C1116 The Forbidden City in a state of consternation (2/2)

Normally, the Inner Palace would occupy the territory after the Qian Qing sect, so it was very hard for Foreign ministers to set foot there. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, when the Emperor's orders were passed down in the sky street at the entrance to the Inner Palace, the ministers and officials would have to kneel down to receive the Emperor's orders. Even the people from the Palace could not enter from the Inner Palace.

When it came to the Qing Dynasty, the rules were slightly relaxed, especially when it was the Yongzheng. Although the inaugurated emperor should be living in the Qian Qing Palace, he didn't like the big palace. Instead, he moved his living and office space to the west side of the Yangxin Palace.

Not only that, the Yongzheng Emperor had also changed the small bungalows on the side of the street closest to the Yangxin Palace into the Military Intelligence Service. The location where the Empire's core officials were working was also moved from the Cabinet Hall next to the gate to the middle of the Forbidden City.

According to the Ming dynasty's rules of etiquette, the imperial palace could not be entered by men who were not related to each other. This was also why the Manchu did not care too much about the etiquette of the Han Chinese.

In truth, the Qing Dynasty thought that she had protected the Confucian tradition of etiquette. In reality, in the eyes of a true Chinese scholar, they were forever barbarians.

For example, Weng Zhongtang, who was standing in the East Warm Pavilion, lowered her head and looked down 45 degrees, focusing her gaze on the empty throne. From this angle, he could see the bed behind the emperor's throne, and the two women on it.

It was chaos, it was truly chaos, the yellow curtain that was hanging down to hear political affairs was still in a mess, this was too disrespectful, but Li Lianying still vividly remembered how she was beaten up just now, so Weng Tonghe would not be so foolish as to take the initiative to remind him.

He sighed in his heart, ”The rules have been changed too much. It's not bad this time. Just think of me as blind!” Do not look at him unless he is being courteous, or say anything when he is being courteous! ”

Very soon, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Two powerful princes rushed in from outside while their foreheads were covered in sweat from the heat.

Seeing his two uncles so nervous, the sister-in-law couldn't keep a straight face anymore, so Ci Xi quickly said, ”Are you both dead people without eyes? The two princes were sweating profusely. Did they not run over from the afternoon gate? ”Why don't you prepare a horse and palanquin?”

Li Lianying and the rest were so scared that they quickly kneeled on the ground, not daring to make a sound. They could only wave their hands, ”We can't blame them, I was too anxious. Forget it. Let's get down to business. Where is the telegram? ”Let me see …”

There was an extra group of men in the room, and the uncourteous Weng Tonghe finally spoke up, ”My two lords, the telegram is here! Other than that, I would suggest for Yang Zhi to come over as well. He has followed Xiao Letian before, so he should still be able to give some advice on the matters of the Ryukyu … ”

”Office... Just do it, old man, you are right, quickly send someone to fetch Yang Zhi! ”

Ci An was silent for a long time before finally speaking, ”Whenever there is a need for peace of mind, please take your seat first! ”This old man has been standing there for a long time …” Everyone quickly cupped their hands in thanks before they all sat down.

However, it was also strange that no one had noticed the abnormality of the apricot-colored curtain. It had obviously been put down and left open.

If he wanted Xiao Letian to know what had happened today, he would definitely sigh endlessly, and perhaps even let out a trace of nostalgia for his previous life.
