Before moving into the Forbidden City, Zhao Han received news about the Manchus.
The information is a little slow, it's old news from half a year ago.
In April this year, the Beishan barbarians gathered in large numbers and went south, directly killing the Sauron tribe and even plundering the Saha company headquarters. The Manchu and Qing Dynasties sent cavalry to pursue them, but they only touched the tail. In the end, they had to use 2,000 cavalry to go deep into the Beishan area to sweep them away.
.
Beishan is the Waixing'an Mountains.
Beishan savages are a general term that refers specifically to the indigenous people living in the Outer Khingan Mountains, Eastern Siberia, and the Kamchatka coast. They have very strange deer cavalry, or in other words, infantrymen who march on deer.
The Sauron tribe generally refers to the indigenous people of Heilongjiang, and specifically refers to the Dahaner, Oroqen, and Ewenki tribes.
The Sauron Tribe belonged to the Eight Banners of Hunting Animals, which was a tribe that collected pearls and hunted furs for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty lacked bannermen, they would also ask the Sauron Tribe to donate warriors, and the population became smaller and smaller over time.
Now that the Qing Dynasty was exhausted, even the savages from Beishan knew about it and actually took the opportunity to rob Sauron's tribe.
Although Dorgon sent 2,000 cavalry to Beishan to help the Sauron tribe regain their position, but as far as the Sauron tribe is concerned... you might as well not come!
The Outer Xing'an Mountains were too far away, and the Manchurian cavalry could bring very little food. The Sauron tribe had to help provide the food. The Sauron tribe, which had been robbed miserably, had to raise food for the Manchurian cavalry, and the loot they took back was,
But it has nothing to do with them.
The Sauron tribe was first plundered by the Beishan barbarians and then blackmailed by the Manchu cavalry.
The various tribes of the Sauron tribe, who dared to be angry but dared not speak out, sent two envoys one after another to Gaizhou to seek refuge secretly. They requested the Datong Army to launch a large-scale attack on the Manchu Qing Dynasty as soon as possible, and the Sauron tribe would also take the opportunity to raise troops.
The various ethnic groups in the Northeast have been suffering from the Qing Dynasty for a long time.
Without the Datong Army, they could only endure silently. After all, they had been suppressed countless times. Now that the Datong Army is in southern Liaoning, they once again have the courage to resist.
Late winter.
Zhao Han sat in the royal chariot and moved to the Forbidden City with the harem, inner and outer court, and several teams.
The southernmost city gate was changed from "Daming Gate" to "Datong Gate".
It is very simple to change it, just turn the plaque over and re-engraving on the back, which can also save a piece of fine wood for the plaque.
This practice is normal. Yuan Shikai became the president of the Republic of China and felt that the "Qing Gate" was inappropriate. He asked the craftsmen to take off the plaque and engrave "Zhonghua Gate" on the back. The craftsman turned the plaque over and saw, good guy,
There are already words on the back, and the three words "Damingmen" are engraved impressively.
After entering Datong Gate, there is an urn in the shape of a man's penis.
The various ministries and departments at the center of the imperial court worked on both sides of Dingding. Officials could not enter Dingding Wengcheng directly from Datong Gate, because the Wengcheng already belonged to the Imperial Road.
The root of Tintin is "Chengtian Gate", and the name has not been changed because after passing Duanmen and Meridian Gate, there is another "Fengtian Gate".
Fengtianmen was changed to Yingminmen.
The two gates together form "Chengtian Yingmin".
On both sides of the imperial road from Chengtian Gate to the Meridian Gate, on the west side is the Sheji Altar, where the Emperor's Temple was also built. On the east side is the Taimiao Temple, and Zhao Han added the Heroes' Temple. The martyrs who died guarded the Taimiao and received incense and offerings together with the Taimiao.
There are two large gardens on the south side of the Sheji Altar and the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Today, there is a primary school in one garden and a middle school in the other garden. This is a school within the imperial city. Officials from various ministries are not allowed to enter, but students who study with the prince can enter.
Inside the Meridian Gate is the real Forbidden City.
In the center of the Forbidden City are three main halls, with the Wenwu Building on both sides. Further outside on both sides are the Wenhua Hall, Wuying Hall and other palaces and pavilions, where cabinet ministers and Zhongshushe people work.
To the north of the palace, there are east and west palaces respectively.
These buildings are further north and surrounded by city walls, where is the emperor's harem.
The area of the harem is about one-third of the entire Forbidden City, and less than one-tenth of the entire imperial city.
So now you understand why you need to recruit so many female officials and maids, right?
Within the imperial city, there is an inner court and many administrative offices. In the past, it was managed by eunuchs and palace maids. In the future, it will be managed by female officials and palace ladies. Most of them, even if they stay and refuse to leave, will work in the imperial city for a lifetime, maybe once.
If you don't enter the Forbidden City, you may not even be able to see the emperor's face.
Most of the female officials and maids in the imperial city are purely hired workers. They only have different addresses from working among the people. When the five-year contract expires and they are not promoted, they will leave with their salary and go back to the people to find a good family to marry.
.
The current manpower is actually not enough. The total number of female officials and maids should be more than 3,000.
If the descendants of Zhao Han follow the Ming Dynasty and create elephant houses and leopard houses, then the number of employees in the imperial city will continue to increase. For example, the elephant house employees are a group of animal breeders, including lions, tigers, elephants, giraffes, and so on.
They all have it, originally it was the auspiciousness brought back by Zheng He from his voyages to the West.
All officials followed the emperor and concubines and entered through the Datong Gate.
There are not many opportunities like this. Only during large-scale activities, such as offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, can officials have the honor to enter and exit Datong Gate. Even if they go to court, they have to go around in a large circle, twisting and turning, which psychologically increases the majesty of the imperial city.
and mystery.
All the way through the Meridian Gate and Yingmin Gate, we came to the square where movies and TV shows often appear.
Usually during the morning court, all the officials would line up here, waiting for the time to go to court, and then they would be divided into two groups, civil and military, to enter the Fengtian Hall.
"Fengtian Hall" was changed to "Jingtian Hall", and its function has not changed. It is a place used to hold court meetings or major gatherings.
"Huagai Hall" was changed to "Zhimin Hall", where the emperor reviewed memorials. The emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties liked to work in the Qianqing Palace and only read memorials related to sacrifices in the Huagai Hall. In addition, this is where the emperors rested and took a nap before going to court.
the location of.
After the two main halls were renamed, they seemed to have suddenly become obsolete, but scholars all over the world must know their origins.
All come from Shangshu!
"Heaven cannot be trusted, but my way is to support King Ning's Deyan, and God cannot be trusted to accept King Wen's orders."
God's favor cannot be relied upon. As long as we continue to promote King Wen's benevolent government, God will not take away the mandate given to King Wen.
"Yan Gongyin is fearful, and the destiny of heaven is fulfilled by himself. When governing the people, he is only fearful and dare not live in peace."
Only by being respectful and reverent, governing the people according to the mandate of heaven, and working conscientiously and not daring to go to waste can the country continue to be prosperous.
Changing it to "Jingtian Hall" and "Governing the People Hall" is the meaning of "respecting heaven and protecting the people" conveyed in "Shangshu".
That is to say: Those who are emperors and officials should not think that the Datong court is destined by destiny. The ways of heaven are unpredictable and destiny is impermanent. You should be in awe of God and be kind to the people. You must govern the country conscientiously in order to always receive the favor of destiny.
, in order to maintain peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
Respecting heaven and serving heaven are just one word, but have completely different connotations.
Zhao Han did not change the name of the Jinshen Hall of the three main halls. This is where the emperor changed his court uniform, where the queen and prince were appointed, and it was also where the emperor temporarily rested.
Zhao Han took his family directly to the harem, and the female officials and palace maids also went to their respective places. As for the officials, they were taken to visit and familiarize themselves with the territory, and then left through Donghua Gate.
"Father, this place is so big!" Zhao Kuanghuan followed Zhao Han, his eyes rolling around.
Zhao Han smiled and said: "Starting from next summer, you and your younger brothers and sisters will study in the school in the imperial city. Prodigies from all over the country will be your classmates. Even if your knowledge is not as good as those of those prodigies, you must not be discouraged. Because those prodigies , are all your future subjects. The better they are, the more talents you can use."
"Oh." Zhao Kuanghuan didn't pay much attention. He felt that he was very smart and would definitely not be inferior to the so-called prodigy.
The concubines moved to the Forbidden City and immediately felt what a harem was.
The emperor has his own Qianqing Palace, and the queen has her own Kunning Palace. The combined area of these two palaces directly accounts for a quarter of all the bedrooms, and the queen's status is very obvious.
The concubine took the prince and princess to their respective residences.
Zhao Han stayed in Qianqing Palace to familiarize himself with the environment. Li Xiangjun asked: "Your Majesty, will you review memorials in Qianqing Palace or Zhimin Palace in the future?"
"Zhimin Palace." Zhao Han didn't want to use the palace as an office, but he would be out in a few minutes anyway.
There is no need to take a car, just take it as a walk and move your body.
There are not many concubines nowadays, and there are none at all. At noon, Zhao Han called the concubines and their children and ran to the inner garden on the west side of the concubine's palace. While eating to fill his stomach, Zhao Han admired the scenery of the garden.
They are all southern garden buildings, pavilions, bridges and flowing water, so any concubine can come and play.
As for the Dashan Hall in the Nanjing Imperial Palace in the Ming Dynasty, it was originally a place where the royal family worshiped Buddha. But unfortunately, Zhao Han respected Buddhism but did not believe in Buddhism, so it was converted into a royal library.
In the library of Wenhua Hall, officials can browse. The library here can only be browsed by the royal family, and it also collects the rare things that the emperor liked.
Fei Rulan ate and said with a smile: "We have free time in the afternoon, why don't we go for a walk in the outer garden together. Everyone is walking around. Don't move in, but just hang around in the harem."
"Good idea." Zhao Han immediately agreed.
The Outer Garden is outside the Forbidden City and within the Imperial City.
Due to the collapse of the city wall, that area of land was occupied by many residential buildings. When the Imperial City of Nanjing was being rebuilt, some illegally built residential buildings were cleared, and land was allocated for them to build houses by Xuanwu Lake. However, there were also many illegally built residential buildings, and Zhao Han ordered not to disturb them. This directly reduced the area of the imperial city.
The people who were not forced to move away often sigh with emotion and say to everyone they meet: "Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, protecting the people's homes and shrinking the imperial city. I have never seen such a holy king since ancient times."
After touring the outer gardens in the afternoon, Zhao Han climbed up to the tower of the Imperial City, looked at the rows of shops and private houses outside, and then looked back at the palaces within the Imperial City, and finally felt another taste of imperial power.
Being alone and alone, it is too cold to be at a high place.
This is the concentration of the emperor's majesty, and it is also the prison where the emperor is imprisoned.
As the founding emperor of the country, I will definitely go out when I want. But the future emperor may not be able to run around casually. At most, he can go hunting in the Purple Mountain, or go out of the city to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.
Once it goes too far, it will definitely waste people and money, and it will also be dangerous. Civil servants will try their best to dissuade them.
