Chapter 309: Going to the Forbidden City
Chaochao had already come out of the Old Summer Palace. She was silent all the way.
Even though she was young, she actually understood most of it. She knew how tragic the war their ancestors had experienced.
So, will Da Qi also face these things in the future?
She didn't want to, so she was more eager to make Daqi become more and more powerful, so powerful that no one could bully them.
Jian Yunsang and He Nanzhou looked at each other. They knew that bringing Chaochao to such a place, it was inevitable to know the tragic history.
In fact, they also want Chao Chao to know that remembering history and patriotic education should start from childhood.
Not only Chaochao, but even Yuanyuan, who was always noisy, felt very depressed and sad after listening to it.
The two little ones were obviously not in the mood to go shopping anymore, so I simply took them back to the hotel and even served them meals.
Fortunately, they digested it overnight, and by the next day, their mood had finally recovered a lot.
We went to the Forbidden City that day. Chao Chao was very curious, "Mom, what kind of palace is the Forbidden City?"
Before Jian Yunsang could answer, Yuanyuan said proudly, "Ask me about this. I know. This is where the emperor lived before. It's the imperial palace."
Emperor Jingxuan, "..."
The memorial in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, and his face was full of an expression as if he was hallucinating.
Cao Qing, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but shrink his neck. He carefully picked up the memorial and placed it quietly on the imperial desk.
Just as he was about to retreat, he saw Emperor Jingxuan suddenly turn around, looked at him, pointed at the sky and asked, "Just now, what did you hear just now? What palace did Yuanyuan say the Forbidden City is?"
Cao Qing swallowed hard, "Your Majesty, that is, that is the imperial palace."
He felt secretly bitter in his heart. He didn't have to attend court today, so there were no officials in front of the emperor and he was the only one serving by his side.
If he had known this earlier, he would have asked for leave today and let his apprentice take his place for a day.
But what he didn't know was that at this moment, all the officials who were on duty in the yamen were also feeling extremely fortunate.
Fortunately, there was no court session today, otherwise after hearing these words, they really wouldn’t know how to face the emperor.
Descendants of later generations, please don't be so outrageous. You visited the tombs, you went to the royal gardens, and now you even visit the emperor's home?
They have to ask for permission before entering the palace, and they are very careful when walking within the palace walls. You are really ridiculous.
"But then again, I haven't seen what the harem looks like. I wonder if I can go to court to see it today." One of the bold officials couldn't help but mutter.
The people around him glared at him and said, "We don't know if this Forbidden City in the future is the same palace as our Daqi."
That's right, the imperial palace of Daqi, the previous dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty were not in the same place.
Emperor Jingxuan and all the civil and military officials were so shocked, and the common people were even more shocked.
"No, they went to play in the emperor's residence? Then, where did the emperors of later generations live?"
"That's right. Can the emperor allow them to enter?"
Someone who had a little more knowledge snorted, "You don't understand this, right? How many years have passed between the later generations and us? Their palace is definitely not the same as our Daqi. The palace of the previous dynasty was still in Jiangnan. When our Daqi Emperor Gaozu came to power, the capital was moved. Then the palace of the previous dynasty is just empty there, isn't it?"
When the people heard this, they thought, well, it makes sense, and they could accept it.
Cao Qing also thought of this, and he could only comfort Emperor Jingxuan in this way.
Emperor Jingxuan thought about it and finally calmed down.
Until... Chao Chao and they stepped into the gate of the Forbidden City.
Emperor Jingxuan stood up from his chair again and couldn't help cursing.
"Fuck!" Isn't this exactly the same as the palace he currently lives in?
Those people in Daqi who knew the layout of the palace were silent.
How should I put it? Seeing that the palace had become a tourist attraction, they felt very subtle and complicated.
Even the Queen Mother in the harem sighed helplessly.
Originally the harem had a sense of mystery, but now it is completely gone.
Sure enough, after Chao Chao and his group finished touring the huge Forbidden City, there was a huge discussion about the imperial palace among the people.
"So this is the house that the Emperor, Empress Dowager and others live in?"
"The house doesn't look that big."
"Why isn't it big? The house is small, but the palace is big."
"But don't you think that there are so many people in the whole palace? There are already three thousand beauties in the harem."
Emperor Jingxuan later accidentally heard such rumors and felt extremely tired.
After returning to the palace, she discussed with the Queen Mother whether to let a group of palace maids leave the palace.
Of course, this is all in the past.
For Chaochao, the Forbidden City is actually very big. Although it is not as big as the Old Summer Palace and the Summer Palace, this is purely a walk. The two gardens he visited yesterday could be visited by boat and car, but the same was not possible for the Forbidden City. After visiting all the palaces, Chaochao was already lying on He Nanzhou's back.
Not only him, Yuanyuan also leaned on He Zheyan and was unwilling to come down.
Seeing how tired the two children looked, they simply went back to the hotel.
Anyway, they are not in a hurry. There are many tourist attractions in the capital, and it doesn’t matter if they visit one place a day.
So, on the third day they went to climb the Great Wall.
Emperor Jingxuan looked at the magnificent fortifications built to defend against foreign enemies, which were crowded with tourists, and he really didn't know what to say.
Things in later generations are always so magical and...reasonable.
Every time I come back from the Great Wall, my heart is still pounding.
The attractions in Beijing are really worth seeing, including the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Old Summer Palace, and the Temple of Heaven. Every time I go to a place, I feel shocked every time.
Just when she was looking forward to where to go tomorrow, He Nanzhou said to her, "Tomorrow is the day when your sister Chuchu starts her military training. Do you want to go and see her?"
He had promised the Emperor of Daqi that he would let them take a closer look at what soldiers in later generations would look like.
Although military training is not for soldiers, it should still be of reference value.
Emperor Jingxuan could understand what military training meant, but...what did this military training have to do with Shen Ruochu? Didn't she fail the conscription? Why did she have to train?
Chao Chao was also curious, "Dad, what is military training?"
"Yes, it is a military training jointly implemented by education departments and military agencies at all levels." He Nanzhou patiently explained to her, "When Chaochao goes to high school and college, he will also have to undergo military training. Your eldest cousin has undergone military training."
Chao Chao looked at He Zheyan in surprise, and the latter smiled and nodded.
Yuanyuan complained, "He was in military training for half a month, and when he came back he was tanned like charcoal."
He Zheyan flicked his forehead and said, "It's only a few years until you go to high school. Let's see how white you can be by then."
