The fifty-third volume, the twenty-second chapter, the gift
Just two weeks after the Divine Wind Temple returned to the hands of the Dragon Emperor Temple, in July 3584 of the Emperor Wa's calendar, the Forbidden City, which had been built for more than half a year, was finally completed. Zhang Tie also left the Forbidden City from the Dragon Emperor as soon as the Forbidden City was completed.
The pavilion moved to the Forbidden City.Δ
For the Dragon King Temple, building the Forbidden City is as simple as buying a piece of furniture for a billionaire.
Although the elemental crystals of the Dibaoyuan of the Dragon King Temple are in short supply, general property, especially the crystal coins used by ordinary people, are very rich. The Dragon King Temple, which monopolizes the entire Dragon King Domain, collects taxes on the crystal coins every year.
, have tens of billions. In this case, Zhang Tie wanted to build the Forbidden City, so he naturally built it. At the beginning, Dibaoyuan even thought that the Forbidden City was not big enough and wanted to build it bigger, but was rejected.
Zhang Tie objected, because to Zhang Tie, if the Forbidden City was to be built too big, it would be tasteless. As long as it was built according to his memory, it would be enough.
The newly built Forbidden City covers an area of less than one square kilometer. It is slightly rectangular and faces south. It is more than 98o meters long from north to south and more than 75o meters wide from east to west. It is surrounded by 10m high walls and there is a newly dug 5o road outside the city.
With a moat more than meters wide, the buildings in the entire Forbidden City are divided into two parts: the outer court and the inner court. The center of the outer court is the Dragon Emperor Hall, the Qianji Hall, and the Baohe Hall. The center of the inner court is the Qianqing Palace, the Jiaotai Hall, and the Kun Palace.
The three major palaces of Ning Palace.
The entire Forbidden City is magnificent. After it was built, many details completely exceeded Zhang Tie's expectations.
After moving to the Forbidden City, the outer court of the Forbidden City became the center of power of the entire Dragon Emperor Temple.
The Dragon Emperor Palace replaced the role of the Tian'an Tower in the Dragon Emperor Pavilion and became the place where Zhang Tie formally handles official business and the highest level of discussion within the Dragon Emperor Temple. The Thousand Machines Office presided over by seven elders is located in the Thousand Machine Hall.
The Baohe Hall became the place where ceremonies were held in the Forbidden City.
In addition to the three main halls in the outer court, there are many large and small courtyards, buildings, and more than 400 houses and palaces. The five courtyards of the Dragon Emperor Temple have also been moved to the outer court of the Forbidden City, each occupying one courtyard and surrounding the Thousand Machines Hall and the Dragon Palace.
Imperial Palace.
As for the inner court, the Qianqing Palace is where Zhang Tie sleeps and rests, and the Jiaotai Palace is where Zhang Tie retreats and practices. As for the Kunning Palace, Zhang Tie has not yet thought of what to use it for. After all, the inner court of the original Forbidden City is the emperor.
The harem is where the queen and concubines live, and the Kunning Palace is the queen's territory. Zhang Tie doesn't have many women and harems in the Sky World, so the Kunning Palace will naturally be temporarily vacant and handed over to the Forbidden City.
It is managed by the cold manager.
On both sides of the Forbidden City, there are two more military camps, which are the new camps of the Dragon Tooth Army. The Dragon Tooth Army formed by Zhang Tie spread like two wings on the east and west sides of the Forbidden City, protecting the Forbidden City.
After Zhang Tie moved to the Forbidden City, the Qianji Department also began to officially operate.
According to the operational requirements of the Qianji Palace established by Zhang Tie, among the seven elders, only three elders are on duty in the Qianji Palace and deal with various matters within the Dragon King Palace. The other four are practicing or doing their own things.
In order to solve the problem, the seven elders of the Dragon King Temple adopted a shift system and took turns to be on duty at the Qianji Temple.
Generally speaking, the elders on duty discuss together to solve the daily problems of the Dragon Emperor Temple. When encountering disagreements and disagreements, they adopt the principle of majority submission. Only when there is a major matter that the three elders on duty cannot decide, they will notify
The seven elders discuss together, and only when the seven elders cannot handle it or there are major differences of opinion, it is necessary to report it to Zhang Tie to make a decision. Otherwise, Qian Ji Chu is enough to handle all daily affairs of the Dragon King Temple.
When there were only five courtyards, the Dragon Emperor Temple has been operating continuously for more than nine hundred years. Although there were some stumbles, there were no major mistakes that were irreparable. Now that Zhang Tie is back, there is another one who can take over the five courtyards.
In the Thousand Machines Department, which is all under the leadership, the elders' respective small territories have been broken. They can only work together in the Thousand Machines Department. There are checks and balances among the elders, and there are also checks and balances in the Five Great Courtyards and the Thousand Machines Department. The Forbidden City and Dragon Teeth
There are also checks and balances among the military and these power agencies, and there is Zhang Tie at the top who holds the highest power. Under this situation, it is basically impossible for Qian Ji Chu and Wu Da Yuan to do anything without Zhang Tie.
In ancient times, some emperors and wise kings often used the method of moving the capital to break the old power and personnel framework and establish a new power and personnel framework to establish their dominance. Zhang Tie's move to the Forbidden City also had the same effect.
The new Dragon Emperor moved to the Forbidden City, which was a brand new scene for the Dragon Emperor Temple. For Zhang Tie, his move to the Forbidden City meant that his adjustments to the internal power structure and personnel of the Dragon Emperor Temple were basically in place.
Now that this is in place, it means that Zhang Tie has secured his position as Dragon King. From now on, Zhang Tie no longer needs to worry about the internal affairs of the Dragon King Temple and waste Zhang Tie's time. From now on, Zhang Tie can take care of the internal affairs of the Dragon King Temple.
All energy is invested in continuous cultivation.
On the evening of July 14, Zhang Tie, who was completely free, once again invited Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin to drink with him and admire the moon in the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City.
Now almost everyone in the Dragon King Temple knows that Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin are Zhang Tie's confidante and confidante. Although the two women are not very strong, they have a high status in the Dibao Courtyard because of their acquaintance with the Dragon King.
, coupled with Leng Manxue's words, these three women are extremely popular in the current Dragon Emperor City, and some nefarious people are already guessing who of the three women will take over the Kunning Palace in the Forbidden City in the future.
…
The weather is fine today. At night, the bright moon is like a wheel on the Dragon Emperor City, and the sky is shining brightly in the blue sky. In a garden of the Qianqing Palace, there are green trees like shade, golden scales playing in the water, and a few crickets rubbing their hands in the grass.
The peonies in the courtyard were in full bloom and their fragrance was fragrant. In a flower garden, a few red lights were lit, and Zhang Tie and his two daughters toasted again.
"It's not easy..." Zhang Tie raised his glass and sighed to the moon, "It's been more than half a year in the blink of an eye. The last time we toasted together, we were still in the Xinghua Courtyard. Unexpectedly, we were already in the Xinghua courtyard when we raised our glasses again.
In the Forbidden City, you two have worked hard over the past six months, and this glass of wine is my toast to you!"
The three of them clinked glasses and drank a glass of wine...
"Your Majesty still knows how hard we have worked..." Ji Yuelan put down her wine glass and glanced at Zhang Tie with some resentment, "In the past six months, His Majesty has given us an errand and pushed us aside, ignoring us both.
, the two of us are like His Majesty’s tools, I thought His Majesty would have forgotten both of us!”
"His Majesty is so high up now. We are just soldiers in His Majesty's hands. Your Majesty wants us to keep an eye on Dibao Courtyard, so we just keep an eye on Dibao Courtyard. How can we dare to say that we have worked hard?" Jiang Ruoxin also sighed, quite a bit self-pitying.
After her first sexual kiss with Zhang Tie in Xinghua Courtyard, Jiang Ruoxin had a special feeling for Zhang Tie, and her whole mentality also changed in microseconds. Especially since Zhang Tie became the Dragon Emperor, maybe Jiang Ruoxin
She didn't realize it herself. Whenever she faced Zhang Tie, she acted more and more feminine in front of Zhang Tie, whether it was her expression, movements, or tone of voice.
Although the two women complained on their lips, Zhang Tie could tell that the two women were still very happy today. Just look at the peony-like attire and elaborate makeup the two women were wearing today.
I know, many times, a woman’s mood is actually reflected in her clothes and appearance.
"When the three of us are together, we don't want Your Majesty to be more senior than His Majesty. You can just call me the same as before. In order to secure the position of Dragon King, I have been as tired as a dog in the past six months. Where can I find time to find you?"
Chatting and drinking, no, now whenever I have time, I immediately think of you, who said I forgot you!" Zhang Tie said with a smile, then took out a delicate box the size of a palm from his body and pushed it to Ji
In front of Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin. "Here, this is the gift I carefully prepared for you. I think you will like it..."
Sure enough, when they heard that Zhang Tie had prepared gifts for the two of them, the two women suddenly became energetic, their eyes began to shine, and they stared at the box together.
"You only prepared one gift for the two of us. This is so insincere!" Ji Yuelan started acting coquettishly, "How can you divide the two of us..."
"You will know after you open it and take a look?" Zhang Tie smiled.
The two girls looked at each other, and Jiang Ruoxin reached out and opened the box.
In the box, there is a lifelike jade turtle with its head stretched out and its innocent look. The shell on the turtle's back has natural mysterious lines. At first glance, the lines look like the character "Yang" in seal script.
Seeing this thing in the box, Jiang Ruoxin and Ji Yuelan tensed up instantly, and the smiles on their faces suddenly disappeared...
