Chapter 2 Sojourn in the Palace

This is another parallel world. It is not the real world, but it is no different from the real world..com

In 1820 AD, the dominant position of Western countries in the world was basically determined. As early as the 17th century, the bourgeois revolution in Britain had been completed, and the "Glorious Revolution" in 1688 made the capitalist constitutional monarchy completely established in Britain. In 1687, Newton published "Mathematical Principles of Natural Science", the torch of the scientific revolution was ignited in the West, and it illuminated the Western countries gradually leading the world. In 1769, James Watt raised the efficiency of the steam engine to an appropriate level, and this invention provided continuous impetus for the Western industrial revolution. By 1820, Northwest Europe was full of many phenomena of capitalism, mechanical inventions, corporate organizations, and speculation on the stocks of financial consortiums and trading companies, etc. At this time, the Western powers had completed or were about to complete the bourgeois revolution, including the United States of America composed of a group of young cowboys far away in North America.

On the other side of the world, there is a completely different Eastern world.

In July 1820, a person in the Far East who held the power to kill hundreds of millions of people, Emperor Jiaqing, Aisin Gioro and Yongyan, collapsed.

In the same year, the emperor's second son, Prince Zhi, was located in the Taihe Hall, and issued an edict to the whole world, with the next year as the first year of Daoguang.

In September of this year, Zhang Geer, the grandson of Yamato and Zhuomu, led hundreds of people to attack Bianka and provoke rebellion with the support of the British.

In August of the first year of Daoguang in 1821, the British asked to trade in Xinjiang to buy horses, but they did not agree.

In 1822, the second year of Daoguang, the court ordered Guangdong to prohibit foreign ships from stealing silver and investigate opium.

In 1823, the court ruled that opium tobacco was in violation of supervision, including banning the planting of poppy and banning tobacco restaurants. In the same year, due to the severe flood and drought in Zhili, the poor were allowed to go out to make a living.

In August of the same year, Emperor Daoguang went to Chengde Summer Resort to escape the summer heat, and our story began here.

Chengde Summer Resort was the palace of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. It was built from the 42nd year of Kangxi to the final completion of the 55th year of Qianlong. It took 87 years to build more than 120 buildings, terraces, halls, pavilions, stalls, pavilions, temples, towers, corridors, and bridges. There are scenery everywhere, landscapes, landscapes and rivers are reflected, and the end is a Jiangnan outside the pass.

When Liu Ji woke up, a familiar and unfamiliar environment made him a little confused. He was surrounded by bedspreads embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns on his head. This comfortable and ancient bed was surrounded by some people. He looked around the bed, and some strange men wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms and several strange women wearing ancient costume cheongsams on TV surrounded him. Seeing him awake, the men in official uniforms breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from their foreheads with their sleeves.

Liu Chun calmed down and sorted out his own thoughts. What was going on? But what surprised him even more was that the names of these people naturally appeared in his mind. The noble lady wearing the flag that made him feel funny, Liu Ji knew that she was the queen Tong Jia. The man who didn't have beard was the eunuch Cao Jinxi, the eunuch who was in charge of the inner court, and the remaining men with beards were all imperial physicians in the palace.

Liu Ji closed his eyes again and lay in the comfortable brocade quilt to sort out his thoughts. By the way, when he crossed Queer Mountain on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, the missile battalion was at an altitude of 4,916 meters. Liu Ji twitched his cheeks in pain, and he seemed to feel the sudden thick cloud and the lightning that hit his car again. Yes, it must be! It was that damn lightning that allowed me to enter this person's body, but where did this person's mind go?

Liu Ji entered deep meditation and carefully felt the real owner of this body. I don’t know how long it took, but he could not feel it. It seemed that the owner of this body burned the "processor" (thinking ability), leaving a large-capacity "hard drive" (memory) hanging up. From that "hard drive", Liu Ji confirmed his thoughts. Min Ning also encountered a lightning bolt that made people unable to open his eyes. After that, there was only a blank feeling in the bright world, everything was interrupted. The remaining memory was just that unforgettable fear, which reminded Liu Ji of the moment when he was struck by lightning. The difference was that Liu Ji was not as intimidated as Min Ning.

I don’t know how long it took, but the imperial physicians had already retreated.

An unfamiliar language sounded gently in Liu Ji's ears, arousing him to open his eyes. In front of him was a dignified lady Tong Jia, and a scent of intoxicating osmanthus came from Tong Jia's plump body. This unfamiliar language made Liu Ji think for a while, and Minning's memory made him understand for a long time. She said a greeting.

Liu Ji's slow reaction made Tong Jia think that his mind had not yet been demobilized. She was worried that she would take a bowl of amber-like tremite soup from the palace maid. Cao Jinxi quickly stepped forward and helped Liu Ji up. Tong Jia waited for Liu Ji to wait for Liu Ji to rest, and then scooped a spoonful of crystal soup from the bowl and fed it to Liu Ji's mouth.

Liu Ji was a little disliked to be held by a eunuch, so he pulled a goose-vulture pillow and put it on his back and leaned it comfortably. As soon as he lay down, Tong Jiashi opened her rosy lips slightly, blew into the spoon, and gently stared at Liu Ji's mouth and fed it. Liu Ji looked at the porcelain handed over with pleasure, and put the jade-like white porcelain spoon in his mouth. The sweet and lubricating tremella soup in the spoon slid into his throat. Later he realized that he was holding a set of enamel porcelain.

Tong Jia looked at Liu Ji's eating look in surprise. She covered her rosy lips and laughed "puffed". Suddenly she seemed to realize something, and quickly lowered her head, as if she had done something wrong, buried it without saying a word.
