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

Inside the Northern Palace.

The Tatar envoy Damaha stared at Ye Chen in shock, gritting his teeth.

The Tatar prince standing aside had a fierce look in his eyes.

He was seen through, not least by an envoy from Dayu's court.

Both of them felt threatened and were therefore alert.

At this time, Cui pointed at Ye Chen and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! You are not a Tatar, how could you possibly know the situation of the Tatar tribe? Don't lie to me!"

Hearing this, a hint of anger flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.

He is too lazy to talk nonsense now.

When he came to the Northern Border Palace, he never thought of using words to persuade Cui.

So, just when Damaha and Tahamu cast malicious glances at Ye Chen, Ye Chen suddenly drew out his sword and slashed at Damaha with lightning speed.

Damaha had no time to react. He saw a flash of cold light and his head and body were separated.

Everyone was stunned by Ye Chen's action, and the whole hall fell silent in an instant.

The next moment, Tahamu reacted, shouted angrily, drew his sword and rushed towards Ye Chen.

However, just as he was about to move, a cold sword light flashed.

Shen Qiu was the first to draw her sword. She was light and nimble, and moved extremely fast, like a cold snowflake. The sword light was like a flash of lightning, and it swept towards Tahamu's neck.

Tahamu retreated in horror, the sword blade grazed his neck, bringing out a few drops of blood.

At this moment, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and he was terrified. He did not expect that the female guards around Ye Chen had such high martial arts skills.

The next moment, Shen Qiu rushed forward and chopped down Tahamu with a few sword strikes, forcing him to retreat.

"Do it!"

Ye Chen shouted.

In an instant, a large number of imperial guards who had been lying in ambush outside the palace rushed into the Northern Border Palace.

Tahamu and other Tatars tried to resist, but were soon disarmed by the siege of numerous imperial guards.

Even Tahamu himself was trampled under the feet of Shen Qiu.

"what!"

Wait until the situation is settled.

Cui was so frightened that her face turned as pale as paper.

She never expected that Ye Chen would suddenly take action and dare to kill the Tatar envoy.

She pointed at Ye Chen tremblingly and said, "You, you, how dare you do this?!"

Ye Chen sneered, sheathed his sword, looked coldly at the Tatars who were subdued by the imperial guards, and then spoke.

At this moment, his voice was cold, full of majesty and endless murderous intent.

"Tear off one of their arms, one of their ears, and tell them to get out."

When these words were spoken, the Tatars were terrified, and Tahamu even struggled, but he could not move at all under Shen Qiu's suppression.

And when the imperial guards dragged these Tatars away.

Ye Chen suddenly turned to look at Cui and said, "Cui, you colluded with the Tatars. Your crime is unforgivable."

"Arrest her and interrogate her strictly to see if this woman was being manipulated by someone else and if she has any backers or accomplices!"

Upon hearing this, Cui shuddered, then gritted her teeth and said, "This is the Northern Territory. I am the wife of the Northern Territory King's Palace. The Youzhou City defense troops must have arrived. Humph, you still want to arrest me? I advise you to run away quickly. Maybe you can still escape from Youzhou City now!"

With such a big incident happening in the Northern Palace, the city defense troops will definitely take action.

Su Guanghao, who was standing by, brought his men forward and drew his sword to block Cui.

Ye Chen just snorted coldly at this.

At this moment, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground, a cavalryman suddenly rushed into the palace.

When the cavalry saw the scene inside the palace, they were stunned at first, then dismounted.

Then, the cavalryman knelt on one knee and shouted, "Madam! Thousands of infantrymen have suddenly entered the city from outside the north gate! Chen Fang's military command has been taken under their control!"

"what?"

Cui was slightly stunned.

"The three thousand infantrymen entering the city were brought by me, and another seven thousand will arrive tomorrow!"

Ye Chen's tone was calm.

He dared to take action because he had already taken everything into consideration and had already ordered 3,000 infantrymen to march non-stop and forcedly so that they could enter Youzhou City today.

The entire Youzhou City’s defense force had only two thousand soldiers.

The King of the Northern Territory did not maintain private troops. The main forces of his army were in several cities in the north, and the only troops in the cities were those established by the imperial court to defend the cities.

As a result, the three thousand infantrymen who entered the city easily took control of the entire Bingmasi.

Controlling the troops of the city defense department is equivalent to controlling the entire Youzhou city!

Ye Chen looked at Su Guanghao again and said, "Cui is colluding with the Tatars. Anyone who helps him is an accomplice and will be considered a rebel and must be executed!"

Upon hearing this, Su Guanghao's face immediately showed hesitation, and the guards around him were even more frightened.

"Su Guanghao, get out of the way! The fault lies with the Cui family. Your Excellency is merciful and will make a judgment after a thorough investigation. He will not show favoritism. The Cui family may not really die!"

A voice suddenly sounded, it was Su Fu who stood up and said.

Hearing this, Su Guanghao became even more hesitant, and his hand gripping the knife handle loosened, tightened, and loosened again.

"Guanghao, Guanghao, I'm doing this all for you, you must save me."

Cui was also panicked at this time, and quickly grabbed Su Guanghao's sleeve and said.

Su Guanghao hesitated for a while, but seeing that the imperial guards around him were moving forward step by step, he could only sigh softly.

"Madam, tell me what you want to say. I won't dare torture them even if I leave them hanging."

Su Guanghao stepped aside.

He was still very aware of the current situation and knew that his resistance now would be of no use.

Upon seeing this, Cui collapsed to the ground.

Then he was carried away by the imperial guards.

Ye Chen looked at Cui's exhausted appearance without a trace of pity in his heart.

If he hadn't come today, the entire situation north of the Yellow River would have been ruined by this woman.

Now, he felt a little relieved.

"Su Fu, take me to see the King of the North."

"promise."

Under the guidance of Su Fu, Ye Chen came to the residence of the King of the North.

As soon as I stepped into the room, I saw Su Meng lying on the bed.

Su Meng's face was pale, his breath was weak, and he looked extremely weak.

When he saw Ye Chen, confusion and doubt were clearly revealed in the eyes of Su Meng's old face.

Ye Chen sat on the edge of the bed.

"King of the North, I am here."

Ye Chen's voice was steady, but he did not address the official as "official" anymore. Instead, he stated his identity directly.

In an instant, light flashed in Su Meng's eyes.

The next moment, he began to struggle to stand up and salute, but Ye Chen quickly stepped forward and pushed him down.

"King of the North, no need to be so polite, just lie down."

Ye Chen's tone was gentle, yet he retained the majesty of an emperor.

Su Meng seemed quite excited, and a hint of red appeared on his pale face.

"Your Majesty, I never thought I'd see you again. When I first received the Queen Mother's letter informing me that Your Majesty had recovered, I was a little skeptical. Who would have thought that only three months later, the Tatar army would actually withdraw."

"Your Majesty, it seems that your illness has really healed. May God bless our dynasty. The late emperor can finally rest in peace."

Su Meng seemed to have a last glimmer of life and was finally able to utter complete sentences. Even though his voice was still weak and trembling, and every word seemed to have exhausted all his strength, his pronunciation was still clear.

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly.

"King of the North, you have worked hard to guard the North over the years. I will always remember your contributions."

Ye Chen's words revealed respect.

"Your Majesty, in the North, the old minister's nephew is of no use."

Su Meng began to talk about the northern border.

"I know, King of the North, that your second daughter, Su Fu, is very capable. You can let Su Guanghao be the nominal King of the North. I will let your second daughter control the actual power."

"King of the North, do you think this arrangement is a good one?"

Ye Chen told him his arrangements.

Hearing this, Su Meng looked up at Su Fu beside him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Your Majesty is wise. With this arrangement, I can rest assured."

Su Meng breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and the color on his face gradually faded.
