Who knew that behind Songbai, someone patted him: "You can't leave, you have to invite me to drink? I was not happy to drink the wedding wine in Hangzhou last time, so I have to make up for it this time." β
Songbai turned around and was taken aback, it turned out that it was Qian Yun, the leader of the beggar gang who he was looking for in Longhu Mountain, and the two of them quickly opened their arms and hugged each other.
"Brother Qian, I haven't seen you for a long time, let's go in, brothers, let's go in together, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return," Songbai pulled Qian Yun, and the beggar disciples behind him also walked in with sticks.
"You ......" The man wanted to step forward to stop the group of beggars from coming in, but the shopkeeper grabbed him and whispered in his ear: "Go and greet the guests, don't care if he is a beggar or a prince, come to us, give money is the uncle, go, beckon the guests to go." β
The little second brother walked over reluctantly, took off the towel and wiped the table, with a look of contempt: "Masters, what do you want to eat? Hurry up, you don't owe credit here!"
"It's okay, little second brother, good wine and good food, just come up, there are two silver. Songbai took out the silver ticket given by the old man from his arms, which were two silver tickets of one thousand taels, the little second brother looked a little incredulous, took it and carefully checked it back and forth under the light, and then put the silver ticket back on the table and told the shopkeeper.
"The dog's eyes look down on people, I'm sorry! When Lao Tzu is rich and becomes an official, he has to take money to stone you to death, a dog minion. The little beggar with a flower-faced face, stepping on the stool, pointed to the distant Xiao Er and scolded.
"Forget it, just ignore him, come on, come on, full of it, let's get drunk today and not go home." Songbai poured everyone full of wine one by one, raised the wine bowl and said.
Everyone stood up and touched each other: "Come, let's make this bowl of wine first, and then we will be friends and brothers, let's do it." Songbai led the wine to drink, turned the bowl over, and showed everyone before sitting down.
"Come on, it's time to serve, the big guy let me go, don't drip the oil on my body," the little second brother took his guys and brought all the dishes one by one.
"Come on, come on, eat vegetables, don't patronize and drink, eat some food to fill your stomach first," Songbai got up and picked up vegetables for Zhongbo.
"I can't help it, uncle, I'll come by myself, you sit and drink, don't worry about me, I'm old, I don't have any appetite for anything. Zhongbo hurriedly got up and caught the dishes from the pine and cypress with a bowl.
"I said, Brother Qian, what is inside this high wall? You run a lot of territory, you have seen a lot, tell your brother, don't ask about it and make jokes. Songbai stood up again and poured wine for the audience and asked.
Qian Yun spilled, took a sip, his face was a little flushed, and pointed to the high wall opposite and said: "Within this high wall! That is this imperial city, it is located in the area between this capital and the palace where the emperor and the imperial family live, surrounded by a city wall, with a separate city gate.
Within this imperial city, there are temples, government offices, inner court service institutions, royal forest gardens, warehouses and defense buildings.
This imperial city is about eighteen miles long, a total of six city gates, namely: Daming Gate (also known as Chengtian Gate, the main gate of the imperial city, located in the middle of the south wall of the imperial city, take the meaning of Chengtian Qiyun, by the meaning of heaven. Under the tall city platform of Chengtianmen, there are five arched doorways, the middle door hole is the largest, it is the emperor's access to the special use, next to the two doorways, it is the prince's relatives, and the civil and military officials above the third grade enter and exit, the smallest two doorways, is the passage of the civil and military officials below the fourth grade, Chang'an left gate, Chang'an right gate, Dong'an gate, Xi'an gate, Houzai gate (also known as Di'an Gate), this city gate is guarded by the brocade guards, the Praetorian Guard, all those who want to enter this imperial city, must be a non-rich and noble person, or a prominent high-ranking official, can enter, otherwise you are easy to enter, it is difficult to come out, accidentally caught, that is a big crime to kill the headοΌ
Entering from the imperial city is the palace city, also known as the Forbidden City, which is the residence of the emperor and his concubines, located in the center of the central axis of Yanjing, and is the essence of ancient Chinese court architecture. The Yanjing Imperial Palace is centered on the three major halls, covering an area of 720,000 square meters, with a construction area of about 150,000 square meters, more than 70 large and small palaces, and more than 9,000 houses.
There is a gate on each side of the Forbidden City wall, the south is the Wuwu Gate, the north is the Shenwu Gate, the east is the Donghua Gate, and the west is the Xihua Gate. The four corners of the city wall have four intricately designed corner towers.
The Yanjing Imperial Palace began to be built in the fourth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, and was built on the basis of the Nanjing Imperial Palace, and was completed in the eighteenth year of Yongle. It is a rectangular city, 961 meters long from north to south, 753 meters wide from east to west, surrounded by a wall 10 meters high on all sides, and a moat with a width of 52 meters outside the city. The buildings in the Forbidden City are divided into two parts: the outer court and the inner court. The center of the outer dynasty is the Taihe Palace, the Zhonghe Palace, and the Baohe Palace, collectively referred to as the three major halls, which are the places where the state holds great ceremonies. The center of the inner court is the Qianqing Palace, the Jiaotai Palace, and the Kunning Palace, collectively known as the Hou Three Palaces, which are the main palaces where the emperor and empress live. β
Qian Yun took a breath and told Yu Song about the world inside the high walls one by one, and everyone was in a fog, Qin Ningyun slapped the table and stood up: "If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely go in to see the excitement, and it will not be in vain to come to this Jingshi!"
Everyone laughed, and Songbai raised the wine bowl: "Come, let's make another bowl together, thousands of miles together, that's fate!"
Songbai picked up the wine bowl and saw that the person sitting next to him was the noble son who rescued him outside the city gate, so he put down the wine bowl and walked straight over.
This noble son, dressed in a gorgeous brocade dress, has a very white face, red lips and white teeth, a small cherry mouth, and a black mole in his eyebrows.
"What are you doing? This is the capital, so I can't help you here?"
Songbai then bent down and lowered his head and hugged his fist: "Thank you Gongzi for saving me outside the city, I am grateful for Songbai in Xiaxia, it is better to meet by chance, it is better to move over there, let me thank you for your help." β
The noble prince waved his hand and said: "Great grace is not thanks, you and I are both people in the rivers and lakes, and we should see that the road is uneven, draw a sword to help, as for this wine, I don't like to be lively, especially ...... I'm sorry, another day, another day. The noble prince picked up the folding fan, opened it gently, and pointed to the beggar disciple and said.
"Oh, then it's not reluctant, Childe, you use it slowly, man, remember the wine and food on this table, and I'll tie you up later," Songbai shouted loudly, then nodded and bent down to return to the table.
"Who is that?Why are you still nodding your head?Do you seem to be quite arrogant?Looking down on our gang of Hanako?not wanting to come over and sit down and drink together?" Qian Yun asked as he stepped on the stool, shaking the chicken legs and licking the oil stains on his hands.
Songbai was about to answer, and a saber was placed on Qian Yun's neck......
