The three halls of the Forbidden City are the real center of power of the empire, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Zhonghe, and the Hall of Baohe. Almost the major ceremonies of the empire were undertaken by the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

As the real little master of the imperial city, Emperor Tongzhi immediately jumped up from the ground excitedly and pulled Xiao Letian into circles when he heard that the guests wanted to visit.

"Then is the Tiren Pavilion. During the Kangxi period, poetry has been compared, but now it has become a place where the Office of the Interior has collected satin wood... This is the Hongyi Pavilion. The gold, silver, jade and other tableware managed by the Interior has been placed here. Ermao is a supervisor here..."

"Do you know, we usually don't open the doors of the Supreme Hall. I opened it once when I ascended the throne, and then once when the grand dynasty meeting was held at the end of each year. Sometimes the war was tense and there was no grand dynasty meeting here for a whole year... I don't like it, it's very cold inside..."

"Look here, Zhonghe Palace is my favorite place. The palace is not very hot. When the charcoal basin is not too late, the house is very warm... I often learn etiquette here, and Zhou Daoying is in charge of me, which is so annoying."

"I've arrived at Baohe Palace. Do you know that Weng Tonghe and others like this place the most? You know why, haha, you can't guess it. This is the location of the palace examination. The last scientific examination is here. Can those top scorers not love this place?"

"The Ganqing Gate is in the distance, the Military Affairs Office is in the Longzong Gate on the left, and the Fengxian Hall is behind the Jingyun Gate on the right... The place where I usually study the government affairs is not far from the Military Affairs Office, right there... the Winter Warm Pavilion of Yangxin Hall."

This is the first time that the little emperor is a little incoherent when he is a tour guide, but he is extremely excited. Humans are born with the desire to show off, let alone the royal palace of the Forbidden City. If Xiao Letian was the owner here, he would probably be more flaunting than him.

The ten-year-old child was not too alert. In his eyes, Xiao Letian gave him some unique food and gave him a shocking martial arts show, so he could get along like a friend.

Although Xiao Letian's new army defeated his imperial guards, the little emperor was only ten years old after all, and he did not see the cruel battlefield with his own eyes. He still didn't understand what separation is like in life and death. He was not very hostile to Xiao Letian.

Xiao Letian listened patiently, and the little emperor said excitedly. Behind them were a vigilant minister. Prince Chun had already entered the palace, and Qingliu led by Weng Tonghe also entered the palace. Everyone was indignant when they saw this incredible scene.

How could the emperor be so close to his enemies, and all our efforts have been gone?

However, the new army had taken over the security around the Hall of Supreme Harmony at this time. No one dared to protest under the threat of foreign guns, and could only follow from a distance, for fear that the little emperor would be lost.

"Your Majesty is such a good master. If you are tired, let's sit here and rest for a while." On the steps north of Baohe Hall, you can overlook the scenery of the back three halls. After passing the Ganqing Gate, you will be the harem. Xiao Letian doesn't want to give someone a handle, so he still won't go to the place where the female family lives.

The two sat on the cold steps, looking at the dense red walls and yellow tiles in the harem. The Jingshan and the white tower in the distance were vaguely visible. This scenery cannot be appreciated by ordinary people, especially in this era.

"You don't like this place." Emperor Tongzhi was very sensitive. He found that Xiao Letian did not have the awe of seeing the palace for the first time. You should know that many foreigners would be shocked if they entered the palace for the first time.

"No, the foreign minister likes this place very much. After all, it is the imperial capital of two dynasties. Wealth and luxury are not something I can imagine... It's just that the foreign minister has seen a more spectacular scenery than this, so he is a little calmer."

"More spectacular." The little emperor couldn't believe his ears.

Xiao Letian became interested. He put one leg on the steps and said with a smile, "It's spectacular, it's really spectacular. I remember that I encountered a super hurricane when I went out to sea for the first time. The foreign ship was pushed into the air ten-story high by the storm, and then pressed into the deep sea vortex. Even the whale swallowing the boat dared not show its head, and could only hide it in the deep sea bottom..."

"The Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea have nothing to see, the sea water is not clear at all. When the fleet enters the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea, you can see the sea as charming as sapphires, the sunshine, the sea breeze, the endless fresh seafood in the trawl, and the dolphins jump and sing on both sides of your ship's side..."

"When we arrived in Nanyang, there were countless expatriates and indigenous monkeys in South Asia. There was no winter there. The rice was ripe three times a year, and there was no drought at all. I didn't have to worry about throwing the seedlings in. Then I could harvest food..."

"Pineapple, banana, lychees, mangosteen... like the woods, sugarcane fields, sugar-pressing workshops one after another, it is simply a sweet land, a fruit kingdom."

Like a strange uncle who was about to abduct a child, Xiao Letian described the beauty of the vast world outside to the ten-year-old Tongzhi. He had a purpose, and his purpose was very clear. He wanted to abduct the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

"After the ship passed Malacca, it entered the Indian Ocean... The emperor said rightly, it was the Kingdom of Heaven where Tang Monk had been to. There was an island called the Lion Kingdom, also called Sri Lanka. Oh my God, that was one of the countries with the highest gem production in the world, rubies, sapphires, jade, and agate everywhere..."

"Sea boats sail along the Indian continent, you can see the vastness of the Ganges Plain, you can even hear the singing and dancing of Indians in the wind... People who believe in Hindu pushed the bodies of their dead relatives into the Ganges River and drifted into the sea, and the ships of foreign ministers have bumped into many..."

"All the way west, we arrived at the Arabian Peninsula. We used to call it Tianfang, and people who believe in Islam settled there... The rolling yellow sand is endless, the Arab warriors with headscarves in the desert have extremely sharp scimitars, and there are countless ruins of ancient cities in the desert. The history there is like ours, and it can be traced back thousands of years ago."

Emperor Tongzhi was already stunned. He was raised by the wife of the Deep Palace and never thought that the world would be so colorful. Giant whales, dolphins, storms that ruined the world, food from all over the world, gem islands, ancient cities in the desert, pyramids and sphinxes, and the Nile civilization is also so attractive.

When Xiao Letian's topic turned to Europe, Emperor Tongzhi was even more shocked, and a steampunk world emerged in his mind.

"Your Majesty, do you know that in the Mediterranean, there are more and more steamships that spew black smoke. Boilers drive paddle wheels to allow ships to sail against the wind. Huge cranes ten-story high on the harbors of various countries can lift 10,000 kilograms of weight into the air..."

"In the field, the train whistle is lit, and the white smoke rolls forward. You can feel it in a day or two... and in those super-large factories, each of the steel gears is more than one person tall."

"Europa is not a wild place. They also have their own civilization. The exquisite garden and palace are beautiful. In pastoral pastoral songs, the passionate girls are hooking up with guests from afar. Many new soldiers who do not deceive His Majesty's foreign ministers have been romantically roaming in Europa."

Temptation, this is a pure temptation. Emperor Tongzhi is as curious as in real history, and has an unusual interest in women.

Unofficial history says that Emperor Tongzhi often sneaked out of the palace, ran to the eight major Hutongs, and finally died of flowers and willows. This unofficial legend is not necessarily accurate, but Emperor Tongzhi loves to leave the palace in a very small way, which is indeed a real historical event.

This is an emperor with a strong curiosity. He is full of curiosity about all unknowns. This kind of curiosity can become a pioneering and enterprising desire with a little guidance.

Emperor Tongzhi was very smart, curious and adventurous. He was originally a hero who was given to his ancestors in the Qing Dynasty and could have led the Qing Empire to a different path of progress.

Unfortunately, it was destroyed by the woman's hands. A group of women, eunuchs, and a group of old-fashioned people who were in a state of turmoil, killed a wise king's seedling.

What Xiao Letian had to do today was to pry open His Majesty Tongzhi's new door and stuff a handful of seeds inside, so that he could know what the outside world was like.

As long as Emperor Tongzhi was poisoned, Xiao Letian could not believe that he would be the Forbidden City and make himself the imperial teacher of Tongzhi. As long as Emperor Tongzhi stayed with him for three years and instilled in Western learning for three years, Xiao Letian would not be able to have a wise monarch without religious belief.

"Your dear... what you said is true. Is the outside world really that wonderful?" Emperor Tongzhi gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and asked, "Tell me, how do foreign emperors and princes live like me?"

There is a door, Xiao Letian immediately became alert, "Your Majesty, I can guarantee it with my life. Everything I said is real. The world is so big that you can't imagine. The Qing Dynasty is big, but the world is even bigger."

"I really talked to the Crown Prince of the European Court of the Prussian Crown Prince. The Crown Prince of Europe is different from the Qing Dynasty. They attach great importance to civil and military education, which means that the emperor must lead the troops themselves. Yes, Your Majesty does not need to see me like this. The Crown Prince of Europe has a direct army, and he personally rides horses to lead the troops to fight..."

"This time during the Prussian-Austrian War, the one who fought side by side was His Royal Highness Karl, the prince of the Prussian king. His direct troops were no less than 200,000... Not only that, the young crown prince also had to study in Europe. They traveled to various countries, learned a lot of languages, met countless scholars, and continued to inspect the country's colonies."

"There are many colonies that are their own fiefs. Prince Carl received British education since childhood. Now Prince Carl's son is also educated in Britain. They have manors in various countries, and they have connections with nobles in various countries..."

"Maybe they walk in the hills of Northern Ireland in the spring, go to Norway's forests to escape the summer heat, go to Vienna, the music capital to enjoy opera in the autumn, and go to the Alps to ski in the winter..."

"Is skiing a dog pulling a sled?" Emperor Tongzhi's eyes lit up.

"No, I'm a person carrying a sled on his back and climbing to the top of a mountain that is thousands of meters high, and then rushing down at lightning. The stimulation is simply unimaginable... Your Majesty, you can feel the bitter cold wind blowing, the snow powder hits the face and the biting coldness, and a huge rock suddenly appears in front of you. What should I do?"

The little emperor exclaimed suddenly, "What should I do?"

"What else can you do? Twist your body to move in the direction of the direction. When you leapt past the huge rock, the blood in your body ignited. It was an extremely exciting and refreshing feeling."

"That's a game for the brave. Your Majesty, don't you want to try it?" Xiao Letian was a devil who was bewitching at that moment.
