A pillar is worth 2.7 billion yuan, which is worthy of being a mansion in small Shenyang. How luxurious is Gongwangfu?

As the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Beijing has a very profound cultural connotation. There are still many ancient buildings there, the most famous of which is the Forbidden City. In fact, apart from the Forbidden City, there is also a little-known ancient building in Beijing, namely Gongwangfu. Although it is only a palace, it is as valuable as the Forbidden City and is a national key cultural relics protection unit. Gongwangfu is very imposing. It is said that a pillar alone is worth 2.7 billion!

Gongwangfu, located in the hutong on the west bank of Shichahai, has always been the residence of dignitaries in the Qing Dynasty. So who is the owner of Gongwangfu? Many people will definitely say: Since it is called "Gong Wang Fu", the owner is of course Gong Wang! In fact, the first owner of Gongwangfu was Xiao Shenyang, the first corrupt official in Qing Dynasty. After 40 years' work, Little Shenyang found that the place where Prince Gong is located today is surrounded by water and far away from the Western Hills. It's a treasure trove! So Xiao Shenyang paid a high price for this land and built a private mansion-"River Bank" for himself.

At this time, small Shenyang is so beautiful that Gan Long married his daughter to the son of small Shenyang. But after Jiaqing succeeded to the throne, he was very dissatisfied with Xiao Shenyang. He not only deprived Xiao Shenyang of all his posts, but also copied his home! It is said that the wealth discovered by Emperor Jiaqing in his home in Shenyang is worth 800 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to the fiscal revenue of the Qing government 15 years. No wonder "Little Shenyang fell, Jiaqing was full". From another point of view, Shenyang, which has always been short of money, must have spent a lot of money to build this mansion.

After Shenyang was robbed of its property, Emperor Jiaqing gave the house to his younger brother, Prince Yongqing. This building really has a magic power. Although Lin Yong has nothing to do with it, his grandson, Prince Yi Kuang of the Qing Dynasty, has also become a famous corrupt official in the modern history of China! And the third owner of this mansion, Prince Gong, is not an idle generation. He almost participated in most political activities in the late Qing Dynasty. Without him, Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't even listen to politics. After Prince Gong got this mansion, he couldn't put it down, so he changed his name to "Prince Gong's Palace".

Palace Wang Fu, as the residence of several generations of dignitaries in Qing Dynasty, has extremely high historical and cultural value. There used to be a saying that "Grandfather Wang Fu is half the history of the Qing Dynasty". After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Gong's grandson sold Prince Gong's palace to foreigners for 400,000 yuan. Later, Fu Jen Catholic University redeemed it with 108 gold bars and regarded it as a girls' school. After the founding of New China, it was also regarded as the dormitory of the Ministry of Public Security.

Gongwangfu is the most complete architectural complex in China, largely because all the most precious materials were used in the construction of Little Shenyang. The doors of the room are all made of golden nanmu, and the door flowers are carved with rosewood. No wonder it took 108 to redeem the gold bars! Now Gongwangfu is more valuable, not to mention the land price in Beijing. The price of the house alone is beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
