Chapter 62 The Great Han Palace
Changle Palace, located in the southern corner of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, also known as the East Palace, was transformed from Qin Xingle Palace. In the early years of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang moved to this palace from Liyang City to accept the government affairs. After Emperor Hui of Han, Liu Ying changed it to the residence of the empress dowager. The palace was irregular square in the plane, with a wall around it, with a circumference of more than 10,000 meters and an area of about 6 square kilometers. The main buildings in the palace were front hall, Linhua Hall, Changxin Palace, Changqiu Hall, Yongshou Hall, Shenxian Hall, Yongchang Hall and Zhongshi. There was a gate on each side of the palace wall, and there were palaces outside the east gate and the west gate. However, it was destroyed by wars at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. Therefore, the palace we are referring to here is not him. (Hehe, Pi is very happy with this hand)
Weiyang Palace is located in the southwest corner of the city, also known as the West Palace, and is the place where emperors meet. The Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang, Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Western Jin Dynasty, Former Zhao, Former Qin, Later Qin, Western Wei, Northern Zhou Dynasty and other dynasties have handled government affairs here and are one of the most famous palaces in Chinese history. The plane of Weiyang Palace is close to a square, with walls built on all sides, 2,150 meters long from east to west and 2,250 meters wide from north to south, and an area of about 5 square kilometers. There is a gate on each side of the palace city, and a palace is set up outside the East Gate and the North Gate. There are more than 40 buildings in the palace.
The other three palaces in the city are all palaces where the concubines live. Gui Palace is located in the north of Weiyang Palace, close to the western wall, with a rectangular plane, 1,800 meters long from north to south and 880 meters wide from east to west. Mingguang Palace is located in the north of Changle Palace, and its specific location is unknown. The ruins of its main hall were superimposed by many later buildings, so they are generally called the Pavilion Platform. The Bei Palace is located north of Weiyang Palace, and its specific location is also unknown. According to records, flying pavilions and ground duplex roads are set up between each palace, which are connected to each other and cannot be seen by outsiders. In recent years, a large number of building materials, iron, bronze, stone tools, tiles, bone marks and currency have been unearthed in various archaeological activities carried out inside and outside the palace city, which have extremely high historical reference value.
On the outskirts of the city, Ganquan Palace is one of the six major palaces of the Western Han Dynasty. The other five palaces, Changle, Weiyang, Jianzhang, Gui, and North, are all concentrated in Chang'an. The Li Palace outside Chang'an is the most famous, and it is Ganquan Palace. Ganquan Palace is also called Yunyang Palace, built because of the Linguang Palace of Qin's old palace. It is not a palace, but a palace group. Scholars say that its actual status is to accompany the capital, which is right. This palace group is also a large garden, called "Ganquan Shanglin Garden" at that time (the tiles of "Ganlin" were unearthed), or provincially called "Ganquan Garden". The garden is imitated by Chang'an Shanglin Garden (formerly Qinyuan), which is both a summer resort and a patio for school hunting. There is a big lake in the south of the garden, which is also called "Kunming Pool". The palace in the garden is mainly made of Qin Linguang Palace and Han Yunyang Palace. In addition, there are also the Shou Palace where Emperor Wu prayed to worship the gods and Emperor Wu used the Tai
One of the bamboo palaces, as well as the high light, Changding, Wangxian, Qili, Zengcheng Palaces, Immortals (in Linguang Palace), Shiguan, Fenglu, Magpie, Dew Cold, Its longevity, Yingfeng, Chuxu, Hongji, Birdland, Wandering, Ladder, Yaotai, Ladder, White Tiger, Wende, Lovesickness, The South of Ganquanyuan, Now near Chunhua County, it turns out that there are Liyuan and Tangli Palace. Emperor Wu of Han came here to escape the summer heat and hunt in May to August every year.
Like Kangxi and Qianlong were in Chengde for summer vacation, and Mulan was in autumn, and the time was almost the same. Hunting was mainly hunting deer. During the summer vacation, the emperor also handled government affairs here (such as being subject to the county and state plans), accepted the vassal of princes, especially dealing with vassal affairs, enjoying foreign guests, and sending envoys to the frontier. For example, Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, which was from here. Emperor Xuan of Han accepted the vassal of the Xiongnu Shanyu and the barbarian kings, and was also here.
The main buildings in the Weiyang Palace include the front hall, Xuanshi Hall, Greenhouse Hall, Qingliang Hall, Qilin Hall, Jinhua Hall, Chengming Hall, Gaomen Hall, Baihu Hall, Yutang Hall, Xuande Hall, Jiaofang Hall, Zhaoyang Hall, Bailiangtai, Tianlu Pavilion, Shiqu Pavilion, etc. The front hall is located in the middle of the entire palace. The base is about 350 meters long from north to south, about 200 meters wide from east to west, and the highest point at the north end is about 15 meters. It is said that it was caused by the hills of Longshou Mountain. According to historical books, Wei
There is a Sima Gate on each side of the Central Palace, and there is a Que on the east and north sides, called the Dongque and Beique. At that time, the princes came to the court and entered the Dongque, and the scholars wrote to the letter to the Beique. (The above is a lot of knowledge. The reason why I spent a lot of money here is because I would mention it in one sentence when I use it in the future. This paragraph can be spoiled. It will be of great use when the protagonist enters Luoyang as an official in the later period, but it will not be mentioned after it is mentioned here. I hereby declare that it is not a water chapter)
Now, our Weiyang Palace has just welcomed his new master. This year is the first year of Jianning. The famous Han Ling Emperor in later generations was the first year of ascending the throne. The Han Ling Emperor, who had just become emperor, was still very ambitious. But he didn't know that this majestic place he had always yearned for was full of blood, conspiracy, imprisonment, filth, and killing. These were all things he didn't like and disliked. But from the moment he sat on the throne of the emperor, all these things rushed towards him, which caught him off guard. All he could feel now was fatigue and deep fatigue. Looking at the eunuchs and eunuchs around him, and the many ministers who were discussing the heatedly but had ulterior motives below, all of this made him feel very tired.
And the most important thing is that Dou Wu and Chen Fan were just removed some time ago, and the two ministers he trusted most, and the eunuchs told me that they wanted to rebel. However, no one believed it here. The man was dead. Whatever these guys said, he just wanted to stay in the harem alone. Only the most basic desires could satisfy his empty heart. Emperor Ling of Han finally couldn't stand it and waved his hand: "You go and discuss things. I'm tired. I'm back to the palace and get back to the palace." After saying that, he didn't wait for anyone to reply, and got up and went back to the harem. The eunuchs and palace maids had to follow behind. The ministers who discussed the heatedly were instantly silent and had to leave in a naughty way. The imperial court of a huge empire has now fallen to the point where there is no real leader. He can only go through a formality every day and do errands.
Emperor Ling of Han Liu Hong was sitting in a jade chariot, shaking little by little. Liu Hong went to the harem in one step and three steps. He closed his eyes in the car on the road, and sat in the car bored, and then thought about what he should do in a while. Recently, he had been tired of the original entertainment activities. It was time to think of some new ways to play activities. So, what should he play now? Liu Hong thought about this, and a despicable curve curled up the corner of his mouth, and Liu Hong licked his lips a bit abnormally.
