Chapter 3012 - Canonization (I)

Although the overall shape of the new city is very traditional Chinese style. However, compared with the traditional cities of Earth China, there are also many changes in the details. The first is the top view, which is no longer a traditional square, but a geared type. The original horse noodles are gone, replaced by hundreds of large and small, dog-toothed claypots that make up the teeth of this "giant gear". There are only eight city gates, and there is no water chestnut, but there is an urn city with a complex structure.

The second is the city tower, the traditional Chinese city tower is actually the real "building", square, and normal buildings are no different. But this is not the case with the castle towers, which are all round, and have increased in height to resemble turrets. In addition, the increase in the height and number of watchtowers makes it a "Tallinn" compared to the traditional city walls. These watchtowers aren't just for lookouts, they're equipped with a large number of ranged weapons, and they're also a base for spellcasters.

And then. It's the layout of the city.

Like most of the first structures in Chinese history, the new city is also divided into four parts: the outer city, the inner city, the imperial city, and the palace city. From the sky, it is a concentric circle of four rings, which is a typical "axis ring city".

The outer city was the largest, and its main inhabitants were ordinary citizens, craftsmen, merchants, and professionals, as well as various professionals such as doctors and coachmen, as well as low-ranking nobles such as "scholars".

But it is also the most prosperous and lively place in Xinluo, and even those nobles who live in the inner city often run out to play. Because there are the largest commercial districts in the whole empire, the "East Market" and the "West Market". These two markets are located on the east and west sides of the city, near the city gates.

Only the goods that are circulating on the mainland can be bought here. Including all parts of the empire, vassal countries, elven empires, northern barbarian countries, sea countries, etc., and even goods from other continents. It can be described as a dazzling array of everything.

In the past few days waiting for the canonization ceremony, Su Ze has been in the library most of the time, so he has no impression of this. However, the two girls, Rusya and Tang Mengmeng, run to these two business districts every day. In order to save trouble, Su Ze gave Rusiya another "trading film", and stored 3,000 golden five plants in it for them to shop. So they are shopping frantically these days, and they come back with a red face every day when they go shopping, and they buy a lot of big bags and small bags.

Then there is the "hotel and restaurant area" in the south of the city, where most of the middle and low-end hotels and restaurants in Xinluo are concentrated, with various styles and flavors, covering almost all civilized races in this world.

To the north of the city, there is a religious district. The Chinese gods are the temples of all the gods. You can find it all here. Compared to the hustle and bustle of other areas, it is very quiet, except for religious activities, except for the sound of bells, chimes, and prayers that ring from time to time.

In the dynasties of China on Earth, it was impossible to have such a specially set up religious district in the capital city. Setting up a religious area of this magnitude in the capital is only possible in a world where there is a true god. Of course, it is precisely because of the existence of the true God that these religious regions are not as useless as the earth. Leaving aside the various auxiliary roles in peacetime, military affairs alone have an irreplaceable role. In the event of an enemy invasion, the force provided by each temple is not to be underestimated.

Su Ze also found that in this new city, both in the outer city and the inner city, there are a large number of tower buildings, which are like attics for weight loss and heightening. In various residential areas and commercial areas, there are already traffic arteries. There are such towers, which are more than 100 meters high and 40 or 50 meters short. Later, he learned that these were magic towers, most of which were official in the empire, and of course some were private. These magic towers can be used as watchtowers to monitor the situation in the city in peacetime, and they are fortresses in wartime.

Then there is the street and architectural pattern of the outer and inner cities, which are clearly carefully designed. Although they may seem bustling and atmospheric in normal times, once they enter the wartime situation, these streets and buildings will be transformed into barricades with only a little modification. Combined with those almost ubiquitous magic towers, it's enough to bring tears to the eyes of any invader.

In addition to these tangible defenses, Xinluo also has an extremely perverted giant magic array, the "Kyushu Enchantment" Puzzle Lock. Su Xue learned from the book that in this world, the capitals of various great powers and major powers, or important cities and strongholds, will set up this kind of giant magic array called "Lost Lock".

Depending on the builder, the functions and emphases of these locks vary, but they all have some extremely perverted functions. For example, Xinru's "Kyushu Enchantment" has more than a dozen functions that are only public. For example, "Space Anchor", "Spiritual Spell Invalidation", "Isolation of Spells above Three Poles", "Repatriation of Otherworldly Creatures", "Restoration Bonus of Allies", "Destroy Undead Creatures" and other perverted functions.

The Imperial City and the Miyagi City are usually shrouded in the "Zichen Xiaguang", and they can't see the situation inside, and ordinary people can't get in. Therefore, there is no way to know the defense arrangement inside, but according to common sense, the defense of this core area cannot be lower than the outside.

Therefore, the defense of this new robe is very outrageous, as long as there are no problems inside, it is almost impossible to break through from the outside.

..................................................................

A World (Earth) Time: September 10, 2010 A.D. B Universal Time: March 5, 3210 in the continental calendar.

The Han Empire, Xinluo. Zichen Palace.

Now, Su Ze has finally come to the imperial city.

The outer city of Shinju was a functional area for commoners and low-ranking nobles, as well as commercial districts. The inner city is mainly the official residence, as well as the residences of middle and high-ranking nobles such as princes and princes, as well as some government offices with many people coming and going.

The imperial city is different, this is the center of the entire empire, in addition to the emperor's office, the palace of the previous dynasty, there are also the headquarters of the cabinet, nine temples and six departments, five prefectures and five provinces, eight divisions and thirteen supervisors, and so on. Every day, countless messages are collected from all over the world, and countless instructions are sent from here to various places.

The Zichen Hall is the grandest and most ornate building among them, and it is the place where the emperor went to court.

According to the regulations of the Han Dynasty, the first day of the first day of the month is the Great Dynasty Meeting, and all officials above 300 stone (seven grades) in the city, only if they are not on duty or have urgent tasks, they must come here to participate. Of course, this kind of grand court meeting, that is, the form of walking, is basically equivalent to the earth's monthly summary meeting and plan meeting, as well as announcing some personnel appointments and dismissals.

What the emperor really did was the "regular dynasty" that took place every ten days on the fifth, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth days of the first lunar month. Of course, this so-called "big event" is something that requires the emperor to come forward in person. For ordinary trivial matters, there is no need to wait for the "Chang Dynasty", and each department can handle it by itself, and only need to send a copy of the processing results to the secretary of the province. Just show it to His Majesty the Emperor. If it is a particularly urgent matter, there is no need to wait for the "Chang Dynasty", and you can directly inform the secretary of the province.

Due to the perfect government institutions, the emperor of the Han Empire was still relatively leisurely, and if he was diligent in government, of course he could take care of things by himself. If he's going to be lazy and want to be an otaku, that's okay. He only needs to be a rubber stamp and draw circles. Even if you stay in the palace for decades, it will not affect the normal operation of the country.

Of course, no matter how homely and lazy His Majesty the Emperor is, there are some things that must be done. For example, important sacrificial activities, diplomatic activities, and the canonization ceremony that Su Xue is now participating in.

This canonization ceremony was arranged in the afternoon after the "Chang Dynasty", but the whole morning did not make Su Ze easy. He has been making up for all kinds of etiquette, how to walk, how to stand, how to answer...... Even the speed of speech, the volume of the voice, and the tone of the voice are strictly required. Several officials of Taichang Temple stared at it meticulously, which made Su Xue cry bitterly.

Su Xue was wondering if these guys were deliberately tossing people.

Fortunately, Su Xue is not suffering alone, there are dozens of people who participated in the canonization ceremony this time. These classmates were tossed all morning, and a few teachers from Taichang Temple barely let them go.

The participants of this important ceremony are wearing "crown clothes", that is, "chapter clothes". This kind of clothing is the highest level of traditional Chinese dress, the legend has been in the Yin Shang period, to the Zhou Dynasty custom began to standardize, perfect, since the Han Dynasty has been followed by successive dynasties, a long history, although the type of crown dress, the scope of use, the distribution of the crest, etc., have been changed and evolved, the dynasties are different, the situation is more complicated, but the crown dress system has been used until the Ming Dynasty, until the Tartars occupied China, it was abolished.

The level of the crown is divided into six types from high to low, mainly by the number and length of the "旒" on the crown and the type and number of "crests" decorated on the clothes and clothes, but they are all black tops with red bottoms, that is, the so-called "Xuanyi clothes".

The emperor's crown dress is the highest level, that is, with twelve crowns, the top is painted with six chapter patterns of the sun, moon, stars, mountain, dragon, and Chinese insects, and the bottom is embroidered with algae, fire, pink rice, Zongyi, 黼, 黻 six chapter patterns, a total of twelve chapters, so it is also called the twelve chapter clothes.

The second is the nine chapters of the crown prince, the princes and kings, and ten thousand stones, the seven chapters of the marquis, more than 2,000 stones, and the generals, the five chapters of the princes and the king, the three chapters of the doctor, more than 400 stones, and the one chapter of the scholars and 100 stones.

What Su Ze is wearing now is the fifth-level crown robe, which is equipped with four crowns and dark clothes. The top is embroidered with a chapter pattern of pink rice, and the bottom is embroidered with two chapters of black and black, a total of three chapters.

This kind of canonization ceremony, which is almost a religious ceremony, is actually very boring and boring, and I am afraid that only those ritual freaks in Changji Temple and the Ministry of Rites will be willing to do it.

The ceremony was presided over by the prefects of Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites, and the high-ranking priests of several shrines were witnessed, and there was a lot of uproar for a long time. They felt fresh at first, but after a while, they felt uncomfortable.

"Our Imperial Majesty, it doesn't seem to be in good spirits......" Su Xue stood in the main hall with a serious face, and his curious eyes kept scanning the surroundings.

In fact, he can't blame His Majesty the Emperor, he has to come to participate almost once a month, after such a hundred years of tossing, even if the iron is numb, it is strange to be excited.
