In the sixth year of Tongzhi, on December 28, the "curtain removal ceremony" of Ci'an and Empress Dowager Cixi was officially held in the Imperial Hall of Ningshou Palace in the Forbidden City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info天籁novel.23txt.

For this ceremony, almost everyone who bowed to it was very impressed.

This is because this "curtain removal ceremony" is no more than the enthronement, longevity, and New Year's Day, and it is really called "unprecedented" and "unprecedented" - there was no such thing as before, and there should never be more in the future.

All the rituals of the Great Ceremony must be counted as "the first time ever", and there will be no second time.

Any detail can be discussed in a big way, and it can still be talked about many years later.

For most of the people who attended the ceremony, there was one more thing, which was also about "unprecedented"—entering the inner court.

It is not uncommon to enter the Forbidden City, the cabinet, the internal affairs office, and the military aircraft department are all in the Forbidden City, and many officials have to deal with these yamen, but it is the "outer court", not the "inner court".

Although Ningshou Palace is an independent area, it can be regarded as an "inner court" in the end.

For relatives and nobles and people who have "inner court walking" messengers, entering and exiting the inner court, although it is not unusual, but Ningshou Palace is also the first time to come in - since the "Qiansuo Banquet", after the four dynasties of Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, and Tongzhi, Ningshou Palace has never been of any serious use, therefore, everyone has no chance to enter - the next time, I don't know when it will be.

Today's day, although it is half sunny and half cloudy, is not as clear as the blue sky on the day of the enthronement ceremony, but it has also been calculated, at least, there is no snow or rain, and the wind is not too big.

In front of Xiqing Gate, there is a "Golden Drum and Cymbal Song Music", including dragon drums, battle drums, copper drums, flat drums, copper cymbals, copper points, dragon fences, flat fences, cloud gongs, golden mouth horns, large and small copper horns, Mongolian horns, painting horns, golden cymbals, clappers, red stirrups, and pipes, sheng, and so on.

The "Golden Drum and Cymbal Song" is not the Empress Dowager's guard of honor, but a part of the "Book of Fa Driving" - that is, the Emperor's guard of honor.

At the entrance of the main venue of the "Curtain Removal Ceremony", the "Golden Drum and Cymbal Song and Music" are displayed, which is equivalent to welcoming the Queen Mother back to Luan on the day of the Queen Mother's return, in front of the first and outside the Jinshui Bridge North to display the "ceremonial image", which is the emperor's own honor guard, the meaning of the emperor's "guide", which is not only for "repaying virtue with merit", but also expresses the emperor's "heart of admiration", which is the embodiment of the dynasty's "ruling the world with filial piety".

This trick, twenty-four years of history, completely from the mind of Prince Xuan, but, there is no problem, pro-noble ministers, Han Zhan Kedao, from top to bottom, no one objected to this, but many people talked about it, all said, it is really a "good story", enough to "set an example for the world, and the future generations".

Entering the Xiqing Gate, it is to enter the land of Ningshou Palace, the right hand side is the Nine Dragon Wall, the left hand side is the Huangji Gate, in front of the Huangji Gate, the display of Fengyu, Yiyu, Fengche, Ceremony Car - from here, it is the Queen Mother's own honor guard.

Entering the Huangji Gate, on both sides of the royal road, there are furnishings of my battle, standing melon, and lying melon...... Occasionally, the five-color dragon and phoenix flags.

In front of Ningshou Gate, there are yellow straight-handled flower umbrellas, red straight-handled Ruicao umbrellas, and blue and black straight-handled Jiufeng umbrellas.

Enter the Ningshou Gate, the Imperial Palace is in sight, on both sides of the royal road, furnishings the red dragon fan, the yellow dragon fan, the phoenix fan, the pheasant tail fan.

Under His Majesty Dan, set up red square umbrellas and plain square umbrellas.

Between the Dan Majesty, there is a golden yellow plain fan, a red luan phoenix fan, and a yellow satin embroidered four-season flower umbrella.

Above His Majesty, that is, on the terrace in front of the Imperial Palace, there are two big yellow crank nine phoenix umbrellas, one on the left and one on the right - this is the representative of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces.

After that, twenty five-colored nine phoenix umbrellas hunted in the wind.

Under the eaves of the palace, there are gold festivals, gold dust, gold incense burners, gold incense boxes, gold spit pots, gold plates, gold bowls, gold bottles, gold chairs, gold pestles, gold square tables, and gold foot pedals...... Well, yes, this is the batch of "honor guards" that were originally placed in Changchun Palace, "except for the people in Changchun Palace, no one can see it", which made the Queen Mother regret it, and now she can finally "show it to the ministers in a grand manner".

Almost all of the people who participated in the ceremony entered Ningshou Palace for the first time, but those who were qualified to "walk in the inner court" were all those who had been to Qianqing Palace. It seems like...... Is it exactly the same as the Qianqing Palace?

Not to mention the regulations of the Imperial Palace itself, the Qianqing Palace is exactly the same - they are all heavy eaves on the top of the palace, and they are all nine rooms wide, that is, the terrace in front of the palace and the various settings of His Majesty are exactly the same-

Relevant people remember very well that the terrace in front of the palace of the Qianqing Palace, a Dan Majesty, on both sides of the royal road, each set up a pair of copper tripod furnaces; The southeast corner of the terrace is set up with a sundial, and the southwest corner is set up with Jialiang; On the left and right sides of the terrace, there are a pair of copper turtles and copper cranes - the Huangji Palace here, as concocted, Ding furnace, sundial, Jialiang, copper turtle, copper crane, the same lot, even the position of the place, are exactly the same as the Qianqing Palace.

Also, under His Majesty Dan, on the left and right sides, there is a hexagonal Sumeru seat in each direction, and the hexagonal copper pavilion with heavy eaves is placed on the seat - hey, isn't this the two "Jiangshan Sheji Golden Palace" commonly known as the "Golden Pavilion" in the Qianqing Palace?

The only difference is that the "Golden Pavilion" of the Huangji Palace, the word "Shou" is engraved on each side of the pavilion body, and there is no "Shou" word on the "Jiangshan Sheji Pavilion" of the Qianqing Palace.

We also know that the Imperial Palace is modeled after the regulations of the Qianqing Palace, but we never thought that it would be so similar! This Imperial Palace is simply a "copy" of the Qianqing Palace!

Many people are muttering in their hearts: Gaozong is an interesting person, his "Taishang Emperor's Main Palace" is exactly the same as "Tianzi Zhengya", almost exactly the same, what do you want to do?

Hehe, this intention...... Hey!

Don't ask, don't ask!

While thinking wildly, under the supervision of the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the impeachment of the imperial history, inside and outside the palace, on and off the stage, stand in shifts, inside and outside the imperial palace, a piece of pearl robe, the top of the brilliant.

As soon as the auspicious time came, the silent whip sounded, and the "front court" of the entire Ningshou Palace, although it was full of people, was immediately silent.

Soon after, the sound of "eat-eat-" could be heard, from far and near.

Well, this is the emperor's Luan drive from the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, and she has arrived at Ningshou Palace.

The queen mother of the two palaces started from the dormitory at the same time, and the two of them, although one lived in the sixth palace in the east and the sixth palace in the west, however, the distance from Zhongcui Palace to Ningshou Palace was not much different from the distance from Changchun Palace to Ningshou Palace.

At that time, the emperor was already waiting outside the imperial gate.
