It is said that the two brothers and sisters of Zhu Zaixia entered this imperial city, but the soldiers and horses were turned away from the city gate, and the little eunuch from this line also shook his head at the two three times. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhu Zaifeng was alert to these changes, so he whispered: "Brother, I think this is a Hongmen banquet, we haven't brought a single soldier, if we are detained, and then we are forced to send troops, the consequences will be unimaginable?"
Zhu Zaixia glanced back at the little eunuch, shook his head with a smile and said: "Don't be afraid! These subordinates have followed me to fight in the south and north for more than ten years, even if they get the talisman, I'm afraid they won't be able to control it, hahaha! Sister, don't think about it, how to say that he is also our cousin, there is no need to be blindly suspicious, be a man but have a clear conscience." ”
This Zhu Zaixia was like no one else, his face was full of spring breeze, and he strode towards the palace, and along the way, of course, there were other royal brothers, so he chatted and continued to move forward.
This Zhu Zaixiong's younger brother, Zhu Zaizhong, the chief soldier of Ganzhou, watched the two brothers and sisters coming, and then greeted them: "Brother Xia Fengmei, you are also here, please, I am also a newly arrived Beijing teacher, so I brought 30,000 soldiers and horses here, one is to congratulate my brother, and the other is to meet these long-lost cousins and sisters, hahaha!
This Zhu Zaixia brother and sister, looking at the soldiers in this imperial city, suddenly increased a lot, and then saw this Zhu Zaizhong, everything understood, it turned out that they were coming to the aid with the soldiers and horses of Ganzhou, although they had ideas in their hearts, they were still silent, and continued to move forward with a smile.
Before arriving at the palace gate, the soldiers of Ganzhou began to search for this group of people, and all those who entered the palace with weapons were relieved, and then they were allowed to enter the palace gate.
"I said this second brother! These are all relatives who came to cheer for Brother Xiong, the soldiers and horses are all outside this imperial city, so they come alone, and they have to unload the sword at their waists, this ...... I'm afraid there's something wrong, right?" Zhu Zaixia said with a smile at this Zhu Zaizhong.
"Brother Xia is too worried, today is the day when Brother Wang ascended the throne, after today, that is our saint, he doesn't want to have a bloody disaster today, so he sent an order, but anyone who enters this palace, except for the guards with knives, no one else is allowed to bring weapons inside! This Zhu Zai patted the shoulder of the brother and sister and explained to everyone.
Zhu Zaixia then smiled all over his face, and echoed: "That's right! Hahaha! On this day of accession to the throne, you should be so exquisite, they are all their own brothers, and they should all support and support, haha!"
The two brothers and sisters of the Zhu family, now that the weapon has been unloaded, and the armor of his subordinates has also returned to the camp, if this Zhu Zaixiong sets up a Hongmen banquet again, the consequences will be unimaginable?
"Everything is at peace with what happens! Sister Feng doesn't have to be like this! If he has bad intentions, even if we bring troops into the city, it will only be a burning of jade and stones, and both sides will be defeated! If you come, you will be safe!" Zhu Zaixia saw her sister's thoughts, so she patted her on the shoulder and smiled and walked towards the palace gate.
In the gate of this palace, there were already eunuchs here to answer, looking at the princes from all walks of life, they bent down one by one to salute, only to see the wave of the dust, to the eunuchs under his hands to give a look, so he led the way in front of him, and went to this deep palace.
Outside the three major halls of the palace, there are many Jinling guards, today the prince ascended the throne as the emperor, these subordinates are also regarded as the heroes of this new country, one by one energetic, looking ahead, like terracotta warriors.
The Taihe Hall is the largest and highest-level building in the Forbidden City. It is 11 rooms wide, 5 rooms deep, 64 meters long, 37 meters wide, with a construction area of more than 2,000 square meters, about 27 meters high, and more than 35 meters high together with the pedestal, which is the largest and the highest grade and the largest building in the Forbidden City. There is a wide platform in front of the hall, called Danma, commonly known as the platform. On the platform, there is a sundial and a Jialiang, a pair of copper turtles and cranes, and eighteen copper tripods. Turtles and cranes are symbols of longevity. The sundial was an ancient timekeeper, and the Jialiang was an ancient standard measuring instrument, both of which were symbols of imperial power. His Royal Highness is a three-story white marble carved pedestal more than eight meters high, surrounded by a railing. Under the railing, there is a stone carved faucet for drainage, and in the rainy season, it can present the wonder of a thousand dragons spitting water.
Taihe hall is the highest heavy eaves of the building form on the top of the palace, the two ends of the roof ridge are installed with a high three meters four, weighing about more than 4,000 kilograms of kiss, on the fork ridge of the ancient Chinese building, are decorated with town tiles, these town tile beasts are arranged with strict regulations, according to the level of the building and the number of differences, the most is the decoration on the palace Taihe Hall (a total of ten), which is unique in the history of Chinese palace architecture. shows the supreme importance. The first ornament is a man riding a phoenix immortal, according to legend, he was originally the king of Qi Ming in the Southern Dynasty, and later cultivated and ascended to immortal. The immortals were followed by ten small beasts: dragons, phoenixes, lions, pegasi, seahorses, spicy,, pigs, bullfights, and xingshi. In other ancient buildings, a maximum of nine beasts are generally used. There are strict hierarchical boundaries here, and only the Jinluan Treasure Hall (Taihe Palace) can complete the ten things. The Middle Hall is seven, and the Bohol Hall is nine. The Zhentile Beasts on the other temples decreased in order.
"Princes and princes, our family is ordered by the new emperor to come to greet everyone, please first move to the Taihe Hall to wait, after congratulating the new emperor, and then move to the Baohe Hall to go to the banquet, everyone, please!" The deacon and eunuch at the gate walked down the stone steps quickly, bent down to salute the princes, and led everyone up the stairs.
I saw this majestic Taihe Palace, slowly presented in front of everyone, after some cleaning and repair, the whole hall looked more solemn.
Lin Zong, the chief eunuch at the door, greeted him, bent down and said: "Our family has been waiting here for a long time, all the princes and county lords, please inside, Lin is not talented, today will be all accepted by our family for the time being, please inside, please inside!"
In this Taihe Palace, all the princes have already gathered, as well as those Beijing officials who surrendered, Zhu Zaifeng went to this hall, inspected it for a week, and said to Zhu Zaixia: "Brother Wang, this place is really beautiful, majestic and solemn, compared to our palace, it is really a small thing!"
I saw that under the eaves there was a dense bucket, and the indoor and outdoor beams were decorated with the highest level of Hexi paintings. The upper part of the door and window is inlaid with a rhombic pattern, the lower part is embossed with a cloud dragon pattern, and the joints are equipped with gilded copper leaves engraved with dragon patterns.
The ground in the Taihe Hall is paved with 4,718 large gold bricks two feet square. But the gold bricks are not made of gold, but specially made bricks in Suzhou. Its surface is light black, oily, bright, not astringent or slippery. The soil quality in Suzhou is good, the firing is fine, after firing to reach the level of "knocking sound, breaking without holes", it can be used, the procedure of smelting this brick is extremely complicated, a brick has to be refined for at least one year. There are a total of 72 pillars in the Taihe Hall to support all its weight, of which the top beam pillar is the thickest and the highest, with a diameter of 1.06 meters and a height of 12.70 meters.
The bright room of the Taihe Hall is set up with the Nine Dragons Gold Lacquer Throne, and the two sides of the throne are arranged with six giant pillars with a diameter of one meter and pasted with the pattern of gold cloud dragons, and the gold leaf pasted is made of two colors, so that the pattern is prominent and distinct. There are four pairs of furnishings on both sides of the throne: the treasure elephant, the luduan (the end of the phonetic record), the crane and the incense pavilion. The treasure elephant symbolizes the stability of the country and the consolidation of political power, Luduan is a legendary auspicious animal, the crane symbolizes longevity, and the incense pavilion symbolizes the stability of the country. In the middle of the ceiling above the throne is a caisson shaped like an umbrella canopy rising upward. In the middle of the caisson is carved a dragon lying down, with a dragon head poking down and a jewel in its mouth.
Just as everyone was watching, there was a gentle cough from behind, and everyone turned their heads to look at it with a shocked expression......
