The Forbidden City was built in the fourth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, based on the Nanjing Forbidden City, and completed in the eighteenth year of Yongle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In general, the Forbidden City is a rectangular city, 961 meters long from north to south and 753 meters wide from east to west, surrounded by a 10-meter-high wall on all sides, and a 52-meter-wide moat 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 Forbidden City was once known as the first of the five largest palaces in the world, the others being the Palace of Versailles in France, Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom, the White House in the United States, and the Kremlin in Russia.

The Forbidden City, which Qin Zhiyuan once visited, is a huge museum, because there are many tourists, and the Forbidden City is not short of funds, so the renovation is naturally perfect.

But when the time goes back to 1920, the Forbidden City still looks majestic from the outside, and if you look at it from a distance, it is full of royal majesty, but if you look closer, the Forbidden City is a huge dilapidated courtyard, and its degree of decay is similar to that of the Qing Empire, which has collapsed.

According to the "Preferential Conditions of the Qing Dynasty" signed by Pu Yi and Yuan Shikai, the title of Qing Emperor still exists, and the Republic of China treats foreign monarchs as gifts; and the Qing Emperor's annual use of 4 million taels was allocated by the government of the Republic of China; At the same time, the guards were retained as usual; The deacons in the palace may be retained as usual, but no eunuchs shall be recruited; The original Praetorian Guard was established by the War Department of the Republic of China, and the number and salary were still the same.

This provision looked really good, guaranteeing part of the power of the little emperor, but also restraining it, so the Empress Dowager Longyu at that time approved this agreement, and then Emperor Xuantong officially abdicated.

The "Conditions for Preferential Treatment of the Qing Family" is indeed written in black and white, but whether it will be strictly implemented in accordance with the provisions of the "Conditions" after it is signed, it is not up to the little emperor.

Anyway, according to Qin Zhiyuan's knowledge, it seems that the 4 million yuan a year has never been enough.

After all, the Aixin Jueluo clan still has private property, and the little emperor's food, clothing, housing and transportation have not been discounted much, but when it is enlarged to the entire Forbidden City, it is impossible to repair and maintain it.

The Forbidden City is a wooden building, these buildings look good, and maintenance also requires a large amount of money, and it has to be maintained every year, which makes the current Pu Yi definitely unable to pay it.

So the ruin of the Forbidden City can be imagined.

From the beginning of entering Tiananmen Square, the "Imperial Road" in the middle is still clean, but the road is already overgrown with weeds on both sides, even more lush than the flowers and plants in the garden, if you look at the buildings again, it is even more dilapidated, are some wooden buildings, originally gold powder jade leaves bright colors, now the color falls off and mottled not to mention, some palaces that are a little farther away actually have a small area of collapse, and even the main buildings on the central axis have wild grass on the roof, which is simply a tyrannical thing.

Faced with this situation, Xu Shichang didn't know what to say, so he could only flicker vaguely and vaguely.

What is there to say, the Forbidden City in front of you is similar to the Republic of China under Xu Shichang, full of holes and chaos.

"It's a pity, if you make this a museum, attract ordinary people to come in, charge a certain fee, and then use that money to renovate it, maybe it's a virtuous circle." Qin Zhiyuan couldn't help but give advice.

No matter how you look at it, the Forbidden City is a treasure of the Chinese nation, and Qin Zhiyuan can't bear to watch the Forbidden City go into such a dilapidated state.

"Alas, Your Majesty doesn't know, how easy is this, now the former Qing Emperor is still living in the Forbidden City, you have also seen the situation just now, our people don't have the right to enter and exit here at will, and if they want to turn this place into a museum, I'm afraid it won't happen overnight." Xu Shichang also has his own difficulties.

"Hehe, it's just the former Qing Emperor, can you still let him live here all the time? He is only 15 years old, and if he is allowed to toss the law like this, it is estimated that in a few years, these palaces will be reduced to a pile of ruins. Qin Zhiyuan is not worried, even if Qin Zhiyuan does not add oil and vinegar now, in a few years, Pu Yi will be driven away by Feng Yuxiang.

Not necessarily, Feng Yuxiang's expulsion of Pu Yi occurred during the Second Zhifeng War, when the two warring parties were Cao Kun and Zhang Yuting of the Feng line, and the cause of the war was the civil strife of the Beiyang government, which was also the result of the accumulation of contradictions for a long time.

If Qin Zhiyuan is not mistaken, he should be fighting the first Zhifeng War now.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhiyuan suddenly realized that because of his appearance, the process of the Republic of China has also changed, and now that Cao Kun and Zhang Yuting have not fought, then there may not be a second Zhifeng War.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhiyuan's heart suddenly felt a sense of responsibility, some things need to be promoted by someone after all.

"I guess it won't take that long." There was obvious hesitation in Xu Shichang's words.

Xu Shichang is already 65 years old this year, although he looks like he is in his prime, but after all, he is old, and he may not be able to afford to get sick at any time. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Xu Shichang's body has always been tough, it is estimated that Xu Shichang will not be able to consume Pu Yi, who is still a hairy boy, maybe Pu Yi will be driven away from the Forbidden City in the future, but no one can guarantee that Xu Shichang will be able to see it.

"I have a case here, last night, I sent to Hankou people in Pinghan Station to get a few people, it is said that they are the stewards of the palace of the prince of alcohol, these people are going to Jinmen, with several large boxes, after inspection, those boxes are all filled with literati calligraphy and paintings, antique cultural relics, preliminary statistics, there are Wu Daoxuan's real ladies' pictures, and there are blue and white porcelain vases of the Yuan Dynasty, which are all national treasures." Qin Zhiyuan lost no time in breaking the news.

"This, how can there be such a thing?" Xu Shichang was inexplicably surprised.

Xu Shichang is the "President of Wenzhi", he is very clear about the value of these antiques, and he has a hobby for literati calligraphy and painting beyond ordinary people, when he heard the words "Wu Daoxuan", Xu Shichang was suddenly shocked and angry.

"Wu Daoxuan" is Wu Daozi, even in the 21st century, there was no authentic trace of Wu Daozi found at that time, which shows the rarity of the world.

Well, in the 21st century, there are a lot of artworks on the market that claim to be Wu Daozi's authentic handwritings, about hundreds of thousands of pairs, and you know with your heels that if you buy a pair of Wu Daozi's authentic works for hundreds of thousands, then you can make thousands of times more profits by selling them.

"Yes, and it is said that it is not an isolated case, that gang often goes back and forth between the capital and Jinmen, and each time they carry a few large boxes, and then the boxes disappear when they return, and this has been going on for a long time." Qin Zhiyuan didn't mind taking the opportunity to take eye medicine.

"Damn, how can this be? How can this be? Xu Shichang muttered to himself, and the pain in his eyes made people feel compassionate.

Regardless of where those things came from, such a large-scale transfer of property must be abnormal, and Xu Shichang can almost confirm that many of them must be from the Forbidden City.

How many cultural relics are in the Forbidden City, the Beiyang government is not clear at all.

After Pu Yi's abdication, the Beiyang government asked the Ministry of the Interior of the former Qing government to provide a list of cultural relics in the Forbidden City, but this request was similar to the 4 million yuan annual demerit, and it was never seriously implemented.

So up to now, how many cultural relics are in the Forbidden City is a mystery, and it is estimated that Pu Yi himself is not clear.

One thing is certain, as the current owner of the Forbidden City, Pu Yi has the right to dispose of these cultural relics, for example, when Pu Yi's family came to visit Pu Yi, Pu Yi casually rewarded "points......

It's entirely possible, in the past history, Pu Yi used this method to steal a lot of things from the Forbidden City.

Well, this kind of behavior is indeed stealing, so Xu Shichang will lose his temper.

"This is also normal, when the power is in an unsupervised state, it is almost certain that it will be out of control, if I do it......" Qin Zhiyuan sighed faintly.

"Hmph, they're going to pay the price." Xu Shichang's eyes turned cold, and the gaze he looked at the Taihe Hall could freeze the Taihe Palace.

When Qin Zhiyuan and Xu Shichang were talking, they had already come to the Taihe Palace.

Oh, here is not called Taihe Hall now, but called "Huangji Palace", the hall originally hung with the Qianlong imperial pen of the "Jianji Suiyou" plaque, but was replaced when Yuan Shikai ascended the throne, and now it is missing.

Therefore, standing in the current Imperial Palace and raising his head, he could only see the empty beams, and with the content that Qin Zhiyuan and Xu Shichang had just talked about, it really felt extremely desolate.

"You're King Lanfang?" A somewhat shrill childish voice suddenly sounded.

Qin Zhiyuan followed the voice and looked, he was a young man who was a little thin. This young man is wearing traditional Manchu costumes, followed by two servants who are a little cowering, it is estimated that this young man is in the period of voice change, so the voice sounds a little strange, this young man's appearance is not surprising, that is, the capital of the Chinese, but the expression is a little arrogant, and the standing figure is a little backward, which is a very conceited body posture.

The second middle school boy, Qin Zhiyuan just crossed this term in his heart, and then realized that this was Puyi, the last emperor of "my Qing Dynasty".

Sure enough, with the appearance of this young man, all the people of the Republic of China, including Xu Shichang, the president next to Qin Zhiyuan, all the people present bowed slightly, although they did not shout long live three times in their mouths, but this confirmed Qin Zhiyuan's judgment even more.

Even if Xu Shichang has no real power in his hands, he is still the president of the Republic of China after all, and there is no one who can make Xu Shichang bow except Pu Yi.

"Yes, I am Qin Zhiyuan, the king of Lanfang, who are you?" Qin Zhiyuan did not respect or deliberately derogatory, but answered Pu Yi with the ordinary mentality of normal communication.

Pu Yi obviously didn't have much of an "emperor" frame, and didn't care about Qin Zhiyuan's disrespect, but sighed to himself: "You are so young! ”

Really, let a fourteen or fifteen-year-old little broken child say this, Qin Zhiyuan felt really ridiculous for a moment.
