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

Chapter 212 The Queen Mother in a feminine manner!

The Ministry of War suddenly transferred a large amount of food supplies to the Beijing Camp outside the city, which undoubtedly meant that the Ministry of War wanted to cause trouble.

The Jingzhao Yinfu has been sending people to keep an eye on the Qinling Mountains.

Su Fu, who is now temporarily acting as the Jingzhao Yin, should be right in his judgment that these guys are planning to expand in the Qinling Mountains.

but.

Ye Chen was still somewhat confused.

If we want to expand, we must have enough manpower. The Lushang people have been wiped out by Lin Ziyun. Where do these guys get the manpower now?

Could it have been obtained from other places in Dayu?

Ye Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

In comparison, trafficking people from the capital to serve as labor is undoubtedly the easiest and most convenient way.

But if it is impossible to get people from the capital, it should be possible to get people from other places using the power of powerful officials, but it will be a little more troublesome.

It seems that these powerful officials have not been idle during this period.

Moreover, the value of the Qinling Mountains has not yet been fully developed by these powerful people.

otherwise.

The Beijing Camp will not continue to expand.

In other words, what other plans do these noble families have?

Ye Chen began to have doubts in his heart, always feeling that there was something fishy about this.

"Qiu'er, go talk to the Queen Mother. I'm afraid I'll have to go to the capital soon."

After thinking it over again and again, Ye Chen finally said to Shen Qiu.

In the palace, he still had no idea what the Beijing Army was doing. He could only find out by actually going out of the city to see.

"promise!"

"Also, send someone to tell Di Gui to get to the capital as quickly as possible."

Ye Chen gave another order.

If he wants to take action against the Beijing camp, he needs help.

"Yes!"

Shen Qiu retreated.

Ye Chen no longer had the heart to call his concubine. After waiting for a while, Cheng'en came to report.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you."

"I want to go to Kunning Palace!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly, then said to Cheng En.

Cheng'en quickly prepared the sedan chair, and Ye Chen took the sedan chair and went to Kunning Palace.

And in Kunning Palace.

Su Mengjiao sat upright on the main seat. In front of her were not only many bamboo slips but also stacks of paper.

This was allocated to the palace on Ye Chen's own initiative.

Nowadays, when ministers submitted memorials to the emperor, they would first copy them on paper before submitting them.

This undoubtedly greatly reduced Su Mengjiao's workload.

It also gave Su Mengjiao some free time, as she didn't have to be busy reviewing memorials while discussing with Ye Chen.

"Emperor, are you leaving the capital today?"

Su Mengjiao frowned slightly when she saw Ye Chen and asked.

"Empress Dowager, there are unusual movements in the Beijing camp outside the city. I must go and take a look."

Ye Chen nodded and said in a calm tone.

"Emperor, it's not safe outside the capital after all."

Su Mengjiao frowned, a look of clear worry on her face.

"Why don't you wait until General Di Gui brings all his troops here, so that we have the strength to fight against the Jing army, and then you can leave the city."

Su Mengjiao advised.

"Empress Dowager, if we really wait for Di Gui to bring his troops, will those powerful officials not react? Will those people in the Beijing camp not cover up?"

Ye Chen shook his head, thinking that Su Mengjiao was too naive.

He asked Di Gui to bring his troops over quickly, hoping to take the enemy by surprise.

If he waited until Di Gui brought his men and then went out of the city to look for evidence of the Jingying's crimes, the other party would be prepared and might set fire to the mountain. How would he find evidence then?

"this."

A gleam of light flashed in Su Mengjiao's beautiful eyes, but at this moment she realized that there was something wrong with her idea.

She finally sighed softly, but her eyes stared at Ye Chen with some complexity.

"Emperor, are you really leaving the capital this time just to investigate the matter of the Beijing Camp?"

Su Mengjiao suddenly asked.

"Why not? Queen Mother, if it weren't for investigating the matter of the Beijing camp, why would I risk my life?"

Ye Chen had a serious expression on his face, appearing to be righteous and awe-inspiring.

"But why do I feel that Your Majesty wants to see someone?"

There was clearly something wrong with Su Mengjiao's tone.

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Queen Dowager, you misunderstood. I am not someone who would sacrifice public service for personal gain."

Ye Chen did not completely deny it.

But he said he would definitely put business first.

"Humph!"

Su Mengjiao's face turned slightly cold, and at this moment, her noble, domineering, and peerless elegance had a hint of a young woman's flavor.

Then, she said to Ye Chen, "If Your Majesty insists on going outside the city, I can't stop you, but I will ask Shen Qiu to send more people to accompany you."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, then stood up and was about to leave.

"Emperor, do you have a solution for the food and fodder for those thousands of Di Gui soldiers?"

Su Mengjiao suddenly asked when she saw Ye Chen was about to leave.

"Empress Dowager, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, but I still don't have a clue. However, if we can resolve the issue with the Beijing Camp and take some of the grain from the Beijing Camp, it should be enough to feed Di Gui and his men."

Ye Chen said seriously.

Apart from drawing from the grain reserves of the Beijing camp, he could not think of a better way for the time being.

Even if he controlled the two major businesses of flour and paper, it would be impossible for him to produce food in a short period of time.

Hearing this, Su Mengjiao nodded slightly.

"Emperor, do as you wish."

"Row."

Ye Chen nodded, then stood up and walked out of Kunning Palace.

"The Queen Mother is different today. She's become more feminine."

Ye Chen thought secretly in his heart, but after walking out of Kunning Palace, he got on the sedan chair and hurried to Yangxin Palace.

I plan to change into casual clothes and then set off.

Dusk.

All the officials walked out of the imperial city.

Yang Dechang and Gao Yunhe walked in front of the officials.

But the two had just left the palace gate and had not yet gotten into the sedan chair.

A young eunuch suddenly walked past one of Gao Yunhe's followers, and the follower turned around and handed a piece of letter to Gao Yunhe.

"Prime Minister, news has come from Taiyuan that a large number of soldiers are gathering. These soldiers may be planning to cross the Yellow River."

Hearing this, Yang Dechang's expression changed slightly, and his sinister eyes narrowed immediately.
