823rd Crape Myrtle Palace

What Cheng Yanjin said was not wrong.

One hundred and eight squares in Chang'an, one hundred and three squares in Luoyang.

The arrangement of these two is exactly the same, if people who have been in Chang'an for a long time come here, it will be strange if they don't feel familiar!

Knowing this, Xiao Han immediately lost interest in the surrounding scene, and urged Li Shimin to leave quickly, he was still waiting to see the luxurious Luoyang Palace in Cheng Yanjin's mouth.

In this way, the group walked through the lonely Tianmen Street, crossed the Xingjin Bridge, Tianjin Bridge, and Zodiac Bridge, and finally came to the gate of Ziwei Palace, in front of the Tianmen.

Counting up, Ziwei Palace is actually very new.

When Yang Guang built Luoyang, he specially ordered Yang Su to build it, and its intention was to prepare for moving the capital to Luoyang in the future.

It's just that Yang Guang didn't expect that the Ziwei Palace, which had been established with countless efforts, would be occupied by his former head of the guard, Wang Shichong, before he lived for a few years.

The impermanence of the world can be seen.

However, no matter what, the original intention of this Ziwei Palace was to prepare to be the new palace of the Great Sui Dynasty! Therefore, whether it is the scale or the design, it is more majestic and spectacular than the Daxing Palace in Chang'an.

When the group came to Zetianmen, before they could enter the city, the eyes of Xiao Han, Liu Hongji and others were already as wide as copper bells!

What kind of palace gate is this?

Let's not talk about the ten-meter-high palace gate, let's just say that the gatehouse above it is already high, and it can only make people look up.

"I'll go! If it was less than ten floors, Lao Tzu would eat it immediately! “

Muttering a word, Xiao Han tried to take his eyes off the majestic and unspoken building and look away.

However, it's good that he doesn't look at it, and when he looks at it, this mouth can't be closed even more!

On both sides of this city gate tower, there are also towers, battlements and so on.

Not surprisingly, these things are as tall as a 12-story building in later generations.

Between the two que, the distance is almost 100 meters, and there are two eaves built on the que, which is like a phoenix wing, and spreads its wings to fly.

To the north, the two gates are connected to the main body of the gate by a wall large enough for dozens of people to walk side by side.

The whole city gate tower, two battlement buildings, two que towers, the volume is grand, it is integrated, it is solemn, and when people see it, there is a sense of worship.

The tall palace gate opened little by little.

Xiao Han, who was in a daze, entered the long corridor with the people around him.

When he came out of the other side of the road, Xiao Han finally saw a spectacular scene far beyond his imagination!

In front of it, a mountain-like palace is located in the center of the imperial city, with eaves in the air, almost reaching the clouds on the horizon!

"I'm a grandpa! This thing... How was it built? Taking a deep breath, Xiao Han felt like he was living in a dream!

He couldn't imagine how these people could build it so tall in the Sui Dynasty, where there was no modern machinery!

Qin Shubao was very familiar with Luoyang City, and when he saw Xiao Han's shocked appearance, he explained to him in a low voice: "That's the Qianyang Palace, 270 feet high, how about it, it's the first time I've seen such a tall one, right?" ”

"The first time I saw it, it wasn't ...... But to see it here is really beyond imagination......"

270 feet, in fact, is the height of dozens of floors in later generations, which can be seen in any larger city, but in the Sui Dynasty, where there was no reinforced concrete and no tower crane earthmoving vehicles, Xiao Han couldn't figure out how it was built even if he wanted to break his head!

Xiao Han was still looking at the Qianyang Palace in shock, but Li Shimin and the others did not stop and walked towards the imperial city.

From the outside, Ziwei Palace seems to be similar to Daxing Palace in Chang'an, nothing more than a new point, a high point, and a big point!

But when you actually step into it, you can immediately see the difference between the two!

There is no way, when the Ziwei Palace was built, Yang Guang almost poured the world's treasures to fill this place!

At that time, all the strange materials, stones, flowers and plants, as well as rare birds and beasts that could be found in the north and south of the river, were transported to Ziwei Palace by him for his own enjoyment.

And compared with Daxing Palace, which he has never lived in for a day, it is simply a small courtyard that is broken, and he can't even go up to the table!

Walking all the way in the palace, don't say it's Xiao Han, even Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, who claim to be wise, are also speechless.

They are from wealthy families, and what they have seen and heard is naturally not comparable to others.

But as far as what they have seen so far, the most extravagant places they have seen before are not as good as this Ziwei City!

Li Shimin's face was a little unpleasant since he entered the city, especially after seeing that under the eaves, even some rain urns had to be decorated with gold and gemstones, his face was even more pale.

"With such luxury, how can it not be a mistake to the country?" Pushing open a door and looking at the luxurious layout in the house, Li Shimin couldn't help gritting his teeth.

Wang Shichong's face was embarrassed, and he replied resignedly: "This... This is all made by Yang Guang, and since I came, I haven't added anything at all......"

Li Shimin squinted his eyes, slowly closed the door of the room, and then looked at the rare and exotic plants around him, and said as if he had made up his mind: "Extravagance, poor people's desires, no death?" I'd rather not take this place, and I don't want to forget my heart! ”

After Xiao Han, who was still around a lot, heard this, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart for some reason.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Xiao Han hurriedly pulled Xue Shu on the side and asked, "King Qin, what are you doing?" ”

Xue Shu shook his sleeves expressionlessly and said, "Don't do anything, it's just going to ruin here!" ”

"What? Ruined here?! Xiao Han was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Why?" How good are these things? What a pity to ruin! ”

Xue Shu glanced at Xiao Han helplessly, with indescribable disgust in his eyes.

To say that his brother-in-law is outrageously smart when he is smart, but when he is stupid, he can be stupid beyond the sky!

It is indeed a great pity to destroy the Ziwei Palace!

But from Li Shimin's point of view, it is what he must do.

Because, the capital of Datang has been set in Chang'an, and the real palace is Daxing Palace! But there's a bigger, more ornate crape myrtle palace here, what's the matter?

Well, even if you think of this as a palace.

But don't forget, Ziwei Palace is not just an ordinary palace.

To a certain extent, it also carries part of the memories of Yang Guang's Great Sui Dynasty and Wang Shichong Zheng Guo.

Now that Li Shimin destroys it, he is making a complete decision with the previous era! At the same time, he announced to the people of the world that from now on, there will only be Datang in the Central Plains!

All of these things belong to political wisdom.

Xiao Han only knew a little about this, so when Li Shimin really ordered the destruction of Ziwei City, he was still very heartbroken.

Fortunately, before destroying it, Li Shimin still generously asked his subordinates to collect it first.

After all, what he wants to destroy is only the symbol of the past dynasty, and those rare treasures are innocent......
