Pavilion at the foot of Weizishan

There are piles of Xiushan in the imperial garden of the Forbidden City, and there is an imperial pavilion on the mountain. Many tourists think this is a very good tourist attraction, but in fact it is a very mysterious place. It is said that this place is directly related to whether Yongzheng can inherit the throne. If you want to explore the truth of the matter, I'll reveal it for you! Let me introduce the relevant contents in detail for you.

In the 11th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wanli ordered the demolition of the flower viewing hall in the northeast of the Imperial Garden, and built a rockery with a height of14m with Taihu Stone. A pavilion named Yujingge was built on the rockery. Because the method of piling stones used by craftsmen at that time was called "piling embroidery", the rockery was named "piling embroidery mountain"

After the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, the old name of the Ming Dynasty was used in the Forbidden City. The name "Dui Xiushan" was used until the Qianlong period, and the emperor Qianlong changed it to "Dui Xiushan".

The rockery is rugged, with exquisite stacking technology and stone paths in the mountains. Emperors of the Qing Dynasty can climb to the top of the mountain step by step, and they can have a panoramic view from the pavilion on the top of the mountain, whether it is pine and cypress, vines, flowers, the scenery of the royal garden or the majestic Forbidden City.

But in the Qing dynasty, the situation was very different. During the Yongzheng period, four people took turns to be on duty in front of the rockery wooden door, and the rotation day and night never stopped. Heap Xiushan never allows outsiders to get involved, and there is a special person in charge of observation in the royal pavilion. Who the hell are these people? It turns out that they are all "spies" who belong to the stick.

As the name implies, the "sticky pole place" is an institution that catches cicadas or dragonflies with sticky poles. This institution was established when Yongzheng was a prince. When Yongzheng was young, he liked quiet, was afraid of the heat, and was upset by the cicada singing outside the window. So young people were recruited to form sticky poles, whose duty was to drive and arrest Xia Chan with sticky poles and create a quiet environment for Prince Yong.

At that time, Emperor Kangxi was dying, and all the princes were coveting the throne. Although Prince Yong seems to be indifferent to the throne, he secretly ordered the stick to carry out espionage. Each of them is good at climbing, tracking and tracking, and immediately reports to Prince Yong at the first sign of trouble. It is a great contribution for Prince Yong to get the throne and become Yong Zhengdi.

After Yongzheng acceded to the throne, the sticky pole was not abolished, but expanded a lot. They only take orders from the emperor and carry out espionage activities, which is quite trusted by the emperor.

However, it is puzzling that instead of monitoring the court ministers, why did Sticker stay on Xiushan day and night? What is the secret? Experts speculate that there are three main reasons:

1. Responsible for the safety of the emperor.

As we said before, the height of Xiushan is 14 meter. If you reach the top, you can see everything in the palace. The staff on duty here need to observe the movement of Miyagi in real time, find suspicious people or things, and report to the guards and guards in time, which can not only play an early warning role, but also ensure the safety of the emperor.

2. The secret passage of the palace

Legend has it that Yong Zhengdi made too many enemies, so he dug a tunnel between the Palace and Harmony Palace, and an entrance of this tunnel was hidden in the rockery of Xiushan. Yongzheng was afraid of changes in the future, so he opened a tunnel. One is to leave such a retreat for yourself, and the other is to meet some mysterious people who are inconvenient to show up. So Yongzheng ordered these confidants in the sticky pole to guard here to prevent secrets from leaking out.

Transfer information

The palace is a place with ulterior motives, and there are all kinds of whirlpool reefs everywhere, which can be described as dangerous. Yong Zhengdi's crime of espionage is reported in secret. Once the outside world is abnormal, when people in the Lama Temple transmit information to the Forbidden City through the tunnel, the sticky members of Dui Xiushan will receive the information at the first time and transmit it to Yong Zhengdi, so as to ensure that the emperor can handle it in time without wasting precious time.

Yong Zhengdi was the most mysterious emperor in the Qing Dynasty, but in the final analysis, the above three points are just speculation. For its authenticity, wise readers need to scrutinize and judge for themselves. ...
