People from all walks of life gathered in the capital, and the Preparatory Committee for the Chinese Empire issued an announcement that the founding ceremony was scheduled for October 1, when a new head of state would be elected. It is self-evident who the Führer is. Various prominent figures went to the capital one after another to report, and all the work was in full swing, which seemed to be a little chaotic. At this moment, an explosive news quickly spread in Sijiu City. The Forbidden City opened to the public on September 25, when the people of Li came to visit.

The newly published JoongAng Ilbo carried a detailed description on the front page. That is, the Forbidden City is open to the public, and anyone can buy a ticket to visit it, and the ticket price is a dime. The tour is divided into morning and afternoon. At that time, the Guangxu Emperor will perform the ceremonies of the court, so that the people can truly understand the life and mystery in the palace. The new government has set a historical precedent and demonstrated the civilized deeds of the Chinese nation. At the same time, the newspaper also published an editorial written by Deng Zixuan, which clearly warned everyone that by visiting the Forbidden City, we should keep in mind the lessons of history. The so-called emperor is actually an ordinary person, so that the people of Li can truly feel their ordinary???????。

In the palace, the Empress Dowager Cixi heard that she was going to perform in the court, and immediately became angry and said: "It's just a visit, and we actually let us perform in the court, isn't this a monkey to play with people, so humiliating can't be agreed." The princes were silent. A prince said: "Now we are prisoners, what qualifications do we have to talk about shame." If the queen mother is a martyr, why didn't she choose to cut herself when the palace was occupied, so that you can fulfill your name. "You!" Cixi was so angry that her face turned pale, and now an inconspicuous prince dared to accuse him to his face.

Yi 60 stood up and said: "We have no other choice now, the Queen Mother can not go to court when she is old." But Guangxu must go to court. If we don't perform, we'll eat bran vegetables. Commander-in-Chief Deng made it clear that in the future, we will feed ourselves. I did the math, and each ticket was a dime. A hundred people is a silver dollar. We sell 5,000 tickets a day, and we can earn 2,500 silver dollars a month, and we can live well. ”

All the princes talked about it and felt good, but as for the shame Cixi said, no one cared. At this time, one of Baylor asked, "Sixth Prince." How do we perform? "Just like every day in the court, the ministers came forward to report one by one, and the emperor answered them one by one. Then he retreated from the dynasty and the performance ended. "Yi 60 is a little impatient. One of the princes asked again, "What do we say?" Yi 60's eyes rolled and said: "Anyway, it's a formality, you can say whatever you want?" Cixi saw that these gentlemen were full of energy, so she got up angrily and went back to the house.

Everyone is talking, isn't it the court. It's too easy to get to know the road. Many people think it's okay to be idle anyway. It is also a pastime.

"I originally wanted to rehearse it, but since everyone thinks it's easy, let's disperse!" Yi 60 finished speaking, and hurriedly followed Cixi's room. "Queen Mother, do you think I'm willing to do this, I can't help it, let's survive! Put yourself in your shoes, although this Commander-in-Chief Deng hid a knife in his pocket, he did not kill us all, because he should be content. People have to bow their heads under the eaves. You can imagine. Is there a good end for the kings of the past dynasties? ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi sighed and said, "That's it, I won't be nosy in the future." Worship the Buddha and quietly calm this remnant life! Cixi sat cross-legged and closed her eyes. Seeing this, Yi 60 retreated, and then he called Guangxu to the front to enlighten him. The Forbidden City was spotlessly cleaned up by the eunuchs, and the walls were freshly painted. For more than half a month, the Forbidden City seems to have changed.

Inside the Lee Mansion. Deng Zixuan was reading documents under the lamp, and Wan'er approached lightly and casually put a bowl of tea on the table. Hearing the movement, Deng Zixuan raised his head from concentration. Seeing Wan'er looking at herself with a smile and saying, "Is there something wrong?" "I heard that the Forbidden City will open tomorrow, and I want to go and see it. During this time, I only saw the grandeur of the imperial city outside, and the mystery inside was tickling. I heard that the Forbidden City is open for casual visits, and the capital is boiling, and it is simply hard to find a ticket. ”

Deng Zixuan was a little difficult, and it was a little inappropriate to enter the Forbidden City as his wife. Wan'er saw that her husband was embarrassed: "Do you know, the current ticket price has been copied to a silver dollar, and it is still rising." I've got a couple of tickets, and I have to get your permission. I know who you are now, and as a lady you have to be mindful of the influence. Looking at Wan'er's expectant gaze, Deng Zixuan smiled: "Okay! But you have to disguise yourself so they don't recognize you. ”

Wan'er was overjoyed when she heard this, "Don't worry! It won't embarrass you! With a cheerful voice, Wan'er ran out quickly. Looking at Wan'er's back, Deng Zixuan was thoughtful. It seems that the tourism of the capital has taken the lead in opening the curtain, and in the future, with the smooth flow of the railway, rich people from all over the country will flock to it. In the future, the capital will become a holy place for tourism and a standard tourist city, so it is necessary to strictly control industrial development in the capital and create a comfortable and good environment.

At this time, Wan'er entered the room. In the room, Danxia, Biying, Wan'er's daughters Deng Xiuhua and Deng Shuang were waiting anxiously. Seeing Wan'er come in, Deng Shuang quickly came over and grabbed Wan'er's arm and said coquettishly: "Master, the lord agreed?" "Look at you, you're more anxious than me, everyone is ready to go to the Forbidden City tomorrow!" Everyone burst into cheers. "But no one is allowed to wear trendy clothes, I have to dress up in an old-fashioned way, so that outsiders can't recognize me." Wan'er commanded.

Wan'er then said to Deng Xiuhua: "You go and inform Khalid's wife Yao Xi'er and ask her to go with her tomorrow, just so that we have an extra ticket." Xiuhua hurriedly ran out and reported the good news to Yao Xi'er. After breakfast the next day, Wan'er led a few of them to the Forbidden City. Wan'er was dressed as a noble lady in the clothes that women of the previous dynasty often wore and dressed as a noblewoman, and Danxia, Biying, and Yao Xi'er were also dressed as the wives of rich people. Deng Xiuhua, Deng Shuang and others dressed as maids.

In order not to attract attention, they set off at the back door of the Li Mansion. A guard changed into the clothes of the common people and acted as the boss of the car, Wan'er, Danxia, Biying, and Yao Xi'er sat on the caravan, and Deng Shuang, Deng Xiuhua and others dressed up as maids, so they naturally had to go with the car. They carry short guns and act as bodyguards on an improvised basis. Deng Shuang, Deng Xiuhua and others have undergone rigorous military training and are fully qualified for the role of bodyguards.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the Qing Dynasty, there was a sea of people in front of the door. The lady who had a sneak peek at the gentleman was already waiting in front of the door. Ticket sales began three days ago, and there was a long queue in front of the Daqing Gate. It is said that 10 days after the tickets were sold, the tickets for the day had risen to 5 fast silver dollars, and it was still hard to find. Even the poor people who queued up to buy tickets at the beginning may have given away their tickets. Therefore, the first audience is undoubtedly rich.

There are many people in front of the Qing Dynasty, and the capital has not been so lively for many years. Wan'er and her entourage arrived at Daqingmen, and before they got off the bus, someone came up to inquire if there were any extra tickets to sell. The other party can pay a high price to buy. Wan'er heard that the ticket had actually risen to 5 silver dollars, and couldn't help but gasp, it seems that the people in the capital are too rich. You must know that 5 quick silver dollars is equal to a month's salary of a platoon commander of the Wehrmacht.

Wan'er got out of the car and took out her pocket watch to take a look. There is still half an hour before the door opens. "Everyone understands, the official opening at 9 a.m. has an hour of free time. And it is clearly stipulated that everyone enters the palace to visit. Just look at and don't touch anything in the palace. At 10 o'clock in the morning, the ceremony was held in the square in front of the Jinluan Palace. Don't forget the time. The performance lasted for an hour and ended at 11 o'clock, when the morning visit was over and everyone had to leave the Forbidden City. ”

An officer in military uniform stood tall and held an iron horn in his hand and shouted: "The afternoon visit time is from 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock, everyone remember." When the time came, the door slowly opened, and the guests entered in an orderly manner. Wan'er and the others also walked inside with the flow of people. Wan'er and the others didn't pay special attention to their dress, and everyone's thoughts were probably in it. The flow of people walked through the Daqing Gate. And they scattered. Visitors to the Forbidden City can only be entered through Tiananmen Square, and the Wumen, Donghua and Xihua Gates are closed.

The white marble-shaped Jinshui Bridge seems to be beckoning cordially. Greet guests. Crossing the moat and entering the Antienmen, the vision suddenly opens up. The long passage, the wide square, and the front is the Taihe Palace, that is, the Jinluan Palace. It is the place where the emperor gives orders, and its architectural features show the supremacy of the emperor. In the square in front of the Jinluan Palace, a high platform was temporarily erected. It stands to reason that the performance of the upper court should be held in the Taihe Palace. However, the Taihe Hall could not accommodate 5,000 people at a time, so a high platform had to be set up in the square so that everyone could watch the performance of the Guangxu Emperor and the "ministers".

"This is the Jinluan Palace! It's huge! This is where the emperor went to court. Danxia couldn't help but sigh. The white marble steps are so beautiful that they make people dizzy to look at. Biying couldn't help but admire. Deng Xiuhua, Deng Shuang and others couldn't help but make noise. Wan'er said: "There are more than 8,000 houses in the palace, and there are more than 2,000 in the palace alone. If you want to watch it all, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it in a few days. "Mother, you only have an hour to move, what should I do?" Deng Shuang was urgent.

Wan'er smiled: "Pick up the important ones first." We will follow the central axis to see the Taihe Palace, the Zhonghe Palace, and the Baohe Hall of the Outer Dynasty. Then enter the inner court to watch the Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, Kunning Palace, the east and west sides will not be seen, and there will be a chance to see it again in the future. Then we come back here to watch the emperor's performance, which is not to be missed. ”

Climb the white marble steps of the Taihe Hall to enter the majestic hall, the emperor's golden seat in front is very eye-catching, and the light emitted is very dazzling. A eunuch who was specially responsible for introducing the situation of the Taihe Palace, said with a beautiful face: "Welcome distinguished guests to visit the Taihe Palace, this is the place where the emperor ascended to the palace, back then??????。 "The old eunuch had probably been in the palace for many years, and he spoke in a very attractive voice mixed with men and women, apparently rehearsed beforehand.

Wan'er listened attentively to the old eunuch's story, and seemed to enter that long historical atmosphere. Soon, everyone began to browse the brilliance of the Taihe Temple.

Wan'er's eyes were on the couplet. The right gate is: Rili Dan Mountain, the clouds surround the flag and the phoenix feathers, the auspicious purple forbidden, and the people from the long (chang) close (he) dragonlight. The inscription is the left door of the anonymous title Taihe Palace. There are also inscriptions of Kangxi and Qianlong below.

Without waiting for Wan'er to take a closer look, Deng Shuang suddenly exclaimed: "Master, the time is almost up, we haven't even finished reading the Jinluan Palace." Wan'er took out her pocket watch and looked at it, and it was 10 o'clock in a quarter of an hour, and said, "Let's go to the square and occupy a favorable position." ”

Not all people have a sense of time, after all, the first time to visit the Forbidden City, many people forget to return. Wan'er and the others came to the front of the square, there were not many people at the moment, so they chose a vantage point to pause. The crowd gradually increased, probably people remembered the performance of the last dynasty, and this wonderful scene is not to be missed. (To be continued......)

PS: The opening of the Forbidden City to the outside world caused a sensation, and the sightseeing and tourism industry in the capital kicked off.
