Chapter 480: The Majesty of the Son of Heaven

Get inside the carriage. It was covered with a Persian carpet, sitting on a chair soft and comfortable, Liu Jing was riding in a sedan chair, the groom shouted, and the carriage walked slowly, and the destination was the noon gate.

"Qin Sheng" Chen Fengjiao sighed from her heart, the last thing she wanted to do was finally come, enter the palace, and become the emperor's woman, just for a pack of medicine, which can get rid of the stubborn diseases on her body and make her the most beautiful woman. There is no shortage of beautiful women in the palace, and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di will not spoil her forever, so she will have a chance to obtain the "Cold Moon" knife and fight to the death with the "Glacier Saintess", and the winner will be eligible to leave the court and find the man she likes.

"Yin Hualei, where are you now, don't do stupid things. Chen Fengjiao prayed silently in her heart.

The Forbidden City is divided into four gates, the noon gate, the east gate is called Donghua Gate, the west gate is called Xihua Gate, and the north gate is called Shenwu Gate. The four corners of the Forbidden City have exquisite and exquisite corner towers, the corner towers are 27.5 meters high, cross roofs, triple eaves are stacked on top of each other, bright mountains on all sides, multiple corners are staggered, it is a building with a beautiful structure.

Among China's monuments, there is no place like the Forbidden City that has such a prominent position, like useless old news, but still occupies the front page headlines, and like the imperial era it represents, it is slow to retire.

The Forbidden City is a paradise imagined by the poor, and it is unattainable. In all dynasties, only a few noble people can walk into it and witness its magnificence and sacredness. The vast majority of ordinary people can only squat on the side of the tube river outside the imperial city, passing through the fortress above the treetops, to guess the prosperity inside. But they can only see the sunrise and sunset above the Forbidden City, the white clouds drift by, as light as cotton wool, and the water flowing out of the Forbidden City smells of balsam, and they can never see the slightest trace of blood stored inside.

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di sat on the nine-dragon golden lacquer throne in Fengtian Palace, surrounded by palace maids who did not dare to come out, and the emperor was in a good mood today. With a smile on his face all the time, he didn't leave the fold in his hand as usual, and when he looked at it, he was furious, and threw the fold on the ground, and the eunuch hurriedly came to clean it up, this is the most dangerous, if you don't pay attention to it, you will anger the saint, and your head may move.

The decoration of the temple is gorgeous. Under the eaves, dense buckets are applied, and the indoor and outdoor beams are 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 there is a gilded copper leaf engraved with a dragon pattern at the joint. The hall is paved with gold bricks. This brick needs to be made of the soil deposited at the bottom of Taihu Lake for many years, and it is finely processed through 26 processes. The time to make bricks is as long as two years, and the time to burn the bricks alone is 130 days. After the bricks are made, they should be soaked in tung oil for 100 days, so that the gold bricks have an incomparably hard texture and a neat shape, and there is a saying that "it will not be destroyed for a thousand years". The ground in the Taihe Hall is paved with 4,718 large gold bricks two feet square.

There are four pairs of furnishings on both sides of the throne, the treasure elephant, the Luduan, the crane and the incense pavilion. The treasure symbol symbolizes the stability of the country and the consolidation of political power. Luduan is a legendary auspicious animal. The crane symbolizes longevity. The incense pavilion means that the country is stable. 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. Those who can do it have become gods. The god who is admired by all the peoples, on top of this luxurious and extravagant palace, enjoys absolute authority and gives orders.

But God also has seven passions and six desires. Joy, anger and sorrow, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was waiting for the arrival of that woman, that woman gave him a new feeling, the woman with an excellent figure covered with a veil. It also gives her a mysterious beauty. Now, the woman slowly walked up to the Fengtian Temple, and Zhu Di first saw her black hair tied into a high beauty bun. The gold ornaments on his head shone harshly in the sunlight.

She is still wearing a white fox fur, and her lower body is a large pleated jade skirt inlaid with gold threads, and the jade bells on the corners of the skirt are jingling with the steps, the woman's steps are so brisk, but it sets off the clear sound of the jade bells even more. Let Zhu Di's spirit be lifted. That day in the light market outside the Donghua Gate, the voices were boiling, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di did not hear the voice of the jade bell, today in this quiet lobby, this voice is extraordinarily beautiful, making him obsessed and intoxicated.

"Qin Saint" Chen Fengjiao, the woman who suddenly broke into his field of vision, always covered her face with a veil, but she had advanced martial arts that did not match her age, and it was said that she was as beautiful as a fairy and had a peerless appearance, but few people saw her beautiful face. She is good at playing the lute, dancing beautifully, and her voice is as beautiful as a nightingale in the valley, the emperor looked at her silently, without any expression on her face, but her heart turned over the river and the sea, and no woman had ever made him so excited.

Chen Fengjiao was very quiet, and her silence surprised the palace maids and eunuchs around her. Zhu Di is a cool monarch, tens of thousands of subjects who died under him, and even the important ministers were terrified when they saw him, for fear that the words were wrong and the emperor would die in anger. A woman from the folk is so bold, standing up and not kneeling, just deeply doing a blessing, is it a bit of a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

Liu Jing, the big eunuch standing on the side, also sweated for her.

"Qin Sheng" Chen Fengjiao is not not afraid, her legs are a little weak, she feels the pressure for the first time in the face of a man, this pressure is not from the outside but from the heart. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di sat on the Nine Dragons Golden Lacquer Throne, and in the middle of the ceiling above the throne was placed a caisson shaped like an umbrella cover rising upward. In the middle of the caisson is carved a dragon lying down, the dragon's head is down, the mouth is holding a jewel, the huge eyes are looking at her fiercely, and the eunuchs and palace maids standing on both sides are breathing one by one, quiet, and the air in the tranquility seems to be solidified. The majesty of the Son of Heaven was infinitely magnified in this particular place, as if a huge hand was pressing down on her, leaving her breathless.

But Chen Fengjiao is a woman who has seen the world after all, she quickly calmed down, raised her head and looked at Zhu Di, the emperor is now wearing a dragon robe, majestic, and the middle-aged man in the lamp market outside the Donghua Gate is like two people, the emperor's expression is very strict, a pair of eyes are also watching her, and they don't speak to each other, or Liu Jing reacted quickly, and said to Chen Fengjiao: "Don't hurry up and kneel down the king." ”

Kneeling down means that you should lift the veil, show your true face, and then kneel on the ground and bow your head and shout long live.

Chen Fengjiao shook her head and replied without humility or arrogance: "I am just a folk woman, not a minister of the court, and I am not used to three bows and nine bows. Besides, the poor girl has a stubborn illness on her face, and she is afraid of scaring the emperor, so please forgive her. ”

Liu Jing gasped, thinking to himself Chen Fengjiao, you are too bold, what kind of place is this, you are so presumptuous, where do you put the majesty of the Son of Heaven, once the emperor becomes angry, you have nine lives and you will be gone.

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was not angry, on the contrary, he said very generously: "We just met privately, there is no need to talk about so many rules, 'Qin Sheng' Chen Fengjiao, I have admired the name for a long time, last time in the light market outside Donghua Gate, you and I passed by, in fact, you have already guessed who I am, right?"

"The Holy One knows everything and knows who I am. Chen Fengjiao replied softly.

"Hahaha......" Zhu Di laughed.

Zhu Di smiled, the atmosphere in the lobby suddenly relaxed, and Liu Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor has never treated a woman so leniently, which shows that the emperor really likes her and values her, the emperor likes a person for a reason, Chen Fengjiao is not only a beautiful woman, but also a warrior with superb martial arts. The "Cold Moon" knife is lying in Zhu Di's personal arsenal, no one can control it, it will become an ornament, and this is the most tragic thing for the treasure blade.

Today, "Cold Moon" finally looked forward to its master, this woman with a weak appearance and a strong heart has excellent martial arts, which is what the "Arrow God" Lan Lingxi saw with her own eyes, Japan's sword was defeated under her hands, and four of the seven killers were killed by her in the blink of an eye, and the movements were crisp and neat, you must know that they are the most powerful samurai in Japan, even the martial arts heroes of the Central Plains have to work hard.

The problem is that if you want to control the "Cold Moon", your identity must be worthy of its identity, because it is the sword of the Son of Heaven.

Chen Fengjiao wants to complete the task of defeating the "Glacier Saintess" Ou Hanbing, she must be "Cold Moon", and only "Cold Moon" can fight against "Kunlun Rotary Cold Knife", if you want to control "Cold Moon", you must obtain the dragon qi of the Son of Heaven, become a holy woman, and make yin and yang harmonious. For other women is an unattainable good thing, Houmen is as deep as the sea, and it can't stop women from breaking into it like moths to a fire, the red wall of the deep palace of the Forbidden City hides the most glorious place in the world, the glorious palace, the layers of roofs, reflecting the golden light in the sunset, showing their value everywhere. The lights are bright and green, and the drunken gold is no longer enough to describe its luxury, just eating this item, the palace does not cost more than 200,000 taels of silver a year.

Here is a bill from the imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty: the emperor's portion of vegetable meat is 22 catties per day, and the total of 30 days is 660 catties, of which: 5 catties of soup meat, a total of 150 catties, 1 catty of lard, a total of 30 catties, 2 fat chickens, a total of 60, 3 fat ducks, a total of 90, 3 rookie chickens, a total of 90. The share of the Queen Mother and the concubine is as follows: the Queen Mother: 1,860 pounds of meat, 30 chickens, 30 ducks; Jin Guifei: 285 pounds of meat, 7 chickens, 7 ducks; Yuhuang Guifei: 360 pounds of meat, 15 chickens, 15 ducks; Xunhuang Guifei: 360 pounds of meat, 15 chickens, 15 ducks; if you count the ministers, guards, and so on in the palace, you will need 31,844 pounds of pork, 840 pounds of lard, 4,786 chickens and ducks, plus fish, shrimp and eggs, and spend 14,794 taels of silver a month, which is not counting fruits, drinks, etc.

This is just one of them, eating, it is already dumbfounded, so what about the other expenses, it can't be calculated at all, and it can't be calculated. It's basically a mess. (To be continued......)
