Chapter 2088

On the morning of new year's day.

Just before dawn, Lin Xi was sleepy. Suddenly, he heard a figure tiptoeing. He quietly pushed open the door and walked to his bed. He saw that he was still snoring. Suddenly, he shouted in his ear, "Uncle Qiao, get up..."

With Lin Xi's six senses, he had known that the visitor was Xiao 11, but because he stayed up too late, he was really sleepy and huddled in bed and didn't bother to move.

As soon as Xiao Yi saw that he ignored himself, he jumped directly into the bed and got into his quilt. At this time, it was snowy outside. Xiao Xi stole in. He was full of wind and snow. It was as cold as iron. Lin Xi jumped up from the bed, hugged Xiao Xi and kneaded her face: "I'm told you to scare me, I'm told you to scare me..."

Xiao 11 giggled and broke free from Lin Xi's arms. He jumped out of bed in a similar way, took a few steps back, knelt down and kowtowed with a childish voice: "Uncle Qiao, I'll pay you a new year's call one by one. Happy New Year..."

Lin Xi suddenly fell asleep when Xiao 11 made such a fuss. When Xiao 11 finished paying respects to the new year, he jumped out of bed and picked her up: "be good, get up, the ground is cold, don't be frozen..."

Xiao 11 shook his head seriously: "Uncle Qiao, you can't get up one by one. You have to give a red envelope to get up one by one..."

Lin Xi patted his forehead. How did he forget this?

He quickly took out the prepared red envelope and stuffed it into xiao11's hand. Xiao11 immediately cheered and stood up happily.

Lin Xi suddenly asked, "have you paid new year's greetings to mom and Dad, grandma Xian, Grandpa Tong and grandma wan..."

Xiao 11 nodded seriously: "well, they have all done obeisance to each other. They are so happy that they gave 11 a lot of red envelopes. Look, uncle Qiao..."

Xiao 11 opened her clothes pocket and Lin Xi looked inside. Good guy, her bags are full of red envelopes. Although she is young, she seems to be a little rich woman.

Of course, this is also the reason why xiao11 is cute and everyone dotes on her.

After Lin Xi dressed and simply washed, he took Xiao 11 to the front hall and said good-bye to his family. Then Xiao 11 asked, "Uncle Qiao, do you want to take them to the Forbidden City today..."

Lin Xi said firmly, "I'm sure to go. My uncle promised one by one that even if the sky fell, my uncle would not break his promise. Let's go to dinner now and start after dinner..."

"Yes, yes, uncle Qiao is the best..."

Xiao 11 raised his hands and cheered. It's not cute.

At the dinner table, Lin Xi was surprised to find that everyone had got up, but he didn't see Tong Yan's father. When he asked, he knew that he left first in the morning because of his work, leaving Tong Yan and WAN Ziying to accompany everyone around the Forbidden City and do what is appropriate for the landlord.

After breakfast, except for sister Bei and Zhao Guodong, they stayed to keep "popularity" for Shenxianju. Others left Shenxianju and set off for the Forbidden City, but they didn't expect that they met their neighbor President Chen as soon as they went out.

Seeing that they were going out, President Chen quickly welcomed them: "happy new year, little brother. Why, are you going out..."

Lin Xi has a good sense of President Chen and has been on several occasions. Last time, he was a righteous hand, and he was also a neighbor. He looked up and didn't look down. Naturally, he was very polite.

In the past few days after he came back, the two families often walked around and were not so unfamiliar.

Lin Xi smiled and said, "President Chen, you are also in good health in the new year. I haven't just come back. Take you to the Forbidden City. Are you..."

President Chen suddenly realized it and said with a smile, "I thought I'd come to pay you a new year's greetings and walk around the neighbors. Since you're going to the Forbidden City, I won't disturb you..."

Lin Xi really didn't expect that President Chen should be so warm, but he didn't think too much. After a few polite words, he said goodbye, took everyone on the bus and went straight to the Forbidden City.

President Chen looked at Lin Xi's back and looked melancholy. It seemed difficult to tell. Then he sighed and turned back to his house.

It seems that the time is not ripe.

In half an hour.

Lin Xi and them came to the main gate of the Forbidden City - outside the Meridian Gate.

Because it is the lunar new year, although Kyoto is jubilant, most outsiders returned to their hometown before the year, but it seems a little cold. Coupled with the heavy snow for several days, it is cold and cold. Although the Forbidden City is open as usual, it is rarely visited.

After Lin Xi got out of the car, he specially told Xiao Min to protect Lin Yunxian personally. Although he didn't think that someone dared to commit murder under his eyes and in the Forbidden City, especially after the assassination, after Tong Fu eliminated the black and evil forces in Kyoto, it was impossible for anyone to dare to take risks. However, for the sake of insurance, Lin Xi was more vigilant.

You can't be too vigilant at any time.

Standing outside the Meridian Gate, Wan Ziying looked at the magnificent Meridian Gate and introduced it to everyone: "this is the main gate of the Forbidden City. The plane is in a 'concave' shape. Its shape is consistent with that of the Meridian Gate of Jinling Forbidden City. It is located on the north-south axis of the Forbidden City, facing the sun in the middle and at the meridian, so it is called Meridian Gate..."

Xiao 11 thought the Meridian Gate was so big and beautiful that he couldn't help laughing and said, "the gate of the emperor's house is so big..."

On the contrary, Lin Yunxian's attitude surprised Lin Xi, as if she had seen it for a long time. There was no accident, but some memories.

Lin Xi doesn't feel puzzled. Did Lin Yunxian come to Bauhinia city in her early years?

Speaking of it, he didn't know much about Lin Yunxian in her early years. He only knew that Lin Yunxian had gone out and met her father before she had her own.

However, it is certain that when Lin Yunxian was young, she must have a wonderful story.

Although Lin Xi had doubts, he didn't think much. Instead, he led Xiao 11 and echoed: "in fact, the Meridian Gate was also called Wufeng building in the Ming Dynasty. It is said in the dream of spring and Ming that the Meridian Gate is the so-called Wufeng building. It can be seen that this common name is much earlier than the Meridian Gate..."

"In addition, according to the records of the unification of the Ming Dynasty · Luzhou, the five Phoenix Tower is located in the mansion. In the middle of Tang Tianyou, Zhang Chong built the city and built the building, and the Phoenix gathered on it because of Ji Rui. During the Five Dynasties, Taizu Liang rebuilt the five Phoenix Tower and Chaoyuan hall in Luoyang. At this time, there was a building named the five Phoenix Tower..."

"As for the name of the gatehouse of the palace city, it can be found in the history of the Song Dynasty: in Luoyang in the western capital, there are 'three hundred steps around the palace city, three gates in the south of the city, and the middle is called Wufeng tower', with a note saying 'because of the old name of the Sui and Tang Dynasties'

"In order to follow the old system, the Meridian Gate was called the five Phoenix Building in the Ming Dynasty, and the upper part of the Meridian Gate is the gatehouse. Its two wings are commonly known as the 'wild goose wing building'. They are staggered in height and echo from left to right. They are shaped like a rosefinch spreading its wings, like a phoenix flying with five heads..."

The crowd looked for prestige and looked at the upper part of the Meridian Gate. As Lin Xi said, it was like a phoenix flying with five wings. It was extremely skillful and in line with royal majesty.

Lin Xi did not say that the Meridian Gate was still the place of the emperor's edict.

In ancient times, the Emperor gave spring cakes on the beginning of spring, cold cakes on the Dragon Boat Festival and flower cakes on the double ninth day. The "new moon" ceremony of issuing the almanac was held every year on the first day of the twelfth lunar month. In case of major war, the army returned triumphantly and the "prisoner offering ceremony" of offering prisoners of war to the emperor was held outside the Meridian Gate.

Not only that, the "tingzhang" that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty punished the ministers was also held at the Meridian Gate.

In the Ming Dynasty, if a minister violated the royal dignity, he tied him out in front of the Meridian Gate for the crime of "going against the scales", spanked him on the east side of the imperial Road, called "tingzhang", which was only a symbolic beating at first, but later developed to killing people. For example, in the 14th year of Zhengde, the Emperor Zhu houzhao wanted to go to Jiangnan to choose beautiful women, and the ministers admonished and dissuaded him. The emperor was angry, and 130 ministers, such as Shu Fen and Huang Gong, received tingzhang, Eleven people were killed on the spot. Wang Yangming, a famous scholar of psychology, was also at the Meridian Gate with a tingzhang because he impeached Liu Jin, the current eunuch,

In addition, Zhu Hourong, the emperor of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, after inheriting the throne, wanted to pursue his biological father Xingxian king as emperor. He was resisted by ministers. More than 100 ministers cried and admonished at zuoshun gate. The emperor ordered the execution of tingzhang punishment and killed 17 people on the spot. Therefore, the saying of "beheading at the Meridian Gate" spread among the people.

The fact is that the Imperial Palace in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was very strict in front of the gate. The beheading of prisoners was by no means here, but had to be escorted to the execution ground in chaishi, vegetable market and other places.

Listening to what Lin Xi said, Wan Ziying sincerely praised: "it seems that I, as a guide, will give way to Xiao Xi. I can't tell the origin of so many allusions..."

Tong Yan seized the opportunity and didn't forget to run. Lin Xi said, "he'll show off. Who doesn't know how much he knows and how capable he is..."

Lin Xi ignored Tong Yan and said to Wan Ziying, "don't say that, aunt Wan. I also want to hang a book bag wherever I say. How dare I steal your limelight..."

It was just a joke. Wan Ziying didn't take it seriously. He asked everyone not to stand. Entering the Meridian Gate is the real Forbidden City.

They didn't find that in the dark corner behind their colleagues walking to the Meridian Gate, there were two pairs of eyes, one of which was full of hatred and resentment.

Two hoarse and obscure voices sounded from the shadows.

"With the support of the king's family, you can do it safely and boldly. Although the boy is good, he is only good. You get the secret skill of the king's family, and his skill is not inferior to him. He makes you so miserable. The opportunity is rare in a thousand years. Don't miss it..."

"I want revenge, to make his life worse than death, to torture him to death

"This time, the Wang family not only gave you a chance, but also prepared a killing array for you. If you can lead him into the urn, you will achieve your wish, but I want to remind you that this is all your personal act, which has nothing to do with my Wang family. Whether it is successful or not, your identity will be forgotten..."

"Please don't worry, chief manager. After today, I will be the servant of the king's family and let the young family send me..."

"If you know the truth, do it. I'll wait for you on Xiangshan Mountain..."

With your words and mine, they plotted a conspiracy in the dark, a conspiracy at the cost of blood.
