Li Shi's complaint was quite contrived, and everyone hadn't reacted much, but Chen Wance felt something, and said: "How will Your Majesty deal with this Forbidden City?" ”

The interaction between the two contained a major turning point, the civil and military forces present had followed Li Xi for many years, and suddenly tasted the mystery, Gesang Dunzhu and Long Gaoshan, the two generals, exclaimed at the same time: "Isn't Your Majesty in the Forbidden City!?" ”

Li Xian said: "When the army entered Zhili and surrounded Beijing on all sides, public opinion in the country began to discuss the matter of moving the capital, and many people believed that after the Central Plains was settled in the north, I would definitely move the capital to Beijing, which was also to imitate the move of the capital to Tokyo after the Jiangnan was obtained, and it was also needed to stabilize the hearts of the people in the north. ”

The civil officials are thinking about it, and the military attaches are nodding their heads, that's right, since the Central Plains in the north and the unification of China, it is natural to move the capital back to Beijing, after all, this is the capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the Chinese dragon gas gathers. And this magnificent Forbidden City is where the true dragon son of heaven lives, and the son of heaven of China does not live here, and the orthodoxy of the emperor seems to be almost meaningful.

But after nodding, they frowned again, especially Xiao Sheng and Jia Hao, they all thought of too many practical problems.

"This matter is not only opposed by the people of Jiangnan, but also by the people of Lingnan, and I will not go against this turbulent public opinion and act arbitrarily."

When Li Xi said this again, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but in addition to relief, there was also a strong reluctance, the Forbidden City...... Don't want it?

"But the reason why I am reluctant to settle in this Forbidden City is not only public opinion, but also my ......."

Li Shi stretched out his hand and rubbed the golden luan throne under him, with deep emotion, and it was amazing.

"It's really my fear, I feel like I'm in the devil's cave, and there is a fear that my soul will be taken captive."

He glanced at the civil and military ministers, and the awe-inspiring look in his eyes made the ministers feel very clearly, this is not a metaphor.

"I'll tell you a story, a foreigner's story."

Li Shi, the emperor, has always been a god, and everyone has followed him for twenty or thirty years, and they have all adapted to it. Just listen quietly.

"Once upon a time, there was a demon king named Diaboro......"

As soon as this name came out, everyone couldn't help but laugh, and their eyes focused on the one-armed blue-clothed general in the crowd. It was Hu Hanshan, the governor of the Western Fleet. This guy was harsh on the Spaniards in the Battle of Luzon. When he was in charge of the Western fleet, he was harsh on the Dutch in Ceylon, the Britons and the French in India, and the Spaniards called him "Diaboro", and this name soon spread among foreigners from various countries in the Indian Ocean.

"Don't make noise, don't make noise. Fourth Brother...... Your Majesty hasn't talked about the past for many years. ”

Hu Hanshan whispered, Jia Hao, Wu Ya, Luo Tangyuan and others felt a slight sour heat in their eyes, thirty years ago, His Majesty, who was still the fourth brother, told them about the ancient times under the starry sky, leading them step by step to the present.

Sensing the admiration of these former disciples. Li Xian smiled and nodded, and the others were also absorbed by this emotional exchange, realizing that what the emperor wanted to say was by no means as simple as the story.

"The Demon King has mutilated living beings and brought disaster to the world, and the human world is facing the horror of falling into hell. In order to save the world, the brave men rose up one after another, and fought against the demon king. ”

"The Demon King has the power of hell and is extremely powerful. Countless brave people have been sacrificed, but it still can't be destroyed. Just when everyone thought that the world was going to end, a brave man was born, who was the strongest, noblest, bravest, and most sacrificial of all the brave people with righteousness. He has won the respect of all and has the strength of all in one. ”

"He was so strong that he could challenge the Demon King alone, that day. He went deep into the lair of the Demon King and fought the Demon King to the ground. The sun and the moon have no light, and the last ...... He defeated the Demon King. ”

Hearing this, everyone smiled slightly, it sounds like this demon king Diaboro is the Manchu Qing, and the brave man is their emperor, the emperor who is sitting on the throne of Jinluan at the moment, hasn't he completely defeated the demon king, and returned to Huaxia Langlang?

Before the story was over, Li Xi continued: "The brave dug out the heart of the demon king Diaboro and found a gem, which is the soul stone, which is the source of the demon king's power. The brave man found that the demon king would not die, and destroyed its body, it just went back to sleep in the soul stone, and after the strength was restored, it would find a suitable body to wake up again, and to completely destroy the demon king, it was necessary to destroy this soul stone. ”

"The brave man tried countless methods, but he still couldn't destroy the soul stone, if the soul stone was allowed to survive, the human world would face catastrophe again, and finally he thought of a solution......"

Some people, such as Chen Wance, had twitched the corners of their mouths slightly, apparently having guessed what the brave man was going to do.

Li Xian said: "The brave man decided to put this soul stone into his body, he thinks that he is the strongest will and the most noble person in the world, and he can seal the demon king by himself." Although the cost was extremely high, even if he was no longer human, he was also the most sacrificial man, and he was not afraid to sacrifice himself in exchange for the peace of the world, so he ......"

Li Shi spread his hands and signaled that the story was over, and Gesang Dunzhu was stunned and asked, "It's over?" What happened to that guy? ”

Li Xian smiled and said nothing, Xiao Sheng, Jia Hao, Chen Wance and others sighed in unison: "The brave has become the new demon king." ”

A simple story, but it contains profound meaning, glancing at the awe-inspiring people, Li Xi patted the Jinluan throne again: "For me, this thing, the Jinluan Treasure Palace, and even the entire Forbidden City, is the soul stone. I'm not the brave, and I don't want to be the brave, so I'm afraid. ”

Although the Forbidden City was built in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Emperor was not yet completely dominant, and this magnificent building was still nominally the public instrument of the country. By the time of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Forbidden City had completely prostrate under the Qing Emperor, enveloping the Forbidden City, and the absolute imperial power with the smell of Yidi was scattered throughout China.

Li Shi, the emperor, is not only not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but also the emperor of the Manchu Dynasty, how can this Jinluan Throne, Jinluan Treasure Palace, and even the Forbidden City be his residence?

With such emotion in his heart, Li Xian got up: "Are you here with Lang Shining?" Hurry up and summon ......"

He stretched out his hand and beckoned to the ministers: "Come, come up, let's take a group photo together." ”

Everyone was stunned, what is the emperor playing?

At this time, there were no cameras, and the so-called group photo was a portrait. It's just that unlike ordinary painting, Yinghua Newspaper has developed a fast painting technique, first quickly drawing a portrait, then filling in the details, and finally painting a fixed background, this craft is called taking photos. And when everyone takes a photo together, that's a group photo.

Li Shi stepped on the throne with one foot, and then stood on the ground with one hand, and got rid of the face of a barbarian conqueror: "The Tartars call us the Southern Barbarians, and we will use the barbarians to control the demons." Seal this soul stone once and for all! ”

Xiao Sheng laughed and said, "Your Majesty is the emperor of our Huaxia New Era. How can he once again occupy the throne of the emperor of the old world? This throne has been polluted by the smell of the Tartars, and it can't be kept anymore, and Rong Chen also has a trace of sealing! ”

Xiao Sheng strode forward, and Jia Hao, Wu Ya, Zhang Hanwan, Luo Tangyuan, Wang Tanghe and others hurriedly followed.

The civil servants looked at each other. is at a loss, they still have a trace of the old monarch and minister in their hearts, the emperor is messing around with the military attaché, how can they make do with it.

I heard Xie Chengze say: "The north and the south have changed to a new world, and the new pot is not on the old coffee table!" ”

Xie Bachi read the crooked poem and went to the Dan Majesty. Chen Wance also laughed: "The new world has its own new Jinluan, how can you allow the purple ban to detain the monarch's face!" ”

These two people stepped forward, and other civil officials also hurriedly followed, Bian Shoumin and Lang Shining were outside the hall, and they arrived as soon as they were summoned. There is no room for so many people on the treasure platform, so everyone finds their own position, like the stars and the moon, surrounding Li Xi in the middle, but Li Xi is not Jia Hao Wu Ya. Or Chen Wance and Xiao Sheng, but Gesang Dunzhu and Long Gaoshan, the two shouted that they were the emperor's personal guards for many years, and the emperor's left and right were their private land, and no one else could compete.

The military attachés are stationed at the sword. The toes are arrogant, the civil officials are a little more subtle, the hands are folded, and the civil and military eyes are all inclined at 45 degrees. In addition, the emperor has a mustache on his lips, which is simply a show off of a group of robbers entering a big household. Bian Shoumin and Lang Shining muttered while painting, what should this painting be called? "The Forbidden Purple by the British Monarch"!?

After standing for more than ten minutes, everyone had back pain and leg cramps, Bian Lang and the two applauded, and everyone immediately scattered, but saw a cry on the throne, and a group of civil officials fell into a ball, it turned out that their black yarn and long wings were all wrapped together, and then there was a click, it turned out that the military attaché's military boots stepped on the sandalwood Dan Majesty, and the military attache collided into a pile again.

Bian Shoumin and Lang Shining not only painted a group photo of the monarch and the minister, but another painting in their private collection was also leaked by the descendants after his death, painting the military minister in a mess, and the emperor laughed heartlessly and without image on the stage.

Taihe Hall made a fuss, and then when Li Shi took the ministers to the depths, the awe-inspiring atmosphere in everyone's hearts disappeared, and more and more substituted into the identity of tourists, and listened to Li Xi introduce the background of this palace and pavilion like a few family treasures, like a tour guide, and said that the emperor's memory is really good, it must have been explained by the eunuchs in the palace before, and the emperor never forgot it, who knew that Li Xi was using the memory of later generations to "restore" the Forbidden City seen at this time.

When entering the Palace of Nourishing Heart and "admiring" Yongzheng's office, Chen Wance finally couldn't help but ask again: "What should Your Majesty do with this Forbidden City?" ”

The previous question was about whether to move the capital, and this question was implemented. If you don't move the capital, the huge Forbidden City is thrown here, and it is really inappropriate, just as a northern palace, not to mention the annual expenses, this place is a symbol of the imperial power of the old world, and any chaos will disturb the hearts of the northerners.

Wu Ya said with a dark face: "It's burned!" Demolished! It's all done, in short, you can't keep it anymore! ”

The military attachés applauded one after another, but the civilian officials couldn't do it together.

"I'm not Xiang Yu......"

Li Shi glanced at Wu Ya and burned it down? Put on airs!

"This Forbidden City is the blood and sweat of our ancestors, but we have to take good care of it, do you want to go to the palace...... No, I can't live in such a big place in the north. I will set aside a place for the palace, and then allocate some to the people who study the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the National History Museum and the Hongwen Museum are divided into some places here, so as to think through the era of the Northern Dynasty in China. ”

"From the noon gate to the first three halls, they are all open, open to the people to travel, let them see what the things carrying the imperial power were like in the old world, collect tickets, and subsidize the maintenance of the entire Forbidden City."

It is not a taboo to open the palace of the old dynasty to the people to visit in Yinghua, and the palace of Jinling Ming Dynasty is handled in this way, as for the people to visit the place and the palace is connected, everyone is more accustomed to it. Whether it is in Nanjing Wuya Palace, or in Tokyo Weiyang Palace, outside the palace gate is the Temple of Heaven Square dedicated to the gathering of the people, and the monarch and the people are not separated by the Anglo-Chinese "ancestral system".

"For the rest of the place, you can do Tzu Chi's good deeds, and set up a special committee and bureau for everyone to manage ......"

In just a few words, Li Xi defined the future of the Forbidden City, and the pattern of the Forbidden City that Chinese people would be familiar with in the future came from this: the entire Forbidden City was jointly managed by the Imperial Court, the Two Courts and the Forbidden City Special Bureau, which was formed by the Political Affairs Hall.

In the Qianqing Gate, the Qianqing Palace, the Jiaotai Palace, the Kunning Palace, all the way to the Shenwu Gate, including the Imperial Garden, etc., are divided out, collectively known as Xuyan Palace. It is an imperial property and is one of the emperor's four palaces. Cining Palace and Cining Garden are also royal properties, as the residence of members of the royal family in Beijing, except for the two palaces, they are owned by the state.

From the noon gate to the three major halls, it is open as a scenic spot. Wuying Hall and Wenhua Hall are respectively used as the northern station of the National History Museum and the Hongwen Museum. Backed by the Forbidden City and the historical materials of the north to carry out corresponding subject research, the Yangxin Palace, Fengxian Hall and other places as antiquities and treasures collection.

The South Third House was built as the Huangji Hall to care for the disabled orphans rescued by the Huangji Society, and the East Sixth Palace and the West Sixth Palace were the Yingyi Male and Female Schools. Caring for and teaching orphaned children. The area of Ningshou Palace in the northeast corner is Yingci Temple, and the Yinghua Hall in the northeast corner is changed to the Ming Emperor Heavenly Temple, which is dedicated to the emperors of the former Ming Dynasty.

Being so divided, the rich "dragon energy" that covered the Forbidden City gradually dissipated with the entry of people from all walks of life. And the people who enter the three major halls from the noon gate every day have turned this awe-inspiring and inviolable sacred place into a secular place.

At this time, these plans are still only in the minds of relevant people, and by the placement of the Forbidden City, Chen Wance has thought of more important places in Beijing, especially the nine altars: the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Earth, the Altar of Prayer, the Temple of the Sunrise, the Temple of the Moon, the Tai Sui Altar, the Xiannong Altar, the Silkworm Altar and the Sheji Altar, the reason why Beijing City has become a holy place of imperial power is not only because of the grandeur of the Forbidden City, but also because of these buildings attached to a complete set of imperial rituals.

"The Manchu clan residences and government offices were cleaned up one by one, and the vacated ones were sold to the south as much as possible, and the altars were cleaned up. Turned into a temple ...... heaven"

Li Shi explained one by one that it is really a long way to go to dispel the spirit of the old imperial power in Beijing.

Walking into the Qianqing Gate, a large number of eunuchs and palace maids were kneeling to greet each other, and the mountain shouted long live. Li Shi looked at Chen Wance, which means that these people are solved by you, he neither wants eunuchs, nor does he move the capital. All of these people are to be dismissed. Seeing Chen Wance's bitter face, he knew about these people. Especially the eunuchs in the Forbidden City, it was really a headache to find a place for them.

There was a harem on the left and right and in the depths of the Qianqing Palace, and Li Xi and the ministers were no longer interested in visiting, and they were about to leave, when they saw Fu Heng leading the Niu Colu clan and the Fucha clan over.

"There are not only thousands of concubines and concubines in the Forbidden City, but also thousands of palace maids, the emperor is benevolent and forgives them out of the palace, but they have no other livelihood, ask the emperor to be merciful again......"

It turned out to be a way out, the principle of "Asking for a Manchu Order" is that men are guilty and women are committed, and the concubines in the palace are not only Manchu, but also Han people.

Li Shi said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I, Yinghua Junmin, are jointly responsible, and there are many women's clubs in the Alliance, so I will inform them and let them take care of them more." ”

Seeing that the sad look on the faces of the two women had not disappeared, it was obvious that Li Shi regarded these women as a hot potato and threw them to the women's club where they came from, and the future was difficult to see, Li Xi said again: "In this way, if it is difficult to earn a living on your own, there are countless good men in my Yinghua Army, although they retired due to disability, but they perform their duties in the Temple of Heaven and in the locality, live without worries, and can afford to support people, if they are willing to ......"

The two women said in unison: "Yes, of course I do." ”

In addition to serving people and being served, these thousands of concubines and palace maids have the ability and heart to make a living for themselves, Li Shi let the disabled soldiers take over, from the perspective of the old world, it seems that there is no difference from sending them into slavery earlier. But this is not to treat them as slaves, but to establish a position for them and find a long-term meal ticket, although there are grievances, but it is not abuse. The two women even knew from Fu Heng that the Yinghua retired soldiers were well treated, and it was enough to live a small life, so they were grateful.

Li Shi turned his head and instructed Yang Junli, the deputy governor of the Privy Council: "Inform the Ministry of War, sort out the list of veterans and disabled soldiers, and those who have not yet married a wife and are still humane." Note that we are just pulling the strings, not only to match the age, but also to be voluntary. ”

Li Xi bit the word voluntary very clearly, and the two women breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shi said to them again: "What I said before is still valid, whether it is to marry directly or to let the women's club of the Alliance help you, it is ...... Voluntarily. ”

Outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace, Li Xi and the others were about to get into the carriage, Wu Ya suddenly smiled and said, "In case the Empress Fucha also wants to volunteer, what should Your Majesty do?" ”

Wu Ya is product came out, before Li Xian said beautifully, he didn't treat these Manchurian concubines as slaves and maids, but these concubines hindered their livelihood, but they had to "voluntarily" find Yinghua disabled soldiers to marry, isn't the result still the same?

Wu Ya asked this, but it was just a trick to let the emperor accept the Empress Fucha, wouldn't they, the courtiers, be able to choose the Manchurian concubines they like? Anyway, Emperor Qianlong Hongli was a dead man on his face.

As for whether it is possible for the emperor to accept it, he has accepted Xu Shenggu before, and he is not short of a Manchurian queen......

Li Xian glared at him and said coldly, "When I am a shoemaker!?" ”

Wu Ya's heart was cold, but Li Shi lowered his voice and said: "Don't ask for a name on me, how can I open this door for you?" Won't you lower your body and find your favorite shhh I said it all, it was voluntary......"

Li Xi got into the car, Wu Ya's eyes bloomed with happiness and excitement, he was really stupid! He beckoned to Jia Hao: "Dog, let's go pick a concubine by ourselves!" ”

The queen didn't dare to touch it, even if it was a broken shoe, the qualification to pick it up was still with the emperor after all, but the other concubines were casual.

Jia Hao was very serious, frowning and said, "Be serious!" ”

Seeing that Li Shi had already gotten into the carriage, he whispered: "It's not the two of us......

After a while, a group of civil and military officers gathered, muttering non-stop, and after a while, Fu Heng was also pulled in, and finally, the Niu Colu clan and the Fucha clan presented the harem book with a smile on their faces.

Voluntary, all voluntary.
