There was a sea of people outside the city of Kunming. Countless civilians were blocked on both sides of the avenue by soldiers wearing armor and strong weapons. There were endless cheers from the crowd. There was a "cracking" sound on the top of the city, and there were even firecrackers set off.
Civil and military officials in various official robes stood outside the city gate, waiting to welcome the King of Han's carriage.
Zhu Gaoxu was sitting in the carriage without getting out of the carriage. At this time, he could hear various voices singing praises of virtues outside, such as thunderous power to intimidate the barbarians, martial arts that favored history, and so on.
But he was sitting in the carriage and did not come out to see everyone.
The Han prince's guard of honor numbered several hundred people, and with the help of tens of thousands of guards, he went straight to the palace. Zhu Gaoxu ordered the guard commanders Wang Bin, Wei Da, and
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Yao Ji's red eyes and guessed in his heart: Although she was not sure about the identity of the man in front of her, she should have some belief.He then said, "When Yao Fengji left home, Yao Ji was still young; but you have an older brother who should recognize your father. Is your brother in Yunnan now?"Yao Ji turned around when she heard the voice. Zhu Gaoxu looked into her eyes and nodded seriously.She hesitated for a moment and said softly, "My brother is also in Yunnan."After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was relieved... He usually cared about Bigger, and it seemed to be useful; now Yao Ji could trust him and believed that he would not do something too despicable, such as finding someone to pretend to be Yao Fengji and trick her into confessing who her brother was."Then why don't you go find your brother now to confirm Yao Fengji's identity?" Zhu Gaoxu asked kindly.Yao Ji had calmed down a little by then, and looked
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the smile on Yao Ji's face, and then looked thoughtful. He seemed to be wondering what her smile meant.In Yao Ji's eyes, Zhu Gaoxu is such a person, always looking like he is thinking about something. He rarely asked people directly, usually thinking about it for a while or not saying it at all.At this time, Yao Ji wanted to tell him directly why she was laughing. Her red lips were slightly opened, but she found it difficult to explain clearly, so she gave up with a slight sigh.Yao Ji has discovered since she was a child that people think like this: What benefits can I get from you? If I help you, will you be grateful and return the favor?Perhaps because of those experiences, she was very sensitive to such thoughts.So when she heard what Zhu Gaoxu said, she laughed somehow... Zhu Gaoxu said: This will make you happy, and this is always a good thing for you.Yao Ji finally spoke, "I appreciate your kindness, Your Maj
The heaven and earth seemed to be shaking gently, and the water of Dianchi Lake kept rising and falling on the shore.The vast water surface was sparkling, and water birds were flying in the sky. A thatched hut on the shore stood there alone, as if watching over the birds and fish in Dianchi Lake.Mu Zhen's heart-shaped face looked a little pale in the breeze. She stared at the water for a long time, just like the straw hut next to her. She talked a lot, mostly about her childhood playing with Geng Hao in the capital. Or she had to talk so much, because her Yi tribe attendant A Mei was not here today, and there were only the two of them around.Geng Hao may have noticed Mu Zhen's emotions, and he listened with a frown. When Mu Zhen stopped talking, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with my cousin?"Mu Zhen looked at him and sneered, "What's wrong? You still don't admit it now?"Geng Hao lowered his head and said nothing.Mu Zhen sudde
When Hu Hu returned to her residence on Baoen Temple Street, she heard that Geng Hao had been waiting at the residence for a long time.Hu Hui was sent by the capital to serve as a household affairs officer. He could check the documents of local government offices at all levels, and he could stay at the household affairs hotel of the three-level government offices in the provinces and counties for free. Therefore, sometimes Hu Hui may not be here on Baoen Temple Street."I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Hu Yi clasped his fists and shook them up and down.Geng Hao bowed and said, "It wasn't that long. I'm sorry to bother you.""Please come to the study, sir." Hu Yi said politely.The person who brought Geng Hao here was Yao Fang, a captain of the Imperial Guard. After Yao Fang sent Geng Hao into the study, she stood at the door. Hu Yi glanced at the door calmly.Hu Yi and the Jinyiwei were not of the same kind, but they were
The garden behind the Pear Garden was relatively quiet, but far from being peaceful. The sounds of stringed instruments and drums in front of the garden could still be faintly heard here. After all, this was behind the theater in the downtown area, and the hustle and bustle and vanity were right in front of us.In a hall with wooden floor, Zhu Gaoxu was making Kung Fu tea by himself. He was the only one left in the room because he had just sent the woman who made tea away.At this moment, the door opened with a creak, and the eunuch Wang Gui bent over and said, "Your Majesty, the person has arrived."Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and Wang Gui turned around and said "please", and then Yao Fang, wearing a big hat, flashed in. Yao Fang clasped his fists and said, "I saw a carriage leaving the palace, and I guessed it was the prince's carriage, so I followed it, and it turned out to be right.""Please sit here." Zhu Gaoxu said.Yao Fang walked over and said in a
In the empty Chengyun Hall, Zhu Gaoxu sat alone on the official seat, staring at the empty room in a daze.He thought of the capture of Duan Yangshi, who wanted to reveal Jianwen's whereabouts as a condition for a deal, but Zhu Gaoxu refused at that time because he had his own considerations.However, Zhu Gaoxu believed that Duan Yangshi should not have lied, perhaps she really knew the whereabouts of Jianwen!So when Zhu Gaoxu let Duan Yang go, he reminded her that she could find Hu Yi, who was also the emperor's man and had a secret order to find out the whereabouts of Jianwen.And now, Duan Yang's daughter Duan Xuehen has found Hu Yi and led him to Dali... Does this mean that Hu Yi will find Jianwen in Dali?Zhu Gaoxu had already weighed the pros and cons. If he could really use the matter of Emperor Jianwen to bring down the Mu family, it would be best to let Hu Yi do it; once Hu Yi did it, Zhu Gaoxu would clean up the mess according to the s
The Han King's Chief Secretary's Office issued an order: From now on, all guards are prohibited from causing trouble in the city and must exercise in the training ground every day.Early in the morning, Zhu Gaoxu arrived at the parade ground south of the palace to inspect the guards and horses. The civil and military officials of the palace arranged the parade ground according to the etiquette.As the sun rose, bells and drums rang out on the parade ground. Hundreds of people were singing and dancing in front of them. The lyrics were probably like poetry, "Drawing swords to rise from the Huai River, riding horses to rule the world... The generals are like stars around their hats, and the warriors are like crescent moons..."After a while, everyone finished dancing, and the soldiers followed the drums and flags and marched slowly towards the city wall.Each square formation had a soldier with a cowhide drum hanging around his neck, and another soldier p
The sound of hurried horse hooves echoed in the air. Zhu Gaoxu lifted the curtain and looked around, and felt that the sound of horse hooves came from more than one direction.Horses were usually not allowed to run in the city, but pedestrians were running around on the streets. The baskets of the porters fell to the ground, the fruits were scattered everywhere, and the cloth hung under the eaves flew in the wind. A panicked shout came from somewhere...When Zhu Gaoxu saw this messy scene, he immediately felt the atmosphere becoming tense.But he thought: Yao Fang had just returned to Kunming on a fast horse. Even if something happened in Dali, it would not have affected Kunming so quickly. So Zhu Gaoxu's inner turmoil disappeared, and he calmly observed his surroundings.As Zhu Gaoxu's carriage, escorted by the cavalry, reached the intersection, he suddenly saw a woman in blue staggering and falling beside the wall. She was struggling to grab the wall
