Beijing, Forbidden City.

When the first rays of morning light shine through the mist and fall on the golden-tiled red-walled palace, this ancient, mysterious, and decaying forbidden city once again begins a cycle of days after days, year after year, as if it never changes.

Five years ago, the boots of the British and French coalition troops broke through the ancient imperial capital, but the Forbidden City, as the face of the Qing Dynasty, was finally preserved under the mediation of the devil six.

Living in the Forbidden City,

As soon as the gate is closed, you will not be able to see the ruins of the Old Summer Palace.

As soon as the gate is closed, you can't see the smoke everywhere in China, and foreigners are rampant all over the world.

But......

I can treat foreigners as ancestors for the Qing Dynasty, pay New Year's coins, buy Yang'an, and everyone should treat it as if nothing happened.

But in the face of that Da Ming, things are completely different.

In the Forbidden City, the Ming Dynasty, or the Ming Dynasty, is a forbidden word.

It was an unspeakable and terrible demon who had been reincarnated from the abyssal filthy earth and asked for his life.

Everyone knew that he was alive, that he existed, that he would come, but no one dared to mention him.

·

At about 6 o'clock, a little eunuch dressed in green cloth but lined with silk brocade, carrying a lantern, hurried towards the West Sixth Palace.

On the way, he met the middle-aged eunuch of his former boss, but he didn't look at it, he was just busy hurrying.

"Phew, Li Jinxi on the dog day, hasn't he become a big celebrity in front of Xigong Niangniang? Shake what shake! Wait for that...... So who sharks come in......"

"Shhhh Grandpa Wei said cautiously! ”

"Hmph, I'm afraid that the fight will be too much, let's serve Ci'an Niangniang, isn't it better than Li Jinxi in his dog days?"

"How can we be slaves who are qualified to say this, Grandpa Wei, let's continue, continue, deal with Ci'an Niangniang's night primrose and talk about it......"

……

Li Jinxi in the mouth of the middle-aged eunuchs is actually an eight-sided and exquisite character on weekdays, although he secretly laughs at those stupid dicks who can't see the situation clearly, and think that the east and west palaces are respected, oh no, stupid and stupid, but the number of etiquette in person is readily available.

Otherwise, he would not have won the favor of Cixi, and in the future, he would even break the royal ancestral system of "eunuch grades limited to four grades", and be named the chief eunuch of the second grade, commanding all the eunuchs in the palace.

That's right, Li Jinxi is Li Lianying. Don't look at the old photos of later generations, Li Lianying and Cixi, two old things, are so ugly that they cry ghosts and gods.

But now in 1865, the young woman Xingzhen, who was just 30 years old, was still a little beautiful, and 17 years old.

and Li Lianying, who is only 2 months older than His Majesty Fugui, was also born with red lips and white teeth, and is handsome with 0.1‰ of His Majesty Fugui.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to enter Xingzhen's eyes.

In fact, Xingzhen fled from Rehe 5 years ago, and among the few people around her, there was Li Jinxi, who was only 12 years old.

Later, Xianfeng returned to heaven, Xingzhen became the queen mother of the West Palace, took him back to Beijing, and renamed him Lianying, which can be said to be the henchman of the henchmen.

So now, although Li Lianying's grade is not high, no one dares to stop her from entering and leaving the West Palace.

He carried a lantern through the corridor and alley, came to Chuxiu Palace, and just carefully pushed the door open, Cixi's lazy voice sounded inside:

"Little Lizi, didn't you go to court yesterday? The mourning family (the mourning family is a folk apocryphal name, Cixi should call herself at this time, and follow the flow here) made an appointment with the courtiers at noon, and invited the opera troupe of the pear garden to sing in the afternoon, and now I am a little tired, and I don't want to move. ”

Li Lianying knelt on the ground, grabbed the ground with her head, and hurriedly said: "I don't dare to disturb the master's tranquility, but the matter that the master asked the slave to investigate before has already been seen, and the slave didn't dare to delay, so he came to report to the master!" ”

He said, "Oh, you have a heart, wait for the mourners to get up!" ”

Li Lianying originally relied on the skill of serving people, and since she was present, the matter of waiting for Cixi to get up was naturally not fake.

He first opened the blackout curtain, and then knelt down and shouted: "Good luck master!" ”

Then put on plainclothes and slippers for Cixi.

At this time, the little eunuch outside had already brought hot water towels.

Li Lianying first waited for Cixi to take medicine, then measured the temperature of the water with her little finger, and used a hot towel to maintain Cixi's hands.

Then Li Lianying washed Cixi's face again, which was also so cumbersome and complicated.

After washing, Li Lianying lit a large backdoor cigarette from the south for Cixi to relieve her sleepiness.

Then drink some milk tea to make it appetizing.

Next it's time for breakfast.

At this time, Cixi was not the Lafayette who would monopolize power and have a solid position in the future, so she was still relatively frugal.

She only ate more than 30 dishes at breakfast, at most one small bite of each item, and no matter how delicious it was, she stopped eating it.

On the contrary, it was the big back door cigarette, which she held in her mouth, one after another, and smoked very comfortably.

Historically, Cixi smoked opium.

But that was in her old age.

In the early years, Cixi also resisted the smoking of the bannermen.

However, when she was in her 60s, she didn't know where to get a home remedy, and used big tobacco to cure dysentery, and immediately announced that people over 60 years old could smoke opium and it was not prohibited.

So by mistake, Daming's export cigarettes have become Xingzhen's biggest boudoir joy in these years.

I finished half a pack of cigarettes and ate breakfast.

At this time, Li Lianying used a unique technique to comb Cixi's hair and massage it with a grate, and at the same time, the palace maid dressed Cixi in the formal dress of the empress dowager, and finally put on a headdress.

At this point, nearly two hours have passed.

Li Lianying began to report while rubbing her shoulders and back.

It turned out that the thing Cixi told him to do was nothing else, it was to find a way to go to Fusang to buy "Daming Times".

There are always people who feel that the Manchu court is unwilling to open its eyes to the world, which is not right or wrong.

Kangxi is an honor student in mathematics and other subjects.

Yongzheng is a cosplayer.

Qianlong was a lover of Hanfu.

Kangxi's Jiu Ge was a standard linguist, who made Latin and Manchu interoperable, and also innovated the way Manchu was written.

From the late Ming Dynasty, they used to understand a lot of the authority and supreme wisdom of holding the empire, but only that.

Because these are just personal hobbies, nothing more than obscene tricks, all their attention is on beware of the Han Chinese.

The essence of the Manchu government was reactionary, opposing social development and scientific and technological progress.

The more they understand the power of science and technology, the more they want to advocate the unparalleled kung fu of the Eight Banners ancestors.

Because technology can be monopolized by non-flag people, but riding and archery can.

In order to prevent the Han people from coming into contact with science and technology and developing science and technology, they were stunned to blow their ancestors who started with heavy infantry and pacified the world with red-coated cannons into Genghis Khan-style light cavalry, and even their own descendants believed in it.
