The two set out on horseback and took off their disguises. The business travel team on the official road passed through Guazhou and all replaced their camels with horses. Since the security in the west of Guazhou was stable, the business travel team traveled day and night and no longer worried about robbers and bandits.

Chen Ziang bought a bottle of perfume from the caravan and gave it to Zhou Meier. Zhou Meier rubbed some on her face and asked, "Smell it, does it smell good?" Chen Ziang's face heated up and he said with a smile, "It's a north windy day, and I'm not a cat.

, where can I smell it?"

Zhou Meier chuckled and said: "Then why did you give me perfume?" Chen Ziang was stunned and couldn't answer. Zhou Meier said again: "Then leave it to sister. I wonder if that idiot Wei Da can't smell perfume either.

"Chen Zi'ang was speechless.

Zhou Meier smiled and said: "You two are just stupid, you have a thief's heart but not a thief's courage." These words made Chen Zi'ang very embarrassed. He coughed repeatedly and pretended not to hear.

Seeing more and more pedestrians in front of him, Chen Ziang said in a nonchalant voice: "Chang'an is coming soon, let's go to the post house to inquire about the government affairs." "Yes." Zhou Meier responded.

The outer city of Chang'an gradually appeared in front of us. The outer city was twenty miles long from east to west and seventeen miles wide from north to south. The size of the outer city alone was amazing. There were three gates on each side, only the one on the south.

Mingde Gate is a tower with five gates, and all other city gates have three gates.

The two entered Chang'an City from the Yanping Gate in the west. The neat streets were lined with shops and crowded with pedestrians. They walked slowly through this huge city, feeling deeply intoxicated. The two of them kept walking towards the chief minister in the northwest of the city.

Outside Shunyi Gate on the street, I found a post house.

Chen Zi'ang took out the official ID card that he had left to stay in the hotel, and asked the guard about the latest government news. Zhou Mei'er was waiting in the room for Chen Zi'ang to come back, but she saw him frowning.

"Brother, what happened in the court?" Zhou Mei'er asked. Chen Zi'ang said: "We'd better disguise ourselves and don't show our true colors." Zhou Mei'er smiled and said, "Then, I'll pretend to be your book boy." Then he started.

Disguise for two people.

In a moment, Zhou Mei'er had transformed into a book boy dressed in men's clothing. But seeing Chen Zi'ang still frowning, she took his hand and said, "Mei'er knows that something must have happened in the court."

Chen Ziang just said: "According to rumors, the emperor did not hold a memorial or canonization ceremony for General Cheng. Someone secretly reported to the emperor that Brother Cheng was involved in the Yangzhou rebellion." Zhou Meier said with wide eyes: "Then, the eldest brother asked for credit for General Cheng.

Isn’t it a memorial..."

"Yes, some people are using the topic as an excuse. They also said that General Cheng died in the battle because I did not bring troops to support in time." Chen Zi'ang lowered his head. Zhou Mei'er suddenly understood and said: "It's really a plan to kill two birds with one stone. It also damaged General Cheng's reputation.

, I hurt you again, brother!"

Chen Ziang sighed: "Yes, it's in vain that Brother Cheng designed me to assist the Queen. However, he was plotted by a villain in the court." Zhou Meier said: "Who could falsely accuse you two?" Chen Ziang shook his head and said: "Not yet.

Know."

Zhou Mei'er quickly put on a smile and said: "Since the Queen has not made the final decision, I still don't want to filter it. I think that although the Queen is a woman, she is very wise and will never misjudge the government's affairs." Chen Ziang nodded and said with a forced smile: "

I thought so too."

Zhou Meier said: "Brother, it's rare to come to Chang'an. We shouldn't stay in the post house, we should walk around." Chen Ziang nodded again.

The two of them left the inn and walked east along Zhuque Street on the south side of the Imperial City. The Hanguang Gate and Zhuque Gate opened majestically. There were Yulin troops standing guard in front of the gate, but they did not interfere with the ordinary people coming and going outside. Imperial City

It spans more than five miles from east to west. The tall palace walls seemed to be the Great Wall that protected the Tang Dynasty and showed the majesty of the imperial court.

The huge city of Chang'an, with soldiers, merchants, tourists from home and abroad, servants, and residents, most of the millions of people seemed calm and peaceful. Chen Zi'ang had never seen such grandeur before, and he couldn't help but forget his worries and sighed deeply.

When you reach the east side of the imperial city and turn south, you will find the East Market, the business district of Chang'an City, which echoes the West Market next to Buzheng Street and is home to merchants from all over the world. In the middle of the two cities, royal ministers live, and on both sides are ordinary people.

The residence is of the same size, with straight doors and alleys. Six or seven miles further south, the tall Big Wild Goose Pagoda stands impressively in the west courtyard of Ci'en Temple.

It was getting late, but Chen Zi'ang and Zhou Meier were out of their spirits and strolled into the temple. Ci'en Temple was built before Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty succeeded to the throne. His mother, Empress Wende, recommended the blessings of Ming Dynasty. They reported that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty expanded the temple of the previous dynasty into Da Ci'en.
