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,
Even in Kunming, a city known for its four seasons of spring, winter can be cold. After several days of continuous rain, a sudden gust of wind blew in from the window, and Zhu Gaoxu felt a chill in his bones."Ka!" The wooden shelf on the wall moved. Mrs. Duan turned her head alertly and looked over, as if she was disturbed. It was obvious that she had not noticed the shelf before.The shelf was pushed a few more times, and the door gradually appeared. Duan Xuehen stood at the door and immediately looked for Madam Duan.In a moment, the room suddenly became very quiet and no one made any sound.Mrs. Duan froze, and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with shock and resentment. It was a sudden reaction after being deceived and played with, but soon she gradually calmed down... Perhaps she had realized that this matter was originally intended to be publicized.Zhu Gaoxu also showed an awkward and ugly sneer. Although it was wrong to play tricks and deceive people,
Mu Zhen's attitude angered Geng Hao. He blushed, raised his head and took a breath, and suddenly smiled, "Things have changed, and now the Mu family is in danger; and I have made great contributions and will inherit the title of Marquis. If my cousin wants to come to her senses and follow me, I will still forgive the past and ensure that you will be rich and prosperous!""Master Geng, do you know what my father said?" Mu Zhen shook his head coldly, "If it were so easy to betray one's master for glory, how could Master Geng have done it?"Geng Hao's smile suddenly turned ugly. He said coldly, "Then you just wait!""If Mr. Geng has nothing else to say, I have something else to do..." Mu Zhen glanced at him and said.Geng Hao turned around to see the direction of the carriages and horses behind him and suddenly said, "Are you going to the Prince of Han's Palace?!"Mu Zhen said with a stern face, "Where are we going? Is it worthy of Master Geng to in
Only after dark will people remember that it is already the depth of winter in Kunming. I don’t know when it started, light rain started to fall in the air, and the weather became colder.Duan Xuehen crossed his arms and still kept his original pace, walking aimlessly along the street. If she encountered this difficulty in ordinary times, she would be able to find a solution quickly; but for some reason today, she simply didn't want to do anything.In the past many years, Duan Xuehen had often been alone at night, but he had never felt like this. Perhaps at that time, she knew who she was and what she wanted to do, and her mother would always miss her more or less.So now Duan Xuehen is still a little bit happy occasionally, glad that he didn't kill Mrs. Duan out of anger today. At least until now, she has not regretted her decision.As night falls, it rains again, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street.Duan Xuehen looked back a
