Enjoying the prosperity of the capital in the 17th century, Gao Jingfei turned to the west of the city and entered the Forbidden City through the Xihua Gate.

The reason why he didn't go to the main gate of the noon gate was because it was the center of the imperial court, and high-ranking officials from all sides gathered, and the power of the dynasty order was the strongest.

Choose Xihua Gate because Xihua Gate is a relatively deserted door in the Forbidden City, the desertion here is relative to the east of the rich merchants and the south of the market is lively, said that there are few people in fact, there are a lot, after all, most of the Beiping Xicheng is the home of the powerful, in the apocalypse, this capital has been in the later generations of "the south is poor and the north is cheap, the east is rich and the west is expensive".

The original words are: "The east is rich and the west is noble, the south is cheap and the north is poor, and the tea in the south is water in the north city". In fact, this proverb can reflect the living conditions of the old BJ people living in the old society.

After a cursory walk, Gao Jingfei found that the so-called "rich in the east and expensive in the west" roughly means that there are many rich and noble families in BJ Dongcheng and Xicheng, while "poor in the south and poor in the north" is generally that there are more poor and lowly families among the residents of Guide City and North City.

In fact, relatively speaking, most of the Nancheng during this period were ordinary people, and various ethnic groups were mixed, most of them were engaged in manual labor, but they were also more humane, and it was common for neighbors to help them.

The Qianmen Street in the north city is mostly gathered by the three religions and nine streams, bustling and full of people who eat mixed rice, the eight alleys of the "famous" in later generations are here, and most of the people here are also engaged in teahouses, theaters, technical institutes, head shaving, pedicure service industries, these are all lowly industries in the eyes of the ancients, so there is that kind of saying.

The reason why I say this is mainly because there are many old and small warehouses in Dongcheng, and I think there were only thirteen warehouses in BJ Castle back then, and Dongcheng accounted for as many as seven. In addition, there are many merchants gathered in Dongcheng, and pawnshops, money houses, and gold and silver shops are basically gathered here, and from this point of view alone, the statement of "Dongfu" is also valid.

As for Xigui, it means that the people who live in Xicheng are either rich or noble, and palaces and official residences can be said to abound. Of course, that is talking about the middle and late stages of the Later Jin Dynasty and the old society, but at this time, there was already a corresponding pattern at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Second, Gao Jingfei's choice of Xihuamen was also due to luck.

Needless to say, it is a symbol of the highest power of a country, Donghua Gate is the place where the imperial examination is called, and it is close to the East Palace of the Prince, Shenwu Gate goes to the meaning of the four spirits Xuanwu, and it is the gate behind the imperial city, which is a place with strong luck or dense personnel.

In contrast, Xihuamen is the most nonexistent of the four gates, although there are many mansions of high-ranking officials and magnates, but the flow of people on the street is not as good as the north, south and east, and the street is also wide, the house is deep, it is very convenient for practitioners to cast spells and stealth and sneak, of course, the premise is not to be suppressed by the national fortune of the dynasty.

Therefore, Gao Jingfei walked all the way around the Beijing Division, and then sneaked into the Forbidden City from the Xihua Gate, without alarming anyone at all in the process, except for the moment when he entered the Imperial City, the luck dragon above lowered his eyes slightly and glanced at him, but he didn't feel malice, and he withdrew his "gaze".

Speaking of the Forbidden City, Gao Jingfei is not very familiar, although he has been to his parents once, but after the reconstruction of Houjin and the repair after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is still quite different from the appearance of the Ming Imperial City at this time, of course, the general outline is still about the same.

But he didn't need to recognize the path, he just needed to see the strongest Qing Qi of the Qi Luck Dragon Pillar, which must be the location of the emperor of the current dynasty.

What's more, the cyan dragon qi was accompanied by a red gold majestic luck that was blue in the middle of the red gold, which allowed him to accurately identify the location of the target.

Not long after, Gao Jingfei came to a palace courtyard, and saw a big umbrella in the courtyard, and a white-faced young man wearing a light red robe embroidered with a dragon on it sat on the chaise longue and was a little unrefreshed.

On the other side, there is a tall man who looks quite mighty, wearing a light green plain dress of silk material, this green plain clothes are silk in summer, and dark silk silk clothes in winter, which are generally worn by eunuchs when they encounter the big sacrifice day or repair the province, and in the year of the Apocalypse, most of the eunuchs have disregarded the old system, and choose true green, oil green yarn instead of green pigment, which is lined with jade pigment yarn, and the end is "dazzling, competing for praise, and taking the beauty as the beauty." ”

But this person is just wearing a simple green plain clothes, looking simple and unusual, but his person has his own majesty.

I saw him say softly:

"Emperor, it's another letter to impeach Sun Gaoyang for risking the army's salary!"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse, who was wearing regular clothes on the chaise longue, waved his hand when he heard this.

"I still know the virtues of my teacher, so let's stay in the middle and don't send it!"

Seeing the sky wearing bright yellow is the nouveau riche habit that will only have after the Jin Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and before, the emperor generally wears Xuan and red color every day, even if the crown of the Great Dynasty, it is not every dynasty is bright yellow, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty prefers light yellow and bright yellow.

It's only strange that Zhao Kuangyin, Chen Qiao's mutiny, and the allusions to the yellow robe are too famous, plus the folk drama texts all say so, in fact, throughout history, most of the emperors of ancient dynasties did not wear yellow dragon robes.

This rule was not until the Ming and Later Jin gradually appeared, Ming Taizu Lao Zhu was the first emperor to add a dragon pattern to the yellow robe, and the yellow dragon robe was truly inseparable from the image of the emperor.

It's just that although the ban on the use of yellow in the Ming Dynasty was also stricter than that of the previous dynasties, as in the previous dynasties, the emperor had different colors of robes when participating in various occasions, and in general, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty wore black robes more than yellow dragon robes.

The yellow dragon robe in the impression of later generations was completely determined only when it arrived in Houjin. Even in the post-Jin period, the yellow dragon robe really became the emperor's first choice for public appearances on formal occasions, but it was common to prepare blue and black dragon robes to wear on some specific occasions.

Gao Jingfei, who learned about this at that time, couldn't help but secretly scold the film and television drama production team for not paying attention, and the service was not rigorous at all and did not conform to history, all in order to make quick money.

Know how to understand!

Hearing that the emperor said that he would not send it in the middle, the plain-clothed man pursed his lips slightly when he heard this, and he was still a little disappointed in his heart, and casually threw the book in his hand into a vermilion lacquer wooden barrel on the side, which already had a bunch of the same kind, obviously ready to be shelved or invalidated.

I want to say a word here, modern people listen to the emperor's office and feel that they are looking at the ministers to write the folds, in fact, the folds, excerpts are the names that only appeared in the Later Jin Dynasty, the ancient court documents, the Han etiquette, there are four products: one is a chapter, two is a play, three is a table, and four is a discussion.

In terms of function, the chapter is grateful, the performance is impeached, the expression is presented, and the discussion is disagreed.

There are also Shangshu and Song Shu, which are opinions for the courtiers to make separate statements to the emperor.

This year is the fifth year of the Apocalypse, and Guo Xingzhi wrote to the ministers of the court to discuss the question of Sun Chengzong's stay, but in fact, many people have already impeached Sun Chengzong, the governor of Liaodong, saying that he risked the army's salary.

On the Donglin Party side, because in April of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Wang Wenyan, a member of the Donglin Party, took bribes and accepted bribes, and the case was discovered.

Wei Zhongxian took this as a breakthrough and arrested Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong, Yuan Huazhong, Zhou Chaorui, and Gu Dazhang to prison, and later killed six people in prison, known as the "Six Gentlemen" at the time.

At this time, the Donglin Party was panicking, and there were also those who tried to rescue the six gentlemen, and they and the pragmatic Sun Chengzong both belonged to Donglin, but they were not all the way, so there were not many Donglin Party members in the court to support Sun Chengzong.

On the contrary, Cui Jingrong, the official secretary of the ministry, chose to support Sun Chengzong, and Zhu Youxiao still trusted this teacher who taught him, so he issued an edict to let Sun Chengzong continue to supervise Liaodong, but in the will, Sun Chengzong was allowed to reduce his military salary.

There is really no money in the court, and the emperor is also very helpless, and the family wealth left by Wanli Ye has been consumed by the three major levies, but in fact, the royal treasury is not as rich as people think.

If it weren't for the fact that the Apocalypse appointed the factory guard to inherit his grandfather's method of collecting mining taxes and merchant taxes, I am afraid that the Apocalypse Dynasty would have taken a few years earlier, and the tea tax of a province during the Chongzhen Dynasty was only collected dozens of taels of silver!

The plain-clothed man picked up the next notebook at this time, glanced at the content slightly, and suddenly a smile appeared in the corner of his eye.

"Emperor, it is Li Lusheng's transcript given by the military department, impeaching Sun Gaoyang for building the defense line of the Ling River, which costs the people and money, and cannot be sustained!"
