Chapter 122
full flag descendants Aisin Jueluo Puchen and loyal king. At the time of the storm in the Geng year of the Qing Dynasty, the two brothers went to the Beijing Imperial City to spy on the current situation and look for opportunities.
At this time, the 21st day of the first lunar month of the Geng year, it was the third day of leaving Yanzun Hongmo Village. At around 11 o'clock in the morning on February 20, 1900, the mule car hired by Puchen and Zhongjun drove to the wide street outside the Xizhimen, Beijing, and saw various means of transportation, walking alone, rushing around, shuttle back and forth, pulling rubbish horse manure everywhere, and no one cleaned it up, and begging people begging in groups. If the Great Imperial City was simply a mess. The driver lamented and vented his difficulties: Look, the country is like this. You can walk around the imperial city again, and the soldiers are in chaos everywhere, and the people are living in poverty. Can I still hold on to this?

It is one of the nine gates in the inner city of the capital, and is the largest city gate building except for Zhengyangmen . Please see, the grand city tower, arrow tower, and urn are worthy of being the most important gates in the capital! A few years ago, I opened the Xizhimen to the Bluestone Road in the Summer Palace, and I have been renovating the Xizhimen Tower. You can look up and see that there are scaffoldings on that corner tower!
Puchen and Zhongjun sat on the car and looked towards the west straight gate. They saw the towering city tower, the marble tower and the gate tower extending to the south side of the city tower. The continuous stretches for hundreds of meters is very spectacular, highlighting the extraordinary temperament. The two brothers couldn't help but exclaim. The driver pointed to the direction of the Wengcheng and said: You two, look carefully! The northwest and southwest sides of the Wucheng are right angles, unlike other city gates, which are semicircular in the crescent moon, but only the east and west zhimen wucheng of the Imperial City are right angles. But the elderly still call the wall along the moat Xizhimen Wengcheng, and the streets on both sides of the city wall are called Yueyuner Street.
carriage was in the vista and said vividly. In the blink of an eye, the horse car came to the city gate. Xizhimen was guarded by Zhenghongqi . A large wanted notice was posted on the wall of the city gate. All the people entering the city stopped to watch. Today, the horsemen were watching the notice first, and the soldiers confirmed their identity before they allowed them to enter the city gate.
city guards warned repeatedly, and the three had to get off the car and approached the notice to take a closer look: This is the wanted Reform Movement of 100,000 yuan Kang Youwei : The content is the Empress Dowager Cixi ordered a reward of 100,000 yuan in silver to be wanted criminals, and listed Kang Youwei's reform and rebellion, conspiracy to assassinate Empress Dowager Cixi and other heinous crimes, and he should die if he was unforgivable. Since last autumn and winter, the imperial court has continuously sent imperial envoys to various places to hunt down Kang Youwei and clear the storm of the city.
More than a year ago, the country was in the Reform Movement of 1898, and the people knew that Puchen and loyal to the emperor were even more intimate and related to their cause and effect: Kang Youwei, the reformists of 1898 and Liang Qichao, and advocated the Westernization reform of Emperor Guangxu. It was just implemented from June 11 to September 21, 1898, and the Empress Dowager Cixi, who was in power and ruled behind the curtain, quickly launched the coup in Wuxu. Soon Emperor Guangxu was imprisoned, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao fled to France and Japan in a panic, and the six gentlemen of 1899 were killed, and the reform lasted 103 days failed.
Since then, Empress Dowager Cixi has been ordering the imperial envoy to chase and kill Kang Youwei, who was extremely angry in various places. After reading the notice, the two brothers whispered to Puchen: The reward was only a few thousand taels of silver at the beginning, but now the reward is over 100,000! This time Empress Dowager Cixi issued another edict, no matter how life or death is rewarded, Kang Fei will never escape!
Pu Chen nodded in agreement: No! The reward is increased step by step, and he can't catch it anymore. Even if he escapes to a foreign country, he has no way to survive. Think about it! If Empress Dowager Cixi spends millions of money, no one of the powers in various countries will fight to kill Kang and rob the heavy silver!
Puchen and Zhongjun were chatting quietly. The driver read the notice briefly and had already run to the soldiers guarding the city gate to negotiate: he had known each other long ago when he often entered and left the city gate. He was dressed in a flag-man costume, and the driver told him that the two masters were royal families. They went to the city to visit the Duan County Prince's Mansion, and the soldiers immediately let them go. In fact, as it was almost noon, the driver started to roar in hunger, and he really wanted to go to the city to go to the bustling street to get two snacks.
There is a carriage to pull the car, and the car passed through Xizhimen smoothly. Zhongjun and Puchen felt that the inner street of Xizhimen was more prosperous than the street outside the city. The street was wide and the road was relatively flat and neat. There were shops on both sides. The doors and faces were covered with cloth guises and guises fluttering in the wind. There were bamboo baskets, baskets, clothes, tobacco, wine and tea and other daily necessities in the store.
There are more restaurants and snack shops that operate food near the city. Some small business dealers simply set up stalls in front of their doors, presenting a long snake array. Near noon, shouts came one after another.
The driver stopped the carriage in front of a food stall and said to Puchen and Zhongjun: Let's get some here. We ran for a long time, and I must be so hungry that I felt so hungry. In fact, we will arrive at Duan County Prince's Mansion in a few minutes. I think it's better to have a full stomach first. Your relatives don't have to eat for you. I will take on the job as well!
OK, OK, it’s reasonable, it’s a good idea! Zhongjun and Puchen got off the car in response. It seems that the carriage is a regular visitor to the stall owner. After greeting each other, he saw that it was three diners and immediately gave up his seat on the long case. Then, Xiaobazi, Qilin Crisp, Shaqima , donkey rolling , and various kinds of cakes and three bowls of bean juice were placed on a large table. Puchen was about to rush to give the money, and the driver smiled and said: Don’t be busy first. Just pick up what you like and taste it. After eating, you can make a final decision. The old customer gets 20% off. This is the most affordable and is all authentic imperial cakes.
The driver picked up a donkey and ate it first. He said that he likes to eat sticky food the most. Most of the donkeys made in this family like to eat. He can eat at most ten at a time. Maybe he is eating it, and some customers urged him to set off. The destination of a hundred miles is running until dark, and only when the donkey rolls.
Puchen and Zhongjun also ate, and took a break from their busy schedule to eat while watching the street scene.
The driver was in high spirits and chatted: Look, Xizhimen Inner Street is not simple, it is the main road for royal travel! The emperor's family visited his relatives, and the loess was laid out, and the clear water was splashed, three bows and nine bows, and drums and music were heard. The whole street was so majestic!
Looking toward that, there are seven wells on the north side of the street designed for sprinkling roads, which are evenly arranged. Usually, the iron cover is sealed, but the people are not allowed to open it without permission. The loess in Dianlu should be taken from Daliushu Village in Xiwai, and there are seventeen neat and wide alleys on both sides of the road.
There is a bridge in the middle section of Xizhimen Nei Street, called Hengqiao. In the early years, there was a river under the bridge. The river trough in the Yuan Dynasty has long been dry.
The four-mile radius of the inner street is located in the area of four miles, with temples, Taoist temples, royal palaces, churches, shops, schools, etc., with rigorous layout;
Chongyuan Temple was built in the Ming Dynasty and commonly known as "Cao Lao Husband Temple". The famous Catholic Church of the Imperial City is located in the south of the middle section of Xizhimen Street.
This will mainly eat. I won’t say it anymore. In a few days, you will have time to wander around here. After the coach said that, Pu Chen couldn't help but feel complacent: There are two Feng Shui treasure land in Xizhimen. My family has two old ancestors who have been with me. One is working in the Duan County Prince's Mansion not far from the intersection of the street. The other is that my ancestors once served as a service for the 14th Prince of the Emperor. The Xun County Prince's Mansion is on the back half of the street in Xizhimen. When I was young, I came to visit him with my father, but now I can't remember it.This time I went out, I first went to the house of a distant relative on Neixi Street, Xizhimen, Beijing, to facilitate the movement.
The driver then said: I need to look at my distant relatives. My family also has relatives in Xizhimen, but it is too far away from each other! We are just embarrassed to get involved. According to the ancestors of Manqin, this place has always been a blessed place where Manqin lives. The north of the street is the Zhenghuang Banner tribe, and the south of the road is the Zhenghong Banner Tribe. There are as many as six or seven prince’s mansions in the street-facing alley. On the north side of the street are Hui County Prince's Mansion and Beile Yongqi Mansion; on the south side of the street are Taijun Wangfu and Xun County Prince's Mansion; on the south side of the street are Cheng County Prince's Mansion and Guoqing Mansion; on the south side of the street are Nanjiaochang Nanjiaochang; at the intersection of Banbi Street, Nanxiaojie, there is also the Han Army Office of Zhenghuang Banner. Just say it casually, this is not a place where our descendants are proud and proud!
Some people were having a chat in the blink of an eye and had lunch. They just had lunch a little closer. The driver successfully sent Pu Chen and Zhongjun to the house of a relative at the intersection of West Street, Street, near Duan County Prince's Mansion and then left.
