Xi'an Prefecture was known as the South Courtyard and the North Courtyard at that time. The South Courtyard housed the provincial government office, and the North Courtyard was the residence of the former Shaanxi-Gansu Governor's Office. There were hundreds of large houses on the site, and the two palaces lived in the North Courtyard. Although this place is not as spacious as the Forbidden City in Beijing, it still has the royal style of the elders. How magnificent was the Daming Palace back then? It is 4.5 times larger than the Forbidden City . However, the Queen Mother of the West was not blessed at the right time in her life and had long been destroyed by the Anshi Rebellion . Now that you live in the "safe", your original life of luxury and lust will be restored. First of all, the royal dining room should be set up as it is in Beijing: meat bureau, vegetarian bureau, vegetable bureau, meal bureau, porridge bureau, tea bureau, cheese bureau, snack bureau and other "bureaus" that are not famous. The Queen Mother must have 106 or 108 dishes in every meal. Does this include these types of meals? I don’t know the details, so I don’t dare to judge. I just know the luxurious “style” of Lafayette. By the way, next summer, Empress Cixi suddenly remembered to eat iced sour plum soup. Please note that the sun is scorching hot in the summer in Guanzhong . Where can I find ice? The "chief" of the imperial dining room was worried. The "magic power" of power showed up again. When the news came out, local people came to report: Taibai Mountain, more than a hundred miles southwest of Chang'an City, is also one of the eight scenic spots in Chang'an. There is a mountain in the mountain. The cave was deep and cool, and there was ice that would not melt for thousands of years. So the local officials were ordered to send people to transport ice every day. Think about it, there were no cars or trains like today at that time.

As mentioned in the previous section: Guanzhong has a good harvest in one year and enough food in three years. However, the year before Yujia came here, a severe drought began, which lasted for three years. Now I can see that most of the people are sallow and thin, and people are dying of hunger in the streets. After Cixi's brother arrived, he hired a maid and said that her family had two fields of grain but no food to eat. She came here to be hired only to have food to eat, not wages. The current disaster situation is evident. However, in such a desolate year, the emperor and the empress dowager sat firmly in the palace to guard and strictly control the situation. They did not care about the people's livelihood. The princes and ministers turned a blind eye and listened but did not listen. They only knew how to flatter Cixi every day by lying to him. People's lives are in danger and no one cares about them, and one person is more likely to take advantage of others than others. The general manager of the department Li Lianying was given priority to seek profits near the water, and the official who sold the title must pass through his hands. When he returned to Beijing, the tribute he received was more than half of Cixi's, and he used two thousand carts to carry it.

According to the records of Cixi's tribe, Cixi spent many years in Xi'an, not counting the country's demise, and the people could not be disturbed, so she just knocked bones and sucked marrow to satisfy her own enjoyment. After settling in Xi'an, the grand palace was restored. The number of princes and ministers attending court every day gradually increased to nearly a hundred, and eunuchs also moved in one after another from Beijing. On the one hand, the imperial court urged an early "peace negotiation"; on the other hand, it ignored the frequent natural disasters and continuous military disasters in various provinces, and only wanted to continue to maintain peace and prosperity in central Shaanxi. He ordered that the rice from the south of the Yangtze River should be paid in cash at a discount of half, and half of the rice should be transported ashore in Xuzhou and then transported by land to Xi'an. For a year, from morning to night every day, Chang'an's eastern suburbs avenue was bustling with traffic, including an endless stream of grain and silver trucks.

also said that Cixi was very fun-loving and had a variety of plays, but she never felt bored. There is only one low-level Peking Opera class in Xi'an, which is not to their taste. Li Lianying searched for local opera troupes in Shaanxi and recruited them to sing in the palace. Even storytellers who decorated dishes with flowers were also patronized by him. Sometimes he and his wife would play pig-herding games for fun, bet gold balls and ingots, or write and paint for fun.

No one cares about the people's livelihood, and the nobles in the palace are free!
