After passing through the thick city gate cave and seeing the familiar streets, Prince Zhuang couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and said: "I finally returned to Beijing again, alas! It is not easy to return to Beijing alive." ”

Zhao Shuqiao also said: "Yes, yes, it's like a different world! It's really like a different world." As he spoke, he wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

Li Jingfang comforted: "Lord Wang, Zhao Zhongtang, don't be too sad, isn't this back to Beijing again? ”

Zhang Peilun also said: "Yes, and the two of you have a heavy responsibility to return to Beijing this time, and you can't miss the major events of the imperial court." ”

Prince Zhuang nodded and said, "Youqiao is right, we should still focus on the major affairs of the imperial court, why is there no overseas Chinese to greet us?"

At this moment, I saw that Qian Guoyu, who escorted them back to Beijing this time, led more than a dozen people over, and saw Prince Zhuang and said: "Lord, we have arrived in Beijing safely, we have to escort the prisoners to the barracks to hand over the order, and we can no longer accompany the prince." As he spoke, he called over a young man estimated to be only about 20 years old, wearing a black tights, a single-brimmed Dashan hat, and a two-foot-long wooden stick in his hand, but a white cloth was patched on his left arm, on which the word "police" was embroidered, and everyone else was dressed in the same attire as him, but the hat was different, and he wore a rattan round hat. Before the Gengzi State Change, Prince Zhuang was in charge of the Yamen of the Prime Minister's Office, although he didn't take much care of things, but he also knew that the foreigners in the concession were almost like this, and even the name was the same, and the name "police" was raised from foreigners.

Qian Guoyu said to Prince Zhuang: "This is Officer Li Shiyang Li, who is responsible for Beijing's public security work, and he is responsible for leading the prince to meet the administrative committee, you just follow them." ”

Then he turned to Li Shiyang and said: "Officer Li, they are the Qincha from the Qing court, this is Prince Zhuang, this is Zhao Zhongtang, and I will hand it over to you." ”

Li Shiyang nodded and said, "Company Commander Qian, you can rest assured." ”

Qian Guoyu turned to Prince Zhuang again and said, "Lord Wang, Zhao Zhongtang, I will leave first." ”

Prince Zhuang's heart is not very happy, he is also the Qing Dynasty's Qincha, along the way Qian Guoyu did not care much about himself, and as soon as he entered Beijing to escort the army, he also left himself alone, overseas Chinese sent these few fast catchers to pick him up, and this is too much to take himself seriously, in the Qing court, the head of the fast hunting squad is not in the stream, not even a formal official, can only be regarded as an official, but the current situation is stronger than people, Prince Zhuang can only accompany the smile, arched his hand, and said: "There is a labor money company commander to escort all the way." ”

Li Shiyang said: "Lord Wang, Zhao Zhongtang, please come with me." As he spoke, he turned around and led the dozen or so people he brought to lead the team in front.

So the group continued to march towards the city of Beijing, while Prince Zhuang and Zhao Shuqiao walked and observed the scene on both sides of the street, only to see that there were still many destroyed houses on both sides of the street, some only a few broken walls remained, some doors and windows were open, and even some of the broken houses were black, which was obviously burned by fire, or there was a large open space between several houses. After all, the Boxers and the Eight-Nation Coalition suffered two successive sabotages, which did cause considerable damage to the city of Beijing, and more than 1,000 houses were destroyed, and the People's Army had no intention of rebuilding Beijing, so the destroyed houses could only be left to this way.

However, although the houses are dilapidated, the rubble, dust, masonry, broken wood and other debris have been cleaned up, most of the shops and restaurants have been opened, and the streets are full of people. Moreover, police officers dressed in the same clothes as Li Shiyang and others can be seen everywhere on the streets, obviously maintaining local law and order.

People on the street saw their group coming, and there were police officers in front of them, so they moved out of the way. However, the inhabitants of Beijing must have lived at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and they were not only well-informed, but also bold, and although they retreated to the sides of the road, they still stopped and looked at the streets. Some of them also knew Prince Zhuang, and they all shouted: "It's the prince, it's the prince who has returned to Beijing." "There are also people on the side of the road to greet Prince Zhuang.

Hearing the discussion of the people, Prince Zhuang was also quite impressed, so he frequently signaled to the people on both sides on horseback.

Zhao Shuqiao observed that the streets were quite clean, and the previous scene of garbage and sewage leakage was completely gone, probably deliberately cleaned up by overseas Chinese, so it seems that overseas Chinese still respect themselves. Of course, Zhao Shuqiao didn't know that although the traverser did not repair the buildings in Beijing, they made considerable efforts to control Beijing's environmental sanitation.

In fact, when the Eight-Nation Coalition occupied Beijing, it also carried out environmental management in Beijing, mainly forcing Beijing residents to respect the sanitation system, regularly cleaning up the city's domestic garbage, and carrying out the dredging of Beijing's sewer project, but due to the appearance of traversers, this project was just at the end of the stall.

After the People's Army occupied Beijing, on the one hand, it continued to use the health system of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and one of the important tasks of the Beijing Provisional Police Station was to inspect and stop residents from violating the health system. A large number of toilets have been built in Beijing for the use of residents; at the same time, they have also continued to dredge up the sewers in Beijing, and they have mobilized more than 30,000 people in the city of Beijing to work together and work continuously for nearly a month, basically dredging about eighty percent of the underground waterways in the city, leaving only the sewers that are almost completely blocked and need to be re-excavated, and in some areas there were no sewers at all。 But even so, the environment in Beijing as a whole has improved dramatically. Therefore, when Zhang Peilun and Li Jingfang first arrived in Beijing, they were also startled, and they thought that they had gone to the wrong place.

Now the People's Army has all withdrawn from the palace, leaving only the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace to be responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the palace. The office of the Beijing Provisional Management Committee is located in the six yamen outside the noon gate of the palace, which also makes the hearts of the two of them settle down a little, it seems that this group of overseas Chinese still knows etiquette and dare not easily cross the ji. In fact, the traverser just felt that it was too inconvenient to work in the palace, and it would take more than 1 hour to enter and exit, which was not as smooth as in the six yamen. I don't care what the more or not.

Li Songchen was at Zhengyangmen to greet Qin Cha and his party, although Prince Zhuang, Zhao Shuqiao was surprised that Li Songchen was young, and Hengjian was not more than 30 years old, and he was the biggest official in Beijing now, and he had heard Zhang Peilun introduce that this person was not only the highest official in Beijing, but also the highest administrator in Tianjin, if this was changed in the Qing court, it would be the governor of Zhili, the head of the eight governors of the Qing court, such an important position, but it was held by such a young man, and then I thought that Luo Yue's age was younger, and Qian Guoyu, who sent them to Beijing, was only in his 20s, it seems that overseas Chinese prefer to appoint young people。

However, Prince Zhuang and Zhao Shuqiao did not dare to despise overseas Chinese because of this, after all, it was these young people who defeated the Eight-Nation Alliance, defeated the German Expeditionary Force, defeated the Russian army, and recaptured Tianjin, Beijing, and Qingdao.

Li Songchen's attitude was quite enthusiastic, welcoming the two into the yamen and setting up a feast to entertain them, which finally made the two find a little bit of the feeling of being ministers of the imperial mission. Of course, Prince Zhuang and Zhao Shuqiao would not think that the other party was really respecting themselves, so they also behaved very apologetically, although the atmosphere of the banquet was not warm, but it was also a group of harmony.

After chatting for a while, Li Songchen asked: "Lord Wang, Zhao Zhongtang, I don't know if the two of you plan to leave for Tianjin tomorrow, or stay in Beijing for a few days, decide earlier, I can arrange a train for you." ”

Prince Zhuang thought for a while and said: "We want to stay in Beijing for two days, mainly entrusted by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, hoping to enter the palace to see, and also to the Taimiao Temple to worship the spiritual throne of the first emperor of the Liedai, and also want to see our mansion in Beijing, it is best to find some original family members, I don't know if it is convenient?"

Li Songchen said with a smile: "What's inconvenient about this, then it's decided like this, today doesn't count, I will be in Beijing for two days tomorrow, and I will set off on the morning of the third day, and I will arrange the train for you that day." ”

Sacrificing ancestors is a traditional Chinese custom, and as the royal family, it attaches more importance to the sacrifice of ancestors, because it is an important means to unite the hearts of the bloodline and promote their legitimacy. Especially after this kind of major changes, it is often necessary to pay homage to the ancestors in the first time, and Cixi sent Prince Zhuang to serve as the minister of the Qincha, and it is precisely because he is a member of the royal family that he can sacrifice to the ancestors on behalf of Cixi and Guangxu.

The inspection of the palace is to see the damage to the palace, once Cixi and Guangxu return to Beijing, whether they can live directly in the palace, whether they need to repair the meal, or add other items. And look at the two of their own mansions, it is the two of them who seek some personal interests for themselves, Zhao Shuqiao is the minister of military aircraft, and Prince Zhuang is more expensive as a prince, and he naturally has his own mansion in Beijing, which is Prince Zhuang's palace, which is huge in scale and has huge wealth. When fleeing Beijing, because they were in a hurry, both of them only brought their immediate family members and a few servants, most of the servants and many distant relatives stayed in the mansion, and the two basically had no hope for the property, but so many servants, they will not all die, take this opportunity to recruit the surviving family members, clean up the mansion, and then leave them to guard the mansion, so that when they return to Beijing, they will not have to be in such a hurry.
