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
The Yunnan Military Command Office was surrounded by armored soldiers. In front of them were densely packed heavy infantry with spears and shields blocking the gate, and in the back were musketeers and crossbowmen ready for battle. All of these soldiers were wearing Ming army armor, and on a fluttering banner was written the word "Han".Outside the gate of the yamen, there were also many armored soldiers holding swords and guns, facing the troops outside, but no one dared to act rashly.At this time, Zhu Gaoxu and his party had arrived outside the hall. Zhu Gaoxu was wearing armor but had no weapons."Your Highness the King of Han, we are all family. Why make such a big fuss?" A man in a red official robe said with a fist.Zhu Gaoxu's friendly smile seemed to reassure the officials. He also clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you all. But I just received a secret report that someone in Dali Prefecture is plotting a rebellion! This is a se
Whenever he does important things, Zhu Gaoxu likes to sit alone in this empty hall.Perhaps because some film and television scenes from previous lives remain in my mind, failed ancient rulers would always sit on the throne of an empty palace, lonely and lonely; there would no longer be ministers who went to court, and outside it was windy and rainy, and the country was in turmoil. The scene...Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be reminding himself how miserable the situation of a failed superior was. The fear of failure would spur him to do things more carefully.But there was no wind or rain now. The sunlight was blinding outside the hall, leaving a distinct light and dark shadow under the double eaves.Zhu Gaoxu sat motionless in his official chair, his eyes lowered, pondering what was happening before him....Hu Yi found out the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen through Duan Yangshi very suddenly; therefore, even with the support and protection of the local t
There was a drizzle in the sky, and the mountain road was steep and slippery. A group of people in armor and weapons were trudging along the road like a long dragon.The air was filled with the clanking sounds of armor colliding, and people's breathing was heard everywhere. The temperature in the mountains was even lower, and many people were breathing out white steam.Hu Xi's robe was covered with mud, and the futon on his head was crooked. He fell down more than once. The rain was not heavy, and it just wet the road. There was hard soil under a thin layer of mud, but the road was wet. More slippery. He was holding a wooden stick and opened his mouth like a fish out of water. He was panting like a bellows, but he didn't make a moan or cry.Not only was he desperately climbing the mountain, he also took the time to ask Duan Yang in front of him, "Mrs. Duan, think about it again, are there any trails that have been missed..."Duan Yang, who was walking
