Chapter 220 Accident
"You can shout, can't I hear you?" Yes, this rule was set by himself, and the enforcer cannot be punished for it, but Hong Tao is not determined to give up, and plans to pick a bone out of the egg.

"My slave speaks softly, but the dragon's chant of Long Live Lord resounds through the sky, but it has no effect!" Wang Chengen still calmly stated the reason, and his wording was very particular.

"You're moaning, just say snoring when you snore, where does all this nonsense come from! If you can't wake up from shouting, you can shake it, it's better than washing your face with cold water!" Needless to say, these adjectives must have been taught in the middle school study, and Hong Tao couldn't correct them. , can only find other bones.

"Long live the body of a dragon. How can ordinary people like us touch it so easily? If the king and the father-in-law find out, I'm afraid my skin will be peeled off. Long live the two houses, where are they? Why are they all crowded in the royal palace?" Next to the road?"

Wang Chengen finally figured it out. If he didn't change the subject quickly, he would not be able to escape his guilt today.If the emperor insists on finding out the fault of the young eunuch, no matter whether there is any fault or not, the final result will definitely be that there is.

"On the right hand side are the Zhongfu, Zuofu, Youfu, Qianfu, Houfu, Taichang Temple, General Government Department and Jinyiwei. On the left hand side are the Zongrenfu, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Rites, and behind them are the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry, Qin Tian Jian, Imperial Hospital, and further east is the Hanlin Academy."

A person who likes to be a teacher can put off everything. Answering questions and doubts of others must not be delayed, so Hong Tao got up with a good mood, pointed at every building on both sides of the royal road, and seriously acted as a tour guide.

"The servants of the Hanlin Academy have been there. Next to it are the Luanjia Library, the Imperial Pharmacy and the Jieshen Library...it turns out that the courtiers sit here all day long, so it's not very far away."

Even though Wang Chengen became the emperor's chief attendant at a young age, he was called the little prince in the palace and could walk sideways, but after leaving the palace, he was immediately knocked back to his original shape. He was still an unexperienced young man. , curious about everything I see.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Seeing his face full of excitement, like a little eunuch on a spring outing, Hong Tao became even more depressed.

"Long live my lord, I have long been accustomed to hearing the dragon's roar, and I slept very well!" But Wang Cheng'en misunderstood, thinking that the emperor would continue to bother with the method of waking him up, and his face suddenly turned bitter.

"Aren't you worried about today's events?" Hong Tao had already met Wang An and Zhang Ran before leaving the palace, and he didn't show any signs of tiredness. Could it be that he was the only one suffering from insomnia due to nervousness? They all had excellent psychological quality. This is unscientific!

"...With Long Live Lord here, there is no reason for a mere young man to move around. Long live Lord, don't worry, this slave's archery skills have already reached a certain level. Even if Wang Gonggong and Zhang Zhangyin are not careful, the gecko can kill them all with one arrow. The thief shares his worries with Long Live Lord!"

At this time, Wang Chengen realized what the emperor was talking about. After thinking about it for a while, he still felt that there was nothing to worry about. Even if he planned for the worst, the outcome would still be the same.

"It would be nice if all the problems in the world could be solved by force... I will sleep a little longer and don't mess with that thing in the car. Be careful of accidental shooting!" He watched the little eunuch take out a heavy steel plate pulley crossbow from under the seat. Hong Tao skillfully cocked the arrow and took aim, but Hong Tao was not relieved at all.

The Gekko organization has been established for a year and has achieved good results, further helping him to monitor every move in the imperial city.But no matter how hard they train, how many killing skills they master, and how loyal they are, force alone cannot solve court politics, let alone completely change the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty.

There is a majestic tower at the end of the imperial road, called Daming Gate. It was built after the Hongwu Gate in Nanjing when Emperor Yongle Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing. It was the south gate and the main entrance of the imperial city of Beijing in the Ming Dynasty.Outside the door, there is a couplet written by Xie Jin, a great scholar of the Yongle Dynasty: Sun and moon shine and heaven is virtuous, mountains and rivers make the emperor live.It is surrounded by a small square that is hundreds of steps deep and surrounded by stone railings, which is called Chessboard Street.

When Li Zicheng conquered Beijing, it was renamed Dashun Gate. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it was renamed Daqing Gate. During the Republic of China, it was changed to Zhonghua Gate. It has always been treated as a national gate.

Daming Gate has a total of three doorways, but they are closed most of the year and are only opened during major celebrations. Only three types of people are qualified to use the middle doorway.

The first is of course the emperor, but he cannot leave at any time. For example, Hong Tao can leave at this time because he is going to the Temple of Heaven and the Shanchuan Altar to worship, but he would not be allowed to leave under normal circumstances.

The second is the day of the queen's wedding. The phoenix chariot must be carried in from the middle door, but the prerequisite is that the wedding must be held in the palace.Hong Tao's empress Guo did not enjoy this special treatment. When she got married, the emperor was still the prince and was not eligible to enter the palace through the Daming Gate.

The third one is the No. 1 scholar in the new subject. The No. [-] scholar in each palace examination can wear red and colorful clothes, ride a tall horse, and be led by eunuchs from the main entrance of Daming Gate to the palace to meet the saint, in order to show the importance the court attaches to intellectuals.

This was not only the case in the Ming Dynasty, but also in the Qing Dynasty, and no one changed it no matter how powerful it was.At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi was in great power. She didn't like Emperor Tongzhi's empress Alute very much. She couldn't help but move her hands during a quarrel, and even threatened to depose the empress.

As a result, this daughter-in-law didn't give any face at all. She opened her mouth and said: You are presumptuous. I am the queen of the middle palace who was brought in from the Qing Dynasty by the order of the ancestors of heaven and earth. What qualifications do you have to depose me!
Is Arut crazy for daring to challenge the Empress Dowager Cixi face to face?It's really not the case. No matter how angry the Empress Dowager Cixi is, she can't depose the empress. This is the rule.The queen who was brought in from the Qing Dynasty can be disliked, ignored, or killed with poisonous hands, but she cannot be abolished publicly!

But Cixi was really said to be impatient. She was not a queen who was brought in from the Qing Dynasty. Her honor and status were obviously not as good as those of her daughter-in-law.But she was much more ruthless than Arut, and she finally found a way to kill her daughter-in-law.

It is a pity that this national gate can no longer be seen in later generations. It was demolished together with the Chang'an Left Gate, Chang'an Right Gate, various government offices, Qianbu Corridor and Qipan Street when Tiananmen Square was expanded in 1954.

After exiting Daming Gate and crossing Qipan Street, you arrive at the south gate of Beijing's inner city, Zhengyang Gate, which is also known as the Qianmen in later generations.When Zhu Di built Beijing, there was no concept of inner and outer cities. There was only one city, which was later called the inner city.

But during the Jiajing period, Beijing was overcrowded, and people who could not live in the city spontaneously built many houses in the south of the city, which were both ugly and unsafe.So Emperor Jiajing added an outer city to the south of Beijing with a stroke of his pen, which is a rectangular area from Zhengyang Gate to Yongding Gate in the north and south, and Guangning Gate to Guangqumen in the east and west.

Different from the orderly and solemn inner city, most of the people living in the outer city are traders and lackeys, so the commercial atmosphere is very strong. The area from outside Zhengyangmen to Xianyukou and Langfang Huyang is the most prosperous, with various shops and stalls lined up in rows.
