Forbidden Secrets

Being successful with women has long held a deep mystique for most men. In today's society men are often unfairly judged on their level of success with women. Why is one man successful while another isn't? There is almost always no apparent reason why one guy is more successful than another. It seems reasonable to assume that the successful guy has something that the less successful guy does not. A silver tongue, perhaps? A natural aptitude with which to succeed? Maybe. What he will certainly have is a set of skills and a knowledge base that generates confidence. Confidence breeds success.

The Forbidden City, for 500 years the capital of the Chinese empire, lies in the heart of Beijing. From 1420 to 1912, it was home to 24 Chinese emperors. More than a residential palace, it was a city within a city, the seat of a vast bureaucratic government that ruled what is now the earths most populated area. Rumoured to have 9,999 rooms, the Forbidden City is the worlds largest palace complex. The palace buildings, constructed almost entirely of wood, have together been recognized by the United Nations as a World Heritage site. It was truly a "forbidden" city. For centuries access was denied to all but the emperor, his family and his most senior officials and servants. A swift and painful execution faced anyone who trespassed on its sacred precincts. With unprecedented access our cameras enter the heart of the palace to provide stunning images of its magnificent buildings and reveal the secrets of those who lived there.

This year's Olympic Games in China will showcase the capital of the world's greatest new superpower. But Beijing has hosted an Opening Ceremony once before. In 1421, the great Ming Emperor Yongle invited 300,000 dignitaries from across the known world to witness the inauguration of his fabulous palace, the Forbidden City. But it was marred by a mass murder so monstrous that it provoked the vengeance of the gods and saw the main halls of the immense palace burn to the ground.
This is the astounding story of the creation of this fabulous palace and the powerful and terrifying ruler at its heart. Forged from hundreds of thousands of timbers felled in the remote corners of his empire, and massive stones dragged across ice from the frozen north, Yongle marshalled a million workers to his vision. At 180 acres and with 9000 rooms, it remains the greatest palace on Earth.
For five centuries, what went on behind its blood red walls was forbidden to all but the intimate court of the Emperor. Now, the long neglected chronicles of the Ming Dynasty, many specially translated into English for the first time, will tell how the despotic emperor clawed his way to the top, betrayed his own family and killed all in his path to steal the throne. And how he constructed a gilded palace that was also a prison; stocked with concubines, policed by eunuchs and rife with greed and treachery.
