The carriage drove slowly in Chang 'an City. The coachman seemed to slow the horse down on purpose so that Ye Chen could see the scenery of Chang' an City clearly.
Ye Chen looked at the scenery outside through the window. Chang 'an City was indeed the capital. Ye Chen had never expected that it would be so prosperous.
As they got closer to the imperial city, the number of peddlers and pedestrians did not decrease as Ye Chen had expected. Instead, there were more and more of them.
"Young Master, we're about to enter the Imperial City. Please get ready. His Majesty is waiting for you in the palace." The coachman suddenly reminded him. Ye Chen tactfully lowered the curtain on the window.
Ye Chen knew that the coachman wanted him to stop observing. Because they were about to enter the imperial city, many secrets of the royal family would be revealed. Ye Chen was not qualified to see them now.
Sitting in the carriage, Ye Chen, who was bored to death, began to imagine the Emperor's appearance. It was said that the Emperor was handsome and good at war. He would be a wise emperor in the future.
Moreover, the officials around him were also very special. Take Wei Zheng as an example. His most famous folklore was that he killed Jinghe Dragon King in his dream.
It was said that Wei Zheng was the reincarnation of Civil Star and had a very high status in heaven. He came down to the mortal world to assist Emperor Taizong in building the foundation of the Tang Empire.
As for Jinghe Dragon King, he originally had nothing to do with Wei Zheng. However, in order to chase Guanyin Bodhisattva's incarnation, Yuan Shoucheng, out of Chang 'an, the Dragon King actually cheated in a bet with Yuan Shoucheng, thus violating the heavenly rules.
After violating the law of heaven, the Dragon King came to Emperor Taizong for help. Emperor Taizong agreed to the Dragon King's request and stalled Wei Zheng with a chess game. Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng killed the Dragon King in his dream.
It was said that this happened some time ago. But even so, it still caused a stir in Chang 'an City. Because of this, Wei Zheng became a capable man in the eyes of the people.
Speaking of which, the Dragon King was also pitiful. He had been lured by Yuan Shoucheng to make a bet. He had thought that it would be an ordinary bet, but he had not expected to end up like this.
At the end of the day, Avalokitesvara actually set up such a bet in order to facilitate Tang Seng's journey to the underworld. In this way, after a series of events, there was the strange experience of King Tang's three-day tour in the underworld.
After returning from the underworld, King Tang was distracted and had to seek help from Buddhism. That was how he met Xuanzang, which led to his journey to the west to obtain the scriptures.
Ye Chen was thinking about the cause and effect of the journey to the west when he suddenly heard the coachman's voice from outside the carriage. "Young Master, we have already arrived at the Imperial Palace. Carriages and horses are prohibited in the Imperial City. Would Young Master please get off the carriage?"
"Oh, okay." Ye Chen stopped thinking and got off the carriage. The coachman handed the reins of the carriage to a guard and then led Ye Chen to the Imperial Palace.
Ye Chen had just gotten off the carriage when he saw the huge city gate in front of him. In front of the city gate, his figure was very small, which also showed the majesty of the imperial family.
After entering the city gate, a magnificent palace appeared in front of Ye Chen.
"Young Master, in front of us is the Taiji Palace where the Emperor holds court. The Emperor is waiting in the palace at this moment. Please follow me, Young Master." The coachman's footsteps slowed down slightly as he introduced the palace to Ye Chen.
"Okay." Ye Chen followed the coachman to the main hall. The coachman motioned for Ye Chen to wait outside the hall while he reported to the Emperor. After a while, the coachman came out of the main hall.
"Young Master, please come in." The coachman said and made a "please" gesture. Ye Chen carefully stepped into the palace.
