The entire Forbidden City was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, which diluted the rare joy of the New Year. Yi? and others dismounted from outside the Meridian Gate. Without having time to wait for the eunuchs to adjust the sedan, they lifted their legs and trotted away towards the harem.
Passing through the Meridian Gate, passing through the Zhengdu Gate on the west side of the Gate of Supreme Harmony, and trotting from the west side of the Palace of Supreme Harmony Square, I saw the imperial guards, eunuchs, and officials walking around all stunned.
Pass through the middle right door and go to the back right door. Is this Yi? He and Yi Xuan practice martial arts on weekdays to break their bodies. They are also exhausted and sweating. The cold wind in the east is blowing, and their whole bodies are wet and sticky.
After the back right gate is the Tianye Street that separates the outer court and the inner court. Facing the back right gate is the Military Aircraft Department established by Lord Yongzheng. At this time, countless military aircraft department Zhang Jing was standing at the door and looking out. Silence is as cold as a cold.
The country has been in the dynasty for more than two hundred years, and has encountered all kinds of obstacles. It fought against Lao Maozi in the north, fought against Jungar in the northwest, went on an expedition to Qinghai-Tibet, and put down the Changmao rebellion in the south... It is said that the Ryukyu cessation of vassalage event, It is not that the court is so confused, but this time it is different. The emperor is by Xiao Letian's side. How good is this!
Just after passing the back right door, before Yi and others ran to the door of the Military Aircraft Department, they saw a group of eunuchs with brilliant feathers rushing out of the inner right door leading to the harem on the east side of the Military Aircraft Department. The leader was none other than an outsider. Li Lianying, the eunuch next to Cixi, and Zhou Daoying, the eunuch next to Ci'an, also followed.
"Oh my ancestors... You are here, my two princes. If you don't come here, the Yangxin Palace will collapse. The two Queen Mothers almost made that rebellious man lose his temper. How can this be so good? oh……"
Li Lianying rushed up and cried with tears in her eyes. Yi? asked, "What's going on? Why did the two eunuchs come out in person?" A closer look at Li Lianying's mouth showed a red palm print. It looked like it had just been Not served well.
Next to him, Yi Xuan secretly took out two pieces of paper from his sleeves. Just looking up, Li Lianying and Zhou Daoying knew that they were Lotte Bank cashier's checks for three thousand yuan. .
Yixuan quietly stuffed the promissory notes into the sleeves of the two eunuchs. "What did the two old Buddhas say? Did you pass down the decree?"
Zhou Daoying sighed, "Don't ask, my claws are numb. Just now, the Queen Mother even wanted the Xishan Camp to rescue the Emperor immediately. Thanks to Mr. Weng, he arrived early and persuaded her..."
The group of people were talking and walking. When they got close to the military aircraft, Yi? stopped and shouted coldly, "What are you looking at outside? How can a broken island in the East China Sea turn the world upside down? Someone... give these names to those who are just looking at the excitement. Write them all down for me, and I’ll see who has such a leisurely mind!”
With one sentence, a group of people dispersed like flies. They all got into the dilapidated house in the military aircraft department.
Yi? turned to his subordinates and said, "Go down and inform the Ministry of Rites that all ceremonies will be carried out as usual. The fee can be increased by 20% according to the rules. If there is not enough money, let them go to the Prime Minister's Yamen to collect it... At this time, stabilizing people's hearts is the most important!"
"Tell the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send me a copy of the bank deposit details immediately. If the capital's public sentiment changes, it may affect prices. We have to be careful!"
This is how people's hearts are. No matter how powerful women are on weekdays, when faced with a chaotic situation where the sky is falling and the earth is falling, people still have to listen to men subconsciously. At this time, Prince Gong of the big family of the Qing Dynasty stood up, let alone , those eunuchs suddenly felt less panicked.
"Hey! I'll take care of it right now..." The two eunuchs and two guards took the order and left quickly.
After passing the inner right gate, you enter the so-called harem world. Generally speaking, the territory behind the Qianqing Gate belongs to the inner palace. It is generally difficult for foreign ministers to set foot in it. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, most of the emperor's decrees were given at the Qianqing Gate. It was conveyed on Tianjie Street that the ministers knelt here to receive the emperor's decree, and even ordinary people could not enter the Qianqing Palace behind.
In the Qing Dynasty, the rules were relaxed a little. Especially in the Yongzheng Dynasty, it was clear that the emperor who ascended the throne should live in the Qianqing Palace. However, Yongzheng didn't like that big palace and moved his residence and office to the west. Heart Palace.
Not only that, Emperor Yongzheng also converted a row of small bungalows on the Tianjie Street closest to the Yangxin Hall into a military aircraft office. The office location of the core officials of the empire was also moved from the Cabinet Hall next to the Meridian Gate to the Forbidden City. There is only a wall between the heart and the harem.
According to the etiquette system of the Ming Dynasty, how could the palace in the harem allow unrelated men from outside to enter? This means that the Manchus did not pay much attention to the etiquette of the Han people. This situation would not have happened in the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, the Manchus thought they had preserved the Confucian etiquette tradition. In fact, in the eyes of the real Han Confucians, they would always be barbarians, but no one dared to say it to their faces.
For example, Weng Zhongtang, who was standing in the East Nuan Pavilion of Yangxin Hall, lowered his head and said nothing, lowered his gaze forty-five degrees, and just focused his eyes on the empty emperor's throne. From this angle, he could see the bed behind the emperor's throne and the two women on the bed with his peripheral vision.
It was a chaos, it was really a chaos. The yellow curtain hanging down the curtain to listen to the government was in a hurry and was not lowered. This was so against etiquette. However, the scene of Li Lianying being beaten just now was still vivid in his mind. Weng Tonghe would not be so stupid to remind him. .
He sighed in his heart, "The rules have been changed too many times, and this time is no different. Just treat me as a blind man! Don't see anything inappropriate, and don't say anything inappropriate!"
Soon there were footsteps, and two powerful princes rushed in from outside, their foreheads covered with sweat.
Seeing the nervous look of the two uncles, the sister-in-law could no longer keep a bad face. Cixi quickly said, "Are you all dead people without opening your eyes? The sweat on your two princes' heads is because they came from the Meridian Gate." Yes? Why don’t you prepare horses and sedan chairs?”
Li Lianying and others were so frightened that they quickly knelt down on the ground and did not dare to tell, or Yi? He waved his hand, "Don't blame them, I was too anxious and didn't wait for the sedan to come... Forget it, let's discuss serious matters quickly. Where is the telegram? Show me..."
There were a group of men in the room. Weng Tonghe, who did not want to see any evil, finally said, "Two princes, the telegram is here! In addition, I propose to send a message to Yang Zhi to come too. After all, he has been with Xiao Letian, and he should still be able to deal with Ryukyu." To put forward some opinions..."
"Let's do it... let's do it. Old man, you are right. Send someone quickly to pick up Yang Zhi!"
Ci'an was silent for a long time and finally said, "When it comes to important events, you need to be calm. Please give me a seat first! This old man has been standing for a long time..." Everyone quickly handed over their hands to express gratitude and then sat down one after another.
But it was also strange that no one noticed anything unusual about the apricot-yellow curtain in the end, and it was left wide open even though it should have been put down.
If Xiao Letian were to know what happened today, he would definitely be in tears, and maybe even feel a trace of nostalgia for his previous life.
