Just as they were inspecting the corpse of the Rising Sun Dongfang, suddenly an earth-shattering shout erupted from the direction of the palace, and the sound echoed throughout the heavens and the earth like a bell, resounding in everyone's ears.

"Dog Emperor Liu Zong, come out and die!"

"Dog Emperor Liu Zong, come out and die!"

"Come out and die!"

"Who is going to assassinate the emperor? Hey, this voice, it's so familiar. A trace of doubt flashed in Chen Ke'er's eyes.

"It's Brother Feng's voice!" Ziyue Rong's beautiful eyes said happily, and the purple clothes flew away, turning into a phantom and flying towards the palace.

"Ah, yes, it's my brother's voice, it's really my brother's voice." The little girl Chen Keer was overjoyed and hurriedly chased after her.

"Hey, I said you two girls wait for me, it's really two crazy girls, my old man is actually not crazy, you two are crazy girls." The old madman muttered, and immediately began to do light work, and sped away in the direction of the palace.

……

The imperial palace architecture of the Eastern Han Dynasty was extremely grand and standardized.

In order to highlight the supreme authority of the emperor, the palace has a central axis that runs through the north and south of the palace city, on this central axis, according to the ancient system of "sleeping in the front and sleeping in the back", the three major halls (Taihe Palace, Zhonghe Palace, Baohe Palace) that symbolize the center of power are arranged according to the ancient system of "the front and the back", and the three palaces (Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, Kunning Palace) where the emperor and queen live. In the part of its inner court (north of the Qianqing Gate), the left and right sides form a palace where the Emperor Taishang lives - Ningshou Palace, and the palace where the Empress Dowager and the concubine live - Cining Palace as the center, these two secondary axes and the outer dynasty Taihe Gate as the center, and the Wenhua Hall on the left, the Wuying Hall on the right echoes. Between the two secondary axes and the central axis, there are the palace and the palace, followed by the east and west six palaces where the concubines live. For defensive purposes, these palaces were built with walls up to 10 meters high on the perimeter, with corner towers at the four corners and a moat outside.

This central axis not only runs through the Forbidden City, but also reaches Yongding Gate in the south. North to the drum tower, bell tower, throughout the whole city, the spirit is magnificent, the planning is rigorous. Spectacular.

Four gates

The palace has four gates, and the main gate is called the Noon Gate. There are five holes in the noon gate. Its plane is concave and magnificent. After noon, there are five delicate white marble arch bridges leading to the Taihe Gate. The east gate is called Donghua Gate, the west gate is called Xihua Gate, and the north gate is called Shenwu Gate. The four corners of the palace have intricate corner towers. The cross ridge, the triple eaves are stacked on top of each other, the mountains are bright on all sides, and the corners are staggered, and it is a building with a strange structure.

Noon Gate, commonly known as Wufeng Tower. The east, west, and north sides are connected by a 12-meter-high castle platform, surrounding a square square. There is 1 group of buildings. In the middle of the heavy building, is the main hall of 9 face widths, the top of the heavy eaves palace, stretches out on the left and right two city walls. There are four pavilions that are built with the eaves and ridges, the corridors are connected, there are 13 halls in each of the two wings to stretch out to the south, and there are tall corner pavilions in each of the four corners, and the main hall is supplemented by wings. This shape of the gatehouse is called "Que Gate" and is the most superlative form of the gate. This group of buildings in the city is majestic and magnificent, and it is the highest peak in the palace complex. The noon gate is the place where the emperor issued an edict and ordered an expedition. Every time the emperor's decree is read out, the almanac is issued, and the civil and military officials must gather in the square in front of the noon gate to listen to the decree. There are three openings in the noon gate from the south. From the north, there are five door openings, which are considered by the ancients to be more auspicious. In fact, the other two gate openings on the south side are located on the east and west sides of the city wall of the noon gate. The main gate in the noon gate is usually only the emperor can enter and exit, the emperor is married when the queen enters once, and the three people who are the champion, the list eye, and the flower in the palace examination can walk out of this door once. The Minister of Civil Affairs and Military Affairs enters and exits the east side gate. The princes of the clan enter and exit the west gate.

Shenwu Gate, also known as "Xuanwu Gate", Xuanwu is one of the four ancient beasts, from the direction, the left green dragon, the right white tiger. The former Vermilion Bird, the rear Xuanwu, the Xuanwu Lord North, so the north gate of the emperor's palace is named "Xuanwu". Shenwu Gate is also a city gate tower form, with the highest level of heavy eaves hall style roof, but its main hall only has five bays plus a corridor, and there are no two wings that stretch forward from left to right, so it is one level lower than the noon gate in terms of shape.

Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate correspond to each other, there is a lower horse stele stone outside the door, the Jinshui River flows south and north south in the door, there is 1 stone bridge on the upper frame, and the north of the bridge is three gates.

There is a city tower built on the city platform, the yellow glazed tile is heavy on the top of the palace, the city floor is 5 rooms wide, 3 rooms are deep, and the corridor is all around. Among the four gates of the palace, only the regulation of the door nails of the Donghua Gate is different from the other three, and the ancients believed that the odd number is the yang number, and the nine is the yang number. Therefore, the doornails of the other three doors are all "horizontal nine vertical nine", ninety-nine to one, representing the supremacy of imperial power. However, only Donghua Gate is "horizontal nine vertical eight", ** seventy-two is a yin number. This building regulation was adopted because of the Five Elements Doctrine. After the emperor's death, his coffin was transported out of Donghua Gate, so it was commonly known as "Ghost Gate".

Taihe Gate, within the noon gate, there is a vast large courtyard, among which there is an arc-shaped inner Jinshui River across the east and west, the north is the gate of the outer palace - Taihe Gate, there are court rooms and corridors on the left and right. There are 5 bridges on the Jinshui River, equipped with white marble railings, which rotate with the river and resemble a jade belt.

Looking from afar, it is like the mythical Qionggong Immortal. The three layers of the abutment are overlapped, and the upper edge of each layer of platform is decorated with white marble carved railings, pillars and dragon heads, and among the three platforms, there are three layers of stone steps carved with dragons, setting off the "royal road" with waves and flowing clouds.

And this decoration is structurally functional, and it is the drainage pipe of the countertop. Under the balustrade floor, small openings are carved; The dragon head sticking out from under the watchpost also carved small holes. Every rainy season, the rainwater of the three sets is discharged from each small hole layer by layer, and the water flows out from the faucet, and the dragon sprays water, which is spectacular. It's a scientific and artistic design.

The second half of the palace building is called the inner court, which is where the emperor and his concubines live and play.

In the palace of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the warbler sings and dances.

At this moment, Emperor Liu Zong was sitting on the throne of the main hall, sipping fine wine, eating fruits handed by the beauty, squinting sleepily and admiring the wonderful and light dance on the main hall.

"It's strange, Sister Dongfang has been out for so long, why hasn't she come back yet. In the past, someone came to assassinate me, and he destroyed it in a snap of his fingers, but today is a bit long. Emperor Liu Zong muttered to himself.

"Your Majesty, will it be that this assassin is more powerful, I heard that several palaces have been destroyed." A concubine said.

"Cut, you don't know how powerful Sister Dongfang is, no matter how powerful an assassin is, he will die. There are more people who want to kill me these days, and any mud leg on the street may want to tear me up, but so what, they are ants in my eyes. So many people want to kill me, but I'm not living at ease, accompanied by beautiful women every day, eating delicious food and wine, hehe. Emperor Liu Zong said triumphantly.

Suddenly, at this moment—

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and the entire hall suddenly shook violently, like an earthquake, and all the tables and chairs were staggered, followed by a terrible sword slashing down. The entire roof tiles burst open. The dancers in the hall screamed in terror and fled in all directions.

Emperor Liu Zong also looked at the sky with frightened eyes.

The roof of the main hall burst open, and I saw a man in white in the sky covered in black air, as if a demon god had descended, and his cold eyes made Liu Zong feel as cold as if he had entered an ice cellar.

"Where's my Rong'er?" The white-clothed young man said coldly, and the sharp tip of the sword shook and pointed at Emperor Liu Zong.

"Don't kill me, I haven't had enough of it, don't kill me." Emperor Liu Zong trembled: "What Rong'er, I don't know, who are you, I don't seem to know you." You don't want to kill me, I will give you whatever you want. Money? Beauty? Or is it official power? I am powerful, there are countless gold and jewelry in my palace, and there are 300,000 beauties, all of them are first-class beauties, I will give you as much as you want. As long as you don't kill me, I will make you prime minister, prince. Don't kill me. ”

"Hurry up and tell where Rong'er is, or I'll kill you now." Chen Feng said coldly, and a terrifying murderous aura quickly locked onto Emperor Liu Zong.

"I really don't know who Rong'er you're talking about." Emperor Liu Zong said in horror: "I guess that Rong'er must be a beauty, I will compensate you for a beauty, it is a hundred." If you want beautiful women, the beauties on the list of my hundred flowers can also divide the two of you. ”

"The Rong'er I'm talking about is named Ziyue Rong, the daughter of the owner of Peach Blossom Island. You should have the impression that you are locked up somewhere. Chen Feng said coldly.

"The daughter of the owner of Peach Blossom Island, ah! You're talking about that fairy beauty that I have been thinking about for a long time! Emperor Liu Zong was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly said: "No, I didn't detain her." She was rescued. ”

"Really?" Chen Feng's eyes flashed, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Really, I didn't lie to you, it's just that she's an old madman and a sweet-looking little girl. Hehe, it seems that we don't have a holiday, so you don't need to kill me! Emperor Liu Zong breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Hehe, so I'm relieved." Chen Feng breathed a long sigh of relief, and a sneer curled at the corner of his mouth, "But you still have to die, you emperor is guilty, go and die." ”

"Boom!"

The long sword was unsheathed, and the golden sword light flashed.

"Poof!" Bang.

A bewitching blood light bloomed, and Emperor Liu Zong's body fell straight down.

"The Rising Sun East is dead, and so is this faint king. It's all over, the Guwu Continent should restore its proper order, and everything will be fine. It's just that my life is coming to an end. Rong'er, Ling'er, Xiao Zi, Xiao Erhei, Uncle and Yixi, Ye Chen's brothers from the Shenwu Alliance, I hope everyone is doing well, I should go. The corners of Chen Feng's mouth were extremely bitter, he felt that his vitality was passing rapidly, and the power in his body was also disappearing rapidly.

Chen Feng looked at the sky, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the sky red in the clouds, leaving a lot of reluctance and nostalgia.

His head was dizzy, Chen Feng's face turned pale, and he sent out the little trace of Yuan Force that he had left, and flew towards the sky. Time was running out, and he had to find a quiet place to wait for death to come before the oil ran out. (To be continued.) )
