Chapter 137: The Teasing Daily Life of the Monarch and the Minister
Johnson was speechless after hearing this, and he absolutely couldn't bear it!
Zhou Hui couldn't help but laugh and said: "Recently, there have been too many Qing palace dramas, all kinds of domineering presidents, what three palaces and six courts, seventy-two concubines, it seems that being an emperor is a good errand?"
"I'll give you a brief description of the emperor's daily itinerary, from the beginning of the morning to the beginning of the morning, that is, to get up at four or five o'clock in the morning, the waiting eunuchs and palace maids immediately serve and freshen up, and after the grooming is completed, they will go to Cining Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, which is a rule formed since Emperor Kangxi, walking from the Yangxin Palace to Cining Palace, and a round trip is equivalent to morning exercise. ”
"At six o'clock, the morning class is called the daily lecture, and the ministers are selected to give lectures on governing the country, or they can study the Records of the Patriarchs, the Hadiths, and so on. ”
"During this time, the imperial dining room was the busiest, and it was necessary to prepare breakfast for the emperor, even if it was breakfast, there would be more than 20 dishes, because the Manchu royal family only had two meals a day, morning and noon, and at the end of the morning class, they would eat in the West Garden or the East Warm Pavilion. ”
"I have to work after eating, and I don't want to go to the morning court every day like in film and television dramas, the kind is called the big pilgrimage meeting, and there will not be a few times a year. The office is in the form of summoning ministers, sometimes one by one, sometimes three or two together. Although the Qing Dynasty set up many institutions to assist in handling government affairs, none of them had the right to decide, and the emperor had to be consulted to make the final decision. ”
"It's easy to listen to the chatter of the ministers, and to review the recitals, which is definitely physical work. For example, Kangxi and Yongzheng often work overtime until late at night, especially Yongzheng, who once wrote more than 12,000 words in a notebook, and that was with a brush!"
"At 12 o'clock, the second dinner time, also more than 20 dishes, there is a short lunch break, and in the afternoon I continue to see the minister, review and review, until six o'clock to get off work. ”
"At dinner, the eunuch in the worship room will bring a plate with a sign with the name of the concubine written on it, and whoever turns it over will be served that night. First bathed, then carried to the emperor's bed by the eunuchs. The bedtime was strictly limited, and when the time came, even if the emperor was reluctant, the eunuchs would rush in and carry people away, and they were never allowed to stay overnight, and the emperor was lonely and sleepless every night. ”
"Even if the queen is fat and ugly, the emperor must sleep with her on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, this is the ancestral family law, in order to improve the status of the wife, if you don't go, the imperial history will point to the nose and scold people. ”
"The waiter is not allowed to lift the emperor's quilt, you must get in from under the emperor's quilt, from the bottom of your feet, and then get out after being ashamed, go back to your own bed to sleep or sleep on the maid's bed on the edge of the palace, you are not allowed to sleep on the dragon bed, unless the emperor is gracious, you can sleep under the foot of the dragon bed, and keep vigil for the emperor. ”
"Before the concubine leaves, the personal eunuch will ask the emperor: Do you want to stay? If you answer: stay, then the concubine can leave directly. If you don't stay, you have to drink contraceptive decoction, and the emperor will judge whether this woman is qualified to give birth to dragon children and phoenix grandchildren. ”
Johnson was dumbfounded when he heard this, this is to be the emperor?
Zhou Hui drank saliva and continued, "The ministers of the Ming and Qing dynasties knelt all the way, even if the emperor summoned you alone for six hours, you had to kneel on the ground for six hours. If it is an old minister, the emperor is compassionate, gives a felt mat, and can kneel on the mat. ”
"Young people have to kneel on the ground, and before many ministers go to court, they have already secretly wrapped their elbows and knees, and they have to practice kneeling often at home, otherwise they will faint after kneeling for a while. ”
"Liu Yong's father Liu Tongxun was on his knees to death, and later Liu Yong was a teacher who loved to be late and leave early, did not teach seriously, did not correct homework, Qianlong was very angry, and scolded: For the sake of your father's face, you let the Pope, how dare you not be dedicated?"
"The emperor got up early, and the ministers didn't dare to sleep lazy. The capital of the Qing Dynasty was divided into an inner city and an outer city, and the inner city was only allowed to be full of people. Han ministers basically lived outside the Xuanwu Gate, and the distance from their residences to the Forbidden City was very long, and they usually had to get up at two or three o'clock in the morning to set off. ”
"Now the North Drifters feel very miserable when they go to work around four o'clock? Imagine the minister at that time. Especially in winter, braving the severe cold, sitting in a sedan chair trembling and walking for two or three hours to go to the court, catching up with the wind and snow......"
Johnson couldn't help but shudder, he couldn't even think about it!
"I finally arrived at the Forbidden City, but the officials couldn't enter immediately, so they had to wait at the Donghua Gate. Before you get off the monument, no matter how big an official you are, you have to walk in. At five o'clock in the morning, the gate opened, and the officials rushed in. ”
"According to the rules, no one else can light the lamp except for the minister who delivered the main official document on the day. Therefore, if an official who is allowed to light the lamp enters the palace, there must be many people behind him rubbing the lamp, just like an eagle catching a chicken. ”
"At five o'clock in the morning in winter, I couldn't see my fingers, and then caught up with the wind and rain, there were once officials who walked in the dark on rainy days, accidentally fell into the royal river, and drowned alive!"
"Finally survived to the last dynasty, unlike many ministers in the Qing court drama who crowded into the main hall to hold meetings together, in fact, except for a few high-status important ministers, most people still have to stand outside the main hall. If you are unlucky today and meet the imperial gate to listen to the government, then I am sorry, all the ministers have to stand on both sides of the Qianqing Gate. ”
"At the beginning of the court, three bows and nine bows, a set of cumbersome etiquette came down, and I didn't have the physical strength to faint and go into shock. There are strict rules for speaking, standing, and gesturing. accidentally committed it, and the royal history on duty slapped him in the face directly. ”
"What should people do if they have three urgency? I'm sorry, hold back!"
"If you don't hold back, you can imagine the end. Therefore, the minister rarely ate before going to court, and did not dare to drink water, and he was hungry and cold......"
After saying that, he suddenly remembered something, stared at the floor carefully, and kept stepping on it a few times. suddenly made a crisp sound and said with a smile: "The ministers of the Qing Dynasty are all slaves, and the monarch must kneel before the prelude." If the emperor gives a person a reward or asks him to speak before the court, the minister must take off his crown and knock his head on the ground, and he must kowtow to make a sound, which is called prostration. ”
"Therefore, many halls have special coverings, and kowtowing on them is the easiest to sound, otherwise the head will be broken, and the emperor may not be able to hear it, and the old fritters will bribe the eunuchs to inquire about the location of this feng shui treasure early. ”
Johnson also remembered the former Huanzhu Gege, and remembered what Xiaoyanzi invented that name? Yes, it's easy to kneel!
I thought it was a fictional joke, but I didn't expect it to be ......
The time was almost noon, and Zhou Hui saw that Johnson was in high spirits, and the beauty difference of two hundred per hour would definitely not take the initiative to eat.
took out his mobile phone, found a few photos, and continued to explain: "This is a lot of twists and turns in the Qing Palace Archives, which are very interesting, just like our current reply." ”
