The city gate where Li Luo and Queen Goryeo came was the "Lingxing Gate" of the imperial city. The tall walls and magnificent city towers showed the domineering spirit of radiating thousands of miles and dominating the world.

The one guarding the city gate is the elite among the elite: the Mongolian Qixue Imperial Guard.

Logically speaking, when Queen Goryeo arrives here, she has to dismount anyway, and then "register and check" to enter.

Li Luo is ready to dismount.

However, the queen did not dismount. Her retainers, cavalry guards, all sat upright on the horse.

Then the queen raised her flag, which was embroidered with a golden phoenix.

The retainer Yin Hou shouted immediately:

"Stand under the city is the daughter of Da Khan who married Goryeo far away, and your princess! Now, with joy, she returns to the great Khanbali to celebrate her great father's birthday! Who is it, letting you stand on the city tower and look at your master?!"

As soon as the Yin Hou finished speaking, the "Bashi Hachi" (city gate guard) on the city tower also said loudly: "I, Brother Tamuxi, saw a cloud of auspicious clouds floating towards me, and I saw the noble princess! If I don't open the city gate, the master's whip will fall on my head!"

After saying that "Eight Spike Haci", who was called Tamuxi, he waved his hand and soon the guards opened the city gate and let the princess enter on a horse. Not only her, but also the hundreds of horses behind her entered together.

Li Luo thought it was not surprising if he thought about it. The ritual system of Mongolian nobles was much more rough than that of the Han people.

At this time, the Mongols had strong confidence. Not to mention the noble princess, even if the enemy wanted to enter the city, they might all put it in. Besides, this "Eight Spikes Haci" (city gate guard) obviously knew the princess.

Only by entering this city gate can you enter the imperial city.

The imperial city is not the Da Nei Palace, but includes three major architectural complexes: Da Nei (Emperor Palace), Longfu Palace (East Palace), and Xingsheng Palace (Empress Dowager Palace).

That's right, only the emperor and the empress live in Danei. However, the empress dowager and the concubine do not live in Danei. They live in the completely independent "Xingsheng Palace". This is different from all imperial palaces in the past dynasties.

Li Luo followed the horse into the imperial city. When he looked around, he thought that it was indeed the case.

What is absolutely different from the imperial cities of all dynasties is that the three palace groups do not have the main gate of the imperial city as the central axis and the symmetrical layout on both sides. Instead, they are centered on the artificial lake Taiye Pond, and the three major building groups surround the Taiye Pond, which fully reflects the Mongolian custom of "setting up huts based on water and living by water and plants."

Between the huge buildings, there are mountains, forests, lakes and waters. The Yuan Dynasty Palace is a garden-style imperial city. Speaking of magnificence and wealth, it is far superior to the Ming and Qing palaces.

On the east bank of Taiyechi is the largest palace city of the Emperor (Da Nei). On the west bank of Taiyechi is the Longfu Palace of the Prince and the Xingsheng Palace of the Queen Mother.

There is also an island in Taiye Pond, Qionghua Island. There is also a palace on the island, Guanghan Hall.

Li Luo rode on the horse and looked around. Even inside the high walls of the imperial city, he felt vast, which shows how big the palace ban was.

He saw the grand and majestic palaces and attics, the lush mountains and forests, the shimmering waves, the rippling lake water, and the grass with green grass and autumn flowers.

Among the Fengge Dragon Tower, among the lake and mountains, there are groups of palace maids wearing colorful clothes like smoke and clouds. The sound of bells and zithers resounds slowly, as if coming from the sky.

Seeing this scenery, Li Luo was already exhausted. There was only monotonous beauty, magnificent, and magnificent beauty, and it was beyond words!

This is a palace designed by the top Arab architect Ye Hedierding. It took 200,000 yuan and took 18 years. You can imagine what it could be built.

Uncle Kublai Khan, you are very good at enjoying it.

However, in less than ninety years, this beautiful palace in the world was burned by Xu Da. Xu Da did not lose the reputation of Xiang Yu burning Afang because it was the "Palace of Barbarians".

The Queen of Goryeo's horse team was moving forward unscrupulously in the imperial city. The palace maids, eunuchs, and guards along the way all saluted her flags and ceremonial guards.

The queen went directly to the "Houzai Gate" at the north gate of Da Nei. The Houzai Gate has a high shelf and a spiral ladder, called the flying bridge stage. At this time, sixteen "demon dancers" were singing and dancing on the spiral stage, performing the Western Regions spiral dance.

A female official in Mongolian costume welcomed her out of the city gate and knelt down to Queen Goryeo and said, "Da Khan knew that his favorite daughter was back, so he used dance to welcome her into the palace to meet. Lord, your Abu and Eji are waiting for their daughter in Yanchun Pavilion. Slave, Tulan..."

Before the female official finished speaking, Queen Goryeo suddenly whipped her with a whip, "You are like an old woman who has been stolen from a lamb. Shut up."

After saying that, Queen Goryeo jumped off the horse and pointed at the three ministers and Li Luo, "You come in with me." The other cavalry guards also dismounted and sat cross-legged outside the city gate.

When I arrived at the gate of Houzai Gate of Oui Palace Castle, I finally had to check and interrogate. However, it was not Queen Goryeo, but Li Luo and four others who were questioned.

Li Luo and others took off their swords from the "Eight Spikes Haci" (city gate guard), and then followed them into the Great Inner.

As soon as you enter the palace, the first thing that catches your eye is a large grassland.

According to historical records, Kublai Khan once planted grass outside the border before the Great Inner Danban, which was called "suffering grass" to warn his descendants. However, later monarchs ignored these grasses.

At the end of the grassland is a magnificent palace. The high palace eaves reflect the blue sky in late autumn. The autumn wind blows the wind chimes on the palace eaves, and the artistic conception is distant and grand.

On the palace is a huge plaque with the words: Daming Palace.

Li Luo knew that the Ming Hall was the first hall in the palace and the main hall. It was not a single building, but a building complex, with eleven Daming Halls and seven Daming Gate...

Therefore, the name of this imperial palace is...Daming Palace. .

Li Luo felt it was very ironic. The Great Yuan was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, but the palace of Emperor Dayuan was called the Great Ming Palace.

There is a saying in history that why anti-Yuan refugees wanted to establish the Ming Cult? Why did Zhu Yuanzhang call the country Ming? Because they knew that the name of the Yuan Dynasty's palace was "Da Ming".

Then they simply used "Ming Dynasty" to indicate that they were the owners of the palace.

Of course, this statement is not trustworthy. Li Luo just found it interesting.

Another paradoxical coincidence associated with this statement is the Qianqing Palace of the Ming Dynasty. Then... the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty.

Li Luo had never seen the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty, but the Daming Palace of the Yuan Dynasty was far superior to the Forbidden City in later generations. Compared with the Daming Palace, the Forbidden City was too small, too short, and too rustic.

Looking around, there are palace maids, eunuchs, as well as the "Yundu Chi" (the guard with swords) and "Huoer Chi" (the guard with bows and arrows) everywhere.

Bypassing the huge grassland and the Daming Hall, Queen Goryeo went straight to Yanchun Pavilion behind.

Yanchun Pavilion is the bedroom of the empress of the Yuan Dynasty. Usually, the emperor would come to Yanchun Pavilion after handling political affairs in the Ming Palace.

Yanchun Pavilion is not a pavilion, it is also a building complex, with seven bedrooms and one hundred and seventy-two. In addition, there are many small pavilions and pavilions in the Hou Court.

The owner of the huge Yanchun Pavilion is the biological mother of Queen Goryeo, Queen Dayuan: Chabi.

Of course there is a palace wall between Yanchun Pavilion and Daming Palace. This time, Li Luo and the other four could no longer enter. Only Queen Goryeo could go in to see her father and mother.

Li Luo knew that it was not that easy to see Kublai Khan, but he really couldn't get in.
