Chapter 174: Imperial Capital (1)

It is estimated that the city gate guards have not checked the foreign nobles who have entered Beijing like this, so they were just stunned, their faces were full of smiles, and after checking the waist card, they also reminded in a low voice: "Sir, you have such a noble status, why bother to huddle with these civilians, the city gate in La Liga, three miles to the east, is specially for you to enter and exit."

"Hehe, hurry, too lazy to go over, just find a city gate to enter. Zhang Zhongjun said with a smile.

The city gate guard didn't say anything more, just smiled and motioned for Zhang Zhongjun to press his palm on the crystal ball.

The big frog made a noise: "Boy, this city gate guard shows such respect verbally, doesn't he need to kneel down and salute you like this? And the city gate specially for nobles to pass through, why is the name so weird, what is it called La Liga?"

"There's no way, the imperial capital is so big, each city wall has at least hundreds of gates, if you take the name, who remembers, so simply use the four directions of southeast, south, northwest to distinguish, and then A, B, C and D to distinguish the levels of different city gates, and finally use numbers to divide the city gates. La Liga is the best city gate in the city and other gates, which belongs to the nobles. ”

"Of course, not all city gates do not have names, such as the city gate where the Emperor of Heaven travels. If you really want to talk about it, the passage corresponding to the four Heavenly Emperor's special city gates is the best location in the imperial capital. However, while the other streets are closer to the city gate, the more prosperous they become, but the closer these four streets are to the city gate, the more barren they become. Zhang Zhongjun said with emotion.

"Cut, the Emperor of Heaven almost never leaves the imperial capital, usually the city gate is closed, for others, the city gate that cannot be passed through is no different from the city wall, the location is good and useful, it is strange if it is not barren. The big frog said disdainfully.

After Zhang Zhongjun left a handprint on the crystal ball, he rode his horse and began to trot towards the inner city.

The big frog couldn't help but grin and nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, it's a bit like the monk world." ”

Zhang Zhongjun said with a smile: "This is also a last resort, otherwise such a big city, it is not allowed to run horses, it will delay many things, and even whether the officials can catch up with the court meeting will be a problem." ”

"Okay, I know that you are proud of the huge imperial capital of your country, don't talk so much nonsense, hurry up and go to meet your stepfather first, and then go home and settle down, and then come to hang out in the imperial capital!" said the big frog angrily waving his paws.

"Good. Zhang Zhongjun originally arranged it like this, so he naturally rode his horse towards the address given by Xiao Dezi.

The entire imperial capital is divided into three parts: the outer city, the inner city, and the imperial city.

Needless to say, the imperial city was the place where members of the royal family and the eunuchs lived and lived, and it was also the center of imperial power.

The inner city is naturally a first-class place, and it belongs to the children of the royal family with knighthoods, nobles, and people above the third rank who live.

The outer city is naturally a place where the people below the rank of the third rank and all the people of the imperial capital live.

And these three circles of life, one in a square shape, one by one, a cross-shaped avenue with Chaoyi Palace as the central point, connect these three square areas together.

From this cross-shaped avenue, countless streets extended, dividing the inner city and the outer city except for the imperial city into towns and squares, and millions of people lived in this dense square square.

There are quite a few people who have never left the imperial capital in their lives, because the imperial capital is too big, and they have everything.

Leaving aside the imperial city, the inner city and the outer city are also very magnificent, and Zhang Zhongjun rode his horse and trotted for an hour before entering the inner city.

Compared to the outer city, there are many fewer people in the inner city. The people in the entire imperial capital are very conscious, there is nothing to do, and the people in the outer city will never enter the inner city, but the people in the inner city like to go to the outer city to be chic.

Of course, there are entertainment facilities such as restaurants, green houses, teahouses, theaters and so on in the inner city, but most of the people who play there are masters from the imperial city, in order to avoid causing trouble to their own homes, but the outer city is relatively chaotic, and people in the imperial city rarely run to play, which has become the first choice for the children of the inner city to laugh and play.

So in this way, the pattern is very clear, the imperial city is a place for the emperor and the concubines of the harem, the inner city is a place for the royal family and eunuchs to play, and the outer city has naturally become a place for the royal family, nobles, and children of big officials in the inner city to play.

As for the people in the outer city, they can either grovel and play with the children of the inner city, or avoid these children and find a corner to play with their own equals. Of course, most people are still busy making ends meet and don't have that time to play.

However, it is said that many people in the imperial city also ran to the outer city to have fun with great interest, as for why? Looking at the difference between the number of people in the inner city and the outer city dozens of times, you can understand.

Even if Zhang Zhongjun's mount is a vigorous war horse, it is a mess, but in the outer city, he can only use trotting, and he has to move left and right from time to time to avoid the dense crowd.

After entering the inner city, Zhang Zhongjun's vitality war horse ran at full speed.

"Although it is not very popular, it is a good place to live and recuperate because of the quiet environment. But after a long time, this kind of leisurely environment is easy to wear out people's fighting spirit, you should hurry back to Bali Pavilion after you are done, only that kind of wild and cool place is suitable for exercising you. The big frog said to Zhang Zhongjun while looking around in large numbers.

"Of course, this place looks gorgeous and rich on the outside, but even if the owners of those mansions are not very happy to live here, most of the mansions are only a few masters and a few servants who are still officials, and their families have all moved to the outer city, and when those big officials are gone, they will also move out. Zhang Zhongjun nodded with a smile and said.

"It's strange, isn't this inner city inhabited by the top royal families, nobles, and officials above the third grade?

"Senior brother, it's the time of the last dynasty, the owner of the house in the inner city is either in the court or in the outer city, and those who stay in the house are recuperating, who will have the door open?! Zhang Zhongjun said with a smile.

"I see, damn it, I don't know if I think most of the houses in this inner city are uninhabited. The big frog nodded.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through the big frog's mind, and he asked Zhang Zhongjun: "By the way, when will the imperial examination of this empire be held?

"Why should I participate in the imperial examination?" Zhang Zhongjun asked curiously.
