The waist card is clearly written "Recruiting Talents".

So Lan Ziyi and the four brothers of the Tao family drove their horses to the east of the palace to recruit people.

When I saw the tall granite walls of Miyagi, the moon was already hanging on the branches,

A moat was dug outside the palace city, and the water of the onion river was injected, which was called "the royal ditch".

Willow is planted on both sides of the ditch, tall and towering, now the green buds are new in early spring, swaying with the wind, so not spectacular!

After passing through the boulevard under the willow trees, you can see the magnificent "Zhaoxian Gate".

The palace wall of Taicheng is tall, and Lan Ziyi originally thought that the city gate tower would be built into the sky.

It wasn't until I saw the Zhaoxian Gate that I found that the gatehouse was very low.

Although it is low, it does not detract from the tall and imposing of the city walls.

On the contrary, the low gatehouse seems to stretch the width of the city gate, and the empty bluestone clearing outside the gate is unusually wide, and even makes people feel that they can't see the end at a glance.

People stand outside the ditch and look at the stone road that extends from the palace gate, and the five white marble stone bridges outside the stone road are gradually spread out like a fan, as if they want to incorporate the universe outside the gate into the door, and make people feel that the supreme majesty in the palace city, power and endless strong oppressive force are radiating from here and pouring into the capital.

Lan Ziyi looked at Zhaoxianmen, he was already distracted, and unconsciously drove the horse to walk on the bridge.

Seeing this, the guard standing at the head of the bridge took his spear and raised it, and shouted:

"Bold! Dare to trespass on the palace gate! ”

Lan Ziyi came back to his senses by this roar, and the Tao brothers behind him didn't dare to act rashly, staring nervously at Lan Ziyi in front of him.

Lan Ziyi stretched out his hand to his waist and said while taking the waist card:

"Brothers, don't be nervous, I am Weiting Hou Lan Ziyi, and I was invited by the Admiral Taicheng Yu Gonggong to pay a visit, and I have no intention of offending you."

At this time, the guards had already surrounded Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers, and the spearhead with a cold light was directly against Lan Ziyi and them.

Seeing that Lan Ziyi had a waist card, he was dragged away by a guard before he could take it off.

The waist cards on the body of the Tao brothers in the back were also taken off one by one,

Several guards said one after another:

"It's a palace waist card."

At this time, a man who looked like a flag officer came over and said:

"Put the guy away! Father-in-law Yu has instructed me to wait for the guard. ”

Hearing this, the guards put away their spears and returned to their respective posts, and a few others stood there waiting for the flag officer to arrange.

Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers dismounted one after another, clasped their fists and saluted the flag officer, and the flag officer returned the salute at the same time:

"Wei Hou was frightened."

Lan Ziyi said:

"It's okay, it's okay. For a while, I only cared about enjoying the scenery of Miyagi, and forgot about the soldiers around me. ”

Flag Officer Says:

"When Wei Hou first came to the capital, he didn't know that the rules set by Emperor Gaozu were not allowed to ride horses on both sides of the imperial ditch, and those who dared to ride on the imperial bridge without the emperor's permission were punished for rebellion and wanted to be killed."

Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers were shocked when they heard this,

The flag officer went on to say:

"But Wei Hou rest assured, the ban is just Emperor Gaozu's words, the palace covers such a large area, if you don't ride a horse outside the imperial ditch, you have to go to the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon, and no one will take care of this matter. It's just that now the sun has set, the palace gate has been closed, and there is a bit of a problem with Wei Hou driving your horse to the imperial bridge. But don't worry, it's not a big problem, you didn't break through the palace gate, you just don't know, it doesn't matter, Weihou, you and your entourage just hand over the horse to me, you hurry up and enter through the small door next to it, Grandpa Yu has been waiting for a long time. “

As he spoke, he handed the waist card back to Lan Ziyi and the four of them, and beckoned a guard next to him to lead the four of them to a side gate under the city gate.

Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers naturally thanked the flag officer, and then followed the guards to the side door.

After entering the side door, a eunuch was already waiting there with a lantern, and said:

"Wei Hou, please come with me." So saying, he walked forward.

Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers followed the eunuch and walked through the palace.

Within the tall marble walls of Miyagi, there are various high walls that divide Miyagi into different areas.

These palace walls are also painted vermilion and covered with glazed tiles, and although they are much lower than the palace walls, they are still tall,

Walking in the aisle between the walls, only the lantern in your hand and the bluestone palace lamp every few steps can be illuminated.

Although it is known that Miyagi is vast, the division of the high walls exaggerates the area of Miyagi many times, making people who walk through it think that it is much larger than it actually is.

The buildings of Miyagi were built in strict accordance with the ceremonial traditions and the emperor's hobbies, and they look like copies of the same style.

Behind each wall, behind each door is a separate world, an independent replica, but each replica has its own unique and distinctive characteristics

Each of the individual worlds is connected by doors and aisles, and together they form a larger universe.

Repetitive but not simple and completely repetitive, complex but not chaotic and complex,

Everything is centered on several halls arranged on the central axis, constantly unfolding, developing, and creating, and finally forming a new, huge, and infinite group.

Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers walked between the corridors of the red wall, their hearts were full of suppressed and shocked feelings, although they did not see the emperor, but the majesty of the emperor seemed to be as indestructible as the granite palace wall, unquestionable.

Lan Ziyi was led by his father-in-law to a palace on the east side of the palace, although there was no special sign at the door, but it can be seen from the soldiers who shuttled back and forth that this is the core of the palace guard.

Just enter the hall and see a statue of Yue Fei, like the incense burner and the fire, the worship is endless.

After the eunuch led Lan Ziyi and them into the hall, he bowed slightly, and then said:

"Marquis Wei, please wait a moment and take me in to inform Father-in-law Yu."

As he spoke, he walked into the back.

Lan Ziyi looked at Yue Fei's statue, looked back at the Tao family brothers, and asked:

"Do you know what the rules of Liyue Fei are?"

The Tao brothers looked at each other and had no idea.

桃淚虎 says:

"I've only heard of the army killing three animals before the expedition, sacrificing to the martial temple, and I've also heard of sacrificing Chiyou. I really haven't heard of Yue Fei. “

Tao Zhulu said:

"Is it a local custom in Jiangnan?"

Peach Tiger shook his head:

"Local customs moved to the palace? Is there a precedent for this? “

Tao Zhutu said in a smooth tone:

"Is this group of eunuchs playing by themselves?"

At this time, a familiar voice came from behind the hall, answering the question of Tao Zhutu

Momozaburo was half right. This statue of Yue Wumu is indeed erected by our group of eunuchs, and we are worshipping, but it is not for fun, but to learn the spirit of Yue Wumu to serve the country with loyalty, to be loyal to the emperor, and to serve Dazheng! “

Hearing this voice, Lan Ziyi's heart trembled, and the words "Yu Gonggong" flashed,

The peach rabbit who asked the question just now was even weaker and knelt on the ground.

Father-in-law Yu has supervised the army for more than 20 years and supervised the Northern Army for the longest time. His style of work is ruthless, killing people like hemp, for the soldiers who have violated the military law, the deserters who have escaped from the battle or the prisoners who need to be interrogated and need to interrogate the prisoners, peeling faces, gouging out eyes, taking the heart and liver alive, etc., can think of unexpected means to use on people, and often do it themselves and take pleasure in it, although the military households in Beizhen are famous for their courage and good fighting, but when they hear the name of the fish father-in-law, they are like losing their hearts, and the three-year-old children will be frightened to stop crying.

Tao Zhutu asked this rather funny question, and was personally heard by the fish father-in-law, and the fright can be imagined.

Father-in-law Yu walked out around Yue Fei with his hands behind his back, with a customary sneer on his face.

When the peach chased the tiger and the peach chased the deer, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed:

"Father-in-law, you have a lot of adults, my third brother is young and ignorant, please spare him! If you want to punish me, as a brother, I have no way to teach, you can punish me! “

Lan Ziyi also quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying:

"Father-in-law, my third brother has always been witty, and he is used to joking, no big or small, father-in-law, don't take it to heart."

The peach chasing rabbit in the back is even more kowtowing like pounding garlic, and after a while, the scalp is broken and the blood is flowing, and the words can't be spoken.

Father-in-law Yu didn't care about the four people, took three sticks of incense, lit them and bowed three times to the statue of Yue Fei, inserted them into the incense burner in a dignified manner, and then turned around and stood aside, saying:

"Kowtow to me? You should kowtow to this. “

Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers rushed over to offer incense when they heard this, and Tao Zhutu walked forward on his knees, kowtowing all the way from the door to the incense in front of the statue.

After the four of them finished the incense, Gonggong Yu looked at Yue Fei and said slowly:

"When Gaozu Longxing was in the southern miasma, he fought in all directions, cut off tyranny, pacified the four seas, and arranged his own pro-army to guard the palace after the founding of the country. Since Gaozu, successive emperors have sent palace guards to go out to investigate and deal with the situation in order to supervise the ministers, check the people's situation, and control the world, and also build the "Grievance Washing Temple" outside the Xuanwu Gate in the north to detain all kinds of prisoners who have been arrested. The emperor found that the servants around him, the pro-soldiers, were much more comfortable than the sanctimonious hypocrites in the outer court, and then slowly the pro-army of the palace city became the Taicheng guard, and the eunuch under the command became the 'eunuch of the Imperial City Military Academy, the governor of Qincha'. And the institutions of this castle guard are all over Taisho, inspecting the world for the emperor, but the job of guarding Miyagi has become less important. Now patrol inside and outside the palace, the four gates are guarded, the emperor's travel honor guard is the guard of my Taicheng city, the emperor's personal guard, and the security of the palace is under the control of the inner guard. “

After saying this, the father-in-law looked back at the four brothers who were still kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile:

"Get up, what are you doing on your knees? I'm too old to see you little characters suffering. “

As he spoke, he raised his hand and motioned for the four of them to get up,

Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers were naturally grateful, and Tao Zhutu was so frightened that his legs were out of strength, and he stood up with the help of Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu, and Tao Zhuhu still said in his ear:

"I'll tell you to talk nonsense later!"

玉公公 says:

"Alas, old and soft-hearted. If I hadn't entered the palace to serve the emperor, my grandson would have been so old now. Momozaburo, if you put aside my youthful temper, you can bear it today! “

When Tao Zhutu heard this, he was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees again.

Lan Ziyi smiled on the side:

"My father-in-law has always had the virtue of a good life, where he will punish people casually, my father-in-law will stop scaring the third brother."

Father-in-law Yu looked at Lan Ziyi and laughed:

"Today I invited Wei Hou, of course I want to give Wei Hou face. It's just that someone entertained Wei Hou before me when he first entered the capital, and Wei Hou didn't leave this opportunity to the old man! “

As he spoke, he walked into the backyard.

Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers were sweating in their heads, and they exchanged glances with each other and followed silently.
