C1117 Feng Shui of the Forbidden City (2/2)
The West Six Palace refers to storage palace, Yi Kun Palace, Changchun Palace, Yongshou Palace, Qixiang Palace, and Xiafu Palace.
From the air, the six palaces were like six short horizontal lines in a kendo. They were divided evenly between the emperor and queen.
In fact, many of the complex rules assigned by the ancients had deep ideological roots. The inner court and the outer court were so heavily guarded that on the one hand, they prevented the emperor from wearing a green hat, and on the other hand, they were a kind of disguised blockade of women's rights in the patriarchal society of China.
Women could not be involved in politics, especially when the emperor's women were not courteous. They could not even meet their subjects directly. This was a type of insurance that prevented women from usurping power.
It was a pity that this kind of fuse, which was highly valued by the Ming Dynasty, was not that important in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty. The current Yongzheng was first to make an exception, and then there was the thing that followed.
Xiao Letian had been to the Old Palace more than once in his previous life and was very familiar with the Yangxin Palace.
In the true history of Yangxin Palace, there was only once in history that the curtain was opened wide for the Yangxin Palace. There was only that one time where the woman behind the curtain and the man outside faced each other.
And that time was the day Empress Dowager Long issued her abdication decree. The panicked eunuchs and officials didn't notice that the yellow curtain that separated the empress dowager's face hadn't been lifted at all.
The fire from the armed revolution outside the palace walls lit up half of the mountains and rivers in the south. Northern Yuan Shikai and the other northern vassal lords used their sword like Cao Cao Cao to attack, mercilessly tearing apart the last piece of cloth covering the Great Qing.
A yellow curtain, with him there was imperial power. Every time he was around, a woman was just a woman!
There were always many kinds of inexplicable connections in history. Even if Xiao Letian's previous and present lives were only two completely unrelated parallel worlds, there were still some hidden powers that were linked to each other.
Just like the yellow curtain that had seen a ghost today, forgetting to put it down meant forever forgetting!
”Old Man …” Old Man... Her Majesty is asking you a question! ” Weng Tonghe's train of thoughts that was lingering on the curtain was immediately awoken by Yi Xuan.
”Ah?” ”AHH!” Her Majesty redemption... This humble subject has just recalled that the Ryukyu, Japan and Korea all came together a few years ago, and I beg the empress dowager for her forgiveness! ”
”Not guilty! That's what I'm asking about... Old man, you just went to the Ryukyu a few years ago, you should be very familiar with the situation there. Tell I the details, analyze it for I, what exactly does he want to do? ”
