history

After Emperor Kangxi died, his fourth son Yinzhen ascended to the throne as Emperor Yongzheng. After Emperor Yongzheng came to power, he was opposed by most of his brothers. Only his thirteen younger brother Yinxiang supported him. Yongzheng granted Yinxiang the title of Prince heshuoyi and built Yiqin palace for him on the east side of xindong'an shopping mall in Wangfujing. In 1730, Yin Xiang, Prince Yi, was seriously ill and dying. Emperor Yongzheng visited the palace in person, but he did not see the last one. Yongzheng

A grand funeral was held for Yinxiang, and Yiqin palace was converted into Xianliang temple as a memorial.

Yinxiang's son Hongxiao succeeded to the throne and became the second prince Yi. Yongzheng built another large-scale new palace for Hongxiao in Chaoyang mennei street. In 1850, Emperor Daoguang died, and his fourth son Yi Chen became emperor Xianfeng. Emperor Xianfeng made Yichen, a six-year-old nine younger brother, king of Fujun.

In 1861, when Emperor Xianfeng died, Empress Dowager Cixi defeated the eight ministers who had hindered her from taking power. She forced the sixth Prince Yi and sun Zaiyuan of Yinxiang descent, who was the first of the eight ministers, to hang himself and deprived him of his throne and palace.

In 1864, it was granted to Yi Chen, the king of Fu Prefecture, which was called Fu Wang Fu. Because Yi Chen was the ninth son of Emperor Daoguang, he was commonly known as Jiu Ye Fu.

characteristic

The stone lion in front of the gate is bigger than Tiananmen Gate

In 1864, Yi Chen, the king of Fu Prefecture, was over 20 years old. According to the system, he should move out of the palace and give it to the palace. So the imperial court allocated the recovered Prince Yi Zaiyuan to Yi Chen, that is, Prince Fu's residence in Chaoyang mennei street.

Although the appearance of Fuwang mansion is old, it still retains the grand regulations. The street gate with many unit signs was built in the period of the Republic of China, not the main gate of the palace. The real royal palace gate is behind the street gate. On the vermilion door leaf, there are seven and sixty-three studs, nine in length and seven in horizontal. The stone lion standing in front of the gate is more than two people tall, which is bigger than the stone lion in front of Tiananmen Gate.

From the main entrance of the palace, a danbihan bridge 1 meter above the courtyard floor leads directly to the main hall, yin'an hall. The courtyard of Wangfu crosses two Hutongs of Toutiao and ertiao in the East. The north wall reaches three hutongs in the East. There are also one courtyard in the East and one in the West. In those days, Wang Ye and his family lived in xikuayuan, while dongkuayuan was the place where the storehouse and servants lived.

In 1928, Prince Fu's mansion was sold to Yang Yuting, a senior official under Zhang zuolin. After Yang Yuting was killed by Zhang Xueliang, the mansion became the site of the College of Arts and science of Peking women's University. According to the map of Beiping city in 1947, Fuwang mansion was occupied by Beiping branch of Guomindang inspirational society at that time.

There is a basketball stand in the palace

Beer bottles and honeycomb briquettes are piled up. The small bungalows in King Fu's mansion are dilapidated. A large number of beer bottles and honeycomb briquettes are piled up on the edge of the courtyard. On the trees in the yard, some ropes were tied at will, and clothes, bed sheets and other articles were hung in the air. In the open space of the front yard, dozens of cars were parked in disorder. The inner courtyard has basketball stand, badminton court and other facilities.

There is no fire passage in Fuwang mansion, the pressure of fire water is insufficient, the number of fire hydrants does not meet the standard, and there are serious fire safety hazards.

Mei Ninghua, director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of cultural relics, said that the cultural relics department had made an assessment of the palace a few days ago, and that it would cost 700 million yuan to vacate and relocate only one item.

On June 25, 2001, as an ancient building of the Qing Dynasty, Fuwang mansion was approved by the State Council to be listed in the fifth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.

On November 9, 2010, a fire broke out in the greenhouse of the hospital late at night.

Fuwangfu is a national key cultural relic protection unit, but due to historical reasons, there are publishing houses, research institutes, book companies and other units in the hospital, and many bungalows are occupied by workers.

At about 11:00 p.m. on November 9, 2010, three greenhouses on the back of the xipeidian in the West courtyard of Fuwang mansion suddenly caught fire, and the greenhouses were less than one meter away from the xipeidian. Residents in the hospital said that the three greenhouses on fire, covering an area of about 20 square meters, were simple houses built by an electrician surnamed Yu. There were bicycles, bedding and other sundries in the greenhouses. A witness said that at the time of the incident, he saw a thick stream of smoke at the entrance of the alley. When he approached, he found that the simple house was on fire. "The thick smoke kept coming out, and he could see the flames.".

Later, neighbors surnamed Yu found that the shed was on fire. They tried to put out the fire by themselves with a water basin, but the fire spread quickly and "couldn't be controlled at all.".

Firemen brought water into the fire

When the fire was discovered, residents slapped their neighbors' doors one after another to let them out of the house. When the fire squadrons of Wangfujing, the Forbidden City and Jinbao Street arrived at the scene, more than 10 households were evacuated from the West courtyard of Fuwang mansion.

Firefighters found that the fire continued to spread outside, a wire on the top of the shed was affected by the fire, and the open fire continued to spread to the west side hall.

In the early morning of November 10, 2010, the reporter saw at the gate of fuwangfu compound that several firefighters were opening the nearby fire hydrant, connecting the fire hose, and carrying the hose into the fire to put out the residual fire. Due to the large number of residents, dense houses and narrow hutongs, firefighters were unable to directly drive fire engines to the fire site, so they had to set up water hose from the gate of the hospital and rush into the fire site to put out the fire with water hose. Dozens of minutes later, the open fire was basically put out, but due to the large amount of debris in the fire site, in order to eliminate the possibility of re ignition, firefighters did not complete the treatment of the scene until more than 3 a.m. on November 10, 2010.

Several carved beams and columns are affected

On the morning of the evening of November 10, 2010, when the reporter came to the scene again, the firefighters had just evacuated and the cordon had been set up around them. Dongcheng fire brigade posted a notice outside the shed where the fire broke out, saying that the fire site had been blocked and the fire department was conducting further investigation into the cause of the fire and forbidding others to come near. The reporter saw that the three greenhouses on fire had been completely burned down, the debris stored inside had been burned down, and the roof of a house next to the greenhouses had been damaged. Residents said that there was a switch close to the fire, and the wire was burned, resulting in the power failure of dozens of residents in the West hospital.

On the south side of the fire, the xipeidian, originally inhabited by Fujin, was also affected. Although the walls and the main building were not burned, the fire still scorched several carved beams and columns under the eaves.

Some residents suspect that it was the electrician surnamed Yu who pulled the wire privately that caused the fire.
