China has a long history, and there are many cities in the 5,000-year history as the capital of various dynastic capitals, the most difficult of which is the Kaifeng in China. /p

Kaifeng, the ancient name of the old hill, beam, Chen Liu, Wuzhou, Tokyo, Erjing, Liang, etc., Kaifeng has so far more than 4,000 years of urban history and construction history, followed by the summer dynasties, the Warring States during the Wei country, the five generations of the post-beam, after the Jin, after Han, the last week, the Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, etc.

However, compared with other ancient capitals, the fate of Kaifeng is tortuous, as Xi'an, which is more ancient than Kaifeng, Nanjing, with its very privileged geographical location, and now the capital of Daming, Beijing, these cities have not been opened to the death.Xi'an in history is also after the fall of Li Zicheng after the massacre, Nanjing in the anti-Japanese war period by the Japanese massacre, Beijing was not captured at all, the foreign enemy came is the Kaesong surrender, but the opening of the history of the slaughtered city several times, more famous is the Jin Dynasty occupation of the open city, the end of tomorrow Li Zicheng flooded the open city, anti-Japanese war Japanese massacre. /p

Among them, it is good for the foreign people to come to Kaifeng, but they kill some rebel forces, and only the Han people themselves engage in those cruel means of killing all the city. /p

In the late Ming period of war, after the fall of Luoyang in Chongchen 14 years in February, Li Zicheng was ready to then capture the Henan Province capital to open, but this battle was fought for more than a year, and Li Zicheng even lost an eye under the Kaifeng City and did not win the eight ancient capital /p dynasties.

Li Zicheng from Chongchen 14 years in February began to open the seal, until Chongchen 15 May, three times the attack can not break the city wall.Unable to do so, Li Zicheng had to order people to dig up the embankment upstream of the Yellow River, intending to soak the wall with water.But this group of peasant troops are grass-roots teams, do not know the astrogeography, May is the Yellow River dry water period, the water is not enough to soak the wall, but on the city outside the siege of the city's peasant army has a small impact. /p

The time came on September 15, when the upper reaches of the Yellow River rained heavily that night, the water level of the Yellow River soared, and the city of Kaifeng became a country.The walls were soaked and there was no food in the city, and the solid open wall was finally broken by the peasant army.Li Zicheng, who lost an eye under Kaifeng City, gave orders at that time, “When the city is broken, there is no one left.”The population of more than half a million at the most prosperous time of the whole Kaifeng City, and more than 300,000 people left after the end of the war, these people were all killed by Li Zicheng, and after the fact, only thousands of monks and Taoists remained in the city. /p

Now is the 11th year of Shenwu, 20 years have passed since the opening of the massacre, after these years and the end of the war, Kaifeng finally gathered some popularity, and now there are less than 100,000 people in the whole city, most of them are still the northern provinces in the south of the /p people.

After Zhu Yuan crossed the Yellow River, he entered the Fengqiu Gate from the Fengqiu Gate accompanied by Kaifeng Province Xue Tian.Before coming to Kaifeng City, Zhu Yuan can no longer see the original city, nearly 20 years of flooding, a large amount of silt in the Yellow River has been buried in the underground, only some of the city gates and the city's tall buildings can make people realize that this was once the city. /p

Xue Tian pointed to the craftsman of construction not far away and said: "Mrs. Qin Cha, the previous opening was completely buried under five or six meters thick mud and sand, and it was too time-consuming and labor-intensive to clean up with manpower, so the governor asked His Majesty the Emperor to decide to rebuild the Kaifeng House on the original Kaifeng site!" /p

The craftsmen of the gate saw the scust on behalf of the emperor coming to the door and quickly stopped the work in their hands and kowtoow.Zhu Yuan did not want to say anything, nodded and took Xue Tian into the city. /p

Now the opening of the city after the renovation of these five or six years has been initially some appearance, the governor of the North City, the administrative staff of the gate has been rebuilt, some ordinary residential buildings are being built, the re-renovation of the road on both sides are newly opened shops, from Jiangnan, Guangdong merchants are selling some strange items. /p

The post station in Kaifeng City is located in the North City, not far from the governor's gate, according to the plan Zhu Yuan to live in the station.Zhu Yuan came to the door of the station to look at, and said to Xue Tian next to him: "Xe Zhifu, where is Zhou Wangfue?" /p

Xue Tian, who did not know what Zhu Yuan meant, had to say truthfully: "The king's palace is not far away!" /p

Zhu Yuan nodded and said, “Well, the king will see first!” /p

Kaifeng House was Zhou Wang's fiery land in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, and the first generation of Zhou Wang was Zhu Yuanzhang's fifth son and Zhu Yi, the only brother of Zhu Pei.Zhu Yuanzhang was not thin with his son, sealed it in Zhu Xuan as an adult, and built a large royal palace for his son on the foundation of the original Song Dynasty palace. /p

This Zhu Jun is a unlucky child, Zhu Yuanzhang after the death of Zhu Yunzheng, the first thing is naturally cut, Zhou Wang this force is not strong, still under the eyelid, and still Zhu Di's mother and brother's prince naturally become the first to clean up the object, Zhu Yunzing soon found a reason to waste his uncle. /p

After Zhu Dijing's success, Zhu Jun thought he was running when he was running, but he thought that someone had accused him of rebellion.In Yongle 19 February was summoned to Beijing, Zhu Di told him about this matter, Zhu Wu "thanks the death of the crime", but Zhu Jun is Zhu Di's own brother, Zhu Di did not take a hard hand to clean him up, but not to pursue.After Zhu returned to the closed country in fear, he took the initiative to return his Prince's three guards to the court. /p

However, the 13th Zhou Wang Zhujun and his ancestor Zhu Jun are not the same, and Zhu Junfeng is probably the most promising one of all the Ming Dynasty chambers.When Li Zicheng wassieged the city, Zhu Gongxuan was different from the miserly big fat king, and Zhu Jinxuan took out all the gold and silver in the royal palace and sent it to the soldiers in the city, saying that killing a thief to reward a treasure, and also ordered the king of the city to handle it as well, so Kaifeng could persist for a year and a half under the siege of Li Zicheng's million army. /p

After Zhu Jinfeng's death, several of his sons died at the hands of the peasant army, and two sons took refuge in the full Qing, were killed by a knife, only one grandson followed the exiles to Guangzhou, took refuge in Zhu Hongsan, and lived to /p now with good luck.

Zhu Jinfeng, the grandson of Zhu Junfeng, wrote in Beijing every day, asking the emperor to let him inherit the title of King Zhou and prepare to return to Kaifeng.But Zhu Hongsan did not want to raise these parasites at all, so he removed the seals from the only few chambers and let them work for themselves. /p

Zhu Yuan wants to see Zhou Wangfu's purpose is to live there, the station here is too small, simply can not live Zhu Yuan brought more than 700 people, so those escort soldiers will live outside, so Zhu Yuan how to let go, so Zhu Yuan want to go to Zhou Wangfu, if the conditions can live there. /p

Xue Tian took Zhu Yuan to Zhou Wangfu in Kaifeng City, and Zhu Yuan looked at Zhou Wangfu in this way.Zhou Wangfu covers a large area, and the prosperity of the year can also be seen from the debris.However, Li Zicheng's peasant army first robbed Zhou Wangfu, after the end of the fire is the clean, coupled with the continuous silting of the Yellow River for 20 years, the entire Zhou Wangfu can see the roof in addition to those majestic halls, all buried under the silt. /p

Zhu Yuan looked around the royal palace, it is impossible to live here, Zhu Yuan can not ask: "Xi Zhifu, where is your Kaifeng Province?"Take a look at the king!” /p

Xue Tian did not know what Zhu Yuan meant, did not rest after a long journey into the city, why look at the east and west, but Xue Tian can't do anything, can only take Zhu Yuan and then come to Kaifeng Province. /p

The former Kaifeng Province was built on the original site of Kaifeng Province in the Song Dynasty, and the rebuilt Kaifeng Province is also on the original site. /p

The specifications of the Ming Dynasty are similar, all from the south to the north of a central axis, in turn arranged in accordance with the wall, the gate, the door, the lobby, the Yin Gongmen, the second hall, the three halls, the inner house and other buildings. /p

Zhu Yuan looked at the main door just completed, hanging on the top of the open house of the plaque, into the second straight door of the government, also known as the door, the door of the instrument is wide three, into the deep two, single-tangle hard mountain gray tile top.This door is usually not open, there are side doors on both sides, the east side is called "doors", which people often enter and exit the door; the west side is called "ghost door", only after the death penalty prisoners are sentenced, only after the death penalty prisoners are sentenced, pull out of the west side door to perform the execution. /p

Further inside is the lobby, that is, the place where the daily office of the house is known.The lobby is wide five, into the depth of three, single-taves hardtop, there is a row shed in front, are built on the high platform, is the center of the entire Zhifu gate.The lobby is centrally located to set up the public case of the Zhifu, and the hall and the recruitment room are on both sides of the east and west.It is also known as the "Chong's Hall", which is where the governor reads edicts, receives officials at all levels, holds major ceremonies, and holds public hearings. /p

On both sides of the lobby were the "three shifts and six rooms", which were the places where they worked in the door.Three classes, namely soap, strong, fast three, the staff are all officers.The six rooms, that is, the six rooms of the house, the household, the court, the soldier, the criminal, and the six-room of the work, are the functional offices of the Fuhuan.Zhu Hongsan divided the central ministries and commissions into thirteen according to the functions, but the localities have not been changed, or according to the same as usual. /p

The hallhouse formed by the door, the lobby and the six rooms are the first entrance courtyard on the central axis and are called "outside".This is the place where the government exercises its power, and it is also the place where the functional organs of the gate work.After going around to the lobby, a narrow passage from east to west divides the house into two parts.In the middle of this passage, facing the back door of the lobby, there is a "grow door" connecting the front backyard, which means a door to greet guests respectfully. /p

After the Yin Gongmen is the second hall, the second hall is wide five, into the depth of the three, single-eguang hard mountain gray tiles, the scale is second only to the lobby.This is the pre-trial case of the Pre-Trial Office, as well as the retreat and resting place during the trial, so it is also called "thinking", "thought" and "supplement" are well thought out. /p

Behind the second hall is the third hall, which is the secret place of the ecclesiastical government, and it is here to meet some friends and do some bribery every day.The structure of the three buildings is obviously different from the lobby and the second hall.In the interior of the three halls, through the fan is divided into a bright room, reception room, living room and dressing room, the furnishings are more luxurious and elegant, is the place where the government receives close people and negotiates political affairs. /p
