Under the "Lingxing Gate" of the imperial city, Li Luo, the queen and others stood on the horse and looked up. I saw the tall Xiao wall and the magnificent city tower, showing the domineering spirit of reaching thousands of miles and dominating the world.

Guarding the city gate is the elite of the elite: the Mongolian cowardly Xue Janissaries.

It stands to reason that when the queen of Goryeo arrives here, she will have to dismount anyway, and then she will be "registered and checked" before she can enter.

Li Luo was ready to dismount.

However, the queen did not dismount. Her retainers, the cavalry guards, all sat on their horses.

Then the queen raised her banner, which was embroidered with a golden phoenix.

The retainer Yin Hou immediately shouted:

"Standing at the foot of the city is the daughter of the Great Khan who married Goryeo, and it is your princess! Now, with full joy, she returns to the great Khan Bali to celebrate the birthday of her great father! Who is it that made you stand on the tower and look at your master?! ”

As soon as Yin Hou's words fell, the "Eight Thorns Hachi" (City Gate Guard) on the city tower also said loudly: "I, Brother Tamu Xi, saw an auspicious cloud floating, and I saw the noble princess!" If I don't open the gates, the whip of my master will fall on my head! ”

After the "Eight Thorns Hachi" named Tamuxi Ge finished speaking, he waved his hand, and soon a guard opened the city gate and let the princess enter on horseback. Not only her, but also the hundred horsemen behind her.

Li Luo didn't feel strange when he thought about it. The etiquette of the Mongolian aristocracy was much rougher than that of the Han Chinese.

The Mongols at this time had great self-confidence. Not to mention the noble princess, if the enemy wants to enter the city, they may all let them in. Besides, this "Eight Thorns Hachi" (city gate guard) obviously knows the princess.

Only when you enter this city gate can you enter the imperial city.

The Imperial City is not the Ouchi Imperial Palace, but includes three major architectural complexes: Ouchi (Heavenly Palace), Longfu Palace (East Palace), and Xingsheng Palace (Queen Mother's Palace).

True, only the emperor and empress lived in Ouchi. However, the queen mother and the concubine do not live in the inner house, they live in the completely independent "Xingsheng Palace". This is different from all the royal palaces of the past dynasties.

Li Luo followed the horse into the imperial city, and when he looked at it, his heart was indeed like this.

Unlike the imperial cities of previous dynasties, the three palace groups are not symmetrical on both sides with the main gate of the imperial city as the central axis. Instead, it is centered on the artificial lake Taiye Pond, and the three major building complexes surround the Taiye Pond, which fully embodies the Mongolian custom of "setting up a house by the water and living by the water and grass".

Between the huge complex of buildings, there are mountains, forests and lakes. The imperial palace of the Yuan Dynasty is a garden-style imperial city, and when it comes to gorgeous and wealthy, it far surpasses the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

On the east bank of Taiye Pond is the largest Tengu Castle (Ouchi). On the west bank of the Taiye Pond is the Prince's Longfu Palace and the Queen Mother's Xingsheng Palace.

And there is another island in the Taiye Pool, Qionghua Island. There is also a palace on the island, the Guanghan Palace.

Li Luo rode on a horse and galloped with his eyes, even within the high walls of this imperial city, there was a sense of vastness, which showed the great prohibition of this palace.

He saw the majestic and majestic palace attic, the lush and purple mountains and forests, the sparkling and turquoise lake, and the green grass and autumn flowers.

Between the Phoenix Pavilion Dragon Tower, the lake and the mountains, there are groups of palace ladies dressed in colorful clothes like smoke. The sound of bells, drums and harps resounded as if from the sky.

When Li Luo saw this scene, he was already short of words, only monotonous beauty, magnificent, beautiful, and unbeatable!

This is a palace designed by the top Arabic architect and Hadil-din. It took 18 years to employ 200,000 workers. You can imagine what it would look like.

Uncle Kublai Khan, you will enjoy it.

It's just that in less than ninety years, this beautiful first palace in the world was burned by Xu Da. Xu Da did not fall behind Xiang Yu's infamy of burning Ah Fang because this is the "Palace of Yidi".

The horse team of the queen of Goryeo marched unscrupulously in the imperial city, and the palace laves, eunuchs, and guards along the way saluted when they saw her flag and honor guard.

The queen went straight to the "Thick Gate" at the north gate of Ouchi. The thick gate is built with a high pavilion and a spiral staircase, which is called the flybridge stage. At this time, there were sixteen "Heavenly Demon Dancing Girls" singing and dancing on the rotating platform, performing the Heavenly Demon Dance of the Western Regions.

A female official dressed in Mongolian costume greeted the city gate and bowed to the queen of Goryeo and said, "The Great Khan knows that his favorite daughter has returned, so he welcomes her into the palace with a dance." Your Excellency, your Abu and Eji are waiting for their daughter in the Yanchun Pavilion. Slave, Turan ......"

Before the female official could finish speaking, the queen of Goryeo suddenly whipped her on her, "You are rambling like an old woman who has stolen a lamb, shut up." ”

After the queen of Goryeo finished speaking, she jumped off her horse and pointed to the three great ministers and Li Luo, "You come in with me." The other cavalry guards dismounted and sat cross-legged outside the gates.

When I arrived at the door of the Ouchi Miyagi Thick Gate, I finally had to check and interrogate. However, it was not the queen of Goryeo who was interrogated, but Li Luo and the other four.

Li Luo and the others untied their sabers from the "Eight Thorns Hachi" (city gate guards), and then followed into the Ouchi.

As soon as you enter Miyagi, the first thing that catches your eye is a large meadow.

According to the history, Kublai Khan once planted the green grass outside the fortress in front of the Great Inner Danqi, which was called "sworn frugal grass" to warn his descendants. But later monarchs ignored these grasses.

At the end of the big meadow, there is a magnificent palace, the high eaves reflect the blue sky of late autumn, and the autumn wind blows the wind chimes of the eaves, and the artistic conception is far-reaching and grand.

On the palace, there is a huge plaque, which reads: Daming Palace.

Li Luo knew that this Daming Hall was the first hall in the palace and the main hall. And it is not a single one, but a building complex, with a total of eleven Daming Palaces and seven Daming Gates......

So, the name of this royal palace is ...... Daming Palace.

Li Luo felt very ironic. Dayuan was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, but the palace of the Dayuan Emperor was called Daming Palace.

There is such a saying in history, why did the anti-Yuan refugees want to establish Mingjiao? Why did Zhu Yuanzhang call the country name Ming? Because they know that the name of the imperial palace of the Yuan Dynasty is "Daming".

Then they simply use "Da Ming" to indicate that they are the masters of the palace.

Of course, this statement is not credible. Li Luo just thought it was interesting.

Another paradoxical coincidence associated with this statement is the Qianqing Palace of the Ming Dynasty. And then...... Ming was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty.

Li Luo has never seen the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty, but the Daming Palace of the Yuan Dynasty has far surpassed the Forbidden City of later generations. Compared with this Daming Palace, the Forbidden City is too small, too short, and too earthy.

As far as the eye can see, there are palace laves, eunuchs, and cowardly Xue Jun's "Yundu Chi" (guards with knives) and "Huo'er Chi" (bow and arrow guards)

Bypassing the huge meadows and the Damyeong Palace, the queen of Goryeo walked straight to the Yeonchun Pavilion behind.

Yanchun Pavilion is the dormitory of the queen of the Yuan Dynasty, and the emperor usually comes to Yanchun Pavilion after handling political affairs in the Daming Palace.

Yanchun Pavilion is not a pavilion, but also a building complex, with seven dormitories and one hundred and seventy-two rooms. In addition, there are many small palaces in the back court.

The owner of the huge Yeonchun Pavilion is the biological mother of the queen of Goryeo and the queen of Daewon: Chabi.

Of course, there is a palace wall between Yanchun Pavilion and Daming Palace. This time, Li Luo and the other four couldn't get in anymore. Only the Queen of Goryeo was allowed to go in to see her father, the Queen Mother.

Li Luo knew that it was not so easy to meet Kublai Khan, so he really couldn't get in.

If it is so easy to see the "Great Yuan Son of Heaven", then it is not the Son of Heaven.
