Chapter 44 Go to Zhongdu again in the autumn rain

Shaanzhou is also known as Qin, if the imperial court has a Qin king, most of them will use this state as a fief, but if you want to build a palace, it does not necessarily have to be in Shaanzhou, it can also be built in the middle capital.

As the land of Emperor Xiao's dragon rejuvenation, when the city was originally competing for the world, the city was a small imperial court, in which all the yamen were complete, and at that time, Emperor Xiao and the major magnates lived in this city, and there were countless mansions of the magnates.

After Emperor Xiao set the world, the major yamen and magnates in the city moved to the imperial capital one after another, the original Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion have now become the Governor's Mansion of the Northwest Army and the Three Divisions of the Central Capital Yamen respectively, and the original Qiandi has become the royal palace, and when Xiao Zhinan came to the northwest, he stayed here.

The Governor's Mansion, the Three Divisions Yamen, and the Palace are only separated by a wall, of which the Palace is in the middle, and the other two Xuanhe Mansions are one left and one right, and the three occupy the highest place in the central capital, as if a monarch, a minister and a general overlook the northwest.

Today, a cold rain fell on Zhongdu, casting a layer of fog on this majestic city.

More than 1,000 northwest cavalry soldiers wearing black armor braved the wind and rain on the post road, allowing the rain to flow slowly along the armor lines, unmoved, swords and halberds, silent and solemn.

In addition to the rustling of rain, there was only the sound of clashing armor and horses' hooves.

The leader is a veteran, also dressed in pitch-black armor, with long hair and chest.

The veteran's gaze was heavy on the rain curtain, looking at the end of the post road, where there was a faintly visible majestic city, as high as the mountain, Wei Wei was like a wall standing a thousand people, and people stood under it, as small as ants.

If you only talk about the height of the city wall and the majesty of the city wall, Zhongdu is undoubtedly the most in the world, even the imperial capital cannot be compared.

Beside the veteran was a young man wearing a hat and carrying a sword box, he stood on his horse with his reins in his arms, looking up at Zhongdu, silent.

Wen Ci pointed at Zhongdu with the horsewhip in his hand, and asked with a smile, "Young Master Xu, how is it?"

Xu Beiyou slowly spit out two words, "Zhuang!"

Wen Ci said with a smile: "Lord Du Du has been waiting in the city for a long time at this time. ”

Xu Beiyou nodded and continued to urge the horse to go.

The winding cavalry slowly moved through the rain, and as they approached the city, one of the cavalrymen broke away from the group and galloped away towards the center.

At this time, Xu Beiyou could already see the city gate of Zhongdu, which was not an ordinary style of two city gates, but a square broken dragon stone.

A moment later, with the sound of rumbling crashes and rattling iron cables, this "city gate" with a height of 30 zhang slowly rose upward, revealing the city gate hole behind it that could allow more than ten horsemen to ride in parallel.

This is the main entrance of Zhongdu.

A group of more than 1,000 people slowly entered the city gate, Xu Beiyou was full of emotion, different from the last time he entered the city from the side gate, this time he entered from the main gate, in order to really appreciate the majesty of the middle capital, but Zhang Wuxian deliberately let people open the main gate, what does it mean? Is it to get close to the surface, or to demonstrate to him?

5n genuine debut

Xu Beiyou's face hidden in the shadow of the hat was slightly dark.

After entering the city gate, it is the urn city, and the urn city is set of urn city, and the terrain is increasing step by step, so there is more than one city wall of the middle capital city, and there is more than one city gate, layer upon layer, after passing through three city gates, it is considered to enter the middle capital city. If you look at it from the side, the whole middle capital city is like a triangle, the palace is at the top corner, and the two city gates facing the Xiheyuan and the grassland are at the bottom corner, and the rest of the yamen and mansions are arranged in order from high to low according to their different statuses.

Someone once joked that the middle capital city is the most hierarchical city, and the most powerful people will inevitably stand on the highest place.

At this time, Zhang Wuxi, the most powerful person in the central capital, was standing in a watchtower in the governor's mansion, looking down.

Today's Zhang Wuxian deliberately wore the gorgeous official uniform of a military attachΓ©, embroidered with a red unicorn on a black background, and his majesty was extraordinary.

Daqi has always advocated the color of black, followed by red, gold, white, and blue, and there is no clear distinction between the four colors, but the people who use them are different.

Usually the official uniforms have the color of vermilion, but the formal auspicious clothes are mainly in the dark color, the civil and military officials are supplemented by red, the clan nobles are supplemented by gold, and the rest of the people are supplemented by cyan, and women are the exception, not using the dark color, but mainly white, and then according to the identity of the husband or father, the auxiliary color is different.

Take Xiao Zhinan as an example, her auspicious clothes are white, because her father is the emperor of the dynasty, so the auxiliary color is Xuan, and Wu Yu's father belongs to civil and military officials, so the auxiliary color is red.

Although the official uniform Xu Beiyou was wearing at this time was not auspicious, it was really in accordance with the regulations of auspicious clothing, which shows his solemn meaning for this meeting.

A young lieutenant came to the door and saluted respectfully: "Governor Qiyu, Wendutong has entered the city." ”

Zhang Wuxian silently said "here".

He instructed: "Let people prepare for the reception feast, not too many people." ”

The lieutenant took the order and left.

In a bleak wind and rain, Xu Beiyou and his party walked slowly up along the main road in the city, passing in front of the gate of the Northwest Dark Guard Mansion on the way, only to see that the gate of the Dark Guard Mansion was closed, and only two stone lions stood in the wind and rain, which looked a little desolate and cold.

Listening to Li Yanliang, since a major event two years ago, the Northwest Secret Guard Mansion has plummeted, as if it is a broken muscle, and has not recovered its vitality, in the past two years, Lu Shen, the acting governor of the capital, has never been able to remove the word "generation" on his head, and he has been closed all day long, and he seems to have been disheartened, I don't know if it is because of his unsmooth career.

Speaking of Lu Shen, Xu Beiyou suddenly remembered the wheel king of the Demon Suppression Palace, this wheel king can be said to be extremely unlucky, he died twice, first outside Dunhuang City was killed by Gongsun Zhongmou once, and then died directly under the sword of Zhuxian in Jiangdu City, ashes and ashes, and his soul was scattered.

Next, Xu Beiyou also passed in front of the gate of Chonglongguan, and Chonglongguan, which had been slaughtered by the Secret Guard Mansion, was a little angry again, and a young Zhike Taoist was standing in front of the mountain gate, and his robe was wet by the rain.

Through the rain curtain, you can vaguely see the nine-storey pavilion at the highest place in the Chonglong Temple, in order to imply the supreme supernatural power of the Taoist ancestors, there are ten thousand golden lamps in it, every grand festival, the deacon Taoist in the view will light up all the golden lamps, the lights are brilliant as day, the grandeur is as vast as the fairy house, the whole pavilion shines brightly, the whole middle capital city can see the magnificent scene here, like the heavenly fairy palace.

At the beginning, Xu Beiyou went to Chonglongguan in order to see the scene of ten thousand golden lanterns, which led to later events.

When he saw a group of iron horsemen passing by, the young acquaintance's face still showed a little curiosity, it should be that he had just arrived in Zhongzhong for a long time, and he was not used to the coming and going of iron horses in the city.

It seems that the matter of Chonglongguan has come to an end, but I don't know what the Demon Suppression Hall has discussed, and what kind of price the Dark Guard Mansion has paid.

After passing the Chonglong Temple and walking about half a pillar of incense, Xu Beiyou entered the innermost city of Zhongdu, and he could already see the highest palace.

Xu Beiyou suddenly said to Wen Ci: "Wen Dutong, Xu Beiyou is here this time, full of wind and dust, if you rashly come to meet Zhang Dudu, I am afraid that it will be rude, so I want to ask Wen Dutong to find a place for Xu, and after I change my clothes, I will enter the house." ”

Wen Ci was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "That's exactly the reason." ”

Li Yanliang took the initiative to say, "Young Master Xu, please come with me." ”

After a short time, Xu Beiyou, who had taken out a brocade dress from the sword box, walked into the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army.
