Chapter 116: Entering the Imperial Palace of the Middle Capital City for the First Time
The palace is not open to the public, and the imperial court will never allow the palace to be used as a tool to collect money, and engage in tourism development or something.
In fact, if it is really open, at least it can raise funds, and the former palace will not be depressed. But no one dared to open this head, everyone was just thinking in their hearts and didn't dare to say it.
In front of the palace stood two rows of soldiers, fully armoured, their swords gleaming, and their scabbards seemed to be plated with a layer of silver powder.
"How do you get in here?" Besides, he looked at the soldier blankly and muttered softly.
Besides, although I know that these soldiers' sabers are all good, and they are probably made of wood, they can't break in.
"Brother Xu, don't worry, someone will come to pick us up later."
After waiting for about a cup of tea, a eunuch came out and led them in. Zuo Dongge called this person Uncle Gao, and when he greeted him, he stuffed a silver ticket in his hand.
The soldiers turned a blind eye to the few of them, as if they were instantly transparent. A few tourists, seeing this, also wanted to follow in, but before they could get closer, they were pointed at by the scabbard of the soldier.
"Uncle Gao, this Brother Xu is the miracle doctor I mentioned to you." Zuo Dongge introduced.
"Miracle doctor? Isn't this just a child? The man looked up and down,
"Brother Xu is not very old, and his medical skills are really god."
"yes, how godly is it to make that thing grow?" The man said.
And the Great Khan: "No. ”
Modern medicine has a transplantation theory, and traditional Chinese medicine also has a miracle trick, the so-called transplantation of dog whips, donkey whips to people, etc., but it is only a legend, no one has ever seen it.
Even if it can be done, will anyone dare to do it? Let the eunuchs regain their masculinity, doesn't that add to the emperor's blockage? It will be destroyed in minutes. In addition to the ten unforgivable sins, there is also a great treason, which is ranked before the crime of treason.
"If you can't, what else is it called 'divine doctor', let's remove that divine word." The man looked disdainful.
When several eunuchs inside saw them coming in, they all came over to say hello, and they hooked up with Zuo Dongge. So, Zuo Dongge threw out the silver tickets one by one, in exchange for a bright face like a chrysanthemum.
After a few people took the silver ticket and left, Zuo Dongge whispered to the eunuch surnamed Gao: "Uncle Gao, my father told you, I want to ask you to do something." ”
"The secret file of the emperor's family, this matter is more difficult. If it's on the older generation, it's not a problem, and I can call the shots, but now we are strict with us, and I don't dare to make the slightest mistake. ”
"That's for the adults in Beijing, the sky is high here, the emperor is far away, and it's not up to you to decide."
"Your boy is like your father, he can speak. But it's really hard, I'll try to figure it out, I may not be able to do it. The eunuch surnamed Gao gritted the word "difficult" at the root of his teeth, the meaning was clear, take the money in exchange, there is no other trick.
Zuo Dongge naturally understood, and said with a smile: "Uncle Gao, don't worry, I will go back and tell my father that I will never embarrass you." ”
"Well, I know, you two will do things, I don't worry."
At this time, some palace maids came out to sweep the courtyard, and some of the younger ones either blushed and stared at the situation, or looked at Xiao Nier like a flower. The aura of mountain flowers on Xiao Nier's body is something that has not been seen here for many years, let alone such a handsome young man.
There are also a few white-haired old palace maids wearing outdated palace makeup, with towering buns, but their bodies have shriveled up and run out of moisture. There was no sparkle in their eyes, and they didn't look at the others, as if they had lost their sense of everything around them, and just walked through the palace like ghosts. They carried brooms and swept the floor mechanically without lifting their heads.
This scene made him suddenly feel a little chill on his body, and a line of poetry suddenly popped out of his mind: The people of Shouyang Palace sit in front of the flowers, and the white hair is declining.
"It's so cold in here." Xiao Nier also seemed to have a sense, and suddenly shivered.
"Hehe, except for these palace maids who no one wants young or old, it's those of us who have cut off the roots, the yin qi here is too heavy, just get used to it." The eunuch surnamed Gao smiled.
Xiao Nier blushed and said, "It's not serious. ”
The eunuch surnamed Gao was not annoyed at all, but looked Xiao Ni up and down, and praised: "What a beautiful embryo, but the face is tight." Virtuous nephew, who is this in your house? How come I haven't seen it. ”
"This is Uncle Xiao's granddaughter." Zuo Dongge introduced.
"Oh, it's Lao Xiao's granddaughter." The blazing light in the eyes of the eunuch surnamed Gao cooled down a little.
The change in the eyes of the eunuch surnamed Gao is a little creepy, isn't that root gone, how can there be this look, can it be said that it can still secrete hormones normally?
Besides, I have read some notes from the Ming Dynasty: Most of the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty not only married wives, but some of them were surprisingly vigorous, and there were many things that bullied men and women, and some eunuchs openly occupied the wives of their subordinates. It's just that I didn't believe it at the time, thinking that it was just a deduction, so I watched it as a joke. Now that I think about it, maybe that wasn't a joke.
Why this is so is a mystery, at least from a medical point of view.
Besides, looking at those palace maids who are like walking corpses, they are sincerely sympathetic to them, it is unlucky enough to be drafted by the royal draft, and then they are sent here, and they die miserable, it is really bad for eight lifetimes.
"Brother, these are palace maids, and they look very ordinary."
Xiao Nier pulled him down some distance and whispered.
Besides, he looked at a few palace maids who were young but had no appearance, and nodded. Although there are countless beauties in the world, no one can let the emperor choose if they don't have a hand.
This is one of them. Second, whether it is the minister or the queen mother, they don't want the emperor to have too beautiful concubines around him, lest the emperor indulge in the pleasure of lust and ignore the government and politics, and repeat the disaster of women's sex and the country, so there are only a large number of concubines and palace maids in the palace, and there are not many who are really outstanding.
When he became an ancestor, he commanded Ji Gang, who was full of infinite love for the emperor and was responsible for the emperor's draft, and he gritted his teeth to keep the most beautiful women for himself, and the middle ones were selected to the palace, and he would rather suffer the scourge of these beauties than let the monarch suffer from this crime and be infamous by future generations. Of course, his loyalty did not bring any good results, and he was soon killed by Zhu Di for treason.
"Well, what a pitiful way they are. Why don't you run away? Xiao Nier said softly again.
Besides, he nodded and sighed: "Where can a weak woman escape?" There is no culture, and there is no money on him. If you escape from the palace gate, you will inevitably have to enter the tiger's den, and this society is not peaceful. ”
These women were sent here when they were young and ignorant, and then they could only spend their lives in this closed world, although they did not have to worry about food and clothing, but in addition to sprinkling and serving, all the most basic desires of women were deprived, and they never came out.
This is a prison, and the sentence is life imprisonment.
In feudal society, the two most miserable places in the world are the Heavenly Prison and the other is the inner palace of the palace.
Imperial power is above all else, and there is only obedience to the people in the world.
After Emperor Jianwen left, his two infant princes were placed under house arrest. Zhu Di is not as good as his idol His Majesty Li Er, and he failed to kill him ruthlessly. His Majesty Li Er's is called cutting grass without leaving roots, the elder brother kills, the younger brother kills, and they are all copied and beheaded. Even if he was so ruthless, he still missed one, his domineering younger brother and sister gave birth to a son, named the prince, and after going out to take charge of the army, he rebelled, saying that he was a widow and wanted to avenge his father's murder to His Majesty Li Er.
The two princes of Emperor Jianwen were also confined in a house for the rest of their lives, with servants, maidservants, and strict protection from the Imperial Forest Army. They have only seen these servants who serve them since they were young, and have never married wives, and they suspect that they have been castrated since childhood, and they are not allowed to read and write, so that they do not read and grow intellectually, and they are even more ignorant of the outside world.
Until the restoration of Yingzong, because he had spent two unbearable prison life, he was deeply sympathetic to these two princes, and according to his generation, they were also his two uncles, so he ordered the liberation of these two imperial uncles.
The two emperors only walked out of that mansion when they were in their fifties, and when they went outside, it was like coming to another world, and they didn't even know pigs, sheep, horses, cows and dogs, this was really the Truman world of the Ming Dynasty.
The result was really tragic, because their psychology was seriously affected, and they died of depression within a few days after going out.
If the most tragic figures in Chinese history are chosen, these two imperial uncles are definitely on the list. This may be another kind of brutality on the part of Zhu Di, even more cruel than killing them directly.
Although Emperor Yingzong has a bad reputation in history, he is actually a good emperor, talking about family affection, humane, and also very benevolent, he single-handedly abolished the concubine burial system that has been inherited for many generations, although he cannot be called wise, at least he is a benevolent monarch. Yingzong was imprisoned twice, and then restored to the throne, and he is also the only one in history.
At this moment, Xiao Nier's body was shivering with cold, even if the sun was shining, it was still gloomy here. She couldn't feel the lives of these palace maids, but she understood everything from their faces and eyes, first hope, then despair, then numbness, and finally turned into a puppet.
"You two think what's wrong with this, haven't you gotten used to it?" The eunuch surnamed Gao in front had already walked some distance, and looked back at the two of them.
It's no better here than outside, and if he doesn't have him by his side, a person gets lost and walks to another portal, and is discovered, he will have something to do with not being able to eat.
Although the emperor's family does not live here, and the central departments do not work here, these palace maids are still the emperor's women, and they are all registered. Even if the emperor has long forgotten them, he must not let other men get involved.
Besides, he is taking off his coat to Xiao Nier, he has already adapted to it, which is due to the internal skills he has practiced, although it is a doctor's health preservation skill, but the cultivation is a pure yang body, which is also an immortal method of immortal cultivation, but it is simplified to a set of health preservation exercises.
Moreover, she can resist Xiao Nier's temptation many times, and even if she is close-fitting, she can still keep the bottom line, and this set of exercises has also played a role. Before the body is fully developed, this set of exercises is able to instinctively resist the affairs of men and women.
