Live streaming life: The ancients begged not to stop

Chapter 259

"The system will pick someone up."

"Li Le of the Ming Dynasty."

Qi Cheng checked the system. This person was a Han general during the Yongle period, responsible for the emperor's protection, and belonged to the famous Jinyiwei.

But they are not as famous as the Northern and Southern Pacification Offices.

"Last night's video talked about how the Qing Dynasty was protecting against assassins... Could it be that the palace guards back then were lax, or was it just the emperor's personal preference?"

Yongzheng: Of course it’s to protect against assassins!

"Of course the palace was heavily guarded, but there were loopholes. And it wasn't just during the Qing Dynasty; there were also loopholes during the Ming Dynasty. I'll look for some information and share it with you."

What? There was a loophole in the Ming and Qing imperial palace security?

Ming Emperor: Impossible! We are impregnable!

Emperor of the Qing Dynasty: Impossible! We are as stable as Mount Tai!

……

"Let's first talk about the case in the Ming Dynasty. It was during the late Wanli Emperor's reign. The eldest son at the time, who later became Emperor Taichang, was not very favored by Wanli."

"Wanli prefers the son born to Concubine Zheng."

"Later, a middle-aged man suddenly broke into the Eastern Palace, injured an old eunuch, and then attacked Taichang, who was still a prince. Thanks to the help of several eunuchs, this man was caught."

"According to the interrogation, this man is called Zhang Cha, and he is from Jizhou. However, he speaks inconsistently and seems like a madman."

"After the man was handed over to the Ministry of Justice, word spread that he was under the orders of Concubine Zheng and wanted to kill the crown prince and install Concubine Zheng's son on the throne."

"However, Wanli did not accept his words and simply executed Zhang Cha as a madman."

"This is the case of the assassination with a club, one of the three major crimes in the late Ming Dynasty."

"The specific instigator of this case has been lost in history, but later generations speculated that it might have been done by civil officials. Because Taichang had no teacher at the time, they might have wanted to influence Taichang through this case."

"It was later proven that there was no problem. As soon as Taichang came to power, he promoted the Donglin Party. If he hadn't died three months later, the Ming Dynasty might not have lasted so many years."

Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his hair stood on end. What kind of emperor and prince was this? What kind of guards were they for? They had people carrying sticks and beating the prince.

The master humiliates the minister and he dies!

Is the power of the civil servants really that great? I really should leave a knife behind. When the time comes, if these officials are dishonest, I can use this knife to kill them.

But who should be kept, the eunuchs or the relatives by marriage?

Zhu Di was even more angry and started cursing. It was not like him at all that a young and strong man could be beaten so easily.

I can leave Mongolia five times.

"Let the princes learn some close combat skills, especially the eldest brother. We must strengthen his training!"

Tang Dynasty

No wonder Ming Dynasty died during the Wanli reign. Even the imperial palace was not well guarded.

"Come here, strengthen the guards in all palaces, especially the Prince's East Palace." Li Shimin thought about what Tianmu mentioned, and it seemed that his Tang Dynasty was not because of the civil servants.

But it’s because of the military generals.

We have to find a way to suppress it a little.

……

"During the Ming Dynasty, there were cases of people being attacked with a club. The Qing Dynasty's imperial palace was no exception, and there were even cases that were even bigger than the one involving a club. Let's talk about a simple one first."

"During the Qing Dynasty, a peddler picked up a waist plaque and followed a line of merchants delivering goods to the palace. He even sold steamed buns in a square."

"And he kept selling it out for three years until the palace checked his badges and he was exposed."

waste!

Emperor Yongzheng slammed the table heavily. What bastard’s descendant did this happen? Are there no rules in the palace at all?

Any street vendor could enter the palace.

It seems that the palace must have become a sieve, and anything can leak out.

"This incident is just a small one. The next one is a big one. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong's son, Jiaqing (1813), the Tianli Sect launched an uprising. They really had wild ideas."

"Some people started an uprising directly in the capital. Over 200 people, led by eunuchs, stormed the palace. The defending general, Ling Ce, turned and ran away."

"The attacking Taiping Heavenly Kingdom members had already entered Longzong Gate, and some had even reached the outside of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Emperor Jiaqing was not in the palace at the time. Fortunately, the second son, Minning, quickly calmed himself and ordered the eunuchs to fetch muskets, scatter bags, swords, etc., and shot and killed two Taiping Heavenly Kingdom members who had climbed the wall."

"It took days of arrests to suppress the uprising."

Zhu Di: I feel much more balanced now!

Kangxi's face was darker than coal. Wanli didn't even know how many generations of Yongle's descendants he was, but Jiaqing was his great-grandson.

The attack reached the Yangxin Palace, and if we walked further we would reach the harem.

"Father Emperor, you don't need to worry. These bandits only cause chaos when the Emperor is away. And this prince Min Ning has handled the situation very well. He is definitely a wise ruler."

After listening to the third brother's words, Kangxi's expression finally improved a little.

The prince spoke at this time: "Third brother, what you said is not right. Didn't you see when it happened? I'm afraid it was during the next emperor's reign that he lost to the foreigners."

Several ministers wanted to object, but seeing that the fourth and eighth princes did not say anything, they took a step back, thinking that this matter might be true.

The prince is so angry that the emperor is about to die, but what does this have to do with them? Whoever comes to power has to use them.

Sure enough, Kangxi glanced at the prince and told them all to get out.

Emperor Qianlong smashed a few more Hetian jade bottles before he vented his anger. Without saying anything else, he would first find out who Ling Ce was. He wanted to throw this escaped bastard into Nerchinsk.

Don’t even think about coming back in your next life.

"Someone, come and check the eunuchs in the palace. They actually helped the Tianli Sect. Are these people brainless?" Qianlong felt that the eunuchs around him were quite smart. How could there be such idiots in the palace?

"Give it to the emperor's grandson... Never mind, let him come to the palace. I will educate him myself in the future."

Emperor Daoguang recalled the scene of himself killing the enemies. It was easy to kill the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom followers, but it was too difficult to handle the government affairs, especially since he was so frugal.

But the money was embezzled by the Imperial Household Department and the eunuchs in the palace.

He wanted to develop cannons and muskets, but the prince who had been carrying bird cages for many years told him that the laws of his ancestors could not be changed.

There is really no other way.

……

This Han general named Li Le received silver from the palace. A few days ago, the higher-ups issued a notice that whoever was chosen would raise the issue of the Qing Dynasty.

Based on the host's answer, you can go to the palace to get rewards.

But this time, because it involves the Ming Dynasty, I was a little more cautious.
