The solemn Guandi Temple, a few acacia flowers behind the temple have bloomed, wafting a faint fragrance.

Just after giving incense to Emperor Guan, pacing beside the big silk in the square in front of the temple, Ye Zhao turned the jade wrench in his hand and pondered about the recent events.

This is the temple of Emperor Guan of Rehe Palace, it is also the only temple of Emperor Guan in the previous dynasty and this dynasty, years ago, Ye Zhaofeng Emperor Guan was "benevolent, brave, mighty, protective, protect the country, protect the people, sincerely appease Yuzan, Xuande, loyalty, righteousness, Zhaolie, Shenwu, Guan Sheng, the Emperor", than the previous dynasties commendation.

After meeting Wells in Tianjin, Ye Zhao did not take the train back to Yanjing, but traveled overland to Chengde Summer Resort, which is the Rehe Palace.

I can't go far away, I always have to take a walk in the suburbs of Beijing, I live in the deep palace, I am no different from a blind man, no different from the monarchs of the past dynasties, relying on the information that the officials have picked and reported to govern the country, and there are still few tragic lessons in the past dynasties?

pondering, when the Government Council really picks up the heavy burden, he is idle, and when the time comes, he will travel the world, and he will be happy.

The Rehe Palace has already set up a telegraph line, and there is nothing to do in the capital, just like that, all kinds of machinery and raw materials for heavy escort have arrived in Lanzhou, and Harwich's excerpt said that in the summer, the Ordnance Bureau will be able to be built.

"Da Da Da", there was a beautiful footstep sound unique to clogs behind him, and Iori Reed, who was wearing a bright blue embroidered pink flower beautiful kimono, walked to Ye Zhao's side.

Out of the Beijing Division, there was this beautiful and demure little promise to follow along the way, but it was not lonely. After Yi Zhi came to Yanjing, he lived in Chuxiu Palace, and near the embassy that was planned to be built in Dongjiaomin Lane, he was also building a garden-style garden for Yi Zhi, and the overall planning was similar to that of Jinling.

"Let's go for a walk." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

Iori didn't ask where to go, and nodded gently.

In front of the main hall of Guandi Temple, which stands majestically, the palace building does not use bright yellow glazed tiles, but uses green tiles instead, which complements each other with the quiet beauty, simple and elegant and full of the majesty of the imperial palace.

In the distance, the dwellings of Rehe (Chengde) City can be faintly seen.

First there is a summer resort and then there is Rehe City, because the emperor came here to spend the summer during the Kangqian period, in order to garrison the villa in the villa there are battalion soldiers, and then officers at all levels bring their families to live, and because there is no war, the soldiers also gradually move their families to this place, naturally, there will be people to provide food and clothing and other services for these soldiers to earn silver, and Rehe City is gradually formed.

However, when it came to Emperor Daoguang, he would come to Rehe once in 30 years, Xianfeng was worried about internal and external troubles, and the dispute between the north and the south of the six kings, for decades, Ye Zhao was the first emperor to come to Rehe Palace to stay.

Following the maintenance of Ye Zhao, there are 500 cavalry of the Royal Guard Xiao Cavalry Regiment, and 1,500 guards from the three battalions of the Royal Guard Shenji Infantry Regiment (formerly known as the Yulin Guard Infantry).

After Ye Zhao came to power, he abolished the Rehe Prefecture and divided the scope of the original Rehe Prefecture into Rehe Province, with jurisdiction over 20 counties including Chengde Hall, Pingquan Prefecture, Luanping County, Fengning County, Longhua County, Chaoyang County, Chifeng County, and Lubei County, and 17 banners, a total of 16 banners of the Inner Mongolia East Second League, and one banner of the Xile Tukulun Lama.

Gyeonggi Heavyland, since it is not trivial, Rehe Governor Tan Zhonglin, the former head of the Regent Palace's policy house, shrewd and capable, that year with the secretary of the secretary of the office Ma Deng, the government affairs officer Chen Baozhen, the reporting officer of the official office Li Shuchang, and called the regent of the new four King Kong.

Wang Jingyou, the political envoy of Rehe, was demoted to Rehe, which could not be helped, Wang Jingyou was familiar with the local conditions, and with his cooperation, the local purge would get twice the result with half the effort, so that the various yamen groups could operate normally as soon as possible, and the phenomenon of using officials from the former dynasty was very common in the newly conquered places such as Jiangbei and Xichuan.

There are 5,000 members of the Royal Rehe Brigade as a local garrison, but there are two infantry regiments of the Royal Army's Blue Flag Army stationed in the suburbs of Rehe, and the Blue Flag Army is the Gyeonggi garrison, which is stationed at every choke point leading to the Beijing Division.

However, the usual defense of the Rehe Palace is responsible for an infantry battalion of the Rehe Brigade, which is just to prevent idle people and others from sneaking into the palace and passing things.

When Ye Zhao arrived at the palace, the stilt battalion and the Shenji battalion naturally took over the defense and were stationed in the palace.

However, in the palace report to local officials, including Tan Zhonglin, it was only said that the imperial concubine Niangniang came to the Rehe Palace to worship the Buddha, and the local civil and military did not need to be visited.

If you hear that Emperor Shengde has come to the Rehe Palace, I don't know how many assassins will follow him, and even form an armed force of several hundred people to storm the palace.

Despite this, Tan Zhonglin and Wang Jingyou still came to the palace to kowtow to the imperial concubine Niangniang, went out of Beijing alone, and there was a forbidden army to escort her, this imperial concubine Niangniang must be extremely favored.

Through the yellow curtain, Ye Zhao ordered Yi Zhi to return to his mother, which can be regarded as covering up this matter.

A few miles away from the palace, it is a private residence, now the royal family is stationed in the palace, and several long streets in front of it are all under martial law, and no one is allowed to go along.

After walking a few steps on the empty long street, Ye Zhao felt bored, and was about to talk about the scenery of the back mountain, but he heard a woman's exclamation from the corner of the green wall in front of him, and there seemed to be a crackling sound.

Ye Zhao frowned slightly and said, "Go over and take a look." ”

The deputy head of the guard, Ouerden, and the Northern Fist Grandmaster Ren Qian hurriedly walked over, while Zhao Kaishan and several sharpshooters followed behind Ye Zhao.

Nowadays, the guards are also quite modernized, the green wall house courtyard in the south of the street is the garrison barracks, this alley leading to the main gate of the palace is piled up with sacks, and there are wooden shelves and barbed wire fences across the narrow passage in the middle of the sack fortifications.

At this moment, on the willow tree in front of the sentry post, there was a woman in a cloth skirt hanging, her hair was scattered, she couldn't see her face clearly, and the cloth skirt on her body was drawn out of blood.

The maid of Weiyue Iori, Chunhong, was full of anxiety, babbling something, shocked and frightened, and had long forgotten the few simple Chinese words she had learned.

Seeing Ye Zhao and Wei Yue Iori, Chunhong hurriedly ran over and said something anxiously to Wei Yue Iori.

Over there, Uerden briefly asked the captain of the guard, and came back to say goodbye.

Chunhong is one of the little maids in Jinling, and she can talk to Wei Yue Iori the most, and she has become Wei Yue Iori's close attendant, and the name is given by Gong Ruyi.

The new dynasty palace E, there is a palace zheng, in charge of all matters in the palace, is the four products, the head of the four maids, Ruyi Ren Gongzheng.

There is also a Shang Palace, Shang Yi, Shang Fu, and Shang Shi, who are in charge of the affairs of the palace, and are five products, which are appointed by auspiciousness, fortune, and treasure.

There are six grades of Si Bed, Wan Shi, Rou Wan, Yi Wan, etc., seven grades, eight grades, nine grades of chastity, prudence, diligence, etc., until the palace people without grades, do not have to be detailed one by one.

Ruyi was originally Ye Zhao's roommate, naturally the head of the four major maids, the matchmaker was cold outside the gate, so she sent Ruyi back to Yanjing, and was named the palace official, commanding more than 2,000 palace maids of all sizes, with unparalleled power. If it is a change of the previous dynasty, even if she is a favored concubine, she will have to be scolded, after all, she is equivalent to the position of the chief of the palace maid and the chief eunuch, and it is not easy to make the emperor hate a concubine.

Chunhong and Wei Yue Iori talked for a long time, and Wei Yue Iori simply told Ye Zhao.

Today, Chunhong led a palace maid to Rehe City to buy local products, although it was ordered by Weiyue Yizhi, in fact, it was also Ye Zhao's instructions, and when he came back, he met the woman who was whipped, a basket of fruits, saying that it was a local early peach in Chengde, Chunhong naturally wanted to give the master a taste, and the woman said that she would squeeze peach juice Yunyun, which was different from other methods, and Chunhong led her back to the palace. With Chunhong is a Han maid, who knows the rules, but is jealous that Chunhong is favored in front of the promise, and she doesn't say anything.

The first few checkpoints are fine, but the last checkpoints are searched very strictly, Chunhong and the palace maid have waist cards, but the woman has to be searched all over her body to her feet, but after all, the new dynasty is in the atmosphere, and there are female soldiers who search their bodies.

Who knew that the woman had been searched for a dagger from the place where the flesh was attached, and this was worth it? The captain of the guard immediately hung her up and whipped her severely, if he could torture her, it would naturally be a miracle.

After listening to the words of Wei Yue Iori, and Urden added, Ye Zhao gradually had a general context of what happened.

"Probably not an assassin, right?" Ye Zhao frowned and walked over, his own visit to Chengde was extremely secret, not to mention that he really wanted to assassinate himself, what was the use of such a weak female stream with a dagger, and it was just a gift of peaches, so he couldn't see his face at all.

By this time the captain of the guard had already stepped aside, and the woman had been untied from the tree and lay motionless on the ground, apparently fainting.

"Wow" a bucket of cold water was splashed, but it was Urden.

Ye Zhao glanced at him helplessly, although the dynasty has changed, the old tradition cannot be changed overnight, and his subordinates may not be smart.

In addition to the military intelligence department, this practice of extorting confessions by torture and setting up private courts must be changed, and as a royal guard, we must set an example.

"Huh", the woman gradually opened her eyes, a bucket of cold water, so that she showed her true face, although there were blood marks on her face, but it could be seen that she was a very delicate young woman, the cloth skirt was soaked, revealing a graceful figure.

"I'm not an assassin!" Seeing a handsome and compelling young man in front of her, she panicked, sat up and moved a few steps back, but her face was resolute and unyielding.

Ye Zhao paced and looked at her, "What's your name?" Why do you bring a dagger to the palace, do you want to assassinate the imperial concubine? Don't look at it, now I have the final say. ”

As soon as the young woman heard this, she saw that the young man in front of her was a reasonable master, so she turned over and knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Master, please let the master be the master of the people's daughter!" The people's girl's surname is Zheng, she is a stone piece person in the Mulan paddock, and the people's daughter's family was killed by the bully Zheng Sanzi! The people's girl came to the palace to complain to the imperial concubine, the people's girl's knife is used for self-defense, and Zheng Sanzi's people are everywhere, and he is full of evil! Please let the master call the shots for the people's daughters! As he spoke, he kowtowed angrily.
