What is the emperor's life like?

Countless people dream of becoming emperors, hoping to be the only emperor in the world, and do whatever they want, with 3,000 emperors. But what about the real emperor? Let's take a look at the life of the last dynasty in China, the Qing emperor.

Let's take a look at the situation in the morning. Maybe you think the emperor is rubbing a harem beauty and sleeping till dawn. However, in fact, the emperor has got up at five o'clock. According to the secret of the Forbidden City, "Ju Zhu", the emperor of the Qing Dynasty will get up and get dressed at about five in the morning. Robes will be selected according to different seasons, months, occasions and times. After the emperor is fully dressed, he will enter the Buddhist temple to worship Buddha and burn incense, and then do morning reading.

From 6: 00 to 7: 00 in the morning, the emperor had finished his morning reading and went to have breakfast. According to Manchu custom, the Qing emperors only ate two meals a day, a "breakfast" and a "dinner"-that is, lunch and lunch break at noon, from 1 1 to 2: 30 in the afternoon. The emperor often has another non-dinner from 5 pm to 7 pm, which is called "late". Three meals are eaten by one person.

Emperors of the Qing Dynasty usually began to attend the court at 9: 30 in the morning to handle official business, but Saint Kangxi usually began to attend the court early in the morning.

According to the Qing Hui Dian, the early emperors of the Qing Dynasty "received the imperial court at the Royal Hall of Supreme Harmony on the fifth day of every ten days (that is, the fifth, fifteenth and 25th days of the Gregorian calendar) every month", which was called the Chang Dynasty and did not discuss the affairs of the court. "If you break the capital and order it, you will have the instrument of imperial gate", that is, the so-called "imperial gate listens to politics".

Emperor Kangxi listened to government reports in the imperial city almost every day, and listened to official reports at 6 am in winter and spring and 5 am in summer and autumn, mainly at Ganqingmen in front of Gan Qing Palace. Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) made important decisions such as the war against Russia and the three wars, all of which were made by Imperial Gate. After the early dynasty, Emperor Kangxi also paid tribute to the Empress Dowager.

The emperors of the Qing dynasty listened to the work reports of officials and handled government affairs every day. The most common form was to convene officials to work, usually every day.

During the Yongzheng period, the Ministry of War was established, and the minister of military affairs told the emperor in the morning that either one person would solo the son of heaven or many people would play the son of heaven. The location is hall of mental cultivation West Warm Pavilion. If the scope of discussion is expanded, the DPRK meeting in hall of mental cultivation will get more publicity.

According to "History of Imperial Palace in Zhouchao", Emperor Qianlong read the famous brands of princes and ministers at breakfast every day to determine the officials to be summoned, and then summoned them in batches for one and a half hours. If the emperor lives in the Forbidden City, he will usually be summoned in the Nuange of Gan Qing Palace and hall of mental cultivation alone.

After receiving the memorial from the minister, the emperor will read and publish "? Approve the decree until noon (1 1). Kang Yong's three emperors all went to court early and ruled the country quickly; They are very diligent, and they don't have to write ghost letters to read the memorial. When they are busy, they will stay up late into the night.

After lunch, if there is no need to review the memorial, the emperor usually engages in some cultural and entertainment activities, including painting, poetry, watching plays, enjoying cultural relics and flowers, birds, fish and insects. By 9 o'clock in the evening, they had bathed in bed, so that they could wake up before dawn.
