"That's right, middle-aged people also need entertainment."

The tour guide laughed and said, and then continued to introduce, "The walls of the Forbidden City are also painted with cinnabar. Therefore, it is certain to be poisonous."

"This Forbidden City is the palace of the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Like the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, except for the first two emperors, that is to say, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunqi hadn't built the Forbidden City at that time. The fourteen of the Ming Dynasty later The emperors all lived in the Forbidden City. The life expectancy of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty was also notoriously low, and the premature death rate was also notoriously high, and there were even emperors who were never born.

Therefore, some scholars speculate that this has something to do with the cinnabar-painted walls of the Forbidden City. "

"What about the Qing Dynasty? Didn't Qianlong also live for eighty-eight years?"

Ito Yu was also interested, curious about this statement, and asked with a smile.

"Qing Dynasty, then it's different."

The tour guide was interested in Yuu Ito, and explained with a smile, "There were 12 emperors in the Qing Dynasty, with an average life expectancy of 52 years. The average life expectancy of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty was only 43 years, the lowest in all dynasties, and the average life expectancy of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty was second only to the Han Dynasty. 53 years."

"However, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty did not live in the Forbidden City."

"Where do you live?"

Xiao Ren asked curiously.

"Old Summer Palace."

The tour guide said with a smile, "The Old Summer Palace was built by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and he lived there all the time. He only lived in the Forbidden City in winter. It is better to say that Qianlong lived a long life. Because this emperor is famous I love to play, and the next trip to Jiangnan will be in a few years.

And every time he goes to Jiangnan, he has to repair the Forbidden City.That is to say, paint the wall again with cinnabar, so that even if it is not poisonous, it becomes poisonous. "

"And when the Old Summer Palace was burned, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty had no place to live, so they had to live in the Forbidden City. For example, Tongzhi and Guangxu had to live in the Forbidden City. Both Tongzhi and Guangxu grew up in the Forbidden City, and they both had no children. Son, Tongzhi only lived for less than twenty years."

"Following the Forbidden City, I'm afraid I can't get rid of it."

The tour guide talked eloquently there, but Yuu Ito just smiled.

I'm afraid the reason is not that simple, and the tour guide's statement is just a joke.After all, he is a tour guide, and he is only responsible for speaking vividly and attracting attention.

As for whether it is true or not, it is not that important, as long as the tourists are happy to hear it.

"How? Is there any?"

Ito Yu asked in a low voice to Shinobu in his arms.

"No."

Xiao Ren shook her head, she had already walked around the Forbidden City, and she didn't sense the existence of 'God'.

In other words, the Forbidden City itself has no 'God'.

But there is no need to worry, after all, Beijing is not only the Forbidden City.

"Then how about going to the Temple of Heaven?"

Ito Yu asked.

The Temple of Heaven was the place where the emperors worshiped in the past, and the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties even worshiped the heavens and prayed for good harvest there every year.If there is a place most likely to have a 'God', it is undoubtedly the Temple of Heaven that is most likely.

After all, after at least [-] years of sacrifices, it is not surprising that there are "gods" worshiped by dozens of emperors who are "mandate of heaven".

And this place is not far, just south of the Forbidden City.

"Do not."

Xiao Ren shook his head, pointed to the northwest direction, and said softly, "I think that direction is more likely."

"northwest?"

Ito Yuu paused, it wasn't that he didn't believe Shinobu, but he didn't know any historic sites in the northwest.

"Tour guide, are there any places of interest in the northwest?"

Ito Yu looked at the tour guide on the side and asked.

"Northwest."

The tour guide thought for a while, then smiled, "You should have heard of the word over there, it's Prince Gong's Mansion."

"Prince Gong's Mansion?"

Ito Yuu froze for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

Chapter 004 Guilt

Prince Gong's Mansion, probably not many people know about Prince Gong.

But if you talk about Heshen, it is a household name.

"Heshen was originally an attendant of Qianlong's guard of honor, and Qianlong also favored him. As time went by, Heshen, who was in power, expanded his selfish desires, formed cliques for private interests, and accumulated wealth of billions of taels of silver. Put it in modern times , that is equivalent to trillions of soft girls.

And you must know that the first year of the Qing Dynasty was only [-] million taels of silver.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is rich as an enemy.

However, in fact, Qianlong's purpose of doing this was just to treat He Shen like a pig.Just like the so-called eight great imperial merchants, they stroked the wool over and over again.

However, He Shen's hair only needs to be stroked once.

He Shen was deliberately indulged by Qianlong, who trained him step by step to embark on the road of great freedom.And his use is to act as a white glove to help the royal family accumulate wealth.After the crown prince came to power, he could attack him.That is, he won more than one billion in silver, and gained a reputation for punishing corruption.
