The British and French coalition forces burned the Old Summer Palace, which destroyed the royal garden in great damage, but it has not yet reached the point where it is unusable. The real decline of the Old Summer Palace is actually a long process.

There are notes and records of people from the Republic of China that after the establishment of the Old Summer Palace, many dilapidated houses remained, and the people around them were still taking soil and pulling bricks from here to build houses.

The main halls burned by the British and French coalition forces. Many side halls, including the veranda houses where eunuchs and palace maids lived, were preserved. Especially in the Qing Dynasty, there were soldiers here, and thieves and bandits were afraid to fight here.

Why was Yihuan imprisoned here? It shows that there were still many places suitable for living rather than completely deserted.

Prince Dun Yixun chose to garrison troops here, which is really an excellent treasure land. The soldiers just need not set up camps and live in these dilapidated rooms. No matter how dilapidated it is, it is much better than a tent.

Moreover, the terrain here is complex and very good at defending. Yi Qiong's elite soldiers are chosen by many people. In this civil war, he was careful not to let his forces perform the most dangerous tasks.

He was reluctant to let his direct descendants die, and fighting such a defensive battle was of course the best.

Of course, choosing this place as his capital base is also his own knot! I remember that when he was a teenager, he was driven out of the Old Summer Palace by Ama and adopted him in Prince Dun’s mansion!

Seeing his brothers still traveling and studying here, but under the leadership of the eunuch, he took a few toys and close-fitting clothes and sat in a sedan chair and left here, and went to the strange Prince Dun's mansion!

What kind of memory is this? The mood at that time is indescribable at all!

The sky was slightly dark, and there was a sound of horse hooves southeast of the Old Summer Palace. About 300 cavalrymen came here surrounded by Emperor Guangxu Yi.

Two miles away from the Great Palace Gate, these cavalry jumped off the horse and walked out of the opposite side of Li Tuo and Taoist Duobao!

"I wish you a blessing to Prince Gong!" The two of them knelt down and raised their heads with a very humble attitude.

Yi stared at Li Tuo for a long time and finally sighed, "Oh... my responsibility! It's my responsibility! I didn't see that you are so talented!"

"When I was in the Military Affairs Office, I saw you every day... I actually buried you. I want to apologize to you!"

When Li Tuo heard this, he lowered his head. "The prince is so arrogant and dare not take it as a subordinate... I happened to take some attention to Fenglei Opportunity. I don't have any big abilities and it's not worthy of the prince's praise!"

Yi turned over and got off the horse and said carelessly, "What kind of errand do you want to be here? The Ministry of Revenue or the Ministry of Personnel? I think these two ministries are the most suitable for you... If you speak, as long as you want, I will give it to you!"

"Of course the prince is big, but what can the small one have to do? Aren't these nobles from the Qing Dynasty slap? The fifth prince lifted the small one with the big fingernails!"

"I really don't dare to compete with the important officials in the court... I'm just a minor official, just a minor official!"

Yi listened to him talking about the prince, knowing that this person was not easy to recruit, and sneered, "The person who keeps saying that he is small may not be small!"

"You can say that you are older every day, and you can't go there even if you are older! Tell me, what are the secrets of Brother Wu?"

Li Tuo stood up with a smile, "Our prince said, we met in the inner study of the palace behind Qinzheng and Qinxian. Both sides brought ten people... the rest retreated two miles away..."

"Your men and women stay on the screen wall of the Great Palace Gate. Our men retreated to the back of Wutong Academy. In these two or two radius areas, there are only ten people on both sides... OK?"

Zaitu said, "How do I know if you have an ambush?"

"You can bring ten guards in advance to check? Check it out. If you check it safe, please invite Prince Gong to enter the palace. Is that good?"

Yi nodded, Zaitu led ten guard masters and trotted into the palace gate!

Changchun Immortal Hall, the Qingyan of Jiuzhou, the natural pictures, the depths of the cave... I searched all the places within two miles of radius, but there was indeed no ambush.

After hearing the security news, Yi scolded Zaitu and said, "Do you still believe in your fifth uncle? You are so petty..." After that, Yi walked towards Qinzheng and Qinxian.

The Qinzheng and Qinxian Hall in the Old Summer Palace is not just one or two palaces. It is a courtyard group. Less than one-third of the foreign soldiers burned, and many areas are protected.

The inner study room is one of them, and many of the furnishings here have not even changed much!

As soon as Yi entered the yard, he saw the fifth brother Yiqi sitting in the inner study room blankly on the Grand Master's chair, looking at the bonsai in the yard, just stunned because his eyes were empty.

Yi found that there were no one around Brother Wu, not to mention ten guards, and there were no guards outside the yard. He also retreated his subordinates and walked over alone.

"Fifth brother... don't be fine..."

Yi Qi was stunned as if he had just seen Yi, and suddenly looked up and was startled: "Ah! Lao Liu...you? Why are your hair so white?"

When brothers met, there were no military and national affairs, and there were no intrigues. Just such a simple sentence, both of the brothers' eyes turned red.

"Fifth brother... we are all old... we are all old... the cold wind in Xiling is blowing... can we not have white hair?"

"Sit... Lao Liu, sit... I'll pour you tea... By the way, I'll take a sip first, I'll take a sip first..." As he said that, the fifth master reached out to bring the cup to pour tea, which was to test Lao Liu for poison.

Yi looked at Brother Wu's hair turning gray, and there were spots on the back of his hands, and he was also suffering from aging. The soft part of his heart was touched and tears burst out from his eyes.

"I'll do it myself... I don't have to worry about me... I should pour tea as my younger brother!"

After saying that, he grabbed the teapot and poured two cups of tea, and then tilted his neck and drank the cup. Yi Qi looked at his sixth brother holding the tea cup in his hand as if he was drinking strong wine. He tilted his neck and tilted his neck and tilted his cup.

Both of them lit up the teacup, looked at the empty cup, and they all laughed, tears of laughter flowing out.

"Hahaha...Oh...Hahaha...When did we become like this? It became what is written in history books..."

"You must be careful when you have a cup of tea... You are born in the imperial family! What a nonsense..."

"Yes! The fifth brother is right. It's so nonsense to be born in the imperial family... Think about it when I was a child, the emperor was taking the exam to study. My brothers and others were all worried and unwilling to fall behind a little bit. They all had to be smart and compete for their father's favor!"

"It's just you... your nature is pure, you don't fight or rob, and you never show yourself..."

Yi Qi waved his hand and said, "I'm so stupid! I'm actually really stupid... Do you know what I was in a daze just now? Do you know why I met you here?"

"Because it was here back then... Emperor Ama summoned me... I knelt next to the bonsai outside..."

"The Emperor Ama issued an order to adopt me... and bomb me... and it's here... wuwu... the Emperor Ama!"

"You... are so cruel... why did you adopt me? Woo woo woo woo woo..."

A fifty-year-old man is crying like a child at this moment!
