There are three city gates on each side of the Eastern Zhou royal city, a total of twelve city gates, a gate in the south, a gate in the north, and a gate in the east. Each city gate has three passages, and the city has a meridian and Weidao. Jiujie. The palace is built on the Central Avenue. There is a palace in front of the palace and a commercial market behind it. There is also a paradise, a Chinese altar, a Qingyang Pond, a military affairs hall, etc.

There is an altar and country on the right side of the palace, a ancestral temple and ancestral hall on the left, and a Ming Hall in the south of the city.

Mingtang is the most solemn building built by ancient emperors. It is used as a court meeting with princes, issued government orders, enjoying sacrifices to the sky in autumn, and offering sacrifices to ancestors. In general, it is a hall for the government affairs, so since ancient times, there has been "the emperor sitting in Mingtang". ”.

The overall layout of Mingtang...there are also patios, big rooms, Xuantang, Si'a, etc. behind it. Generally speaking, it is a huge, square palace. In this palace, there are a total of twenty-five. A "room", Mingtang is the first one to enter from the gate, and it is also the main hall.

The Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty went to welcome the emperor, but the emperor was sick and had a bad look.

The emperor is over one hundred years old and is not an immortal young man. The old man's face is pale, but when he sees the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he still smiles jokingly.

The Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty did not look at him, but said a little tough: "Today, the three palaces are in charge. I came to the Zhou royal capital to meet the Zhou emperor and discuss the return of the three palaces. From then on, there will be no more Taixue, Yunmeng, Jixia, and three The palace is returned to the same place, and the gentry of the three palaces are all obeying the orders of the emperor."

"From the time when King Ping moved east to this day, it has been 4,700 years since the nations have been in dispute, and they have not come to pay tribute. They have no emperor and have cedeed the land and become king. Before, the Chu Man has won the throne, and later, the Qin Wu Ju Yong, the Zhou family has declined, the rivers have fallen, the rituals and music have been broken, the rituals and music have been broken, and the rituals have collapsed. Morality does not exist, but all these will change at this moment."

"Congratulations to the Emperor, this kind of etiquette and music will be restored, and Zhou Xing is expected."

The emperor did not speak. He barely gasped, sat in front of his old wooden couch, staring at the Duke of Western Zhou.

The Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty lowered his head and said, "Serve the Emperor to change his clothes."

After he finished speaking, a soldier came up next to him, not daring to use force, and helped the emperor up timidly, but this look seemed like a coercion no matter how he looked.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't say anything.

He couldn't say anything.

As early as the time of King Xian of Zhou, because this king squandered his wealth, the Zhou royal family had no gold and jade, and they were all tiles. When King Shenliang of Zhou was in power, the two Zhou Dukes from the East and West were moved, and the emperor was moved. When King Wu of Qin raised the tripod After the incident, Ying Ji led his troops into the capital of Zhou Luoyang, expelled the emperor from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and forced him into the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The Duke of Western Zhou was equivalent to surrendering to Qin State. In general, he was just a rat villain who flattered King Zhaoxiang of Qin for the sake of his small profits.

The emperor changed his clothes and put on the crown of the king of humans. He saw the Western Zhou Duke, this guy who also looked old, firmly controlled the current Zhou Dynasty temple. However, the act of ceding the land was so stupid. Zhou Kao, the son of King Zhending of Zhou, The king's act of ceding the land completely destroyed the emperor's majesty.

The Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty stepped forward and said coldly: "I'll help the emperor into the Mingtang Palace."

He took the emperor's arm and the weak old man suddenly laughed.

"I heard that the rats in the cave can only see the rice falling in front of the gap, but cannot see the swords and axes raised from the rice; the fish in the river can only see the twisted red worms, look No painless struggle of the earthworm and the shiny fish hook.”

"Huangdi once traveled north of Chishui and lost the Xuanzhu when climbing the hill of Kunlun. At that time, there was a god named Li Zhu who could see a hundred steps away, see the end of the hair, and peek at thousands of miles forward, so Huangdi's life was ordered

He went to search for it, and within a few days, Xuanzhu was restored."

"Now, Zhou Yixuanzhu has no ministers who are free from Zhu, so they cannot be restored. You also know that the rituals and music are broken... Do you also... know?"

The emperor's voice was not loud and seemed very weak. The Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty lowered his head and looked cold: "Whatever he did was considered by the royal family, and what he was taken by the Yuan Sheng."

The emperor laughed: "Where is the King Zhending sword?"

The Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty suddenly looked up, looking shocked and suspicious!

The emperor shook his head: "......... go... take me to meet the scholars of the Three Palaces... bring my sword."

The Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty moved his eyes down.

The emperor repeated: "Bring my sword."

The Emperor's Sword?

The king and his ministers had their own thoughts, but when they went to Mingtang, the emperor was seriously ill and needed someone to take care of him. The old man sat on the throne, but he was filled with emotion.

The position of the common ruler of the world has actually been no longer with him since the moment he was expelled by Ying Ji.

The so-called "princes" who really have real power now is actually King Zhao of Qin.

When King Wu of Qin raised the cauldron, he even cursed Qin Wu severely. At that time, he also felt that he was happy about the death of Juebin after he raised the cauldron. However, he did not expect that even though King Wu died, King Zhao ascended the throne, what he did

, more terrifying and excessive than King Wu.

At this point, he completely recognized his position. It turned out that the emperor had long been gone, and the rituals and music were broken, which was definitely not just a saying.

Is this the Emperor of Zhou?

Cheng Zhiyuan arrived in Luoyang and after a series of procedures, he entered the Zhou royal city safely.

What Cheng Zhiyuan imagined was that there would be an evil boy hurting people whenever he entered the city... nor did it happen.

The specific reason is because of the Zhou royal family. There are no more wealthy families in Luoyang. No one is stupid enough to live here and wait for death. If he should surrender to other countries, he will surrender. With the Zhou emperor, there is obviously no future.

Luoyang was dead, which was Cheng Zhiyuan's first impression.

Su Li was very moved. When asked, the answer was unexpected.

"I am from Luoyi. Su Qin, Su Dai, Su Li and Su all came from Luoyang, not Qingqiu, so it may have something to do with Tushan clan. It is going back six or seven thousand years ago, but now,

It's no longer a matter of concern."

The ox cart swayed in. Cheng Zhiyuan was looking at the "door number" of the Zhou Palace in the distance, and suddenly felt an abnormal breath in his heart. He turned his head and saw a white-clothed person on the street.

swordsman.

His strange swordsman with a long sword on his back was covered with cloth, and his head was covered with a hat. This kind of outfit was not uncommon in the middle of winter. After all, it was normal to be afraid of the cold and wrap it like this.

Zhiyuan saw the swordsman talking to a shabby woman, but this guy seemed to be well versed in the art of "flirting with girls". He said the woman in a few words without saying anything, and his face turned red.

If the government saw it, it would be necessary to take care of it. Unfortunately, there are basically no law enforcement agencies in Luoyi now, and the women who can come out to sell things obviously have not had a good family conditions. Luoyi now depends on it.

To maintain trade with various countries and to rely on the blessing of the emperor, his final use is probably as a "neutral symbol" that allows merchants from all over the country to resell some goods here without being affected by war.
