Chapter 2191 Flower Struggle (Ninety-nine)

Dominoes were produced around the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, so they are also called "Xuanhe tiles" or "Xuanhe teeth tiles". Sichuan tiles, which are popular in Sichuan, are a variant of dominoes. Sichuan tiles are made of paper, and "

Although "Mahjong" is similar to dominoes and also has "tubes", the rules are completely different from dominoes, the number of tiles is much more, and it requires four people to play, which is inconvenient.

There were also pai gow players in the palace, mainly eunuchs. After the lessons of the Qing Dynasty, the eunuchs in the Qing palace were basically illiterate. They had almost no other pastimes except eating, sleeping, and serving. Also because Wei Zhongxian and his guests

Sir, don't even think about eating with the palace maid.

Gambling can not only pass the time, but also bring excitement and excitement, but gambling without playing money is not satisfying. At the beginning, you bet a small amount of money, but later on, you bet more and more, and you will owe money.

Regarding gambling, the palace has a strict "code" - the "Current Rules of the Imperial Palace" to regulate eunuchs. Eunuchs are not subject to the laws of the country. The department that specializes in dealing with them is called the Jingshifang, which is affiliated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Anyone who commits a crime for the first time

Yes, he was put in the yoke for two months, with a heavy responsibility of forty boards, and was sent to the imperial mausoleum as an errand. Those who committed the second offense were hanged and awaited in prison. This was mainly because the palace officials borrowed loan sharks at usury outside, and then the debt collectors came.

The gates of the Forbidden City have just stopped, and there are people who secretly steal things from the palace and sell them outside. These are not things piled in the warehouse and left to rot, but are used by people. For example, a concubine who is not favored

The emperor has not been to her for a long time. What is the use of having such beautiful vases in her residence?

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were so powerful that they could directly ask for bribes, but the eunuchs of the Qing Dynasty did not have the courage. There are many "miscellaneous silver shops" outside the Di'an Gate of the Forbidden City. Compared with the front door of the "Zhengyang Gate", Di'an Gate is commonly known as "

"Back Gate", the palace servant Sulla and the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs all entered and exited through Di'an Gate, and they had to pass through those "miscellaneous silver shops". Moreover, there were time limits for palace people to go out and they were not allowed to go to many places.

Or there was no extra place to stay, so the Di'anmen area became a place for the palace people to sell off their stolen jade furnishings.

The Zasak County Prince's Mansion is just north of the alley on Taiping Street outside Di'anmen. Sangzhai Dorji and the young prince were in Kulun when the smuggling case occurred. After the incident, he and the young prince were imprisoned in this house.

If you don't want to be imprisoned and die like Yongzheng's brothers, the only way is to find ways to get out of trouble. Although Sangzhai Dorji is no longer rich after his house was confiscated, he paid off the loan sharks for several eunuchs so that they would not take such big risks.

It is possible to steal things from the palace and sell them despite the risk.

Playing cards together can also enhance "friendship". Some of the chief eunuchs will also participate. "Shuda" will also "pass by" the prince's palace when he leaves the palace. No matter how tight the time is, he can still find time for a cup of tea.

It is impossible for a person who originally took this path to have anything to do with a famous official like Ji Xiaolan. He was a Jinshi in the 19th year of Qianlong's reign. The policy exam he took at that time was about water control issues in the Yellow River Basin, because in those years the lower reaches of the Yellow River were

Floods occur frequently.

But he also participated in the revision of Sikuquanshu, and Yongrong served as the president. If Juren had not read those memorials, he would not have known that this matter was related to a memorial written by the governor of Zhejiang in the 31st year of Qianlong's reign.

The Ming history case during the Kangxi period implicated thousands of people and killed more than 70 people. The initial cause was that Zhuang Tingqin, a blind wealthy man in Wucheng, Zhejiang, wanted to follow the example of Zuo Qiuming, who was also blind in history, and write a history book by himself.

Not only the book editors, but also the engravers who carved the letters were executed, and those who kept private possessions were also questioned and beheaded.

In the 31st year of Qianlong's reign, private compilation of chronicles began to rise again in Zhejiang. This time, unlike the Ming history case, Zhuang Tingqin bought Zhu Guozhen's posthumous manuscript and used the Ming Dynasty era name, but this time those who privately compiled history books consulted

Local History.

Sikuquanshu collects a wide range of books, as you can see from the warehouse of Wenyuan Pavilion. When collecting these books, they were banned and many were destroyed. Most of the unofficial histories are folklore, and their authenticity needs to be investigated. Some people also say that Qianlong

His biological father was not Yongzheng, but Chen Shiguan, Ji Xiaolan’s mentor. After all, Qianlong was born in Yonghe Palace, and there was no royal service room in the prince’s palace, and there was no special eunuch to record records.

Just read the unofficial history. If you don't believe in the official history and believe in the unofficial history, you just don't listen to the official story and listen to the drama. The books Nick got from who knows where are not included in the unofficial history. They can only be counted as miscellaneous history. Maybe it's because of the few books given to him.

I lived in a deep mountain and old forest like Wuyi Mountain, and wrote in Turkish, so I escaped that inspection.

Qianlong was also opposed to the Literary Prison when he first came to the throne. Similarly, Emperor Jiaqing seems to be busy dealing with the problem of the White Lotus Sect and has not bothered with the Literary Prison. If he ever thinks about it...

Every year, the Shangyuan Festival is held in the palace. It is a grand banquet in the palace. Many foreign envoys will participate. However, if there is a lunar eclipse, it must be postponed. The duty of the Qin Tianjian is to calculate whether that day will happen.

A lunar eclipse occurs.

The calendar compiled by Tang Ruowang is very accurate, but how did he die?

The Jin people did not have writing at the beginning. In order to facilitate communication with neighboring countries, they used Khitan script. During the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Jin Dynasty, he ordered Wanyan Xiyin to make Jurchen script according to the regular script of the Han people.

In the official history, Wanyan Xiyin was executed because he was "already treacherous and his heart was without a king." Wanyan Xiyin was also the founder of the "ritual system". The Zhou rites eradicated the Wuxian culture of the Yin and Shang periods to a certain extent, and

Wanyan Xiyin is a firm supporter of shamanism and witchcraft, and he himself also presides over divination.

He is not a shaman. Jurchens have specialized shamans in charge. Most shamans are men. Witches are relatively rare, but they are not uncommon among nomadic peoples. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a "devil dance" was popular in most palaces.

, this is a dance from Nepal. The dancers are all women. They have to wear thin braids, ivory Buddha crowns, necklaces, long and short skirts of red and gold gold, close-sleeved heavenly clothes, and often chant the Diamond Sutra.

Dance the wild goose dance. At that time, the most popular dance was the women of Goguryeo.

Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty started this trend and asked many court dancers to learn the "Tianmo Dance" and asked these dancers to listen to what officials and common people said when they attended family banquets.

This custom still existed in the Ming Dynasty. There is even a legend that Zhu Di's mother, Concubine Ji, was a Goguryeo woman, and Queen Ma was just his adoptive mother.

If there is really nothing to pay tribute to, you can pay tribute to people. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, there were Silla female slaves, in the Ming Dynasty, there were dancing concubines, and in Jiaozhi, there were tribute eunuchs.

These are all acts of subjugation. Fortunately, North Korea did a favor. Their nobles gave priority to "cutting off" beards of beautiful women. The tribute girls became more and more ugly. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was more polite, and Dorgon directly opened the door.

insulted.

In the seventh year of Shunzhi, North Korea paid tribute to a group of tribute girls. Shunzhi was only 12 years old at that time. Dorgon was so impatient that he "personally" ran to Shanhaiguan 200 miles away to pick them up. He opened the curtain and took a look, whipping his whip.

He scolded the North Korean envoy, "The princess is ugly, the maid is ugly, your country has no sincerity at all!" and then asked North Korea to go back and make another selection.

Later, North Korea sent another batch, and this time it was said that they were much more beautiful. However, after Dorgon died, Xiaozhuang returned these "tributes".

The purpose of reciting the Diamond Sutra is to cultivate the immovable mind. After cultivating the immutable mind, even if you cannot achieve positive results, you can still remain "immovable" like Liu Xiahui who is sitting calmly in her arms while looking at those "female demons".

When Sanzhai Dorji was alive, he had dealt with Living Buddha Jebtsundamba, and it was the same when he arrived at Yunduan Dorji. Juren also learned a lot of Buddhist teachings. But for the trouble Nick got into this time, "Buddha" estimates

I'll be pissed off too.

As a young man, it would be too embarrassing to punish him by kneeling down or hitting his palms with a ruler, not to mention that this is not a problem that can be solved by kneeling down or hitting his palms with a ruler.

At this time, it would be great if Juren could recite the Curse like Tang Sanzang. The prerequisite is to have the golden hoop on Sun Wukong's head. Unfortunately, that thing does not exist in reality. It is just a made-up ghost story.

It's just something.
