Chapter 5: Palace

In the solemn Guandi Temple, a few locust trees behind the temple have already bloomed, with a faint fragrance coming from the slightest fragrance.

Having just given incense to Emperor Guan, he was walking next to the square in front of the temple. Ye Zhao turned the jade ring in his hand and pondered what happened recently.

This is the Guandi Temple in Rehe Palace, and it is also the only royal Guandi Temple in the previous and current dynasties. Before the New Year, Ye Zhao named Guandi Emperor "benevolence, courage, power, protection of the country, and sincerity to appease the feathers and praise Xuande, loyalty, righteousness, Zhaoli, Shenwu, Guansheng", which is particularly outstanding compared to the representatives of the history.

After meeting Wells in Tianjin, Ye Zhao did not take the train back to Beijing, but instead passed by the capital by land and came to Chengde Summer Resort, which is the Rehe Palace.

I can't go far away, and I always have to walk around the suburbs of the capital. When I live in a deep palace, I am no different from a blind man and a monarch of all dynasties. I rely on officials to pick the information reported to govern the country. Is there little lesson from the heavy lessons of all dynasties?

I thought that when the Government Council really takes on the burden, I will be free and enjoy myself when I travel around the world.

The Rehe Palace had already set up a telegram line, and there was nothing wrong with the capital. Just like, the various machinery and raw materials for the heavy army had arrived in Lanzhou. Harrich's note said that Xia Jieer, the Ordnance Bureau would be able to be built.

"Dadada", the graceful footsteps of the wooden clogs came from behind. Aiyue Yiori, wearing a bright blue embroidered pink kimono, walked to Ye Zhao.

After leaving the capital, I was quite lonely with this beautiful and quiet little promise to follow along. After Iori came to Beijing, I moved into Chuxiu Palace. Near the embassy that was planned to be built in Dongjiaomin Lane, I was also building a Japanese-style villa for Iori, with the overall plan similar to that of Jinling *** Garden.

"Let's go out for a walk." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

Weiyue Yiori didn't know where to go, so Wenwan nodded.

Guandi Temple is in front of the towering main hall, and the palace buildings are not made of bright yellow glazed tiles, but instead of green tiles, which complement the quiet and beautiful scenery, simple and elegant, and full of the majesty of the imperial palace.

In the distance, the houses of Rehe (Chengde) city can be seen faintly.

First there was a summer resort and then there was a Rehe City. During the Kanggan period, the emperor came here to eliminate the Xia Dynasty and manage the government. In order to guard the villa, there were battalions of soldiers outside the villa. Then officers at all levels brought their families to live there. Because there was no war, the soldiers gradually moved their families here. Naturally, people would provide food and clothing services for these soldiers and soldiers to earn money, and Rehe City gradually formed.

However, when Emperor Daoguang came to Rehe once in thirty years, Xianfeng was worried about internal and external troubles, and the six kings and the north and south were in conflict. For decades, Ye Zhao was the first emperor to stay in Rehe Palace.

Following Ye Zhao, there were 500 cavalry of the Royal Guard Cavalry Regiment and 1,500 guards of the Third Battalion of the Royal Guard Shenji Infantry Regiment (formerly Yulin Guard Infantry) and 1,500 guards. Although Shenji Battalion is called infantry, it actually has cars and horses on long journeys. Therefore, it only took a few days to go from Tianjin to Rehe.

After Ye Zhao came to power, he abolished the Rehe Commander's Prefecture and classified the scope of the former Rehe Commander's jurisdiction as Rehe Province, which governs twenty counties including Chengde Department, Pingquanzhou, Luanping County, Fengning County, Longhua County, Chaoyang County, Chifeng County, and Lubei County. There were also seventeen banners, sixteen banners in the inner *** East Alliance, and one banner of the Xiletukulun Lama.

In the important areas of the capital, Tan Zhonglin, the governor of Rehe, was the former Regent's policy owner, and was smart and capable. At that time, he was with the secretary's secretary Ma Deng, the government affairs officer Chen Baozhen, the report official Li Shuchang, and was also called the regent's new four kings.

Wang Jingyou, the governor of Rehe, was demoted to Rehe. There was nothing we could do about this. Wang Jingyou was familiar with the situation. With his cooperation, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort. The various yamen teams could operate normally as soon as possible. In new places such as Jiangbei and Xichuan, the use of officials of the previous dynasty was very common.

There are 5,000 Royal Rehe Brigades organized in Rehe as local garrisons, but there are two infantry regiments of the Royal Army Blue Banner Army stationed in the suburbs of Rehe City. The Blue Banner Army, as the garrison troops in the capital, are stationed in all key areas leading to the capital.

However, the usual defense of the Rehe Palace is in charge of an infantry battalion, which is just to prevent idle people from sneaking into the palace and moving around.

When Ye Zhao arrived at the palace, the Qiaoqi Camp and the Shenji Camp naturally took over the defense and stationed in the palace for four visits.

However, in the report to local officials, including Tan Zhonglin, it was only said that the imperial concubine came to the Rehe Palace to worship Buddha, and local civil and military officials did not need to be seen.

It is not yet determined today. If we hear that Emperor Shengde came to the Rehe Palace, there are countless assassins who followed him, and even formed hundreds of armed forces to attack the palace. It is unknown if we make a lot of publicity and make trouble.

Despite this, Tan Zhonglin and Wang Jingyou came to the palace to kowtow to the imperial concubine and greeted the imperial concubine. They left the capital alone and were guarded by the imperial guards. This imperial concubine must be extremely favored.

Through the yellow curtain, Ye Zhao ordered Yiori to return to the empress, which was considered to be a cover-up of the matter.

A few miles away from the palace are the houses. Now the royal family is stationed in the palace. All the long streets in front of the main gate are martial law, and no one is allowed to pass through.

After walking a few steps on the empty street, Ye Zhao felt it was quite boring. He was about to go to the back mountain to see the scenery, but he heard a woman screaming from the corner of the green wall in front of him, as if there was a crackling sound.

Ye Zhao frowned slightly and said, "Go and take a look."

Deputy Chief of Guards Ulden and Northern Fist Master Ren Qian walked over quickly, while Zhao Kaishan and several sharpshooters followed Ye Zhao.

The guard guards are now quite modern. The Qingmangfang, which is continuous in the south of the street, is the garrison barracks. The alley leading to the main gate of the palace is piled up with sacks and a wooden rack is also placed in a narrow passage in the middle of the sack fortifications. If the inner guard passes, the wooden rack is removed, which is a very modern checkpoint.

At this moment, a woman with cloth skirt was hanging on the willow tree with her hair loose and her face could not be seen clearly. The cloth skirt was stained with blood. Standing in front of her, she was a guard of Shenji Camp. She looked at her shoulder stamp and was probably a captain with a fat face. She was whipping down with a whip.

Weiyue Yiori's maid, Chunhong, was anxious and talking, talking, shocked and scared, forgot a few simple Chinese words she had learned.

Seeing Ye Zhao and Aizuki Iori, Chunhong hurried over and said something to Aizuki Iori anxiously.

Over there, Ulden briefly asked the captain of the guards a few words and came back to report.

Chunhong is one of the youngest maids in Jinling. She was the best at talking to Aiyue Yiori, so she became Aiyue Yiori's close attendant, and her name was given by Gong Zhengruyi.

The new dynasty palace maid has a Gong Zheng who is in charge of all matters in the palace. Ruyi Ren Gong Zheng, the fourth rank and the head of the four maids.

There are also Shanggong, Shangyi, Shangfu, and Shang food, each of which is divided into the affairs of the palace. The fifth rank is the one who is auspicious, lucky, lucky, and treasure.

There are also sixth-rank Siwei, Wanshi, Rouwan, Yiwan, etc., seventh-rank, eighth-rank, ninth-rank Zhenrong, cautious, diligent, etc., until the unqualified palace servants, there is no need to make detailed statements.

Ruyi was originally Ye Zhao's maid, so she was naturally the leader of the four maids. The matchmaker sent Ruyi back to Beijing when it was cold outside the pass, and was named the palace chief. He commanded more than 2,000 palace maids of all sizes. He was unparalleled in power. As a maid, he would be considered a perfect merit. If he changed the previous dynasty, even the favored concubine would have to curry favor with her. After all, she was the same as the chief supervisor of the palace maid and the chief supervisor of the eunuch. It was actually not easy to make the emperor hate a certain concubine.

Chunhong and Weiyue Yiori talked for a while, Weiyue Yiori briefly told Ye Zhao.

Today Chunhong led a palace maid to buy local specialties in Rehe City. Although it was Weiyue Yiori's order, it was actually Ye Zhao's instructions. When she came back, she met the whipped woman, a basket of fruits, saying that it was Chengde's local early peaches. Chunhong naturally wanted to taste it for her master. The woman said that she could squeeze peach juice, which was different from other families' techniques. Chunhong then excitedly led her back to the palace. The one who was with Chunhong was a Han maid who knew the rules, but she was jealous of Chunhong being favored in front of her promise and did not say it out loud.

The previous few checkpoints were fine, but the last checkpoint was searched very strictly. Chunhong and the palace maid had waist cards, but the woman had to be searched all over her body. However, after all, the new dynasty trend was full of female soldiers who searched her body.

Who knew that the woman was found a dagger from the meat sticker. What a great deal? The captain of the guard immediately hung her up and whipped her hard. If he could torture her, it would be a magical skill.

After listening to Aiyue Yiori's words, Ulden added that the matter gradually became a rough vein.

"It shouldn't be an assassin?" Ye Zhao frowned and walked over. It was very confidential for him to come to Chengde. Moreover, he really wanted to assassinate him. What's the use of such a weak female rogue carrying a dagger? And she was just a gift for peaches and couldn't see her at all.

At this time, the captain of the guard had already stepped aside. The woman had been removed from the tree and lay motionless on the ground, apparently fainting.

"Wow" a bucket of cold water was poured down, but it was Ulden.

Ye Zhao looked at him helplessly. Although the dynasty has changed, the old traditions cannot be changed overnight, and his subordinates may not be much smarter.

In addition to the military intelligence department, the atmosphere of torture and forced confession to set up a private court has to be changed. As the royal guard, we must set an example.

"Moaning", the woman gradually opened her eyes, and a bucket of cold water made her look real. Although there were blood marks on her face, she could tell that she was a pretty young woman with a cloth skirt soaked in her graceful figure.

"I'm not an assassin!" Seeing a handsome boy in front of her, she felt panicked, and sat up and moved back a few steps, but her face was determined and unyielding.

Ye Zhao walked and looked at her, "What name are you calling? Why do you want to assassinate the imperial concubine with a dagger in the palace? No need to look at it, now I have the final say."

When the young woman heard this, she saw that the young man in front of her was a reasonable person, so she turned over and kowtowed and kowtowed, "Master, please make the decision for the people's daughter! The surname of the woman is Zheng, and is from Shipanzi, Mulan Weichang. The woman's family is killed by the bully Zheng Sanzi! The woman came to the palace to sue the imperial concubine. The woman's knife was used to defend herself. Zheng Sanzi's people were everywhere, and he was full of evil deeds! Please make the decision for the people's daughter!" As she said that, she kowtowed with anger.
