Passing the Zhuque Imperial Road, it was successively the Yanshi, Taimiao, Taishe, and the offices of all officials, and came to Xuanyang Gate. Xuanyang Gate is also called Baimen. It takes eight directions of heaven and earth into the eight gates, and the southwest into Bai, so it is called Baimen.

Speaking of Baimen, there is another interesting story. An Zidao thought Baimen was ominous and was very taboo. Both the court and the inside and outside knew his quirk, so whether it was memorial or the right memorial, they said Xuanyang Gate but not Baimen. Once, the right minister of Shangshu He Yi spoke quickly for a moment and said that Baimen was like this. An Zidao angrily scolded: "Bai your house!"

This is not a quarrel between children on the street, but it happened between emperors and ministers, and almost became the most enduring joke in the Chu State. In addition to this, there is another anecdote in Baimen. At the beginning, there was no city wall here, and it was full of bamboo fences. The folk rap said: "The three-fold door of Baimen, the bamboo fence cannot be worn out!" After An Shiyu, the founding emperor of Chu State, said, he ordered the construction of the city wall to be spent on a huge amount of money. After two generations and hundreds of years of improvement, it can be called solid.

There are many willow trees on both sides of the Imperial Road, locust trees and orange trees, neatly pruned, beautiful and practical, and are regarded as the earliest street trees in the east, west, south and north. In another time and space, hundreds of years later, a famous poet Wei Zhuang of the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem to praise the willow trees in Taicheng: the river rains are drizzling, and the river grass is singing in the sky in the Six Dynasties. The ruthless willows in Taicheng are still covered with smoke for ten miles of dikes. In addition, it is said that the marquis inside and outside the Northern Wei spy agencies sent many famous marquis officials to Chu State to secretly learn the techniques of urban construction. Yes, they did not spy on intelligence or terrorist activities for murder, but they just observed how to build a city. It is estimated that the street trees also secretly learned them.

After passing Xuanyang Gate, the ox cart walked about two miles and arrived at the Grand Sima Gate. This is the second palace wall, which looks thicker and more profound than the Xuanyang Gate.

The Grand Sima Gate is dedicated to the emperor's entry and exit, and Cao Zhi was imprisoned by Cao Cao because he was drunk and walked into the city. To the east of the Grand Sima Gate is the Duan Gate, and foreign envoys are open only when they enter and exit. The ox cart goes around to Xihua Gate, which is the side gate, and behind the gate is the palace. According to the law, the small yellow gate gets off the car first. Xu You understands the rules and is about to force his body to stand up. Xiaohuang Gate stops him and says, "The master has an order. The man is seriously ill and does not need to walk. You can take the car to Taiji Hall."

This is a great grace, but it is really a delusion to make Xu You cry. The little yellow door held a sign in his hand and knocked on the palace gate. The ox cart drove in, and the door creaked slowly and closed slowly.

Taicheng is now far larger than the Three Kingdoms and the Wei Dynasty. It includes the Taichu Palace built in the Sun Quan period, the Zhaoming Palace built in the Sun Hao period, the Xianyang Palace built in the Wei period, and the Taiji Hall built during the reign of Anzidao. These palaces are located on the east, west and north sides, with large and small sizes and magnificent sizes. The Taiji Hall is the main hall of Taicheng, eight zhang high, twenty-seven zhang long, and ten zhang wide. There are twelve rooms in the hall, symbolizing the twelve months of a year.

There are Tai Chi East Hall and Tai Chi West Hall on both sides of Tai Chi Hall, each with seven rooms, which are the places where the emperor discusses politics, banquets, receptions and living daily.

The place where An Zidao met Xu You was in Tai Chi West Hall!

The ox cart stopped, two small yellow doors waited aside, helped Xu You get out of the car, and then walked into the hall. Xu You lowered his head and looked at the furnishings in the hall with the candlesticks around his body and crane neck. He saw carved luans, green elliptical pillars, pictures with clouds, paintings with fairies and yellow glazed tiles, adding a bit of solemnity and elegance, but these are not luxurious. An Zidao has always been a good emperor, frugal and considerate of people's livelihood, which cannot be denied.

However, as he gradually entered his old age, he was stubborn and powerful, and his orders changed every day. The so-called emperor's minds slowly made the government and the country mess up. Only then did the white thief ride on the wind and attack the Buddhist Taoist dynasty endlessly. Even if the prince was abolished or not, it was sometimes this, sometimes there was no way to follow the situation, and the country was shaken, which was the source of chaos.

I thought about these things that were not available, and I had already reached the inner hall under my feet, and there were no guards at the door. In fact, I rarely saw elite troops patrolling back and forth along the way, and it seemed that the defense was normal. I wonder if An Zidao had been in peace for too long or if he had full trust in the left and right guards responsible for the security in the palace.

After a profession like an emperor has been used for a long time, his thinking and cognition are completely out of touch with ordinary people. It is difficult to understand or imitate. Listening to praises every day, even mentally retarded will feel that he is wise and powerful. The authoritarianism that is solemn and arrogant is no longer the category of narcissism and confidence. Maybe there is really an assassin. An Zidao thought that glaring at the eyes and dragon energy protecting his body can make the other party accept his head and worship him.

But that said, Taicheng has three palace walls, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack. If there is no internal response, it will take at least several months to break through the periphery. But looking at the past and present, many tragic things happened within the palace walls, and Jiajing was almost strangled to death by several palace maids. How could An Zidao guarantee that thousands of people in the palace and none of them had any unfaithful intentions?

Bypassing the glass screen, there was a man sitting behind the Huang Duan Yu table, wearing a wide-sleeved cloth shirt, a white gauze hat, and holding a jade Ruyi in his hand. Although he was old and wrinkled, his eyebrows and eyes were sparse and could vaguely see his youthful style. He was tall, his arms and hands looked very slender, and his beard was clean and comfortable, but his sideburns were covered with white hair, which was still beyond the years.

Xu You only looked at it, knelt down, leaned down and said respectfully, "Xiaomin Xu You, please see the Lord!"

An Zidao smiled and said, "Get up, you are not in good health, so you don't have to pay a lot of worship. Lin Shuanghu, go and give Xu You a seat!"

Lin Shuanghu's name sounds domineering, but in fact he is an old eunuch. He was an old man when An Zidao was in the residence, and he followed him to serve him for decades and was in his heart.

Xu You thanked him and stood up, knelt on the cushion, but he grabbed the side of his legs with both hands, as if he was swaying and weak. An Zidao looked peaceful, his eyes flashed over Xu You's pale cheeks, and said, "Have Wen Ruquan taken your pulse?"

The emperor seemed to be talking, and Xu You tried his best to keep the hoarse voice from phlegm blocking, saying: "Yes, Doctor Wen said that he would be raising him for several months, but he might be fine..."

His injury was severe and he was not cured. The story that had not been much for the rest of his life had spread long ago. Of course, An Zidao would not have no idea. He nodded and said, "It's so good. Since you have defeated Cui Yuanxiu, you don't have to worship him anymore. Changganli has a pleasant scenery, so stay here to recuperate."

Xu You originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity to pretend to be sick and stayed there. Now with the emperor's words, stranding in the capital is no longer a problem, so he hurriedly bowed his head and thanked him.

"Xu You, do you know what happened to call you today?"

"The little people are stupid!"

"Princess Danyang requested to rehabilitate the entire Xu family. Can you know in advance?"

"The little people knew and tried to dissuade the princess, but the princess said it was light and the princess refused to listen..." Xu You paused, and saw that An Zidao did not say anything, so he hugged and said, "The Lord is grateful that the little people are invincible and the family is seeking rehabilitation. When Xu saw the punishment, he was sad, but the thunder, rain and dew were all the kindness of the king. You should have died, but it was the Lord who personally ordered the death penalty to be forgiven and placed in Qiantang, and then gave it to the gentry. The king's kindness is deep, so how can he repay it? Thinking about it day and night, I wish I could hold grass and make rings, and my heart was trampled on the ground, so that my master could be rewarded and illuminated all countries!"

An Zidao smiled and said, "I often hear people tell you about all kinds of things in Qiantang in the deep palace. I think that the Xu family did not study for three generations, so they acted recklessly, which led to the ancestral sacrifices being cut off every night. It is very difficult for you to be famous for your literary talent. It is also considered as the blessing of Xu's founding of the country, and he left a successor. As for the others, you save Danyang in a dangerous place, donate your family property in the army, use your great wisdom to create thunder, use your bravery to protect the northern Gu, and be loyal to the country, and be a model for the subordinates..."

The emperor called himself me, starting with Qin Shihuang, but apart from some formal occasions and edicts, the emperors since the Qin and Han dynasties did not speak all of me, but called me more and more frequently. In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the rules and regulations collapsed and the rituals and music were disordered. Not to mention the private claim, even the edicts often called me not "I". On the contrary, after the Tang and Song Dynasties, the emperors became more pretentious, so I replaced me and became a daily term.

Xu You said ashamed: "The common people worshipped west all day long, like Kuai Huo sank the sun. Whenever they thought of the lord's kindness, they were so grateful that they would forget their bodies. Only then did they use their small production to supply military supplies to the slightest extent, and they used their clumsy wisdom to create thunder but did not dare to be greedy for the achievements of their ancestors. In the north Guli, if Gu Zhang and the gentry were not working together, they would be afraid that they would have been in different places and had not made any achievements. However, they would have been rewarded with tens of gold and sealed the mountains and forests, and they were extremely frightened!"

An Zidao was very satisfied with Xu You's response, and it could even be said to be very appetizing. He thought that he was loyal to the country but was provoked for six days, and was sent by the other party to join forces to assassinate him. It can be seen how much Liutian hated him. This not only exposed the defensive defects of the capital, but also made him lose face.

An Zidao sighed and signaled Lin Shuanghu to hand over several letters to Xu You, saying, "You were still young before and had never heard of many things. This is the letter from Xu Zhan to others. Just look at it and you will know that I am not missing the old love..."

Xu You opened the letter and found that it was his grandfather in his handwriting. The content was very simple and clear, mostly complaining, expressing dissatisfaction, resentment towards the court and criticism of the emperor. However, these are not considered serious crimes. The two main letters are records of Xu Zhan and Yin Xia, the then governor of Xiangzhou.

Xu You was sweating profusely and couldn't stand it. He did this on purpose to fit his character, but he still couldn't figure out An Zidao's intention.

"Yin Xia had the intention to rebel. He knew that Xu Zhan was dissatisfied with the court and instigated his fellow disciples to raise an uprising. Although Xu Zhan did not agree, his words were ambiguous, and he was dissatisfied with the two ends of the heads. So before going on a tour, I ordered the prince to supervise the country and asked him to ask Xu Zhan to come to Beijing for questioning. However, the prince and Xu Zhan had old grudges, so he dared to forge an edict to send troops to Yixing and kill the entire Xu family... It's a pity! After the three northern expeditions, I was a little alienated to Xu Zhan. At this time, I thought that I was also very surprised that the people around the prince were making noise all day long, saying something Xu Zhan was incompetent in the country, which led to this tragedy!"

An Zidao didn't have to explain these to Xu You, nor did he know that he was too worried. Finally, he recalled the friendship of fighting side by side in the past. He felt a little regretful about Xu Zhan's execution? Or he saw that Xu You's life was not long, and the last seed of Xu's family would be destroyed. He said these words to make him feel at ease and for the sake of.

Xu You sneered in his heart. Xu Zhan complained that it was true, but if he said treason, he could not get involved. At most, he would be aware of the situation and not report it. Even if the arrest was a criminal offense, he would be exempted from official positions and given a title. Why would the whole family be slaughtered?

In the final analysis, An Zidao wants to kill people and establish his authority, killing four birds with one stone, which not only weakens the clans and hinders the prince. However, the dignified emperor has power, but he uses this vicious trick, which makes people despise him.

"However, we can't say that Xu Zhan was wronged. After Yin Xia failed, he committed suicide by taking poison and later quelled the White Thieves' Rebellion. When the Sili Mansion thoroughly investigated, he found that Yin Xia was originally a person with the Way of Wuwei Banner Flowers, and he obeyed the orders for six days." An Zidao's aura suddenly changed, his eyes were swaying, and the entire inner hall was almost depressed and unable to breathe. He said: "Six days, you have seen their cruelty and incompetence. Anyone who has an affair with Six Days can be killed!"

Xu You still remembers Yin Xia. Shortly after the Yixing Incident, Yin Xia was executed by excuses. Now he realized that he was taking poison and committing suicide. In this way, this person was indeed a secret line for six days. If he could win over the Xu family's rebellion, his success rate would definitely be much higher than that of Du Mingyu. But even if there were two more Xu families, it would still be a fool to change the dynasty. Xu Zhan would not understand this, so he was vain and did not give Yin Xia a clear answer, but he did not report it to the court. When the failure continued, he finally gave An Zidao the opportunity to take advantage of the issue.

What can I do if I am just apologizing!
