The palace of Oghuz is very different from the Tang Dynasty.

This is Xiao Yan's very strong feeling.

First of all, its location is not located in the northernmost part of the capital, with the north as the supreme symbol of the supreme imperial power; Instead, it stands in the center of the Khan's capital - compared with the Imperial Supreme, it is more like the head wolf leading the wolves, not far away from the wolves, but in the middle of the wolves, the core of the pack.

Xiao Yan said in his heart, this is very interesting.

The relationship between the head wolf and the wolves is definitely not the relationship between the monarch and the minister of the Tang Dynasty - "The monarch is polite to the ministers, and the ministers are loyal." The king regards his ministers as mustard, and his ministers regard them as if they were cowards", which is soaked in the obligations of the monarch and the minister, and a certain equality--but the conquest and obedience of □□ naked power, the more cruel and ferocious the head wolf, the more recognized by the wolves.

Now they are going to meet the head wolf of this country.

In the eyes of a pack of wolves, it must be a very "cruel and ferocious" head wolf.

They dismounted at the Sirius Square in front of the palace, and went up six stairs leading to the palace, each with forty-four steps, on both sides of the stairs were flower beds, but not planted flowers, they were all neatly trimmed and arranged like military coniferous pine trees, separated by huge sculptures: archers with bows, men on horseback, hunters of beasts, whalemen at sea, marching against blizzards, armies fighting in war...... They are all carved from a variety of rough boulders, and the lines are also rough and rigid, revealing a kind of fierce and fierce strength, as well as a primitive wildnesshttp://.5./books/28/28886/

http://.5./books/28/28886/

My iceberg goddess.

…… This is by no means the elegant, solemn and majestic of the Tang Palace, but contains the heaviness and breadth of civilization!

It is an undisguised display of strength, the ferocious fight between man and the environment, the ferocious fight between man and beasts, and the ferocious fight between man, showing the yearning for strength and the will to fight fiercely...... Savage, strong, unyielding.

Xiao Yan sighed in his heart.

I think of a sentence from Gaozong: If people are not strong, they will be torn apart by wild beasts; If Datang is not strong, it will be torn apart by barbarism.

This country is everywhere, and it is also preaching the ferocity and wildness of wolves.

Therefore, the struggle for the throne of Oghuz is much more cruel and bloody than that of the Tang Dynasty. - This is the battle of the head wolf in the pack of wolves, and if the royal family of Ninglou is not fierce and cruel, it will not be able to maintain the position of the head wolf. There is no loyalty to the king in this country, only the force of the wolves against the head of the wolf, and in order to sit on the throne, you must prove that you are worthy of the position of the head wolf through the victory of guò fighting.

Therefore, there are many princes and princesses in each generation of the Lou family, but there are very few left: entering the succession sequence of the throne means entering the fighting field, and the weak can only die...... There are five brothers and two sisters in front of the hill, and her succession has only advanced to the fourth; If the Great Knower does not give up the right of inheritance, it is estimated that he will become a corpse.

Xiao Yan stepped on the stone steps leading to the palace, thinking that the hill was stepping on the bone steps, and couldn't help but sigh: [Your mother is really fierce enough. 】

Murong Jue said simply: [If you don't enter, you will die.] 】

Xiao Yan was silent.

Therefore, the royal family will not die because of the decay of arrogance and lasciviousness, but will only die because they are not strong enough.

She thought of the royal family education of Datang and the family education of Datang, no matter what the methods are different and the connotations are different, but there is only one essence - if you don't advance, you will retreat.

And retreating, it is possible to die.

She nodded in agreement with the senior's words and said: [Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement. 】

This is the words of "Zhou Yi", which was listed as one of the family mottos of the Lanling Xiao family and engraved in the stele forest of the temple, and it must also be the inscription of the family motto of each family.

Of course, the family will not educate the moral gentleman, the gentleman, and the incumbent of Confucianism, and those who have status If they do not want to lose their status and want to go further, they must uphold the spirit of "Tianxingjian and self-improvement", otherwise, in the end, it will be decay and perdition - there are too many examples of the decline of the Dashi clan as a lesson from the past.

Even the heavens have to be "walked" and "healthy", let alone the insignificant beings under the sky?

——If you don't advance, you will retreat: people are like this, families are like this, and countries are like this.

Murong Jue expressed even more coldly: [Even if the way forward is to step on blood and bones, you must move forward. 】

Xiao Yan looked at the sky and was silent for a while.

Even if the road to the starry sky is a sea of blood, you must step on the bones, right?

……

Up the two hundred and sixty-four steps, there is the palace.

And another big difference between the Oghuz Palace and the Tang Palace is-

The Imperial Palace of Oghhuz is round...... Round......

In fact, when you see it from a distance below, you see a great circle standing tall...... Oh no, it is a grand round building complex, the four palace walls of the Khan's palace are built into a circle, and the palace buildings inside are also circled into a circle, one circle after another, and the circle in the center is the Great Khan's dormitory.

Xiao Yan said that he was a little blindsided with this circle, and there was a feeling that the two of them climbed the steps to worship the sky and went up to the altar of the moundhttp://.5./books/28/28887/

http://.5./books/28/28887/

I heard that the author wears books.

Murong Jue saw her slightly twitching expression, and asked the attendant very intimately: "Why was the Khan Palace built into a circle?" ”

The attendant officer is the close attendant of His Majesty the Emperor, of course, he knows that this Royal Highness has lived in the Tang Kingdom since he was a child, and he does not know the beliefs and customs of Oghuz, so he was not surprised at all when he heard this, and replied respectfully: [Because the circle is the heavenly dome, the sea of stars, and the boundless. 】

The sky dome, the sea of stars, boundless......

The two looked at each other, both thoughtful.

"That's interesting." Xiao Yan nodded with an admiring tone.

Well, the architecture of the palace is all stone...... It's also interesting.

The architecture of the Tang Dynasty Palace is mostly made of wood, and the construction, carving and decoration all pursue the natural beauty of the unity of nature and man...... The Oghuz Palace reflects the cold and hard stone, solid, and the combination of Xianbei-style dome architecture and Tunguska-style spire, tall colonnades and domes, and towering minarets, and the visual view is tall and strong...... Tall and magnificent, of course, this is also very impressive, but it is inevitable to be surprised and ponder the difference.

The attendant replied, "For the higher we are, the closer we are to God." 】

Of course, the two knew that the god that the Oghuz people spoke of was not a certain image, but the heavens, the starry sky, and nature.

"It's really interesting." Xiao Yan said.

She has already said and thought about several "very interesting" things today.

This time, "very interesting" is not "the higher the more you can get closer to God", but the difference between the civilization of the Tang Dynasty and the Oghuz reflected in the Tongguò architecture:

One is the pursuit of the perfection of the unity of heaven and man...... Freely.

One is the pursuit of power that is close to the Divine...... Subjugate.

The biggest difference between countries is not in ethnic and national differences, but in cultural differences that are integrated into the blood...... It is only by seeking a certain homogeneity of their existence that it is possible to seek common progress. - If it can't be eliminated, then we must consider making progress together.

The premise, of course, is that there is this homogeneity.

Xiao Yan walked all the way, watched all the way, and thought all the way.

People can't get away from her country and nation, just like blood, they must be branded by the family, if she wants to understand this emperor's majesty, she must first understand Oghuz, the more she looks at it, the more she thinks, the more she is likely to face the Ninglouqiu, not shallowly confused by what she expressed, but to see her heart deeply.

- Facing someone like Ninglouqiu, this must be an easy battle.

***

"Ahead is the Great Khan's dormitory."

The attendant said sideways.

Xiao Yan had a sense of exhalation that had finally arrived, and a sense of solemnity that he was about to see His Majesty the Emperor.

Her eyes were looking ahead.

It is a building surrounded on three sides, like the moon, and in the middle is a three-story dome building, and the whole dormitory looks like the moon hugging the sun, and the "sun" is the emperor's dormitory, and the name of the palace is called the hall of the sun...... The Oghuz are so straightforward.

The two entered the wide hall of the Yongri Hall from the tall porch, and the attendant said respectfully: "Your Majesty has just returned from the discussion and is changing clothes upstairs. Please sit down with the Holy One for a moment. As he spoke, he led the two to sit down on two cherry wood chairs with high armrests.

The court attendant brought two cups of flower tea, one soaked in snow lotus and one soaked in osmanthushttp://.5./books/28/28889/

http://.5./books/28/28889/

Reborn to defeat the top student.

Xiao Yan smiled when he saw it.

She lived in Afuyu's house for a while, and of course learned about some of the hospitality customs of Oghuz - the most solemn is to serve freshly fried black tea with milk, while flower tea is not on the table, and can only be used for leisure time, or to entertain close family and close friends, otherwise it will be rude to the guests.

Of course, His Majesty the Emperor will not be rude.

Two cups of tea, indicating the tone of today's audience, are private and intimate.

Xiao Yan's heart was relieved.

Very good, she has a tacit understanding with this majesty.

Footsteps sounded on the verandah, the light but steady sound of soft soles on the floor.

Xiao Yan and Murong couldn't help but stand up and approach the staircase.

The hall leads to the upper floor of a curved staircase, also in the shape of a moon—Xiao Yan said in his heart that the Oghuz people love the sun, moon and stars, because they are gods—it is when the sun is at its strongest at noon, and the bright light shines down from the glass ceiling of the dome, illuminating the staircase very brightly, and illuminating the woman who steps down the stairs like a blazing sun.

Xiao Yan breathed heavily.

In an instant, the "cruel and ferocious" head wolf or something flew far from her head......

"Oh! My dear darling! ”

Dressed in a linen half-length shirt with slim trousers underneath and a pair of soft leather boots on his feet, His Majesty went down the stairs with a very light step, embraced his daughter with open arms, and kissed her on both cheeks.

"Yi ...... Stop up. ”

Murong Jue's body and expression were a little stiff, although it was not the first time that he had been hugged and affectionate by his biological mother like this, he was still a little uncomfortable.

…… Dear baby?!

After Xiao Yan was suffocated by the scorching sun, her expression was sluggish, she thought of her dear, but she didn't expect that there was a baby behind.

Dear darling......

The iceberg collapsed with a thud.

Xiao Yan stiffened his face, and he rolled around with laughter in his heart.

Compared with her seniors, she was called a "good baby" or something, which is really nothing.

"Yise, this is Xiao Wunian," Murong Jue's chilling gaze shot at her two ice arrows, "My partner." ”

Xiao Yan covered his lips and coughed and endured a smile, pressed his right hand on his chest, bowed ninety degrees, made a Xianbei salute, and said in standard Xianbei language: "Junior Xiao Wunian, it's an honor to see you." ”

"Oh! My dear! ”

When Xiao Yan straightened up, Ninglouqiu also gave her a warm hug - of course, there was no kiss ceremony, the kiss ceremony was limited to blood relatives in Oghuz - and said with a smile, "Welcome to our house!" I'm glad to see you. ”

Xiao Yan gently hugged her back and said, "Da Yimu, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Yimu is the "aunt" in Xianbei language, and adding a "big" is an honorific title, which means "respecting the noble aunt" according to the Tang language.

Xiao Yan is a friend of Murong Jue, calling his friend's mother and saluting.

The first time they met, she and the Oghuz the Great had a tacit understanding and chose a private way.

Louqiu raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder, "Honey, I'll be happier if you call me Ayimhttp://.5./books/28/28888/

http://.5./books/28/28888/

Blind marriage. ”

Ayim is an affectionate name for an aunt.

An important reason why Xiao Yan can be liked by many elders is that he is obedient and sweet-mouthed, so he immediately changed his words: "Ayim." ”

Louqiu stretched out his arm and grabbed her shoulder again, his tone was kind and casual, "My Qianshan baby still refuses to call me Ayise, and even more so to call Sesai." The tone was filled with a mother's love and resentment for her daughter.

Aise is an intimate name for the mother, as if the Tang people call it Mother, and the Sai Se is more intimate, which is equivalent to the Tang children calling their mothers and mothers.

The corners of Murong Jue's mouth froze.

Xiao Yan imagined the scene of the senior calling "Mother" with an ice face, and rolled with laughter in his heart, and forced a smile: "The senior is like an iceberg on the outside and magma on the inside—in fact, he is very enthusiastic in his heart." ”

Murong Jue: ...... Hehe.

She raised her eyebrows and said to her mother, "Xiao Wunian is the most enthusiastic about the elders she likes, you can call her 'dear Wunian baby'." ”

Xiao Yan: "......"

His face collapsed.

Senior, I was wrong.

Louqiu looked sideways at her daughter, then at Xiao Yan, and then laughed.

When she laughed, her head was slightly raised, the dome sunlight was shining on her face, and the gray eyes that might usually make people feel cold and cold, at this time, there were countless broken lights flowing by, dotted with stars, like a silver galaxy, which made people instantly fall into the bright magnificence, and being watched by this silver galaxy, there was a feeling of supreme glory in an instant.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but lose her mind, and her praise for the elder women has always been direct, although she reminded herself in her heart that this is a wolf, and it is definitely not as charming and friendly as it appears, but she still bowed slightly, and praised sincerely: "Ayim has a charm that makes people fall in love and follow willingly. ”

Liaolouqiu laughed, the sound quality was the same as Murong Jue, cold and cold, like the snow in the Oghuz polar region, but the laughter was broad, making people think of the polar sky for a moment, high and bright, and another moment of thinking of the field of Oghuz, the boundless distance.

…… This is a vast emperor.

Xiao Yan thought to himself.

Whether it is brutal and ruthless or not, at least it has a generous bearing.

And an emperor with a broad magnanimity must have a grand pattern.

Xiao Yan is looking forward to having a more in-depth exchange with His Majesty the Emperor.

Of course, that's the next time we meet.

Today, she is just visiting the younger generation of her friend's mother.

The meeting lasted four hours, from noon to evening, and was always relaxed and pleasant. They accompanied His Majesty the Emperor for lunch and dinner, and in the evening they watched the stars together on the highest tower of the Imperial Palace, looking at the vast Milky Way and contemplating until the time came, saying goodnight to each other.

In short, it was a beautiful meeting—Xiao Yan summed it up satisfactorily, except that His Majesty the Emperor called her "dear Wunian baby".

She decided to break up with her senior for one night.

Senior Murong was surprised by this, "Haven't you been breaking up with me?" ”

"Where?"

"You've always refused to have sex with me."

“！”

…… Break up, break up, must break up!
