"Master, we are about to enter the imperial city. Please prepare yourself, the emperor is waiting in the palace." The driver suddenly gave a reminder, and Ye Chen wisely lowered the curtain on the car window.

Ye Chen knew that the driver meant to stop observing, because when he entered the imperial city immediately, many royal secrets would naturally be revealed, and Ye Chen was not qualified to see those yet.

Sitting in the car bored, Ye Chen began to imagine the appearance of the emperor. It is said that the emperor is handsome, and can fight well. He will also be a bright emperor in the future.

Moreover, the identities of the courtiers around him are also very special. Take Wei Zheng as an example. One of his most famous folk legends is the dragon king who killed the Jing River in his dream.

It is said that this Wei Zheng is the reincarnation of Wenqu Xingjun, and his status in the sky is also very high.

And the Dragon King of the Jinghe River had nothing to do with Wei Zheng, but the Dragon King cheated in the gambling contract with Yuan Shoucheng in order to drive Yuan Shoucheng, the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, out of Chang'an, thus violating the law of heaven.

After the Dragon King violated the rules of heaven, he came to Emperor Taizong to ask for help. Emperor Taizong agreed to the Dragon King's prayer and dragged Wei Zheng with a game of chess. He never thought that Wei Zheng would kill the Dragon King in a dream.

It is said that this incident happened some time ago, but even if it happened not long ago, it was still rumored in Chang'an City, and Wei Zheng also became a capable person in the eyes of the common people.

Speaking of which, the Dragon King is also pitiful. He was lured by Yuan Shoucheng to make a bet.

In the final analysis, this Guanyin Bodhisattva actually set up such a gambling game in order to facilitate Tang Seng’s study of scriptures. In this way, after a series of events, there was a strange experience of the three-day trip to the underworld of the Tang Dynasty.

After returning from the underworld, King Tang had no choice but to ask for help from Buddhism. Only in this way did he meet Xuanzang, which led to his later journey to the west to study Buddhist scriptures.

"Master, we have already arrived in front of the palace. Horses and carriages are prohibited in the palace city, so please get off the carriage." Ye Chen was thinking about the cause and effect of the westbound trip when he suddenly heard the words of the coachman from outside the carriage.

"Oh, good." Ye Chen stopped what he was thinking about, got off the carriage, and the coachman handed the reins of the carriage to a guard guarding the city, and then took Ye Chen to the palace.

As soon as Ye Chen got off the carriage, he saw the huge city gate ahead. In front of this city gate, his figure was very small, which also showed the majesty of the royal family.

After entering the city gate, a magnificent palace appeared in front of Ye Chen.

"Young Master, in front of you is the Taiji Palace where the emperor is discussing affairs. The emperor is waiting in the palace at the moment, please come with me." The driver's footsteps were a little slower, and he introduced Ye Chen to the palace.

"Okay." Ye Chen followed the coachman to the outside of the hall. The coachman motioned to Ye Chen to wait outside the hall. He went to report to the emperor. After a while, the coachman came out of the hall.

"Young master, please come in." The driver said, making a "please" gesture, and Ye Chen cautiously stepped into the palace.

Chapter 1354 Audience

Looking in from the outside, it was dark inside the hall. Only when he really stepped into the hall could Ye Chen clearly see the scene in the hall.

He saw the emperor sitting on the dragon chair. The moment he saw the emperor, Ye Chen couldn't help but lose his mind. He felt that his eyes seemed to shoot two rays of light, looking in his direction.

But Ye Chen knew that the emperor didn't look at himself, but looked at the sky outside, looked at the mountains and rivers he had shot down, and looked down on his world.

"What are you looking at, let's go." The driver found that he couldn't hear Ye Chen's footsteps in front of him. He quickly looked back and found that Ye Chen was staring at the emperor in a trance, so he quickly reminded him in a low voice.

"Oh, oh." Ye Chen reacted immediately. It was extremely disrespectful to the emperor when he looked at the emperor like this. If the emperor wanted to pursue it, he might have lost his head now.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't see Ye Chen, or the emperor just didn't want to bother with Ye Chen at all.

Ye Chen lowered his head slightly, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a bald-headed monk in the hall. This monk's identity must be very special. Although Ye Chen didn't understand the hierarchy of monks, the cassock on this monk's body was unusual at first glance.

Apart from these two people, there are no other people in the hall. It is no wonder that it is noon now. Unless the emperor has an urgent matter to announce or a minister wants to report something, there will be no other officials here.

The driver took Ye Chen to about five or six meters in front of the emperor. He clasped his fists with both hands and bowed in the direction of the emperor, while Ye Chen knelt down for unknown reasons.

"Stand up." The coachman said softly beside Ye Chen, Ye Chen glanced at the coachman blankly, then looked up at the emperor, but he didn't expect the emperor to be looking at him with a smile.

Ye Chen was startled, and he didn't dare to get up. He kowtowed three times on the ground "bang bang bang", "Grassman Ye Chen kowtowed to the emperor."

"Get up." The emperor's voice was very mellow, and Ye Chen only felt that there were thousands of troops galloping past in his heart. With just these words, Ye Chen fell to the ground in his heart.

Ye Chen stood up slowly and looked at the coachman beside him in surprise. He was very curious why this ordinary coachman could enter the hall directly, and he didn't need to kneel when he saw the emperor.

"Aiqing, this is what you call the folk killing monsters and strange people?" After Ye Chen stood up, the emperor first asked the people in the hall.

Ye Chen looked left and right, but did not see anyone who looked like an official. After eliminating all the impossible, he suddenly had an answer in his heart.

This seemingly ordinary groom turned out to be an official beside the emperor!And listening to the emperor's tone, this person's identity is not low!

"Report to the emperor, it is this person." The groom replied to the emperor. His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and it did not seem like he was talking to the emperor at all.

"Okay, okay, as expected, a hero comes out of a boy. I didn't expect that Ye Chen would be able to kill the evil monsters in Chang'an City by himself at a young age. To have such a heroic boy is really a blessing of the Tang Dynasty."

Ye Chen was so flattered that he almost knelt down again when he heard the emperor's words. Fortunately, the "groom" next to him saw Ye Chen's strangeness and held him up, so he didn't kneel again.

"Ye Chen, you don't need to bow, there are only four people in this hall, you don't need to kneel." The emperor's tone lost its previous majesty, and Ye Chen also relaxed a lot.

Chapter 1355 Request

"Yes, the grass people thanked Long En." Ye Chen bowed deeply to show his respect to the emperor. The emperor did not speak, so Ye Chen had to stand up slowly.

"Aiqing, the monsters in Chang'an City have been the one to blame. It must have been a while, right?" The emperor did not ask Ye Chen first, but asked the "groom" beside Ye Chen.

"Reporting to the emperor, it has indeed been a long time. It has been more than half a month since the first case of missing persons. These two monsters are indeed two serious problems."

"Fortunately, this little brother named Ye Chen stepped forward and subdued the two demons. Now Chang'an City has returned to its former calm, and the people are no longer in danger."

"Well, yes, Ye Chen, you have done a good job in killing demons. I don't know what rewards you want? Whether it is a hundred acres of fertile land, a thousand taels of gold, or an increase of officials and nobility, I can satisfy you."

"Caomin... Caomin has only one request." Ye Chen clasped his fists in both hands, looked down at the ground, and whispered to the emperor.

"Let's hear it?" The emperor looked at Ye Chen, not knowing what kind of request the young man wanted to make, it was very embarrassing to hear Ye Chen's tone, which made the emperor a little curious.

"Caomin just wants to travel west with Master Xuanzang and get the scriptures." Ye Chen said firmly.

After Ye Chen finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell into silence, the emperor did not speak, the "groom" beside Ye Chen did not speak, and even the monk in the hall did not move.

Ye Chen's heart sank slowly, and now a second seemed to him to be extremely long. He felt the emperor was looking at him, and the sweat on his forehead couldn't help coming out.
