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

After Su Jiao left the Yangxin Palace.

Ye Chen looked at the account books from the Ministry of Revenue again and had breakfast at the same time.

But before he finished his breakfast, Chao En came to him and handed him two small notes.

"Your Majesty, I have inquired clearly. The ones on this note are the commanders of the Imperial Guards who have connections with the ministers in the court. The ones on this note are the Empress Dowager's people in the Imperial Guards."

Ye Chen took the two notes and took a look at them, his eyes darkening slightly.

My goodness, there are a total of thirty imperial guards generals inside and outside the palace, and fifteen of them are related to powerful officials in the court.

Of the remaining 15, 8 were from the North, and were obviously planted by the Queen Mother.

The last seven are all children of nobles in the court, and these children are likely to be on the sidelines, and they will support whoever wins.

"Is Zhang Nan, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards outside the palace, Yang Baxian's nephew?"

Ye Chen frowned slightly. Even the chief commander of the Imperial Guards was a man of the powerful minister. The dispatch of the entire outer city Imperial Guards could be said to be completely under the control of the powerful minister.

"The Imperial Guards are closely related to my safety. From now on, I must clear out these powerful officials and use my own people!"

Ye Chen fell into deep thought, he must replace all these imperial guards with his own men. Only in this way could he take control of his own safety.

However, he now has no soldiers or horses.

Not to mention replacing the imperial guards.

"Chao En."

"The slave is here."

"Tell me, in the entire world of Dayu today, where is there an army that is truly loyal to me?"

"this."

Chao En looked embarrassed and said, "I don't know."

"Ah."

Ye Chen smiled helplessly. Chao En didn't know, but he could guess that such an army might no longer exist.

After all, what army would be loyal to a mentally retarded emperor?

"It seems that I have to build my own power step by step from scratch!"

Ye Chen looked solemnly at the two notes in his hand, frowning and thinking.

Starting from scratch is undoubtedly the most difficult thing.

Just when Ye Chen hadn't figured out what was going on, Hua Rui suddenly walked into the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, Guard Shen is here."

Huarui bowed.

Ye Chen looked up and saw Hua Rui's collar, and was slightly stunned.

"so white."

Huarui's face turned red and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

Shen Wan strode in.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asks you to go."

"What is it?"

Ye Chen couldn't help but raise his lower eyebrow.

Su Jiao had just been to the Yangxin Palace not long ago, so why did she let him go there again now?

"Your Majesty, it's about Du Min."

Shen Wan's voice was as cold as ever, but a complicated expression appeared on her beautiful face.

"What happened to Du Min?"

Ye Chen asked with some doubts.

"The Queen Mother ordered this man to be recruited, but he refused."

"Okay, go tell the Queen Mother, I'll be there right away."

After Ye Chen arrived at Kunning Palace, he met Su Jiao again who was reviewing memorials.

Su Jiao sat upright in front of the desk, looked up at Ye Chen, and said, "Emperor, Du Min said he is ill and cannot enter the palace."

"what!"

Ye Chen immediately narrowed his eyes, feeling a little surprised.

Why didn’t you get sick earlier or later, but now?

Ye Chen didn’t believe it at all. The imperial court personally recruited him, but this guy named Du didn’t come?

Su Jiao sneered and said, "I asked someone later. Minister Du has been raising horses for the past few years. He hasn't improved in other aspects, but his temper has been getting worse and worse."

"On a daily basis, there are many complaints against me, the emperor, and even the civil and military officials in the court."

"He even claimed that raising horses for the rest of his life was better than being an official in the capital and getting stained with dirt."

Su Jiao felt a little disdainful.

She didn't expect that this Du man's emotional intelligence was so low. Could he just say such outrageous words casually?

This kind of person is too arrogant and is destined to die.

"Oh, this guy still has a dead duck mouth."

Ye Chen smiled, but no matter what the other person's temper was, he valued his ability more.

It doesn’t matter if he has a bad mouth or something like that.

Moreover, the more capable a person is, the more likely he or she will have some character flaws.

Ye Chen is actually more interested in this kind of person.

"What does dead duck mouth mean?"

Su Jiao was a little surprised. She had eaten duck before, but this was the first time she heard the term "dead duck's mouth".

"Dead duck mouth, the body is rotten, but the mouth is still hard."

Hearing this, Su Jiao couldn't help but smile, and for a moment, the whole palace lit up.

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, but he was just amazed.

"Empress Dowager, where is Minister Du now?"

"Emperor, what do you want to do?"

Su Jiao looked at Ye Chen with hesitation.

"I want to leave the palace and meet Minister Du in person."

Ye Chen said so.

Upon hearing this, Su Jiao's face changed and she was quite surprised.

"Emperor, you are the ruler of a country. Do you know what it means for you to leave the palace? Doing so is too dangerous. I do not agree!"

"Queen Dowager, we have to deal with the Tatars in the north and Prime Minister Yang's faction in the court. If we stay in the palace all the time, it will absolutely not work."

"Although it is dangerous, it is the key to breaking the deadlock."

Ye Chen said with a firm look on his face.

After hearing Ye Chen's words, Su Jiao was silent for a moment.

"Hmph, fine. Since the Emperor insists so much, I'll do as you say, Wan'er."

"exist!"

"The Emperor is leaving the palace. You select some imperial guards to follow him and provide close protection."

Su Jiao waved her hand and finally agreed.

Shen Wanze stared at Ye Chen and said, "Your Majesty, when will we set off?"

"immediately!"

"Chao En, go find some suitable clothes from ordinary people."

Ye Chen naturally planned to travel incognito.

"Wan'er, I'm going back to the bedroom to change clothes. Do you want to come with me? I'll ask Chao En to find you a set as well."

Ye Chen said to Shen Wan who was standing beside him.

"Your Majesty, please call me Shen Wan."

Shen Wan's face was as cold as ice. She said, "I will go back and change my clothes. I will be waiting for you at the door of your Majesty's bedroom!"

"Then Queen Mother, I will go back first."

"Ok!"

"There's one more thing."

"what?"

"Queen Mother, you look so beautiful when you smile!"

"Um?!"

Su Jiao was slightly stunned, and a blush quickly appeared on her fair face.

Then, her eyes seemed to be on fire again.

When had she ever been teased like this?

But before she could scold him.

Ye Chen turned around and walked out of Kunning Palace.

"Wan'er, keep a close eye on the emperor!"

Su Jiao gritted her teeth.

He just felt that the tyrant was still the tyrant, and his frivolous nature had not changed at all.

"promise!"

Wait until Ye Chen returns to the Yangxin Palace.

A group of beautiful girls came up to greet them.

Hua Rui led some palace maids and knelt down to pay their respects to Ye Chen.

"Your Majesty!"~

The huge downward tilt of the body outlines Hua Rui's graceful figure, revealing her snow-white skin between the collar.

Ye Chen took a closer look.

What a great ambition!

"Your Majesty, the clothes are ready."

Chaoen suddenly walked in with some clothes.

"Hey, cough, cough."

Ye Chen was a little embarrassed and coughed twice.

"Come here, everyone, and help me change my clothes."

Ye Chen was serious and opened his arms.

"I obey your command."

Huarui led everyone forward immediately.

First, he took off Ye Chen's dragon robe, then took off the emperor's crown, and re-combed Ye Chen's hair.

Waves of fragrant breeze lingered, and in addition to the unique body fragrance of a young girl, there were also waves of virgin fragrance.

Ye Chen felt the fragrance was so fragrant that he felt refreshed.

Wait until you have changed your clothes.

He suddenly put his arm around Huarui's waist.

The waist of the pistil is very slender, like a knife for killing people.

"Your Majesty~."

Huarui blushed and instinctively placed her hands on her chest, feeling nervous, afraid and shy.

"Oh, put your hands down."

"Your Majesty~."

Hua Rui bit her red lips lightly, her heart pounding. She felt nervous and scared, but also happy. She was just a palace maid, so naturally she wanted to be favored.

So she obediently put her hands down, but her body gradually tensed up.

But that's it.

"Your Majesty, Guard Shen is here."

Chao En said tactfully while standing outside the bedroom door.

Ye Chen withdrew his hand reluctantly, looking at the extremely shy pistil in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If this happened in the future, she would definitely be the white moonlight in the dreams of countless men.

Ye Chen probably doesn't even have the qualifications to hold her hand.

If Ye Chen had not traveled through time and space to become an emperor, how could he have encountered such a good thing?

This also strengthened Ye Chen's determination to seize all power and sit firmly on the throne.

Only by sitting firmly on the throne and holding great power can he have the company of beauties and indulge in romantic affairs.
