Liguo architecture implements the rigorous and regular style of Liguo people, and Liguo Palace is especially outstanding.

The construction of the palace strictly abides by the five elements of yin and yang and the number nine, five and three, and the overall layout adopts the method of central axis symmetry, which means "impartiality".The palace covers a vast area, with many and dense buildings and pavilions, but the layout is rigorous, with clear priorities and orderly appearance.There are as many as forty main palaces, all of which stand tall on huge rammed earth foundations.

On the base of the front hall, there are four halls arranged from south to north. Important events such as King Li's ascension to the throne and acceptance of court visits are held in the first three halls. The sleeping palace can also be used as a side hall for handling government affairs. The king of the Li Kingdom often summoned his ministers to discuss state affairs here.

The highest palace in the entire palace is the "Hou Pavilion" behind the main hall.

The back pavilion is four feet high, with a wide courtyard in front and winding verandahs all around, following the pattern of facing south from the north and facing the courtyard in front.The entire palace stands alone at the end of the palace, like a patron saint, silently watching all living beings, silently protecting Liguo, heaven and earth, and protecting them all the time.

Here, it is Liguo's Niling Palace.Reverse, welcome also.Spirit, god also.

Since ancient times, Liguo has integrated worship and government, and adheres to the concept of "death is like life". Therefore, Niling Palace is a place to worship ancestors and gods. Its architectural regulations are almost the same as those of the main hall. Some changes. In the early days of leaving the country and founding the country, the national teacher was always with the king and participated in government affairs in person. However, the royal power and religion gradually separated. Today, the national teacher can no longer interfere with the former court, but lives in the back cabinet, specializing in Sacrifice and etiquette matters.

The palace servants led Feng Chen and his party to Niling Palace.

Outside the main hall, the two towers stand majestically, pointing straight at the sky. At a glance, they look like stone beasts guarding the tomb in front of the mausoleum.

There was a person standing on the steps. That person was dressed in purple and had black hair. His eyes were slightly lowered, and he looked down at the people below the steps expressionlessly. His expression was so aloof and full of dignity that he almost merged with the Nei Ling Palace behind him. One.

The palace people and guards all saluted one after another.

Feng Chen raised his head and looked at him.

The man's eyes swept over Yao Jieyu, and then looked at Feng Chen, as if he had no intention of talking to Yao Jieyu at all, and he didn't even want to ask about the other party's identity and purpose, as if he had no intention of talking to her Interested, but it seems that she already knows everything about her, so there is no need to ask any more.

The man's eyes stayed on Feng Chen for a moment, his face looked gloomy due to the backlight, his eyes were calm and calm, like a piece of ice that had been frozen for a hundred years.

Feng Chen looked at him and frowned slightly.

"I'm King Suyou." The man said suddenly, his voice was exactly the same as his eyes, the same flat, cold, almost without waves, people can't help but doubt for a moment: the person who spoke, couldn't be a stone sculpture, could it?

Feng Chen seemed to have had a premonition of something, he shook his hand unconsciously, the expression in his eyes changed, full of guard, and a little imperceptible panic, the panic flashed by, and soon, his eyes There was an almost begging look in his eyes again, as if he was praying that the other party would say what he wanted to hear.

King Suyou looked at him expressionlessly, then turned his body and said, "Come here." Then he turned around and walked towards the main hall.

Feng Chen walked up the steps, step by step, for some reason, every step he took, his heart suddenly became colder, and by the time he reached the gate of the main hall, his hands and feet were already cold.

The Niling Palace is divided into the main hall and the back hall. The main hall enshrines twelve gods. The green smoke curls up and the ever-burning lamps are kept on day and night. The whole hall is so quiet that you can hear the needle drop. wandering soul.

After passing through the main hall, you will arrive at the apse, which is the living place of the national teacher.

The palace lady slowly opened the door, a strong fragrance came over her face, the hall was dark, all the windows seemed to be covered, the sunlight was blocked, and the darkness invaded everything in the room.

The palace maid walked past them, walked into the hall first, and lit the lamps.

King Suyou turned around and glanced at Feng Chen.

Feng Chen stood at the door, suddenly feeling a little afraid to go in.

King Suyou turned around without saying a word, raised his legs and walked into the room.

Feng Chen stared blankly at his back, only felt that the dark hall in front of him was an endless abyss, an endless hell.

"General Feng." Yao Jieyu took a step forward, stood beside him, squeezed his hand lightly, trying to comfort him as much as possible.

Feng Chen closed his eyes for a moment, and stepped into the hall.

From a distance, Feng Chen saw a familiar bed.

The transparent gauze hangs down gently, surrounding the big bed, like a city wall, trying to protect the person on the bed firmly, so that he can sleep peacefully and never be disturbed by the outside world again.

Feng Chen stopped in his tracks, unable to walk any further.

King Suyou stood aside expressionlessly, and said slowly in a boring voice: "I will tell you everything you need to know, just ask whatever you want."

Feng Chen's ears buzzed, and he clenched his hands tightly, nails digging into his palms.

Yao Jieyu covered her mouth and looked at the person on the bed in disbelief, but she still couldn't believe it, she walked forward and opened the curtain herself.

Dressed in white and plain, he was as clean as snow, and his deep eyes were closed, hiding his clear and vivid eyes in the darkness forever, leaving only a calm expression, so calm, so peaceful, as if all the troubles in the world startled him Sorry.

Yao Jieyu opened her eyes and covered her mouth with her hands, for fear that she would cry out, but her eyes were already uncontrollably red.

"What is the national teacher..." She turned around and asked in a tone of shock and grief, but she couldn't say the last few words.

"Take poison and commit suicide." King Suyou looked at her expressionlessly: "Once he passes away, Qiong Kingdom will not be able to send troops to leave the country."

Yao Jieyu looked at him for a long time, her eyes seemed to be looking at a poisonous snake, she was silent for a moment, and said: "The monarch said that the assassination of Prime Minister Lin was revealed..." She paused, and continued word by word. Said: "The real informer is you, is this true?"

Feng Chen's pupils suddenly dilated, and he turned to look at King Suyou with a shocked look on his face.

Yao Jieyu's originally gentle and charming voice suddenly looked like a sharp needle, every word and every sentence made people sting all over.

"Yes." King Suyou still didn't change his face, as if the person everyone was talking about was not him, but just a stranger and an insignificant person.

Yao Jieyu: "Why did you do this? If you hadn't obstructed it at that time, maybe the national teacher would have been able to get rid of Prime Minister Lin, and Liguo would not have fallen into the later crisis at all. You are from Liguo, how could you do that?" What happened?"

King Suyou seemed to have heard a big joke, smiled coldly, glanced at Feng Chen, and said, "Are you accusing me? Don't forget, there is a real subjugated slave standing beside you , a traitor."

The author has something to say:

Most of the Chinese palaces follow the rule of sleeping in the front and sleeping in the back. The real Chinese imperial palace is the place where the emperor rests and changes clothes after retreating.
