A Clash of Gods - Chapter 194
[Chapter 193 Little Eunuch]
Yang Ning has never entered the palace, but he has seen a lot in the media in his previous life.
But after entering the imperial city with Eunuch Fan, I discovered that there are some things that only I can see with my own eyes, and I can feel its momentum when I put it in it. There is no doubt that this city within a city is indeed the brightest pearl of the Great Chu Empire. .
Looking around, the halls are numerous and brilliant, with glazed and yellow tiles scorching the eyes under the sun, and it is difficult to see the whole picture of the many halls. Countless.
The roads in the imperial city are extremely smooth, and the roads are extremely wide. According to Yang Ning’s visual observation, the widest road is more than ten meters wide, and the smallest is several meters wide. The palace complex is prone to the south of the center of the capital.
The Imperial City of Great Chu is divided into three major architectural groups: the main palace, the east palace and the west palace according to the building groups.
The main palace is divided into three building groups: the outer court, the inner court, and the apse. These three building groups form a straight line and live in the center of the palace.
In the middle of the outer court is the magnificent Fengtian Hall, which is where the emperor called the meeting of the officials. The Hall of Houde is surrounded by guards around the Chengtian Hall. The three halls are magnificent and amazing.
Passing through the palace of the outer court is the inner court. The Qinghe Hall is in the middle, and the Wude and Wende halls are on the left and right. The Qinghe Hall is usually where the emperor gives banquets, while the Wende Hall is where the emperor handles government affairs after he retreats from the dynasty. The place where the emperor usually summoned important ministers to discuss matters was called the emperor’s imperial palace.
The Harem is dominated by the Fengyi Hall, which is the residence of the Queen. The other halls of the Harem are surrounded by the Fengyi Hall, and the stars are like the moon, which also shows the honor of the Queen of the main palace.
The east and west palaces are separated from left to right. There are hundreds of large and small palaces in the imperial city. Each palace has hundreds to dozens of rooms according to its size. Many palaces have special small gardens.
However, near the East Palace, there is a huge royal garden, which is full of exotic flowers, plants and animals, among which there are countless pavilions, terraces, pavilions, rockeries, and Champs.
The arrangement of bricks, tiles, flowers, grass, stone and wood in the imperial city is absolutely standardized, and it is a collection of carpenters, plasterers, masons, lacquers, ashes, sculptors, stackers, painters, etc. The wisdom and hard work of all craftsmen show the ingenuity of human beings, which contains the profound culture accumulated in the Central Plains, which is broad and profound.
All the palaces are mainly made of wood, with yellow glazed tile roofs, blue and white stone bases, decorated with splendid paintings and intricate sculptures.
Yang Ning followed Eunuch Fan into the palace, looking at the splendid palace along the way. Every other road, there would be majestic and unsmiling royal warriors. Like sculptures, they seemed to be part of the complex.
Yang Ning knew that these guards were all warriors from the Royal Yulin Camp, and their duty was to guard the palace.
At the beginning, Yang Ning felt that it was novel. After walking for a long time, passing through the palace towers, it seemed that there was no end to it, but this made Yang Ning’s interest greatly diminished. After walking for a long time, isn’t it very troublesome every time the emperor summons?
The most hateful thing is that, in order to seize the time to enter the palace, Yang Ning left at the time of the meal, and it was too late to eat. Although it was not a big deal for Yang Ning to be hungry for a few meals, the delay in arriving still made Yang Ning feel a little bit. The excitement gradually subsided.
“Master Hou, this is your first time entering the palace. The first two generations of Jinyi Hou have walked this road countless times.” Eunuch Fan saw that Yang Ning seemed a little anxious, and said with a smile, “The miscellaneous family led General Qi through this road. There are countless times on this road, and from now on, Lord Hou will also walk on this road countless times.”
Yang Ning smiled and walked for a while. After passing through a moon gate, he saw a vermilion room on the left. Eunuch Fan led Yang Ning to the door and said, “Master Hou, you should rest here first, the miscellaneous family. Go to the emperor, if the emperor is free,
will call you over.
”
Yang Ning wondered if the new emperor was not free yet?
If there is no free time, what do you call Laozi to enter the palace for?
But he still smiled and said, “There is Eunuch Lao.”
After Eunuch Fan left, Yang Ning took a look around and found a little eunuch standing outside the door, hunched over. When Yang Ning reached the door, the little eunuch respectfully said, “Master Hou, please wait!”
Yang Ning pretended to have a steady “um” and entered the house, and found that the house was also luxurious and extravagant. After scanning it around, he found that it seemed to be a study room with two large bookshelves, which were filled with various bookshelves. The bookshelves are made of mahogany, which is very expensive. There is also a golden desk covered with yellow silk. On the desk are pen, ink, paper, inkstone and some books neatly placed.
In front of the desk, there were two golden silk nanmu chairs on the left and right, the room was quiet, Yang Ning walked around, he wanted to pick out a few books to read to pass the time, but Gu Qinghan had explained in advance that in this palace, there is no more Elsewhere, even if you cough, you have to be careful. After hesitating for a while, after all, it is not good to move things at will, and you just sit down on a golden nanmu chair.
Soon, the little eunuch came in and served tea. Yang Ning took the tea and asked, “How long will it take for the emperor to summon me?”
The little eunuch was short and respectfully said, “The servants don’t know the words of Lord Hou back!”
Yang Ning frowned and said, “Is the emperor busy now?”
“The slave doesn’t know!”
Yang Ning was helpless, waved his hand, and the little eunuch retreated.
Yang Ning finished drinking a cup of tea, but no one came over. He was a little irritated. He got up and walked to the desk. Suddenly, he saw that there were two delicate small dishes on the table. There were also a few small snacks in the dishes. He was in Hou The government has also seen a lot of dim sum, but some of the dim sum in this small dish have never been seen before.
Yang Ning didn’t eat at noon, so he was already a little hungry. At this time, when he saw the beautifully styled dim sum and the fragrance of the dim sum, he wanted to reach out and grab a handful, but after thinking about it, he held back.
Time passed, and it took more than an hour to wait.
Yang Ning was originally a very patient person, but today the emperor specially sent the eunuch, the chief eunuch, to call him into the palace. It stands to reason that after entering the palace, even if you wait for a while, it is impossible to delay for more than an hour.
He was a little impatient, if it was somewhere else, he would have turned around and left.
Sitting on the chair and closing his eyes, Yang Ning couldn’t hold back any longer and called out, “Someone!”
Soon he heard footsteps coming from behind, but Yang Ning didn’t look back and asked, “I said what the hell is the emperor doing? Can you help me take a look?”
There seemed to be a person standing behind him, but there was no sound. Yang Ning turned his head and glanced, only to see the little eunuch bowing his head and frowning: “You didn’t hear what I said? Forget it, it is estimated that you have a very low status in the palace. I can’t see the emperor either, so let’s go, do you have anything to eat, I’m going to get some food, I’m hungry!”
“Wait for the emperor, you can’t eat.” The little eunuch’s voice was very low.
Yang Ning was a little annoyed and couldn’t help but say, “Don’t you care if you starve to death?”
“If you don’t eat for three days, you may not be able to starve to death.” The little eunuch said softly, “Master Hou, please bear with it.”
Yang Ning suddenly stood up and looked at the little eunuch, “What did you say? Do you still want to starve me for three days?”
“I can’t say for sure.” The little eunuch still lowered his head, “The emperor has no will, so the Marquis can only wait here until the emperor summons him. The emperor is gone, we can’t ask, and we can’t let the marquis leave. If the emperor doesn’t think about it for three days, Lord Hou will wait for three days.”
Yang Ning was furious, “That means, the emperor can’t remember me for a year, so I’m just rotten here?”
“That won’t happen.” The little eunuch said, “The Marquis can’t last for a year. Maybe he will starve to death in three or five days. If he really dies, someone will carry it out of the palace, and it won’t rot here.”
Yang Ning was furious at first, but calmed down instantly.
In an instant, he thought that if he was just a little eunuch, how could he have the guts to talk to him like a joke, he was also a marquis, he couldn’t compare to the emperor, but his status was much higher than that of the little eunuch.
He suddenly discovered that this little eunuch seemed to have a different body shape from the little eunuch just now, and was a little stronger, and that the little eunuch who had asked three questions before, this little eunuch was very good, dared to say anything, frowned, and said coldly: ” You look up!”
The little eunuch said: “Don’t dare!”
“If I tell you to look up, just raise your head, stop talking nonsense.” Yang Ning said coldly, “Do you believe that I will find Eunuch Fan and drive you out of the palace? I have a good relationship with Eunuch Fan, you are Eunuch Fan’s subordinate, right? ?”
The little eunuch seemed to think for a moment, and suddenly asked, “Do you really want me to look up?”
“nonsense.”
“But you may not dare to look at me.” The little eunuch sighed and finally raised his head. Yang Ning glanced at it and found that he was very familiar. The body was shocked, and the voice was lost: “Yes…is it you?”
The little eunuch in front of him turned out to be Xiao Guang.
After Yang Ning parted ways with Xiao Guang at the broken temple, he had never seen him there. He didn’t even have any news. He was only short of money and thought that Xiao Guang owed him five hundred taels of gold.
But I don’t even know the whereabouts of others, the five hundred taels of gold can only be the moon in the mirror, dreaming.
But he never imagined that when he entered the palace today, he would meet Xiao Guang, and Xiao Guang was actually a little eunuch in the palace.
But as soon as he said it, he knew something was wrong.
Now that he is the Prince of Jinyi, if he knows Xiao Guang, doesn’t he prove that he is the little beggar who shared misery with Xiao Guang back then?
This Xiao Guang is the little eunuch in the palace. Once his true identity is revealed, his head will not be able to be preserved.

Xiao Guang’s eyes were bright, and he showed a smile, and asked, “Master Hou knows me?”
Yang Ning’s thoughts turned, he coughed, shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”
“I don’t know who the ‘you’ that Hou Ye said was?” Xiao Guang asked with a smile.
Yang Ning tried his best to calm himself down, turned around and sat down in the chair, without looking at Xiao Guang, pretending to be calm: “I have seen someone before, who looks a bit like you, I am mistaken.”
Xiao Guang was unwilling, turned to Yang Ning, and said with a smile, “Lord Hou, take a closer look, don’t get confused, I may be the person you know.”
Yang Ning sank his face and said, “If you don’t know it, you don’t know it. Hey, you go out first, I’ll wait for the emperor to summon you.”
Xiao Guang sighed: “Master Hou is waiting for the emperor to summon him, but if the emperor knows that you are a fake, I wonder if he will still summon you?” He smiled and said, “I am afraid that he will also be summoned, so let me ask you how this fake is pretending to be. The Prince of Jinyi then inherited the Marquis of Jinyi, and then he stabbed…!” He raised his hand and wiped his neck, “Crack!”
