Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

The first ray of sunlight in the early morning shines on the earth, making the originally snow-white world even brighter.

It's like wearing a suit of silver armor, shining in the sun.

There are three gates in the west wall of Chang'an City. The northernmost one is Kaiyuan Gate, which is generally used by merchants.

The middle one is the main gate, Jinguang Gate, and the southernmost one is Yanping Gate.

At this moment, the Yanping Gate, where many people should have been waiting to enter the city, was empty.

A luxurious carriage was parked in front of the gate, blocking most of it.

More than a hundred guards stood behind the carriage in complete silence.

None of the guards at Yanping Gate dared to step forward to drive it away, because the carriage belonged to the royal palace.

And Prince Ji Li Shen was in the car.

"Captain, should we report this to the higher-ups? Prince Ji is too overbearing. He actually drove all the people entering the city to the Jinguang Gate.

He also said that he had requisitioned this place. Isn't that too lawless?"

On the city wall, a guard spoke angrily to his general.

"Shh~~ Shut up, didn't the steward of Prince Ji's mansion just say that Prince Ji is sleeping in the carriage and no one is allowed to make any noise?

No one would be happy if they woke up His Royal Highness Prince Ji.

Don't transfer your troops to a cold and bitter place and cause trouble for me."

The captain lowered his voice and scolded, looking at the carriage under the city.

"But......"

Wu Wei wanted to say something, but when he saw the captain's sharp eyes, he swallowed his words back.

“I have already sent someone to inform the general. Since the general has not replied, it means that he does not want to offend King Ji.

We just need to guard the city gate.

Prince Ji has always been domineering, and colleagues from other sects have said so, so this is not surprising.

Hold on. "

The captain of the Wuwei was actually helpless. He was at least a general guarding the city gate, but Prince Ji was blocking the city gate so blatantly.

If it were someone else, the captain would have rushed forward and chopped him to pieces.

Even officials wouldn't dare to do so.

As the sky gradually brightened, many people who wanted to enter the city saw the situation in front of the city gate and tactfully went to other gates.

At this moment, a large number of people, horses and carriages appeared on the horizon.

The captain could see more clearly from the top of the city wall. It looked like a large-scale caravan.

As the team got closer, the captain could see clearly that it was a cavalry army.

"alert!"

The captain immediately gave the order. At this time, he saw the steward of Prince Ji's mansion riding over alone on horseback.

After joining the incoming team, the team stopped two miles away.

It turned out that this group of people were the ones King Ji was waiting for.

The captain hurried down the city wall and walked towards King Ji's carriage.

"Stop!"

A guard stepped forward to stop him.

"I am the captain of the city gate guards, and I want to see His Royal Highness Prince Ji."

The captain announced his identity and purpose.

"Wait." The guard ran back and after a while, a middle-aged Confucian scholar came over.

"I am the Chief Clerk of Prince Ji's Palace, Wang Xuance, please tell me what you want to say.

I will convey this to His Royal Highness Prince Ji."

Wang Xuance was not wearing official uniform, but casual clothes with a long cotton jacket.

“It turns out to be Wang Changshi. I am the captain guarding the Yanping Gate. I came here to speak to His Royal Highness Prince Ji.

If the team coming here is from Prince Ji's palace, please follow the rules and do not enter the city without an imperial decree.

I hope that Wang Changshi can tell King Ji that I am also following orders."

As he said this, the captain bowed. There was nothing he could do. A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. King Ji's reputation was too great and notorious.

"Don't worry, Captain. His Royal Highness Prince Ji has always been a law-abiding person and understands these rules. I will ask the soldiers to take off their armor and only escort the goods into Prince Ji's palace.

No one else will enter the city.”

Wang Xuance was also very polite. He was already very respectful. This was the gate of Chang'an City. He said he would book the whole place.

There is no oracle yet.

"That's great." The captain nodded, saluted and left.

When the captain came to the city wall again, he looked from afar and really saw some people in the distant team taking off their armor.

Soon, nearly a thousand carriages broke away from the team and headed towards the city gate.

The rest of the team turned south.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." Shitou called out calmly beside the carriage.

"Hmm...hmm?" The sound of Li Shenmeng's wet dream came from the carriage.

"Your Majesty, Shopkeeper Wang has arrived. You can enter the city now."

"Inform the others to return to the barracks and not to linger. Take all the prisoners back to the barracks and lock them up in the cave. I will go there after noon.

Wang Wencheng's family members were also detained and taken good care of.

Go home and sleep.”

Li Shen's weak voice came from the carriage, and after he finished speaking, the carriage fell into silence again.

Shitou immediately went to make arrangements.

The carriage from Prince Ji's mansion was also moved aside and waited.

The convoy soon approached, led by Wang Hongfu, Ashina Liang and Xue Rengui.

Seeing Prince Ji's carriage, the three of them hurried over to pay their respects.

Wang Xuance hurriedly went to meet him:

"You three have worked hard on the journey. The prince hasn't woken up yet. Don't disturb him. Let's talk about everything after returning home."

"Meet Mr. Wang."

"Meet Mr. Wang."

"What Chief Secretary Wang said is very true. The prince works day and night and got up so early today. We cannot disturb the prince."

Wang Hongfu nodded repeatedly.

"The three of you should hurry into the city. The prince knows that you must not have eaten yet, so he has ordered a banquet to welcome you."

Wang Xuance said to the three people with a smile.

The three men nodded, but did not go in first. Instead, they stood aside to let the carriage go in first. Xue Rengui also specifically whispered to the soldiers driving the carriage not to make any noise.

"Captain, what do you think is in these nearly 1,000-horse carriages?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. The general has just sent someone over to say that His Majesty has given instructions. There's no need to check. Just send someone to follow along the way.

Just go straight into Prince Ji’s Mansion.”

The captain was also puzzled. There were so many large carts, all sealed tightly, but the superiors said they didn't want to check them.

What if this is contraband? What should we do with the weapons?

Prince Ji is now too favored by the emperor.

"Everyone below guessed that it was probably all money."

"Money? Humph, that's all you care about.

One cart could only carry a little over 100 guan, and a thousand carts could only carry hundreds of thousands of guan.

These cars were obviously transported from the northwest. Do you think Prince Ji made such a big fuss just for a few hundred thousand strings of cash?"

The captain snorted with disdain. How could the soldiers below understand the thoughts of their superiors?

It's not a level at all.

For ordinary people, hundreds of thousands of strings of cash may not be spent in a lifetime, but for nobles, especially top nobles like King Ji,

In fact, it is nothing at all.

"Go down and arrange for someone to follow along the way and not to disturb them."

The captain gave the order.

Nearly a thousand horse-drawn carriages entered the city one after another. However, because the team was too long, it ran through half of Chang'an City from Yanping Gate.

Such a momentum naturally attracted a large number of people to watch.

The Jinwu Guards began to organize people to maintain order.

There was no other way. There was too much money, and Li Shen couldn't possibly leave it outside the city. That would be too unsafe.
