Chapter 415 Comfort the Queen Mother!
Inside the Taiqian Palace.
"You don't have to worry so much, Queen Mother."
Although Ye Chen felt the situation was difficult, he couldn't help but comfort Su Mengjiao when he saw her at this moment.
At this moment, even in this difficult situation, Su Mengjiao still maintained her elegance and composure.
But the worry that covered her face like a dark cloud made Ye Chen feel a surge of pity in his heart.
Ye Chen's tone also became gentle, and he said softly: "Don't worry too much, Queen Mother. When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. I will definitely have a plan to deal with it.
As long as we can drive back those powerful families' private soldiers who have entered the capital, everything will be easy."
Ye Chen's face showed a determined look, and his eyes revealed confidence and courage.
He even gently held Su Mengjiao's hand, and his voice was like a spring breeze, warm and firm.
Su Mengjiao listened to Ye Chen's gentle and firm words, and the worries in her heart, which were like a tangled thread, suddenly eased a lot.
Looking at Ye Chen's confident look, she seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness.
She just felt that since the emperor was so confident, he must have a plan to deal with it.
As the empress dowager, she cannot afford to lose her composure.
Then, her eyes gradually became firm, and she nodded slightly at Ye Chen.
"Since the emperor has said so, I feel relieved."
After saying that, Su Mengjiao withdrew her hand, turned around gracefully, and slowly retreated.
Ye Chen held her hand, and she just thought that Ye Chen was comforting her and did not feel any dissatisfaction.
However, as soon as Su Mengjiao left, Ye Chen's expression immediately turned ugly.
The determination and confidence he had in front of Su Mengjiao just now disappeared in an instant.
His brows were furrowed, and there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
Although he appeared confident in front of Su Mengjiao, he was actually not completely sure.
He just didn't want Su Mengjiao to worry too much, so he pretended to be calm.
At this moment, without Su Mengjiao by his side, he no longer needed to hide.
Because even Yang Dechang himself would find it difficult to control the private soldiers of the powerful families who entered the capital.
These powerful families all have selfish motives, and it will not be easy to force them to withdraw if we don't get enough benefits.
Ye Chen recalled the history he knew, and there were many examples of rebel soldiers pouring into the capital to change dynasties or support puppet emperors!
The threat posed by these rebel soldiers is likely to exceed that posed by Yang Dechang, a powerful official.
Although Yang Dechang had great power in the government, he was still within a certain range of control.
However, these powerful families are like wild horses that have broken free from their reins, and are difficult to predict.
Ye Chen pursed his lips tightly, secretly calculating the chips in his hand.
At present, the most that the armed civilians can do is launch some ambushes and engage in some underground warfare. If they really fight head-on, they will simply be courting death, and the civilians may not be willing to do so.
Ye Chen knew very well that the people were willing to risk their lives to obey his command at this time because the light cavalry sent by Ding Wen, who were disguised as bandits, posed a real threat to them.
But if the people really go to the battlefield to fight the regular army, they would be seeking death.
However, he was also glad at this moment that he had established an intelligence organization, which allowed him to find out the movements of the Yanzhou and Bingzhou armies in the capital area at any time.
Moreover, Ye Chen felt that Chen Jian and Ding Wen would not confront Di Gui's 70,000-strong army head-on until they were completely confident of their situation.
After thinking about it, he felt that he should be able to use the chips in his hand to find a way to force back the private soldiers of the powerful families.
But his heart was still full of uncertainty.
This was the first time Ye Chen had experienced such an uncertain situation.
All he could do at this moment was just as he had said to Su Mengjiao before: when the enemy comes, we will fight them with our troops; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.
"After forcing the private soldiers of the powerful families in the capital area to leave, we must eliminate all of them in the future."
Ye Chen made up his mind secretly.
These private soldiers of the powerful families are like poisonous snakes hiding in the dark, which may pose a fatal threat to his rule at any time.
Only by completely eliminating these private soldiers can he truly stabilize his country.
"Cheng En."
"The old slave is here."
"I'm going back to Yangxin Palace. Also, after an hour, go inform the Queen Mother and tell her that I'm leaving the palace tomorrow!"
After much deliberation, Ye Chen finally decided to go and see it in person.
He had to at least understand the quality of the Yanzhou soldiers before he could make the most appropriate response.
Moreover, sometimes there would be a delay when the decisions he made in the capital were transmitted outside the capital, but if he made decisions outside, there would not be these problems.
Moreover, compared to Di Gui, Ye Chen, with his knowledge from later generations, believed that he could better see through the trust and information that Latin and Chen Jian were trying to conceal.
In short, Ye Chen felt that he must take the initiative to look for a way outside the capital to force the private soldiers of the powerful families to retreat!
"promise!"
Cheng'en retreated immediately.
