Alien Arms Empire

  Chapter 837 837 Maybe we can find an old friend

The Forbidden City renovated by Tang Mo is actually somewhat different from the real Forbidden City. A large amount of glass is used here, and modern designs such as floor-to-ceiling windows are also used in some gardens.

Anyway, Tang Mo has a lot of glass at his disposal, and he can open a skylight above his head without restraint to enjoy the starry sky at night.

 Although the Forbidden City as a whole still has Chinese style with its red walls and green tiles, its interior design is still more modern.

 After all, Tang Mo would not cause any trouble for himself. He pursued the ultimate restoration but forgot the practical function of the palace itself.

Do you think a future-oriented palace can be built without a parking lot and underground parking garage? Of course there must be one, and there must be air-raid shelters and landing pads for helicopters.

 The interior decoration has also been differentiated to a certain extent according to Tang Mo’s plan. All rooms have reserved lines that need to be used in the future, and some buildings also have secret designs such as secret passages.

And in pursuit of novelty, there are many buildings with a height of more than three floors throughout the Forbidden City, which give the new Forbidden City a more three-dimensional feel.

  Unlike the Chinese emperors who pursued "down to earth", Tang Mo, who lives in the new century, is not averse to high-rise buildings. These new high-rise buildings added to the Forbidden City also play a certain shielding role, blocking views from all directions.

The original Hall of Supreme Harmony was a place used for major national ceremonial activities. It was basically a lobby where the monthly court meetings were held. To put it bluntly, it is an auditorium and conference room used for major meetings, as well as for some ceremonial purposes.

Zhonghe Hall is a conference room and reception room that is used in real daily life. His Majesty the Emperor receives courtiers, issues tasks, and holds emergency meetings here. You can also serve as a guest restaurant here, and the emperor can also set a dining venue here for banquets with ministers and guests.

The role of the Hall of Preservation and Harmony was modified and became a true exclusive office for the emperor, as well as a place where important ministers could be summoned at any time (on the premise that they were unwilling to go to the Hall of Zhonghe). There is also Tang Mo's drawing room and library here, which is one of the most heavily guarded and important buildings in the Tang Dynasty.

Further behind is the inner court, which is the palace of His Majesty the Emperor Tang Mo. Different from the real Qianqing Palace, this is a two-story large villa, very luxurious.

The entire Wuying Hall is similar to the Pentagon in the United States. It is the military command center of the Tang Dynasty. The imperial staff is also here. Whenever there is a major war in the country, Tang Mo will move his office here.

The Wenhua Palace is where the imperial interior department and the financial department are located. National political and financial expenditures, water power construction, and the headquarters of various departments are located here. Because there are more functions, the entire Wenhua Hall is larger than the Wuying Hall, occupying the original living area of ​​the prince (South Third Hall) in the Forbidden City.

The original Cining Garden Linxi Pavilion between Wuying Hall and Cining Palace has been turned into a royal garage and a dedicated helicopter airport in the Forbidden City, and its functions have also changed.

Cining Gate, Longzong Gate, Jingyun Gate, and Huangji Gate are all the real private residences of the royal family. No one can enter, but the palace ban in the Tang Dynasty is not particularly strict. After all, Tang Mo’s three A royal concubine has a position.

One of them works in the Ministry of Finance, one works in the Ministry of Interior, and one works in the Ministry of Culture. Neither of them is a woman who can live in the palace.

Tang Mo didn't have many children, so there were only three palaces in the entire backyard for the three imperial concubines to live in. Since the children were not very old yet, they all lived with their mother, and they didn't even have their own palace to use. .

Tang Mo now regards Yangxin Palace as a large library for stacking books and drawings. Seeing that there are more and more books and drawings, Cining Palace is about to be used by Tang Mo to store his books and messy drawings and documents.

In fact, Tang Mo does plan to have a supercomputer and corresponding servers in his palace in the future to provide computing services to the royal family. If he wants to play a game or something, the frame rate must be higher and more stable than others, right?

Tang Mo has no intention of using Ningshou Palace for other purposes. According to his idea, a retirement system for the royal family should be established. Ningshou Palace is where the emperor will retire.

No matter how unfilial the descendants are, this place must be preserved: once the emperor retires to Ningshou Palace, he is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the government, and the outer court is not allowed to harass the retired former emperor. This rule has been set, and all emperors must abide by it. .

The Fengxian Hall next to Ningshou Palace cannot be moved even more: this is the place where descendants and descendants worship their ancestors. After struggling for a lifetime, why should I get a tablet for myself? It would be really pitiful if it didn't have any of this.

In addition to himself, the side hall here also has to offer sacrifices to some famous officials who contributed to the Tang Empire, which is basically the meaning of Lingyan Pavilion.

Anyway, Tang Mo is already ready for "Tang Empire Forever". If you are not convinced, give it a try!

The entire four corner towers of the Forbidden City have also reserved space. In the future, 1130 may be installed to give yourself peace of mind. The Great Merciful and Compassionate Gatling Bodhisattva who maintains four town houses has a breath of 3,600 times. He eats well, sleeps soundly, and dreams safely...

Today, Tang Mo was too lazy to go to Zhonghe Hall to summon the ministers. Instead, he met Li Ao directly in the office of Baohe Hall, who came to report the news. This brand new office has just been put into use two days ago, and the preliminary construction of the entire Forbidden City has finally been completed.

“Your Majesty’s taste is really shocking to me.” After entering the door, Leo gave Tang Mo a small pat on the butt.

"Soon, this kind of design will be spread, and then everyone will rush to imitate it... If there are too many, it will be tacky." Tang Mo laughed at himself. Now there are many so-called designs that imitate Tang Huang, and they are all plagiarism. way.

“Your Majesty only needs to issue an order stating that if other people copy the styles used by the royal family, it will be a transgression. Those who deserve to be caught will be caught and punished, and this phenomenon can be put to an end." Leo gave Tang Mo an idea.

Of course Tang Mo knew this method, but what he thought more about was the development of the entire nation and country: How can we see the future when there is a wall in front of everyone?

This is not to say that Tang Mo is lofty, but that he is afraid that his descendants will be blinded by this wall, unable to move forward, and eventually become another Cyric.

 “It is a dangerous idea not to let people pursue better things.” Therefore, Tang Mo rejected such a suggestion.

Leo Ao didn't mind showing his stupidity in front of Tang Mo. He preferred to use his stupidity to set off the wisdom of His Majesty the Emperor.

 So, he immediately complimented: "Your Majesty is wise, but I still didn't think of the long term."

"You are not stupid, you are cunning!" Tang Mo smiled and pointed out Leo's little trick, and then ordered: "Let's talk about it."

Leo leaned forward slightly and reported the report: "Yesterday, in Linshui, the Intelligence Department's Operations Section 1 carried out an arrest mission. It targeted two businessmen who had been trying to control the price of food in Linshui... Over there at the Economic Intelligence Section The abnormal data provided shows that they probably used means to push up the price and earned about 120,000 gold coins.”

“Their methods were very professional and their actions were very covert. By the time the people from the Economic Intelligence Section discovered the problem, they had already retreated.” After Leo finished speaking, he paused, giving Tang Mo time to speak.

Tang Mo thought for a few seconds and looked at Leo: "It's very new...The intelligence agencies of various countries generally only collect data and intelligence, and will not risk exposure..."

"Your Majesty is wise! From these strange places, we also inferred that these people should not be sent by the intelligence agencies of various countries. They are likely to take orders from other people." Leo immediately added.

 “Tell me what you think!” Tang Mo ordered.

Leo spoke again: "If they were just pure speculators, they wouldn't have done it so covertly. They were very organized, and before the people from the Operations Division took action, they used very professional escape techniques to escape."

"Interesting!" Tang Mo nodded - he knew very well that if it was just pure businessman speculation, it would be impossible to bypass the Tang State's intelligence department, let alone easily escape from the hands of the Tang State's intelligence department.

"Obviously, these people have been trained in counter-reconnaissance and are very vigilant at the same time." Leo said: "Our opponents are a little too cautious, and this caution gives us a hint of their scent."

"Now that we know their existence, let's continue to investigate... If we don't follow the clues, wouldn't we be disappointed with the efforts of our opponents?" Tang Mo showed a smile: "Interesting! It's really interesting."

"It seems... these people have finally realized that it is impossible to get the victory they want from me on the frontal battlefield. They are changing their minds and preparing to play some tricks secretly." Tang Mo thought for a while. , expressed his judgment.

“I have disappointed your majesty...I actually made the enemy think that it would be easier to break through from me.” Leo laughed at himself in embarrassment.

Tang Mo pressed it with his hand and comforted the old man Li Ao: "You have done a good job, but our opponents can't get any benefits elsewhere, so they have moved their ideas to the place where you are responsible. It doesn't matter, you just accompany me." They have fun...stretching their muscles and bones so that they can live a long life..."

"Old minister... thank you, Your Majesty." Leo could naturally hear Tang Mo's comfort and encouragement, especially the words "long live a hundred years", which made the corners of his eyes sore: "Old minister, I will do my best to catch all those **** people. , leave no one behind!”

"Go!" Tang Mo thought of a distant name, so he joked: "Maybe we can finally find an old friend with red hair."
