The two of them came to the silver light gate, the gate was closed, but the guards fled without a trace. Ascending the tower, the tents outside the city were still there, and the attendants were still drinking tea and chatting, apparently unaware of what was going on inside. Yin Tongxiang asked a Dragoon Guard Military Academy to go and spread the word: The ball game has ended, and the Holy Lord has given a banquet, and he can't leave for a while. If you have something to do, you can go and get busy first, and it's not too late to wait for the end of the Shen period. When the retinue heard this, they were all at ease, and they stayed or went as they pleased.

It was almost noon, and the dust suddenly flew in the West Forbidden Garden outside the Silver Light Gate, and a team of cavalry suddenly arrived. Yang Hao was a little frightened when he saw it.

Yin Tongxiang looked at it carefully and said with a smile: "Third brother, don't panic, it's Qiu Shiliang's people." He's here to escort him, let's go, let's go down to meet him. ”

"Qiu Shiliang." Yang Hao felt that this name was so familiar, and he seemed to have heard it somewhere.

"Third brother, what did you say?" Yin Tongxiang asked when she heard Yang Hao's mouth muttering.

"Ah, it's nothing, I just think I think I've heard the name Qiu Shiliang somewhere." Yang Hao patted his head and still didn't remember.

"Hey, what's so strange about that, dignified lieutenant of the Divine Army." Yin Tongxiang smiled disappreciatively.

The silver light door opened, and Qiu Shiliang dismounted and came on foot, he was in his fifties, six feet tall, his face was as ruddy as a newborn baby, and his sideburns were slightly white. The chin is bare, and there is no beard.

"He's a eunuch!" Yang Hao was shocked, "Eunuchs, Qiu Shiliang, Shence Army, Daming Palace - the change of nectar!"

Yang Hao's face turned pale suddenly, he never thought that the seemingly loyal old eunuch in front of him was actually the culprit who single-handedly created the outrageous "Manna Change"! The "Manna Change" was a tragedy in the history of the Tang Dynasty, in which 600 court ministers were brutally killed by the Shence Army, and tens of thousands of people were implicated and killed. Since then, the emperor has been like a puppet, and the eunuchs are good at court politics. However, decades after the outbreak of the Huangchao Uprising, the Tang Dynasty, which was once flourishing in Chinese history, became history in the storm.

Qiu Shiliang saw Yang Hao's strange appearance and asked in surprise, "Is the little general unwell?" ”

Yin Tongxiang looked back, was also startled, and hurriedly asked, "Third brother, what's wrong with you." ”

"Oh, it's okay, I twisted my waist when I went downstairs." Yang Hao hurriedly covered up.

Yin Tongxiang believed that it was true, after all, he was still talking and laughing with Yang Hao just now.

Qiu Shiliang took out a celadon vial from his arms and handed it to Yang Hao, "I have some blood pills here, which may be useful for your injuries." ”

Qiu Shiliang stretched out his hand, but Yang Hao didn't pick it up for a long time, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

"The third brother of the last general, thank you for your kindness." Yin Tongxiang took the medicine bottle with both hands and resolved the embarrassment.

Looking at Qiu Shiliang's distant back, Yin Tongxiang looked back at Yang Hao: "Third brother, you are too calm!" To deal with such an old fox, you must know how to act on the spot, and be false and wronged. That can be like you, and you will choke people to death with a cold face. ”

Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turns out that you are just fooling him, I thought you were really good with him." ”

"Ahh Yin Tongxiang pursed her lips, "It's a shame that you can say it, let me be good with him, it's better for me to go to the pigsty to find an old sow to be friends." ”

Yang Hao's heart was a little better, it seemed that they were still wary of Qiu Shiliang. Before the tragedy happened, hurry up and flash people! It's just that he has been caught in the palace infighting, is there still a chance to get out? Yang Hao looked at Yin Tongxiang, who was full of red light and full of ambition: If I tell him, one day soon, there will be a bloody palace change in the Daming Palace, and the corpses killed will be all over the field, and the blood will flow like a river. What would he think? Believe me? Or do you think I'm crazy?

Yang Hao suddenly lost his confidence in his heart, in the eyes of Yin Tongxiang and others, "dumb overlord" is synonymous with simplicity. How can they believe such a strange thing coming out of their mouths? But if you don't tell him when you know it's in danger, how can you bear it? Yang Hao thinks it is still necessary to remind Yin Tongxiang:

"Yulang, you see, today's incident came too suddenly and too dangerously. Although we, oh no, His Majesty won, but, after all, this is still too dangerous, I mean, let's not get involved in these things in the future, otherwise it will be too late to regret the loss of the head. ”

Yang Hao was nervous, and his words were stumbling, but the main meaning was still expressed: cherish life and stay away from officialdom.

"Third brother, what are you talking about, why are you stumbling, you weren't like this before, oh, by the way, you have a serious illness and your temperament has changed greatly, but you don't have to be afraid of being like this, right? The big husband walks the world, why is he afraid of life and death? The head is off, and the bowl mouth is a big scar. Besides, who can say for sure what will happen in the future. Take Wang Shoucheng as an example, the patriarch of the Four Dynasties, can he think of today? If people can know what will happen in the future, what is the strength of living? ”

"No, Yulang, you don't understand what I mean, I have a hunch that something big will happen in Daming Palace in the near future...... Let's ......"

Yang Hao couldn't finish his words, because Yin Tongxiang had already covered his ears. Yang Hao sighed helplessly, he knew that he couldn't listen to what Yin Tongxiang said now, just say what he should say, and the brother is also benevolent and righteous.

"Alright, third brother. I understand what you mean, I'll just be careful in the future. Seeing Yang Hao's lost expression, Yin Tongxiang comforted her a few words without pain.

A little eunuch came flying on a horse, and shouted from afar: "The Holy Lord's edict, Yang Hao and Yin Tongxiang led the dragon cavalry guards into the palace to arrest Guo Qin and Pang Huai. There must be no mistakes. ”

"The Lord's Order is grateful." Yin Tongxiang replied, full of joy. Wang Shoucheng has fallen, Guo Qin and Pang Huai are just lost dogs, it is easy to take them, and the emperor handed over such an important matter to himself, which shows his favor.

Seeing that Yang Hao was still in a daze, the eunuch cleared his throat and reminded, "General Yang, you haven't thanked you yet." ”

"The minister also received the decree of thanksgiving." Yang Hao hurriedly replied.

The eunuch smiled all over his face, and said in a harmonious voice: "Guo Qin is in Hanliang Palace, and Pang Huai is in Xuanwu Gate." Which of the two generals went to the palace on an errand? Wang Chunhao followed to call the door. ”

Yang Hao said: "Yulang, you go to get Guo Qin, and I'll catch Pang Huai." There are many rules in the palace, and I am afraid that I will cause trouble again. ”

Yin Tongxiang laughed: "Third brother, you are now on an errand and are with Father-in-law Wang, what rules are you afraid of?" Or I'll go to Xuanwumen, there are more rules for the forbidden army. ”

Daming Palace is located in the northeast corner of Chang'an City, which was the place where the emperor of the Tang Dynasty worked and lived. Daming Palace covers a vast area, and the main hall Hanyuan Hall is the largest civil structure building in history. This is Yang Hao's initial impression of Daming Palace, which comes from a history textbook.

"Open the palace gate, General Yang is ordered to run an errand."

Yang Hao and his entourage came to the right Yintai gate on the west side of Daming Palace, and one of the guards accompanying him opened his mouth to call the door.

"Please ask the general to inspect the deed." The guard on the tower replied.

"Bold! Your Majesty's dictation can still be fake! The dragoon guard shouted a loud scold, only to receive a sneer from the guard.

"Holy Command, open the palace door and let it go." Wang Chun held up a golden token and said sharply. This token was a token used by the eunuch to identify himself. The guards did not dare to slack off, and immediately opened the door and let them go.

Inside the palace gate is a stone road 200 meters long and 50 meters wide, with walls on both sides, and a red palace gate at the end. To the south of the wall is the Inner Servant Province, the hall is majestic and magnificent, and its scale is almost the same as that of the Hanguang Palace. To the north is the Academy, and the hall is slightly smaller than that of the Inner Chamberlain.

Yang Hao smiled secretly in his heart, the Daming Palace that the descendants held to the sky is nothing more than that! It's not as good as the Forbidden City in Beijing that I've seen.

The red palace gate is a brick and stone structure, the width of the door is about three zhang, and the depth is also three zhang. Passing through the red gate, the road is straight, and the flowers and trees are verdant, as if you have walked into a large garden. Those flowers and trees have different postures, colorful, both flowery and lively, and the layers are distinct, and there is no sense of pompousness.

"That's kind of interesting." Yang Hao felt a little ashamed of what he thought just now.

A large hall stands majestically among the flowers and trees, the eaves of the corner of the hall are shaped like bird wings and fluttering, solemn and heavy without losing the liveliness and dexterity. Yang Hao couldn't help but ask Wang Chun: "Could this be Hanyuan Palace?" ”

"General Hui, this is the Mingyi Palace." Wang Chun replied with a smile, a ball of harmony.

"What a big spirit." Yang Hao was sincerely amazed.

"Alas, is that Hanyuan Hall over there?" Yang Hao pointed to a large hall in the southeast corner of the flowering green trees.

"General Hui, that's Yanying Palace." Wang Chun replied, "Hanyuan Hall is in the Danfeng Gate, far away from here." ”

Yang Hao felt that he was the grandmother Liu who had just entered the Grand View Garden, rare and strange, stupid and stupid, so he didn't ask and just looked at it with his eyes.

Daming Palace is divided into the former court and the inner courtyard according to its function. Enter by Danfeng Gate, Hanyuan Palace, Xuanzheng Palace, Zichen Hall before and after, form the central axis of the previous dynasty, and the central government offices such as Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province are distributed on both sides of the central axis. In the north, there are dozens of palaces of all sizes centered on the etheric pool, which is the residence area of the emperor and the empress's concubines, called the inner court.

What Yang Hao saw was just the most ordinary corner of the Daming Palace.

Bypass the Mingyi Palace, in front of which is the Jinluan Palace, the Chenghuan Palace, the Zhou Palace, and the Qinghui Pavilion...... One is more chic than the other, and one is more magnificent than the other. Yang Hao felt that his eyes were a little insufficient, and his heart was shocked again and again. Where is this place that should be in the world, this is simply an ethereal and unattainable mirage! Or the reflection of the heavenly palace in the world.

If it weren't for the heavy responsibility, Yang Hao really wanted to stop and slowly feel this dreamlike Daming Palace. Perhaps I traveled through 1,300 years and came to Datang for the amazing moment.
