Outside Puzikou City, corpses were strewn all over the ground, and snowflakes were floating on the messy corpses, making it particularly solemn and desolate. On the ground lay a fallen flag, the word "Ming" on it was already blurred in the mud and snow.
A soldier wearing a wide-brimmed hat ran desperately in the snow, accidentally kicked a corpse and fell to the ground. He immediately turned over and stared at the whistling iron horse with terrified eyes. He pressed his hands on the snow behind him and kicked his feet to move his body backwards.
A large flag with "Prince Gaoyang" written on it fluttered over, and on a large brown horse, Zhu Gaoxu, who was fully armored, raised his spear and stabbed at the soldiers on the ground. But the spear was suddenly retracted, and Zhu Gaoxu shouted on horseback, "Surrender and you can avoid death!"
"General, please spare my life!" the soldier finally shouted.
Zhu Gaoxu then put away his spear. The soldier turned
"Wa wa wa..." Zhu Wengui, who was less than one year old, seemed to sense the danger. He kicked and cried in the arms of the eunuch Wu Zhong.Empress Ma was distressed when she heard this and looked back at Wengui several times. If Wengui fell into the hands of the enemy, he would be in great danger, but Empress Ma could not bear to take his life personally. After all, he was her own flesh and blood. She could only leave it to fate and let Wengui's fate take its course."Your Majesty!" Eunuch Wu Zhong knelt in the hall holding the little prince, "Your Majesty, please think twice..."Ma said, "I am the mother of the country. How can I be humiliated by a traitor?"Wu Zhong cried, "I am willing to follow the Queen."Ma pointed at the child in his arms and said, "Take good care of Wengui."Wu Zhong knelt there for a long time.Ma gritted her teeth and walked out of Kunning Palace without looking back. The spring snow outside had stopped,
The simple room in the temple was almost empty except for two pieces of crude wooden furniture and cloth bedding. Yao Ji propped her back against the wooden door and heard people outside discussing how to execute her!Yao Ji was terrified and angry, her hands and feet were shaking. She didn't want to die! She wanted a lot of things, but after more than ten years in this world, all she got was torture. How could she be willing?After a while, there was a "bang" sound, and Yao Ji stumbled when the door was lifted, and the thin door was knocked open. Then two nuns came up and grabbed her, and tied a hemp rope around her.Yao Ji struggled to her feet, staring at the old nun at the door, gritting her teeth and hissing, "If I die here, I will turn into a fierce ghost and make you all die miserably!""Shut her mouth!"Yao Ji bit her lip and spat out a mouthful of blood toward the door, staring at it with her big eyes....The capital city, with a p
A circle of white cloth had been hung on the Meridian Gate, and faint sounds of mourning were heard from the palace. Zhu Gaoxu stood on the Thousand-Step Corridor and heard Wang Bin say that the emperor had committed suicide by burning himself in the Fengtian Hall and had passed away.Zhu Gaoxu looked back to the north and thought to himself: When the Fengtian Hall caught fire, I went in personally, and I didn't see the emperor inside at all.He did not comment, but handed the reins to Wang Bin and said, "She is Yao Ji. You take care of her while I go to see my father first."Wang Bin said, "I obey your command."Yao Ji's bright eyes rested on Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu saw it and knew that Yao Ji didn't know anyone here except him, so he said kindly, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."Wang Bin pointed to a mansion on the Qianbu Corridor, and Zhu Gaoxu walked towards that place alone.On the way, he was still thinking about one thing: before going
It looks very desolate among the carved windows and painted buildings.Zhu Gaoxu walked into the gatehouse and saw Yao Ji coming out of a wing room. She leaned against the door and looked at him, then took another step out, knelt down and bowed, her slender neck very straight.Yao Ji was still wearing a monk's robe, and it was a bit strange for her to perform such etiquette. However, she had lived in the palace before, so she performed the etiquette very properly."Forget it." Zhu Gaoxu said.The woman had to look at the ground while doing the salute. At this time, Yao Ji immediately raised her head and asked softly, "When the prince saw Queen Ma, what did she say?""I said some bad things about you." Zhu Gaoxu forced a smile and said, "But I defended you. You were born to be extremely beautiful, so you are jealous of others, and because you have been bullied for a long time, you have so much resentment."Yao Ji immediately cast a grateful
The people in Wuding Marquis's mansion were in mourning and weeping. They were not weeping because the emperor had passed away, but because the old Marquis Guo Ying had passed away!Yesterday, the Jingnan Army entered the capital. This morning, Guo Ying drank poison and died for his country. When he died, blood was gushing out of his seven orifices and his face was hideous. When the son-in-law Guo Zhen got the news, he hurried back to the mansion. At this time, the second son of the Marquis, Guo Ming, had already wiped the blood off his father's face and discussed with his brothers: when the funeral was held, they should say that their father had died of illness!Two brothers disagreed, but the eldest son Guo Zhen quickly sided with his second brother Guo Ming. The eldest brother had his own opinion, so the Marquisate claimed that Guo Ying died of old age and illness.At this time, many shops in the capital were still closed. The incident happened suddenly a
Just when Guo Ming was about to go find Dali Temple Minister Xue Yan, Xue Yan came to his house on his own to mourn the old marquis.Xue Yan was immediately received as a distinguished guest by Guo Ming, who personally followed him around and led the way. Xue Yan went to the mourning hall to pay respect to the spirit tablet, and then said to Guo Ming and others, "The old marquis is old and has many children and grandchildren. Guo Dianbao must mourn for him."Guo Ming replied with tears in his eyes, and then said, "Mr. Xue Si, please come this way."He took Xue Yan to the living room not far away and sat him down. He said, "The world is in turmoil right now, but Mr. Xue Si still took the risk to come here. The Guo family is very grateful.""Where is the unrest? The situation has long been determined." Xue Yan said calmly, "Yesterday, when the King of Yan came to the capital, I met with him. Many people urged him to ascend the throne, and I followed suit
On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the third day after the Jingnan Army entered the capital, Prince Yan refused several attempts to ascend the throne and received no consent from his ministers, so he reluctantly ascended the throne in the imperial city and became emperor.Since Emperor Jianwen died by self-immolation in the Fengtian Hall, the Fengtian Hall was burned down, and the coronation ceremony was held inside the Fengtian Gate. Zhu Gaoxu followed the royal family, nobles, generals and ministers to watch the ceremony.The interior of Fengtian Gate had already been properly decorated. On the dragon throne were set up a cloud disk and a yellow cloud cover that could collect "fairy dew". The ground was covered with a vermilion carpet that extended all the way outside the gate.The court officials and the musicians from the Jiaofang Bureau filled the Fengtian Gate. During the national mourning, the musicians did not play music, but the ceremon
Zhang returned to the Prince's Mansion and told Zhu Gaochi about Xu Miaojin's situation, repeatedly hinting that Miaojin's whereabouts had been unknown for half a year. But Zhu Gaochi was not interested.Then Zhang said, "Tie Xuan of the Shandong Provincial Administration Office has not surrendered yet. Didn't the official document from the capital say that your father will lead troops to attack him? When your father returns to Beiping, the prince can follow your father to the capital."Zhu Gaochi slumped on a couch, nodded thoughtfully and said nothing.Seeing this, Zhang said kindly, "My Lord, when you arrive in the capital, don't forget those former officials who were unsuccessful in their duties."Zhu Gaochi immediately said in a deep voice, "Are you dissatisfied with my father's satisfaction with me and think that things are not chaotic enough?"Zhang said softly, "The Crown Prince is our father's eldest son. If he doesn't become the Crown P
The sky gradually darkened and the lights came on. Gao Xu held Miao Jin's hand and followed the crowd into the concert hall.People were all dressed up, especially women, who were all dressed up. Some wore traditional clothes such as ruqun or aoqun, while others were dressed in modern fashion. Each figure seemed to be wandering between the classical and the modern.Among them there are many foreigners, probably all of whom came to Taicang to attend international conferences.In terms of fun, people might prefer to watch a movie rather than enjoy such pure music. However, there were still many listeners tonight, and the auditorium gradually filled up.Perhaps some of them value the rarity of concerts and do not attend them often, while others simply value their style.Gao Xu's main happiness comes from Miao Jin's company. Imagine if he came alone or with someone unrelated, his feelings would be much worse. He is willing to be with Miao Jin and exp
There were long commercials playing on TV, but no one changed the channel.Miao Jin was doing chores and preparing ingredients for lunch. Gao Xu began to check his various instruments, which were all measuring tools he had collected a while ago.There is a ray detector, which, according to the manual, can detect radiation, including ultraviolet light, laser and other electromagnetic waves. There is a torsion balance experimental device, which can measure the gravitational constant. And an air measuring instrument.There were also some uncommon small devices. In short, except for the large instruments that were difficult to carry, he tried his best to buy all the instruments that could test general constants.Miao Jin would occasionally look over here curiously, but before she asked, she might have guessed what Gao Xu was going to do.Gao Xu would tell her clearly as long as she asked. Because when he was going to look for the cave in Huangshan, h
Gao Xu usually doesn't like watching TV. But today, when Miao Jin was watching TV in the living room, he was gradually attracted by the TV program, so he stopped what he was doing and sat next to Miao Jin.There was a studio on the TV screen, with two hosts, a man and a woman, talking about the animation "Zootopia" like a crosstalk. It was neither news nor entertainment, but a show that mocked reality.Miao Jin saw Gao Xu sitting over and said, "This TV station should be more inclined to the left-wing viewpoint."Gao Xu asked, "Why haven't I heard of the distinction between left and right wings?"Miao Jin said, "It is originally an imported product. That is how foreigners describe Ming Dynasty politics. There is no clear distinction between left and right in China. So we generally don't use such words. It is normal that we don't hear them normally."She glanced at Gao Xu and continued, "This classification first appeared in the parliament during
Gao Xu's drama project has less than half the investment of the animation project, with a total investment of about 40 million yen for 15 episodes; the profit expectations are also completely incomparable to those of animated films. As Wang Siqi and most people believe, the fastest way to make money is still the movie box office.But Gao Xu has invested more energy in costume dramas.The crew built a filming site in the Western Regions. From 509 to the first half of 510, a production period of less than a year, Gao Xu flew twice to personally observe the filming site. His subordinate Sun Jing also stayed in the Western Regions for a long time, passing various information back to Taicang.A large media company in Taicang has signed an exclusive premiere agreement with Dream Incubation Studio.The terms are a bit complicated, but the key is to adopt a cooperation model with floating copyright fees. When the series is almost finished, a pay TV station und
The glass window on the outer wall is located in the east direction, so the sunlight cannot enter the studio in the afternoon. Therefore, Gao Xu often has a slight illusion that it seems to be later than the actual time.At this moment, the phone in his coat pocket rang. Gao Xu's phone rarely received calls because he had set the Do Not Disturb function, so no calls could be received from numbers that were not saved. He took it out and saw that it was a person who he did not contact often but had saved the number a long time ago, Sun Jing.Gao Xu stood up from his desk, walked to the corner by the glass window, glanced at Wang Cheng not far away, and answered the phone.Sun Jing's voice asked, "Are you still busy with work?"Gao Xu said, "Yes, I am working on two projects at the same time, so I am a little busy. How is Mr. Sun doing recently?"Sun Jing, "Very boring. I don't have to go to work, but I've been idle for so long that I feel like I'm
This was the second time Gao Xu and Xiao Yu had a meal together. Last time they were at the company cafeteria, and today they were at a roadside fast food restaurant.After finishing work at the agency, Gao Xu drove off the main road and found a parking space. Then he randomly found a restaurant where he could eat and walked in with Xiao Yu.It was very lively inside, with all kinds of customers, including well-dressed office workers and some homely citizens, men, women, young and old, making a big noise in the room, mixed with the loud shouts of the shop assistants passing on information. Although the air conditioner was on, the shop was open and there were many people, so it was still very hot inside.There were several dishes to choose from, all of which were simple and convenient. Gao Xu and Xiao Yu gave up on the braised pork intestines with radish, and roast duck was too greasy, so they chose roast chicken.The roasted chicken skin was cut into p
After many twists and turns, Gao Xu finally contacted the director named Ma Xuan.Ma Xuan has an account on the Internet where he posts some career news. Gao Xu's assistant Yu Ni left messages and sent messages, but it took several days for her to get a response. Gao Xu came to the hall and looked through the information records on Yu Ni's computer."He doesn't seem very proactive." Yu Ni said.Gao Xu said , "You claim to be the assistant of the investor of "Dream Seekers", but he may not believe you. If our studio also has such a certified account, it may save some trouble."At this time, Shidai Heng walked by and greeted him, "Mr. Liu."Gao Xu nodded and said, "We are trying to contact Ma Xuan, the director you recommended."Dai Heng came over and said, "He should have received a lot of similar messages. And there is indeed some false information on the Internet. For the purpose of advertising, people may lie about their identities, which
The people who work here, including Dai Heng who has only been here a few days, seem to have gotten used to the environment.The studio was in good condition. The morning sun shone in through the French windows, and the room was clean and tidy. In addition to the solid wood desk and bookshelf, and a full range of domestic electrical appliances (Made in China products are more expensive), there were also comfortable leather chairs.Gao Xu was in Xiao Deng's office at the moment, sitting on one of the leather chairs, holding a tablet and reading the text he had just copied from Xiao Deng's computer. Of course, he couldn't help but listen to the sound of her keyboard at the same time.He put down the tablet, picked up the cup next to him, and found it was empty. So he stood up and walked to the water dispenser, filled up half a cup of hot water, then took a tea bag and put it in the cup to soak for more than ten seconds, then took it out and put it next to him.
The next screenwriter who came to the studio for an interview was named Dai Heng, who should be a relatively unknown person.Gao Xu looked out from the glass wall and when he saw Dai Heng, he immediately guessed that this person was probably not married yet. Dai Heng was wearing a brand new suit, a white shirt with a small cross collar, and a pair of casual leather shoes that didn't match. The most unpleasant thing about Dai Heng was his long hair, but unlike the image of Ekin Cheng, Gao Xu felt at first glance that Dai Heng was not suitable for that hairstyle. Some hairstyles look good, but they are picky about the face.But these are not problems. Now that the people have arrived, Gao Xu needs to get to know them a little bit.Gao Xu pressed the phone on the desk, "Xiao Yu, ask him to come to the office to meet.""Okay." Xiao Yu said into the phone outside, his voice coming from the desk inside.Dai Heng came in from the door with a bag on his
