Chapter 254: Giving the Concubines Courage
Before leaving for Shengjing, the emperor buried Yun Hui in the tomb of the Duanhui Emperor in the cemetery of Princess Gulun. According to the practice of the Qing Dynasty, the princess who died young would not have a title, and the mausoleum was also placed separately.
But the emperor made an exception this time, and Yun Hui's funeral was comparable to that of the prince.
At the beginning of May, the emperor and queen and hundreds of officials accompanied them, and the infantry battalion opened the way, taking the third elder brother Yongzhang, the fourth elder brother Yonghui, the fifth elder brother Yongqi, the sixth elder brother Yongying and other royal relatives, and the guards sounded the gong along the way to open the way, and went to Shengjing, Liaoning.
In the first year of Shunzhi, the Qing army entered the customs and officially set the capital in Beijing.
Shengjing was made to stay in the capital and was regarded as the city of the rise of the Qing Dynasty.
The holy car arrived at the Shengjing Imperial Palace, Yingyun entered from the Daqing Gate with the emperor, as far as the eye could see, the wide square was neatly kneeling with the officials who greeted the car, and with a covered mountain shout, the two passed through the Chongzheng Palace.
This imperial palace embodies the efforts of two generations of Qing Taizong Taizong, especially during the Taiji period of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, and reached the peak of its prosperity.
Yingyun walked step by step, as if the grand occasion of the past was still faintly visible, and her ears seemed to hear the iron hooves of the Eight Banners trampling on the conquest, it was an era of iron-blooded horses.
Passing through the Chongzheng Palace, there are two attics on the left and right, called the Flying Dragon Pavilion and the Xiangfeng Pavilion, and then passing through the second fast on the first floor of the middle courtyard, you will arrive at the Qingning Palace where the emperor and queen sleep.
Qingning Palace is located in the north of the central axis, and the palaces such as Ju Palace, Lintoe Palace, Yanqing Palace, Yongfu Palace, etc., are built on the left and right, which are now empty and deserted, but at the time of Huang Taiji, this is the place where the concubines gather lively.
The front and back corridors of the main hall are hard mountain type, the top of the hall is paved with yellow glazed tiles and cut edges, the front and back are square eaves columns, the column head is decorated with animal faces, the sandalwood fang is painted, and the palace gate also erects the "Sauron rod" used to worship the sky.
The Manchu people believed in shamanism, especially in the early Qing Dynasty, the dormitory and religious sacrifices were connected together, and the sacred drums, bronze mirrors, drumsticks and other ritual instruments were placed in an orderly manner one by one.
The huge palace is very quiet after nightfall, and even has a somewhat eerie feeling, and the candlelight is cast on those magic masks, which is very scary to look at. Ranwen
If Yingyun were to live here alone, she would definitely not be able to rely on it.
Fortunately, with the emperor as his company, I slept next to him for a long night, so I wouldn't think about those bizarre things.
The two were lying on the bed, and the emperor noticed that she always came over intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "The queen is empty, but she came to squeeze me, is it because she is afraid?" ”
Ying Yun said boldly: "The concubine is not afraid, that's because the bed board inside is too hard." ”
"Oh!" The emperor answered, sat up, and said, "Then let the queen sleep here, and I will go next door......"
Yingyun grabbed him and said, "I'm asleep, don't get up and toss." ”
The emperor couldn't help but laugh and said, "If the queen is afraid, admit it, and I won't make fun of you." ”
Ying Yun took his arm and fell asleep, and said helplessly: "Okay, the concubine feels that she is lying here in a panic, the emperor, your heroic and righteous spirit, give the concubine a strong courage." ”
The Emperor smiled and lay down with her fingers clasped together.
In fact, the Manchu people attach great importance to religion, the Kunning Palace of the Forbidden City is modeled after the pattern of the Qingning Palace, the sacrifice is connected with the dormitory, the Kangxi Dynasty is still the queen's dormitory, but in the Yongzheng period, it was gradually separated, and it became a place dedicated to worshiping the gods.
And the queen's bedroom was moved to the east and west six palaces.
Yingyun secretly rejoiced that she didn't have to go to live in Kunning Palace, otherwise she would definitely lose sleep every night in the face of these godly chattering things.
