Peerless Pirates

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, the dormitories of central agencies were also built within the first palace wall (Latest Chapter from Financial Crisis to World War). After the Southern Dynasties, no ministers would ever have their homes within the first palace wall. Otherwise,

It's so inconvenient to do things.

The central government offices are arranged in the second layer of the palace wall. The court hall and minister's office are on the east side, and there is a door to the south leading out of the palace. On the west side, there are the Taiwei's official office and the Secret Pavilion (Royal Library), etc., where the princes live.

It should be here too, but in the northwest

, called Yongfu Palace. However, the Daqi royal family Ding Zuo is weak, so it has to be left empty now. Within the second palace wall, which is the northeast of the imperial city, there is the Queen Mother Palace. But Pang Ying was not of age, so the Queen Mother Palace is

Idle. Huang Jiao lives in the inner palace all year round.

In addition, Hualin Garden (inner garden, often referred to as the Imperial Garden) is also within the second palace wall, but is more independent.

On the north side of the imperial city, it is connected to the Queen Mother Palace in the east, Yongfu Palace in the west, and the Inner Palace in the south.

The real palace inside the third layer of walls is the inner city. The inner city is divided into two parts, the front and rear. The front is the court area, with the main hall, Tai Chi Hall, and the East Hall and West Hall parallel to it. The emperor went to court, both in Tai Chi.

Hall. Taiji Hall is the tallest building in the entire imperial city. It is tall and majestic, facing south and facing north.

Behind the inner city is the emperor's sleeping quarters. The real inner palace is here, where the emperor and his concubines live.

In the inner palace, there are two palaces built on the north-south central axis. The front one is the Qian Hall (for the emperor to rest), also known as the Zhongzhai. The back one is the Xianyang Hall (for the queen to live). There are two palaces in the inner palace.

The main hall and the Taiji Hall in front form a parallel layout of three halls.

Shiqian Hall and Xianyang Hall are each a group of palace courtyards, with wing halls built on their east and west sides. As mentioned earlier, the side halls on both sides of Taiji Hall are called the East Hall and the West Hall, while the two side halls of Shiqian Hall are called the East Hall and the West Hall.

The two sides of Xianyang Hall are called Huiyin Hall and Hanzhang Hall. Huang Jiao was originally ranked as the West Hall.

Palace, has always lived in the Hanzhang Palace on the east side of the Xianyang Palace. Even after she became the Queen Mother, she did not change places. Before the young emperor Pang Ying came to the throne, she had been living in the Hanzhang Palace with Huang Jiao. Later, he grew older.

, when he was ten years old, he came out of Hanzhang Hall and moved to Xizhai.

In addition to the palaces on the central axis, dozens of small gardens and houses were built in a row on the east and west sides of the inner palace, most of which were for concubines to live in. Only some at the back were for servants (mostly maids, some eunuchs)

) lived with the eunuch on duty.

The expenses of the inner palace are provided by the House of Internal Affairs within the first palace wall. Most of the eunuchs also live in the House of Internal Affairs. They will only enter the inner palace when they are on duty. Of course, confidant eunuchs like Qian Mancai

, generally living in the inner palace all year round.

The scope of the Forbidden Army's duty was limited to the front area of ​​the outer city and the inner city. The emperor's sleeping area was strictly prohibited from entering, which was different from the palace in Zhongdu. There were 8,000 people in the Forbidden Army, and it was impossible for all of them to be used to defend the palace.

City. In fact, there are only 2,000 Imperial Guards on duty in the palace every day. The remaining 6,000 are in the Imperial Guard camp outside Jinling City (read the full text by Cook). Every day at midnight, 2,000 Imperial Guards enter the city.

Exchange classes with the Custodes on duty previously.

Most of the two thousand Imperial Guards on duty are inside the first level of the palace wall, while a small number enter the second level of the Palace Wall and are on duty at various central government offices. In addition, there are one hundred Imperial Guards on duty outside the Tai Chi Hall, that is, in the court area.

If the emperor dealt with officials, it was usually the one hundred imperial guards on duty who took action.

The entire Daqi Palace City is laid out layer by layer, the buildings are neat and orderly, and there is an effective operating mechanism to ensure the absolute safety of the Palace City.

There are four turrets in the four corners of the outer city of the palace city, which are used for observation and overlooking, and serve as early warning. There are seven gates around the outer city. The three gates in the south are Dongzhimen, Xizhimen, and Dasimun in the middle.

On the east and west sides of the outer city are Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate respectively. On the north side, near the two turrets, are Pingchang Gate and Guangchang Gate. Both the turrets and the city gates are guarded day and night by forbidden troops.

Song Zheng was dressed in a forbidden army uniform and came to the main gate on the south side of the palace - outside the Dasi Gate. The Dasi Gate and the Taiji Hall and other three halls are on a central axis. It is the main entrance of the entire palace and is also the most luxurious among all the gates.

.however, big

The Simon Gate is also the least activated. It will only be fully opened when the emperor leaves the city. When officials enter and exit the palace, civil servants go through the Dongzhi Gate, and military attachés go through the Xizhi Gate. If you go to court, you will enter through these two gates before going to the palace.

Tai Chi Hall.

Normally, the gate is closed tightly. There are more than a hundred forbidden troops guarding both inside and outside the door. Only when there is a change of classes, the gate will open a gap that only allows people to pass through, allowing the forbidden troops to enter and exit.

Seeing Song Zheng's arrival, the Imperial Guards on duty outside the door showed vigilance. Song Zheng smiled and saw a particularly stout sergeant on the east side, dressed in the uniform of a hundred households. He took two steps forward, raised his hands and asked, "

This eldest brother, I am Song Zheng, has come to the Imperial City Division to report, and I would like to trouble you to give you some directions on where to go."

"Song Zheng?" Baihu hesitated, "But Song Zheng, the leader of Qianhu, the military champion?"

"Exactly, I wonder what I call you big brother?"

"My surname is Guan, Guan Hu, he is the leader of the Lizi Team of the Forbidden Army (the latest chapter of Ming Yue)." He looked Song Zheng up and down again, and asked softly, "Does General Song have any military talisman with him?"

Song Zheng nodded and took out a small sword-shaped golden talisman from his arms. This golden talisman was personally given by the imperial edict two days ago and sent to the Song Mansion. Song Zheng naturally took it with him.

Guan Hu verified the golden talisman, took it, and took a closer look. He saw three seal characters written on the front of the golden talisman: Imperial City Division, and the word "shock" on the back. There were 8,000 people in the Imperial Army, divided into eight

The team is named after the eight trigrams Qian, Kun, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Xun, Li, and Dui. Each of the eight Qianhu commanders has a gold talisman in his hand. The one in Song Zheng's hand is the character Zhen, which means that Song Zheng is Zhen.

The leader of the writing team.

The golden talisman was correct, and Guan Hu immediately lowered his head and handed over his hand, "Guan Hu, leader of the Lizi team, comes to see General Song." The other sergeants clasped their fists towards Song Zheng, "See General Song."

"Brother Guan is exempt from the courtesy, and all brothers are exempt from the courtesy. Song is here for the first time and he doesn't know the rules. I hope that Brother Guan can give me some advice on how to report to the Weiwei."

Guan Hu asked doubtfully, "General Song, don't you have any brothers from the Zhenzi Team to pick you up?"

Song Zheng shook his head, "I came here by myself and didn't meet the brothers from the Imperial City Division. Why, is there something wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Guan Hu hesitated for a moment and then said, "General Song can go in. After entering the door, turn west and you will find the Imperial City Si Yamen. Mr. Huyan is on duty today, you can see him."

The Lord Huyan mentioned by Guan Hu is the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, Hu Yande, who is in charge of the four branches of the Forbidden Army: Qian, Zhen, Gen, and Li. The other deputy commander, Tong Bing, is in charge of the other four teams of the Forbidden Army.

After Song Zheng expressed his gratitude, Guan Hu led Song Zheng to the door of Dasimen and knocked the door knocker three times. A small door opening half a foot square was opened on the left side of the door, and a deep voice asked, "Guan Baihu,

What's up?"

"General Song, the new commander of the Zhenzi Team, came to the Imperial City Division, Sun Baihu, please open the city gate (read the full text of the Royal Language Institute)."

"General Song? I've never heard of it. Is it true or false?"

Guan Hu glanced at Song Zheng, turned around and said, "I have experienced General Song's golden talisman."

"I'm afraid it won't work to close Baihu. The Xunzi team and the Genzi team are on duty today. If the Zhenzi team is not on duty, it will be two days later. According to the rules, people from the Zhenzi team cannot come in at this time." The voice inside was serious.

Guan Hu couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily, "Sun Baldzi, aren't you looking for trouble? General Song reported the first day that he wanted to see Mr. Huyan, don't you know?"

"I know the Zhenzi team has changed its leader, but no one told me about today's report. I'm sorry, I can't let people in."

Guan Hu wanted to speak, but Song Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said loudly, "The person inside is Brother Sun, and I am Song Zheng."

Sun Tuzi inside was silent for a while, and then said, "This is General Song. I am responsible for my duties, so I cannot let the general in. I hope the general will forgive me. The general might as well go to Xizhimen, and from there to the Imperial City Si Yamen.

Closer."

Song Zheng chuckled and said, "Brother Sun, do you think the brothers over at Xizhimen are more talkative? Or are they not as loyal to their duties as Brother Sun?"

"Hey, General Song, I didn't say that. I just..."

"Sun Baihu!" Song Zheng said sternly, "Song won the imperial examination three days ago. The Holy Master personally granted Song an official position and awarded him the golden talisman of the Imperial City's Division of Zhenzi Team! The Holy Master personally told Song to rest for three days.

My God, I went to the Imperial City Si Yamen to take office today. This is a sacred order! Will Sun Baihu not even obey the sacred order?"

"I don't dare!"

"Then why don't you open the city gate quickly!"

The person inside hesitated for a moment, "I want to test the golden talisman (read the full text of Transformed Female Knight)."

Bald Sun was clearly making things difficult. Song Zheng snorted coldly and threw the golden talisman in his hand. The golden talisman was like a small dagger, shot through the doorway with a radius of only half a foot. There was only a scream from inside, followed by chaos.

There were footsteps and some whispers, but the city gate didn't open for a long time.

Song Zheng was not in a hurry. The golden talisman was personally given by the imperial decree. No matter how courageous Sun Baihu was, he would not dare to embezzle.

Guan Hu took a breath of air. Sure enough, General Song had two brushes. Judging from the angle and speed of the golden talisman flying in, Sun Tuzi must have suffered a hidden loss. He looked Song Zheng up and down, and saw that Song Zheng fell

With his hands behind his back, there was a slight smile on his extraordinarily young face, looking confident.

Guan Hu thought silently: Another ruthless person!

After a while, the city gate opened a two-foot-wide gap. Song Zheng turned his head and gave Guan Hu a fist, "Thank you so much, Brother Guan. I'll treat you to dinner another day!"

Guan Hu didn't even dare, Song Zheng laughed, turned around and walked towards the door.

After entering the gate, he saw more than twenty Imperial Guards gathered in the doorway. There was one person in the middle, covering the bridge of his nose with one hand and holding a gold talisman in the other, looking at Song Zheng bitterly. Song Zheng slightly cupped his hands and said, "Brother Sun, for a moment

I missed, I'm sorry. Is the injury serious? Do you need to see a doctor?"

"No need!" Sun Baldzi replied coldly and took away Shouliang's hand. Song Zheng took a closer look and saw a bruise and swelling between the opponent's eyebrows. There was a half-inch sword mark.

The skin has been scratched. This is because the tip of the golden talisman is rounded and not sharp, and Song Zheng kept his hand, so this effect was caused.

"Oh, Brother Sun, why is it so swollen? Sin! Sin!" Song Zheng stepped forward quickly, with a look of regret on his face. Sun Bald was stunned when Song Zheng came up and poked with his fingertips.

It hit Sun Bald Zi's wrist. Sun Bald Zi only felt his hand go numb, and the golden talisman returned to Song Zheng's hand.?
