The Apocalypse Big Bang was a bizarre explosion in the powder magazine of the Wang Gong factory of the Ministry of Industry in the southwest corner of Beijing. The time was 6 am (local time1May 30, 626), with a radius of about 750 meters and an area of 2.25 square kilometers, causing more than 20,000 casualties. Due to the corruption of the national government and the autocratic power of eunuchs at that time, many people thought that the explosion was a punishment from heaven for the emperor. Ming Xizong had to issue a "letter of accusation", saying that he would "add pain and repair the province" and allocate 12 thousand gold from the state treasury to help the victims.
2. Guangxu and Cixi died only one day apart.
In A.D. 1908 165438 10/4, Emperor Guangxu suddenly "died" in Zhongnanhai, Beijing, at the age of 38. 165438+1October 15, Empress Dowager Cixi is in the Forbidden City in Beijing. Alas, she died at the age of 73. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager died in tandem, less than 20 hours apart, which caused a sensation in Beijing and shook China. Especially the death of Emperor Guangxu, is very unusual. He was only 38 years old, in the prime of life, and died the day before Cixi's death. The death of Emperor Guangxu caused a lot of speculation and left many mysteries. The first type: Cixi knew that she was going to die in the West, and she didn't want Emperor Guangxu to return to power after his death and send someone to poison him. Mainly based on the memoirs of Qu Guiting, a famous doctor who met Guangxu in the late Qing Dynasty, he said: "Three days before Guangxu died, he kept rolling in bed and kept shouting' My stomach hurts badly'." His face is dark and his tongue is yellow and black, which is obviously a symptom of poisoning. According to this statement, Guangxu was poisoned, and the biggest suspect was Empress Dowager Cixi, because she was the most powerful and tightly controlled Emperor Guangxu at that time, and the best and most likely person to poison.
The second type: Yuan Shikai saw that Cixi was very ill. He was afraid that after Cixi's death, Guangxu would take real power and retaliate against his betrayal of the emperor in the Reform Movement of 1898, so he bribed the court eunuch and killed Emperor Guangxu with poison. The most authoritative basis for this statement is Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Puyi said: "I personally heard an old eunuch who waited on Emperor Guangxu say,' The day before Emperor Guangxu died, it went bad with only one dose of medicine. Later, I learned that this medicine was sent by Yuan Shikai. " "
Third, eunuch Li learned that Yuan Shikai and he would be killed after the death of the Western Empress Dowager, and conspired with Cixi to put poison in the food of Emperor Guangxu, which led to the death of Emperor Guangxu.
Fourthly, in recent years, according to the medical records of Emperor Guangxu before his death, combined with the historical background at that time and modern Chinese medicine theory, it is inferred that Emperor Guangxu died of severe pulmonary tuberculosis and other complications.
Fifth, Emperor Guangxu had severe kidney deficiency. In addition, Emperor Guangxu was weak from childhood. He has been suppressed by Cixi since he was a few years old and has been in a state of tension for a long time. Later, when he became an emperor, he experienced a series of setbacks and blows, and his condition gradually deteriorated, causing a series of complications such as respiratory tract and digestive tract, and finally died. This statement is mainly based on the medical records of Guangxu before his death and a memory of Guangxu himself before his death.
3. Buddha Pavilion on Wanshou Mountain
Do you know why a Buddhist pavilion should be built on Wanshou Mountain? It is said that the emperor wants to build a big garden in Haidian, a scenic spot. The earliest emperor was Qianlong. People say that this Wanshou Mountain is an ancient tomb, the tomb of a princess in the Ming Dynasty, and it cannot be moved. It is said that this princess was not a good master in those days, and her tomb could not be moved! When Qianlong heard this, he said what he was afraid of. He took his relatives to the scene to see that the big stone gate of the tomb had been dug up, but there were eight big characters engraved on the door: If you don't move me, I won't move you! I was scared when I did it. Hurriedly ordered people to cover all the soil back and build a ghost in damiao town on Wanshou Mountain! This is Foge Pavilion!
4. Jinsong haunted house
About 1984, a great event happened in Beijing. At that time, people, especially those living near Jinsong, were very worried. Everyone is saying that the building where Li Lao lives is haunted. Whenever it is dark, as soon as you enter the door of that building, you can hear sad cries and linger in your ears. You can also see ghost lights flashing around, and the lights in the corridor are flickering, which is scary enough.
In the dead of night, everyone entered the dream, and the door was very lively. The voices of chatting, moving things, fighting and scolding children were very clear, but as soon as people opened the door, the voice stopped, leaving only the neighbors holding probes to look at each other.
5. Long Fu Temple Fire
It is said that the fire many years ago set the Long Fu Building on fire. People who live in Dongsi, not only those who live in Dongsi, know how hot the Long Fu Building and the alley in front of it were at that time! But after the fire, it's over, right? It's completely over. This is because feng shui is broken. Long Fu Tower, which looks like an arch, is called Long Fu Temple. It was built in the back only two years ago.
When that thing was built, two stone turtles were dug out of the ground. The excavated stone turtle is engraved with words, which was buried by Liu Bowen. After being dug up, the stone turtle was transported away. Since then, Dongsi has been completely abolished, and Long Fu Building has never been restored. There is something even more sinister, saying that those two stone turtles are quite big, and each one should be like a car. It's really big. Last year, however, another Wahaha opened next to Long Fu Building, which was very popular, hangzhou dishes. I don't know why, but it's really very hot.
6. After casting the clock
Now the clock in the bell tower doesn't ring. When it does this, there is always a faint "evil, evil, evil" voice in the end. It's time for the old man to say: Empress Zhuzhong is looking for shoes again! It is said that there is an oldest and most respected master of clock casting at home, with a little daughter. On this day, the youngest daughter came to the bell factory to deliver food to her father and learned about everyone's situation. I didn't expect to rush into the bell furnace. Everyone saw that it was not good and went up to stop it, but it was too late. Only dad caught an embroidered shoe. But if you look at the bell furnace, the copper water becomes another color. Everyone worked hard and made a big clock overnight.
As for later, the bell casting factory was demolished and a bell casting temple was built on the original site. Now it seems that the iron clock that is not used behind the Drum Tower has also been dismantled.
7. Caishikou execution ground
Caishikou was the execution ground of the Qing Dynasty. There is such a tailor's shop, which lives in the food market. Business is booming because of good craftsmanship. After a long time, it is well known. Just say that one year, a disorderly party was hacked to death outside the food market in Xiaerli. That night, the owner of the tailor's shop was asleep, and suddenly he found someone walking in the room. He thinks there may be a thief. But on second thought, let the thief make trouble. Anyway, I have nothing of value in this room. Squinting his eyes, the thief groped for a while, but after going out, he was still very sensible to close the child. The next day, the shopkeeper got up to see if he had lost anything. As soon as he tidied up, he found his sewing basket missing. Just then, someone outside shouted: manned, come out and have a look. The shopkeeper took all the people out to see that the man who was beheaded yesterday had his head and body together. And there is a string of thin line marks on the neck, and a tailor's basket is thrown next to it!
There is a crane hall diagonally opposite the food market, which is famous for its knife wound medicine. After each execution, there are always "people" knocking at the door at night to buy knife medicine. Later, Heniantang's knife wound to buy medicine became a swear word in old Beijing.
