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

After Ye Chen returned to the Yangxin Palace, he immediately asked someone to bring the bamboo slips.

He picked up his pen and started painting based on his memory.

Those training tools were all things he had seen through various military movies and TV dramas, as well as during military training.

Off-road obstacles, weighted sandbags, and climbing rope ladders.

There are even plum blossom piles.

Ye Chen drew them all.

Then he asked Cheng'en to send the bamboo slips to Kunning Palace.

After doing all this.

Ye Chen began to read the memorials sent by the Ministry of Personnel again.

He first looked at the official documents recording the information of filial and honest officials from all over the country. After reading for a while, he found that what Su Mengjiao said before was correct.

Without exception, all of these filial and honest people recommended from various places came from local wealthy families.

Generally, they serve as officials for generations.

It can be said that the father is an official, the son is an official, and all generations of the family have been officials.

Many people are related to officials in the court.

Promoting these people to the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue is naturally like inviting a wolf into the house.

"Your Majesty, Guard Shen is here. I'm here to ask you if Your Majesty practiced martial arts today."

Cheng'en suddenly stood aside and said.

"Yes!"

Ye Chen put away the bamboo slips on the table and stood up.

After reading these bamboo slips, he felt depressed thinking that the entire Dayu was controlled by these powerful families, so he decided to practice martial arts to distract himself.

Moreover, when it comes to practicing martial arts, you can't give up halfway, you have to persevere.

Ye Chen walked out of the Yangxin Palace and saw Shen Qiu again.

At this moment, Shen Qiu was wearing the moon-white brocade palace dress as usual, with a cool and elegant temperament.

"Qiu'er, are you going to continue teaching me swordsmanship today?"

Ye Chen asked doubtfully.

"Correct!"

Shen Qiu drew his knife.

His cold temperament, coupled with the sharp light of the sword, exudes a murderous aura.

Ye Chen took the wooden sword and followed Shen Qiu to practice martial arts.

Practicing martial arts is hard and tiring. The sword technique that Shen Qiu taught him was not complicated, but it required constant practice and constantly swinging the wooden sword to exercise arm strength.

After practicing for a while, Ye Chen soon became out of breath. Seeing this, Shen Qiu acted like a strict teacher and asked Ye Chen to continue practicing according to the standard posture, but did not force him.

If Ye Chen wants to stop, he can stop at any time.

But Ye Chen practiced until the sun set and stopped only when he felt exhausted.

"Your Majesty, if you practice this sword technique diligently for a month, you will be able to handle any ordinary martial arts expert!"

Shen Qiu looked at Ye Chen wiping the sweat off his face while panting. A strange light flashed in her beautiful eyes and she clasped her fists.

She didn't expect that Ye Chen could hold on for so long.

After all, without anyone forcing him, Ye Chen practiced martial arts entirely through willpower.

At this time, Shen Qiu also discovered that the emperor's martial arts training did not seem to be a short-lived enthusiasm.

"Haha, this is also due to your good teaching, Qiu'er."

Ye Chen approached Shen Qiu with a smile and said with admiration.

"If Qiu'er could stay by my side forever, my martial arts skills would surely improve by leaps and bounds!"

Hearing this, Shen Qiu's eyes immediately became sharp, and he glared at Ye Chen with some dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty, please don't forget that I am here to teach you on the orders of the Empress Dowager!"

Shen Qiu deliberately raised his tone and his face was cold.

"Ah."

Ye Chen smiled without comment. Even when Shen Qiu was angry, she still had a unique beauty.

Besides, Ye Chen didn’t really want to snatch the person from Su Mengjiao.

He was just teasing.

If a woman gets angry when you flirt with her, that’s okay, it proves that she has you in her heart.

But you can't coax her anymore at this time.

If you coax him again, he will lick you.

Women will look down on it.

Ye Chen then waved his hand, his tone calm and domineering.

"Qiu'er, I'm tired from practicing today. You can go back first and we'll continue tomorrow."

Shen Qiu looked at Ye Chen and lowered his head slightly.

"Yes."

Shen Qiu was about to retreat.

"Oh, Qiu'er, send someone to the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion and have Di Gui write a list. Then take the list to the Ministry of Personnel to request the official documents."

Ye Chen said to Shen Qiu.

He still didn't forget the important things.

The person recommended by Di Gui can fill the vacancy of the commander of the imperial guards.

Naturally, he was valued by Ye Chen.

Ye Chen first needs to understand the identities, past experiences, and current residence of these people.

"Yes!"

Shen Qiu retreated.

Ye Chen returned to the palace and waited.

And only half an hour had passed.

The bamboo slips allocated from the Ministry of Personnel were sent to the Yangxin Palace.

Ye Chen read it overnight.

However, after watching it.

Ye Chen's face looked a little ugly.

"What's going on? Four out of ten people on this list have become bandits. The others have either been thrown into prison, executed, or exiled."

Ye Chen slammed the dragon table, and his eyes instantly became gloomy.

On the bamboo slips sent from inside, those generals who once guarded the border for the country, after returning to the people, seemed to have been possessed by other bodies and all became unruly people.

From the perspective of Ye Chen's descendants, the reason these people had such a big change was definitely because they had suffered an unjust accusation or encountered extremely unfair treatment, which forced them to rebel.

Then think about the relationship between these people and the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

It was not difficult for Ye Chen to guess that someone was deliberately targeting these people.

Those powerful officials who framed the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion obviously wanted to wipe out the roots.

"The fate of these people must be closely related to the Ministry of Personnel!"

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes.

Only by knowing the identities of these people can we persecute them.

These people were far away from their hometowns, and the only way for officials in their hometowns to know their identities was through official documents from the Ministry of Personnel.

"It seems that rectifying the Ministry of Personnel is truly urgent."

Ye Chen put away the bamboo slips.

"Your Majesty, please drink some ginseng soup."

Huarui brought a small bowl of thick soup.

Ye Chen stayed up late that night, and she followed him, but she also felt sorry for him.

Ye Chen reached out to take the thick soup, took a big sip, and felt a warmth spreading from his chest.

He opened his mouth and blew out hot air.

Then, he looked at the pistil beside him and immediately felt a surge of hot blood in his chest.

Inside the Yangxin Palace, candlelight flickered.

She has light makeup and pink lips, and under her green brocade dress, her youthful and energetic body exudes a very girlish feel.

Ye Chen swallowed his saliva and felt that the pistil today was more beautiful and charming than before.

He pulled Hua Rui into his arms.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Huarui was surprised and her beautiful eyes were like water.

When Cheng'en saw this, he immediately and sensibly called everyone else out.

"Rui'er, it's time for us to go to bed."

Huarui blushed and lowered her head.

"Ah."

Ye Chen picked up Hua Rui and threw her on the dragon bed, then couldn't wait to untie her belt.

Hua Rui was startled.

Although she and Ye Chen had been sleeping together these days, they had not taken that crucial step.

But Ye Chen's actions at this time clearly showed that he didn't want to stop there.

Hua Rui blushed and stretched out her jade hand to press against Ye Chen's chest, but she only felt an astonishing heat from her jade hand and a strong masculine scent coming towards her.

Her heart trembled, and she became afraid despite the surprise.

"No, Your Majesty, please don't."
