Since July, the capital has had several intermittent rains. The weather has become noticeably colder since the rains began, and the autumn mood has become stronger.
Zhu Gaoxu was summoned, dressed up, wore a red black gauze dragon suit, and went into the palace to see the emperor.
All the way into the imperial city from You'an Gate, Zhu Gaoxu was led by the eunuchs into Qianqing Gate, then walked through a sloping corridor and arrived at Dongnuan Pavilion. Only then did he gradually realize that he was the only prince who came to meet the Holy Spirit today.
When I walked past the partition, I saw that there was no one else inside except my father and the two eunuchs.
"My dear father, I wish you a long life!" Zhu Gaoxu saluted.
"Without courtesy, get excited." The emperor, who was wearing a blue five-clawed dragon robe, spoke in a very kind tone.
Zhu Gaoxu said "Thank you, Father" and then got up.
The emperor said, "Sit on the stool an
My father said that it was my mother's idea to let my eldest brother Zhu Gaochi be the crown prince. My mother should have had that idea, but how could she make the decision on such an important matter?Xu's health was indeed not very good. Her face was pale and her voice was a little soft. When the mother and son met, she said that she often had headaches. Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to say some comforting words.Zhu Gaoxu's words of taking care of himself were sincere. Now that the position of crown prince had been confirmed, if his mother could live a long life, it would be a kind of protection for Gaoxu....Walking out of Kunning Palace, there is nothing around except the towering hall in the middle, and only a flat and empty brick floor inside the red wall.The dense clouds above the vast palace city are majestic and looming like a mountain.Occasionally, a palace maid in a moon-white dress carrying things or a eunuch holding a whisk would w
In Chunhe Palace, Mrs. Zhang pointed at Zhu Zhanji angrily and said, "Mr. Dai asked you to go back to the palace today to practice calligraphy. Why don't you write quickly?""Father, please don't ask me to write, please?" Zhu Zhanji raised his head and looked at Mrs. Zhang pitifully.Unexpectedly, Ms. Zhang became even angrier, "Why are you happy? It's none of your business!"The eunuch quickly came up and took Zhanji to practice calligraphy. At this time, the attendant Luo'er came forward with tea and said softly, "My queen, please don't get so angry that you are so angry. My servant will help you vent your anger tomorrow.""Evil spirit, what evil spirit?" Madam Zhang frowned, "Do I look like a jealous person?"Luo'er hurriedly lowered her head and said, "I know I was wrong."However, Mrs. Zhang did not continue to blame her, and even smiled, "You slaves will stir up trouble. Since I am the prince's wife, I must take care of the prince's i
For several days in a row, the prince asked the concubine to sleep with him. Once, the prince sighed beside his pillow and said that he was very careful every day, and he felt very tired even though he did not do anything. Only when he was alone with her could he relax for a moment.But they had only known each other for a short time, and Guo Yan didn't know why the prince felt this way.A few days later, the prince even personally accompanied Guo Yan back to her parents' home to meet her parents.Just as the ceremonial procession arrived at Guo's residence, they saw another team of carriages and horses approaching. The prince opened the curtain, glanced at the lanterns carried by the attendants opposite, which had "King of Han" written on them, and said coldly, "Second brother is here too, what a coincidence."The carriage stopped and Guo Yan got off first. The prince was supported by two eunuchs and squeezed towards the exit with difficulty.At
The door of the residence of Minister of War Ru Chang was opened, which was not a common occurrence.There are etiquettes for welcoming guests according to their hierarchy. Generally, the host will open the front door only for guests of equal or higher status; he usually enters and exits through the corner door.The person who came today is Prince Zhu Gaoxu.When Ru Rong went out to meet the emperor, her face was still full of confusion and surprise. Not long ago, when the emperor asked about the selection of the crown prince, Ru Rong supported Zhu Gaochi because Zhu Gaochi was the eldest son and most of the civil officials liked him more.But now Zhu Gaoxu actually came to visit in person, and in broad daylight, swaggering to the door. Could it be that he came to call for punishment? But looking at Zhu Gaoxu's expression and posture, it didn't seem like that....The two came to the central hall, took their seats one above the other, and exchange
The hunting grounds in the capital are obviously not comparable to those in the north. Xiaohongshan Hunting Ground is located in Nanjing City.The emperor rode out of Taiping Gate on horseback with a group of soldiers and headed northwest. They arrived at an area of low forest between Xuanwu Lake and Zhongshan Mountain, which was the Xiaohongshan Hunting Ground.Zhu Di, in a tight military uniform, came to the prepared tent, dismounted and looked at the forest in front. The generals approached one after another, waiting for the emperor to deploy hunting tactics. When Gao Xu came over, he saw many familiar faces around him, most of whom were heroes of the Jingnan Rebellion; there were also some unfamiliar faces, probably generals who surrendered during the Jianwen Dynasty.He soon saw a little kid about five years old, wearing a yellow robe. The child was standing next to the emperor. Who else could it be but the good grandson Zhu Zhanji?Gao Xu suddenl
Returning from Xiaohongshan, Zhu Gaoxu walked past the screen wall and saw Professor Hou Hai. The two entered a room, and as soon as Zhu Gaoxu sat down, he couldn't help but ponder, "He Fu is a bit interesting."Hou Hai immediately whispered, "Your Majesty, I have found out something even more interesting...""Oh?" Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and then realized that Hou Hai was waiting in the palace and must have something to say.Hou Hai stepped forward and whispered, "He Fu has a younger brother named He Lu, who has disappeared. I heard that Chen Ying once impeached He Fu for this matter, but it didn't work.Chen Ying was not satisfied and found out that He Lu had appeared in the capital before the first month of the 35th year of Hongwu, but he disappeared as soon as the Jingnan Army entered the city! Chen Ying therefore impeached He Lu for colluding with Jianwen's criminals and plotting against the law. However, there was no evidence, and He Fu is stil
Everything has been arranged in the Han Palace, and the weather is getting colder. Gao Sui's marriage was scheduled for late October.One morning, Xie Jin publicly impeached the King of Han for violating the law, impeaching the King of Han for not going to the vassal state and delaying for far beyond the regulations. The law is the law, and the emperor can only say "I know".But Xie Jin was very dissatisfied with the emperor's noncommittal attitude. He continued to advise that the emperor should not be too indulgent to the princes.So the emperor was unhappy all morning.However, Zhu Di did not reprimand Xie Jin. He just asked about the construction of the Prince of Han's Palace in Yunnan. He also ordered some of the Prince of Han's guards and family members to go to Yunnan in batches.According to the military law of the Ming Dynasty, when the "regular soldiers" were stationed in a place for a long time, they had to bring their wives, soldiers a
"Dong Dong Bang..." The sound of the gongs and drums suddenly became very loud. Perhaps the sound had always been loud, but she just heard it again now; she was confused for a long time just now, and her mind was a little dazed.Then, the fireworks whistled and whistled, and a moment later, they exploded in the air with a bang, and even the felt carriage was slightly illuminated. With the faint light, she looked down at herself, her face getting hotter and hotter, and she hurriedly struggled to raise her weak hands and pull her jacket and skirt to her waist. At this time, her nails caught on the fabric, and she felt a slight pain in her fingers.When the second firework flashed, she found that the tip of her nail was broken backwards. She then remembered that it was broken when she grabbed the wooden board of the carriage, but she almost forgot it.She couldn't say a word, and quietly packed her things. The light in the carriage was dim, and she lowered her
