Among a lot of important things, there was no rush to rectify the Forbidden City. But Jia Cong always had the Forbidden City Museum in mind. After all, that place is a symbol of imperial power. If this symbol is not broken, there is no way to lose the royal majesty. Then follow
Zhan Kun, Roman, and the others discussed it. When the two heard this, they immediately shouted: "It's so cheap!" Jia Cong was stunned.
Zhan Kun sighed: "Do you know the status of the Forbidden City in the hearts of ordinary people?"
Roman said: "No one dares to come here for five hundred taels a day. I'm afraid it's a scammer or a trap."
Zhan Kun said: "Five thousand is about the same."
Roman said: "There are fifty thousand people going."
The two of them added money as if they were risking their lives. Jia Cong quickly made a stop gesture: "No! It's boring if it's too expensive. My goal is to make the Forbidden City civilian, like the Dajiala Museum."
Zhan Kun shook his head: "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. The folk customs in the capital cannot be changed overnight. Failure to protect everything will make people who are not afraid of the retribution of the underworld become lawless."
Roman said: "Build another museum first, and then use it to make some money for the palace."
Zhan Kun said: "The money earned from visiting the palace can be used to build a new museum."
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "You two are singing in harmony. Okay, okay... we need to take inventory first to see how much is left there."
"That's all."
It was best to ask Comrade Pan Xigui to do the inventory in the Forbidden City, but he went to Jiangxi again. In recent years, Liu Xianglian had gained a little weight, so she wanted to leave it to him. Liu Xianglian was too lazy to do it because it was too troublesome, so she shied away for half a day.
But Qin Keqing said: "If you don't do it, I will." Liu Xianglian thought that she had not entered the palace yet, so she followed him to have a look.
The couple led people inside and after a rough walk around, they realized that the palace was too big and had too many objects. The large areas were magnificent, and the small areas were dazzling with gold and silver. It was completely different from the Ningguo Mansion in the early years. Even the bricks and tiles and beams
The pillars are rare in the world. The two of them were amazed all the way. Liu Xianglian naturally couldn't hide and had to call Qin Zhong and Xue Baoqin to help. The four soldiers were divided into four groups. In the entire Forbidden City, except for the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager,
The locks were changed in the courtyard where the saint lived, and in other places. Then each led a team of people to register the objects in the palace in detail.
On the sixth day of the official count, Dai Quan heard that the auditors had arrived at the Daming Palace, so he went over to take a look. He saw a number of men and women coming, and the leader was a beautiful woman. They set up a strange place outside the palace.
After playing with the box for a long time, he covered it with a big red cloth. Suddenly he saw a fire and a "bang" sound, which startled Dai Quan. Then he looked at the few people who seemed to be fine, turning the box to another place.
Playing with it. After a while, there was another burst of fire and a sound. Dai Quan couldn't help but stepped forward and hit Qian'er: "Sir, what kind of pet is this?"
The leader was Qin Keqing, who smiled and said: "This is a camera. Father-in-law, would you like to take a photo too?"
Dai Quan was stunned: "What camera?"
Qin Keqing ordered someone to take some photos and hand them to him: "Look, these are the photos."
Dai Quan lowered his head and saw the top one. He was shocked and shouted: "There is such a realistic painting! Isn't this **?"
"That's right. This is a photo. It can capture the scenery intact, which is much easier than painting."
Dai Quan looked at it for a long time, then turned to the next picture with trembling hands: "These are the two big stone lions at the entrance of Prince Yan's Mansion."
"right."
"This is the Tianqi Temple outside the West City Gate."
"Yeah, you even recognize Tianqi Temple?" Aren't eunuchs not allowed to leave the palace?
Looking at the picture at the back again, Dai Quan's eyes widened - the picture actually showed a slope of plum trees and a temple! Although it was not the plum blossom season. The old eunuch's internal organs were trembling. He took a deep breath very slowly, pointed at the picture and asked
Said: "This is it?"
"This is called a temple." Qin Keqing said, "It is the place where Taizu's substitute monk became a monk and practiced practice. There are many stories in this temple. For example, Taizu's seventh son Situ Chou did not die early due to drinking and sex, let alone the dandy prince.
, but he changed his name to Tian Qi and became a bandit in the green forest. Later he became a monk in this temple and took the title of monk."
A young man came out from behind her with a smile and said: "His origin is also interesting. Because his mother-in-law had an affair with one of the founding ministers of this dynasty. Although he was a prince, he was born with a serious crime, so he lost the competition for the prince early.
qualifications. And his mother-in-law and the late emperor’s mother-in-law were actually sisters! Also, I finally found out that the affair was also framed, and Situ Chou’s mother-in-law was innocent. These stories can all be told in a temple
I heard that the tour guide has been trained."
Another middle-aged woman came out and said with a smile: "This temple has other wonderful features, it is so wonderful. My father-in-law also went to visit it when he had time."
Qin Keqing said: "The tickets are not expensive, only two hundred dollars."
Dai Quan's eyes widened in shock: "Tickets?!"
Qin Keqing said: "It costs a lot of money to hire a tour guide, clean the courtyard, and do daily care. I'm still losing money by charging two hundred yuan for the ticket."
Just now the young man said: "Temple and Taoist temples elsewhere don't charge money."
A man at the back said: "But you have to donate money for incense elsewhere, right? This "temple" is just a tourist attraction. If you don't accept money for incense, you will have to charge admission tickets. Besides, aren't they building new roads to make it easier for people to walk?
Building roads also costs money. In my opinion, the two hundred yuan ticket is too little."
Qin Keqing said: "Okay, okay, the regent has his own considerations. Why are you so anxious?" Nai asked Dai Quan with a smile, "My father-in-law, do you want to take a photo?" She pointed to a monk in a photo of a temple.
, "Well, it's like this. Descendants thousands of years later can also see what the father-in-law looks like in the palace." Dai Quan had mixed feelings in his belly and didn't know what it was like. Qin Keqing said softly, "Just don't do it.
, it’s okay, father-in-law, don’t be afraid.”
The young man smiled and said: "Team leader, I will take a few pictures for others to see, and they will naturally not be afraid."
Qin Keqing glanced at him: "That's all, don't you just want to shoot first?" The young man laughed. Qin Keqing ordered, "Since he is anxious, shoot him first."
Someone later complained: "It's just that the team leader is partial, and he's used to pushing the envelope. He was the first to shoot before, and now he's the first to shoot."
Qin Keqing raised his eyes and looked around, saying: "It doesn't matter if you shoot first and then later. It doesn't matter who's taking the photo first. He took the photo first, can you still see if the angle is good? Someone is rushing to be a test subject, do it?"
What's not welcome?"
The young man smiled and said: "This is the Daming Palace, where the emperor works. I rushed to take pictures first, even if the pictures are ugly, that's all. I will come back to take some good-looking pictures in a few days. Wouldn't the team leader not allow me to take pictures?"
"
Qin Keqing said: "The place where the emperor works is rare, the place where the emperor sleeps is rare, the place where the emperor eats is rare, is it even the place where the emperor pays respects is rare?" Everyone laughed in unison. Qin Keqing continued, "As the saying goes, things are rare.
It is expensive. In the past, ordinary people could not enter this palace, so it was rare. In the future, it became the Palace Museum. As long as you make a reservation in advance, everyone can come in and hang out for free. If you often live in Beijing, you can
Come in often throughout the year. Take pictures of flower scenes in spring and snow scenes in winter. Once you see it often, it won’t be a surprise.”
While he was talking, the young man had already set up his posture at the entrance of Daming Palace. The photographer got under the big red cloth and took a look at Huizi. There was a "bang". A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old rushed forward and pushed him:
"You're done filming, it's my turn!" He dismissed him and stood at the entrance of the palace.
After these people finished taking photos individually, they took a group photo together. Dai Quan stood by and watched them lively taking photos. After taking the photos, Qin Keqing sent someone to ask Dai Quan if he wanted to take a photo as well. Dai Quan looked at the painting in his hand and asked
He looked at the Daming Palace and took a breath: "It's really interesting. Let's take a photo of it." Then he stood at the gate of the palace.
The photographer shouted from behind the red cloth, "Smile--" Dai Quan raised the corner of his mouth. "Bang!" the photographer came out and said, "Okay. It's just that the smile is a bit stiff and not natural enough. This is my father-in-law's first time taking pictures.
It’s inevitable that I’m a little nervous. I’ll relax after taking a few more photos.”
Qin Keqing smiled and said: "Please leave your name, father-in-law. Where do you live? Develop the photos later and we will send them to you."
Dai Quan bowed and saluted: "Thank you, madam. My family name is Dai Mingquan, and I am currently serving the Empress Dowager."
Qin Keqing was slightly surprised: "Could it be that my father-in-law is the palace supervisor of the Daming Palace when the Supreme Emperor was here?" Dai Quan nodded, with an indescribable expression on his face. Qin Keqing said happily, "This photo can be stored in the historical archives in the future!"
Dai Quan followed Qin Keqing and others to watch how they took inventory of the Daming Palace. Qin Keqing and the others started arguing while turning over an item and not knowing what it was for. Dai Quan couldn't help but stepped forward: "It's a cold day.
It’s here to support the saint’s arms.” Everyone said “oh” several times.
Someone pointed to another object and asked, "Eunuch Dai, what is this?" Dai Quan answered.
Dai Quan followed them all day long. When he encountered an object he didn't recognize or was unsure of, the people from the inventory team would ask him for advice. Dai Quan gradually felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. In the evening, Qin Keqing and others were about to leave work.
He also asked him diligently if he might come back tomorrow. Dai Quan thought about refusing, but his mouth was faster than his brain. When he realized it, he had already agreed. When he returned to his residence that night, Dai Quan thought: Now that he has agreed, he can accompany him tomorrow.
They can do it one day, but they will be rejected the next day.
When the work was done the next day, Qin Keqing invited him to meet again tomorrow, and he quickly agreed. When he went back in the evening, Dai Quan regretted it and decided to refuse them tomorrow.
When it was time to finish work tomorrow, Dai Quan had already thought of the words to refuse. Unexpectedly, Qin Keqing did not invite him. Instead, the little girl of seventeen or eighteen smiled with crooked eyebrows and said: "Eunuch Dai, I will take my mother to do it tomorrow."
Come and try the shortbread!”
Qin Keqing said with a smile: "I haven't made many snacks these years. When I'm done with this time, I'll show you my hand at the celebration banquet."
"Okay -" "The team leader keeps his word and no bouncers are allowed -" "After eating the snacks made by the team leader, I feel calmer and my legs stop shaking, and I can climb up to the roof of the Daming Palace in one breath -" Everyone was chattering.
The tongue agreed.
After packing up his things, Qin Keqing took the lead in waving to Dai Quan: "See you tomorrow, Eunuch Dai!"
The team members shouted: "See you tomorrow, Eunuch Dai——"
Dai Quan originally wanted to say, "The Zajia family won't be here tomorrow." The words suddenly turned into "See you tomorrow..." Seeing that the counting team had disappeared, Dai Quan sighed and said to himself: "Things have happened."
At this point, the Zajia family has no choice. We can't just stop coming all of a sudden, right? Don't we have to be anxious?" Then he put his arms behind his back and put on a sullen face, and left happily.
After dinner that day, Dai Quan suddenly remembered a temple. I wonder what Jia Cong did to that place. There was a secret passage in the palace leading directly to a temple. Dai Quan looked out the window. The autumn air was high and the west wind was blowing.
In the clear sky, two or three handfuls of stars were scattered in the sky, and a slanting moon hung lightly. It was the best day. You could see the road without lighting a lantern. So he changed into black clothes and came out.
Dai Quan still held the lantern in his hand, but he didn't light it. He walked quietly to the entrance of the tunnel, turned on the engine and walked in. Once inside, he took out a match from his pocket, lit the lantern, and carried it all the way to a temple.
He extinguished the lantern at the exit, turned on the switch and walked out.
The exit was in a very secluded small side hall. There was no sound of people outside, and there was no light from candles. Dai Quan quietly poked his head out and looked around for a moment, and sure enough, there was no one there. The night breeze blew slightly, and the leaves of the trees rustled.
, and there were autumn insects chirping from time to time. He then took courage and walked out according to the path in his memory. The temple was huge. Dai Quan took several turns and walked through four or five Buddhist temples, but there were no incense candles or monks guarding them.
, and did not notice any difference from before. He thought for a while, turned around and went to the Medicine Master's Hall. Behind the Medicine Master's Hall is the plum forest where the monk lived when he was still alive.
From a distance, he saw a big sign outside Meilin. When he got closer, he saw that the sign was made of wood, with a picture painted on it and words written on it. It was too dark at the moment, so he couldn't really see the painting.
What was it written? Dai Quan looked around at the club, but there was no one there, so he took out a match and struck it. But a gust of wind happened to blow the match and extinguished it. Dai Quan hurriedly put the match stem into his arms, squatted down and turned his back to the wind.
He took out a candle, struck a match, and carefully lit the candle. He held the candle in his right hand, and held the flame with his left hand to block the wind. He slowly stood up and put the candle in front of the big wooden sign.
Drawn on the wooden sign is a map. There are eight characters on the map: Panoramic Map of the Plum Grove Labyrinth. There is a red ink on it marking the route leading directly into the plum forest. If you follow the ink along the way, you will see a simple diagram of a house.
There are a few words next to it: Yiseng Master Yuan. In the northwest corner of this courtyard, there are a few more strokes on the roof, and next to it is written: Bagua Yuan. An octagonal pavilion is painted on the top of the courtyard, marked with the words Octagonal Pavilion. There is also a strip extending from the side of the octagonal pavilion.
There was a broken line, and what was written next to the line was: Old camphor wood mechanism box. Dai Quan didn't realize his heartbeat was pounding. He took a few deep breaths and couldn't calm down, and even his eyes were dazzled.
After waiting for a while, Dai Quan continued to look attentively. He soon discovered that there was a room in the west wing of the Monk Master's Academy, and a folded line stretched out. Beside the line was a note: Three Imperial Edicts of the Late Emperor. Dai Quan's ankles fell softly and he sat down.
On the ground; the candle also rolled down the grass, and was extinguished when the wind blew. For a long time, Dai Quan smiled stiffly and bitterly. No one else could guess which of the three imperial edicts were, but he guessed them immediately. King Yan tried his best to open them
After taking out the imperial edicts from the box, Jia Cong actually placed them clearly in front of the hall for ordinary people to see. They could get in with just two hundred dollars. The dignity of the late emperor and the Supreme Emperor was all smashed on this wooden sign, and it was shattered into pieces.
