Chapter 720: Ziwei Palace (Second Watch)
"Back to Your Majesty, now Ziwei Palace has repaired nearly thirty percent of the palace.
Xuanwu City, Yaoyi City, and Yuanbi City have been repaired to seventy percent, but the progress of Los Angeles is slow.
Guyluo City is the core palace area of Ziwei Palace, including the big inside, the east and west cities, and the left and right cities, the palaces are dense, and it is difficult to repair.
If Ziwei Palace is restored to the scale of the Tang Dynasty, it may need three million guan. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Yu looked at Li Ye cautiously.
Three million guan, even if the imperial court has a good tax now, and take it out to repair Ziwei Palace in one go, I am afraid that there will be a lot of opposition.
"Don't be in a hurry, repair slowly, I don't plan to live in the Eastern Capital for a long time." Li Ye smiled slightly, although he was surprised by this number, but it was not to the point that he couldn't bear it.
Three million guan is not too big a problem for the imperial court or for the royal treasury.
But there is no need for him to be in such a hurry to restore Ziwei Palace to its original state, then there will be a lot of opposition.
Now that the imperial court spends 300,000 yuan a year to repair Ziwei Palace, it has already made the household department very opposed, if it suddenly takes 3 million, with Li Yu's personality, blocking the gate of Daming Palace, it will definitely happen.
"Duke Chu Guo, is the former site of the Qianyuan Palace in front?" After entering the Chengtian Gate, looking at a huge pedestal in front of him, Wei Zhaodu couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Yu nodded, "What Wei Shizhong said is right, it is the former site of the Qianyuan Palace. ”
Qianyuan Palace, when the Sui Dynasty established Ziwei Palace, it was the Qianyang Palace, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it was changed to the Qianyuan Palace, and the Ming Hall was built on the original site during the Wu Zetian period, and after Wu Zetian, it was changed back to the Qianyuan Palace.
However, after the Anshi Rebellion and the Huangchao Rebellion, its Qianyuan Hall was basically destroyed, and the Tang Dynasty had no intention of rebuilding, so now only one abutment can be seen.
There were ruins before, but after Xiao Yu was responsible for repairing Ziwei Palace, he sorted out the ruins and turned them into what they are today.
As for how to repair, Xiao Yu couldn't make the decision, and Li Ye didn't speak.
"Qianyuan Palace, Ming Hall, Pei Aiqing." Li Ye shouted behind him, and then Pei Rong hurriedly trotted over and saluted Li Ye slightly.
"The minister is here!"
"When I return to Chang'an, let the Ministry of Engineering select craftsmen who are proficient in construction and redesign the Qianyuan Palace. As for the requirements, they are tall and magnificent, which can show the majesty of my Datang. You can refer to the design of the Ming Hall, but it cannot be the same as the Ming Hall, as the main hall of Ziwei Palace, the style should be majestic and majestic, and safety should be considered. Li Ye commanded.
"Your Majesty, if it is according to the height of the Ming Hall, I am afraid it is not very safe and it is easy to be struck by lightning." Pei Rong hesitated.
"Don't worry about this, there is really a way to save the Qianyuan Hall from being struck by lightning." Thinking of the lightning rod, Li Ye felt that he could move out, otherwise he would have to forget it after waiting for a few years.
"Command!" Pei Rong bowed and replied.
"Your Majesty, isn't it a bit inappropriate to build the Qianyuan Hall now?" Wei Zhaodu said tentatively.
"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal. The most difficult repair of Ziwei Palace is the Qianyuan Palace, which consumes a lot. If it is according to His Majesty's request, I am afraid that the cost will have to rise.
Now that the four seas are not peaceful, can the construction of the Qianyuan Hall be postponed in the future? Xiao Yu also did not approve of starting the construction of the Qianyuan Hall now.
"I just asked the Ministry of Engineering to design first, and I didn't say that I want to build it now, are the two Aiqing worried too early?" Li Ye looked a little displeased.
Xiao Yu still wanted to persuade him again, Wei Zhaodu hurriedly stopped him, now that the saint finally came to Luoyang, if Xiao Yu annoyed the saint because of this matter, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
"Your Majesty's words are very true. The Qianyuan Hall will be built sooner or later, let the Ministry of Engineering prepare first, and if it really starts to be built later, it will not be busy. Pei Rong hurriedly agreed.
Seeing Pei Rong, Xiao Yu's face was a little unkind, but the other party was a privy envoy and an important minister in the court; And although he is still a national prince, he does not have much real power.
"Okay, let's not mention that. I'm in a good mood today, Xiao Aiqing still takes me to take a good look at this Ziwei Palace, speaking of which, it's the first time I've come. Li Ye diverted the topic, not wanting to argue with Xiao Yu and others on this matter.
"Your Majesty, please go this way!"
Before, Li Ye had only heard that the scale of Ziwei Palace was huge, but after really walking through it, he realized how big Ziwei Palace was.
Unlike Taiji Palace, Ziwei Palace is not in the middle of Luoyang, but lives in a corner of the city like Daming Palace. It's just that Daming Palace is in the northeast of Chang'an City, and Ziwei Palace is in the northwest of Luoyang City.
The reason why Ziwei Palace is located in the northwest corner of Luoyang City and not in the center is because the Luoyang Basin is high in the west and low in the east, and the central axis of Ziwei Palace is biased to the northwest because it is aligned with Yique;
Secondly, the Luohe River flows northeast to the west of the axis, and it is difficult to build a lifang, which is limited by natural factors, so that Ziwei Palace is in the northwest corner of the capital and cannot be centered.
Now the northwest corner of Luoyang City is the highest place in the city, and Ziwei Palace can be selected here to build a high tower and overlook the whole city, which is conducive to the defense of Ziwei Palace.

"Thorn History, Holy Decree!"
"What? What does the decree say? Quick, go ahead and get the order! ”
Shengzhou, Feng Hongduo, who was trapped in Shengzhou, planned to run to receive the decree as soon as he heard the holy decree.
"Thorn Shi, you... Yan Jian pointed to Feng Hongduo's clothes and hesitated, "Do you have to change your clothes to avoid being criticized for not respecting the saints?" ”
Feng Hongduo reacted immediately and clapped his hands, "Yes, this assassin almost forgot this." Let someone say to the father-in-law who passed the decree, and said that the assassin would take a bath, burn incense, and change clothes before receiving the decree. ”
"Yes!"
"Wait, the father-in-law who is good at entertaining the heralds, don't snub them!"
"Don't worry!"
After Feng Hongduo changed into a formal official robe, he came to the front hall and saw several eunuchs and forbidden army soldiers waiting in the front hall of the Assassin's Mansion. Except for one of the eunuchs at the head who sat there drinking tea, the others were standing and waiting.
Feng Hongduo looked at his body, brushed the folds on his clothes, and then quickly came to the hall and bowed to the eunuch who passed the decree.
"All the angels forgive your sins, I heard that there was a holy decree, Feng hurriedly went to burn incense and change clothes, so I neglected you, please forgive me."
The eunuch at the head glanced at Feng Hongduo, who had a good attitude, and then got up and took the holy decree from the hands of the subordinates next to him.
"Shengzhou Thorn Shi Feng Hongduo takes the order!"
"Minister Feng Hongduo takes the order!"
Feng Hongduo and his subordinates saluted one after another.
Feng Hongduo was naturally full of expectations for this holy decree, but at first he was confused, because the content of the holy decree was a bit excessive... It's too popular.
Is this a holy decree? How is it different from what he imagined?
However, after hearing the following content, Feng Hongduo suddenly became excited.
Gangnam Province Festival Envoy?
It was as if a huge pie had fallen from the sky and smashed it on his head.
