Chapter 147 Diqiu Five City

Everyone laughed, and Bai Miao followed him into the post station. Sang Mingyu looked at the golden Diqiu obsessionly and suddenly said, "Brother Chonghua, which floor does Wu live on?"

"Oh?" Yao Chonghua looked at him strangely and said, "Wu Wu naturally lives in the Yanhuang Temple at the top of the Emperor's Hill, but now in the Emperor's Hill, Wu Xian and Ziyin preside over the daily sacrifices and usually live in the temple."

"What about Taiwu and Shaoqi?" Sang Mingyu was surprised, "Aren't they in the temple?"

Yao Chonghua shook his head and shook his head: "The little brother seems to know much about Wuqi. Taiwu and Shaoqi don't live in Diqiu."

Sang Mingyu was stunned: "Isn't it in Diqiu? So where are they?"

"Fengju Yumen." Yao Chonghua said, "The Taiwu and Shaoqi families of all dynasties have lived in Fengju Yumen. Only when there is a major sacrifice, they will come to Diqiu."

Where is Fengju Yumen? Brother Yao?" Essan said curiously.

Yao Chonghua said, "Thirty miles west of the imperial hill, there is a big mountain. The two peaks on the mountain are forked. The left peak is called Fengju, and the right peak is called Yumen, and the Taiwu family lives. When the two peaks are combined, they are called Fengju Yumen."

Sang Mingyu took a long breath and said with a smile, "So it is. Let's go to the bar first. When they finish these five jars of wine, I guess the little devil will be reluctant to buy it again!"

When I came to the front and looked up at the imperial hill, I felt that it was magnificent and towering in the world. In fact, Diqiu is not very high, about two hundred feet, but it stands on the plain south of the Yellow River, at the end of the field of Gaoyang, as if the flat ground is surging up, trying to break through the world. At the top peak, the whole mountain is carved into the head of the Yellow Emperor, and the eyeballs and hair are extremely fine, majestically overlooking the wilderness and his people. In the head of the Yellow Emperor is the Supreme Yanhuang Temple of the Yellow Alliance.

Between the spiral five-fold wall of Diqiu, from the first to the third, there are two independent towering peaks on the edge, which are artificially carved into a defensive fortress, and the fortress is full of arrow towers and stone throwers. These arrow towers and stone throwers are condescending. No matter which direction they attack from Diqiu, they are within their range within 300 feet. Even if the first attack into the imperial hill is to go up, it must spiral up along the mountain road. Each step will be baptized by these arrow towers and stone throwers, not to say that the soldiers in the upper level can directly push down the rolling stone and smash it down.

From a tactical point of view, Diqiu can be said to be a bronze and iron city, which is as solid as gold.

After Sang Mingyu, Yao Chonghua and others entered the Diqiu urban area, they really felt the greatness of Diqiu. From the edge of Diqiu to the core, about ten miles, there were prosperous markets and crowded crowds everywhere. The buildings of the residents are made of stone, and the dome is two feet to five feet high. The streets and alleys between residential houses are vertical and horizontal, and a road in the middle is about three feet wide. The road is also paved with huge stones. It is flooded with water every day. It is extremely clean and tidy. Residents, pedestrians, vendors and patrol guards on the street come and go endlessly.

"Lord Yao, the five elements fluctuate very much here." Sang Mingyu frowned and said, "Do all the elements of the residents here have?"

"It's natural." Yao Chonghua said disapprovingly, "This is Diqiu. Although Diqiu is dominated by soil, the four mountains and twelve herdsmen include all elemental systems. Moreover, Diqiu does not prohibit people from any tribe to settle down. The mixed residence of the five elements is a major feature of Diqiu, and even there are many people in Rongdi in the north. Although the war broke out with the Sanmiao Kingdom in the south, Diqiu did not expel the people of the Sanmiao Kingdom and let them settle here and trade.

"Why is this?" Sang Mingyu was surprised and said, "Aren't you afraid that the spies and assassins of Sanmiao Kingdom will sneak in and assassinate the important ministers of the Yanhuang Alliance?"

"It's not that I'm not afraid." Gui Yan Chu laughed and said, "In fact, it has happened repeatedly. A year ago, Xia Kun, the Nanyue Jun of the Xia tribe, was also assassinated, which caused a sensation. However, with his martial arts, I'm afraid there are few people in the world that can be assassinated. It's just that the five-element hybrid residence is a custom established from the era of the Yellow Emperor. Even when the past dynasties and the Sanmiao Kingdom were at odds, this custom has not been abolished. Now Di Yao started the battle against Yao and attacked San Miao, but he did not dare to rashly abolish the rules set by the Yellow Emperor, so he had to strengthen the monitoring of the Jin people.

"Why is this?" Ai Sang asked, "Wouldn't it be better to expel the Jin system directly... at least expel the Sanmiao people?"

"Haha, Sonny, you don't understand now." It is said that Chu and Ai Rongwei, the father of Asang, have a very good relationship. Ai Rongwei died in the volcanic eruption on Kongsang Island. He is very concerned about the only youngest daughter of the Ai family and patiently said, "The rules set by the Yellow Emperor. No matter how difficult the relationship between the Emperor of Yanhuang and Sanmiao Kingdom is, no matter how tense the situation is, he dares not abolish it. How dares Di Yao abolish it? Does he want to tell the world that my emperor Yao's control over the wilderness is not as good as his predecessor? Therefore, I had to break my teeth and swallow them in my stomach.

"Oh." Only then did Aisan understand the complexity of these political initiatives.

As I was moving forward, I suddenly saw a huge log standing in the middle of the road. The top was carved into the shape of a bamboo shoot. Under the log, there were two soldiers guarding it. Sang Mingyu and others were surprised and said, "What is this cylinder?"

"The tree of slander." Yao Chonghua said lightly, "In order to observe the world and listen to the sufferings of the people, Di Yao set up a drum for admonishment in front of the imperial palace. If anyone objects to Di Yao himself or Yan Huang's governance, he can hit this drum, and Di Yao will receive it immediately at any time. In addition, a defamatory tree is set up on the traffic arteries, and special guards are sent below. If the people have any grievances and grievances, they can beat the defamation tree and tell the guard and convey it to Di Yao.

"Oh." Sang Mingyu meditated silently. When everyone walked to the defamation tree, they saw that there were still six lines engraved on the huge log: sound prohibition, color prohibition, clothing prohibition, incense prohibition, taste prohibition, and room prohibition.

"What does this mean?" Asandau.

"This is the six prohibitions proposed by the Yellow Emperor." The meaning of worship appeared on Yao Chonghua's face, "The heavy one is too much. The Yellow Emperor asked officials at all levels to be simple and oppose extravagance.

At this moment, suddenly more than a dozen fast horses rushed from the distance, and the horses' hoofs stepped on the stone street, which was extremely crisp. Immediately, the knight's yellow armor, with a bow and arrow on his back, a bronze spear hung horizontally, and a long knife at his waist. The armor's shoulder and arm were wrapped in bronze, shining in the sun.

"Drink!" Xu Di shouted jealously, "Isn't this equipment too luxurious? Damn, that's bronze! Take it to inlai armor. Do they think it's stone pieces?

"This is the knight of the Diqiu Temple Legion." Yao Chonghua frowned and said, "They are usually stationed in the Imperial Palace and the Yanhuang Temple. What are they doing here?"

Sixteen temple knights came to the crowd in an instant. They grabbed the war horse and bowed on the horse first: "Do you dare to ask if you are Yao Chonghua, the young king of the Yu clan?"
