Dali Dynasty, Atrium City, Chengze Palace

As the imperial palace of the Great Li Dynasty, Chengze Palace was formerly the imperial palace of the Great Wei Kingdom.

From the most powerful Great Wei during the period of the Ten Kingdoms for hegemony, to the present Dali who has won the Central Plains, the Chengze Palace, as the representative of the royal face, has been renovated and expanded for hundreds of years, and its grandeur can be imagined.

Don't say anything else, in terms of floor area alone, the area of a Chengze palace in Dali is almost equal to the size of Xijing City, the capital of the Great Qianguo!

Of course, even this does not fully represent the size of the Chengze Imperial Palace, after all, the imperial palace of the Daxing Dynasty is also nearly half the size.

If you really want to talk about it, it can only be said that the big cadres are too poor, the country is too small, and as for the palace...... That's not to mention.

Therefore, strictly speaking, this can no longer be simply described as 'palace'.

The entire Chengze Palace can be called a city within a city, a country within a country!

There are not only inner palaces and outer palaces, but there are also inner palaces in the inner palace - forbidden palaces!

As the name suggests, this forbidden palace is actually the residence of the supreme ruler of the Dali Dynasty, the Holy Emperor of the Apocalypse, and his three thousand concubines.

In addition, the number of slaves and eunuchs raised in the forbidden palace is as high as tens of thousands!

So many people live and travel in this forbidden palace, so it can be imagined that this forbidden palace occupies a large area.

But such a huge royal forbidden palace is only a small part of the Chengze Palace.

The inner palace outside the forbidden palace is a place where the forbidden army is stationed and trained, as well as various craftsmen, ironwood workshops, cloth workshops, jewelry workshops, etc.

Here, he is responsible for the guard duties of the entire Forbidden Palace and the Inner Palace, and must meet all the needs of the Forbidden Palace and the Inner Palace.

It is no exaggeration to say that this forbidden palace and inner palace alone, if they are unfortunately besieged by the army, they can resist for at least two to three months, hold out until the reinforcements arrive, and the people living in them can still have no worries about food and clothing!

As for the outer palace outside the inner palace, it is also called the outer court and the outer court, which is the political center and administrative center of the entire Dali!

The most important places for foreign government affairs, such as court meetings, worship to the heavens, the official residences of the six ministries, and central documents, are all here!

Therefore, under the continuous repair and expansion of generations of monarchs, the Chengze Palace of the Dali Dynasty has almost brought together the highest architectural skills of the entire Central Plains civilization, and has become a masterpiece representing the Central Plains culture!

When the barbarians of all generations were summoned to this place, their hearts were shaken, their hearts were shocked, and they couldn't help but weaken their knees, and knelt in front of the main hall!

Of course, such a magnificent and large-scale royal palace is extremely inconvenient to travel.

It's so big that it has to be on horseback!

Every morning in the court, civil and military officials need to take a sedan chair into the palace to go to the court, otherwise if there is no carriage as a means of transportation, just by manpower to walk to the court, a little older important ministers and officials are completely likely to be tired on the road to the court.

But even so, the seemingly never-ending rows of steps in front of the Fengtian Hall, the towering hall of the court meeting, are enough to make anyone who has passed the age of sixteen doubt life.

Therefore, if you want to be an official in the center of Dali, you still need to have an extremely strong body.

However, for the civil and military officials of Da Li, what has been a little fortunate in recent years is that due to the old age and illness of the Holy Emperor of the Apocalypse, and his physical strength is exhausted, the daily court meetings in previous years have often been postponed and cancelled.

From the beginning of the two-day meeting, it gradually evolved to the later three-day, and even the four-day meeting, until now, it is almost seven days to have a court meeting!

The entire government affairs of Dali are almost completely controlled by the cabinet composed of important ministers of the country!

As the prime minister of Da Li, Han Yu naturally ranks first in the cabinet, is the first assistant to the cabinet, can be called a supreme minister, and has reached the pinnacle that Da Li's ministers can achieve!

……

Today, the magnificent and silent Chengze Palace has still not held a court meeting.

It stands to reason that central ministers, such as cabinet elders and officials of the six ministries, should go to their respective residences as a regular to handle today's government affairs.

But at this moment, there was a four-driver official car that unexpectedly came to the gate of the inner palace......

"Stop! Who's coming?! ”

The four-horse-drawn official car slowly stopped in front of it, and just now a guard stepped forward to interrogate, but instantly saw a golden token appear in front of him!

"This?!"

Just one glance, the guards were suddenly shocked, and immediately knelt on the ground, exclaiming in surprise!

"The villain has no eyes and no beads, and has no intention of colliding with the adult! I hope that you will forgive your sins!! ”

The car was silent, as if it was disdainful, but the moment the palace door slowly opened, it drove in with a bang.

"Do you see clearly? But the Holy Decree of the Apocalypse?! ”

Looking at the official car getting farther and farther, only then did several guards dare to discuss it in a whisper.

"Not bad! That's the Apocalypse Decree! ”

The guard didn't dare to stand up slowly until this time, but he watched the official car go farther and farther away, and his mind was still flashing with Fang Cai's apocalypse holy decree that was clearly shaking, shining with golden light, and the word 'Apocalypse' written on it!

He never imagined that he would be lucky enough to see such a legendary Holy Emperor in his lifetime!

It must be known that this Holy Decree of the Apocalypse is only a personal decree of the Holy Emperor specially promulgated by the Holy Emperor of the Apocalypse to reward those few ministers who have made great contributions to the Dali Dynasty when the Great Li Dynasty was founded!

With this pro-order, it is like facing the Holy Emperor!

In addition, what is more important is this Apocalypse Holy Order, not only can you hold the order to meet the Apocalypse Holy Emperor at any time, but you can also make any request to the Apocalypse Holy Emperor at will!

Generally speaking, most of the Holy Emperors will agree to the requests made by such founding ministers as appropriate, and even let their descendants not be selected through the inspection system such as Jumaocai, but can also be personally cut off by the Holy Emperor Chrysostom and go straight to the center!

In addition, this heavenly apocalypse decree can forgive all major sins except for rebellion, and can protect future generations for a lifetime!

And since the founding of the country, this kind of apocalypse holy decree has never been honored by anyone, and it has not appeared for a long time, and it has almost become a legendary and mysterious thing in the Great Li Kingdom.

After all, such a treasure is too important for the clan inheritance!

If it is really a last resort, who would want to waste such a life-saving relic given by the Holy Emperor himself?

But today, these little guards guarding the palace are fortunate to see such legendary holy relics......

First Appearance!!

……

Chengze Palace, Huangji Palace

This carriage passed through the customs continuously, all the way from the inner palace to the forbidden palace, and then slowly stopped from the forbidden palace to the imperial palace where the Holy Emperor of the Apocalypse dealt with government affairs.

"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"

Han Yu, the prime minister of the country with a suddenly old look, immediately got out of the car slowly with the support of the servants, although his steps were slightly sluggish, but his figure was still upright.

In recent days, his condition began to deteriorate suddenly.

Han Yu understands that his end is approaching, but he doesn't want to die easily, but he must settle everything before he dies!

Therefore, today he specially held the Holy Order of the Apocalypse and came to meet the Holy Emperor of the Apocalypse, just to complete the last thing in his life, but it was extremely important!

"My lord, Your Majesty is not in the Imperial Palace today......"

However, when he came to the front of the palace with his body bold, he learned from the inner prison guard standing at the door that His Majesty was not in the imperial palace today.

“…… All right. ”

Han Yu was silent for a long time, then sighed, and had to turn around and return to the sedan car, dragging a slightly old voice, and instructed the coachman.

"Let's go to Ziwei Palace......"

"Whoa."

The driver immediately applauded, slowly drove the official car, and went straight to Weiyang.

This Ziwei Palace is the place where the Holy Emperor of the Apocalypse lives and rests, and Han Yu was unwilling to come here to report such an important matter to His Majesty.

However, in recent years, His Majesty has become more and more alienated from government affairs and does not care about court affairs.

Instead, a cabinet was formed, and all the major matters of governing the country were handed over to a group of important ministers and elders.

The sudden seizure of power in the cabinet made the partisan struggle between the DPRK and China more and more intense, but fortunately, he, the founding father, presided over the overall situation as the prime minister, and this great temple did not cause any turmoil.

On the contrary, Da Li, who occupied the rich three states of the Central Plains, became more and more prosperous compared to the former Great Wei State.

Therefore, the government and the opposition all recognized that the Holy Emperor of the Apocalypse's act of delegating power was indeed the great wisdom of governing the country!

But only Han Yu understands in his heart that behind the prosperity of Dali, there are many hidden dangers such as party conquest, eunuchs in power, people who slap beards and horses, and people who work hard to prosper the country are squeezed out!

Think about the huge Dali Dynasty, but there is no suitable person who can be qualified for the position of prime minister!

How can he sleep peacefully?

Therefore, he has always been at ease in his heart, if he really dies, His Majesty will indulge in pleasure, ignore the government, and let the traitorous eunuchs control the government and attack each other!

Then the great Li Dynasty's hard work to build the country, not to mention the annexation of the great unification, I am afraid that in such a troubled world, it is difficult to even protect itself!

Under such circumstances, Han Yu will take the initiative to search for talents, hoping to find a real talent to govern the world, replace himself as the prime minister of Dali, and lead Dali to become rich and strong, and unify Kyushu!

And now!

After several years of painstaking searching, and after a long period of careful research and in-depth understanding, he finally discovered this rare pearl in the world - Wei Ying!

Today, he did not hesitate to hold the Holy Order of the Apocalypse, just to enter the palace to face the saint, and strongly recommend Wei Ying to His Majesty, as the Minister of State of Dali and the post of the first assistant of the cabinet!!

……

"Chengze Palace, starting from the Great Wei Dynasty, has lasted for hundreds of years!

Inheriting the grace of heaven is for Chengze.

It covers an area of thousands of acres, with more than 100 large and small palaces and nearly 10,000 houses!

The scale of Chengze Palace is large, the style is unique, the craftsmanship is exquisite, the layout is magnificent, the furnishings are gorgeous, the architecture is brilliant, and the momentum is magnificent.

However, such a treasure of the Central Plains civilization was destroyed by the hands of the barbarians and burned to the ground, which is really the anger of people and gods! ”
