After descending from Coal Mountain, Lu Si went to the palace.

This time when entering the city, Lu Siming will keep everything simple. Otherwise, according to the rules, not only will the outer city have corresponding entry ceremonies, but the palace must also have corresponding specifications.

Gu Junen said that according to the specifications and corresponding ceremonies of Li Zicheng's entry into Beijing, that is, everyone in the city of Beijing, including the soldiers of the Dashun Army, must stand up Hou Ying on both sides of the street. The city must also be cleaned, and the streets where the King Chuang entered the city must be paved with loess to show solemnity.

However, Lu Si asked for a simple task on the grounds that the capital was full of holes and was in trouble and was not suitable for disturbing the people. However, no matter how simple it was, the King of Chuang met Dashun soldiers outside the palace city.

The road from Coal Mountain to the Palace was extremely quiet. There were armed soldiers along the street, while the people were closed. However, outside the door, there were incense tables. From east to west, all of them were yellow paper and people.

This scene immediately made Lu Siyu feel deeply moved. At this moment, he was as energetic as Li Zicheng back then, and was extremely proud at the same time, but he also reminded himself not to be Li Zicheng.

Since I went to Beijing to take the exam, I would become the top scholar!

Now the north has decided that as the saying goes, starting a business is difficult and many battles, but now we have to move forward again and we must govern the country well. Since the onset of the cause, Lu Si has been on the road of war and has almost no management of civil affairs. Now he has finally had a chance to breathe and start working on civil affairs so that the people under his rule can rest and recover their vitality.

However, Beijing City is still not very popular.

When Li Zicheng entered Beijing, only 200,000 people lived in Beijing, and most of the others died in the plague. After the Qing army entered the pass, the population of Beijing was restored to 700,000 to 800,000 due to the migration of a large number of families of the Eight Banners and Han slave Aha. Now this population has fallen sharply again because of the Eight Banners leaving Beijing. Although the population in the capital has not yet been counted, it will not exceed 300,000 at most.

If you compare the residential population simply, Beijing can only rank third in the actual controlled area of ​​Shunjun, with Yangzhou being the first and Huai'an being the second. Other big cities such as Xi'an, Jinan, Baoding and Xuzhou being mostly below 200,000.

In terms of overall population, Yangzhou and Huaian are the real core of the Shun Army. The broken Beijing is far from comparable to Huaiyang, whether it is population, money, grain or economy.

However, Beijing is Beijing!

The political significance is something that even ten Huaiyang cannot compare.

Lu Si believes that with the establishment of the Dashun Central Government and the stability of the Dashun regime, this former Ming imperial capital will surely be regained.

Under the Chengtian Gate, outside the palace city, Gu Junen, Gao Yigong, Xia Dajun, Jia Hanfu, Hong Bao, Lin Yangcheng, He Zhen, Ma Ke, Yang Xiang, Sun Si, Zu Kefa, Cai Shiying and other generals of the Shun (Huai) Army were all in the marquis.

What is different from many military generals is that there is currently only one Gu Junen who can be regarded as a civil minister, which makes Gu Junen stand out among the crowd and unique.

It also shows the urgency of establishing a central government in Dashun.

At that time, Li Zicheng's Dashun regime was not called the court, but the government, with six ministries as the six governments. There were hundreds of government officials coming to Beijing, and as many as thousands of demoted officials. It was really a prosperous place.

When it comes to Lu Si's side, there are many military generals, and only Gu Junen is the only civil minister, which must be awkward.

But Lu Si doesn't care. It's hard to find a toad with two legs, and it's hard to deal with two legs.

Behind Chengtian Gate is the former Ming Imperial City, and there is also a palace city in the imperial city.

The original flag-plaque personal soldiers had all been transformed into Yulin Imperial Guards and began to be responsible for the order of the imperial city two days ago. At this time, more than a thousand imperial guards under Chengtian Gate stood with spears and the sword-shaped Hou. The Dashun flags were everywhere on the palace walls, which looked solemn and solemn.

Lu Si did not dismount, but looked up at the plaque of Chengtian Gate above his head. When Li Zicheng entered the capital, he shot Chengtian Gate to get out of the ominous aura of the Ming Dynasty. When he left the capital, he ordered people to set fire to the palace. Chengtian Gate was burned. The current Chengtian Gate was rebuilt in Manchuria the following year.

When everyone saw the King of Chuang, they all thought that King of Chuang was thinking about the incident of Emperor Yongchang shooting arrows. Gu Junen even thought about whether to come forward to propose that King of Chuang would also follow Emperor Yongchang.

However, everyone did not know that the King of Chuang was looking at Chengtian Gate, but he was thinking of a huge portrait of a great man and those two long live slogans.

In the past and present lives, this gate is forbidden.

Tianan.

"This gate will be the gate of heaven from now on!"

Lu Si took the whip and pointed to the door, and said, "The four words of expelling the Tartars on the left side of Yu Shuntian Gate are written on the left side of Yu Shuntian Gate, and the four words of Chinese are restored to the right side, and will never be replaced for generations."

"Long live!"

When everyone heard the sound, they bowed down at the same time and shouted together three times.

What is orthodoxy? This is orthodoxy!

After entering Chengtian Gate surrounded by the generals, Lu Si's towering palace buildings appeared in front of him, which was no different from what he saw in his previous life.

"This is the Golden Palace where the emperor lives, it's so grand!"

Fan Ba ​​had previously looked at the Forbidden City from afar on Coal Mountain and didn't realize anything, but when he really stepped into it, he was immediately shocked and captured by the spirit of the palace.

"General, the Golden Palace is the Emperor's Palace, not the Forbidden City." The old eunuch Wei Liangchen whispered in Fan Ba's ear with a delight.

After hearing this, Lu Guangyuan asked his uncle curiously: "Master, why is the palace called Forbidden City?"

"this"

Lu Si was also stunned. Yes, why is the imperial palace called the Forbidden City?

Gu Junen hurriedly answered the doubts of the emperor and the young governor, saying that China has always emphasized the unity of man and nature. Therefore, when the Beijing Imperial Palace was built in the Ming Dynasty, all the palaces corresponded to the stars in the sky. The Emperor of Heaven lived in Ziwei Palace. The emperor was the emperor who was ordered by heaven, and his residence should correspond to Ziwei Palace.

"There is Ziwei Palace in the sky, which is where God lives. A king sets up a palace and makes it look like it. Over time, Ziwei, Ziyuan, Zigong and others have become the names of the imperial palaces. Because the palace is a forbidden area, it is called the Forbidden City by the people."

Gu Junen, Zuo Fu, was really knowledgeable. He said that after Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, the Forbidden City would be distinguished from the imperial city and the palace city.

Lu Si nodded, looked around and asked Gu Junen, "Should I go to Qianqing Palace now?"

But Gu Junen said that he should not go to the Qianqing Palace, so he should go to the Wuying Palace first. He said that most of the ministers summoned by emperors of the Ming Dynasty were in the Wuying Palace, followed by the Wenhua Palace. After Li Zicheng entered the capital, he also handled military affairs in the Wuying Palace. Later, the Qing army entered the pass, and the Manchurian Regent Dorgon was also the director of the Wuying Palace. Therefore, the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace was also the most expensive Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty.

Lu Si was surprised and asked why he didn't go to Qianqing Palace first, isn't that palace the emperor's residence?

"The King of Chuang knew that the Qianqing Palace was not the main hall of the emperor's military affairs, but the inner palace. Now the King of Chuang had just entered the Forbidden City, and according to the etiquette, he should go to Wuying Palace first to be congratulated by the ministers, and decided to be the name of Dashun, and then go to Qianqing Palace."

This is a ritual system, but there is also a reason why Gu Junen disagreed with the reason why King Chuang went to Qianqing Palace first.
