Chapter 519 Something happened in the North!
In the Yangxin Palace.
Ye Chen was sitting on the dragon throne, processing official documents.
Two days have passed since the last assassination.
Ye Chen also began to officially rule the country, and as a result, the number of memorials he needed to deal with suddenly increased a lot more than usual.
Suddenly, Cheng En hurried to Ye Chen's side and whispered, "Your Majesty, this old servant has something important to report."
Ye Chen raised his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Speak."
"Your Majesty, according to reports from the Supervisory Office's spies, Yang Dechang was spotted leaving Bingzhou and heading north into the grasslands."
Hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes shone, and he pondered for a moment: "Cheng'en, go and call Fuyao quickly."
"Old slave obeys the order."
After saying that, Cheng'en hurriedly retreated.
Soon, Yun Fuyao walked into the Yangxin Palace.
At this moment, she was wearing a light yellow brocade dress, exuding a scholarly air, with a hint of charm in her eyes and eyebrows, adding a touch of mature charm to her intellectual beauty.
Although she is already a wife, her temperament has added a touch of charm and sexiness.
She bowed slightly towards Ye Chen.
"Your Majesty urgently summoned me, what is it?"
Ye Chen said, "The Supervisory Office has received accurate information that Yang Dechang has defected to the Tatars. This person knows Dayu's situation. If the Tatars get his help, they will become a serious threat. Is there any way to deal with it?"
Yun Fuyao pondered for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, there is no other solution except sending assassins."
Hearing this, Ye Chen was slightly stunned and said, "Assassin? Are you sure?"
Yun Fuyao shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not completely sure, but this is the only way."
Ye Chen asked again: "Besides assassination, what else should we do?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fuyao said, "Your Majesty, besides the assassination attempt, we can only strengthen the border defenses. At the same time, we must rectify the internal affairs as soon as possible and store food and supplies to prevent the Tatars from invading."
Ye Chen nodded slightly, Yun Fuyao’s plan was right.
He didn't need to add anything else.
After a moment, he said, "Fuyao, let's do as you say. Send someone out of the capital to tell Di Gui to select elite soldiers who are smart, fast, and good at killing people to enter the palace. Then notify the Supervisory Office Lu Niu Dan to select someone with experience in the martial arts world and finally someone who can speak Tatar to enter the palace."
"Tell them to go to Taiqian Palace. I will be waiting for them there."
Hearing this, Yun Fuyao bowed slightly and said, "I will do it right away."
Ye Chen then walked out of the Yangxin Palace and took the emperor's ceremonial procession to the Taiqian Palace.
The Taiqian Hall is majestic and magnificent, with red walls and yellow tiles that sparkle in the sunlight. The hall is towering into the clouds, with carved beams and painted rafters, fully demonstrating the royal majesty.
Ye Chen walked into the hall, sat on the dragon throne, and dealt with memorials for a while.
Di Gui and Lu Niu Dan brought their people to Taiqian Palace.
The ten elite soldiers led by Di Gui were all in high spirits, well-armored, and of strong build.
Lu Niudan also led ten people, but his momentum was not as strong as those elite soldiers.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
Di Gui and Lu Niu Dan knelt down one after another.
The twenty people following behind them also knelt down.
"Be flat."
Wait until everyone stands up.
Ye Chen looked at the twenty people behind Di Gui and Lu Niu Dan and said in a deep voice, "This mission is to go to the northern grasslands and assassinate Yang Dechang. Yang Dechang has defected to the Tatars. If he is not eliminated, he will constantly threaten the country of Dayu and cause endless trouble. The twenty of you are warriors selected by me. You must succeed this time. After that, I will reward you handsomely!"
Upon hearing this, twenty people knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.
"As you wish!"
Ye Chen then said to Cheng En, "Order the palace painter to carefully draw Yang Dechang's appearance and show it to the warriors present."
"Old slave obeys the order."
Then, Cheng'en left Taiqian Palace with twenty people.
"Lord Di, Lord Lu, you will have lunch with me later. Please leave after you finish eating."
Ye Chen spoke in a gentle tone, and Di Gui and Lu Niu Dan knelt down one after another.
"We thank the Lord for His great grace!"
After Ye Chen finished his lunch, he took the emperor's ceremonial procession and left Taiqian Palace.
He rode in a sedan chair on the main road of the palace.
Originally, Ye Chen wanted to go to the Yangxin Palace.
However, the next moment, he suddenly thought of Mrs. Xue.
"I've been so busy these past few days that I forgot to listen to music."
Ye Chen turned to look at Cheng En beside him.
"Go to Chunxue Palace and deliver all the memorials."
"promise!"
Cheng'en immediately shouted, "Go to Chunxue Palace!"
Ye Chen quickly arrived in front of Chunxue Palace in a sedan chair.
When Mrs. Xue heard the noise, she walked out to greet them.
She was dressed in a simple and elegant white snow-white dress that wrapped around her curvy body, making her look naturally charming and noble.
Seeing Ye Chen, she was slightly stunned, then knelt down and shouted respectfully: "Your Majesty."
Ye Chen got off the sedan chair, gently helped Madam Xue up, and said, "Madam, there is no need to be so polite."
The moment Ye Chen's hand touched Madam Xue, he felt a hint of warmth.
Mrs. Xue's pretty face flushed, and her heart was filled with a mixture of shyness and resistance.
Ye Chen released his hand and said, "Madam Xue, play a song for me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Madam Xue nodded slightly, welcomed Ye Chen into the palace, and asked the palace maid to bring out the zither.
She sat in front of the piano, plucking it lightly with her jade fingers, and the melodious sound of the piano rang out, gentle and beautiful.
Ye Chen listened while reviewing the memorials.
But not long after, Cheng'en suddenly ran to his side.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent military report from the north."
Ye Chen's face turned stern, and he looked at Madam Xue and said, "Madam Xue, I will come to listen to the music another day."
It is naturally not appropriate to let others know about the urgent military report.
Ye Chen stood up and was about to leave.
Madam Xue quickly stood up and saluted.
"I respectfully send you to Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Ye Chen felt a little reluctant. He had originally wanted to completely break the window paper between him and Madam Xue today.
After all, he is now in power and has the ability to bring Madam Xue into the harem.
What can I do? I can only wait until later.
After returning to the Yangxin Palace with the emperor's ceremonial procession, Ye Chen asked Cheng'en about the northern military report.
Cheng'en hurried forward and presented the letter.
Ye Chen took the letter, unfolded it, and his hands began to tremble involuntarily.
"The King of the North is dying?"
The news hit me like a hammer.
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and immediately gave the order.
"Cheng'en, prepare the emperor's ceremonial guards. I need to go to Kunning Palace."
Ye Chen hurried out of the Yangxin Palace and sat on the emperor's ceremonial guard.
But on the way to Kunning Palace, Cheng'en came to report again: "Your Majesty, Su Fu asked to see you, saying that he wanted to resign and go to the north."
Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, "Okay, but let him go back and wait for one more day."
"promise!"
Soon, Ye Chen arrived at Kunning Palace.
After entering Kunning Palace, I saw Su Mengjiao wearing a black phoenix robe, sitting lazily in the pavilion eating grapes.
She was wearing a bright red phoenix robe, which fully displayed her noble and domineering temperament and made her look extremely graceful and elegant.
As soon as she saw Ye Chen, a look of doubt appeared on her pretty face.
"What brings the Emperor here?"
Hearing this, Ye Chen said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, the King of the Northern Territory is dying."
Hearing this, Su Mengjiao trembled all over, her eyes widened, and she stood up suddenly.
At this moment, her eyes narrowed, her face showed panic, and she no longer had her usual calmness.
At this moment, Su Mengjiao was like an ordinary panicked girl.
Ye Chen looked at her and said firmly: "Once the King of the North dies, there will be chaos in the North. The new King of the North must be elected immediately."
Hearing this, Su Mengjiao calmed down a little.
She was about to speak, but Ye Chen said again: "You can't leave, you are the queen mother."
Su Mengjiao bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes. Ye Chen continued, "I plan to go to the northern border myself."
"I'll leave the government to you for now!"
Hearing this, Su Mengjiao was stunned.
