Lu Yun followed Eunuch Hu and entered Ziwei City from the hundred-foot-high Yingtianmen, and saw a wide and magnificent square in front of him, appearing between Yingtianmen and Jianyuanmen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Standing on this square, looking at the tall and strict palace walls around him, it makes people feel their own insignificance and unattainable imperial power!

But in Lu Yun's opinion, the brick and stone here are so familiar, his father once took him to ride a horse in this square, so frightened that his little face turned pale, and he shrank in front of his father's broad chest. He once took his little hand and walked on the royal road in the middle of the square, paved with white marble and carved dragons and phoenixes, and explained the history of this palace to him......

Ten years have passed, and he stands on this square again, but he can no longer see his father galloping on a horse, and he can no longer get close to the royal road that only the Son of Heaven can tread......

"Don't be in a daze, let's go." Eunuch Hu saw that he was distracted, thinking that it was a child who had never seen the world, and urged: "Don't look around, what kind of system will it be." ”

Lu Yun nodded, took a deep look at the seawater Jiangya on the royal road, then withdrew his gaze, and followed Eunuch Hu through the square from the bluestone road next to the imperial road, and entered the Jianyuan Gate. Ten years ago, it was still called Qianyuanmen......

After the Jianyuan Gate, it is the main hall of the palace, the Jianyuan Palace, Lu Yun followed Eunuch Hu from the Ximen Street of the Jianyuan Palace through the Qian, and then arrived at the harem. The main gate of the harem is the Changle Gate, at this time the side street in front of the Changle Gate is already a car and a horse, countless carriages, honor guards, thousands of guards, eunuchs, have been ready to go, just waiting for the nobles in the palace to come out.

Although there are many people, the streets are quiet. Everyone is in their place, their eyes are not squinting, and no one dares to talk to each other, which makes people can't help but be shocked by the royal solemnity......

Eunuch Hu was also much more careful in his words and deeds, and took Lu Yun to the westernmost carriages, first whispered a few words to the eunuch in charge, and then turned his head and whispered to Lu Yun: "From now on, listen to this Ma Gonggong in everything." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Lu Yun arched his hand to the eunuch surnamed Ma, and Eunuch Ma waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and get in the car and stay, and wait until you get to the ground." ”

Lu Yun was stuffed into a carriage by Eunuch Ma, and there were already five people in the carriage, all dressed in neat official robes, and the youngest looked to be in their thirties. Seeing him come in, the five officials gave him a place, Lu Yun knelt down and sat down, and the carriage, which was not spacious, suddenly became more crowded.

Several officials sat with serious expressions, and did not mean to talk to each other. Seeing that no one took care of him, Lu Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was this kind of unnutritious greetings. So he was happy to be pure, and simply began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Lu Yun has been meditating and practicing since he was a child, and his ability to meditate is naturally very accessible, and unconsciously half an hour has passed, when he reopened his eyes, he found that the carriage was still not moving. Several officials next to him were already sweating, and they had long lost their original official bodies, and they were constantly wiping sweat and fanning the wind there. They also began to talk in a whisper......

"Why don't you leave, how long have you been waiting?"

"You have to wait for Your Majesty, the queen, the concubines, and the prince to come out, it's good to leave before noon." An elderly official unbuttoned the front of his official robe, wiped his sweat and sighed: "Everyone thinks that it is a great honor to accompany the driver, but they don't know how much they have suffered......

When several officials heard that this person was not the first time to accompany them, they hurriedly asked for advice. It turned out that the elderly official's surname was Qin, and he was a secretary of the secretary province, and every time the emperor traveled, the secretary province would send someone to accompany him, in case the emperor could consult the classics and consult the ancient and modern. He had already followed the emperor on his tour several times.

This secretary surnamed Qin looked at Lu Yun and the others with a look of pity: "Although Your Majesty has asked you to accompany you, you will definitely be summoned." When I think about it one day, I will call one of you over to talk, and if I can't remember, you will run for nothing, so you have to have a normal heart and don't expect too much. ”

"Ahh Lu Yun had been prepared for this, but those officials were obviously very surprised. "It's so easy to accompany you once, and you can't even see Your Majesty."

"In short, look at the ...... of creation," the official surnamed Qin sighed, but it always made people feel a little gloating.

After another half an hour, the sun was already high, and the rumbling of carriages and horses sounded outside, and after a long while, their carriage finally started slowly, and set off for the summer palace of Bishan.

。

The summer palace is located in the Cuiyun Peak of Pishan outside Luoyang City, only six or seven miles away from Ziwei Palace, and it will not take a while and a half to reach it if ordinary people walk. But the pomp and circumstance of the initial emperor's patrol was too big, there were thousands of carriages alone, nearly 10,000 accompanying guards, eunuchs, and palace maids, and 20,000 heavily armed Yulin troops joined the team when they went out of the city.

At this time, the carriage stopped, and the emperor's concubines and princesses took the imperial chariot to carry the sedan chair up the mountain, and the rest of the people naturally walked. The officials who were about to be suffocated to death in the carriage were like being amnestied at this moment, and they all tidied up their official robes and got out of the car to stretch their sore muscles and bones.

Lu Yun also got out of the car, at this time the sun was setting, the heat was gradually disappearing, he took a deep breath of the refreshing air in the suburbs, and looked up at the summer palace on Cuiyun Peak. I saw that this palace was built against the mountain, and the rows of buildings and pavilions were all over the top and bottom of Cuiyun Peak, the scale was grand, magnificent, and it was jaw-dropping.

In addition to the buildings all over the mountain, Cuiyun Peak is surrounded by a wall several zhang high, with arrows and lookouts on the wall, and countless officers and soldiers guarding it, and any uninvited guest who dares to approach this summer palace will be immediately devastated!

Lu Yun vaguely remembered that when he was young, he also came here with his parents to escape the summer, but the summer palace at that time was only limited to a cluster of buildings on the top of the mountain, far from the scale of today's mountains and pavilions, let alone this wall and such a strict guard.

He and the five officials waited for a long time at the foot of the mountain, and it was not until dark that they followed the eunuch Nama into the palace gate and settled down in a courtyard halfway up the mountain. Lu Yun slept in a room with five officials, and it turned out to be a Chase Shop...... Not only Lu Yun, but those officials had never been crowded on a low couch like this, and they all had sad faces.

The secretary surnamed Qin was calm and smiled: "This is already good, there are more than ten people in one room a year, and they can't lie down on the couch, so they can only sleep on the ground......."

"I look at this summer palace, there are thousands of palaces, how can you live so cramped?" An official asked, puzzled.

"What do you think? Thousands of rooms are also where His Majesty lives, and we, the servants, just have a place to stay. The official surnamed Qin smiled a little weirdly: "Of course, if you are a high-ranking official and dignitary, you will naturally have a single room to live in." If the valve masters come, there will be a separate palace, but it's a pity that you are not ......"

"Hey......" Several officials were hit hard by the surname Qin, and they were sleepy and tired, and they no longer had the interest to speak, so they fell asleep one after another.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Lu Yun got up early and walked around the summer palace.

Although the summer palace is an administrative palace, it also follows the rules of the front court and the back palace, the emperor and his concubines live in the inner palace on the top of the mountain, and the adult princes, ministers, and guards live in the outer palace halfway up the mountain. Of course, those princes all lived in independent palaces, and idle people were not allowed to approach.

When I went up the mountain last night, it was dark and I couldn't see it really, and today Lu Yun found out that although this is the emperor's summer palace in the suburbs, the prosperity of the palace is no less than the Ziwei Palace in the big one.

Lu Yun shuttled between the corridors of the high gates of the outer palace, and from time to time saw deacons and eunuchs coming and going, and there were also guards on duty who came to check from time to time.
