Time and Space Auditor

Chapter 12 Inexplicably entered the palace

"My lord, please follow me!" the attendant Li Bing said with a smile.

"Can you not go?" Kara was struggling for the last time.

Li Bing replied with a smile: "What do you think?" The subtext is: Guoshi, you are a smart person, you must know that you can't refuse.

Kara pretended not to understand, and said cheekily: "I think the kennel at Xie Lu's house is better!"

After all, Li Bing is a person who often lives in the palace, and the thickness of his face is quite objective. He still said with a smile: "Your Majesty knows that the national teacher is a person who doesn't care about trivial matters, and he can live wherever he wants. But you are appointed by His Majesty after all. The place is detrimental to face. So just now His Majesty ordered people to go over and demolish that place!"

【What!dismantle!Depend on!Don't be so barbaric!Ah ah ah ah ah!No, people have arrived!Don't tear it down yet!Don't tear it down yet! 】 Xie Lu howled.

The blond youth held his forehead: "You lead the way!"

The west area of ​​the palace is obviously not as clean and tidy as the central and eastern areas, and it is even a bit dilapidated. The outer walls of the randomly distributed small palaces are basically mottled, the eaves are covered with dead grass, and there are not even a few palace people who clean it.

Kara was very strange. He had been to many countries and dynasties, and he had never seen such a dilapidated place where the emperor lived.

Fortunately, Xie Lu explained in time: [This is all caused by militarism. The Northern Zhou Dynasty has always had the ambition to dominate the world. The people who have been fighting for years have been living in poverty. There is no need to fix it.I just can't figure it out, isn't domination of the world just to enjoy the glory and wealth?You can enjoy fewer battles and save more money, so why tighten your belt to fight? 】

[Maybe someone has lofty aspirations? ] Carla asked.

[Gao Yuan's size!Really lofty is the careful planning from generation to generation to finally unify the world, instead of going up to fight a few games like the current monarch, and fighting even if he guarantees to lose! 】 Xie Lu despises.

[Then maybe people are prepared for danger in times of peace? ] Carla asked.

【hair!Dongyue and Xiluo didn't want to fight with Beizhou at all. Xiluo had few people, vast land, rich resources, and folk customs favored martial arts. They lived very rich just by selling iron ore.Dongyue likes to fight, but he likes to watch others fight. This country emphasizes business, and businessmen value profit. Once there is a war, there will be business opportunities, and both sides can do business. 】 Xie Lu said.

[According to what you said, it might be that Dongyue deliberately fanned the flames. ] Carla said.

[Impossible, have you ever seen a igniter set fire on himself? 】Xie Lu asked back.

[I have seen it!It's not uncommon to play off, such as World War II, the United States, and Pearl Harbor! ] Carla said.

[Then have you ever seen Huihui lighting a fire on himself? 】 Xie Lu asked.

【…】

【No way!Actually let you live here? 】Xie Lu glanced at the image and was completely dumbfounded.

Kara looked back and looked at the door. This palace is not very big, with a simple style. Compared with the previous palace, it is just cleaner and tidy. It should be a palace with a lower standard: [What's the problem? 】

[The problem is too big, this is the king's bedroom. 】

[The bedroom is so shabby? ] Kara is strange.

[No way, people are poor!Oh no!To be precise, the overall concept and layout of this palace complex is quite good, and it was definitely a miracle in its heyday.It's just that these two generations of monarchs are too poor, and can only do some simple maintenance work for the shell, and even small things such as painting are not very frequent.As for the interior, let alone, all the precious decorations have been exchanged for money, and now only some daily utensils are left. 】 Xie Lu said in one breath.

Carla rubbed her temples, which were usually sore, and sighed: [Such a monarch is really tall! 】

【Investor! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !You finally feel that something is wrong, and finally agree with my point of view! ! !Great, come on!Let's discuss it in depth!All kinds of unreasonable things about this continent! ! ! ! ] Xie Lu excited

[…] Kara frowned, and quickly turned off the bcic, no amount of unreasonable things could be more terrifying than Xie Lu's nagging.Moreover,

Xie Lu's so-called unreasonableness is mostly on the academic level, and he is not interested in such things as academics!

The Monarch’s Palace is a group of palaces, mainly composed of three palaces of different shapes, arranged in a zigzag shape. The palaces are connected by corridors, waterside pavilions, rockeries, pavilions and other buildings.

The overall sleeping palace, like most palaces in the Northern Zhou harem, has no palace name.This phenomenon is very strange. If Xie Lu was here, he would definitely be able to spit out thousands of words.But a simple summary is: the whole palace is like a large-scale knockoff, the appearance is copied, but the connotation cannot be copied.Someone must have asked, it doesn’t matter if there is no palace name when no one lives there, but if there are people living there, it’s not a mess if there’s no palace name.The solution of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is very simple. Whoever lives in it is called the palace of so-and-so.

And now this place is called the king's bedroom, why do you have to talk so much about the name of the palace?This is because the monarch's bedroom has a very special place. The three main palaces in the bedroom have palace names.They are respectively called: Xihe Hall, Wangshu Hall and Yaoguang Hall.

Xihe Hall is the front hall, which is used for meeting, banqueting and entertaining guests.In its heyday, the palace's most luxurious night banquet was also held here.Built in the artificial lake, the hall is a two-story structure. The upper floor has a corridor, where you can lean on the railing to watch the lake view; the lower floor has a water corridor, where you can enjoy the lake view along the corridor.In front of the Hall of Xihe, there is an arch bridge with a simple shape, and behind the hall, there is a winding corridor extending to the Hall of Wangshu.The arch bridge, the main hall and the cloister are integrated into one, in the shape of a dragon!This shape makes people very strange. Although the civilization of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is similar to the ancient Chinese civilization, the Northern Zhou Dynasty did not inherit the dragon totem worship of the Chinese civilization. Why is it in the shape of a dragon?

Wangshu Hall was built on the southeast bank of the lake, with half of the overall building standing on the water and half on land.Wangshu Hall has a peculiar shape, consisting of three connected palaces, which gradually decrease from east to west.The tallest palace in the east has five floors, and the top floor can be viewed, with the sunrise and sunset, the bright moon and stars in sight.

At the beginning of its completion, Wangshu Hall was mainly used as the study and collection place of the monarchs, and later some monarchs also used it to handle government affairs.The two generations of monarchs were relatively diligent, and most of the Wangshu Palace was used to handle government affairs.To the west of Wangshu Palace, there are many scattered small palaces along the lake, which were originally used for the entertainment of the monarch, and if there are favorite concubines, they can also live in them.Now it is generally used for the residence of ministers who are too late to go home.

The combination of Wangshu Palace and the small palaces along the lake looks like a phoenix looking up to the east, complementing the dragon of Xihe Palace.There was also no phoenix totem worship in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which left another question.

Compared with Xihe Hall and Wangshu Hall, Yaoguang Hall is very ordinary, and it is hidden in the garden, so you can't find it if you don't look carefully.The Yaoguang Palace is the king's real bedroom, and the details inside are not known to outsiders. No matter how detailed Xie Lu's information is, he can only stop here.

Li Bing took the blond-haired youth to the Xihe Palace. Carla didn't have much intuitive experience of this palace complex.He has seen more majestic, exquisite and luxurious palaces. The time-space wormhole in ancient China happened to be the last year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty. He went there once. It's beginning to emerge.Compared with the magnificence and artistic conception of Daming Palace, the buildings here are nothing.

The destination is a small side hall in the Hall of Xihe. It is small in size and faces north. The decoration is not particularly distinctive. It sits on the ground, and there is a low table with dishes on it.The only feature is the window edge, which has a special flavor when the warm sunlight shines in in winter.

"The national teacher must be hungry after working for half a day, let's eat first!" Li Bing said with a smile.

Kara didn't move, Li Bing smiled again: "Your Majesty is dining with the Empress Dowager, the national teacher doesn't have to wait for His Majesty."

Carla still didn't move, Li Bing thought for a while: Could it be that the dishes didn't suit my taste?After the national teacher came to the world, he only ate a bowl of noodles and a few snacks. It is difficult to judge the other party's preferences based on these alone, so he can only serve the dishes according to the taste of the public.If you don’t want to eat like this, then you can only ask: “What does the national teacher want to eat? I’ll let someone do it!”

Kara scratched her hair, it's not that she doesn't like this dish, it's just that he doesn't need to eat it so often, for the people here, the last dim sum was eaten four hours ago, and for him, it was eaten 24 minutes ago Yes, eat it now, it will be strange if you can eat it!But if he didn't eat it, it would be too disrespectful. Although the monarch has gone too far in asking him to enter the harem, there is no need to lose his temper just because of this.To put it bluntly, this is a trivial matter, completely within the controllable range.It is enough to wait until the moment of crisis to use this method of losing your temper.

Li Bing looked at the national teacher strangely, what does it mean to just scratch his head without answering?He thought about it again and again, so he had to ask a completely wrong question: "Does the national teacher want to eat noodles?"

Carla raised her forehead, and realized that Li Bing had already strayed to another level without saying a few words, so she had to find an excuse to prevaricate: "It's not that I don't want to eat, but I just think the scenery is good, let's enjoy it for a while before talking about it."

Of course Li Bing could hear the prevarication in these words, and thinking about what happened before, he couldn't explain it clearly, so he just said a few words: "This scenery is really good, the national teacher appreciates it slowly, I will retreat first. "

"Okay!" Kara was very satisfied with Li Bing's sense of humor, and after the other party completely left the side hall, she found a warm place to bask in the sun and grow calcium.

Xuan Hui heard Li Bing's reply after returning from the Queen Mother, and naturally thought that the national teacher's refusal to eat was because he was dissatisfied with what happened in the morning.He didn't intend to explain too much, so he just said to Li Bing: "Since the national teacher doesn't want to eat, let him go, you can take him around, don't go out of this palace. The hot spring is not just repaired! Take him there. Remember to let him go before entering the water. He should have something to eat, otherwise it will be bad for his health."

Li Bing went to take orders, but the dishes on the table did not move at all, and he closed his eyes and rested in the sun, with a relaxed expression.Sensing someone coming in, Kara opened her eyes.Li Bing hurriedly said: "Master National Teacher."

"Ah, it's you!" Kara smiled, "The sun is so good, I just enjoyed it and forgot to eat."

"It's really a beautiful thing to bask in the sun in the winter afternoon." Li Bing said, consciously not bringing up the topic of eating.

"Yeah!" Kara smiled approvingly.

"Another beautiful thing, I wonder if the national teacher is interested?" Li Bing asked with a smile.

Kara smiled and looked at Li Bing with great interest.Li Bing hurriedly said: "There is a very good hot spring in the palace, do you want to enjoy it?"

Not bad!I have been here for many days, and I only took a cold shower. Kara is not a person who pays attention to these things, but she still feels a little uncomfortable, so she said with a smile: "This is good! Let's go!"

"Before this, please ask the national teacher to eat a few bites of food first, soaking in the hot spring on an empty stomach is not good for your health." Li Bing said.

Cara was stunned, glanced at Li Bing, and raised her thumbs up: "Excellent, after all, you are an attendant, and you got caught in a few words."

Li Bing hurriedly clarified: "This is not my idea, but His Majesty's."

"Oh!" Carla paused, and said solemnly, "To be honest, you, the monarch, have been taught quite well, and you are regulated in all aspects, but... these alone are not enough."

"What else do you need?" Li Bing asked sincerely.

Kara looked at Li Bing with some surprise. What he said just now had already crossed the line. If others would either scold him or pretend that they didn't understand, how could they ask Li Bing as shamelessly as Li Bing.Strange!

Li Bing was still looking at Kara sincerely. After thinking about it, Kara decided not to talk about this topic. She made a few digressions, took a few bites of food and finished the matter.

Li Bing saw that the other party didn't want to say anything, so he didn't force it, and took him to the hot spring after the other party finished eating.

The hot spring is near the Yaoguang Hall. Li Bing took the blond young man through the water corridor behind the Xihe Hall to the Wangshu Hall, and then walked along the Wangshu Hall and the surrounding small palaces, introducing these palaces and palaces while walking.

Kara wrote down one by one, and had a general impression of the entire monarch's bedroom.

The hot spring is located in the southeast corner of the entire monarch's bedroom, behind Wangshu Hall and east of Yaoguang Hall, separated from the two halls by a rockery group.

The overall building of the Hot Spring Palace is relatively low, which is described by Kara: it is somewhat similar to the architectural style of Japan in the ancient earth period.There are two types of hot springs, indoor and outdoor. Li Bing asked the blond young man about his choice, and then handed him over to a lady with a calm demeanor and a lingering charm.

"National teacher, this is Su'e, the highest-ranking maid in the harem, she will arrange for the national teacher!" Li Bing said.

Kara smiled at Su'e: "Then please..." He paused, considering Su'e's age, it's not good to call her a girl, but it's definitely not okay to call her a lady.

While hesitating, Su'e smiled: "Master, just call me Su'e."

"Then trouble Su'e."

"National teacher, please!"

Kara followed Su'e's hand and entered the hot spring area. Su'e then entered, and the four maids and four attendants behind her also entered one after another.

There are many rooms in the hot spring palace, and there are also many hot spring pools. There are single, double, and multi-person pools. The largest one can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.However, because it has just been repaired, there is water in the pool, and there are no supporting facilities by the pool.

Because Kara chose an indoor room, Su'e took him to a single room. The room was not big, and it seemed very crowded when ten people squeezed in at once.Su'e consulted Kara's opinion and asked him to choose a few to keep.

This inquiry also meant to be a test. Kara looked around at the eight people. The four servants all stood with their heads bowed respectfully, while the four maids were different. Counting from left to right, the first one had a calm demeanor; the second one bowed his head and remained silent. But trying to reduce his sense of existence, it can be seen that he is timid; the third person is just the opposite, secretly looking up at him from time to time, Shui Ling's eyes are full of curiosity; the fourth person is the strangest, standing with a cold face, Sensing that Kara was looking at her, her eyes swept away, full of hostility.

Kara touched her nose, making enemies so quickly?It shouldn't be!He decisively chose the second and third maids to stay, and let the others leave.The timid and curious ones are more conducive to the information he obtains, and the calm ones are inherently troublesome. As for the hostile ones, he doesn't know them well, so he doesn't want to bother with them.
