The donkey cart transporting poria, flowered and carved pigs entered the inner city from Chongwen Gate, passed through the boundary with blue flags and white flags, and entered through a convenience gate on the east side of the imperial city. As usual, the boss transporting the goods gave the yellow flag soldier guarding the gate two taels of silver.
Door bags, this is a rule and etiquette. The soldier checked the documents accompanying the goods and waved them away. As for the two little eunuchs following the donkey cart, they didn't even look at them carefully. They glanced at the waistband and let them go.
Got in.
It’s no wonder that there are too many vehicles carrying spring water, rice grains, chickens, fish, meat, eggs, charcoal and firewood, and even toilets coming in and out every day. Moreover, it has not been very long since the soldiers of Zhenghuang Banner took over the defense of the imperial city.
This set of security measures is not very well understood. As for the Zhengbai Banner troops affiliated with Aobai who used to guard the imperial city, they have now been transferred to Fengtai Camp to fight against the northwest wind.
The Imperial City is located south of the center of the inner city. It is a typical city within a city. It is five miles long from east to west and nearly six miles long from north to south. It is irregularly shaped and has doors on all sides. The south gate is where Liu Ziguang longed to visit. The Imperial City
In addition to the palace city, there are also the Longevity Mountain in the north, the Taimiao Temple and the Sheji Altar in the south, the North, Middle and South Seas of Xiyuan in the west, as well as the Thirteen Yamen and other internal government institutions distributed throughout the imperial city.
, a large number of eunuchs, maids, officials, soldiers, and craftsmen live here. The composition of the personnel is very complex, and the mobility is also high. No one knows anyone. As long as you have a solid cover, this is definitely the best hiding place.
After entering the Imperial City, Liu Ziguang took Dai Wenpei and Boss Che and went their separate ways. They took the Huashan Sect's token and went to visit the eunuch who had been searching for the "Sunflower Collection". Although the roads in the Imperial City were complicated
, there were many buildings, but Liu Ziguang walked very firmly and never paused at all, because the topographic map of the imperial city was completely in his mind. Dai Wenpei only had to follow him obediently, and he did not encounter any obstacles along the way.
Those who came to investigate knew that this was already within the imperial city, and there was no security problem at all.
After walking along the smooth stone road for a long time, they finally found the Bell and Drum Division, which is a unit responsible for various sacrificial utensils in the palace. The leader eunuch in charge is named Nie Feng, and he is exactly the person they are looking for. Nie
The father-in-law was of a very high rank, and naturally he was not someone who could be seen by a low-level Huangmen like them. Liu Ziguang knew the rules of the palace, so he stuffed some money into the little eunuch who was guarding the gate, and then handed the token in. After a while,
, the two of them were summoned inside to talk.
The two walked into the lobby of the Bell and Drum Division. It was said that the lobby was actually a house used as a reception room. The warehouse of the Bell and Drum Division occupied a large area, but the office space was very shabby. Mr. Nie was sitting on the Taishi chair with his back to them.
When I went to drink tea, I didn't turn my head when I heard someone coming in. I just whispered: "In the wind and clouds, we will swim in shallow water."
Liu Ziguang continued loudly: "The heroes in the world are from my generation."
Eunuch Nie suddenly turned around, his eyes were like a torch, he looked Liu Ziguang and Dai Wenpei up and down, and said, "You are not from the Huashan Sect."
"Master Nie has a good eye, but we are good friends with the leader of the Huashan Pai Yue. We came to the palace this time to help you find what you have been dreaming of." Liu Ziguang looked at Nie Feng without fear.
What a strange young man, he must have never practiced any serious internal skills, but he seems to be filled with some domineering power." Nie Feng himself has a very high level of cultivation, and he can feel the other person's aura at once. Liu Ziguang's strange magnetic field information
He was confused but also very interested, and said: "You want to help me find that thing? What a joke. I have been searching in this palace for thirteen years and still can't find it. Are you so sure?"
"Eunuch Nie, we came from the south. We have the most detailed information on the secret passages and chambers of the palace. I think we can be of some help."
"Then what are your requests? Do you want to share that secret book with me?" Nie Feng said worriedly.
"Master Nie is overthinking. Our talents are limited and we don't have such extravagant hopes. We only hope that heroes can help our Heaven and Earth Society build a reliable foothold in the imperial city." Liu Ziguang replied politely. This is indeed the truth, don't say more.
Even if he doesn't commit suicide, Liu Ziguang doesn't have the time to think about martial arts secrets. He is a high-ranking official in the imperial court, so he has no time to play with these things that are not appropriate for eating or drinking.
"Okay then, let's go to the inner room to talk in detail." Nie Feng nodded.
There is a small island called Yingtai in the center of the South China Sea among the three seas in Xiyuan. It is a cool place in the hot summer city of Beijing. Usually the emperor would come here to escape the summer heat, but today the people living on Yingtai are not.
The royal family is not even a bannerman, but a highly respected Han official.
The Empress Dowager Da Yu'er sat beside the bed holding a jade bowl, using a delicate silver spoon to feed the patient lying on the bed ginseng soup. Lying on the bed was the patient with whom he had a one-night stand many years ago.
Hong Chengchou, Master Hong was seriously injured in the ambush and his life was hanging by a thread. Fortunately, the sedan he was riding in was modified by the military aircraft and lined with thin iron plates to block the damage from the gravel and save his life.
Hong Chengchou was already in poor health and suffered from lung disease. Now after such a torment, his vitality was severely damaged. After receiving the report, the Empress Dowager immediately ordered him to be transferred to the heavily defended Zhongnanhai for treatment, and sent the best imperial doctors to treat his injuries.
The best medicinal materials must be used to save Lord Hong's life no matter what, and the Empress Dowager herself came to Yingtai many times to give medicine and food to Hong Chengchou.
"General Hong, just take a sip." Da Yu'er called softly with tears in her eyes. Hong Chengchou was sometimes awake and sometimes comatose. The situation was very unstable. Looking at the loyal Hanchen in front of him, Da Yu'er's heart was cut like a knife.
, since the death of Dorgon, the sky of the Qing Dynasty seemed to have collapsed. Bad things happened one after another. Emperor Fulin also died, and then several important banner officials were killed by Ao Bai. She helped Sun
Er Xuanye killed Obai again. After all this, the situation of fierce generals when he entered the pass has completely disappeared. There is almost no banner man left who can hold up the situation. The only one who has ever experienced a large-scale regiment battle is
The only one who has experience is Hong Chengchou. Although he is a Han minister and a surrendered general, his loyalty is definitely not inferior to that of any bannerman. Over the years, Hong Chengchou has been suppressed by Ergon and Fan Wencheng, and has been unable to use what he has learned. He is depressed.
After many years of failure, I am finally able to go out and serve the Qing Dynasty. However, I have suffered such a misfortune and my life or death is uncertain. Does this man really want to destroy the Qing Dynasty?
Hong Chengchou's injuries were indeed serious. Although there were no obvious wounds on the outside, his internal organs were damaged in many places and his mind was confused for a time. In a daze, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was in a turmoil. He led the so-called "Hong Family Army"
The elite Shaanxi army galloped across the northwest land with high spirits, killing the rebels to pieces. In the blink of an eye, they were in the palace in Beijing again. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty, with a dejected look on his face, appointed himself to fight against the Manchus outside the customs.
The sky seemed to become gloomy at that time. The sky above the imperial city was leaden gray, and the faces of the surrounding ministers were expressionless. Only the emperor, who had been drained by wine and sex, opened his mouth and spoke.
What.
With a bang, the camera turned and arrived outside Shanhaiguan again. All the Eight Banners cavalry were in darkness, and the deputy generals cried out from beside them: "Commander, all the brothers are dead. No matter how hard you charge, you can't charge."
Get out!" Yes, the enemy army in front of us is as solid as iron. They regard death as if they are home and have high fighting spirit. They are a hundred times harder to deal with than those rogue bandits in Shaanxi. I really don't know what kind of general can train such an army.
The camera turned again. They had arrived in Shengjing. A Manchu nobleman with a tall figure and a generous face put a warm fur on himself. He knew clearly that his hands were stained with the blood of countless Eight Banners soldiers, but he still treated him like
Treat yourself like brothers...
"General Hong, just open your mouth and take a sip..." Such a gentle voice and such a fragrant breath. In front of him is a picturesque young woman with a graceful temperament. She is holding a wine bottle to persuade herself to drink water.
But why is this water so sweet? It's like a clear spring nourishing a dry heart. After drinking the water, Hong Chengchou felt a hundred times more energetic. Looking at the beautiful young woman, he couldn't help but feel distracted. The young woman seemed to have read through his thoughts. She smiled sweetly and untied her cheongsam.
The buckle of the cheongsam fell to the ground, revealing the pure white jade breasts...
After the passion, the young woman curled up in Hong Chengchou's arms like a docile little white rabbit. Mr. Hong stroked the young woman's hair and asked with satisfaction: "What's your name?"
"Back to General Hong, my name is Yu'er."
…
When Hong Chengchou finally decided to surrender to the Manchus, the first thing he thought about was to ask Huang Taiji to bring over the woman named Yu'er. He thought that Yu'er was just a wrapper, but the reality was far beyond his imagination.
That woman named Yu'er turned out to be the noble concubine of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji's most beloved woman.
As soon as the door was as deep as the sea, Xiao Lang was a passerby from then on. This poem can well reflect Hong Chengchou's mood. From then on, he was willing to go through life and death for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, not only to repay that great man with a mind as high as the sky, but also to repay that equally great man.
woman.
"General Hong, please open your mouth and take a sip." The voice that had been haunting him for many years rang in his ears, bringing Hong Chengchou back to reality from his dream. He opened his eyes slightly and saw that the sad picture in front of him was full of surprise.
Isn’t that face the same face that I miss so many times in my dreams at midnight?
"Yu'er!"
"General Hong!"
After three days and three nights of struggle, Hong Chengchou was finally snatched back from the hands of death by Dayu'er. The two hands were held together again after thirty years. The lover was still there, but her appearance had aged.
The surrounding maids were all reliable people who had followed the Empress Dowager for many years. Seeing this touching scene, they couldn't help but shed tears. Such a great miracle can only be achieved by the power of love.
