Chapter 294
readx;? The basket was moved to the carriage, which the driver drove in the direction of the palace. The Imperial Palace of the Floating Castle www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion is located in the center of the Floating Castle and is surrounded by a tall floating tower. The floating city is divided into six parts, the largest being the palace of the emperor's early dynasty, on the first floor of the floating tower. This floor is called the Chenji Hall, which is extremely luxurious and is the office of the emperor and officials. Most of the decisions about the Tianyi Dynasty were issued from here, and they quickly stepped up, walked out of the inner city through the six gates, went down to the floating city, and sent them to the second-layer center of Zhongbi Six Star City, and then continued to implement them between the six states.
If the Tianyi Dynasty is described as a person, then the Floating City is the brain, and the Six Star City is the joints that control the limbs. The Floating Inner City is the cerebral marrow in the brain, and the Chenji Hall at the bottom of the Floating Tower is the mind. The layout of the entire Tianyi Dynasty is named after the six stars of the Southern Dipper. Tianfu, Tiantong, Tianliang, Tianji, Tianxiang, Seven Killings, there are these six gates in the inner city, the city gate is opened at four o'clock, and Shen is closed at four o'clock, opening for a total of six hours.
The perimeter of the floating city is a ring of guardrails, and under the guardrails is the raging water of the Sacred Heart Lake. Due to the squeezing effect of the current, it frequently hits the pillars and the wind. The wind was so powerful that droplets of water splashed into the wind and blew under the Floating City, nourishing the land and making the trees planted in the Floating City lush and green. The outer city of the floating city is extremely wide, there are no suburbs here, and on the outskirts of the floating city, there are low houses. This is short compared to the high-rise buildings of the floating tower. The three-storey building, with a simple charm, is adjacent to the avenue on the edge of the floating city, with a wide field of vision, as if living in the clouds.
There is no farmland in the floating city, and as long as there is a need, there are countless merchants and wealthy people who are willing to pay a lot of money to buy houses here. Everyone wants to live above the clouds and experience the life of a fairy. Zhang Liang pierced the black cloth and looked through the gap in the bamboo basket to look at the rapidly receding long street. The two lanes of the long street are planted with huge trees, and on the branches of the trees hang a transparent light mask, which emits a soft light and illuminates the long street. Behind the arbor is a small staircase, and on the stairs are houses.
The houses of the Floating City are not built directly on the surface, but are supported by many pillars and then built on them. Underneath the house is a layer of green vegetation that cannot be seen clearly. It didn't take long for the carriage to turn to the right and enter a wider road. Trees are still planted on both sides of the road, but behind the trees is a man-high fence with vines and many small flowers. These flowers are glowing in a poignant snow-white color.
Every time you walk a section, a section of the fence opens an opening, and there are streets. The carriage walked on Tianfu Street, and the road of the floating city was built in a ring around the floating tower. On the six main thoroughfares, in order to regulate the movement of pedestrians, fences were built, leaving only roads at the forks of the streets. Each fork of the main avenue was guarded by city guards, and the horse-drawn carriages were extremely fast when traveling along the six main thoroughfares. The duty of these guards was to guide the passage and prevent people from crossing the road and causing collisions.
The road was flat, and the carriage traveled very fast, but this Tianfu Avenue connected half of the floating city, and it took three hours to reach the gate of the inner city after almost midnight. The inner city gates were closed, and there were patrolling sergeants at the gates. An endless stream of carriages, after showing the Imperial City Token, was lowered into the floating inner city. Zhang Liang looked through the hole and looked at the brightly lit tower in amazement, like a towering giant pillar, reaching into the sky. This tower is really the tallest building in the world, Penglai Pavilion can't be compared, maybe only Biluo Mountain is so high.
The carriage stopped next to a palace on Tianfu Avenue, the city wall of the inner city palace is very high, with heavy eaves and nine ridges, and the bucket arches are staggered with yellow tiles. Not far from here is the gate of the palace, the high plaque on the palace gate, on the secretary of the diet. This is the kitchen of the inner city, where the imperial cooks, court maids, and servants work and stay. The servants carried the baskets into the courtyard of the palace and went back to sleep yawning. Zhang Liang asked in a low voice, "We're getting involved." ”
Hu Yanzhao said, "Yes, I got in, this should be the chef of Nanhua Palace." Zhang Liang was puzzled, "There are six palaces in the floating inner city, Changque Palace where the princes live, Luanfeng Palace where the princesses live, Qingxuan Palace where the concubines live, Jianzhang Palace where His Majesty the Emperor lives, Nanhua Palace where the management of food, clothing, housing and transportation are managed, and Wantu Palace where the officials of the Floating Tower live. The emperor of the Tianyi Dynasty can't cover the sky with one hand, in the floating tower, the big secretary, the big minister, the big secretary, the big knight, the big boss, the big boss, these six bigwigs control most of the authority. The Floating Emperor is only the last one to cast the seal, he can participate in decision-making, but he must not dictate everything.
It was quiet all around, and the three people were huddled in the bamboo basket, and after a long time, there was no thunderbolt to appear. Hu Yanzhao said in a deep voice, "Something must have happened, otherwise the prince would not have appeared." Xiao Ruoli's stomach rumbled, "No, I'm already hungry, if we wait until dawn, we will definitely be discovered." Hu Yanzhao was very familiar with the Floating City, so he only looked at what he meant, "Hu Yanzhao, let's hide." ”
Hu Yanzhao said in a deep voice, "Fortunately, this is the Si Catering Division, and I happen to have a good friend in the Si Catering Division." Xiao Ruoli said, "Is your friend reliable?" If it is the other two princes, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not betray them. "We were young, and we were good playmates until we were seven years old. Later, after I entered the Changque Palace, I lost contact. Xiao Ruoli felt unreliable, "I haven't been in touch for so many years, maybe it's not the person you know." ”
Who can measure the character when he grows up by his personality when he is young, a person will grow up. Time is passing, times are changing, and of course people are changing. Zhang Liang didn't have Xiao Ruoli's doubts, "Whether it has changed or not, we will know when we see each other." If we wait here again, after dawn, more people will know about us, and the situation will probably be even worse. Hu Yanzhao felt that it made sense, but he still had a problem, "I only know that he became an official in the Catering Division, and he doesn't know exactly which building and which one he lives in?"
Such a large palace, of course, it is impossible to find it one by one, otherwise, I don't know how many people will be alarmed. Xiao Ruoli was about to get up, "It's not a big deal, as long as you are bold and careful, you can get out of his place from other people's mouths." Hu Yanzhao pulled Xiao Ruoli, "No matter how much you and I hide it, it will make people suspicious, and we can't get through it at all." In addition to the officials, the staff under the catering department are all teenagers and girls, and at your age, others will definitely be suspicious. ”
