Chapter 60: The Imperial City of Bianjing

'The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.' The status of the ancient Chinese emperor can be summed up in this sentence, Chrysostom and Yuyan, words follow the law, the world is the world of his family, everyone must submit to his feet, this supreme right can be said to have reached the peak of the right, so throughout the ages there are countless people who covet this position, father and son kill each other, cannibalism is not uncommon, those who fight under the blood, their ultimate goal is the same, that is, one day to be able to ascend the throne of the emperor.

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, but it is an outlier in history, because the process of becoming the emperor is more legendary, he himself has no royal blood, there are still 108,000 miles away from the order of the sky, he did not have a father and son to seize Di, nor did he kill each other, let alone rebel, but in a seemingly calm performance, won the supreme throne, Chen Qiao mutiny, under his half-push and half-push, a yellow flag was wrapped around his body, since then the yellow robe has been added, and the dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty has been created.

Under all kinds of coincidences, let this old Zhao, who was originally just an ordinary official, become the master of the world, generally as long as he is an emperor from a civilian background, after getting the supreme right, he will not be like those 'second generation emperors' who are drunk and don't ask about state affairs, on the contrary, as long as they are people from the bottom, after becoming emperors, they will better understand the suffering of the people, either strictly arrest corrupt officials and corrupt officials, or implement benevolent government to benefit the world, in short, they are called emperors, and the people of the world will benefit in the end.

Zhao Kuangyin is such a person.

When Lao Zhao was young, because of his disagreement with his father's political views, he ran away from home alone, and went around as a home, during this period, he walked among the peddlers and pawns, traveled among the reckless Han farmers, and after traveling in all directions, he finally put into the account of Guo Wei, the privy envoy of the Later Han Dynasty, and made many military achievements.

The experience of wandering at the bottom brought Lao Zhao a very profound education, and he gradually understood the importance of a benevolent emperor to the people of the world, so he took 'benevolent government' as his motto for his actions, and it is commendable that he did it later

is about to meet this one of the best benevolent emperors in history, Jiang Yin's heart is excited, he has seen the poetry emperor Li Yu, but it is only that hurried side, this cannot be regarded as a formal contact with the ancient emperor.

But this time, it can be counted as the first time.

Bianjing City as the imperial city, the construction of the imperial city is naturally extremely magnificent, through the Xuande building about ten zhang high city wall, to the Zai Zhi dismounted the left silver gate, the cavalry team that escorted Jiang Yin into the palace is also here to hand over Jiang Yin and several people to the father-in-law who led the way, and then turned to leave.

The ancient eunuchs are a little different from Jiang Yin's imagination, they are not as girly as they are in the TV series, and their voices are not as sharp as they imagined, if it weren't for the fact that they were dressed in eunuch costumes too obviously, and they all looked like they were in their twenties and had no beard, Jiang Yin really thought that they would be normal men.

The level of medical technology in the Tang and Song dynasties was not enough, and the castration of eunuchs was not completely circumcised, usually only the testicles were destroyed, and it was not until the late Ming and Qing dynasties that the medical level was developed, and the eunuchs at that time would be completely castrated, and the eunuchs at that time would behave more like women.

Several fathers-in-law checked Jiang Yin's belongings, as well as the big box he carried, and after looking for the items that were not sharp, they led Jiang Yin to continue to march towards the imperial city.

More than 100 zhang of Zuoyintai Gate Road, there is a sergeant in armor standing guard every ten meters, and there are more than a dozen people patrolling in the distance from time to time, looking heavily guarded and extremely solemn.

Carefully following behind a few fathers-in-law who led the way in front, Jiang Yin looked at the royal buildings of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Forbidden City, the capital of the later generations, the royal buildings of the Great Song Dynasty did not use golden glazed tiles, but used a kind of blue bricks and tiles, the overall look is less rich, more indifferent, with the magnificent overall pattern, it is also extremely spectacular.

The ancients did not lack land, especially the emperor who lived in the emperor, which was the respect of the ninety-five, including heaven and earth, so the palace was built very large, Jiang Yin raised his eyes and looked at it, almost all of the surrounding floors were paved with blue bricks, and the open space of more than 100 zhang was close to the ** square, coupled with many well-armored guard soldiers, it would unconsciously make people feel like they wanted to bow and worship.

Passed through the right Chengtian Gate, the eyes suddenly opened up, in the east, there are huge Chinese classical palace buildings, these buildings and the Forbidden City of later generations are not much different, none of them are slightly different in decoration, those tall buildings in front of them, there are railings and stairs carved with white marble, at a glance it is very noble atmosphere of the royal family.

Finding that Jiang Yin was stunned, several fathers-in-law hurriedly urged, they didn't want His Majesty to wait for a long time.

Jiying Palace, Huangyi Palace, and Vertical Arch Palace, passed through the front of the three main halls, and finally came to the gate of the Ziluan Palace.

Several fathers-in-law showed their cards to the guards and checked the things Jiang Yin was carrying, and then everyone was allowed to enter the palace courtyard of the Ziluan Palace.

At the end of the ninety-nine-eighty-one white marble steps, a large hall about three zhang high stands quietly, where Zhao Kuangyin usually works and holds private meetings: Ziluan Palace.

Several fathers-in-law took Jiang Yin to the bottom steps of the Ziluan Palace, and heard a leading eunuch say to the eunuch on the steps: "The servant was ordered to bring Jiang Yinian, an overseas person, and asked the father-in-law to inform Your Majesty." ”

The eunuch standing on the steps bowed slightly, nodded, and got up and walked towards the main hall at the end of the steps.

After a while, I heard a shrill voice from the palace in the distance: "Jiang Yinian, a person from Xuanhai~"

"Jiang Yinian, a person from outside the country, will meet ~"

Hearing the sound of the reports, Jiang Yin's heart was nervous for no reason, and then he shook his head and smiled, being able to see the emperor of the Song Dynasty with his own eyes, and he was also the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, this glory, I am afraid that no one in the future will be able to enjoy it.

Jiang Yin was holding a box, Lin Yue and Di Yan were stopped by the guards guarding the city outside the gate of Ziluan Hall as early as possible, the emperor wanted to see Jiang Yin, and it was impossible for the entourage to be lucky enough to see His Majesty the Emperor, Lin Yue was still a little indignant about this, or Jiang Yin appeased him, and Lin Yue also responded with his eyes Jiang Yin must pay attention to safety.

Stepping on the steps, the eighty-one steps are not too high, Jiang Yin quickly climbed to the top floor, in front of a huge palace, dozens of soldiers with halberds were standing straight, they announced that the most powerful man in the world was in this palace.

"Mr. Jiang, please." The eunuch who led the way for Jiang Yin bent down slightly at this time and arched towards the gate.

"Please." Jiang Yin also smiled, and confidently stepped towards the gate of this huge palace
