Chapter 769 Zhengyangmen

Zhu Hongsan knew Chen Mingxia and what he said to Shunzhi, but he didn't know that Chen Mingxia was executed by his good student Shunzhi in history.

In history, Chen Mingxia was impeached by Ning Wan, because she advocated "to keep her hair and regain her clothes, and the world will be peaceful." Ten days later, Chen Mingxia was sentenced to hang, and his son Chen Yechen was taken to Beijing with a stick of forty and exiled to the Northeast.

In the early Qing Dynasty, a large number of remaining officials in the late Ming Dynasty were used, so there was always a shadow of party struggles in the late Ming Dynasty in the early Qing Dynasty, and it was still "the north and the south are close to their relatives, and each one is friendly to their friends." For example, during the Shunzhi period, Feng Quan and Chen Mingxia fought between the Northern and Southern Party. Feng Quan was originally a eunuch party that relied on Wei Zhongxian, and Chen Mingxia was the descendant of the Donglin Party. As the leader of the Southern Party, Chen Mingxia "he recommended many people in the south and took the taboos in the north." In the early Qing Dynasty, he continued to use old officials of the Ming Dynasty, and the disadvantages of party struggles in the late Ming Dynasty were immediately reflected in the political situation in the early Qing Dynasty.

However, now because Dorgon is dead, Feng Quan and others who are affiliated with Dorgon are removed from office and return home. Chen Mingxia has just occupied the central government by taking advantage of his identity as an emperor teacher, so before the northerners can counterattack, Zhu Hongsan has reached Beijing.

Zhu Hongsan did not ask why Emperor Shunzhi abandoned the city and fled, but said to Chen Mingxia: "Chen Mingxia, you are a left-behind Beijing, take me into the city!"

Chen Mingxia did not dare to delay, so she quickly stood up and led Zhu Hongsan and his 60,000 troops into the city.

This is the first time that the Han people have appeared in the capital in recent years. And the Han emperor has returned. The entire southern city of Beijing is in full swing, and everyone comes out to pay homage to Emperor Shenwu Zhu Hongsan.

The Yongding Gate where Zhu Hongsan entered was the first city gate in the south city of Beijing. The Nancheng was originally a large area of ​​open space. Except for the Temple of Heaven and the Mountain and Rivers, there were a large number of farmland and factories. Before the Ming Dynasty, it was the lowest place for craftsmen to live in. However, as the Qing Dynasty occupied Beijing, all the Han people in the entire capital were driven out, and the good houses were given to the Eight Banners of the Manchus to live in, and the Han people were ordered not to enter the city. This policy continued until the demise of the Qing Dynasty.

This is the case in Beijing Nancheng that Zhu Hongsan saw now. A large number of residents from the former North City were driven to Nancheng and their property was confiscated. There was no way these people could only set up sheds on large open spaces in Nancheng. Of course, there was no need to mention the sanitation environment in the ancient times, people died here every day.

The highest civil servant in Beijing is Hou Xun, who is the governor of Northern Zhili. When Zhu Hongsan saw the miserable situation of the residents of Nancheng, he said to Hou Xun beside him: "Mr. Hou, if you next notice of peace, you will agree to them to return their original property to them, and try to recover the property that was robbed by the Qing Dynasty!"

Hou Xun was also a man in the officialdom for a long time. After hearing what the emperor said, he quickly asked someone to shout out the emperor's imperial edict on both sides of the road. Now more residents supported Zhu Hongsan from the bottom of their hearts.

In Yongding Gate is Zhengyang Gate, which is the Qianmen Dashilan in later generations. Qianmen Commercial District originated in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, Beijing broke through the customization of the "Foreign Dynasties and Back Markets" in the Yuan Dynasty. It formed a large commercial district around Zhengyang Gate and to the south to Xianyukou and Langfang Hutong. The term Dashilan dates back to the first year of Hongzhi of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, there was a "curfew" in Beijing. In order to prevent thieves from hiding in the streets and alleys, the court approved it to establish wooden fences at many streets and alleys in Beijing. During the Wanli period, a large number of craftsmen's workshops, teahouses and theaters appeared here to form special street markets. However, it is not as prosperous as that of the past. Due to the wars, the shops in both halves of the streets had been closed.

In front is Zhengyang Gate, where the emperor entered and left. Zhengyang Gate was not open casually in the past. Zhu Hongsan later came to Beijing and also visited the Qianmen City Tower. However, at that time, there was only one city gate tower left in Zhengyang Gate, and there was no way to see the majesty.

The architectural form of Zhengyang Gate is a brick fortress type, with a height of twelve meters and a gate hole of five volts and five arches. It is opened in the middle of the city platform. It is the only city gate in the nine gates of the inner city where the arrow tower opens the door hole, and it is specially designed for dragon, carriage, phoenix chariot. The arrow tower is a double-eaved hip roof with gray tiles and green glazed edges. There are four floors above and below, ninety-four arrow windows on the east, south and west sides, for external archery. The arrow tower is four wide and seven rooms, sixty-two meters wide, and five rooms from the north, for 42 meters wide, and 24 meters high. The door is two-fold. It is a thousand-jin gate in front and a double-open iron-leaf gate.

Zhu Hongsan has also seen the appearance of a strong city in the world in his life, such as Wuchang, Guangzhou, and Nanjing, which is a capital city. However, the gates of these cities are not as majestic as Zhengyangmen. When Chongzhen hanged, Zhu Hongsan came to Beijing, but when he entered from Dongbianmen, he had no chance at all, and he did not dare to go to Zhengyangmen to watch.

Zhu Hongsan stopped at Zhengyang Gate, looked at the city tower more than 20 meters high, and said with emotion: "Mr. Hou, the world's strong cities are the two capitals in the north and south, but look, the two capitals in the north and south have been held for a day? When the bandits came, this was like this, Nanjing was still like this when the Qing Dynasty went south, but I occupied Nanjing when I was like this, and now I still occupied Beijing. It seems that the city wall is solid, and the people who guarded it will not be able to do without the heart to guard the city!"

Hou Xun didn't know that Zhu Hongsan was so moved here, so he quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is saying very much!"

Zhu Hongsan turned his head and said to Yao Qisheng: "Xizhi, you gave the imperial edict to the cabinet in the name of the Military Affairs Office, saying that the north has been in war for many years, and I will stay here for a while and let them come to Beijing to assist me in handling government affairs!"

Hou Xun was moved when he heard Zhu Hongsan say this. He knew that the emperor had the intention to build a capital in Beijing. However, Hou Xun did not object. Hou Xun was born in Henan and was not a scholar in the south. Although he had a close relationship with the Donglin Party, he still hoped that the court would stay away from the Donglin Party's nest, Nanzhili. Now that the emperor wanted to build a capital in Beijing, he could suppress the forces of the southerners in the court. This was exactly what Hou Xun wanted to see, so Hou Xun didn't say anything.

However, Hou Xun only understood the surface and did not see the essence of the emperor's imperial edict today. Hou Xun did not understand the political operation system of the Shenwu Dynasty. The Military Affairs Office was originally a military institution and was directly responsible to the emperor, but had no jurisdiction over the cabinet. Today, Zhu Hongsan issued the imperial edict, which was listed on the cabinet by the Military Affairs Office, so there were some tricks here.

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he said to everyone around him: "Let's go, everyone has made contributions to the success of this Northern Expedition. Let's go to this Zhengyang Gate with me!"

Zhengyang Gate is the gate of the emperor, and everyone else has to enter through the gate on one side. However, today the emperor has ordered, and some officers are very happy and ride a horse and pass by Zhengyang Gate with the emperor.

Entering Zhengyang Gate is Qianbu Lane. This is the office location of various central departments. The specifications and situations are similar to that of the Forbidden City in Nanjing, but the scale is larger than that of Nanjing. This place is gone in later generations, and the location is probably the Tian* Anmen Square in later generations. You can imagine how big the area of ​​Qianbu Lane is.

After passing Qianbu Lane, it is Chengtian Gate, which is the Tian*an Gate of later generations. After passing here, you will enter the imperial city. Further inside are Duan Gate and Meridian Gate. This is the place where the Ming Dynasty read out important national policies and one of the main gates of the imperial city.

Entering the Meridian Gate and passing through the Jinshui Bridge is the Taihe Gate. There are three halls inside, where the emperor holds important state affairs.

Zhu Hongsan entered the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in military uniform. Some eunuchs and palace maids in the palace quickly kowtowed. There are more than a thousand eunuchs and palace maids in the palace now, and everyone else has run away.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the golden dragon seat in the hall, and felt a lot of emotion. I was born and died in my life for today. Now I finally got what I want.

Zhu Hongsan stepped forward and threw the original bright yellow backrest on the ground. He didn't want to use what Emperor Shunzhi used. Zhu Hongsan sat directly on the light-plated dragon chaise. Although it was a bit uncomfortable, he was still very excited.

Zhu Hongsan saw that except for those civil officials, the generals who followed him were all afraid of their hands and feet, standing at the gate of the Supreme Hall of Supreme Harmony, looking around, and not daring to come in.

Zhu Hongsan cursed: "What's wrong with you guys? Why don't you dare to come in?"

Zhao Guodong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, we are all rough people. We have never seen such aura. I'd better not go in!"

Zhu Hongsan laughed when he heard Zhao Guodong say this, "You guys know how to be humble? Come in! This country was won by you and I, and you have also made contributions!"

After hearing what the emperor said, Zhao Guodong and others walked in with a smile, looking around, they looked like a country bumpkin.

Hou Xun was moved when he heard the emperor say this. Now that the national war is over, these Qiu Bas are holding heavy troops. They must not let them continue like this. They should find an opportunity to suppress it. However, Hou Xun has status and status, so naturally he cannot take action himself. Hou Xun looked at Chen Mingxia with a smile on his face, thinking that someone could replace him.

Chen Mingxia didn't know that anyone was thinking about him. When he saw the emperor happy, he quickly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, before leaving the pseudo-Shunzhi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he left a princess, who was Huang Taiji's twelve daughters. Shunzhi wanted to present this woman to Your Majesty!"

Is there a woman? Zhu Hongsan's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Hurry up! Send it up and let me see how the beauty is?"

Chen Mingxia quickly asked someone to lead Yatu to the main hall. Yatu was wearing a mangrove today, with a light pink cheongsam on her body, flowerpot high heels and pearl head flowers on her head. Flowerpot high heels are difficult to balance. Yatu has to shake her waist in one step, giving people a graceful look.

The generals in the room are all big bosses. They treat women as long as they take off their pants. They have never seen such graceful women, and their eyes are long when they look at them.

Zhu Hongsanyi saw that this woman was pretty. Although she was not as beautiful as her own major wives, she was very good at being a foreigner.

Zhu Hongsan asked with a slight note: "Who are you, this woman?"
