"Why is this palace so dilapidated, look at what this patent leather looks like, can this live? Six-year-old Gao Yang looked at the outer wall of the palace with a disgusted expression and muttered.

"Okay Gao Yang, where did you get so many strange words." Changle, who was following behind, patted his sister's little head with a double bun, and said angrily.

"How can you call it weird, it's supposed to be, it's so broken that you can't live in it, why doesn't my father let people repair it." Gao Yang pouted and retorted unhappily.

Wu Yuanqing, who has often been mixed in the team of little princesses as a brother-in-law since he left Chang'an, interjected at this time and said: "Gao Yang, don't think this palace is dilapidated, I told you that this palace has a lot of materials, and the decoration is not inferior to the Chang'an Palace, and even surpassed, that is, it doesn't look very bright, but in fact, the interior is quite good."

"Really?" Gao Yang's face I don't read much, brother-in-law, don't lie to me.

Wu Yuanqing nodded affirmatively, "Of course."

Wu Yuanqing's words are really not deceiving, Xianren Palace and the eastern capital Luoyang were built in the same time period. It took only ten months for Luoyang to complete the construction from planning, design to construction to complete the construction in the second year of the uncle, and the price paid was to recruit and transfer 2 million people per month.

The scale of Luoyang is slightly smaller than Chang'an City, with a radius of fifty-five miles, and Emperor Yang of Sui at that time already had the idea of moving the capital to Luoyang, because Luoyang is located in the Central Plains, not only prosperous, but also smooth and convenient transportation of grain, far more suitable than Chang'an.

Luoyang's chief designer, director of the building, Yu Wenkai "thought that the emperor's heart was extravagant, so the Tokyo system was extremely magnificent". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xuansu once said to Li Shimin about the situation he saw in the construction of the eastern capital, saying: "The minister also tasted the Sui room to build a palace, the building is magnificent, and the big wood is not nearby, and most of them are collected from Yuzhang (now Jiangxi). Two thousand people dragged a pillar, and the hubs under it were all made of pig iron, and if a wooden wheel was used, it would be fired. The iron hub is born, and there is destruction when it travels one or two miles, and hundreds of people still don't follow the iron hub, and they don't go into thirty or twenty miles all day long. Roughly counting one column, hundreds of thousands of work has been used, and the remaining expenses are too much. ”

Luoyang construction is extremely luxurious, the construction of the palace city is even more, there are dozens of palaces, pavilions, halls, courtyards such as the Qianyang Palace, the Daye Hall in the palace city, extremely magnificent.

Li Jifu, the prime minister of the late Tang Dynasty, said: "The palace and the palace are all created by Yu Wenkai. Kai ingenuity, so the manufacture is quite poor and luxurious, the previous generation of the capital is incomparable. ”

Among them, the Qianyang Hall is the most luxurious, and it is the place where the emperor holds ceremonies and receives important foreign missions. "The base of the temple is nine feet high, and from the ground to the tail of the owl (the beast at both ends of the ridge) is one hundred and seventy feet high, and there are thirteen rooms and twenty-nine frames, and three majestys. Wen sill, Luan Lu hundred, arch thousand structures, cloud lintel embroidered columns, Hua Yu Bi Jue, the magnificence of the poor Xuan. Its pillar is large twenty-four around, leaning on the well and hanging lotus, and the one who looks up is dizzy. Nanxuan hangs a network of beads, and it does not reach seven feet to the ground, so as to prevent birds. Surrounded by Xuan corridors, sitting guards. "There are heavy buildings in the southeast, southwest, southwest and southwest of the palace, a hanging bell, a hanging drum, the leakage is downstairs, and the bell and drum are ringing with the leakage." The main gate of Miyagi is the gate of heaven, "the door is flying and watching each other, and the court hall is outside the door".

As a result, because it was too luxurious, Li Yuan, the ancestor of the fourth year of Wude, was burned down and built again, and I don't know what Li Yuan's head thought. Isn't that more expensive?

It is estimated that there is a disease in the head, or it may be that you are not good at math and can't figure it out.

This palace city was burned down, but Wu Yuanqing heard a name from his father Wu Shiyi, and the name of the burned palace city was Forbidden City.

That's right, it's the name of the palace where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties lived.

When he heard this name at that time, Wu Yuanqing was stunned and thought that he had crossed over again, or he wore it in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Wu Yuanqing was very suspicious that the name of the Forbidden City built by the Ming Dynasty was derived from the name of the Forbidden City in Luoyang Palace in the Sui Dynasty.

This is pure speculation, but Wu Yuanqing feels that the possibility is very great.

It's a pity that it was ruined by Li Yuan, otherwise I really want to see how luxurious and magnificent the Luoyang Forbidden City, which surpasses Chang'an and Taiji Palace, can be luxurious.

However, although the Forbidden City was burned down, the Xianren Palace outside the city still stands in the west of Luoyang City.

The magnificence of Xianren Palace is not inferior to that of the Forbidden City of Luoyang Palace of Sui, because it is only a separate palace, the scale of the building is much smaller than the formal palace, and the difficulty of transporting the rare stones required is far easier than that of building a large palace, so it can be built more gorgeously.

In addition, the geographical location of Xianren Palace is good, and the land and waterways are developed and smooth, so when it was built, it was "sent to the south of the great river and the north of Wuling, and the strange materials and stones were lost here; and ask for different trees and plants in the sea, rare birds and beasts, and a garden of truth."

Luxury, extreme luxury. It is estimated that the rare birds and beasts have been hung up for so many years, but there may also be small births, and regardless of these, just the strange materials and stones, the domestic Jiamu and different grasses are far from being comparable to Chang'an.

Who let Chang'an build it when the Sui Dynasty or Emperor Wen of Sui had just been proclaimed emperor and was not rich when it was built. The construction of Luoyang was built when Emperor Yang of Sui, the richest emperor of the Sui Dynasty, first ascended the throne.

Entering the inside, sure enough, although the carved beams and paintings do not look so bright, and they have not been repaired and painted, but the furnishings in the halls are all good things, of course, these are secondary, and the layout of the main palace courtyard is excellent.

In Luoyang, more than February, the weather has warmed up, although the flowers have not yet bloomed, the grass is also yellow, but the frozen lake, the frozen rockery water has melted.

The huge rockery, the rockery formed by the strange stones, uneven, the lake stones with interlaced teeth, let the well-informed, but never leave Chang'an, the princesses who do not know the world are amazed again and again.

Of course, following Wu Yuanqing through the mountains and mountains to Lingnan, under the South Seas, and from south to north through the canal, and through Changle, who walked through half of the Tang Dynasty, seemed much calmer, those stones, strange trees, and anything couldn't cause her to fluctuate a little.

After a little half a day of noisy, everyone was settled, and it was evening.

In the evening, the emperor invited a banquet for his entourage, but when the food was served, Li Shimin's face darkened.

He was very dissatisfied with the food on the table, except for sheep, deer, fish, chickens and ducks and other meats, the rest were all pastries and something, and they were all steamed, as for the green vegetables, only the emperor and a few important ministers had a little, and the others were not green.

In this way, Li Shimin feels very faceless, in Chang'an, not to mention the palace, the princes and nobles, even ordinary people can occasionally buy some vegetables to eat.

What's the matter, your officials in Luoyang are so embarrassed, did I treat you badly or what, you didn't even give you some vegetables, didn't you even have some vegetables in Luoyang, the eastern capital of the palace?
