During the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, the dormitories of the central institutions were also built within the first palace wall (the latest chapters from the financial crisis to the world wars). After the Southern Dynasty, no minister had to settle his home within the first palace wall, otherwise, it would be too inconvenient to act.

The second palace wall is equipped with the central government office. The province of the court monk is on the east side, and there is a door to the south leading out of the palace. On the west side, there is the Imperial Governor's Office and the Imperial Library. The place where the princes lived should also be here, but it is located in the northwest and is called Yongfu Palace. However, the royal family of Great Qi Ding Zuo is thin, and now he has to be empty. Within the second palace wall, that is, to the northeast of the imperial city, there is the Queen Mother's Palace. But Xiao Ying is not an adult, and the Queen Mother's Palace is idle. Huang Jiao lives in the inner palace all year round.

In addition, Hualin Garden (Inner Garden, that is, the Imperial Garden, which is often referred to as the Imperial Garden), is also within the second palace wall, but it is relatively independent (read the full text of the wrong bed on the Xianggong). Hualin Garden covers a wide area, occupying almost the north side of the entire imperial city, bordering the Empress Dowager Palace in the east, Yongfu Palace in the west, and the Inner Palace in the south.

The real palace inside the third wall, that is, the inner city. The inner city is divided into two parts, the front and the back. The front is the court area, there is the main hall Taiji Hall and the east hall and the west hall side by side with it. The emperor went to court, all in the Taiji Palace. The Taiji Hall is the tallest building in the entire imperial city, tall and majestic, facing south and facing north.

Behind the inner city is the emperor's bedchamber. The real inner palace is here, where the emperor and his concubines live.

In the inner palace, on the north-south axis, there are two palaces. The front one is the emperor's bed-style dry hall (for the emperor to rest), also known as Zhongzhai. The back one is the queen bed Xianyang Hall (for the queen to live). The two halls and the Taiji Hall in front form a layout of three halls side by side.

The Qiandian and the Xianyang Hall are each a group of palaces, and on the east and west sides of it, there are wing halls. As mentioned earlier, the side halls on both sides of the Taiji Hall are called the East Hall and the West Hall, while the two sides of the Shiqian Hall are called East Zhai and West Zhai. The two sides of the Xianyang Hall are called the Huiyin Hall and the Hanzhang Hall. Huang Jiao was originally in the West Palace, and has been living in the Hanzhang Hall on the east side of the Xianyang Palace, even if she later became the Queen Mother, she did not change places. Before the little emperor Xiao Ying ascended the throne, he had been living with Huang Jiao in Hanzhang Palace. Later, he grew older, and when he was ten years old, he came out of Hanzhang Hall and moved to Saisai.

In addition to the palace group on the central axis, dozens of small gardens and houses were built in a longitudinal row on the east and west sides of the inner palace, most of which were for concubines to live in. Only the latter ones were used for miscellaneous servants (mostly palace maids, some eunuchs) and eunuchs on duty.

The cost of the inner palace is provided by the internal affairs office within the first palace wall. Most of the eunuchs also lived in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Only when you are on duty, will you enter the inner palace. Of course, confidant eunuchs like Qian Manquan generally live in the inner palace all year round.

The scope of the forbidden army was limited to the front area of the outer city and the inner city, and the emperor's sleeping area was absolutely inaccessible, which was different from the palace city in the middle capital. The forbidden army totaled 8,000 men, and it was impossible to use all of them to defend Miyagi. In fact, there were only 2,000 forbidden troops on duty in Miyagi every day. The remaining 6,000 people are all in the forbidden army camp outside Jinling City (read the full text of the cook). Every day, 2,000 forbidden troops entered the city to exchange shifts with the forbidden troops who had been on duty.

Most of the 2,000 forbidden troops on duty were inside the first palace wall, and a small number entered the second palace wall and were on duty at the central government offices. In addition, there are a hundred forbidden soldiers, who are on duty outside the Taiji Palace, that is, in the court. If the emperor deals with officials, he is generally dealt with by these hundred forbidden troops on duty.

The entire Daqi palace city, layer by layer layout, the building is neat and strict, and there is a set of effective operation mechanism to ensure the absolute safety of the palace.

The four corners of the outer city of Miyagi have a total of four corner towers for lookout and overlook, and play the role of early warning. There are seven gates around the outer city. There are three roads in the south, which are the East Branch Gate, the West Branch Gate, and the Dasi Gate in the middle. On the east and west sides of the outer city, they are Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate respectively. On the north side, near the two corner towers, there are Pyeongchang Gate and Guangchang Gate. Whether it is a corner tower or a city gate, there are forbidden troops on duty day and night.

Song Zheng was dressed in a forbidden army costume and came to the main gate on the south side of the palace city, outside the Dasi Gate. The three major halls, such as the Dasi Gate and the Taiji Palace, are on a central axis, which is the main gate of the entire palace city, and it is also the most luxurious of all the gates. However, the Great Priest Gate is also the least used. It is only when the emperor is out of the city that it is completely opened. Officials went in and out of Miyagi, civil officials went to Dongzhimen, and military attachés went to Xizhimen. If you go to the court, you also enter through these two gates, and then go to the Taiji Palace.

Normally, the main door is closed. Inside and outside the gate, there are more than 100 forbidden soldiers guarding it. Only during the exchange class, the Grand Priest will open a gap that is only allowed for people to pass through, allowing the forbidden army to enter and exit.

Seeing Song Zheng coming, the forbidden troops on duty outside the gate all showed vigilance. Song Zheng smiled, and saw an exceptionally stout sergeant on the east side, dressed in the costume of a hundred households, so he took two steps forward and asked, "This eldest brother, in Xia Song Zheng, came to report to the Imperial City Division, and bothered the eldest brother to point out where to go." ”

"Song Zheng?" Baihu hesitated for a moment, "But the commander of the thousand households, Song Zheng, the martial champion?" ”

"It's just a mere one, I don't know what to call the eldest brother?"

"The small surname is Guan, Guan Hu, and he is the leader of the forbidden army's detachment team (the latest chapter of the Dark Moon)." He glanced at Song Zheng up and down again, and asked softly, "Does General Song have a military talisman with him?" ”

Song Zheng nodded, and took out a small sword-shaped golden talisman from his arms. This golden talisman was personally given by the Holy Decree two days ago and sent to the Song Mansion. Song Zheng naturally carried it with him.

Guan Hu verified the golden talisman, took the golden talisman, and took a closer look, only to see three seal characters written on the front of the golden talisman: Huangcheng Division, and a "Zhen" word written on the back. The forbidden army had 8,000 people, divided into eight teams, and was named after the gossip of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Xun, Li, and Dui. Each of the eight thousand household commanders has a golden talisman in their hands, and the one in Song Zheng's hand is the Zhenzi, which means that Song Zheng is the leader of the Zhenzi team.

The golden talisman is correct, Guan Hu immediately bowed his head and arched his hand, "The Lizi team leads the army to Guan Hu, see General Song." The rest of the sergeants all clenched their fists towards Song Zheng, "See General Song." ”

"Brother Guan is exempt, and all brothers are exempt. Song came here for the first time and didn't know the rules. I also hope that Brother Guan will give me some pointers, how to report to Weiwei. ”

Guan Hu asked suspiciously, "General Song, there are no brothers from the Zhenzi team to pick you up?" ”

Song Zheng shook his head, "I came here by myself, and I didn't meet the brother of the Imperial City Division." What, what's wrong? ”

"Oh, nothing." Guan Hu hesitated for a moment, then said, "General Song can go in, and after entering the gate, turn west, and it will be the Imperial City Division." Lord Huyan is on duty today, and you can see him. ”

Lord Huyan in Guan Hu's mouth is Huyande, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, and is in charge of the four teams of Qian, Zhen, Gen, and Li in the forbidden army. Another deputy commander, Tong Bing, was in charge of the other four forbidden armies.

After Song Zheng expressed his gratitude, Guan Hu led Song Zheng to the door of Dasimen and patted the door knocker three times in a row. A small doorway half a foot square opened on the left side of the door, and a deep voice asked, "Guan Baihu, what's the matter?" ”

"General Song, the new commander of the Zhenzi team, is here for the Imperial City Division, Sun Baihu, please open the city gate (read the full text of the Royal Academy of Languages)."

"General Song? Haven't heard of it. Really? ”

Guan Hu glanced at Song Zheng, turned his head and said, "I have already tested General Song's golden talisman. ”

"Guan Baihu, I'm afraid it won't work. Today is the Xunzi team and the Genzi team on duty, and the Zhenzi team is not on duty in two days, according to the rules, the people of the Zhenzi team cannot come in at this time. "The voice inside is serious.

Guan Hu couldn't bear it, and said reluctantly, "Sun Bald, aren't you looking for trouble?" General Song is reporting on the first day, and he wants to see Lord Huyan, don't you know? ”

"I know that the Earthquake Team has changed its leader, but no one told me to report today. I'm sorry, I can't let people in. ”

Guan Hu was about to speak, but Song Zheng patted him on the shoulder, and then said loudly, "It's Brother Sun inside, and I'm Song Zheng." ”

The bald man inside was silent for a while, and then said, "It's General Song, it's my duty, and I can't let the general in." I hope the general will forgive me. The general might as well go to the Xizhi Gate, and from there to the Imperial City Division, it is closer. ”

Song Zheng smiled, "With what Brother Sun means, the brothers over there in Xizhimen are better to speak?" Or is it not as loyal as Brother Sun? ”

"Yo, General Song, Xia Guan didn't say that. Xia Guan is just ......"

"Sun Baihu!" Song Zheng said sharply, "Song won the martial champion order three days ago, and the Holy Lord gave Song an official position, and awarded the golden talisman of the Imperial City Division!" The saint personally instructed Song to rest for three days and take office today at the Imperial City Division, which is a holy order! Sun Baihu won't even obey the holy order? ”

"The lower officials don't dare!"

"Then don't you open the gates quickly!"

The person inside hesitated, "The lower official wants to check the golden talisman (read the full text of the transformation woman's knighthood)." ”

This grandson is clearly difficult. Song Zheng snorted coldly and threw the golden talisman in his hand. The golden talisman was like a small dagger, shooting through the doorway that was only half a foot in circumference. There was only a sound inside, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps, and some whispering, but the gates were not opened.

Song Zheng is not in a hurry, the golden talisman was given by the Holy Decree himself, no matter how bold this Sun Baihu is, he will not dare to be corrupt.

Guan Hu took a breath of cold air, this Song general really has two brushes, judging from the angle and speed of the golden rune flying in, Sun Bald must have suffered a dark loss. He glanced at Song Zheng up and down, and saw that Song Zheng was holding his hands behind his back, and there was a shallow smile on his extraordinarily young face, looking confident.

Guan Hu said silently: Another ruthless person!

After a while, a two-foot-wide gap opened in the gate. Song Zheng turned his head and hugged his fist towards Guan Hu, "Thank you, Brother Guan, I'll invite you to dinner another day!" ”

Guan Hu didn't dare to say anything, Song Zheng smiled, turned around and walked towards the door.

When I entered the gate, I saw more than 20 forbidden soldiers, crowded in the doorway. The one in the middle, covering the bridge of his nose with one hand and holding the golden talisman in the other, looked at Song Zheng resentfully. Song Zheng arched his hand slightly, "Brother Sun, I missed it for a while, I'm sorry." Isn't it badly hurt? Do you need to see a doctor? ”

"No!" Sun Bald replied coldly and took the hand on the stinky beam away. Song Zheng looked at it fixedly, and saw that the middle of the other party's eyebrows was bruised and swollen, and he was puffed up. A half-inch sword mark has already scratched the skin. This is thanks to the fact that the tip of the golden talisman is rounded and not sharp, and Song Zheng left his hand again, so this effect is caused.

"Oh, Brother Sun, why is it so swollen? Sin! Sin! Song Zheng hurriedly stepped forward, with a look of regret on his face. Sun Bald was stunned for a moment, and Song Zheng had already come up, poked his fingertips, and hit Sun Bald's wrist. Sun Bald only felt that his hand was numb, and the golden talisman returned to Song Zheng's hands.
