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

Inside the Taiqian Palace.

Qin Man walked in slowly, feeling nervous.

She held the sandalwood box tightly in her hand and stared at the magnificent hall in front of her with wide eyes.

Looking at the civil and military officials standing in the hall.

Qin Man's pretty face was slightly tense, but her eyes showed determination.

Her eyes swept across the officials, slowly moved upwards, and finally stopped on the dragon throne.

She was suddenly stunned.

Ye Chen wore the emperor's crown and sat on the dragon throne, exuding endless majesty and imperial aura.

Qin Man opened her mouth slightly and stood there in a daze.

"Miss Qin, come here quickly."

Ye Chen waved his hand with a gentle tone.

Qin Man calmed herself down, her heart filled with shock, her delicate body trembling slightly.

She never thought that Ye Chen was the emperor.

The prince who had been mentally retarded since childhood not only recovered, but also saved her from danger many times.

The change before and after is really huge.

Qin Man felt a little resentful about being kept in the dark, but more than that, she was surprised and excited.

"Qin Man, daughter of the late Marquis Jing'an, greets our emperor. Long live our emperor, long live our emperor, long, long live our emperor!"

Qin Man knelt on the ground trembling and bowed down.

"Be flat."

Ye Chen's tone remained gentle.

Yang Dechang glanced at Qin Man, his face darkening. He then turned and bowed to Ye Chen, saying, "Your Majesty, it has been three years since the incident involving Marquis Jing'an. The few letters he left behind are just one person's opinion and cannot be used as evidence."

Hearing this, Qin Man, who was about to bring up the sandalwood box, frowned slightly.

And Ye Chen suddenly laughed.

"Prime Minister Yang, it seems you know about the letter left by the old Marquis of Jing'an? Have you read it?"

"Your Majesty, this old minister has only heard something."

Yang Dechang's eyes flashed and he bowed.

"Humph."

Ye Chen snorted coldly and said, "If it were in the past, these letters would not be evidence, but now, it has been confirmed that Huangfu Chong is an old thief. Do you still dare to say that the letter from Marquis Jing'an is groundless?"

".Your Majesty, one thing is another."

Yang Dechang's face was stern, but he was determined not to let Ye Chen succeed.

Huangfu Chong’s guilt has been established, but he will never allow Ye Chen to turn the tables on the matter of Marquis Jing’an.

"Prime Minister Yang, the letter is not evidence, but someone is feeling guilty."

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Yang Dechang.

Hearing this, Yang Dechang was stunned.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

"Yesterday, someone broke into the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion, intending to steal several letters left by the old Marquis of Jing'an. They were stopped by the imperial guards. These people were all assassins, and each of them had taken poison beforehand. However, I have captured their accomplices!"

"Bring the people up!"

Ye Chen slammed the dragon table with a sound like thunder.

Yang Dechang suddenly turned around and saw the imperial guards escorting three figures up to the Taiqian Palace.

And after seeing the three figures clearly.

Yang Dechang's eyes darkened slightly, and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

The three figures were all tied up and had cloth stuffed in their mouths.

As soon as the three of them knelt in the hall, they immediately began to stammer and looked quite panicked.

"Take the cloth out of their mouths."

A guard stepped forward and took the cloth out of the three men's mouths.

"Tell me, who ordered you to break into the Marquis's mansion?"

"This is your last chance, otherwise I will treat you as the mastermind and torture you to death!"

Ye Chen's voice was stern, filled with murderous intent.

The three of them shuddered at the same time.

"Your Majesty, I'm telling you, we are just liaisons. We only do things for the money!"

One of them said immediately.

Although these people were in the same group as the assassins who had previously broken into the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion, they clearly did not have the same ruthlessness as those assassins.

"Oh, who gave you the money? Who told you to do this?"

"No, I don't know. The man didn't reveal his identity when he contacted us. He seemed to be a housekeeper!"

The frightened man continued to confess.

"Then what exactly did the steward want you to do by rushing into the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and asked again.

"Rob things, rob the old Marquis Jing'an's belongings, rob the few letters left by the old Marquis Jing'an!"

Yang Dechang, standing by, could no longer sit still. He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, these people dared to trespass into the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion. Their crimes are truly heinous. They must be immediately dragged away and executed!"

Hearing this, the three of them turned pale with fear.

"Yang Dechang, do you want to kill people to silence them?!"

Ye Chen's eyes were sharp and he asked directly.

Hearing this, Yang Dechang's lips moved.

"I dare not, old minister."

"You wouldn't dare!"

Ye Chen turned his gaze to the three people.

"I ask you, is everything you say true?"

"Absolutely true!"

“It’s all true!”

"I dare not lie, Your Majesty is wise!"

The three of them nodded like garlic.

"it is good!"

Ye Chen then stared at Huangfu Chong and said, "The letter left by Marquis Jing'an clearly states that my 30,000 strong men were defeated by the Tibetan army because of their inadequate military equipment. Huangfu Chong, tell me! Are you afraid that the matter will be exposed, so you sent someone to the Marquis Jing'an Mansion? Do you want to destroy the evidence?"

"Ah! No, not the minister!"

Huangfu Chong quickly denied it.

"If not you, then who else?"

Ye Chen's eyes were bright, but his gaze shifted to Yang Dechang.

"Could it be the Prime Minister? After all, the Prime Minister defended you like this! By the way, if the Marquis of Jing'an's letter is true, then is the lie about military intelligence also true? Were all those ministers who lied about military intelligence in cahoots with you?"

Upon hearing this, many civil and military officials trembled with guilt.

"Somebody come!"

Ye Chen slammed the dragon table.

Many officials were frightened and trembling, and at this time, Yang Dechang stood up.

"Your Majesty, judging from the situation now, Marquis Jing'an may have been wronged."

Yang Dechang's eyes were very gloomy and his expression was quite ugly.

He now regretted deeply that he should not have sent anyone to the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion in the first place.

Now that Ye Chen has caught him, if he doesn't give an explanation, more people will be implicated.

It might even involve him.

At this time, Yang Dechang also understood that he could only sacrifice the rook to save the king.

"Prime Minister, what do you mean?"

"This old scoundrel Huangfu Chong deceived the emperor and deceived his superiors. He must have abused his power, embezzled supplies for the border, and then provided false intelligence. The old ministers and officials were all deceived by him!"

Yang Dechang gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

And after hearing this.

Huangfu Chong's lips began to tremble.

"Oh, come here, Huangfu Chong and Sikong Yi deceived the emperor and framed loyal officials. They are guilty of multiple crimes. Drag them away and behead them!"

"Copy the house!"

Ye Chen's eyes were sharp, his tone was overbearing, and his methods were extremely ruthless.

Several imperial guards immediately stepped forward and lifted up Huangfu Chong and Sikong Yiru.

"No, no! Your Majesty, spare my life! Your Majesty, Prime Minister!"

"Prime Minister, help me!"

Huangfu Chong and Sikong Yiru were dragged away howling in pain.

The corner of Yang Dechang's eyes twitched slightly. Ye Chen's attack was too ruthless.

Don't show mercy when you are right.

There is no room for maneuver at all.
