Hanyuan Palace was built in 663 AD, and there was a small flaw

The majesty of the Daming Palace is indescribable. From the perspective of modern people, the Forbidden City in the Ming and Qing dynasties is large enough! But the area of ​​the Forbidden City is only one-quarter of the Daming Palace.

Compared with foreign palaces, it is the same exaggeration. The Palace of Daming is three times that of Versailles in France and twelve times that of the Kremlin in Russia...

To put it in a specific way, it has 500 standard football fields, which is simply too bold.

The main hall of the Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall, is located on a three-meter-high base, and the entire hall is four feet above the flat ground. From a distance, Hanyuan Hall is leaning against the blue sky, tall and majestic, and inspiring.

Standing in Hanyuan Hall, you can look down at Chang'an City at your feet, and a heroic feeling arises naturally. I shout that this is my world, so I feel so happy.

However, no matter how happy it is, except for the emperor, if others say this, they will pay more than just a price to lose their heads, and it will be almost the same if they implicate the nine clans.

When the grand court meeting was held, all the officials who attended the court stood under the bell and drum tower under the supervision of the censor, waiting to enter the court. When the court meeting was held, the supervisor and the counselor stood on both sides of the railings on the upper floor of Longwei Road.

The so-called "Thousands of officials look to Chang'an, and all nations worship Hanyuan", "The palace is opened in the nine heavens, and all nations worship crowns and tassels" describes the grand occasion of the Hanyuan Hall dynasty meeting.

In the hall, Empress Wu Zetian was receiving envoys from various countries on behalf of the emperor. When she came to Prince Lunis, Kang, the guy saw Prince Mingyue dressed as a female official and actually got entangled in the hall.

With so many foreign envoys below, it can be said that they were all embarrassed to throw them all over the world.

Wu Zetian was also a little unhappy with him and said condescendingly, "The dance from the Western Regions is good, and Prince Kang's dance is good, so I'll give you a song later!"

Of course, the humiliation was not very important. In the Tang Dynasty, aristocratic and senior officials who had status sang and danced in public at banquets, which was a very normal, elegant and tasteful activity, and no one would laugh at it for this.

When Li Jing destroyed the Eastern Turks, the Li family and his son held a banquet to celebrate. Emperor Taizong of Tang, who had been emperor for several years, danced in public at the banquet. The Supreme Emperor and Lao Li played the pipa and the ministers toasted one by one.

Before Lunis danced, Princess Mingyue performed an extremely exciting dance with the Tang Dynasty court dance troupe, almost sucking his soul away.

He secretly made up his mind to ask for a marriage and get the princess.

Unfortunately, Yuan Pengfei couldn't see such a wonderful dance. He was a small imperial guard who was guarding the city wall for the royal family!

...

"Have you heard it? A little prince asked Princess Mingyue of our Tang Dynasty to marry him. His Highness promised him to get the first place in the military competition, so he would give him the marriage."

"You are behind! The Sixteen Guards of the Imperial Guards have spread all over the place. The brothers are ready to find a prince to see!"

"You are right, let him be a foreigner and achieve the ultimate victory. Where can we put the face of our Tang Dynasty? Where can we put the face of the brothers of the Sixteen Guards? We must give him some color."

The news spread very quickly and all aspects of action were also very fast. The imperial guards competed to screen the candidates for the contest, and the gambling shops in the city began to select seed players, preparing to open a carnival, and made a big profit.

Yuan Pengfei returned to the Marquis' Mansion after hearing this. He was not surprised. He just tried his best to hone his martial arts skills and prepared to make his mark in the imperial guards competition to get an opportunity to talk to His Majesty the Queen.

"Erlang, are you preparing to participate in the imperial guards' competition?"

The Marquis' eldest son, his cheapest brother, walked into the courtyard and looked at him with a smile and said confidently.

This is the lice on the bald head, which is obvious. At this time, practicing martial arts is to sharpen the gun in the face of battle, and it will be light and unhappy.

Otherwise, the son of the dignified marquis is enough to practice in the military camp, and Xiu Mu should also tease the maids and admire the dance of the beard at home.

"Of course, this is an opportunity to stand out. His Majesty the Queen must come to watch it. If you perform well, it will be easy to upgrade to a higher level."

Yuan Pengfei put away his spear, looked at the elder brother dressed in a literati, and asked, "Brother is very interested today. I didn't go outing with your friends and talk about poetry or something?"

The Marquis was a shrewd person, and the prospects of civil servants were better during the Taiping period. Therefore, there was no shortage of civil servants and military officials in the family. If they were well operated, they would ensure that the family would have a prosperous life for a century.

His cheapest brother Yuan Chenming studied the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and he followed the imperial examination path. Most of his time he spent playing with those sour literati and playing poems with those sour literati.

Like his younger brother who is a normal person who performs with guns and sticks, he has different values ​​and qualities, so he naturally cannot pee in a pit. He usually nods and greets him a few words, and there is no such thing as taking the initiative to greet him.

The sun came out to the west today? Of course not.

Yuan Chenming came to pass the message, "Aye asked me to tell you, it is best not to participate in the imperial guards' competition, otherwise you will lose Aye's face if you lose."

"What is this? I dare not say it first with confidence, but I am sure to win the top ten. How could I lose face to Aye?" Yuan Pengfei frowned and asked.

That's right, his cheap father was named a marquis with his military merits, and his family's martial arts were considered relatively high-end.

But there are more generals who are better than him, and the martial arts inherited by their descendants are not bad. Yuan Pengfei won the top ten in the imperial guards competition, which is already very embarrassing.

But Yuan Chenming was unmoved at all and sneered, "So what if you get the top ten? Your opponents are all common people. Even if you get the third place, no one will feel that you are glorious."

There are many nobles in the imperial guards, so how could his opponents be all civilian children? Yuan Pengfei looked at his cheap brother's expression and waited for the following text.

"Tell you the truth. This is a game at the top and no one can afford to offend, so your best choice is to stand by and watch the show. You understand!" Yuan Chenming was too lazy to explain to him, so he pointed it out a little and turned around and left.

After hearing these words, Yuan Pengfei felt agitation in his heart.

There is no love for no reason, nor hatred for no reason. This world is never as simple as it seems.

His Majesty, a prince, a princess, a princess, and a nobleman, may have more power. What is the inside story game like? It is not chess player who is not a chess player.

But no matter what, he still has to participate in this imperial guard competition, and there is no better chance to make his name than this one.
