Chapter 102: The Forbidden City

, located in the center of Beiping City, is now called the Forbidden City, which means the imperial palace of the past. It is the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is also the largest, most majestic and most well-preserved ancient palace and ancient building complex in the world today.

After Zhu Di seized the throne, he decided to move the capital to Beijing, that is, he began to build the Forbidden City Palace, according to the saying, Ziweiyuan is located in Zhongtian, which is the residence of the Emperor of Heaven, and the corresponding heaven and man are also called the Forbidden City to the residence of the emperor.

We stand at the noon gate and look at the majestic and majestic imperial city, the whole Forbidden City is distributed left and right based on the central axis, with red walls and yellow tiles, painted and carved beams. The palace tower, high and low, spectacular and majestic.

The southern half of the city is centered on the main hall of the Hedian, the Zhonghe Hall and the Baohe Palace, and the two sides are supplemented by the Huadian and the Wuying Palace, which is the place where the emperor holds the court meeting, which is called the former dynasty.

The northern half is centered on the Qianqing Palace, the Jiaotai Palace, the Kunning Palace and the East and West Six Palaces and the Imperial Garden, and there are Fengxian and Emperor Palaces on the east side of the outside, and there are Yangxin Palace, Yuhua Pavilion, Cining Palace, etc. on the west side, which is the place where the emperor and the concubines live, hold sacrifices and religious activities.

Among them, the largest building is the and hall, commonly known as the Jinluan Palace, which is built by the Sumeru seat of the layer, each floor is in the form of the Sumeru seat, surrounded by white jade railings, the column head is expected on the railing, there is a spitting water mantle head under it, and there is decoration on the head of each looking column.

Its hall is eleven rooms wide and five rooms deep, and the roof of the main hall is heavy eaves hall type, that is, the four heavy houses of Yin Shang, which is the shape.

The number of horned beasts and buckets on the roof is also the largest, the carving on the balustrade, the colorful paintings and the caisson pattern in the hall all use the dragon and phoenix motifs that represent the imperial power, the Japanese gauge, Jialiang, the copper turtle, the bronze crane and so on on the platform can only be displayed here, and the gold lacquer carved dragon throne in the hall is the symbol of the imperial power.

It took us a whole day to roughly survey the entire Forbidden City, and it was also a quick to see the view, the front and back yards of the Forbidden City together are like a magnificent city within a city, we can only look at a rough day, with Gu Xiao's inference combined with the records in history, Zhu Di's time to build the Forbidden City coincides with the treasure of Genghis Khan.

Anyone who comes here will be amazed by the majestic architecture and all eyes will be on this magnificent golden city.

Zhu Di and Dao Yan must have fully comprehended the true meaning of this sentence than anyone else, when everyone's eyes are completely attracted by the scene in front of them, who will delve into what else will be under the scene.

According to the scale of the Forbidden City, it should be easy to hide Genghis Khan's treasures and remains, Zhu Di wants to change his life and become the emperor and be forever, and what place is more suitable than here, the huge treasure is buried under the imperial city where he walks and sleeps every day, and he can absorb gold every day to urge his emperor's life, so that he not only has it in hand but also creates a prosperous era of Yongle.

Zhu Di hid the treasure under the Forbidden City may have another important reason, this is known as the peerless magnificent and majestic imperial city, even if his descendants sit on it, or change the country and ruin the family, the king of the next dynasty will not be reluctant to destroy this amazing palace, in fact, Zhu Di's idea should be right now, this magnificent imperial city has been standing so far, then no one will discover the secrets under the imperial city.

Although we can be sure of the place where Zhu Di buried the treasure, but the problem is that we don't know where to start to investigate, this Forbidden City is now not a city, but a record of historical changes, its value and significance are extraordinary.

Even if we knew that the treasure was under the Forbidden City, it would be impossible to dig it, and I believe that no one would dare to destroy every brick here.

"The Forbidden City is so large, even if we want to excavate it, there must be a breakthrough, we are only sure that the treasure is under the Forbidden City, but we don't know the specific location at all." After walking around all of us, out of breath, we looked back and forth and said.

"But in fact, in addition to such an investigation, it is impossible for us to go to great lengths to investigate the entire Forbidden City, first of all, no one will believe our words, and secondly, the secrets of Genghis Khan's Mausoleum cannot be leaked." Nangong Yi sighed heavily and said weakly.

"Since the construction of Zhu Di, the Forbidden City has undergone countless expansions and repairs in later generations, and even the palace gatehouse has been damaged, but no one has ever discovered the secrets under the Forbidden City." I frowned, looked back and forth, and said thoughtfully. "It can be seen that Zhu Di was very hidden when he hid the treasure, and the location of the treasure was difficult to find."

"Take the formal way to carry out a comprehensive survey of the entire Forbidden City, if the manpower is sufficient, it will take several years, not to mention that just a few of us, it is estimated that this generation will not find the exact location of the treasure." Yun Duruo said worriedly.

"What we lack is time, but this happens to be the least thing that the remnants of the clan lack, and if we can find the Forbidden City, they will be able to do it sooner or later." Han Yu said with a serious face. "We have spent our entire lives trying to find out where the treasure is, but now there is nothing left to restrain them, and they can spend a few more years exploring this place, brick by brick, and sooner or later they will find out the exact location of the treasure, and then they will ......."

"If the person who got the treasure of Genghis Khan's Mausoleum is you......" Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly said meaningfully. You buried the treasure in the Forbidden City, what will you do? ”

"......" Everyone hesitated, and Yun Duruo pursed his lips and smiled. If it were me, there would be so much gold, silver and jewelry underneath the place where I lived, I would go and see it every five minutes. ”

"Yes, when you don't have money, you go down and pound it, there are so many gold, silver and jewelry, it's much more comfortable to sleep on it than to sleep on a dragon bed." Han Yu also laughed and replied disapprovingly.

"Although Zhu Di is an emperor, he is a mortal after all, and he will more or less have such thoughts as us, so even if Zhu Di buries the treasure under the Forbidden City, it will not be completely sealed." Gu Xiao said calmly.

"He'll leave himself a passage in and out of the treasure!" My eyes lit up and I said excitedly.

"That's right! There must be a way to the treasure of the underworld, hidden in this Forbidden City. Gu Xiaoxiao nodded and said calmly. Although the Forbidden City is large, it is not completed by Zhu Di alone, we only need to survey the places built by Zhu Di during his reign, and we can greatly narrow down the scope. ”

Nangong Yi thought for a moment and said to us that the Forbidden City of the Forbidden City has been continuously rebuilt and added since the four years of Yongle in the early Ming Dynasty, especially the restructuring of the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty and the reconstruction of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, so that the Forbidden City finally formed the scale of today's building.

The Forbidden City built by Zhu Di was only determined at the beginning of the location and scale of the palace city, the north and south of the palace city were divided into the front and the back of the bed, the central axis ran through the north and south, the left and right symmetry, the longitudinal column, the east and west six palaces were ringed, showing the trend of the stars and the moon, and the existing Forbidden City basically maintained the plane pattern laid in the Yongle period.

"Even if Zhu Di leaves a passage into the treasure, it shouldn't be in these buildings." Han Yu walked back and forth a few steps and said to us. "If he can enter, it means that others can too, and Zhu Di can still be foolproof when he is in power, but how can he ensure that this huge treasure will not be discovered after he dies?"

"Judging from history, Zhu Di's descendants should not know the secret of this earth-shattering treasure, and if they knew Chongzhen, they would not have ruined the country because of lack of money." Nangong Yi said thoughtfully. "It seems that Zhu Di has attributed this huge treasure to a secret that belongs to him alone."

"That's not necessarily, in addition to Zhu Di knowing, Daoyan also knows the whole thing, you must know that he is responsible for the design of the Forbidden City, and he is also the person who instructs Zhu Di to sit on it." I took a deep breath and rubbed my forehead. "Dao Yan is the emperor, Zhu Di treats him with great courtesy, knowing such a big secret can still be successful, it can be seen how much Zhu Di trusts him, but even if Zhu Di wants this secret to be buried in the ground forever, will Dao Yan leave some clues, even if he does not covet it, but after all, he participated in the most successful hiding operation in history."

"There is really this possibility, no matter how great the merit is, it is better to let people recite and remember, Zhu Di can be famous for a thousand years, but Dao Yan is unknown when he participates in all this, although Dao Yan is loyal to Zhu Di and is dedicated to supporting the community, but he is also a mortal after all, and it is inevitable that he wants to share his achievements and exploits with others." Nodding his head, he said.

"Zhu Di is uncertain, like his father Zhu Yuanzhang, he is also a suspicious person by nature, he can ascend the throne by relying on Dao Yan's guidance, but the king's heart is unpredictable, Dao Yan seems to know a lot of secrets, and it is a threat to Zhu Di after all." Nangong Yi frowned, thought carefully for a moment, and said thoughtfully. "But Zhu Di didn't get rid of Dao Yan under the pretext, indicating that Dao Yan had never mentioned half a word to anyone about this matter, if according to what we thought, Dao Yan thought that future generations would know that their exploits would definitely leave clues, but since even Zhu Di was sure that Dao Yan was not double-minded, would he leave the line on it?"

"Dao Yan's merits are nothing more than two points, one of which is to help Zhu Di ascend the throne as emperor, which the world knows that Yan Ju is a great contribution, and the other should be Genghis Khan's treasure, helping Zhu Di to rule for a long time, if Dao Yan wants future generations to know...... "I stood in place and looked around meaningfully." This Forbidden City is designed by Dao Yan, and there are unimaginable treasures buried underneath, and if he wants to leave any traces, he will definitely stay in the Forbidden City! ”
