Shengtian means supreme power and broad mind, in fact, as the strongest and largest country in the land of Shenxi, Shengtian Temple is the highest council hall of this country, and the four times a year the great court meeting and various ceremonies and ceremonies of the Zhou State are carried out here, which is indeed worthy of the name of Shengtian.

Shengtian Temple is on the central axis of Tongyingfu City, and the throne of Shengtian Temple is also the center of the entire imperial city, the whole hall body is 49 zhang from east to west, and 28 zhang from north to south.

The main body of the main hall is built on the pedestal that is six zhang high from the ground, the same as many palaces in Zhao Yingqi's previous life, the pedestal is divided into three layers, each layer of pedestal has a total of 49 steps, in the middle of the steps is the totem of the Zhou State - the dragon flying phoenix dance, a nine-clawed dragon and a three-tailed golden phoenix.

The whole palace is divided into three parts, the main hall in the center, the bell tower on the east side, and the drum tower on the west side.

The main hall in the middle is 36 zhang long from east to west, 21 zhang wide from north to south, three double-open doors with two zhang wide in the middle, three double-open small doors with a width of one zhang on both sides, when the great dynasty will meet, the emperor walks the middle gate, the military attache above the third grade walks the east side gate, the civil official above the third grade walks the west side gate, and the civil and military forces below the three grades all walk the small door on both sides, this is the rule, no one can break it.

Unless there is a new head armor military general into the worship of the general or the champion civil official into the court will have the opportunity to walk through the middle gate once, the rest of the time even the queen, the prince and other dignitaries can not enter through the middle gate.

The Great Zhou Hall under the jade steps of the palace to the front is a huge square with a length of 64 zhang from east to west, and a width of 36 zhang from north to south, the middle of the square is the central axis of the whole Tongyingfu City is facing the back door of the Great Zhou Palace, and the screen behind the throne of the Great Zhou Palace can be seen through the back door of the Great Zhou Palace.

This central axis is the Qitian Road, at the end of the Qitian Road leading to the Great Zhou Palace, 64 zhang away from the jade steps of the Shengtian Palace, and 15 zhang away from the Great Zhou Palace, it is a two-zhang canal, called Junze Canal.

There are three stone bridges on the Youlong Canal, which correspond to the three gates in the middle of the Shengtian Temple, and the middle is the Yingjun Bridge, which is three zhang wide; The east side is the Youlong Bridge, and the west side is the Yinfeng Bridge, each with a width of two zhang.

The east side of the square is the Panlong Palace, and the west side is the Qifeng Pavilion, which is the highest civil and military official office of the Zhou State. The first master and the general of the third grade or more enter the Panlong Palace, and the head armor champion, the list eye, the tanhua and the civil officials above the third grade such as the Qifeng Pavilion.

This hall was built during the reign of the first emperor, when the Zhou state was at its peak, the emperor made great efforts to actively expand, and collected the taxes of the Zhou state for half a year and all the indemnities of the two countries of Jin and Shuo to build, which was an important symbol of the Zhou state's foreign policy from strategic defense to strategic expansion.

With a broad and broad mind, he has the supreme authority of the world.

Zhao Yingqi took Zhao Tong with the princess to enter the palace by roll call of the fourth rank, and then walked all the way from Youlong Bridge to the top of the jade steps of Shengtian Palace, entered through the east gate, and went directly to the fifth seat in the first row on the east side.

The princess's position is in the third position in the second column.

Along the way, the princess and Zhao Yingqi told in detail the various details of this Shengtian Palace, all the way from the square, in front of hundreds of four or five civil and military officials, very intimate, everyone turned their heads and whispered to Zhao Yingqi, all said that Zhao Yingqi's master and servant entered the Zhou Kingdom It seems that it can be determined.

I don't know who Zhao Yingqi has entered the first armor of the whole Tongying Mansion a few days ago, and now the envoys of the Tongying Mansion are gathered, and the spread of the Tongying Mansion is naturally equivalent to spreading all over the world, plus Zhao Tong, who drew with Li Yuanbai, the master and servant are two head armor masters, and Zhao Yingqi's inner battle has long been famous all over the world with the spread of espionage reports from various countries.

The actions of Zhao Yingqi's master and servant also attracted everyone's attention at this time.

Before going up the jade steps of the Shengtian Palace, the princess grabbed Zhao Yingqi and pointed to a piece of eaves on the southwest side and said: "Look, that is my Yongle Palace, it turned out to be my mother's bedroom, my mother's title is Queen Yongle, and my current title is also Princess Yongle." ”

Zhao Yingqi looked at the palace that was also very magnificent, as well as the large string of wind chimes at the corner of the eaves, and said, "I like that string of wind chimes very much." ”

"Really? I also like it, it was left by my mother, and my father said that the wind chimes were specially reserved for me, so that I could hear the voice of the queen mother when I went to bed at night. The princess's voice was a little low.

Although the princess didn't say it, Zhao Yingqi knew that Empress Yongle died in childbirth because she gave birth to a princess, which was a very uncomfortable memory for the princess, although this memory may not exist in the princess's mind, or only in the words told by her father.

"Empress Yongle's daughter is now Princess Yongle and still lives in Yongle Palace, your father and queen mother hope that you will be happy forever, and I hope too." Zhao Yingqi held the princess's hand and squeezed it gently.

"Well, let's go up, there's still a bunch of links ahead." The princess also held Zhao Yingqi's hand with her backhand, and tried her best to widen her eyes, not wanting tears to flow out, today is her father's happy day, and it is not good to shed tears.

Zhao Yingqi wanted to say something comforting, but the princess had already pulled him to the jade steps first, and Zhao Yingqi, who was following behind, seemed to be able to hear the princess's laughter a little dull, and didn't say anything more.

Zhao Tong also followed the guidance of the princess to look at the eaves and wind chimes of the Yongle Palace behind them, remembering the wind chimes heard in the Ning Wangfu of the Fourth Prince on the night when he first came to Tongying Mansion, and felt that the late Yongle Queen must be a peerless woman, and pursed her lips slightly to keep up with the footsteps of the princess and Zhao Yingqi in front.

And the Wupin civil and military officials who have been seated in a large shed in the square under the jade steps are all talking about the actions of the princess and Zhao Yingqi, and it seems that the rumors that Zhao Yingqi is going to be the concubine of Princess Yongle are true.

When Zhao Yingqi and the princess took their seats, the four princes were already in their respective positions, and the four princes were in the first and second positions in the second row on both sides.

The princess was just honest in her seat for a while, and after the celebrity Huangmen at the entrance of the main hall finished singing, she bowed down and rushed to Zhao Yingqi's seat, holding Zhao Tong's waist while hooking Zhao Yingqi's arm, causing the four princes to frown frequently, and all the four officials looked sideways.

"I'll sue you, it's a big drama later, the three-grade civil and military officials will be called to the table, and then the head armor masters will be called to the table, and after the father and emperor go to the palace and everyone salutes, it will be the audience of the envoys of all the countries in the world."

Ordinary people are basically the limit of the fourth-grade official, if there is no superb intelligence or force, and there is no deep background, the third-grade is difficult to hope for life.

Therefore, most of the fourth-grade officials in the palace are fifty or sixty-year-old ministers, and one by one they have gray hair.

Let such a large group of grandparents star, Zhao Yingqi is still a little uncomfortable, so he has to quietly let the princess be honest.

But the princess didn't follow, only said that she had visited the palace all over the place, but she had only been to this Shengtian Temple a few times, not to mention the freshness, shaking around, just like a kitten who got a new toy.

Just as he was about to pull his arm out of the crook of the princess's arm, the celebrant at the door had already begun to roll call.

The princess was also whispering to Zhao Yingqi.

Most of the three officials are the chief officials of the six departments of the three provinces, and we will talk about it later.

Let's talk about this armor master first. In order of entering the temple, they are:

Lian Yulong, Prince Yu, General Sanpin Yunlu, led the Four Guards Forbidden Army. The younger brother of the monarch of Zhou, because the monarch of Zhou saved his mother's concubine, he supported the monarch of Zhou to ascend the throne and was named Prince Jade. And because the queen took good care of him back then, and his eldest sister-in-law was like a mother, she loved Lian Qingmeng very much. Because his childhood experience is very similar to that of the Four Princes, he also prefers the Four Princes. The head armor master, the weapon is a two-handed giant sword (cold light), a dual-wielding dagger (Yan Shuangfei). It is known as "killing no big and small".

Yao Xingyan, Zhou Guozhengxiang, Sanpin Officials Shangshu, Lingshang Shuling. The head armor is a master, and the weapon is a four-foot sword "Wentian". He is known as "Wu Tianguan".

Li Yuanbai, the secretary of the military department, the general of Sanpin Yunlu, led the four guards forbidden army. galloped on the battlefield for most of his life, had no children under his knees, only had a daughter (Li Qingfang) at the age of forty-seven, he was a staunch imperial general in the Zhou State, and followed the left and right from the time when the monarch of the Zhou State was still the prince, so Li Yuanbai had a very high status in the Zhou State both in the court and in the army. The head armor master, the main weapons are the round-bladed giant bow, the white rainbow long sword, and the four steel lances. He is known as the "God of War".

Lu Wen, the third rank of the Zhou State, has the right to refute the seal, and likes to patrol all places. The head armor master, the weapon is the three-foot sword "Qinglu". It is known as "hard to open a single mouth".

Han Jie, the general of Zhou Guosanpin Yunlu, led the four guards of the forbidden army. A seventy-four-year-old veteran and an important minister of the three dynasties. The head armor is master, and the weapon is a nine-section steel whip. It is called "every degree".

Shang Ke, the third grade of the Zhou State, the secretary of the criminal department, advocates the rule of law. The head armor is a master, and the weapon is the judge's pen. It is called "whether the pen is admissible".

Zhang Han, General Sanpin Yunlu, led the Four Guards Forbidden Army, was not good at the art of war, and was mainly responsible for military training and military affairs. The head armor master, the weapon cold light blade is called "white silk", thin as cicada wings, soft as green leaves, and kept hard when it is needed to infuse with internal force. The knife technique seems to be righteous and bold, but it is actually secretive. It is known as "tepid".

There is not much money, Sanpin Hubu Shangshu, born in business, good at business, attacking Chunnei Road to dredge the river in Jiaxian County is his proposal, and he is also responsible for the operation of the inter-state money village organization in the Zhou State. The head armor master, the weapon is a golden abacus. People call it "not much money", and the DPRK and China jokingly call it "iron rooster".

Finally, Song Lao, who followed the emperor into the palace, did not sit at the table, but stood behind the emperor on the left side.

Song Lao, the waiter in Sanpin, the eunuch, the head armor master around the monarch of Zhou in the palace, such as Lao Song into the Ding, it is generally difficult to be detected, and the monarch calls him the old pine head. The head armor is a master, the weapon is an iron whisk (all Zhang), and he is also very good at fists and feet. It is known as "bearded hair".

Zhao Yingqi looked at the top armor masters who entered the hall one by one, a total of nine, four scholars, four martial arts and one eunuch, the first four seats in the first row on the east and west sides, and one stood behind the emperor.

Zhao Yingqi couldn't help but doubt his inference a few days ago, these nine masters surrounded the Emperor of Zhou and the four princes in the palace, as well as himself and Zhao Tong, the nine top masters plus himself and Zhao Tong were afraid that they would be able to wipe out the Jin and Shuo countries in only two or three months, and he could actually deduce that someone would do something at the birthday banquet, it seemed that he really thought too much.
