Chapter 108: Murder of her husband
"Then you have to hold my hand and walk together, I will be motivated!" Nie Xinyuan was not polite at all, and took Wu Ye'er's little hand very naturally.
The two laughed and continued to walk forward, this time Nie Xinyuan was not tired, and it didn't take long to reach the destination.
When he arrived at the ticket office at noon, Nie Xinyuan directly took out his mobile phone to scan the code to buy tickets, and then pulled Wu Ye'er to wait in line for the time to open the door.
Wu Ye'er couldn't help but sigh: "It's not time to open the door yet, so many people have gathered?" It's almost more crowded than Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street in peak season! ”
"Isn't it, there are a lot of tourists who usually come to the Forbidden City for sightseeing, and on weekends and statutory holidays, it is even more crowded, and if you take a photo, it is a group photo of hundreds of people." Nie Xinyuan teased with a smile.
"Who doesn't want to come to the palace to increase their knowledge, just this ticket office, you can see the royal style, not to mention the halls inside!" Wu Ye'er said with some expectation.
"Xiao Ye'er, do you know, where is this?" Nie Xinyuan asked.
"Ticket office, I'm not a fool!" Wu Ye'er had an expression that you asked knowingly.
"Do you usually see palace dramas? The emperor inside will say that he will launch the noon gate and behead him, but this is the noon gate! But ah, the TV series is just for fun, the emperor is the most superstitious, how can he really kill people at the gate of his palace? The real place of decapitation is at Caishikou. "Nie Xinyuan became a tour guide very responsibly.
"Really? So why is this place called the noon gate? It doesn't sound spectacular at all! Wu Ye'er asked.
"Haha, let's have a role swap today, I'll be the master, and I'll give you some popular science, okay?" Nie Xinyuan said proudly.
"Less nonsense, hurry up!" Wu Ye'er stretched out her claws again and pinched Nie Xinyuan.
"Because in ancient China, the twelve earthly branches were used to indicate the direction, the 'son' is due north, the 'noon' is due south, and the noon gate is the main gate of the Forbidden City, located on the north-south axis of the Forbidden City, it is called the noon gate, and you can also understand it as the meaning of the south gate!" Nie Xinyuan was afraid that Wu Ye'er would give him another time, so he hurriedly explained obediently.
"Yes, I thought Nie Dashao was just rolling in a pile of fat powder, but I didn't expect that there was still some knowledge! More than Zhu Zhu, who has watched palace dramas all day long, knows more than that! Wu Ye'er praised.
Nie Xinyuan's cold sweat was about to come down, and he looked at Wu Ye'er pitifully and said, "Xiao Ye'er, are you sure you're really praising me, not scolding me?" ”
"Guess!" When the time came to open the palace door, Wu Ye'er said this, and walked forward with a smile.
After the noon gate is the Jinshui Bridge, after the Jinshui Bridge is the Taihe Gate, there is a huge open space after entering the Taihe Gate, and then naturally it is the Taihe Palace. Guide Nie explained very seriously and responsibly: "In the Forbidden City, there is a door first and then a hall, and this Taihe Hall is commonly known as the Jinluan Hall in the TV series, which is the place where the emperor holds major ceremonies. ”
"Is that where the emperor went to court?" Wu Ye'er asked.
"Silly girl, have you watched too many bloody TV series? It is said that it is a place where major ceremonies are held, such as the emperor's enthronement, the emperor's birthday, and the big wedding, New Year's Day, etc., which cannot be held several times a year. The emperor's court is generally in Qianqingmen, but the Qing Dynasty has a long history, and the places where the emperors of all dynasties went to court are not exactly the same. Nie Xinyuan said.
"Oh! Sure enough, the TV series is not very reliable, I still remember watching a TV series when I was very young, and there was a lyric in the theme song, that is: 'Jinwa Jinluan Palace, the emperor does not sit in the palace, once he goes out of the noon gate, one nose and two hands. I always thought that the emperor was sitting in the Jinluan Palace! By the way, such a big square, how come there is not even a tree, bare. ”
Guide Nie continued to explain: "Well, there are several theories, one is that in order to prevent assassins, if there is a person who wants to assassinate the emperor hidden in the tall canopy, it is not easy to find out, so simply do not plant trees, so that the assassins have nothing to hide. And speaking of guarding against assassins, do you see the ground beneath our feet? Fifteen layers of bricks were laid horizontally and vertically, just for fear that an assassin would steal into the palace through the tunnel. ”
"And what's the other way to say that?" Wu Ye'er turned into a curious baby and asked.
"That's to preserve the royal majesty! You think, if there are trees, they attract a lot of birds, right? Whether the emperor holds a major ceremony or the court, it is a very serious matter, if a bird flies over his head at this time, it happens that a piece of bird poop comes up above the head of the emperor or minister, what kind of system! Even if there is no such coincidence, the emperor is speaking above, and the birds are chirping overhead, wouldn't it ruin the solemn atmosphere of the court! Nie Xinyuan said seriously.
Wu Ye'er didn't expect another reason to be this, and asked with a smile: "What you said is true or false?" You can't make it up, right? ”
"If I had the talent to make up that story, I would write it, who is still here to manage the company for my father, who only knows how to accompany his daughter-in-law!" Nie Xinyuan complained about the pair of parents who showed affection all day long.
"Okay, I trust you!" Wu Ye'er said with a smile.
"There is another saying, that is, the Five Elements Theory, the ancient Chinese emperor belonged to the earth in the Five Elements, but Muketu was not? Of course, the emperor will not be idle, and he will get a few trees to restrain himself! And I'll find a map to show you, the base of the Taihe Palace, the Zhonghe Hall and the Baohe Hall is a 'soil' word that sits in the north and faces south, and it is even more restrained with the wood. Nie Xinyuan continued.
"I'll go, that's okay? Well, it's still the ancestors who pay attention to it! "Wu Ye'er really admires the designer of this palace, and such a detailed question can be imagined.
"Xiao Ye'er, can I discuss something with you?" Nie Xinyuan said with a flattering smile.
Wu Ye'er didn't eat his set, and asked, "Let's talk about it first!" ”
"Alas, you don't know, I had a hard time when I was a child, I ate dog food when I saw the sky, and now I also have a daughter-in-law, you have to help me take revenge!" Nie Xinyuan said happily.
"It's so beautiful that you're bubbling! You'd better be your tour guide! Maybe I'll be happy for the teacher and give you a tip! Wu Ye'er said with a smile.
"I'm so miserable! I knew you loved to listen to this so much, and I should have asked you a tour guide when I walked in. Nie Xinyuan complained.
Wu Ye'er smiled brightly and said, "It's not too late to go back now, it's best to find a handsome guy and look good!" ”
"Yes, I'll explain it to you in person, those tour guides are all flamboyant, I'm afraid that the Forbidden City won't finish the tour, and then my daughter-in-law will be abducted, so who should I cry to?" Nie Xinyuan made a very exaggerated look, which made Wu Ye'er laugh.
This Taihe Hall is the largest palace in the Forbidden City, and after laughing, Wu Ye'er still observed this magnificent building very carefully. Different from the private houses of the people, this Taihe Hall is a roof with five ridges and four slopes, and there are ten different beasts at the eaves corner. Looking at the inside of the Taihe Palace, there are dozens of large pillars with a diameter of almost one meter thick, and six of them surround the throne are the dragon pillars painted with gold paint. In the middle of the main hall is the throne of a carved dragon in gold lacquer, and behind it is a huge carved dragon screen. The decoration of the entire hall is resplendent and solemn and gorgeous, which makes Wu Ye'er breathtaking, and constantly sighs at the luxury of the palace.
Nie Xinyuan said with a smile on the side: "The luxury of this Taihe Hall is not only what you see, but also the ground that is the most easy to ignore, this ground is paved with gold bricks, although it is not really made of gold, but this value is almost the same as gold." It is said that this brick needs to be fired for eight months, and the more difficult thing is to use all kinds of firewood and grass to burn for more than 100 days, and then soak it in tung oil for 100 days. It also needs to be 'knocked with a sound, broken without holes' to be adopted by the royal family. This brick is not astringent or slippery, strong and wear-resistant, and the more it is grinded, the brighter it becomes, but unfortunately this hall has long been closed to people, and we are not blessed to step on it to feel it. ”
Wu Ye'er was shocked when she heard it, a small square brick had to be made so complicated, the ancient emperors would really enjoy it, compared to this, his Wu family's mansion was like a thatched house in the countryside.
"It's a pity that it's not the rainy season, Ye'er, do you see the faucets under these railings? When the rainy season comes, I will bring you over again to let you see the wonders of a thousand dragons spitting water. Nie Xinyuan said.
"Okay!" Wu Ye'er said, and remembered that there was still no house in his secret world, so it was necessary for him to take a good look at these buildings, go back and get a palace with a similar style, and experience the enjoyment of the emperor himself.
"Little girl, what are you thinking? How can you be distracted? Nie Xinyuan asked.
"Hehe, I'm thinking, you say, if there is such a big hall in my secret world, then this gold brick can be stepped on casually! What is the wonder of a thousand dragons spitting water, but also if you want to see it! Wu Ye'er had a look on her face.
Nie Xinyuan didn't know what kind of abilities Wu Ye'er had in the secret world, so he said with a smile: "Think too much, right?" Don't say you don't have these materials, even if you do, who do you find to build for you? ”
Wu Ye'er snickered in her heart, she didn't tell him, she would try it when she went back in the evening, if it really worked, she would be able to give him a surprise when she took him in the future!
The two continued to walk forward, Wu Ye'er was actually not very interested in these places where the emperor went to the court and met the courtiers, but was anxious to see what the harem was like, whether it was the same as in the TV series, and it would be good to tell Zhu Zhu when he went back.
"How long will it take to get to the harem? I want to go to the harem! Wu Ye'er asked.
"What's the hurry, what about the time of the day, let's take a walk, didn't you say that walking is also a kind of practice? I'll let you go! Ha ha! Nie Xinyuan said with a smile.
Wu Ye'er glanced at him and said, "Okay, then you will accompany me for a month, and you are not allowed to stop to rest in the middle, and you are not allowed to eat or drink!" ”
Nie Xin jumped to his feet angrily and complained, "Are you practicing here? You're murdering your own husband! ”
