What are the legends and stories in the Forbidden City in Beijing?

1, Ming Shizong: One emperor killed three queens.

The Forbidden City is an ultra-luxurious palace, and the Kunning Palace dedicated to the Queen is one of them. The original intention of Kunning Palace is peace, but in the history of Ming and Qing Dynasties, three queens died in Kunning Palace.

(1) Empress Chen: Ming Shizong, Emperor Jiajing, with a beautiful face, believed in ghosts and gods. The queen mother, his aunt, chose a queen for him, Queen Chen. Zhang Taihou is his aunt after all. Naturally, she is not at ease. She dislikes her because she suspects that she is a spy's eye contact inserted beside him. Later, Queen Chen was pregnant with his child. When chatting with Queen Chen, I took a fancy to a nearby maid-in-waiting and made out with her in front of her. Empress Chen was so angry that she pushed down the maid-in-waiting and gave Emperor Jiajing a face. Emperor Jiajing kicked her leg without saying anything, and Queen Chen died of miscarriage.

(2) Empress Zhang: The queen conferred by the maid-in-waiting has never been pregnant, and Emperor Jiajing got a folk treasure-Ganoderma lucidum. The emperor was afraid of being dirty, so he gave the emperor a medicine test. As a result, he got food poisoning, so he advised the emperor not to eat it. The emperor didn't listen, got angry and went into the cold palace. Queen Zhang was ill and angry in the cold palace, and she was so angry.

(3) Fang Empress: Emperor Jiajing loved the princess. It is said that I lived here that night, but in the middle of the night, because the emperor was tortured by his menstrual blood alchemy, more than a dozen maids tried to strangle him and failed. The queen took the opportunity to kill Duan Fei on the pretext that what happened in Duan Fei's room was not clean. Emperor Jiajing was very angry when he learned that. Later, the Queen Fang's palace caught fire, and Jiajing ordered not to save her and burned her alive.

2. Guangxu cried with the queen on their wedding night.

Emperor Guangxu was not born of Empress Dowager Cixi. Guangxu is powerless. In order to control him, Cixi married his niece, Ye Hena Lashi (Queen Yulong). Guangxu didn't like her, and the marriage almost didn't work out. There was a rule when the Qing emperor got married. You have to go through five doors when you get married, and then you have to stay in Kunning Palace for two days. Before marriage, the Forbidden City caught fire and burned the Taihe Gate.

Guangxu was very proud, but he didn't want to delay the wedding. He asked the craftsmen to paste one with paper according to the original Taihe Gate system. On my wedding night, facing the Jade Dragon Queen, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I cried bitterly. The Jade Dragon Queen is also uncomfortable, and the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes. The two men looked after each other silently and cried all night.

3. Yinyang Road in the Forbidden City

The West Sixth Palace in the Forbidden City is the residence of the emperor's concubines, which is located on the left side of the central axis and corresponds to the East Sixth Palace. The West Sixth Palace mainly includes Palace of Gathered Elegance, Yikun Palace, Yongshou Palace, Xianfu Palace, Changchun Palace and Taiji Hall. However, the palace road between West Sixth Palace, Fengxian Palace, North Fifth Palace and Ningshou Palace is customarily called East Main Road. It is said that eunuchs and ladies-in-waiting in the palace can only be carried out of the palace from this road after their death, so a lot of paranormal happened here, so this road is also called Yin and Yang Road.

So what is Yin-Yang Road? To put it simply, when the moon is in the sky at night, there will be two interfaces of yin and yang on the high-intensity and long-line ground (in fact, part of it is moonlight, and part of it is blocked by the wall, forming a wall shadow). According to legend, the people in the palace walk in the positive and the monsters walk in the negative.

4. Zhen Fei Jing in the Forbidden City

In the 13th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1887), Emperor Guangxu reluctantly "elected" Yulong, Jinfei and Zhenfei under the deterrence of Empress Dowager Cixi. Since then, he has alienated from the niece of Empress Dowager Cixi, Yulong, but gradually fell in love with the kind, smart and clever Zhen Fei. Zhen Fei was loved by Emperor Guangxu because of her sympathy and support for his political reform, but she was also extremely hated by the Western Empress Dowager.

In the 24th year of Guangxu (1898), Empress Dowager Cixi conspired to fail the Reform Movement of 1898 and once again monopolized the power. Since then, Empress Dowager Cixi, because she didn't like Princess Zhen, kept her in the small courtyard behind the Qi Jing Pavilion. Zhen Fei was kept in a small courtyard in the southeast corner garden of the palace, completely cut off from the outside world, eating and drinking Lazar were under the supervision of eunuchs, and Zhen Fei became thinner and thinner. Her sister Jin Fei sometimes secretly sends some clothes or a few words, which really makes her feel a little warm.

1900, Eight-Nation Alliance went to Beijing, and Empress Dowager Cixi fled to xi 'an with Emperor Guangxu, who was also under house arrest alone. Before leaving, she did not forget to kill Zhen Fei. She ordered the second manager to release Zhen Fei from the yard behind the Qi Jing Pavilion, and ordered Zhen Fei to commit suicide by throwing himself into the well on the grounds that "Zhen Fei is young and foreigners enter the city, free from insults".

5. Xuanyuan mirror in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City

There is a two-meter-high square platform on the front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. On the platform is the golden throne where the emperor sits, with six tall Panlong golden pillars on both sides. A beautiful and vivid dragon is carved directly above the golden throne, and a big copper ball hangs upside down from the dragon mouth-this is the legendary Xuanyuan mirror. According to legend, it was cast by the Yellow Emperor in ancient times, representing the legitimacy of the throne.

Miraculously, it is said that when a fake emperor sits on the golden throne, the Xuanyuan mirror will automatically start the mechanism, and hundreds of pounds of copper balls will fall, smashing the fake emperor into paste! So no one dared to sit on the throne of the emperor, fearing that Xuanyuan mirror would expose himself as an impostor, so he started the organ.
