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

In the royal garden.

Ye Chen's face was solemn, and he looked intimidating without being angry.

"Lord Di, Lord Xia, Lord Li, please come with me. I have something to tell you."

"The rest of you, form up and wait!"

Ye Chen waved his hand and turned to walk aside.

Di Gui, Xia Ju, and Li Heng immediately followed Ye Chen.

The other people in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion stood quietly with their hands behind their backs.

Then, Ye Chen began to introduce to Di Gui, Xia Ju and Li Heng how to use the equipment and the training methods he knew.

And accompanied by Ye Chen's introduction.

Di Gui, Xia Ju and Li Heng became more and more surprised as they listened.

Sometimes, the three of them didn’t understand and asked questions in confusion, and Ye Chen answered them one by one.

And after listening to Ye Chen's words.

"Your Majesty, everything else is fine, but you only spend two hours a day training in martial arts, and the rest of the time running, lining up, and standing in the corner as punishment. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Di Gui raised the problem he felt.

In his opinion, the most important thing in training soldiers is to improve their martial arts, let them learn to obey, form appropriate battle formations, and be able to bravely go into battle and kill the enemy.

But the training method proposed by Ye Chen was obviously contrary to what he knew.

There are regulations for standing in the corners, queuing, walking methods, and even the height of lifting feet. Even martial arts training only involves stabbing and no other moves are practiced.

Can soldiers trained in this way go to the battlefield?

"Lord Di, on the battlefield, no matter how many moves you have, they are merely individual prowess. Only unity brings strength!"

"My method of training soldiers is to ensure they are united enough."

"I believe that the soldiers trained with this method will be absolutely elite!"

Ye Chen acted extremely confident, his tone was steady, and he exuded a domineering aura.

Hearing this, Di Gui, Xia Ju and Li Heng looked at each other.

"If Your Majesty insists on training the troops this way, then we will obey your orders!"

Di Gui took the lead, and the three of them knelt down together and saluted Ye Chen with their fists clasped.

"Xia Ju, Li Heng, you two will temporarily take command and be responsible for training the troops. Lord Di, you have a new mission and will not participate in the training for the time being."

Ye Chen said.

Di Gui, Xia Ju, and Li Heng: "Yes!"

then.

Xia Ju and Li Heng went to train their troops.

The one hundred people from Jing'an Prefecture were selected from six hundred people. They were of good quality and obeyed orders very well. Under the orders of the two men, they quickly lined up in an orderly manner.

While watching the two men training, Yue Kuang asked Cheng'en to bring over all the bamboo slips he had looked through yesterday.

After Di Gui finished reading the bamboo slips, his face became a little gloomy.

"Your Majesty, I know these people. They are not thieves. In the past, they were all heroes fighting against Tubo on the border!"

Di Gui's hands were shaking as he held the bamboo slips. He never expected that the comrades he knew would end up in such a miserable state after retiring.

Many of them have become bandits.

Many were directly exiled, and some broke the law and were thrown into prison.

"Lord Di, I naturally trust you. There must be special reasons why these warriors who once defended Dayu's borders ended up like this. I have decided to investigate thoroughly. However, controlling the Imperial Guards is the most important thing now."

"I need you to contact those who are still willing to serve Dayu now. Once I take control of the Imperial Guards, I will thoroughly investigate those treacherous officials who persecuted Dayu's warriors!"

Ye Chen had a serious expression and a gentle tone.

And listened to what he said.

Di Gui looked embarrassed, but he finally clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I will do my best, but I can't guarantee how many people I can call back."

"It's okay, even if you can only call back one person, I'll still count it as a credit to you!"

Ye Chen immediately asked Cheng En to bring bamboo slips, wrote the imperial edict on the spot, and asked Cheng En to give it to Su Mengjiao to use as the seal.

"Lord Di, this matter must be carried out in secret. Don't let those powerful officials find out."

Ye Chen asked Cheng'en to transfer a hundred taels of silver notes from the inner treasury, handed it to Di Gui, and said earnestly.

"The minister obeys the order."

Di Gui took the imperial edict, knelt down immediately, then put the edict in his arms and turned away.

Ye Chen asked people to bring tents and let the hundred people set up camp directly in Shanglin Garden.

Wait until he has arranged everything.

"Your Majesty, Miss Qin from the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion has arrived."

Shen Qiu suddenly came to Ye Chen and said softly.

"Oh, Miss Qin is there?"

Ye Chen asked immediately.

"Just outside the Imperial Garden. I've been waiting for a while. Miss Qin didn't want to disturb you and asked me not to remind you."

Shen Qiu looked at the tents that were erected, feeling a little complicated.

When she heard about Ye Chen training his troops, she had doubts at first, but after watching from the side, she found that Ye Chen seemed really confident, and those people were training really well.

Ye Chen actually has a method of training soldiers.

Although Shen Qiu had never seen this method of training soldiers before.

"I'll be there right away."

Ye Chen turned around and strode towards the entrance of the Imperial Garden.

But when he saw Qin Meng.

Qin Man was wearing a sky blue brocade dress and a golden hairpin was inserted in her bun.

Her pure temperament also reveals a hint of aristocratic temperament.

Ye Chen's eyes lit up, he smiled slightly and walked up.

"Mian'er, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Ye Chen's tone was gentle.

"No."

Qin Man quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"No need to be so polite, Man'er, get up quickly."

Ye Chen stepped forward and took the initiative to help Qin Man up.

His hand touched Qin Man's skin, which was as soft as jade. Qin Man trembled all over and tried to pull her hand back, but found that she couldn't pull it back, so she let Ye Chen hold her.

After Qin Man stood up, Ye Chen withdrew his hand.

"Mian'er, what brings you to the palace?"

Ye Chen stared at Qin Man's starry eyes and asked in confusion.

"I, I came to see Uncle Di and the others."

Qin Man smiled sweetly and said something insincerely.

"Then let me show you around."

Ye Chen stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture.

Qin Man was slightly stunned when she saw this.

Dayu believed in the superiority of men and the inferiority of women. Even if a man wanted to invite a woman on a trip, he would never propose it himself, but would have to inform his servants.

Ye Chen's behavior at this time was completely different from other men Qin Man had ever seen.

"it is good."

Qin Man lowered her head slightly, with a thousand thoughts in her mind, and followed Ye Chen.

While Ye Chen was taking Qin Man for a stroll in the Imperial Garden, all the officials in the Taiqian Palace had already left the court.

Zhongshu Province.

An imperial censor came quickly to the side of the Imperial Censor Chen Xiu and handed him a piece of brocade.

Chen Xiu took the silk, looked at it, and then handed it to Yang Dechang.

"Prime Minister, news from the palace!"

Yang Dechang immediately took the silk and after looking at it for a few seconds, he snorted coldly.

"The young emperor actually started training his troops. He's really overestimating his own abilities."

Yang Dechang's face was full of disdain.
