Chapter VII Daming Palace

After passing through the corridor, Ye Saburo caught a glimpse of the eunuch in the hall who was calmly sipping tea. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he has always disliked this group of people, after all, they are the people around the emperor, and he has to get along with them, especially now that the emperor wants to summon him.

He took two steps forward, bent down and arched his hand, and said, "The villain Wannian County catches Ye Sanlang quickly, and participates in the fish father-in-law." ”

This Yu Chaoen saw that he was also polite, so he got up and helped him: "San Lang doesn't have to be polite, right now you are a big celebrity that the emperor cares about, how can you be as knowledgeable as our family." As he was talking, an embarrassing voice sounded out of nowhere, Ye Sanlang scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I have been in a coma for a few days, and I haven't eaten a decent meal yet, so I want my father-in-law Haihan." ”

Yu Chaoen smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, the emperor didn't expect you to wake up so early, and now it is estimated that you are discussing matters in Xingqing Palace and the Political Affairs Hall." Besides, if you don't have enough to eat, how can you have the strength to meet the emperor in person? According to our family, it is better for you to eat first and then talk about it. ”

Ye Saburo nodded.

"I don't know if the fish husband has had a meal when he came from the palace?"

"Hehe, when we came out, there was no dinner in the palace, so I wonder if you still have extra dishes and chopsticks?"

"Father-in-law Yu is really joking. Ye Sanlang smiled and said to a maid beside him: "Ying Hong, go and prepare a pair of dishes and chopsticks, I want the best set, don't I remember how many sets of ivory bowls are there at home?"

"Yes, the third son, please wait a moment, I'll look for it. With that, the maid went out.

Ye Saburo also stretched out his hand and made an invitation: "Then invite Father-in-law Yu to dine here, don't be too inconsiderate." ”

Yu Chaoen didn't see him either, in fact, he was already hungry, so he took the first step according to his wishes.

"Where to speak, where to speak, our family still hopes that San Lang will say a few more kind words for me in front of the emperor. ”

"Definitely, definitely. ”

Talking and talking, the two came to the dining room, the family originally planned to eat with Ye Sanlang, but who knew that Yu Chaoen was also going to eat here, the housekeeper Lao Zhang and the head of the house Ye Tianzheng simply took the meal and went to eat in another room. No one in Chang'an City knows that this Yu Chaoen is the successor of Gao Lishi's training, although he is not favored by Li Longji, but if Gao Lishi drives the crane to the west one day, it is he Yu Chaoen who has the final say, and now he must not offend him.

It just so happened that the cook at home thought that Ye Sanlang hadn't eaten for a few days, so he had already prepared a sumptuous meal, although it was not as good as the imperial food in the palace, but this chef was also the top skilled in Chang'an City. When Yu Chaoen was in the palace, although the emperor usually ate all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, he usually ate the emperor's leftovers when he got his share. That being said, it's basically just a few bites of each dish that doesn't move, but after all, who will feel comfortable. He had a good meal at the Ye family's meal, and he was in a really good mood.

After the two of them had eaten, they didn't delay any longer, and went straight to the carriage parked in Yefu and headed towards Yanxi Gate in the north.

The two people in the car were not idle, you said polite words to me, and soon arrived at the Yanxi Gate in the east of the Taiji Palace, this gate is usually only used by the ministers of the court and the central government when they have urgent matters to enter and exit the Zhongshu Province and the Gate Province, and the general officials can only enter the imperial city from the Suzaku Gate in the south, but the situation of these two people today is really special.

Seeing a carriage coming towards him, the captain on duty at Yanximen nodded at the carriage, and immediately two acquaintances of the Tang Army stepped forward to stop him.

"What kind of person? ”

It makes sense for them to do this, on weekdays, this gate is only accessible to the ministers of the DPRK and China, and these guys have been on duty here for many years, and they have long been mixed with veteran oil, whose carriage can be seen at a glance, but the carriage in front of them, although it seems to be the standard of the palace, but there is no lantern to show their identity, and they are not high-ranking officials.

At this time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted: "What's the matter?

The two soldiers were suddenly startled, and the captain was also shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Subordinates should be damned, I don't know it's the fishman's carriage, the two brothers also do things according to the rules, and they also look forward to the fishman Haihan, Haihan." ”

Ye Saburo in the car only felt funny when he heard this title. He didn't know that although this fish Chaoen was not favored by Li Longji in the court, when Gao Lishi was away, Li Longji was taken care of by him, and he was also quite powerful. However, he has a good face, and he doesn't like others to call him Father Yu, but he has not yet had a job, and others don't know how to call him, because everyone calls Gao Lishi Gao Weng, so everyone calls him Yu Weng when Gao Lishi is not there, although it is indecent, but it makes him very useful. However, Ye Sanlang, these people outside the palace didn't know, so he didn't care about calling him Father-in-law Yu before.

"In that case, why don't you let it go quickly?"

However, the captain had also been in the army for several years, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He didn't let his subordinates let him go, but asked, "I don't know who is sitting in the fisherman's car?"

It turned out that because of this, Yu Chaoen also understood the suffering of the palace gate guards, so he nodded and said: "It is the topic of conversation in Chang'an these days, Wannian County catches Ye Saburo." ”

"It turned out to be him!" Several palace gate guards were taken aback, as the so-called hero cherishes the hero, as a soldier, he will naturally have a good impression of the hero, plus the streets and alleys have blown this Ye Saburo to the gods, and several of them also want to see the legendary Chang'an No. 1 sword.

"It's down there. The other corner of the curtain was lifted, revealing the face of a young man. "I have just recovered from a serious illness and cannot do strenuous activities yet, so I ask for forgiveness from all the military masters. ”

Seeing that this Ye Saburo looked ordinary, and was not as handsome and chic as the rumors, several people also felt that the rumors could not be fully believed.

"Where, the story of Brother Ye sacrificing his life to fight the demons has already spread all over Chang'an, and the brothers all want to see your real demeanor, but it's a pity that you are now seriously injured and are just recovering from your injuries, otherwise even I would like to try it with you." I heard that the emperor of the previous dynasty has asked about your safety in the past few days, looking at your direction, is it possible that you want to enter the palace?" "This captain is not stupid, since it was Yu Chaoen who quietly took him through this Yanxi Gate in a carriage, could it be that the emperor wanted to summon him quietly? This is very likely, he has been here for many years, and he knows that the emperor has always admired these heroes and heroes. If he delays them here any longer, and waits for the emperor to ask, then his life is not in danger? Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"The eyesight is good, our family is just going to take Ye Saburo into the palace, and the emperor is afraid that he can't wait for a long time. Yu Chaoen's face showed a triumphant look.

"The subordinates are dull and delay the big thing of the fisherman. He took two steps forward and quietly stuffed something into Yu Chaoen's arms. "When my father-in-law enters the palace, I hope to say a few good words, don't mention that I stopped you, my subordinates thank you here." ”

Ye Saburo also understood that this was a daily contact, so he turned his head away, as if he hadn't seen anything.

After weighing the weight of the guy in his hand, Yu Chaoen was more satisfied, so he replied: "Captain Tang, please rest assured, our family will definitely say a few good words for you." Seeing that several guards put away their halberds, he nodded to the coachman: "Enter the palace!"

Looking at the Daming Palace that was gradually enlarging in front of him, Ye Sanlang suddenly felt excited.

Daming Palace is located on the Longshou Plain on the northeast side of the palace city of Chang'an City in Tang Dynasty, and uses the natural terrain to build the palace to form a relatively independent castle. The southern part of Miyagi is rectangular in shape, and the northern part is in the shape of a trapezoidal shape that is wide in the south and narrow in the north. The city wall is 1.5 kilometers wide from east to west, 2.5 kilometers long from north to south, 7.6 kilometers in circumference, and covers an area of about 3.2 square kilometers. The southern section of the city wall coincides with the eastern section of the north wall of Chang'an City, and there are three parallel east-west palace walls to the north, dividing the palace into three areas. All walls are built with rammed earth slabs, the bottom width is about 10.5 meters, the corners of the city, the city gate are covered with bricks and widened outward, and the city towers, corner towers and so on are built.

There are a total of nine gates in the palace city, the south is the Danfeng Gate, the east and west are the Wangxian Gate and the Jianfu Gate, the north is the Xuanwu Gate, the east and west are the Yinhan Gate and the Qingxiao Gate, the east is the left Yintai Gate, and the west and the north and south are the right Yintai Gate and the Nine Immortal Gate respectively. Except for the main gate Danfeng Gate, which has five doorways, the rest of the doors are three doorways. On the east and west sides of Miyagi, there are three sides of the city parallel to the city wall, and there is a heavy gate in the middle of the north face, facing the Xuanwu Gate. Outside the palace, the east and west sides were stationed in the forbidden army, and the command organ of the forbidden army was set up in the north gate and the city.

The whole palace can be divided into two parts: the former court and the inner court, the former court is mainly for court meetings, and the inner court is mainly for residence and banquets. To the south of the main gate of Daming Palace, Danfeng Gate, there is a width of 176 meters of Danfeng Gate Street, north is the north-south central axis composed of Hanyuan Palace, Xuanzheng Palace, Zichen Palace, Penglai Palace, Hanliang Palace, Xuanwu Palace, etc., and other buildings in the palace are also mostly distributed along this axis. On the east and west sides of the axis, there is also a longitudinal street, which is formed by opening side doors on three horizontal palace walls.

And at this moment, what they are going to is the emperor's imperial study that belongs to the inner court, located in the Ganlu Palace, from the little eunuchs who came in and out of the palace, they have already heard that the people in the political hall have gone home, and the emperor is correcting the folds in the imperial study at the moment.

After passing through countless roads and bypassing countless corridors, Ye Qingcheng finally saw the imperial study not far away, and Yu Chaoen stopped at this time.

"San Lang, Gao Weng wants to come in front of the imperial study, I won't go, and if you meet the emperor later, when he asks, you have to answer carefully. ”

"This is natural, please rest assured that Father-in-law Yu is thanks to Father-in-law Yu today. With that, he stuffed the silver he had prepared into Yu Chaoen's hand.

Looking at his distant back, Yu Chaoen nodded appreciatively, this guy is a talent, and sooner or later he will definitely get ahead.

There are obviously fewer guards near the imperial study, and it is said that most of the emperor's side are guards with knives, and they usually hide in corners that you can't see, and if there is really danger, they can appear as soon as possible.

When he came to the door, Ye Sanlang met a gray-haired eunuch, presumably this is Gao Lishi, the inner chamberlain who is now in power.

Gao Lishi saw a young man who he had never seen appear in front of the imperial study, and saw that he was dressed ordinarily, not like a relative of the emperor or a wealthy family, and suddenly felt puzzled. However, thinking of the emperor sending Yu Chaoen to the Ye family in the morning to convey the message, Yu Chaoen has not returned yet, is it ......

"Stop. He stepped forward. "Are you the fast Ye Saburo of Wannian County?"

He half-knelt on the ground and saluted: "The villain is Ye Sanlang, who is here to participate in Gao Weng." ”

Seeing that he was polite, Gao Lishi also had a good impression of him in his heart, and hurriedly helped him up.

"You are a tormenting old man, hurry up, the emperor has long wanted to see you, and now you are in the imperial study. ”

"In this case, I will ask Gao Weng to introduce me. Ye Saburo arched his hand and said.
