Today's Luoyang City is built by Yang Guang in the former Sui Dynasty, located in the south of the mountain, the north of Yique, the west of the river, the east of the Jianhe River, and the Luoshui passes through the city.
Luoyang City, like Chang'an City, is a neatly arranged city pattern, but due to the topography, the urban construction is not as symmetrical and strict as Chang'an.
There is also an imperial city in Luoyang City, the imperial city is located in the north of Luoshui, there is a palace city in the imperial city, the naming of each gate is also somewhat similar to the Chang'an Imperial City, the imperial city was ordered by Li Shimin to be Luoyang Palace in the early Tang Dynasty. There are 12 miles around Luoyang Palace, there are 12 gates on all sides, the main gate in the south is the gate of Zetian, the left and right are the Mingde Gate and the Changle Gate, and there is also the Xuanwu Gate in the north...... After Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, he went to Luoyang more often, and in the second year of Xianqing, Luoyang was designated as the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty.
At the end of the Sui war, after Li Shimin captured Luoyang, he felt that the palace in Luoyang City was too luxurious, ordered it to be demolished, and rebuilt it a few years later, but the rebuilt Luoyang Palace was far less impressive than the Sui Dynasty, in order to deal with the needs of state affairs, in the previous year, the imperial court ordered Si Nongqing Wei Hongji to build Shangyang, Suyu, Gaoshan and other palaces, before the arrival of the emperor and the empress, several palaces have been completed.
After the emperor's royal car arrived at Luoshui'an, all the officials in Luoyang City came out to greet him.
It was another rather complicated ceremony, and after all the ceremonies were over, the imperial driver entered the imperial city from the gate of heaven.
Liu Yi and the twenty guards he led, as well as a Yulin army soldier, escorted the chariot of Princess Taiping, followed the emperor and empress, and entered the Luoyang Palace together.
It's just that this time the emperor's residence is in the newly built Shangyang Palace.
Shangyang Palace is located in the west of Luoyang Palace, built near Luoshui, especially like the Daming Palace in Chang'an, built very magnificently, more than the Daming Palace, but the scale is much smaller than the Daming Palace.
Shangyang Palace was not built with such symmetry and row arrangement as Daming Palace, Taiji Palace and Luoyang Palace, but adopted a free-style set, which also looks different.
This time, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian live in the Xianju Palace, the same name as the place where the Daming Palace lives, the palace where Princess Taiping lives is the Lijing Palace, and the Lijing Palace is not far from the Xianju Palace, about more than 200 steps away.
What made Liu Yi feel relaxed was that after the royal driver arrived at Shangyang Palace, the task he performed to protect Princess Taiping's car was also over, and he was re-recruited back to the Qianniu Guard queue to jointly guard this piece of palace, although sometimes he still had to be on duty for Princess Taiping, but compared with the full-time guards along the way, there was still a difference.
The journey was still very hard, including the emperor, empress and other important ministers of the court, who were already very tired, and Li Zhi also issued an edict ordering the officials to rest for three days before discussing matters.
-------
To Liu Yi's surprise, early in the morning of the third day after arriving in Luoyang, Princess Taiping sent someone to pass him on.
"Liu Yi, why didn't you come to the palace when you arrived in Luoyang?" As soon as Liu Yi entered the Lijing Palace, Princess Taiping greeted him.
"Princess, lowly... I'm just doing what I'm told!" Liu Yi was afraid that Princess Taiping's spit would splash on his face, so he took a step back.
"I'm going to tell my father and mother, and I'll let you come to my side to protect you!" Princess Taiping seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and her tone was also very loud, but after seeing Liu Yi hanging his hands and standing on the side, a sly smile appeared on her face, "Liu Yi, this palace wants you to accompany me to play outside!"
Liu Yi was startled, as soon as she arrived in Luoyang, the demon girl revealed her real surname, and she was about to sneak outside to play, so she hurriedly persuaded: "Princess, you have to tell His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven about this matter first, and they agree before you can go out, besides, I am just a small Qianniu to prepare myself, without the order of the official, and I will not go out privately!"
"Okay, you wait here, I'll go to the Empress Ming," Princess Taiping said, and without waiting for Liu Yi to respond, she ran out in a hurry, and the two personal maids, Xiaoyun and Ping'er, also hurriedly followed.
Liu Yi had to wait in the Lijing Palace, and also took a few chances to take a look at Princess Taiping's other maids, who were all looking at Liu Yi and smiling, which made Liu Yi a little annoyed, but there was nothing to do.
After a while, Princess Taiping came back with a smug face, "Liu Yi, the queen mother agrees that the palace will go out to play, so you will accompany you, you go back to the duty office to get an order first, and come here in a while, the palace will change its clothes and go out!"
"Yes!" Liu Yi had to obey the order, I don't understand how Wu Zetian agreed to Princess Taiping's request to go out of the palace to play without permission, it wouldn't be to lie to himself and go out of the palace without permission, right?
Liu Yi returned to Qianniuwei's guard, and Zhang Renyuan, who looked a little depressed, saw Liu Yi come in, and hurriedly beckoned him over, "You take the original twenty people to prepare, change into the people's clothes, and accompany Princess Taiping to Beishi to go shopping, don't go on a business trip!"
"Obedience!" Liu Yi answered. Princess Taiping really got Wu Zetian's promise to let her go out of the palace and buy things, the most noble princess of the Tang Dynasty actually wanted to buy things herself, and the reason for leaving the palace was too far-fetched.
Although he thought so, Liu Yi didn't dare to delay, and immediately summoned the original twenty people to prepare themselves, changed the outfits of ordinary people, wrapped the Qianniu knife in a package-like thing, carried it on his back, and prepared to leave the palace.
Liu Yi himself changed into the dress of a rich son, wearing a white shirt, which was still a filial piety suit and did not bring weapons.
After the dress stopped, Liu Yi took the twenty sergeants to the outside of the Lijing Hall where Princess Taiping lived, let the sergeants wait, and he went inside to inquire about the situation.
But I saw that Princess Taiping had changed into a light green Hu suit, tied her head with a scarf, and looked like a boy from the side, and the two maids were also dressed in Tsing Yi and small hats. It's just that no matter how you dress up, it is obviously a woman's face, and people can recognize it at a glance, at least Liu Yi will never treat Princess Taiping in disguise as a beautiful man.
"Liu Yi, look at Bengong dressed like this, it doesn't look like a man!" It's really damn that Princess Taiping asked such a naïve question.
Hearing Princess Taiping say this, Liu Yi also looked up and down a few times in the open, and his eyes deliberately stayed in some specific places for a while, but Liu Yi felt that except for his face, he looked really like a man in other places, and there was nothing particularly prominent, but he was slightly shorter.
Princess Taiping's height is not short, according to Liu Yi's eyes, it is estimated that there is about one meter sixty-three or sixty-four, but this is based on the figure of a woman, if it is a man, such a height can be regarded as a cripple.
"Sort of!" Liu Yi looked at Princess Taiping with an expectant look, resisted the urge to laugh, and nodded reluctantly.
Princess Taiping, who was a little annoyed by Liu Yi's ill-intentioned gaze just now, glared at Liu Yi, subconsciously shrunk her chest, turned sideways, her face was a little flushed, and she muttered in a low voice...;
