The tour continues.

Behind the Hall of Supreme Harmony is the Hall of Central Harmony, which was the emperor's lounge during grand ceremonies and the place where officials and ministers came to pay their respects.

Whenever the emperor personally offered sacrifices, such as at the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth, he would review the prayers in the Zhonghe Hall the day before. Before offering sacrifices to the Temple of Agriculture and performing the ploughing ceremony himself, he would also check the seeds and farm tools here.

The Empress Dowager presented her title, and the Emperor reviewed the memorial. When the Jade Edict was completed, it was respectfully presented to the Zhonghe Hall for the Emperor's inspection, and a grand ceremony was held for its storage.

Oh, there are so many details to pay attention to!

Zhou Jinyu and others took photos vigorously. Sun Manting's feet were sore from walking: "The Forbidden City is too big!"

The tour guide smiled and said, "This is only the open area of ​​the Forbidden City. There are even more unopened areas!"

Sun Manting suddenly approached the tour guide with a mysterious look on her face and said, "I heard there are ghosts in the Forbidden City. Is that true?"

The tour guide smiled righteously: "No matter what it is, as long as you silently recite the core values, everything will be scared away!"

"Yes! If all else fails, take out a banknote and face it. I guarantee it will be reduced to ashes!" Zhou Jinfang added.

Sun Manting immediately blinked at her: "Dear mother, I need a few pink banknotes as a talisman..."

Zhou Jinfang walked past her expressionlessly: "Come on, come on, the next attraction!"

Zhou Jinyu patted her frustrated niece: "I have a green one-yuan note, do you want one?"

"How many photos do you need to look at? If you have less, it won't work! Do you have 100?"

"Forget it, I'm poorer than you! But think about what's in front of the Forbidden City? The Heroes Monument! What dares to appear?

"Let's go! Let's go to the next attraction." Zhou Jinyu walked around her mercilessly.

It's interesting for people to watch, but what are the values?

Why is that ghost afraid?

And paper money is just money, how can it be used as amulets?

They knew he was a hero, but the people in the memorial hall still didn’t understand…how come later generations revered him so much.

Some people are also unhappy. Why do later generations always talk about these things?

I don't mind the smell of money!

You've read so many books! How come you don't have any literary pride?

He has the same face as those businessmen who forget their principles when they see profit!

Passing through the Zhonghe Hall is the Baohe Hall.

The tour guide introduced that [Baohe comes from the Book of Changes, which means "not to wander outside, to be calm and keep one's mind focused", that is, to keep the mind focused in order to maintain harmony among all things in the universe. On New Year's Eve and the 15th day of the first lunar month of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor gave banquets to foreign vassals, princes, and ministers of the first and second ranks, and to the fathers of the emperor's son-in-law and the families of officials, as well as the palace examinations for each subject, which were all held in the Baohe Hall. At the end of each year, the Imperial Clan Court and the Ministry of Personnel filled in the yellow book of the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han troops of the imperial clan, as well as the Han officials and foreign vassal hereditary positions in various provinces in the Baohe Hall.]

Zhu Di sneered: "That's where I change clothes."

The Qing Dynasty that followed was quite unrefined.

Other dynasties: I just watch and don’t say anything.

Passing by the Forbidden City Cultural and Creative Store, several people bought books and had their stamps stamped one by one.

Sun Manting put down the book covered with stamps and said, "Why do I feel like I am like Emperor Qianlong, a stamp-stamping maniac?"

Qianlong, who was caught off guard and stabbed, opened his eyes wide and trembled in anger, pointing at the sky.

Yuqing Palace.

Prince Yongyan listened to the servant's whispered report silently, then waved his hand. The servant left quietly.

He looked at the descendants on the sky who were teasing his royal father with a far-sighted gaze.

Kangxi nodded. It seemed that this descendant was not liked by later generations.

Continue walking forward and you will reach the Qianqing Gate, and behind it is the famous Qianqing Palace.

I often see this name in TV dramas, and now I finally see the real thing!

[The Qianqing Palace is the living area for the emperor and his concubines. In the past, the emperor held morning court here. To the east of the Qianqing Gate is the Nine Ministers' Duty Room, where high-ranking ministers waited for the emperor's summons.

To the west is the famous Military Aircraft Department. 】 said the tour guide.

The people were dazzled by the size of the Forbidden City.

"No wonder the emperor always travels in a sedan chair. How can he travel in such a large place without a sedan chair?"

"What if the emperor needs to go to the bathroom urgently? Should we ask someone to carry him over?"

"You're stupid, there must be a chamber pot!"

"The palace and the chamber pot don't go together well..."

"It doesn't matter whether it fits or not, solving the problem is what matters!"

More than half of the time passed quickly. The Forbidden City closed at 5 pm, so Zhou Jinyu and others quickened their pace.

The dragon-patterned sea relief in front of the Qianqing Palace is blocked by railings and no one is allowed to enter.

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows: Is it that serious? Why do you deliberately block the way for such a small place? Are people in later generations too ignorant?

If you like it, I'll ask the craftsman to make more.

There were also bronze turtles and bronze cranes, and many people gathered around to look at them and exclaim in admiration.

The Gentiles were even more stunned.

Then walk to Jiaotai Hall.

The tour guide said, "There are 25 imperial seals stored in the Jiaotai Hall. The seals are the collective name for the imperial seals designated by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty to represent the state power. The seals are stored in the treasure box of the Jiaotai Hall, one seal and one box. The treasure box is double-layered, both made of wood and exquisitely crafted. The treasure box is placed on a wooden table, covered with a yellow satin cover with embroidered dragon patterns, and is placed behind and on both sides of the throne. The materials of the seals include silver-plated gold, jade, and sandalwood. The seal buttons are in the shape of intertwined dragons, coiled dragons, and crouching dragons. They are exquisitely carved and are also cultural relics with important historical value. 】

"Wow wow wow~~~" The people became excited. They didn't expect that they could actually see the legendary jade seal!

Ying Zheng looked at his imperial seal: Mandate by Heaven, may you live long and prosper.

"My seal is the real imperial seal!"

Liu Bang felt that since it was the imperial seal, his was the only legitimate one because he was the ancestor of the Han people!

Everything else is fake!

After passing Jiaotai Hall, you will reach Kunning Palace where the empress lived.

At this time, Empress Xu, who was living in Kunning Palace, smiled. This feeling was really wonderful.

The palace where she lived became a place for anyone to visit and exhibit in later generations. I wonder if the empress who lived there in the future would be used to it.

The people were chattering, while the emperor and his ministers were silent.

Further ahead is the Imperial Garden, but the tour guide recommends not to visit it first, but to walk west to the Chuxiu Palace where Cixi lived for more than 20 years.

"Ah, it's the old witch Cixi! I hate her so much when I study history!" Sun Manting muttered.

"Yeah, yeah, I hate it too. Mr. Zhang said of her: Today she is at Nanyuan, tomorrow she is at Beihai, when will she go back to ancient Chang'an? She sighs that the blood and sweat of the people are all dried up, just to celebrate for one person; at fifty, Ryukyu was ceded, at sixty, Treasure Island was ceded, and now the three northeastern provinces are ceded. It's a pity that the red county and the border are broken, and every time a long birthday comes, the border is lost."

Kangxi heard the name Cixi again, and every time he heard it, it pushed his bottom line!

Lamenting that the blood and sweat of the people are all gone, just to sing and celebrate for one person...

I guess he lives a life of extravagance and luxury.

At the age of fifty, Ryukyu was ceded; at the age of sixty, Formosa was ceded; and now the three northeastern provinces are ceded. Why does this woman cede land every time she celebrates her birthday?!

No wonder! No wonder the Qing Dynasty was so unbearable in the eyes of later generations. He even wanted to drag that Empress Dowager Cixi out and torture her to death!

Qianlong raised his head suddenly, his eyes bloodshot: Who! Who is Cixi? How dare she give my kingdom to someone else? ! ! !

All the dynasties pouted in unison: Rubbish dynasty!
