Daxing Palace is generally divided into three parts, the central part of the Imperial Palace, the west side is the service supply part and the workshop Yeting Palace, and the east side is the East Palace of the Prince. Its area is about five times the size of the Forbidden City in Beijing.

The main hall in the palace is the Daxing Palace, also commonly known as the Jinluan Palace, behind the palace is the first east-west horizontal street in the palace, and it is also the dividing line between the court area and the sleeping area. The north of the horizontal street is the sleeping area, the middle is the Liangyi Gate, and the door is the main hall of the sleeping area, and the rectangular palace is surrounded by the corridor.

After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the ritual system was in accordance with the old system of the Han and Wei dynasties, and it was mostly based on the Zhou rites. The palace is divided into three parts: the court area, the sleeping area, and the garden. The court area is divided into the outer court, the middle court, and the inner court, and the Daxing Hall of the Jinluan Hall is actually only the inner court. The court area is an office area for handling state affairs and holding ceremonies, symbolizing state power; The dormitory was the residence of the emperor and represented the imperial power of the family. The south of the court area is the main gate of the palace city, Chengtianmen, here is the place where the New Year's Day, the winter solstice is held and other ceremonies, which is equivalent to the great dynasty or foreign dynasty of the palace of the Zhou Dynasty, in the national etiquette system, this is the most important place in the palace etiquette. On the left and right outside the Chengtian Gate, there is a tall double que, and outside the que is the outer court.

And the Daxing Palace, in fact, belongs to the Chinese Dynasty in terms of etiquette, and is the place where the emperor holds the Shuowang Dynasty meeting on the first and fifteenth days of the first month, except for the first and fifteenth days of the new year, except for special reasons, in fact, the emperor is not here to listen to the government. The real place where the emperor usually listens to the government is in the inner court, that is, the main hall and the two yi halls in the two yi gates behind the Daxing Palace. In normal times, the emperor summoned important ministers, and basically listened to political deliberations in the Liangyi Palace. To the east of the Liangyi Hall is the Wanchun Palace. The west side is the Qianqiu Palace, these three halls each have a palace gate, and they are surrounded by a huge palace courtyard. Three halls side by side. In the north of the three halls is the second east-west horizontal street in the palace, the east of the street is the Rihua Gate, the west of the street is the Yuehua Gate, and the north of the horizontal street is the dormitory where the concubines live, and the courtiers and so on can not enter. The main hall of this part is the Manna Hall, the East Hall of the Divine Dragon, and the Hall of Anren. Similarly, the three halls are juxtaposed, with the manna hall as the main one. Each has a hall, a porch, and a courtyard forms a palace. There are two columns in front and back, and the hall of each row is the core of the dormitory, which is closed by a wall, and the two halls of ritual and the hall of manna are similar in nature to the front hall and the back hall of the general mansion. The north of the manna hall is the garden. There are pavilions and ponds, and the north of it is the north wall of the palace, and there is a Xuanwu gate leading to the outside of the palace.

To put it bluntly, the three palace groups of Daxing Palace, Liangyi Hall and Ganlu Hall are actually equivalent to the front hall, study and bedroom of Yang Jian, the son of heaven.

On the New Day and the winter solstice, Yang Jian held a grand court meeting in the outer court hall of Chengtianmen Shuangque, and held a ceremony here at a special time. And on the fifteenth day of the first month, it was to listen to the government in the Daxing Palace. In normal times, it is to listen to the government in the Liangyi Palace.

But if it's a normal office. Yang Jian was more likely to review and handle government affairs in the Manna Palace. The main hall is full of books, and there are many unique scriptures that have been collected in the late Han Dynasty, when China began to go through a long and chaotic era of division. The Han nation fell into hundreds of years of fighting and war, the Spring and Autumn Period, most of the cultural classics of the Han Dynasty were destroyed in the fire, three years after the emperor's opening, Yang Jian issued an edict to ask for a book, offering a book to reward a silk horse, and for a time the folk books were different. often intermittently, after more than ten years. The imperial court had more than 300,000 volumes and more than 7,000 types of books. Yang Jian deliberately built a Guanwen Hall to store books, but these books in the Ganlu Hall are not folk books, these books are more delicate, white and meticulous, the printing is more exquisite, the handwriting is clear and the ink is clean, especially the binding method is very novel and chic, but far better than before. The types of books are even more complex, such as Buddhist scriptures, poetry classics, Zhou Yi Chunqiu, poems and songs, legendary novels and so on. At this time, in the Hall of Manna Hall, the mahogany bookshelves that filled the walls on both sides were all stacked with these exquisite books. And these books were all dedicated by Yang Lin, the eldest grandson of the newly canonized Emperor of Zhao.

After the emperor's grandson Yang Lin entered Beijing, he offered two things to the Son of Heaven, one is 10,000 fine war horses in the north of the Saiwai Desert, and the other is 10,000 exquisite books printed in this Huaihuang. Although he did not offer a tael of gold and silver or a string of five baht to the Son of Heaven, Yang Jian was very happy with these two gifts.

10,000 new books are on the new shelves of the Manna Palace, and although the affairs are busy, there are many traces of reading the books. In the corner of the huge imperial case, there is also an open Romance of the Three Kingdoms, showing that the owner has recently read this strange novel signed by the author Yi Feng. On the front wall after the huge case, there is a large blackboard plaque with gold and gold, and there are four big characters on it, which is written by the Son of Heaven after moving the capital to Daxing, and has been hanging here, always warning the Son of Heaven to be diligent in his government. And he did just that, every day when it was still dark and he started to get up to take care of the government, and when he was busy every day, he often couldn't eat on time.

According to the rules, the Ganlu Hall is actually the emperor's bedroom, and foreign ministers are not allowed to trespass, even the harem concubines are not allowed to trespass without a will. However, Yang Jian was sometimes busy, and he couldn't care about those, so he often summoned important ministers and dignitaries from the three provinces, six departments, five Taiwans, nine temples and twelve guards to come to the palace and directly inquire about military and political affairs here. Sometimes he was so busy that he didn't even have time to go to the dormitory of the harem concubines, so he directly called Chen and Cai to come to serve. However, the status of Queen Dugu in the palace is clear, but there is no need to abide by these systems, and Queen Dugu, who lives in the Lizheng Palace, often comes directly when she has something to find the emperor.

Although it is the season of the wax moon, but the palace burns the copper basin charcoal fire, and even when the palace is built, there is a special flue left in the wall, the fire is lit outside, and the smoke goes to the wall, although the cold winter wax moon, the palace is also warm as spring.

Although today is not the day of the Shuowang Dynasty, but today I worshiped the marshal of the Northern Expedition and the general manager of the marching army, and also officially worshiped the eldest grandson Yang Lin as the king of Zhao, Shangzhuguo, Sikong, Yongzhou Mu and Youzhou governor, therefore, today's court meeting is the opening of the Daxing Hall of the Chinese Dynasty. At this time, the court discussion was over, Yang Jian returned directly to the Manna Palace, and as soon as he sat down, Wang Hai, the inner servant of the province, immediately summoned the imperial dining room to prepare snacks. The imperial dining room on call at any time moved quickly, and soon there were more than a dozen refreshments on the table. If it was ten years earlier, such refreshments would definitely be reprimanded as luxury by Yang Jian, but in the past few years, Yang Jian has become older and older, although he does not seek luxury everywhere for life. But he no longer insists on frugality. Yang Jian, who had been tossing for most of the day, was already hungry. The little eunuch added a bowl of eight-treasure porridge with dates and wolfberries and held it, and Yang Jian took it and drank it. Drink a bowl of porridge in three or five strokes. As soon as I entered the lower bowl, I caught a glimpse of a crystal clear white porcelain bottle on the table, and through the thin and crystal clear wall of the bottle, I could clearly see that the bottle contained a purple liquid.

"What is this?" Yang Jian asked.

The little eunuch replied truthfully, "Returning to the Supreme, this is the purple wine sent by the queen to the imperial dining room, saying that it is to be fed to the Supreme when the meal is passed." ”

"Purple wine?" Yang Jian asked suspiciously. The imperial court banned smuggling for two years, but it did not really ban drinking. Just to save food, in fact, the imperial court still has an official brewery specializing in winemaking. However, there are tribute wine from all over the palace and imperial wine in the palace, but this purple wine has never been seen, not to mention that it was actually brought by the queen.

The little eunuch is just doing things. Where do I know so much, I was stunned for a while, I didn't know how to answer, and my head immediately sweated. Seeing this, Wang Hai hurriedly stepped forward and opened the wooden race, and suddenly a mellow fragrance spread, and even Yang Guang couldn't help but be a little intoxicated by this mellowness, and waved his hand to signal Wang Hai to pour wine. Wang Hai took a luminous cup and poured a glass of wine for Yang Jian. However, after pouring it, he specially picked up the wine glass and shook it for a while before holding it in front of Yang Jian. Seeing Yang Jianmian, he had questions. Busy said: "The queen sent this purple wine, it is to use the best mulberry fruit, using the latest wine-making technology to brew, this wine has been not ordinary grain wine, although the mulberry fruit and rice and wheat are used, but listen to the palace imperial doctors to study it." This purple wine not only has a more mellow taste, but also has a charming aroma. And the taste is excellent, and the most precious thing is that this wine also has the function of health preservation, which is really a good medicine. It has many effects such as nourishing yin and nourishing the kidney, nourishing blood and rejuvenating the skin, preventing loss of black life, treating joint pain, treating constipation, stomach disease, detoxification and so on. This wine is very valuable, and it needs a special step before drinking, that is, it must be decanted first. After sobering up, drink it again, the taste is better. Wang Hai, like an excellent salesman, seized the opportunity to sell to Yang Jian.

Hearing what Wang Hai said was so magical, and this wine was sent by the queen and recommended by the imperial doctor, Yang Jian couldn't help but be very interested. He raised his glass and looked at it for a long time, and saw that the wine was purple and full of aroma, and just looking at the appearance and smelling it, it was indeed quite good. Put it in front of your nose and smell it a few times, take a deep breath, savor it, and then put it to your lips and take a small sip.

As soon as the wine entered his throat, he immediately realized that this wine was different from ordinary wine, first of all, it was much stronger than the original wine. But this wine is strong, but it is not rushing or choking, after swallowing, and then savoring, you can immediately feel that with the strength of the wine rises there is also a pure taste, as well as a clear color, accompanied by the overflowing aroma is a strong aroma mellow, soft and dry. Although Yang Jian is not the emperor who immediately fights the world, the Yang family is also a military aristocrat in Guanlong, and the Guanlong region advocates martial arts, and his personality is also quite heroic, so this kind of purple wine with a little momentum makes Yang Jian like it all of a sudden.

"Good wine! One more drink! Yang Jian tasted a glass of wine and had bottomed out, and when there was a red light on his face, he applauded loudly, and Wang Hai was full again.

Wang Hai poured another cup for Yang Jian, "The sage has instructed, although the purple wine is good, don't be greedy for a cup, three cups at a time is the most, no matter how much, it will be too much, and it will be too late." "Queen Lonely and Yang Jian, the Son of Heaven, are called the two saints in the palace, and what the queen says is sometimes even more effective than the emperor in the palace.

"This wine is really made of mulberry fruit, no grain?" Yang Jian slowed down and tasted slowly, the queen confessed that he could only drink three cups, and he planned to drink only three cups. However, he immediately thought of a problem, wine is a fairly good commodity, but wine consumes grain, now that the Great Sui and the Turks will start a war, the demand for food is greater, at this time he can't waste precious food because of wine.

"This wine is King Zhao's tribute palace, King Zhao in addition to the tribute purple wine, in addition to a variety of treasures, according to King Zhao, most of these wines are made with a variety of fruits as the main ingredients, only a small amount of sorghum is added to the preparation."

Yang Jian heard that the wine was paid tribute by Yang Lin, and nodded thoughtfully, Yang Lin was making wine, and the scale of brewing was still very large, Yang Jian actually knew about this. Especially after Yang Liang had a bad relationship with Yang Lin because of Huaihuang's winery, he sent someone to investigate the matter in depth, and he also learned more about Huaihuang's brewing and selling wine. He knew that Huaihuang's winery was actually a moonshine winery. The production capacity of Huaihuang, a smuggling and illegal winery, is quite large, and it is reported that it can produce more than 100,000 catties of wine per day. In addition, the quality of Huaihuang's sake is excellent, and it is very popular. Every day, countless merchants go to Huaihuang to buy wine. There is even a phenomenon that there is no market for prices, and the supply exceeds demand, and even their order orders have been speculated, and they have become a kind of "commodity" that businessmen are vying to trade. It was precisely because of this that Yang Liang wanted to seize Yang Lin's property, but he was rejected by his eldest grandson without mercy. Originally, he was still a little angry, but Yang Liang took it by skill. It is very hateful to even take away his own person, but Yang Lin is the eldest grandson of the emperor. Ignoring the decree, he secretly brewed and sold wine, and before the current war between the imperial court and the north, a large amount of grain was consumed to make wine and sell at this time. It is also a practice that does not have a big picture. But after an in-depth investigation, it was found that Yanglin brewed wine, but did not consume much food, which is a very unbelievable result, but the fact is that Yanglin has a special recipe, which is brewed with fruit, and can be directly mixed with water. Only a very small amount of sorghum for livestock can be used, plus fruit, and then blended. You can make a huge supply of extremely popular sake. Although he couldn't understand how Yang Lin conjured up this trick, since Yang Lin didn't waste food in brewing, then Yang Jian turned a blind eye. Yang Lin is the eldest grandson of the emperor, he is guarding in Huaihuang, and the imperial court has never pulled out military salaries, grain and grass, and he himself needs money and food. If it is an ordinary courtier. Yang Jian can already be condemned on this basis, but since he is the emperor's grandson. It's just a trivial thing.

At this time, Yang Jian was indeed very surprised to taste the miraculous wine produced without grain in Huaihuang.

"This Sumeru, this is not a proper business. The eldest grandson of the dignified royal family actually went to make wine and sell it. From now on, he is the king of Yipin Zhao, and the governor of Youzhou, and this time he was appointed as the governor of the Eastern Road of the Northern Expedition to the Turks, and I have high hopes for him, hoping that he can do more serious things in the future and share more burdens for me. As he spoke, Yang Jian's eyebrows couldn't help but rise, and at this time, he was actually still unsure in his heart, this time he held Yang Lin so high and awarded a heavy task, to use this imperial grandson to calm the increasingly urgent and fierce contradictions between the prince of the court and the king of Jin. I hope it can work, and the Turkic war is imminent, this will be a big war related to the lifeblood of the Great Sui State, he must use the whole country with all his heart, unite with the outside world, and must not be in internal strife at this time. After the failure of the Eastern Crusade, he thought about it for a long time, and finally believed that there was a very serious reason for the failure of the Eastern Crusade, that is, because of the contradictions between the princes, the princes, the Jin king, and the Han king, which greatly affected the outcome of this battle, and led to the defeat of the Eastern Crusade. After losing the battle of the Eastern Crusade, the Great Sui was only slightly injured, and the Great Sui still endured it. However, in the battle against the Turks, the Great Sui could only win, not lose, and could not afford to lose.

At this time, no matter what, what he has to do is to suppress the internal struggle in the DPRK and fight this battle well first. But he also knew that the prince was incompetent, although he had Gao Gong and others to help, but the struggle between the princeling party and the Jin Wang party became clearer and clearer, and it was obvious that the Jin Wang party had completely suppressed the prince's party, and if he didn't interfere again, he was afraid that the time would be out of control, and the court would have to change greatly. In order to avoid chaos in the DPRK and China at this critical time, Yang Jian could only temporarily stop the original intention of changing his reserves.

Even in order to suppress the Jin Wang party, he had to put the eldest grandson of the crown prince and Yang Lin, the eldest grandson of the emperor, in a very high-profile manner at this time. The title of King Zhao, worship of the Zhu Kingdom, Jin Sikong, the granting of Yongzhou Mu, and even the addition of the general manager of Youzhou are actually just to use Yang Lin to strengthen the strength of the princelings, to temporarily suppress the Jin royal lineage, and to enhance the balance within the court.

This move is bold, after all, Yang Lin has returned to the dynasty for less than half a month, and he has returned to the sect for less than half a year, such a grandson of the emperor is actually not heavy, but at this time, Yang Jian really has no better chips. Originally, it was also his idea to abolish the reserve and replace the heir, but who knew that at the last critical time, the Turks rushed to intervene again, especially after the defeat of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, Yang Jian had to be cautious. At this time, the matter of changing the reserve had to be suspended, and in turn, the king of Jin had to be suppressed. Originally, Yang Jian wanted to use Yang Liang, the king of Han, to suppress the king of Jin and balance the forces. But Yang Liang, the youngest son of the Han King, greatly disappointed Yang Jian.

Even this time, he actually didn't want Yang Guang to be in command, he wanted to use the prince to be in command, use Gao Gong to command the army, and then let the three princes of Han, Shu and Jin each serve as the nominal commander of the army, but in the end, the prince Han Wang was not as good as one, and they were all cowardly at a critical time. In the end, he had to let Yang Guanglai serve as the commander of the army. The unbearable use of the King of Han made Yang Jian have to turn to push Yang Lin to the front of the stage, and borrow the name of Yang Lin's eldest grandson and the eldest son of Donggong to confront King Jin. Even in the end, in order to strengthen the weight of Yang Lin's bargaining chip, he not only named Yang Lin as the king, but also named Sikong, Shangzhuguo, and Yongzhou Mu, and even finally set up a separate Youzhou governor of Yang Liang's 11 states in the northeast of Taihang, plus the newly planned 21 states of Sanfan.

He has already done everything he can do, and the rest depends on Yang Lin. (To be continued)
