"Xinglong, why are you here?" Seeing Wan Xinglong panting and rushing over, Cui Ning was a little surprised.

"These days have been busy, the company has invested in several Internet company projects, although the domestic Internet companies have just started, not profitable, and have not found the so-called profit model, but we are optimistic about these projects, optimistic about a few founders, after all, the dragon country also needs its own portal" Wan Xinglong briefly said his recent situation:

"I heard that you are going to visit the old palace tonight, and then I specially pushed a party, hurried over, and visited the old palace at night with you, I am also very curious, how many secrets are hidden in such a place under the root of the imperial city?"

"Don't say it, just now Long Da and Long Yi told me all the legends they knew, and there are many that I have heard of for the first time, such as divine beasts, ancient wells, palace maids, crossing, Chuxiu Palace can't sleep. Anyway, it's all kinds of hearsay stories, and I don't know if it's true or not."

"I've also heard a lot of versions, but recently there are indeed some shadows in the night, this should be true, Mr. Zhuge told me that I practice taekwondo, not an ancient martial arts, and there is no so-called true qi in the body, so we can come together to explore the secrets"

"Then let's go together, but it's not even eight o'clock yet, hundreds of thousands of square meters, dozens of palaces are close to 10,000 houses, and there is no goal."

"Let's go to Chuxiu Palace first" Long Da was very curious, "Or sleep in Chuxiu Palace later, and see if you wake up and lie in the corridor outside"

"It's okay to go to Chuxiu Palace, but can you sleep" Wan Xinglong touched Long Da's head, "I said you two, who is the boss?"

The "I" voice is surprisingly consistent and unambiguous.

Wan Xinglong and Cui Ning glanced at each other, and then Cui Ning said hello to the armed police on duty at the door, the armed police should have also received a notice from their superiors, after a brief conversation, looked at a few people, and made a phone call to confirm again, salute, the four people walked into the mysterious old palace through the gate, and behind them, the armed police quickly locked the door.

The Forbidden City is the royal palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties of the Dragon Kingdom, formerly known as the Forbidden City, located in the center of the central axis of the Dragon Kingdom, and is the essence of the ancient court architecture of the Dragon Kingdom. The Forbidden City is centered on the three major halls, covering an area of 720,000 square meters, with a construction area of about 150,000 square meters, with more than 70 large and small palaces and more than 9,000 houses. It is one of the largest and most well-preserved wooden structures in the world.

The old palace of the dragon kingdom began to be built in the fourth year of Yongle (1406), the capital of the Ming Dynasty at that time, and was built in the eighteenth year of Yongle (1420). It is a rectangular castle with a length of 961 meters from north to south and a width of 753 meters from east to west, surrounded by a wall 10 meters high on all sides, and a moat with a width of 52 meters outside the city.

The buildings in the Forbidden City are divided into two parts: the outer court and the inner court. The center of the outer dynasty is the Taihe Palace, the Zhonghe Palace, and the Baohe Palace, collectively referred to as the three major halls, which are the places where the state holds great ceremonies. The center of the inner court is the Qianqing Palace, the Jiaotai Palace, and the Kunning Palace, collectively known as the Hou Three Palaces, which are the main palaces where the emperor and empress live.

The old palace of the Oriental Dragon Kingdom is known as the first of the five major palaces in the world (the Old Palace of the Dragon Kingdom, the Palace of Versailles in France, the Buckingham Palace of the Eagle Kingdom, the White House of the Charm Kingdom, and the Kremlin of the Goose Kingdom).

The entire old palace, in the architectural arrangement, is combined into a whole with the technique of shape change and ups and downs. functionally in line with the hierarchy of feudal society. At the same time, it achieves the artistic effect of balance between left and right and shape change, and it can be said to be the greatest palace in the past thousand years.

However, some strange events in the old palace do not start from now, the last emperor of the former dynasty, Chongzhen and his own reign in the seventeenth year (1644), when the rebel Li Zicheng army broke through the dragon capital, he hanged himself in the coal mountain, a 34-year-old diligent emperor committed suicide in the palace, which will inevitably cause changes in the energy of heaven and earth.

Then in the Qing Dynasty in the former dynasty, there were many stories about the strange events of the old palace or the apparition of Chongzhen, but the vicissitudes of time have become legends written by novelists.

Four people walked in the old palace at about 8 o'clock at night, according to the regulations of the superiors, in addition to the relevant monitoring and opening, and several gates of the old palace have strengthened the duty, the entire old palace internal staff are all on vacation tonight, that is to say, hundreds of thousands of square meters of the old palace, only Cui Ning, Wan Xinglong four people, in the dark palace, there is an inexplicable atmosphere.

Chuxiu Palace, one of the six palaces in the west of the old palace of the Dragon Kingdom, is located in the east of Xianfu Palace and the north of Yikun Palace, which is the palace building of the Han nationality built in the Ming Dynasty and the residence of the concubines of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Chuxiu Palace is a single eaves rest on the top of the mountain, facing five rooms, and the front corridor.

Under the eaves, the bucket and the beam are decorated with Soviet-style paintings. The east and west side halls are respectively the Yanghe Palace, the Slow Blessing Palace, all of which are three rooms wide and hard hilltop buildings. The apse Lijingxuan is five rooms wide, the top of the single eaves hard mountain, and the east and west side halls are respectively the Fengguang room and the Yilan Pavilion.

During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty (1852 A.D., the second year of Xianfeng), Empress Xiaoqinxian (that is, the Empress Dowager Cixi) lived in the apse of Chuxiu Palace (now Lijingxuan) after entering the palace, and gave birth to Emperor Tongzhi here.

After the abdication of the Qing Dynasty, Wanrong lived here and incorporated Western elements into the decoration and furnishings. It is precisely because of the fate of the Empress Dowager Cixi and this palace that Chuxiu Palace is particularly interesting.

Due to the arrangement of the superiors, except for a few places where the cultural relics are displayed, all the palace gates are open, and Cui Ning and the four of them stood in front of Chuxiu Palace, imagining that a woman and had been here more than a hundred years ago to strategize and guide the country, and they couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Cui Ning, Brother Xinglong, do you say that Guangxu and Xuantong are the descendants of Nurhachi? I look at history, whether it is Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, or Kangxi Qianlong, they are all true heroes and heroes throughout the ages, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, why can't even an old lady figure it out when it comes to Guangxu and Xuantong, and none of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty dare to come out against the Empress Dowager Cixi?"

"Isn't history like this? When we look at history now, many people are stupid and outrageous, but in many things, when we look back at ourselves, don't we have the same stupid times? If we want to say that Cixi's curtain is listening to the government, it is also bloody.

At that time, in July of the 11th year of Xianfeng (1861), Emperor Wenzong Yixu, that is, Emperor Xianfeng, died at the age of 31, and on his deathbed, he ordered Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Jingshou, Sushun, Mu Yin, Kuangyuan, Du Han, and Jiao Youying to be the ministers of Zanxiang and assist the six-year-old prince Zaichun (that is, Emperor Tongzhi) to succeed to the throne.

In September of the same year, the Empress Dowager Ci'an and Cixi colluded with Prince Gong and others to launch a coup d'état, known in history as the Xinyou Coup, the Qixiang Coup or the Dragon Kingdom Kyoto Coup, killing Su Shun, the head of the eight ministers who took care of their lives, and ordered Zaiyuan and Duanhua to commit suicide, and dismissed Jingshou and other five ministers, and implemented the curtain to listen to the government, which opened a sad page in the history of the Dragon Kingdom.

Later, the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the entry of the Eight-Nation Alliance into the Dragon Capital, and the burning of the Old Summer Palace, if you want to talk about cause and effect, they are all directly related to Cixi, this woman can be said to be a sinner in the history of the Dragon Kingdom, but everything is in the past. ”

After listening to Wan Xinglong's answer, Long Dalong and one or two teenagers still had some questions, so Cui Ning asked a very objective question:

"If you were born in the Qing Dynasty and you were a powerless civil official, what could you do in the face of Cixi and Prince Gong, who had military power?"

"Resist, what else can I do?"

"The head of the Eight Great Ministers, Su Shun is exactly the same as you think, and you all know his results. Then let's continue this topic, if the eight ministers who have the most power to leave the edict of the first emperor are killed, killed, or even threaten the lives of dozens of members of the family, what else can you do?"

Long Da and Long Yi and the two people faced each other again, and Long Da spoke:

"Bear with it, resist if you have the chance"

"You're right, Guangxu thinks the same way, and that's what he does" Cui Ning said very carefully:

"But Jiang Lao told me that there are also records in history, that is, the change of each dynasty has a certain number of lives and cause and effect, and you can't think that the predecessors are stupid from the perspective of later generations, they are all human beings, and they all have shortcomings, and if they are not in the game, any point of view is pale."

"Before the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, as one of the tribes, Yehenara was a large surname of the Manchu people, and it was also one of the surnames with comparative origins.

The ancestor of the Yehenara clan was the Mongols who entered the Hulun tribe, and the ala of the Yehnara clan means love. The surname is called Yehnara because the kingdom was originally established on the banks of the Yeh River.

According to the historical records of the Dragon Kingdom, in the late Yuan and Ming dynasties, there was a war between the Yehenara clan and Aixin Jueluo, and the final victory was the Yehenara clan, which became the most powerful tribe in the northeast for a time. This position was maintained for many years, and it was not until there was a big man in the Aixinjue Luo clan - Nurhachi that the situation was reversed.

After Nurhachi became the leader of the tribe, he led his tribe at that time to establish a Jurchen state to unify the Jurchen tribes, and the battle with Yehebu was the fiercest. After the victory, Nurhachi ordered the poisoning of the Yehnara clan, which was a shame. He even burned many of Yehnara's people at the stake. Then let the rest of the tribe eat his flesh, and before he was killed, the leader of the Yehnara tribe swore to heaven and said to Nurhachi: "Even if there is only one woman left in my Yehnara clan, I will take revenge on you and destroy your whole clan in the future!"

It is this oath that makes Aixinjue Luo remember it in his heart, and he is wary of the Yehenara clan everywhere, and even avoids the Yehenara clan.

With the defeat of the Yehenala clan, it was ruled by the Aixinjue Luo clan for more than two hundred years, until the Yehenala clan, who was born by a person called "Xing'er", was able to wait for the opportunity to turn over. This apricot is the later Cixi."
