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

Chapter 286: The Convener and the Powerful Official’s Response!

After arranging all the wounded.

Ye Chen got back on the carriage and headed towards the palace.

At this time, many people around the Supervisory Office were looking sideways. The bloodstains on the streets had not dried up yet. Many people only dared to look from afar and did not dare to get close.

Shops on both sides of the street also closed.

Ye Chen felt somewhat helpless.

Such a big commotion made him pay attention to the army controlled by Cao Chang again.

If every border troop on Dayu's southern frontier were the same as the private soldiers led by Cao Chang, then the combat effectiveness of this army would be really terrifying.

"Qiu'er, send someone to the south to investigate and see what position Cao Chang's soldiers hold within the southern border army. Also, send someone to capture Cao Chang immediately!"

Ye Chen's face was quite gloomy, and then he said in a very domineering tone.

In this battle, nearly a hundred runners from the Supervisory Office died, and dozens of imperial guards also died. Most of the runners from the Supervisory Office were capable people from the martial arts world, and they could not be recruited easily.

Ye Chen felt a little regretful. After all, he was too ambitious and wanted to wipe out all of Cao Chang's private soldiers and the powerful official's subordinates.

Otherwise, if the people from the Supervisory Office had been transferred earlier, there would not have been such a huge loss.

But it is useless to regret now. Ye Chen has to get back at Cao Chang. The hundreds of people who attacked the Supervisory Office this time were all Cao Chang's private soldiers. With such a large number, as long as the number of soldiers Cao Chang brought is compared, Cao Chang will have no excuse.

This is enough to convict Cao Chang!

"Yes!"

Shen Qiu immediately lifted the door curtain and conveyed the order.

However, the imperial guards who went to capture Cao Chang returned quickly.

"Your Majesty, there is only one servant in Cao Chang's mansion who is very similar in size to Cao Chang. Cao Chang himself quietly left the city at dusk yesterday."

Shen Qiu said to Ye Chen with a cold expression.

Hearing this, Ye Chen immediately asked angrily: "How did he leave?"

A great general came to the capital and left without even saying hello?

"It was the Secretariat that issued the order, asking him to head south immediately."

Shen Qiu's face darkened slightly as he said, "It is said that when he left with his private soldiers, they also entered the capital in disguise."

"The City Defense Military Department noticed a large number of private soldiers entering the capital, but they didn't notice that Cao Chang was also heading south with a small number of troops."

Shen Qiu bit his lip, feeling that Cao Chang was too cunning. He had a very good grasp of the timing and left without anyone noticing.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

The muscles on Ye Chen's face were tense and he was very angry.

Cao Chang slipped away so quickly that Ye Chen had no way to cause trouble for him.

Ye Chen hasn't felt this kind of humiliation for a long time.

Sure enough, these provincial governors who hold heavy troops and the treacherous ministers and eunuchs who hold great power are all not easy to deal with.

"After I return to the palace, summon all officials to the Taiqian Palace!"

Ye Chen said to Shen Qiu.

"promise!"

Although Shen Qiu didn't know what Ye Chen was going to do, when she saw Ye Chen's dark face, she knew that Ye Chen was really angry.

She was also very angry for Ye Chen, and felt a little strange. Since when did the emperor's mood affect her mood?

Following Ye Chen's order, the news quickly reached the Secretariat.

Yang Dechang, who was handling government affairs, immediately gave Gao Yunhe beside him a look when he received the news. The two of them then stood up and walked towards Taiqian Hall together.

When the other ministers saw the two walking together, they automatically slowed down and kept a distance from them.

"Cao Chang's soldiers did a pretty good job, since they were able to cause such great damage. However, the little emperor's reaction was faster than we expected. Cao Chang's soldiers were ultimately unsuccessful."

Yang Dechang shook his head, his tone sounding somewhat emotional.

Although Cao Chang was not present at the scene of the operation last night, he had made all necessary preparations.

Whether it is scheduling, strategy, or tactics, it is impeccable.

But even so, the final result is still not ideal.

"Prime Minister Yang, no matter what, the Supervisory Office should be abolished. I heard that the casualties alone have reached over 300 people, and most of those injured are seriously injured. They are definitely beyond saving."

Gao Yunhe had a smile on his face. No matter what the result was, this was the only time they had the advantage when playing against the little emperor.

Ye Chen suffered a great loss.

This made Gao Yunhe very excited. After all, he and Yang Dechang had suffered many setbacks since Ye Chen became smart.

Now, he feels proud.

"Oh, but Cao Chang is really good at training soldiers. I don't have many men as elite as his private soldiers."

"But I don't know if the private soldiers trained by those noble families are all like this."

Yang Dechang gradually narrowed his eyes.

Although he always thought that even if he delegated power and allowed those aristocratic families to recruit soldiers, as long as he could control the money, food and military pay of these soldiers, there would be no need to worry too much.

In his heart, he looked down upon these warriors.

But now, he has put away some of his contempt for these warriors.

"Prime Minister, Duke Fuguo is, after all, a general on the frontier. He has long commanded an army of 100,000 and has been stationed at the border. His ability to train troops is undoubtedly second to none in Dayu, and cannot be matched by anyone from another aristocratic family."

Gao Yunhe said on the side

"Ah."

Yang Dechang nodded slightly, thinking it made sense. He then said to Gao Yunhe, "Anyway, the young emperor will probably summon us after he returns to the palace. Let's spread the word and say we'll all speak with one voice, saying this incident has nothing to do with the Duke of Fuguo and was done by bandits."

"Humph, this time, I will never let the little emperor take advantage of this situation."

"Yes!"
