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
The soldiers escorted a tightly covered felt carriage down the mountain. On the way, a soldier came to report that Duan Baoji was no longer in her mansion in the city, or she had run away!A general asked whether to seal off Duan Baoji's residence. Hu Yi pondered for a while and stopped him, saying, "It is said that Duan Baoji's son-in-law is the general commander of Dali and is still in office. We must not act rashly and be careful to prevent complications."After hearing this, Chen Dachui, a military general guarding the palace, agreed.At this time, the tower of Dali City was already in sight. Several people around looked up at the city and fell silent. Chen Dachui said in a low voice, "I heard that Dali is the territory of the Mu family. If we put the body in Dali City, nothing will happen again, right?"Hu Yi pondered, "It shouldn't happen. The Dali Prefecture has long been changed from aboriginal to civilian officials. Only the Dali General is no
He Fu was originally a marquis and served as a governor. After the "Jingnan Campaign", he surrendered to show his loyalty, married, and other actions; plus the fact that the territory he had to worry about after ascending the throne had expanded and he urgently needed generals, He Fu had re-entered the ranks of the highest-ranking military generals of the Ming emperor.But now He Fu's younger brother is in Zhu Gaoxu's hands, and many people know that Zhu Gaoxu has captured a close confidant of Jianwen. If this matter is exposed, it will be He Fu's death warrant... Does he dare to disobey?Zhu Gaoxu felt like he had found a treasure and was immersed in joy for a long time.It was not easy for a military official in the court to become a vassal king's man! Even the crown prince did not dare to easily win over court officials.Despite his excitement, Zhu Gaoxu found himself feeling a little uneasy.After pacing around in this courtyard for a while,
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
