The world said that the emperor was good, but was the emperor's life really that good?
If he were to ask Zai Chun this, he would definitely deny it. The life of the emperor was actually very tough, as most people could not take it anymore even if they were to wake up in the morning.
In the Qing dynasty, when the emperor woke up around 5 a.m., the empress dowager had to pay her respects to the empress dowager. After that, she had to read mainly the 'True Records', which was the glorious story of the ancestors, to show that she did not forget the piety of her ancestors!
Other than that, there were even some emperors who would practice their martial arts according to their preferences. This method would no longer be fixed!
Two hours later, at seven in the morning, breakfast was served in the royal kitchen! After eating, he rested for a while until 9 o'clock!
At this time, he would be in court until around 11 PM!
If there were any important days on the Grand Commission, the emperor would have to get up at around 4 o'clock. This was because the ministers of the assembly would wake up at 4 o'clock and gather before 7 o'clock!
However, only the Grand Commission would have such looks. If the officials were to be like this everyday, even someone who had been beaten hard would not be able to endure!
Since Zai Chun had already returned to the capital, then everything would have to be done in accordance to the ancestor's rules. Ci Xi had warned repeatedly the night before, to let Zai Chun rest early and not be lazy tomorrow.
”Although you do not have a personal authority, you still have the system of holding court. If you do not go to the Yangxin Palace by eight o'clock, you better be careful not to be impeached!”
”The more you act personally, the more careful you have to be. Don't let those little people see it as a reality!”
The mother was afraid that the child would fall asleep, so she allowed the political enemy to use this opportunity to grab onto Little Plaits. But Ci Xi did not expect that the eunuch he sent to call the His Majesty for the morning of the next day would actually come empty!
At five in the morning, the Mind Nurturing Gate had already opened, and even the Inner Right Gate had opened. There was no trace of Zai Chun anywhere in the Yangxin Palace, so the eunuchs who were guarding the door knew that the His Majesty had left the Yangxin Palace a quarter of an hour ago!
”The His Majesty is up? So early? ”It's still dark …”
”Hehe …” You don't understand? His Majesty has to set his alarm clock before he goes to sleep. At the latest five o'clock, he can get up on time at four-thirty! ”
”You went for morning practice, hurry up and take a look at the archery pavilion, His Majesty is definitely training there with the imperial guards!”
Xiao Letian's education for Zai Chun was completely militarized, getting up early from bed was a given. The army's habit of going to bed early at five o'clock was already, Zai Chun, for five years already!
From the Ryukyu to Europe, other than major diplomatic events and sickness, Zai Chun had never been lazy!
Running three kilometers a day was the basics. After ten days of running five kilometers a day, he would have to practice hand-to-hand combat for half an hour before he could eat breakfast!
A group of young eunuchs carried lanterns as they ran towards Scenic Gate. After the Scenic Gate was a vast open field!
The pavilion was at the northernmost part of the clearing. It had been built four years ago in the early days of Shunzhi. The purpose of this pavilion was to allow future generations of descendants to ride their horses and practice archery!
In order to not let future generations forget the difficulties of the ancestors when they fought in the martial arts world, to maintain the martial arts spirit of future generations!
And the martial arts champion's hall was also here!
It was still dark outside at five o'clock in the winter. The only thing that could be seen was the white of fish belly in the east. The vague outline of a tall building in the Forbidden City could be seen in the east.
As the eunuchs carrying lanterns ran past the Scenic Gate, they heard loud and clear shouts!
”One two one …” One two one … One... Two... Three... ”Four …”
The boots stomped on the stone floor in an orderly manner. A team wearing a new military uniform was running in circles in front of the archery booth!
Yesterday, Zai Chun went through a palace change and obtained the right to guard the Forbidden City. Three hundred Manchu s were stationed near the Donghua Gate.
