After Xia Xu left Nanyi City, he continued to move forward without stopping.

After a hundred miles of Nanyi City, it is Naner City.

This is the second city to rebel against the Desolate Territory!

If Xia Xu wants to go to the imperial city, he must pass through three cities.

This Naner City was also renamed by the city lord, just to get out of the barren territory!

But now he's scared!

Nan Anyan, the city lord of Naner City, he was extremely scared!

The city lord of Nanyi City, along with the news that more than a thousand henchmen were killed by Xia Xu with a sword, had already been sent to him by a flying pigeon!

Nan'an Yan had no choice but to abandon the city and flee!

With his family, with gold and silver, with a small number of personal soldiers, with more than a dozen of his concubines, he went to the manors of other territories to seek refuge with his distant relatives!

In this way, Naner City naturally has no owner!

Xia Xu walked through Nan'er City, and all the soldiers and people in the city knelt down!

In this way, Xia Xu walked through Naner City unhindered!

And immediately behind Xia Xu was the Shence Army from the God of War Castle!

Captain Shence drove straight into the city and went straight into the city!

Xiao Chun was heroic and sassy, and directly issued a notice: "The barren territory recovers the city, and all the dignitaries and dignitaries hand over money and grain!"

"Nan'er City, you need 20,000 strong men to join the Shence Army!"

"Xiao Chun is temporarily the CEO of Naner City, acting city lord!"

In this way, Xia Xu continued to ride forward, and arrived at the South Ring City.

The South Ring City had already known the situation of the other two cities through the Flying Pigeon Legend, and the city lord Xu Rui was helpless, he could only surrender!

Not for anything else, just because this city lord loves the people more, in order to avoid killing, he also knows the strength of Xia Xu and his army, so he has to surrender!

Xu Rui went out of the city to greet Xia Xu!

Surrender around the city in the south!

Xia Xu didn't stop, he went straight to the imperial city!

Behind him, there is naturally a Desolate Knights to handle all affairs for Xia Xu!

The three demon fox sisters occupied the South Ring City, and they also issued a notice!

"Conscription!

Xia Xu left alone and rode on the road alone!

Soon, the Loess Territory will go out, and the Loess Territory will become extremely chaotic due to the death of the lord!

Fortunately, there is still the Rock Army in the rear to follow Xia Xu's trajectory and subdue each town one by one!

At this point, Xia Xu has walked through the loess territory, and most of the loess territory belongs to the barren territory!

This is not only overbearing!

It's king!

Out of the loess territory, there were immediately 20,000 troops of the Tiger Knights to escort Xia Xu!

After all, Xia Xu is now powerful in the world, and he will inevitably attract the jealousy and assassination of many people!

Even though Xia Xu was not afraid of this, Zong Hu considered it very well, at least it saved Xia Xu a lot of trouble.

Save yourself the hassle, you save the time!

Now, time is of the essence!

The Imperial City, soon to arrive!

In the capital building of the Eastern Sui Kingdom, the area between the capital and the palace where the emperor and the imperial family lived, was surrounded by a city wall and had an independent city gate.

Buildings such as temples, government offices, inner court service institutions, warehouses and defenses, as well as gardens and gardens are usually arranged in the imperial city.

In the Northern Wei Dynasty of the Middle Ages, when the capital was moved to Luoyang, the city of Luoyang was rebuilt, and at this time, the remnants of the old city of Luoyang in the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period were arranged as an inner city similar to the imperial city, and palaces, gardens, palaces, government offices and other institutions were arranged in a centralized manner.

The earliest use of the word "imperial city" in the history of Longchen Continent was the Daxing City built by the Sui Dynasty, and the imperial city was arranged in the south of the palace city.

Luoyang, the eastern capital of the building, also adopted a similar layout.

Kaifeng City, Yuan Dadu, Ming Zhongdu, Ming Nanjing City, and Ming and Qing Castles also adopted similar layouts.

Among the neighboring countries, Goryeo once set up an imperial city in Kaegyung, and Hue in Vietnam also set up an imperial city.

However, the Imperial City of Hue is closer to the palace city in terms of layout, and its Forbidden City is equivalent to the inner court part of the Forbidden City.

Gates and walls have a special meaning for a city.

From a certain point of view, it can even be a representation and symbol of a city.

"It is the one after another, the walls, that make up the skeleton or structure of each one...... There is no city without walls, just as a house without a roof is inconceivable. ”

Indeed, no matter how large, important, or well governed, this neighborhood cannot be counted as a city in the traditional sense of the word, as long as it is not bounded and surrounded by walls.

This is true of any city, and the Imperial City is no exception.

It is precisely because of the circle of red walls and yellow tiles that the imperial city has soared from a geographical area exclusive to the royal to a real city.

The Chengtian façade is five rooms wide and three rooms deep. After the reconstruction of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty in eight years, the city platform is thirteen meters high, the lower part is a two-meter white marble Sumeru seat, and the upper part of the brickwork is painted with vermilion!

The city floor is nine rooms wide, five rooms deep, in response to the meaning of "Ninety-Five, Flying Dragon in the Sky" in the "Zhou Yi", the building is surrounded by the white marble stone railing, and the building body is the yellow glazed tile roof of the heavy eaves rest mountain!

There are five arched doorways in the lower part of the tall city platform, which is the actual gate of Tiananmen Square. Of the five openings, the middle one is the largest, and this one is the highest level, and only the emperor can pass through it.

The remaining four doorways are lined up on the left and right. It was reduced in turn, allowing the princes of the clan and civil and military officials above the third rank to enter and exit. The outermost two openings are the smallest, and each is a passage for officials below the fourth rank.

Dong'anmen is located in the middle of the eastern wall of the imperial city, south-of-the-middle.

Its gate is west to the Donghua Gate of the palace city, and the east is to the "Huang'en Bridge" of the Jade River (the Jade River is the Tonghui River of the Yuan, which is still a transportation channel, and the sound of noise reaches the palace).

The east wall of the imperial city was moved to the east bank of the Jade River, and the Dong'an Gate was also moved east to the east side of the Huang'en Bridge, enclosing the Jade River into the imperial city and becoming a Cao Canal channel exclusively for the royal family.

The goods entering Beijing from all over the country were transported to the "Haizi" (Jishuitan) in the city through the water of the Yuhe River, and the move was abolished. The building regulations of Dong'anmen are basically the same as those of Xi'an Gate and Bei'anmen (Di'anmen), but the orientation is different. The former site of Dong'anmen in the west of the original Huang'en Bridge was rebuilt as Dong'anli Gate.

Xi'an Gate is located in the middle of the western wall of the imperial city to the north. It is not on the same line as Dong'anmen!

Dong'an Gate is opposite to the Donghua Gate of the Miyagi, while the Xi'an Gate is not directly accessible from the Xihua Gate because there is a large area of water in the West Garden on the west side of the Miyagi. It had to set up Xi'an Gate in the north of the west wall of the imperial city, which was passed through the passage between Beihai and Zhonghai.

Xi'an Gate has no city platform, the door base is blue and white stone, red wall!

Single eaves rest mountain yellow glazed tile roof; face wide seven rooms, into the depth of three rooms, in the middle of the bright room and the left, right secondary room for the door, each has a pair of red lacquer gold nail door leaf, left, right slightly and the end of the room for the duty room.

Di'anmen is located in the middle of the north wall of the imperial city, facing Jingshan Mountain in the south and the Bell and Drum Tower in the north. Di'anmen was built in Mingyong and has been rebuilt in other years. The architectural forms and regulations of the Di'anmen Gate in the imperial city of the Qing Dynasty were exactly the same as those of Dong'an and Xi'an.

There were goose wing row houses on the left and right sides of Di'anmen.

Daming Gate is located on the central axis of the city, is the outer gate of Tiananmen, the main gate of the imperial city of the Ming and Qing dynasties, also known as "the first gate of the imperial city", was built in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and was later renamed "Daqing Gate", and renamed "Zhonghua Gate".

Daming Gate, three que, huge eaves heavy ridge, there are stone lions on the south side of the door, a pair of dismounted steles respectively. There is a pair of couplets hanging on the door of the Ming Dynasty, which is the handwriting of Xie Jin, a scholar of the early Ming Dynasty, the upper link is "the sun and the moon and the light of the day", and the lower book is "the residence of the emperor of mountains and rivers".

On the north side of the door, there are 100 east-west corridor rooms, called "Thousand Steps Corridor"!

There are the left gate of Chang'an and the right gate of Chang'an on the east and west sides, and Chang'an Street is named after the two gates, which means long-term stability.

The regulations of the two doors are exactly the same, the door is three, the coupon door, the white marble threshold, the single-layer mountain yellow glazed tile roof, the red wall, and the foundation is the white marble Sumeru.

The left gate of Chang'an is the east compound gate of Tiananmen Square in the imperial city.

After the palace examination, the yellow list with the name of the middle jinshi was hung in the temporary dragon shed outside the left gate of Chang'an under the guidance of the drum music staff.

The lifters have gathered here to see the list, once the title of the gold list, it is like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, so the ancient people also called this gate "Dragon Gate", or "Confucian Holy Gate", which is attached to the meaning of "left green dragon, right white tiger", also known as "green dragon gate".

Every year, the "autumn trial" and "court trial" are held in this gate, when the death row prisoners from all provinces and criminal departments must enter this gate for interrogation, and those who are confirmed to be undoubtedly tied to the execution ground will be executed.

As soon as the prisoner enters the right gate of Chang'an, it is like entering the mouth of the tiger, and there is more than auspicious, so the door is also called "Tiger Gate"!

In order to attach the meaning of "left green dragon, right white tiger", this door is also called "white tiger door".

Between the Imperial City and the Forbidden City, there are twelve more gates. Their presence adds an additional line of defense between the Imperial City and the Forbidden City. The twelve gates include:

Four gates in the north: North Gate, North West Gate, North Middle Gate!

Four gates on the east side: East Gate, East South Gate, East North Gate, East Middle Gate!

Four gates on the west side: West Gate, West Gate, West Gate, West Gate, West Middle Gate.

Some of these gates have already been demolished due to the changes in the streets and alleys of the imperial city!

In ancient times, the Imperial City was a fully enclosed city surrounded by tall imperial walls. The Imperial City Wall is also known as the Xiao Wall, and its circumference and shape vary from dynasty to dynasty.

The imperial city wall of the imperial city of Beijing in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the wall is red, and the top is covered with yellow glazed tiles. The wall is eight feet high, six feet five inches wide at the bottom, and five feet two inches wide at the top. The circumference of the Ming Emperor's city wall is more than 18 miles, and the circumference has reached more than 20 miles after several expansions in the Qing Dynasty. Our ancestors used such a circle of red walls and yellow tiles to clearly sketch a city within a city that is unparalleled in the world and perfect.

In the past, the inner hall of the imperial city stood nearby, and the landscape was dense. There are not only tall and majestic palaces, but also blue bricks and gray tiles of courtyards, both the rippling blue waves of the three seas, and the tall and beautiful Jingshan.

However, in the imperial city, whether it is a building or a scenic spot, they have only one function, that is, to serve the emperor and the imperial palace. All the key buildings in the Imperial City have this feature in them.

If you look down from above, you will find that it is in harmony with the Forbidden City regardless of the form, regulation and pattern of the building. Although today they have long been transformed into leisure and amusement places for ordinary people, they play an irreplaceable and important role in the former imperial city. They are the old emperor's ancestral temple and the shrine altar of the god of Sheji, and their existence symbolizes the arch of clan power and divine power to the imperial power.

Xia Xu walked in the imperial city.

While feeling the atmosphere of the imperial city, he admired the scale of the imperial city of the Eastern Sui Kingdom!

It's just that there's no real dragon vein here!

Since there is no real dragon vein, it can only explain one thing!

The Eastern Sui Kingdom will be finished sooner or later!

Taimiao enjoy the hall, the main hall, the sleeping hall, the second hall, the temple, the third hall is the main building in the temple. The opposite side of the main hall is the euphorbia gate, there is the jade belt river outside the door, there is the bridge Wu seat on the river, then the south is the five-color glazed door, there are the slaughtering house, the animal control room, the well pavilion and other buildings outside the door.

The officials of the Tiger Knights who accompanied Xia Xu introduced the greatness of their imperial city to Xia Xu one by one!

The shrine altar is the place where the emperor worships the god of the shrine. "She" and "Ji" are two legendary gods who are in charge of the land and grains, respectively.

Its former site is Manju Xingguo Temple.

Later, the Ming system was followed, and the shrine was repaired many times.

Sheji altar sits in the south and faces north, into a square, four feet high, divided into two layers, the upper layer is five zhang square, the second layer is five zhang and three feet, the four sides are out of the majesty, each four levels, the altar is set up on the four sides of the white marble star gate.

The five-colored soil on the altar, the middle yellow, the east green, the south red, the west white, and the north black symbolize the national land, that is, "the whole world is not the king's land".

There is a worship hall in the north of the altar, also known as the sacrificial hall or the hall of enjoyment!

The whole building of the main hall of the Emperor Shichen is a brick and stone structure, and there are no beams and columns on the roof in the palace, which is also called "the hall without beams".

The walls of the main hall are up to six meters thick, and the indoor temperature is relatively constant, and the stone windows on the north and south walls can make the air convection.

There is a white marble seat of more than two meters high in the main hall, and there are more than 100 copper camphor cabinets with gilt carved dragons placed on it, which is the "golden kui". Due to the peculiar building of the "Golden Stone Room", it has the characteristics of fireproof, moisture-proof, and moth-proof, plus it has been carefully preserved in the past dynasties!

The basic layout of the imperial city has not been changed significantly, but the main building has been repaired and rebuilt many times.

The imperial city has gone through five or six hundred years of rain and rain in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the construction and operation of dozens of dynasties of emperors have reached today's scale.

Because of its huge construction scale and superb architectural skills, it has become the only well-preserved feudal imperial city, and it is also the largest and best-preserved royal complex in the whole continent!

The Imperial City is not a regular square.

In order to hold various major events, the builders specially planned a T-shaped palace square in the south of the imperial city, called the "Thousand Steps Corridor".

A corner of the southwest of the Imperial City was missing. There are different opinions on the reason for the lack of corners, and the most recognized one is that the southwest corner of the imperial city is the ancient temple Qingshou Temple of the Jin Dynasty!

In addition to the tall and majestic palace buildings and sacrificial facilities in the imperial city, there is also a large part of the royal garden for the emperor and queen to enjoy and entertain.

Xiyuan Sanhai and Jingshan are outstanding representatives of the imperial gardens in the imperial city.

Xiyuan Sanhai is the general name of the North Sea, the Middle Sea and the South China Sea, located in a historic and well-preserved royal garden complex.

Its overall planning belongs to the layout of "one pond and three mountains", that is, the embodiment of the legend of the three immortal mountains in the Middle East Sea (Penglai, Abbot, Yingzhou).

The total area of Xiyuan Sanhai is more than 2,500 acres, the water surface is nearly 1,300 acres, the water surface in the park is broad, the scenery is thousands, there are many scenic spots such as Qionghua Island, Yingtai, Shuiyunxue, Fengze Garden, Ziguang Pavilion, Jingxinzhai, etc., the ancients once praised this place as "a famous spot in the capital", "the scenery is better than the Yuanming".

Therefore, the place is close to the Forbidden City, and it is an important place for the emperors in the past to enjoy the scenery and feast. The history of Xiyuan Sanhai as a royal garden is very long.

Rulers of the ancient era have built palaces here.

The Great Gao Xuan Hall sits in the north and faces south, and there are three original arches and two Xi Li Pavilion outside the gate, all of which are demolished when the street is expanded after liberation.

There are key buildings such as the Great Gao Xuanmen, the Great Gao Xuandian, the Thunder Altar, the Qianyuan Pavilion and so on, and now basically maintain the original style.

In addition to the distribution of royal palaces, imperial gardens, altar temples in the imperial city, there are many institutions such as government offices, imperial treasury and workshops dedicated to the daily life of the court, such as the Ciqiku Hutong and Satin Warehouse Hutong in Dongcheng District are the former sites of the imperial treasury.

In addition, there are the former sites of the Accounting Department and the Salary Department of Xicheng District!

The former site of the royal workshop such as the painting work near Di'anmen Square, etc.

Most of these institutions are low, courtyard-style buildings with gray bricks and gray tiles.

Looking from the sky, the blue bricks and gray tiles and the golden brilliance complement each other, constituting a unique scenery in the imperial city in the past!

There are also two water systems in the imperial city, east and west, which meet in the southeast corner of the imperial city.

The west branch is the water system of the Jinshui River, which enters the imperial city from the Xibuliang Bridge outside Di'anmen and flows into the three seas of Xiyuan.

It has two branches:

The north is from the east of the silkworm altar in the Beihai to the garden wall, and then through the Banqiao and Jingshan West Gate, surrounds the Forbidden City, that is, the tube river outside the Forbidden City today, and the inner Jinshui River that flows in front of the Taihe Gate and the Taimiao in the Forbidden City is also a branch of this river.

South by the east of the South China Sea, out of the garden wall, through the Weaver Girl Bridge, and then by the front of the Anmen outside the Jinshui Bridge under the flow, and through the left gate of Chang'an north Calamus River, and the Forbidden City in the inner Jinshui River confluence, across the Feihong Bridge, to the southeast corner of the imperial city, and the east branch of the confluence, and then to the south into the moat.

To this day, most of the Jinshui River system, including the Inner and Outer Jinshui River and the Xiyuan Sanhai, are still intact, and a small part of them, such as the Weaver Girl Bridge, has long been lost due to the change of the river channel.

This river flows through the front of the gate and the Forbidden City, and plays an important practical role in the old imperial city as a source of fire protection in the imperial city and the Forbidden City.

The east branch is the royal river, as mentioned earlier, this river played an actual role in the imperial city in the Ming Dynasty, this river comes from Shichahai, enters the imperial city from the east step beam bridge outside Di'anmen, passes through the east plate bridge, to the north arrow pavilion and turns south, weeping poplar sandwich bank, is said to be along the north river.

Then south through the Dong'anmen Wang'en Bridge, is said to be along the South River, to the west of Tangzi, the southeast corner of the imperial city, at the Jinshui River confluence, and then into the moat.

Recently, the walls of the imperial city have been demolished in many places, and the mud and rubble are everywhere, and those who see it are dazzling, and those who walk avoid it. It is not necessary for transportation, why destroy it arbitrarily, without any regrets!

The Imperial City's yesterday was brilliant, its today is splendid, and its tomorrow will be equally brilliant and colorful.

"Zhongfu Longpan", "Emperor's Mansion" of the feng shui treasure.

With the imperial city and the palace city as the main body, a series of buildings designed to highlight the "sacredness" of the imperial power as the content, and the highest central administrative agency in the country as the core area of the Ming Empire, it is composed of two parts, the imperial city and the palace city, which are collectively called the imperial palace. The imperial city is outside, and the palace is inside.

As the closest wall to guard the palace, the Imperial Castle surrounds the palace, but it is not built at an equidistant distance.

The extension of the west wall of the imperial city caused the distance from Xihua Gate to Xi'an Gate to be about twice as long as the distance from Donghua Gate to Dong'an Gate.

The south gate of the imperial city is Hongwu Gate, located in the north of Zhengyang Gate in the capital, after entering Hongwu Gate, it is the thousand-step corridor of north and south, there are continuous corridor houses built on both sides, from south to north, to the horizontal street in front of Chengtian Gate turns to the east and west respectively and becomes a curved ruler shape.

On the river inside and outside the palace, in addition to the inner and outer five dragon bridges, there is also a "green dragon bridge" near the left gate of Chang'an, and a "white tiger bridge" is built near the right gate of Chang'an, that is, the so-called "left green dragon, right white tiger" system commonly used in Kanyushu. Under the imperial wall in the southwest corner of the imperial city, it is the location of the eunuchs and eunuchs. Other departments, bureaus, warehouses, houses, factories and other institutions serving the imperial court were set up in the palace city, and some were located in the imperial city.

Xia Xu is familiar with these structures and structures by heart!

These will be used soon!

All the squares and plaques on the Nanjing Palace are said to be handwritten by Zhan Xiyuan. The bricks of the Miyagi city wall were burned by military workers in the local area of Yingtianfu in the early days, and later some bricks fired in other places were used in the reconstruction of Miyagi.

Although the "big wall" here cannot be compared with the palace city, the imperial city, the capital city and the outer Guo city wall, the building materials and migrant workers consumed by it are considerable.

At that time, the imperial court was fully responsible for the construction of Nanjing, and the Ministry of Industry was its primary task.

The unit specifically responsible for the construction of the Imperial City is the camp repair office, which is still under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry.

The office is located on Tongjimen Street. After Zhu Yuanzhang moved from the "old interior" to the "new palace", the original residence of the Yuan Imperial Shi Dafu became the location of the Yingtianfu Administration.
