(0671) Jingshi, Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace. 【】

The morning sun fell on the roof of the Forbidden City, and the glazed tiles were all reflected in the colorful, golden and shining. And the light reflected fell on the dark red palace walls, making all the palace walls solemn. The entire Forbidden City, bathed in the morning sun, is like a fairyland on earth.

Xu Xingxia rode his horse slowly on the road in front of the Qianqing Palace. Behind him, there were dozens of chasseur warriors. They all rode tall horses, too. Riding a horse in front of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, it is estimated that this is definitely the first time in the history of the Forbidden City. If Emperor Wanli was still there, he saw so many people riding over, he was afraid that he would vomit blood in anger.

Who doesn't know what the Forbidden City is? Is it okay to be wild here? In the Forbidden City, except for the upper court, it is impossible for people from outside to enter. It is the members of the royal family who live in the Forbidden City, and there are clear rules on how to go, where they can go, and where they can't. There are some rules, even Huang Yanjing can't violate at will.

In fact, during the reign of Emperor Wanli, there were almost no outsiders here. Because, when Emperor Wanli went to court, it was indeed too little. He hardly did not deal with political affairs in the Qianqing Palace. Emperor Wanli preferred to handle political affairs in the Yangxin Palace. Cabinet ministers can only meet him here. And most of the people in Dongchang and Jinyiwei are haunted in Yongshou Palace. Because, this is the residence of the Queen Mother.

In fact, Rao is like this, and Emperor Wanli does not have many opportunities to appear in the Heart Cultivation Palace. He spent more time in Kunning Palace messing around with Concubine Zheng and others. Either that, it is to study how to live forever with the Taoist priests in the Fengxian Palace. The Fengxian Hall was originally the location of the martial arts hall, and it was a place to meet military generals. Since Emperor Jiajing, it has become a special place for Taoist priests. The ministers attacked the black smoke miasma in the Forbidden City, and the Fengxian Hall was a big reason.

The Palace of Nourishing Heart is behind the Hall of Diligent Administration. Behind the Heart Cultivation Palace, is the Cining Palace. Cining Palace is generally where the queen's mother lives. The empresses of the previous emperors basically lived here. The empress of the Wanli Emperor died early, and there has been no empress since then. Concubine Zheng presides over the harem as the imperial concubine, which is actually the queen. However, Concubine Zheng Guifei didn't like Cining Palace, felt that Cining Palace was unlucky, and refused to move in, so it was always empty.

Concubine Zheng herself, most of the time, lives in Kunning Palace. Kunning Palace is behind the Qianqing Palace. In real history, Concubine Zheng was driven out of Kunning Palace by Li Xuanzhi. Later, Li Xuanzhi tried to control the Emperor of the Apocalypse and occupy the Qianqing Palace, but as a result, Yang Lian and others played a little trick and directly snatched the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"Your Excellency, please!" Zhang Nai, who arrived at the Qianqing Palace in advance, had already taken the soldiers of the chasers to block all the surroundings of the Qianqing Palace. The entire people in the Forbidden City, including all the palace maids and eunuchs, have all been cleared out. Now, the huge Forbidden City, except for the chaser soldiers on guard, is empty.

Xu Xingxia nodded, turned over and dismounted, and slowly walked into the Qianqing Palace. In the records of later generations, the Qianqing Palace was the seat of the highest power. This is because it is a place where court meetings are held, where state affairs are studied, discussed, and decided. Under normal circumstances, the laws and regulations of the state should be formed here. If Yanjing City is a symbol of power in China, then the Forbidden City is a symbol of power in the background, and Qianqing Palace is a symbol of power in the Forbidden City.

In the innermost part of the Qianqing Palace, there is a wide dragon chair, high above, eyeing the tiger. This is the legendary throne of the Ninety-Five. Throughout the ages, I don't know how many people have thrown their heads, spilled their blood, and fought by unscrupulous means for this throne. They either succeed or they fail. Their names may be as brilliant as meteors, or they may not have left their names in history at all. If this throne could count the relevant data, it is estimated that the number of people who died for it would have been astronomical.

Xu Xingxia was not interested in this high throne at all. In fact, this throne is really uncomfortable to sit on, far less comfortable than the sofa of later generations. The long court meeting was simply torment for many emperors. This is also the fundamental reason why many emperors are increasingly resistant to the upper court. It is the Taishi chair and the easy chair of this era, which are more comfortable than the throne of the Ninety-Five. Especially the easy chair specially designed for men's enjoyment...... Well, you have to think right, you can't be cranky.

Coming out of the Qianqing Palace, Xu Xingxia slowly rode his horse forward and came to Ciqing Palace. Ciqing Palace is the place where the prince Zhu Changluo lived in the past. It is located on the east side of the Forbidden City and is separated by high walls and buildings such as the Imperial Palace. Compared to the other major palaces in the Forbidden City, Ciqing Palace is obviously a bit shabby. The paint on the palace walls has even fallen off a little. The flowers and trees in the courtyard were not taken care of, and they almost grew into barren mountains and mountains.

It is said that Emperor Wanli doesn't like the crown prince, but it's really not just a casual thing. This old emperor really never paid attention to the state of his eldest son's existence. Where does he live, is he doing it, what does he hope for, Emperor Wanli probably never paid attention to it. Perhaps, Zhu Changluo is just a symbol in his mind. If it weren't for the tense situation, he wouldn't have let Zhu Changluo really become the emperor. Rao is so, when he was dying, he was still extremely partial, and gave the opportunity to ascend the throne and usurp the throne to his beloved King Fu.

As Zhu Changluo's daughter, Zhu Yilan certainly has a lot of time to live in Ciqing Palace. At that time, Ciqing Palace was estimated to be the most deserted existence in the entire Forbidden City. Except for Zhu Changluo and a few concubines, there are also a few children, and there is no one else. Eunuchs and palace maids and the like, the number is also the least. It is rumored that even the clothes have to be made by the concubines themselves. If it weren't for overwork, Zhu Yilan's mother, that is, Wang Cairen, would not have died so early.

The place where Zhu Yilan lives is a small courtyard with a single family, simple and simple, and there is nothing worth paying special attention to. Everything in it still retains the appearance of Zhu Yilan secretly leaving. It is estimated that at that time, Emperor Taichang should not pay much attention to his daughter. Otherwise, his daughter ran away, and he didn't have a big reaction. In the Hereafter, it would be incredible.

But it is the place where Zhu Youxiao lives, which is very distinctive. This future Emperor of the Apocalypse is really the reincarnation of Master Lu Ban. His dwelling was full of wood, axes, saws, axes, chisels, and other tools. There are also a lot of paints, stickies, paintings, and the like. And some of the furniture he made, both in terms of style and quality, is really good. If he were not an emperor, but a pure carpenter, he would have a great future.

"Dear brother-in-law, you should be a carpenter!" Xu Xingxia said silently.

Zhu Youxiao was not suitable to be the emperor in the first place, and forcibly pushed him to the emperor's throne, which actually harmed him. Now, Xu Xingxia has changed the course of history, and naturally he will not make such a mistake again. This cheap brother-in-law should obediently do what he likes to do. As his brother-in-law, he naturally wants to work hard to help him become a real Master Luban.

Now, everything in Ciqing Palace has been temporarily sealed, and when Zhu Yilan has time in the future, he will deal with it slowly. These things in the Forbidden City, it is estimated that only Zhu Yilan knows how to deal with them. After all, she used to be a member of the Forbidden City, and the suggestions she put forward to deal with it were the most effective and feasible.

After the huge Forbidden City fell into the hands of the white-clothed army, what should be done, the high-level leaders of the white-clothed army have not yet reached a unified opinion. Most people tend to believe that the capital is in Yanjing, and directly follows the existence of the Forbidden City as an imperial palace. However, Xu Xingxia's idea, like in later generations, was to simply open it to the public and turn it into a scenic spot.

…… When Xu Xingxia and the others came to Wenzhao Pavilion, there were already many people waiting here. The chaser warriors led by Zhang Nai have surrounded the surrounding area. At a glance, it was really three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, densely packed, all of them were chaser soldiers standing solemnly. Just around Wenzhao Pavilion, it is estimated that there is a squadron of troops. This guy probably regards Xu Xingxia as the future owner of the Forbidden City.

Such a grand battle made Xu Xingxia frown. At present, there are no outsiders in the Forbidden City, and Zhang Nai's doing this is too wasteful of troops. In the eyes of others, there is still a bit of a taste of posing. To be honest, Xu Xingxia doesn't like to play music. Only people who don't have the ability will like to play music. People who have the ability, who cares about this?

However, on such an occasion, he did not blame Zhang Nai. Zhang Nai most likely regarded him as a future emperor. Since he is the future emperor, he must be solemn and show the majesty of Xu Xingxia as much as possible. Putting out all the people of the chasers is also a kind of foil to the majesty. It's good intentions doing bad things.

Zhang Tianhao said in a low voice: "My lord, Concubine Zheng is inside." ”

Xu Xingxia nodded and walked directly into Wenzhao Pavilion. Inside the Wenzhao Pavilion, there are also three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry, which is filled with a strong atmosphere of killing. These chaser warriors who served as guards, each of them carried a moon gun in their hands, and the bayonets on the muzzles of their guns were shiny and shiny, exuding a rich cold air. Xu Xingxia had to wave his hand and ask Zhang Nai to remove most of the guards. This is not an occasion to meet and talk with others, this is completely an interrogation of prisoners, and it is the most heinous kind.
