Chapter 16 Inner Palace Tour
Chang Yu, who had sharp eyes, immediately noticed the abnormality, and looked up, only to see that it was five or six eunuchs shaking their heads and leaning against the corner of the wall to bask in the sun, looking at Chunxiang and the others with disdain.
"Aren't they?" Chang Yu immediately thought of something, because this place was too close to the yamen of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.
"Forget it, don't look for trouble, you just ......" Chunxiang just persuaded something, but saw that Chang Yu had already walked over to the eunuchs.
"Of the Imperial Horse Guard?" Chang Yu walked up to a few people and sneered.
"Why did you drop your grandson, looking for a scene?" Among them, the tall fat eunuch said viciously.
With a mouth, you know that this person is not a good stubble, a gangster among eunuchs.
"Do you know who I am?" Chang Yu still sneered
"I know what's wrong, you are all from the Imperial Horse Supervisor, you still dare to beat our family" The tall fat eunuch said with a provocation close to Chang Yu's face, and several companions around him also came around.
Poof, bang. Chang Yu lightning punched the opponent's temple, and the thing immediately fell straight to the ground, and the surroundings were suddenly surprised.
"The Imperial Horse Supervisor is amazing, dare to call him a master if he hugs the thighs of a few guards? Don't you know that Lao Tzu is the celebrant eunuch, don't you know that Lao Tzu specializes in beating up the guards! Chang Yu yelled, and of course he didn't forget to bring out his latest shield.
Sure enough, the signboard of the celebrant was very useful, and a few of the original imperial horse supervisors wanted to swarm up and beat them, but when they heard this, they were a little overwhelmed, and they looked at each other in a daze.
"Take out five taels of silver to apologize, or choose to be beaten by me!" Chang Yu looked at a few people.
"If you have the ability, you can fight" a humane, the onlookers couldn't help but smile, the typical money is shameless, and the mouth is hard!
"Give me a pump, two slaps per person!" Chang Yu looked back at Chunxiang and Jiang Quandao.
"Also, forget it......" Chunxiang was a little stumbling!
"Go!" Chang Yu interrupted him with a loud roar, his face solemn and angry.
Chunxiang was taken aback by him, and hurriedly walked towards a few eunuchs from the Imperial Horse Prison, Jiang Quan next to him reacted faster, rushed over and slapped a few people, snap, snap...... There was a crisp slap at the scene.
Chang Yu's eyes were cold, eunuchs are just slaves who are used to it, lack of toughness, they don't even dare to beat people, and they still expect to kill people in the future to defend themselves? It seems that there is a need for some targeted training.
After an episode, Chang Yu came to the master of ceremonies to officially report to duty, and Wang Lian enthusiastically arranged a dormitory supervisor for him when the leading party again led the way, and he was the same dormitory supervisor as him.
Chunxiang and Jiang Quan left the celebrant under Chang Yu's advice, and when he had nothing to do, he chatted with Wang Lian in the dormitory.
Wang Lian asked questions like a curious baby, of course, he couldn't get around the fight between Chang Yu and the guards. Chang Yu also answered almost all questions, and told him that on the way to the celebrant just now, he also beat up a few eunuchs from the imperial horse eunuch.
Fuck, such a dick, this kid is really good at pulling tiger skins, Wang Lian admires it and makes him rest assured, the celebrant beats a few splashes to see whose face is not successful, not to mention that the other party hugs the four guards of the guards, even if there is a certain concubine as the backstage, how can it be dropped, who has the big one in the background.
"Princess, our family has been in the palace for a short time, since I came, I have only done some chores in Shangshan Prison every day, I am not afraid of your jokes, the inner palace has only been in twice, and I have only gone to the prince's mansion, the harem has not yet stepped into a step, when will I send an errand to our family into the harem for a long time."
In fact, in Chang Yu's memory, the little eunuch should have gone to the harem, otherwise he would not have knocked over a concubine's food box and been punished with a rod, but this memory was too vague, and since he crossed over, he really didn't enter the harem, and he became more and more curious.
"What's so difficult about this, if Grandpa Chang wants to go, our family can take you over for a stroll now," he said, and got up and motioned for Chang Yu to go with him.
Ah, Chang Yu was stunned: "Let's hear that only those on duty can enter the palace, and they are not allowed to ...... at will."
Hey! Wang Lian rolled his eyes: "That's other yamen, but our ceremonial supervisor is different, as long as the huge palace is not a forbidden area, you can go anywhere, this is the only one in the Internal Affairs Office, otherwise how could so many people squeeze their heads and come in?" ”
"Yes, yes," Chang Yu nodded and followed Wang Lian, who looked proud, out of the door.
The two walked out of the celebrant and walked south, and along the way they met some eunuchs and palace maids who greeted Wang Lian from time to time, and it could be seen that although this person was not a power eunuch, he also had some prestige.
The master of ceremonies is not far from the Xuanwu Gate, and the Xuanwu Gate is the back door of the harem, that is, the north gate.
Dozens of guards stood guard at the gate of the city, and Wang Lian swaggered in without even showing his waist card, it seemed that it was a regular customer who brushed his face.
Entering the Xuanwu Gate far away, you can see a large hall in the south, although you don't see the plaque in the north and facing south, Chang Yu also knows that it is the Qin'an Palace, which belongs to the imperial garden building in the harem.
After all, it is a palace, there are too many buildings, and you can see the high platforms and thick pavilions, the pavilions, row upon row, and you don't know where you are.
Fortunately, there is a good tour guide Wang Lian, who took Chang Yu into the imperial garden and explained: "On both sides of the Qin'an Palace, there are five east and west, the west five are where the little prince lives, and the east five are the Ruyi Pavilion, the antique room, the four depots, the longevity pharmacy and the worship room...... Hey, that's not right, Father-in-law Chang, didn't you say that you didn't come to the harem, but when we cleaned up, we were all in this worship room."
"Hey, I was hit with a board some time ago, and I lost my memory a little, and it seems that there was only one time...... What kind of temple is that up ahead? Chang Yu hurriedly changed the topic.
"There is Kunning Palace in front, where is the residence of the queen, let's bypass some" Wang Lian led the way: "There are six palaces on the east and west sides of this Kunning Palace, which are the residences of the emperor's concubines and ......concubines."
This Chang Yu knows that this is the three palaces and six courtyards that the folk say.
"Which palace does the princess live in?" Chang Yu suddenly asked.
"Princess Zhaoren still lives in the Zhaoren Hall in the northeast corner of the Qianqing Palace, and Princess Changping is in the Shouning Palace on the west side......"
Chang Yu's heart moved.
The two walked along the east side of Kunning Palace and looked at the flowers in the south, chatting while walking, Chang Yu was dazzled, until he saw a row of low houses on the east side and was stunned: It turns out that the imperial kitchen is here.
If Shang Shanjian is the palace canteen, mainly open to eunuchs and palace maids and guards, then the imperial kitchen is a private kitchen, only to provide food for the emperor's family, in addition to the royal family can not eat the same pot with the slaves, that is, at night the harem gate is closed, if the royal family wants to eat, Shang Shanjian can't send it in.
However, in the late Ming Dynasty, when Chongzhen reduced meals and withdrew music to save expenses, the imperial kitchen was only open to the emperor and queen, and the general concubine meals were provided by Shang Shanjian, which was also the time when the little eunuch Changyu would enter the harem to deliver food.
Continuing to walk south, suddenly there were more guards around, all of them were tall and round, and they were extremely powerful, Wang Lian whispered: "There is the Qianqing Palace in front, let's go around a little farther ......"
Just when the weather was good and the sun was warm, Chang Yu followed Wang Lian to browse left and right in the harem, during which he met some palace maids and eunuchs and even some concubines in the garden from time to time, and life was peaceful.
Separated by a wall of two worlds, the water outside the wall is in dire straits, and the walls are full of laughter and laughter, they never dreamed that the royal inner garden, which had taken several generations of painstaking efforts, would be burned to ashes by thieves two months later, and only four palaces and a few corner towers were spared.
The harem was too big, and the two of them only walked around once, and the sky was already dark.
"Let's hurry out, the palace gate will be given the key immediately, if you can't get out, it will be miserable" Wang Lian's footsteps were a little hurried.
"It doesn't matter if you can't get out, right, let's rest in the harem, right?" Chang Yu asked.
"The harem is different from other places, after dark, there shall be no other adult men except for the emperor, and no one other than the ministers of the interior and the eunuchs on duty in the palaces shall not stay in the palace, if we are discovered, even if we are the celebrants, we will not be spared."
Chang Yu nodded and followed Wang Lian's footsteps to speed up to the south, because they were entering from the north gate, and at this moment they were closer to the south gate, that is, the Qianqing Gate.
At this moment, the guards around the Qianqing Palace had withdrawn, and the two followed the guards to the Qianqing Gate, Chang Yu couldn't help but look up, and the lights were already bright.
Emperor Chongzhen should be on the top of the burnt now!
Chinese people have a misunderstanding that the emperor always thinks that the emperor sees hundreds of officials in the court and discusses the Jinluan Palace (Huangji Palace, Taihe Palace, Taiji Palace, the three halls have different names, which actually refers to the same building) In fact, it is not, but in the first gate of the harem, the Qianqing Gate, which is often said to listen to the government, and sometimes the incident will suddenly be in their own bedroom Qianqing Palace deliberations.
There were people standing outside the Qianqing Gate, eunuchs, guards, and many people in official uniforms who were in a hurry, but Chang Yu didn't know any of them, but from the expressions of these people, it seemed that Chongzhen and his cabinet were on the verge of collapse.
I don't know if the news came, when he walked out of the Qianqing Gate, Chang Yu looked up at the towering city gate again, and saw nothing except the big lantern hanging on it.
Out of the Qianqing Gate, the two went east through the Donghua Gate and went straight to Shangshan Prison for dinner, Wang Lian accompanied Chang Yu to the Yamen Inner Mansion to meet Liu Zhangyin and said a conversation, although he jumped ship and left, but the scene on his face also had to go down, and he left without saying a word, that is not a man, leaving a line in everything, and seeing each other in the future.
After bidding farewell to Liu's palm print, Wang Lian proposed to take Chang Yu to gamble twice, saying that it was the plate that the celebrant watched, and the game was big!
Chang Yu was puzzled that this guy had been walking around with him for a whole afternoon, didn't he need to do something?
Nodding his head in agreement, it's not that Chang Yu is good at gambling, but he needs silver, a lot of silver, no matter when and where you want to establish your own power, only fists are not enough, the so-called one hand with a big stick and one hand of silver is the best combination of punches.
He now needs a lot of money to buy people's hearts, pull over power, and open up some joints.
However, at this time, there was still some time before the opening, Chang Yu found an excuse to leave and returned to Shang Shanjian's original dormitory, and Chunxiang and the others had already finished eating and were waiting for him.
