Chapter 459 It’s still late at night
It is said that on the night when Chen Long, Zhuge Liang, and Huang Yueying were discussing whether there was a tunnel in Weiyang Palace, in the pitch-black tunnel of Weiyang Palace, the world's number one assassin, Shi A, had already arrived first and entered the protection zone unnoticed from the underground. The strict Weiyang Palace.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty grew up in Luoyang and did not know the tunnels of Weiyang Palace in Chang'an. Wang Yun, Jiang Ji and others under his command were all top officials in Luoyang or heroes outside the Sili area, so they had no interest in this great, almost abandoned palace. No one understood the Weiyang Palace in Xijing, especially the tunnel entrances and exits under the palace city, which gave Shi A an opportunity to take advantage of.
Shi A struggled to dig through the ground, got out from the side of the dome, and quickly crouched in the darkness, confirming the location of the palace with the help of the map of Weiyang Palace in his memory.
Weiyang Palace is also called Zi Palace or Ziwei Palace. In ancient China, the celestial bodies and stars were divided into three walls. The middle wall has fifteen purple stars, also called Ziwei Palace. Ziwei Palace is the residence of the Emperor of Heaven, and Weiyang Palace is the palace of the Emperor on Earth.
There are three trunk roads within the palace city of Weiyang Palace. Two parallel east-west trunk roads run through the palace city, and there is a north-south trunk road in the middle that runs through it. Two east-west trunk roads divide Weiyang Palace into three areas: south, middle and north.
The area of the Weiyang palace complex accounts for about one-seventh of the total area of Chang'an. It is slightly smaller than another famous Changle palace, but the magnificence of the building itself exceeds it. There are one palace gate on each side, and there are ques at the east gate and north gate. The east tower is the Canglong Tower, outside the East Sima Gate, facing the west tower of Changle Palace. The north tower is the Xuanwu Tower, and there are no west and south towers. There are more than 40 palaces and rooms in the palace, as well as six hills and many pools. There are nearly a hundred large and small portals, and there is a pavilion road connecting it with Changle Palace.
There are many palaces in Weiyang Palace, the famous ones include Xuanshi Hall, Qilin Hall, Jinhua Hall, Chengming Hall, Wutai Hall, Gouyi Hall and other palaces. There are also Shoucheng Hall, Wansui Hall, Guangming Hall, Jiaofang Hall, Qingliang Hall, Yongyan Hall, Yutang Hall, Shouan Hall, Pingjiu Hall, Xuande Hall, Dongming Hall, Suiyu Hall, Phoenix Hall, Tongguang Hall, Qutai Hall, Baihu Hall, Yilan Hall, Wuyuan Hall and other halls Pavilion.
The main hall of the main court in the palace is called the "front hall" and is built on the hill of Longshou Mountain. "Xijing Fu" "The dragon head is sparse to resist the hall, and the shape is majestic to stand on the cliffs" describes the front hall of Weiyang. grand occasion.
It is said that the front hall of Weiyang Palace is made of fragrant and precious magnolias as rafters, and elegant apricot wood as beams and columns. The roof rafters are covered with gold foil, there are golden patterns on the door leaves, and the facade is decorated with jade and gilded. The copper pavilion is inlaid with various gemstones. The corridor railings are carved with delicate and elegant patterns, and the windows are cyan and decorated with antique patterns. In front of the temple, there is a slope on the left for riding on the car, and steps on the right for people to climb up. There are tall wooden pillars standing on the foundation stone, purple-red ground, glittering golden walls, and rare jade stones in between. Whenever the emperor ascends the throne, Officials of the court, royal weddings, funerals, etc. were all held in this hall.
Shi'a easily recognized the tall silhouette of the front hall in the dark night. He recalled the palace one by one and recognized the two towers in front of the palace not far away, which should be Jiaofang Hall.
The Queen's palace in the Western Han Dynasty was called "Jiaofang Palace". It was named because the walls of the palace were painted with pepper powder and mud. This not only gave the palace walls a warm color and made the room feel warm, but also because the Jiaofang Palace could make the palace fragrant. Attack people.
The main hall of Jiaofang Hall faces north and south, with double ques in front of the hall. The presence of a que in front of the palace is very rare and cannot be found in ordinary palaces. It shows the high architectural standards of Jiaofangdian, so it was accurately recognized by Shi A.
This Jiaofang Hall was the palace of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. It was only a few hundred meters away from the garden. Shi A began to calculate the number of guards and their patrol patterns. There were many guards, but not many experts. But Shi A did not dare to take it lightly. The real master is often hidden in the darkness, perhaps in the dark corners on the top of the palace or under the eaves.
However, Shi A Lai was already familiar with Jiang Ji's masters before. Now that Wang Yue was injured, the others were not in Shi A's eyes. Seeing the opportunity, Shi Amao scurried forward and moved like a ghost to the side of the flowers closest to Jiaofang Palace without making any sound.
Two teams of patrolmen passed between the two towers of Jiaofang Hall, their footsteps neat and light, obviously not daring to disturb the king's sweet dream. No one noticed the wisp of smoke behind them, and a black shadow had already reached the wall and quickly swam up the half-height window lattice. Shi A pulled out his dagger, inserted it into the crack of the window, and easily opened the wooden bolt inside.
Shi'a climbed through the window and entered the Jiaofang Hall. The space inside the hall was still vast. Shi'a saw four torches in the middle of the hall, reflecting a passage. At the end of the passage, there seemed to be a colorful bead curtain, shining with a little starlight.
Under the firelight, the hall became even darker. Shi'a took advantage of the changes in light and shadow and arrived at the bead curtain door in the blink of an eye. There was no sound in the main hall. Shi'a came to the bead curtain without any obstruction and pressed against the side wall. He only heard a gentle female voice: "Your Majesty, can't you sleep?"
Shi A didn't expect that the emperor was still asleep. He sluggishly squatted beside the board and stopped moving.
After a while, a young and soft voice said: "Fu Shou, did I wake you up?"
Shi Axin said, I heard that Queen Fushou was as beautiful as a flower, but I don’t know how she was born.
Fu Shou was the official empress of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. She was a native of Dongwu, Langye County, Xuzhou, and the eighth grandson of Fu Zhan, the Great Situ of the Western Han Dynasty. Her father was the scholar Fu Wan, and her aunt was the Princess Liu Hua of Yang'an. According to the official history, she served as the queen for twenty years, and died in confinement by Cao Cao in the 19th year of Jian'an.
Queen Fushou said: "Your Majesty, do you want Mr. Cao to sleep with you?"
Shi A suddenly remembered that his lord had dedicated his eldest daughter Cao Jie to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and was named a noble concubine. It was said that she was very favored.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sneered and said: "Fu Shou, that's just for show, how can you be jealous? How can I regard Cao Mengde's daughter as a confidant?"
Fu Shou said: "Chen Long is still the greatest threat to traitors and traitors."
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sighed and said: "Cao Mengde is far away and has sent her daughter to monitor me. I can only be careful. But Chen Long is right in front of me. The recent turmoil in Chang'an City makes it difficult for me to sleep and eat well." . What a shame that my mother still protects him with words and tells me to trust Chen Long no matter what, even rely on Chen Long, and not to fight against him. I am really speechless."
Fu Shou's voice came: "The Queen Mother was deceived by Chen Long, but she didn't know that Chen Long was coveting the throne. If she knew that Chen Long was about to take action, I'm afraid she wouldn't object."
The two were silent for a long time, and Fu Shou continued: "Fortunately, my father was prepared and secretly attracted General Li's troops, otherwise Chen Long would have taken the lead!"
Emperor Xian said: "With General Li's army outside and Yide inside, I feel a little relieved!"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
