Chapter 129: Arriving in Beijing (Second Shift, Asking for Support)

The minister who was subordinate looked at the watch all the way and commanded the pace of the public driver, so as to deduct the time, and at two o'clock, he entered the end gate that was the main gate of the Forbidden City. The Duanmen Tower is mainly a place to store the emperor's ceremonial supplies. The emperor holds a big court meeting or travels, on both sides of the royal road under the city tower, there are various kinds of honor guards, the number is huge, the team is magnificent, from the Taihe Hall to the Chengtian Gate, as long as two Huali. At the same time, the bells and drums on the tower of the end gate and the noon gate sounded in unison to show the supremacy of the feudal imperial power.

And now, too, the emperor's guard of honor, even majestic. In the public car through the noon gate through the Jinshui Bridge into the Huangji Gate, follow the east side of the three major halls, to the left door of the back, the outer court will end here, and then go inside, that is, the "inner court", there is no "inner court walking" messenger, not allowed to enter.

As the emperor, Zhu Youlang is also here to change the soft sedan chair, to the east into the Jingyun Gate, Jingyun Gate is heavily guarded, without the emperor's edict, even the princes and ministers can not enter. This is the gateway to the inner courtyard of the palace.

After Yu Jingyunmen changed Zhu Youlang in the sedan chair, he saw the Forbidden City standing on the Baojin car, and looked at the Forbidden City, even if he was in a dream, he couldn't really see the Forbidden City, and he couldn't help but have a mixture of joy and sorrow for a while, and his eyes were hot.

"I can't imagine it, I can't imagine that one day, we will be able to return to the Forbidden City......"

Zhu Youlang barely held back his tears, said this to himself in his heart, and then smiled with tears in his eyes.

"In the end, the number of qi is in Daming. I should be happy today, yes, I should be happy......"

Only when he entered the temple did he formally salute, and he did not make a number of salutes in a mess. Since Zhu Youlang succeeded to the throne as emperor, in the past ten years, he has basically fled in a hurry, and there are too many painful memories. And now the days of hasty escape are finally over. At that time, under the pursuit of the Manchu soldiers, he was in a hurry like a lost dog, panicking like a fish that had slipped through the net. But now when he "returns" to Beijing, he is swaggering, and his momentum is menacing, which is really a world of difference.

At that time, for Zhu Youlang, his only wish was to be able to live a stable life, to be able to spend his life safely, and even when he was in Zhancheng, because of the comfort there, he had the intention of being able to live in Zhancheng for a long time.

Come back, there is no longer the rush and embarrassment of the year, now there is only the dignity of being an emperor, although he has never been to Beijing, but he still regards this time in Beijing, as "back", because he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he should live in Beijing.

It's back!

Today the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is back!

Hundreds of civil and military officials shouted and embraced, everywhere along the way there were cases to welcome, before arriving in Beijing, the officials, soldiers, and people in Beijing were already looking forward to it, even in the carriage, he could feel the heartfelt welcome of the people, and he even saw through the veil those who saw the holy drive of the Son of Heaven of the Han family, the tears of excitement fell like rain down the people, and the people were looking forward to the return of the Son of Heaven of the Han family all day long.

And on the way back to Beijing, it is really an endless royal style, and there are endless praises of loyal ministers and virtuous people. Thinking of this, Zhu Youlang secretly laughed. And Wang Kun, who was on the side of the public opinion, as the chief eunuch of the emperor's cronies, he also sighed. He never thought that one day he would be able to return to the Forbidden City with the emperor again, unlike the emperor and others, he was an old man in the palace back then. As early as the Chongzhen period, he was already trusted by the first emperor, knew the "story" in the palace, and after fleeing south, he pointed out the instrument note by Zhu Youlang's side, so that Yongli knew how to put on the emperor's posture, so that he could not lose the emperor's dignity. At that time, he never imagined that he would one day return to the Forbidden City.

As the chief eunuch Wang Kun, now also fame and fortune, in the past ten years, he waited with the car, did not dare to have the slightest mistake, more than ten years of birth and death, protecting the emperor, no matter where he was, and tried his best to find some fun for the emperor, and even gave advice to the emperor, and the emperor's concern for the emperor, it is needless to say, so Cixi's trust and praise for Defu are Wang Kun's proud capital. With this experience alone, he was able to stay firmly in the Ouchi.

It's back!

Escape has become a thing of the past, a thing of the past! If it's a passing cloud, why mention it again! Water under the bridge!

Further ahead is the three major halls, the temple base is two zhang high, the hall is one thousand zhang high, the Huangji Hall (Taihe Palace) between the five rooms has been presented in front of you. Zhu Youlang set up the sedan curtain and looked at the majestic hall carefully, his eyes looked a little fanatical, and the whole person was rendered in all this desire. It's just that what he doesn't know is that the Taihe Hall he sees now is not the old Imperial Palace. In that year, Jiashen Tianchang, after the defeat of Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng retreated to Shaanxi, just like the cities he passed, set fire to the Forbidden City of the capital is also among them, if the big Forbidden City is only only Wuying Palace, Jianji Palace, Yinghua Palace, Nanxun Palace, the surrounding corner towers and the Huangji Gate have not been burned, and the rest of the buildings are all destroyed. In the same year, the Shunzhi Emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty went to Beijing and then began to rebuild the Forbidden City. After that, it took 14 years to basically restore the middle road building.

As the emperor, when Zhu Youlang looked at the palace and longed for the power in it, Wang Kun, as an old man in the palace, walked through the Taihe Hall with the sedan chair, and glanced at the hall that had changed its appearance, and his heart suddenly felt sour.

This hall is no longer the old hall of the past......

In fact, along the way, Wang Kun had such feelings, but now, when he looked at the palace that had changed, his heart was even more sour. After the Taihe Palace, it is the middle pole hall of the gilded dome of the square eaves, and the old palace also does not exist, although the name has been changed back to the "middle pole hall" of the Ming Dynasty. But Wang Kun, who saw this scene, felt uncomfortable, so he lowered his head. The sedan chair bearer seemed to understand the mind of the general manager of the king, and hurriedly passed the Jianji Palace, which was renamed from the Manchu Baohe Palace, and walked straight towards the Qianqing Palace, the emperor's residence.

The Ming Dynasty from Yongle to Chongzhen fourteen emperors, all lived in the Qianqing Palace, the name of the Qianqing Palace comes from the "Tao Te Ching", in ancient times the emperor is the Son of Heaven, is the old God, is the representative of Haotian, on behalf of the sky, and the emperor's position is extremely respectful, the only one, is the only meaning of the sky, the rise of the clear air is the sky, the turbidity of the fall is the land, is the dry is the sky, is the meaning of the clear. And in the Tao Te Ching, there is a clear sky, in order to indicate that the emperor is the only and most noble in heaven and earth, his residence is called Qianqing Palace.

The Qianqing Palace has already been cleaned up by the eunuchs, all kinds of utensils are placed neatly, after getting off the sedan chair, Zhu Youlang first glanced at the golden pavilions on the left and right sides of the Qianqing Palace, he knew that the golden pavilion is called Jiangshan Hall in the west, and Sheji Hall is called in the east. The god of the shrine symbolizes that the emperor holds the royal country and the society, which means that the country and the people are safe, and the country is eternal, and it is also called the golden pavilion.

After entering the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youlang, who had been worried, felt a little more stable in his heart, and he raised his head to look at the plaque hanging above the throne in the main hall of the hall, and the plaque said: "Respect for the Heavenly Ancestor".

"Wang Kun, is this plaque there in the old days?"

Listening to the emperor looking at the plaque and asking himself, Wang Kun replied softly on the side.

"Your Majesty, the old slave heard that this is the old plaque found by the eunuchs in the palace, and it is the pen of the high eunuch who was in the palm print at that time, and the book "Zhengda Guangming" originally hung here was the book of the Qing chieftain, which has been put away, but the emperor, the "Monarch Huayi" written by Emperor Gaozu hanging in the Huangji Hall was not found, and it is estimated that it was burned by the thieves ......back then."

Although these things happened after Wang Kun left the palace, when the emperor and others were resting, Wang Kun did not rest, but pulled the eunuch who greeted him and asked the eunuch about the changes in the palace, so as to answer the emperor's questions.

"Monarch Huayi!"

Reading these four words silently, Zhu Youlang secretly said sadly.

"The catastrophe of the world is all the fault of my Zhu family's disdain for my descendants, and it is really the fault of the descendants of the ancestors who caused Gaozu Mobao to be destroyed by the fire, which is really the fault of the descendants......"

Although Zhu Youlang's mouth was full of sin and seemed to be sad, but after a while, the whole person returned to its original state, and Zhu Youlang, who was in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, looked at the palace curiously and full of longing. He even involuntarily recited the original text of the "Tao Te Ching" issued by the Qianqing Palace.

"In the past, the sky was clear, the earth was peaceful, the gods were spiritual, the valley was surplus, all things were born, and the king of Hou was one and thought the world was chaste."

Silently reading the original text of this "Tao Te Ching", Zhu Youlang's face showed a bright smile, he walked towards the dragon chair in the main hall with his feet raised, at this time there was nothing else in his eyes, only the dragon chair, that was his dragon chair, the position of the Ming Emperor.

Who in this world can sit but him?

He is the Son of Heaven!

It's the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

Only he can sit in this position!

Perhaps because of the surging mood, his steps seem a little frivolous, and the steps are only three steps, which are also from the Tao Te Ching, "Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, and three to all things".

When stepping on that step, Zhu Youlang put the smile on his face, he knew that as the emperor, he must maintain the emperor's prestige, and he cared most about the emperor's prestige over the years.

Because of this, his pace is not fast, every step seems extremely calm, every step he takes, he will try his best to show the majesty of the emperor, but he feels that his legs seem to be a little frivolous, and even the strength seems to be slowly leaving his body.

Just when the dragon chair was close in front of him, at the moment when he was about to sit down, the last trace of strength he only felt was withdrawn from his body, and the person also fell down lightly, falling in front of the dragon chair......
