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
Before we knew it, it was the end of December and the first year of Yongle was about to become a thing of the past.In a few days, it will be the second year of Yongle, the third year of the current emperor's accession to the throne and the second year of Zhu Gaoxu's vassalage in Yunnan.The Han Palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and a grand banquet was held with singing and dancing. Most of the civil and military officials from the Yunnan Provincial Administration Commissioner's Office came to the banquet. However, this kind of banquet is quite rigid, from drums and music to dance and lyrics and etiquette. Everyone had a fixed set of words when they met, which was more like acting on the stage, and they had to recite the lines.In the main hall of Chengyun Palace, palace maids were carrying delicious food and fine wine. The dancers in the middle of the hall were dancing to the music, and the musicians were singing along with one person:
In the imperial palace, bright red lanterns were hung on the sloping corridor outside the East Warm Pavilion. Several ministers in red robes had just walked out of the East Warm Pavilion. As they walked up the sloping corridor, the color of their clothes matched the lanterns perfectly.The only minister left in the partition of the East Warm Pavilion was Yao Guangxiao. He was wearing a black gauze cap and official uniform, sitting on a waist-round stool. Even with a hat on, Yao Guangxiao could be seen as a monk with no hair on his temples.Emperor Zhu Di stood in front of a large map that took up most of the wall, and it took him a long time to turn around. Yao Guangxiao bowed slightly when he saw this.Zhu Di said in a deep voice, "Master, do you think Jianwen was protected by Mu Sheng?"The person the emperor is talking about refers to Emperor Jianwen. He actually asked such a simple question. Jianwen was able to hide in Dali Mansion, a place he was
Zhu Gaoxu came to the Liyuan today to meet Mrs. Shen Xu; he had not expected to meet Mu Zhen, Mu Sheng's eldest daughter. Something must have happened to Mu Zhen.He buried his head and tinkered with the Kung Fu tea utensils on the marble table with his own hands, looking up at Mu Zhen from time to time.The young lady in front of him reminded Zhu Gaoxu of the climate in Yunnan. A sunny day is clear and bright, but a rainy day is covered with dark clouds. When I first met Mu Zhen, she was much more cheerful and generous than ordinary ladies; but now, her mood is probably like a rainy day, making people feel very solemn.Her plump face and delicate chin make her facial features look very delicate. It also makes her eyes appear large and the emotions in her eyes are particularly obvious. What she was feeling was all written in those big eyes.Zhu Gaoxu sat and Mu Zhen stood. They didn't speak for a while, and Zhu Gaoxu felt a little embarrassed. He didn'
Hu Guang became famous not only because of the joke about the pig, but also because he was the top scholar selected by the emperor during the Jianwen period.Zhu Gaoxu had never met him before, but his first impression today was very good. He did not find that Hu Guang had the slightest cowardly and despicable temperament; on the contrary, the middle-aged civil servant in his thirties in front of him was a handsome man.Hu Guang was tall, with a straight face and pleasing facial features. He was also elegant and refined in his manners, and spoke modestly and appropriately. He looked very likable. Emperor Jianwen chose him as the top scholar for this reason. Appearance and manners were still very important for officials in the Ming Dynasty.Zhu Gaoxu invited him to sit down, but he politely declined twice before finally sitting down on a chair beside the official seat.Hu Guang said, "Before I left the capital, I went to the palace to see the emperor. T
Zhu Gaoxu called Chen Dachui to see off the guests and sent Hu Guang to stay at the hotel in the front hall of the Han Dynasty.After Hu Guang left the gallery here, he pushed aside the wooden shelf at the door of the wing. Mu Zhen was standing inside the door, looking up at him."His Royal Highness the King of Han really spoke for the Mu family..." Mu Zhen looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a complicated expression."Well..." Zhu Gaoxu made a sound of unknown meaning.At this time, he didn't feel very comfortable. Maybe it seemed to others that he was a little worried... Mu Sheng had done such a serious thing, but he was let go. Didn't his father, Zhu Di, want to keep Mu Sheng as a check and balance? he! ?Zhu Gaoxu is a dignified prince, and he has already lived a good life with his tail between his legs, but he still can't seem to reassure his biological father.The Marquis of Xiping was first suspected of harboring General Ping An, and then made
On the Lantern Festival, Zhu Gaoxu sent Mu Zhen away and held a banquet. It was a festive occasion, so the imperial envoys passing through Yunnan, as well as Hu Guang and others, came to the banquet. They talked about some military and national affairs at the banquet.Emperor Zhu Di seems to be playing a big game of chess!The imperial envoys first talked about the Annan Kingdom. In August and September last year, some former ministers of the Annan Kingdom fled to the capital and confronted the Hu envoys. By the end of the year, the Laotian native officials got Chen Tianping, a relative of the Chen clan, and escorted him to Beijing. Chen Tianping denounced Hu's crimes.At the beginning of this year, the imperial court sent envoys such as Li Qi to Annan to question Hu. They arrived in Kunming yesterday.During the speech, he also mentioned that the native officials of Laos were respectful to the imperial court, which made the emperor very happy. He has
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, various government offices started printing one after another, and all three offices in Yunnan resumed their operations. At this time, the capital was about to send an envoy to Meng Yang to comfort the envoy. Zhu Gaoxu immediately sent Chief Shi Qianxun and others to accompany him. The Shen Mansion also arranged for a steward named Xu to go with him.After the cabinet minister Hu Guang and the officials and eunuchs from the capital arrived in Dali Mansion, Hu Hu, who was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, returned to Kunming in early February and went to the Han Dynasty Palace to seek an audience.As soon as Hu Xi and Zhu Gaoxu arrived in Yunnan, although they walked together all the way, they went about their own affairs when they arrived in Yunnan. Hu Xi had never been to the Han Dynasty Palace. Today he took the initiative to come to the door. He was indeed a rare visitor.When Zhu Gaoxu
Ancient people would check the almanac before traveling. Hu Yi and his group chose a good day to leave Kunming. Early in the morning, they could see the rising sun. Today was a bright sunny day.Zhu Gaoxu stood on the tower of Duanli Gate and told Chen Dachui to do the things he had told him to do after arriving in Beijing. When Chen Dachui walked down the tower, Zhu Gaoxu watched the group of people leave the Hanwang Mansion and walk away.When the carriages and horses turned around, they could no longer be seen from the tower. Zhu Gaoxu then retracted his gaze and said with some regret, "It's strange to say that I stayed in Beiping the longest, but now the place I miss most is not Beiping, but the capital..."He thought for a while and then said in deep thought, "Maybe the place doesn't matter, it just depends on whether there is anyone who cares about that place.""Yeah." A voice responded.Zhu Gaoxu glanced sideways when he heard the sound an
