Chu Qing missed the future generations a little.
In later generations, he just went to the Forbidden City, and it was nothing more than buying a ticket and queuing up.
But now, like the Thirteen-Fragrant Crayfish, he had to go through more than ten "processes" before he could enter the palace.
Outside the palace, the guards first looked at the tooth tags, entered the palace, searched themselves, walked three hundred meters, took off their clothes, put on an undershirt, and were touched all over by two eunuchs. After going up to Wangde Bridge, the eunuchs took the bamboo slips to register, and then Go inside and continue the search.
After finally arriving at Taowu Hall, another group of guards came to see if there were any calluses on his hands and whether he was a martial arts practitioner. They then touched the muscles on his body and did some things that seemed very scientific but were actually meaningless. inspection.
This is just to go to the Taowu Palace, the outer palace. If he goes to the Yizheng Palace, Chu Qing will probably have to have a colonoscopy or something.
Fu San didn't come in at all, because there was only one toothpai from the Ministry of Works, and only one person could enter per toothpai.
The person leading Chu Qing forward was a young eunuch, thirteen or fourteen years old, not as tall as Chu Qing's chest. He acted like a little adult, pretending to talk about the rules.
"When you enter the palace, don't look around at will."
"Although you can't see the noble person, if you do, you need to kneel down and salute."
"When saluting, you must not raise your head or take another glance."
Chu Qing lowered his head and walked forward, only looking at the road under his feet, fearing that as soon as he raised his head, 10,000 swordsmen would rush over and chop him into pieces.
"There are many rules in the palace." The young eunuch said arrogantly, "Just treat me with care."
Chu Qing hummed.
This is not a lot of rules, but a lot of trouble. Those who know it are entering the palace, but those who don’t know it think they are visiting leopard-print pandas.
After walking for a while, they finally arrived at their destination. The young eunuch raised his hand and pointed: "That's the Taowu Hall, where your Ministry of Works wants to repair it."
Chu Qing raised his head and was dumbfounded.
The palace is brightly lit, and the Taowu Palace is fifty steps away, every detail visible.
After just one glance, Chu Qing was sure.
This doesn't mean it's been in disrepair. It's clearly been attacked by a self-destructing truck, and it may not even be one.
Such a huge palace and a piece of ruins were only separated by a strong wind of level 8.
About four meters high and occupying a vast area of more than 300 square meters, the golden-domed red door has no sense of solemnity at all. Instead, it makes people feel the oppression of a dangerous building.
The two dragons on the eaves of other palaces have vivid golden scales and golden armor, as if they want to fly into the sky. The two dragons in Taowu Palace look a bit like worms that have just had difficulty giving birth, and one of their eyeballs has fallen out.
The red-tiled brick walls are mottled and old, and only one of the four corners of the hall is left. The long windows are not closed properly. They are swinging and creaking, just like the last prayer to the cruel children before pulling out the oxygen tube.
Chu Qing bit his lower lip unconsciously.
This Taowu Palace should be the ruins after the battle between the Hulk and Thanos. What else has been repaired? It has been directly demolished. It would be so delicious to plant some Chinese cabbage or something.
"Don't walk around randomly. Let's go and notify the father-in-law in the inner prison."
After leaving a word, the young eunuch left. Chu Qing looked around and saw no one, so he frowned and came to the door of Taowu Hall.
At first, he was a bit complaining about his father, but now when he arrived at the "construction site", he suddenly realized that his father was not wrong.
What's the point of repairing this? The right way is to donate the money to the people in the disaster area.
Chu Qing walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, not daring to go in. He was afraid that after entering, a sudden gust of wind would blow and the hall would collapse and he would be killed.
Taking out the pen and paper in his arms, Chu Qing began to record with a wry smile on his face.
Yes, Chu Qing does know how to build a house, just like he knows "accounting".
At first, he was pursuing a goddess from the classical literature department, thinking that she would like her. Then, he signed up for the wrong hobby class. She was studying classical literature, and he signed up for a hobby training class on ancient architecture.
However, the more than two thousand yuan was not wasted. Later, when I met others, I also had some bragging rights. It must be said that he was a classical architectural designer.
The ancients did not have steel bars and concrete, and most of their buildings were built with materials such as glutinous rice, lime mortar, soil, and wood, using mortise and tenon joints and other techniques.
The Chang Dynasty already had a mature construction system. In terms of building materials, the application of bricks gradually increased, including brick tombs, brick towers, etc. The wooden frame method can already make scientific use of material properties.
The so-called state affairs are called palaces, and family affairs are called palaces. The buildings in the palace are divided into palaces and palaces. The two do not mean the same thing. Taowu Palace is located outside the palace complex and is a relatively small palace. All the emperors of the Chang Dynasty were relatively hard-working. , there were so many grandsons of the Dragon Son Emperor, that is to say, the production capacity of the emperors in recent generations began to decline, so more and more palaces were abandoned, and Taowu Palace was one of them.
It was precisely because it was on the periphery that many officials who entered the court could see it from a long distance away. Perhaps it was an eyesore, so the new king was able to squeeze out some money to have the Ministry of Industry repair it.
Chu Qing's claws were completely numb.
He thought of things too simply. The Taowu Palace had nothing to do with the word "repair" and everything to do with the words "push" and "dismantling", and then rebuilt it.
To use the money to repair the house, do you want to build a new building?
Chu Qing sent greetings to the emperor and his family in his heart. The new emperor just told the Ministry of Industry that he wanted to buy it for zero yuan and that was it.
A few inaudible footsteps came, and Chu Qing turned his head and saw an old eunuch walking quickly with a whisk in his hand.
Chu Qing bent down to salute and shouted, "I have met my father-in-law."
In feudal society, classes were everywhere, especially in the palace.
In the public eye, you look at your clothes, in the officialdom, you look at your grade, and when you see an eunuch in the palace, you look at the Buddha's world.
The meat is divided into three layers, and the eunuchs are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. They cannot be judged by their age, but by the accessories they wear and the things they hold in their hands.
Just talking about this Buddha dust, there are hundreds of thousands of eunuchs in the palace. Those who can take Buddha dust can be counted with two hands.
Only the eunuchs who are close to the emperor or concubines are qualified to hold whisks.
The lowly eunuchs, for the convenience of their work, cannot or are not qualified to hold whisks.
The chief eunuch had a higher status than them. He could just tell them about running errands and doing work, and he would just help the emperor clean the dust, serve tea and water, and personally serve the emperor and the masters in the harem.
The emperor's status was undoubtedly noble, and it was disrespectful for the eunuch to touch his body directly with his hands, so he had to use a whisk to remove the dust, just like the scolding aunt who wanted to slap her naughty child for failing to do well in the exam.
In addition, the whisk was originally a magical weapon of Taoist priests, symbolizing strengthening the good and warding off evil. The whisk in the hands of the eunuchs also had the added meaning of sweeping away troubles and bad luck to the emperor and bringing good luck.
In any case, the eunuch holding the fly whisk in his hand was a close servant, and even the courtiers from other dynasties became more enthusiastic when they saw him.
After the old eunuch came, he took a closer look and asked with confusion on his face: "Master Chu's future?"
"Chu Wensheng is my father, my son Chu Qing."
The old eunuch smiled: "It turns out to be Mr. Chu, no need to be polite."
Chu Qing glanced at the whisk in the old eunuch's hand and began to ask, "I wonder what I call my father-in-law?"
"Our family's surname is Sun. Mr. Chu can call our family Eunuch Sun."
