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

After the twelve representatives of the noble families walked out of the imperial palace in Chang'an City, they all mounted their horses and rushed out of Chang'an City at an extremely fast speed.

Zhang Ru rode at full speed, raising clouds of dust, and rushed into the camp outside Chang'an City without stopping for a moment.

In the camp, a gorgeous carriage was parked quietly in the corner with the door curtain closed.

In the carriage, Zhang Caiwei nervously lifted the curtain and stared at the scene outside the carriage.

Uneasy and nervous.

Finally, Zhang Ru appeared in the camp.

The moment Zhang Caiwei saw Zhang Ru, her heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly fell to the ground.

Although the Zhang family has some trump cards, they are facing the current emperor this time. If the emperor becomes angry and wants to fight to the death, if anything happens to Zhang Ru, Zhang Caiwei will not know what to do.

You Zhang Ru also got on the carriage.

Zhang Caiwei immediately asked about his experience in the palace.

After listening to Zhang Ru's description.

Zhang Caiwei frowned slightly and immediately fell into deep thought.

"Sister, you and I have underestimated this emperor."

Zhang Ru frowned and said, "Today at the imperial court, the emperor proposed establishing a commodity trading office and asked aristocratic families from all over the country to participate in the competition and invest in supplies. It seems like this is actually giving the wealthy families an opportunity to make a lot of money. If this gets out, I'm sure a lot of supplies will flow into Chang'an City, and our plan will be completely ruined."

Hearing this, Zhang Caiwei smiled bitterly.

"Brother, at first, I also thought this was an opportunity for the wealthy and powerful families to make a fortune, but when I heard the emperor take out paper and wheat flour, I realized that there was more to it than meets the eye."

Zhang Caiwei sighed, feeling quite emotional.

"Both of these things are controlled by the emperor. I think he wants to use them to build a massive business system. The model he describes is unprecedented, with chain operations and unified allocation. It seems to be for the benefit of the aristocratic families, but in reality, he wants to control all the resources in the country."

Hearing this, Zhang Ru's eyes widened in disbelief: "Brother, are you saying that the emperor is plotting against us?"

Zhang Caiwei nodded heavily.

"Indeed, the emperor used this seemingly tempting plan to deceive the children of the noble families present. It seemed that he was cooperating with the government and that the noble families would benefit, but in reality, the noble families were just his pawns."

Zhang Caiwei frowned, her eyes gleaming with intelligence and vigilance. She spoke anxiously, "And brother, I think the emperor's move is intended to divide our powerful families. This plan he's put forward may seem like a piece of fat meat, but it's actually a sharp blade. It will cause the aristocratic families to kill each other for their own interests, and he will reap the benefits in the end."

Hearing this, Zhang Ru shuddered and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead after hearing his sister's words.

He was completely calm at this moment, and felt a chill deep in his bones. The tricks involved were too complicated, and he was a little overwhelmed.

"Then, sister, what should we do?"

Hearing this, Zhang Caiwei raised her chin slightly, her eyes firm. "So, brother, we can't get too involved. Don't invest too many resources. It's better to wait and see from the sidelines. This emperor is using an open strategy. I don't think he will let the powerful families truly benefit. He will definitely take action again. We can't be fooled."

"Well, let's do as my sister said. Let's observe the situation from a distance."

Zhang Ru nodded heavily.

The relevant news spread quickly throughout Guanzhong as if it had wings.

It's like a lake with a huge rock thrown into it, causing huge waves.

The wealthy and powerful families were all shocked, and many of them sent capable members of their families to Chang'an City to inquire about the news.

For a time, the sound of horse hooves could be heard continuously on the road leading to Chang'an.

At this moment, the attention of many powerful families in Guanzhong was focused on this matter.

Even if it was a letter from the northern grassland, these powerful families were not in the mood to care about it.

And on the grassland outside Dayu's northwest border.

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen are fighting.

The 30,000 cavalrymen of the Dongqiang tribe and the 10,000 cavalrymen of the Tatars collided fiercely like two dark clouds.

The sound of horse hooves was as deafening as thunder, and the shouts of killing reached the sky.

On the battlefield, swords flashed and blood splattered everywhere like a fountain.

While the battle was in full swing, another Tatar cavalry rushed out and attacked the flank and rear of the Dongqiang cavalry.

The Tatar cavalry was powerful and all of them were heavily armored. They used reasonable tactics and eventually penetrated the camp of the Eastern Qiang cavalry.

Behind the Dongqiang cavalry, tens of thousands of archers fired arrows at once, but the armored Tatar cavalry advanced under the rain of arrows.

The battle lasted for a long time, and the battlefield was littered with corpses and broken limbs.

The blood gathered into streams, flowing on the grassland, emitting a pungent fishy smell.

The neighing of war horses and the groaning of the wounded were intertwined. The grassland was in a mess after the war. The originally green grass was trampled beyond recognition, with large and small potholes everywhere.

The smoke of gunpowder filled the air for a long time.

The wind was howling, and the cavalry battle was nearing its end.

The Tatar cavalry was like a surging tide, and eventually broke the defense line of the Eastern Qiang Army into pieces.

At this time, a carriage rushed into the highlands.

Yang Dechang got off the carriage, his face as dark as the depths of the sea. He walked towards Yu Fuluo and congratulated him, "I congratulate the Chanyu on his great victory."

Hearing this, Yu Furuo rode on a tall warhorse on the high ground.

He was tall and strong, with a resolute face. He exuded the majesty of a grassland overlord, but his face showed joy.

"Heh, the Dongqiang tribe seems to have gotten a lot richer recently. Their equipment and supplies are much better than before. What's the reason?"

Yu Fuluo asked doubtfully.

Since he started attacking the Dongqiang tribe, he clearly discovered that the Dongqiang tribe's cavalry equipment was not only sophisticated, but also richer than before.

The spoils he obtained were much more than he had imagined.

Hearing this, Yang Dechang's eyes flashed. "Sir Chanyu, in my opinion, this must be the work of that little emperor. The little emperor of the Dayu Dynasty is so ignorant of his own limitations that he vainly attempts to strengthen the surrounding forces to check and balance you. How foolish!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Fuluo frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "Oh? What ability does the little emperor have? How could he make Dongqiang rich in such a short time?"

Yang Dechang stepped forward and lowered his voice, "Sir, the young emperor has come up with some new tricks to promote commercial transactions. I believe the Dongqiang people benefited from trading goods with Dayu."

A gleam of light flashed in Yu Furo's eyes.

"Okay, then I, the Chanyu, must go to Dayu's territory!"

If you can get so many benefits by robbing the Dongqiang tribe, let alone robbing Dayu.

Yu Furuo made up his mind to lead his troops eastward.
