his teeth and felt a little panicked when he heard the banging sounds on the door.

"Listen up, everyone inside! Open the palace gates, kidnap the emperor, and bring him out. I will spare your lives! I will also guarantee you prosperity and wealth!"

Yang Dechang's voice suddenly came from outside the Observatory.

Upon hearing this, before Ye Chen could answer, several officials started cursing on the spot.

"Yang Dechang, you traitor! We will never betray His Majesty. We will live and die with His Majesty!"

"Rebellious ministers and traitors should be punished by everyone!"

"I would rather die than surrender to the enemy!"

Outside the Stargazing Hall, Yang Dechang's face darkened and he said viciously, "Alright, alright, I'll see how stubborn you are. Set fire!"

Following Yang Dechang's order.

Ye Chen suddenly felt something was wrong

Then, he suddenly saw fire coming out of the window.

Thick smoke billows up!
