It was probably not repaired for too long, so looking at the exterior wall, this other palace of the Luosha Royal Family is really not very good, and it even has a bit of a level.

Once you enter, you will be a different world.

"Golden and brilliant" is not enough to describe it!

Not to mention anything else, there are domes made of colorful glazed tiles on each aisle, and both sides of the corridor are hand-painted murals.

Although Bai Zhizhan doesn't understand art very well and can't appreciate it, he uses gilded paint to paint murals.

It's simply dazzling!

This is the case with a different palace for women to take care of their skin, and the imperial palace and the winter palace are so great!

Along the way, Bai Zhizhan opened his eyes.

From the luxury of this other palace, we can fully see how luxurious the Luosha royal family was. No wonder it was destroyed in the last war.

Although I have never been to the imperial palace, Bai Zhizhan has read related reports.

The imperial palace is also very luxurious, but it is far from comparable to Luosha. At most, it is just luxury. There is not much extravagance or waste that has nothing to do with demonstrating the majesty of the royal family.

To be fair, in terms of self-discipline, the imperial royal family can be said to be very strict. Not only did they insist on letting royal members join the army and go to the front line to fight during the war, even in daily life, they were relatively self-disciplined, at least they would not deliberately pursue enjoyment.

Take Li Qing as an example, he didn't make it special just because he was a eldest prince.

In addition, after the constitutional reform, the imperial royal family became even more low-key.

In addition to renting out royal real estate and earning a significant annual rent, the annual expenditure of the imperial royal family was controlled within one thousandth of the fiscal revenue that year.

This is a rule set by Emperor Shiwu and it was written into the law.

In terms of the overall strength of the country, the Liangxia Empire far surpassed the Luosha Empire. The royal family of the Liangxia Empire could still be self-disciplined, but the Luosha royal family was so extravagant.

Although he had never participated in the ground war and had never been to the Western Front, through Lian Xusheng and Bai Zhizhan had some understanding of the situation on the ground battlefield.

When the war was about to end, many Luosha soldiers would kill each other for a steamed bun.

The soldiers fighting bloody battles on the front line were hungry, while the royals in the rear were all enjoying themselves and even wasting themselves.

The key is that a lot of the royal family's expenses are misappropriated from military expenses!

In the last year of the war, Emperor Luo Sha held a birthday party for the queen and used 10 million troys. In the same year, hundreds of thousands of Luo Sha officers and soldiers were frostbite because they did not receive winter clothes. Many of them were frozen to death. Even if they were not frozen to death, they had to amputate their limbs due to lack of medical treatment.

If there is no mutiny, that would be a strange thing.

Bai Zhizhan was also very moved.

With comparison, it is not difficult to understand one thing.

To promote constitutional reform, the first chief minister in the empire who held real power. The Ming Zhenggong, Shengxian, was the number one great man in the empire after Emperor Shiwu!

Without the constitutional reform promoted by the Tang Shengxian and the constraints on the royal family established from this, there would never be the current empire!

If we are in terms of contribution, the significance of constitutional reform will never be under the creation of an empire.

As the saying goes: It is easy to conquer the country, but it is difficult to defend the country.

Emperor Shiwu conquered the country and created the foundation of the empire for thousands of years.

The constitutional reform promoted by the Tang Dynasty was the beginning of the prosperity and strength of the empire, or it cleared the biggest obstacle for the prosperity and strength of the empire.

It is precisely because the Tang sages were ranked first among the eight pillars of the empire, and it is not surprising that the Tang family was prominent in all dynasties.

This also reflects from one aspect that Emperor Shiwu is indeed the emperor of the ages.

Emperor Shiwu not only appointed Tang Shengxian as the chief minister in his later years, but also authorized Tang Shengxian to carry out constitutional reforms a hundred years later.

Without Emperor Shiwu, where would the sages of Tang come from?

After visiting along the way, Bai Zhizhan also noticed that Li Qing had no interest in the exquisite murals, and it seemed that the things in front of him had long been commonplace.

He must be the eldest prince of the empire.

Growing up in the palace, you will naturally not catch a cold.

What surprised Bai Zhi's strategic sense was that Zhang Xiaoqing was similar to Li Qin, and he also had a boring expression.

Is she commonplace too?

If so, the Zhang family is really rich and generous.

What made Bai Zhizhan even more puzzled was that Li Qing respected Zhang Xiaoqing very much and whispered to Zhang Xiaoqing from time to time along the way.

They must know each other.

Zhang Xiaoqing is Fang Suqing's cousin. Even if she cannot be related to the current emperor, according to the people's seniority, she is the elder of the current eldest prince.

If the seniority is here, the royal family must recognize it.

It took me more than ten minutes to walk to the destination of this trip.

The East Courtyard of the Palace.

The meeting location is arranged in another palace, and all three negotiators live here so that meetings can be held immediately when needed.

According to the location, the negotiators of the Liangxia Empire lived in the East Courtyard.

The middle main courtyard was hosted by negotiators from Luosha Federation, and the Tyman Empire's negotiators lived in the West Courtyard.

This arrangement is also to separate the Liangxia Empire from the personnel of the Tiaoman Empire.

From the east courtyard to the west courtyard, if you want to bypass the main courtyard, you will take at least half an hour to walk. It is now winter, and the cave has an inland climate. Even during the day, the temperature is only minus 20 degrees Celsius, and at night it will be below minus 35 degrees Celsius, and no one can survive outdoors.

It's different indoors.

Each room has a fireplace and heating. There is a hot spring bathhouse that can accommodate dozens of people on the east courtyard, and some rooms also have a bathtub.

Because I stayed twice in the middle and mainly refueled the plane, it was already early in the morning when I arrived.

Considering that everyone was struggling to get on a journey, the receptionist did not make any special arrangements, but just reminded me that the whole banquet was scheduled to be held in the evening.

Because he was the representative of the Navy, he was assigned to Bai Zhizhan a high-end suite.

After sleeping all the way, Bai Zhizhan became less tired.

After taking a hot spring bath, he originally planned to take a nap, but found that he couldn't sleep after lying down, and became more and more energetic.

It was noon and I felt that I was about to have lunch, so Bai Zhizhan came out of the room.

The kitchen and restaurant in the East Courtyard are provided to the Empire delegation, but the accompanying chefs are still preparing ingredients, so they cannot serve lunch.

The key is that most of the ingredients are shipped by railway several days in advance, but have not been delivered until now.

It would be fine if Bai Zhizhan and others were just there, but with the eldest prince, it would not be too casual. What's more, there would definitely be banquets for negotiators from other countries during the negotiations.

No matter how frugal and low-key the imperial family is, they cannot lose face in international occasions.

Fortunately, the restaurant in the main courtyard is open to all negotiators and various catering services are also provided for free.

The organizer also arranged more than a dozen vehicles for negotiators to use.

As for the ID, there is no need to do so, just scan your face.

According to Bai Zhizhan, the service staff at the meeting were all agents of Luosha's federal intelligence agency, and they had already obtained information from all participants.

For key personnel, one-on-one inspections are still needed.

Not for surveillance, but for security.

This is a royal diplomatic activity. Not to mention a member of the royal family, even if you are just an ordinary negotiator, you must not make any mistakes.

The driver who drove Bai Zhizhan to the main yard might be responsible for watching him, because when he came out, the guy came up enthusiastically.

However, this is also normal.

If the negotiations were held in the empire, the Five Bureau of the Imperial Guards would make similar arrangements.
Chapter completed!
