Looking in from the outside, the inside of the hall was completely dark. Only when Ye Chen truly stepped into the hall could he see the scene inside.
He saw that the Emperor was sitting on the dragon throne. The moment he saw the Emperor, Ye Chen couldn't help but become a bit absent-minded. He felt like the Emperor's eyes seemed to shoot out two rays of light as he looked in his direction.
But Ye Chen knew that the Emperor was not looking at him. He was looking at the sky outside, looking at the country he had conquered and looking down at the world that already belonged to him.
"What are you looking at? Let's go." The carriage driver realized that he couldn't hear Ye Chen's footsteps from the front and quickly turned back to look. He found that Ye Chen was staring at the Emperor in a daze, so he quickly reminded him in a small voice.
"Oh, oh." Ye Chen immediately reacted. Him looking at the Emperor like this was extremely disrespectful to the Emperor. If the Emperor wanted to pursue the matter, his head would have fallen off by now.
It was a good thing that the Emperor did not see Ye Chen. Or it could be said that the Emperor did not want to argue with Ye Chen.
Ye Chen slightly lowered his head. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that there was a bald monk in the hall. This monk's identity must be very special. Even though Ye Chen did not understand the ranks of monks, he could tell that the monk's kasaya was not normal.
Other than these two people, there was no one else in the hall. It was no wonder. It was already past noon. Unless the Emperor had something urgent to announce or a minister had something to report, there would not be any other officials here.
The carriage driver brought Ye Chen to a place about five or six meters away from the Emperor. He cupped his hands and bowed in the direction of the Emperor. Ye Chen did not understand and knelt down.
"Stand up." The carriage driver softly said to Ye Chen. Ye Chen blankly looked at the carriage driver and then raised his head to look at the Emperor. He did not think that the Emperor was also smiling at him.
Ye Chen's heart jumped and he did not dare to stand up. He kowtowed three times on the ground, "This commoner Ye Chen kowtows in salute to the Emperor."
"Get up." The Emperor's voice was very mellow. When Ye Chen heard it, he felt as if there were thousands of soldiers and horses galloping through his heart. With just this sentence, Ye Chen prostrated himself in admiration of the Emperor.
Ye Chen slowly stood up and looked at the coachman beside him in surprise. He was very curious as to why this ordinary coachman could enter the hall directly and not kneel when he saw the Emperor.
"Beloved subject, is this the folk demon slayer you mentioned?" After Ye Chen stood up, the Emperor first asked the people in the hall.
Ye Chen looked left and right, but he did not see anyone who looked like an official. After eliminating all the impossibilities, he suddenly had an answer in his mind.
This seemingly ordinary groom was actually an official by the emperor's side! And from the emperor's tone, this person's status wasn't low!
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is this person." The coachman answered the Emperor. His tone was neither servile nor overbearing, as if he was not talking to the Emperor at all.
"Good, good. Heroes indeed come from the youth. I did not expect that Ye Chen, at such a young age, could single-handedly kill the evil demons in Chang 'an. It is the Tang Empire's fortune to have such a heroic youth."
Ye Chen was flattered and almost knelt down again when he heard the Emperor's words. Fortunately, the "coachman" next to him saw Ye Chen's strange behavior and supported him, so he did not kneel down again.
"Ye Chen, there is no need to stand on ceremony. There are only four people in the hall, so there is no need for you to kneel." The Emperor's tone was not as dignified as before, so Ye Chen also relaxed a lot.
