It drizzled and didn't stop until noon.
From time to time, ships with flames ablaze would appear on the river, drifting southward. Corpses could be seen everywhere in the water, washed away along with all kinds of debris.
The killing on the river beach was not over yet. The enemy soldiers driven to the shore were so crowded that they could not move. The water was also full of people. Every moment, someone was squeezed into the deep water and struggled on the surface of the river.
The people had long since discarded their weapons and were gasping for air with their heads raised like fish out of water. However, it was impossible for people to stand steadily in deep water. A wave or a squeeze from their companions would wash them to the center of the river. The men in armor struggled to get their heads out of the water but sank after one or two tries. The clothes of the Annan soldiers without armor were also enough to make them suffer.
In this short stret
The three generations of the Mu family discussed things in the old lady's room, usually important matters.Mu Zhen's father Mu Sheng was speaking, "The Prince of Zhao is a prince, very much favored by the emperor, but now he doesn't even have a son. Zhen'er will be the Princess of Zhao after marriage. As long as she gives birth to a son, he will be the eldest son of the Prince of Zhao and will definitely be a prince in the future. Zhen'er will live a good life all her life."Her mother, Mrs. Chen, seemed to notice that Mu Zhen was unhappy, and then looked at Mu Zhen and said softly, "You are young and don't understand many things. People change. What you value now will not be the same in a few years." You will understand that it is because you are young and ignorant. If you listen to your parents, you will not suffer."When her parents spoke, Mu Zhen usually would not respond rudely, but now she didn't respond at all.Somehow, she felt unhappy at all a
When Duan Xuehen received Mu Zhen's letter, the sun was setting in the west. The letter was delivered by a eunuch who was on duty at the gate of the palace. Mu Zhen wanted to ask her to meet.In the past two years, Duan Xuehen has never been with Mu Mansion, and he has not even changed his last name. Duan Xuehen felt very sudden when she learned that her cousin had an appointment; she didn't want to face the Mu family, but she also felt that something might be wrong with Mu Zhen.In the past, the person who hated the Mu family the most was Duan Yang. Duan Xuehen also believed that the Mu family was their enemy and had never had a good impression of them. But for some reason, when she learned that she was also a member of the Mu family, Duan Xuehen gradually felt close to the Mu family even though she had no contact with them... Probably because she felt that after the Mu family knew about her life experience, You won't hurt your own family?So Duan Xuehen ga
It's been cloudy in the capital all day with no sun. It might rain in the evening.Near the hour of You, the young eunuch Wang Yin came to the Qifu Temple carrying a food box. Teenagers grow fast, and Miao Jin hadn't seen him for a few months, and she felt that he seemed to have grown a little taller.Wang Yin was the son of Zhang Yan, the former clerk of the Prince of Yan's palace. He recognized the eunuch Wang Gou'er, who was in the imperial kitchen, as his godfather and changed his name to Wang Yin, taking Wang Gou'er's surname.Miao Jin thought that now, apart from her, no one else knew Wang Yin's original surname. Unexpectedly, Wang Yin soon mentioned someone, the foster father who had adopted him before..."Yesterday, Wang Gandi and I went out of the palace to buy things, and suddenly met my adoptive father on the street. My adoptive father recognized me, followed me quietly, and met me privately in a shop." Wang Yin took out the food from the fo
It was drizzling inside and outside the imperial city, and it was wet and cold everywhere.The Annan people, Mo Sui, Fan Shijin, Du Weizhong and others, who had just arrived in the capital, came to the outside of Hongwu Gate despite the rain, kneeling down and begging the Ming emperor to appoint officials to "govern" Annan and incorporate the land into the Ming territory. They also presented a petition of the people, saying that the local Confucian scholars and people were loyal to the court.But Emperor Zhu Di did not meet these people immediately. He was still inside the imperial gate, viewing the "People's Table" with other ministers. The People's Table was filled with signatures, and the wide silk cloth had various handwritings.Despite the public opinion, Zhu Di still did not decide to annex Annan. Because of this, there was a great dispute among the ministers in the court, especially Yao Guangxiao, the prince's tutor, who was very opposed. In addition,
It was only March, and it was raining in both the east and west of Annan. The rainy season had not yet arrived, and the more time passed, the more rain there would be.Before Zhu Gaoxu left the Western Capital, Qinghua, he met Zhang Fu. Zhang Fu looked very good, very happy about the victory, and he was waiting for a promotion.However, Zhu Gaoxu, as the commander-in-chief, felt completely different from Zhang Fu. Instead, he was a little nervous and felt vaguely uneasy.Zhu Gaoxu received the news when the troops from Yunnan Prefecture escorting Annan Prince Chen Zhengyuan just arrived at Jiling Pass; he returned to Thang Long with his troops, but was still one step later than the people from Yunnan.The continuous rain for several days made the roads outside Thang Long City muddy. When Zhu Gaoxu entered the inner city, many streets were paved with bricks and stones, making the roads much easier to walk on. The houses near the palace were washed by th
The last time Zhu Gaoxu returned to Thang Long, he was invited by Queen Chen to sit in the hall, but he did not accept; but today he took the initiative to visit Chen because Zhu Gaoxu felt that his current situation was a bit unfair to her.It rained for several days, and it was very humid everywhere. Zhu Gaoxu put away his umbrella and placed it outside the door. He looked back and saw that the sky was gloomy and seemed to be getting dark, but it was only afternoon.Chen invited him to sit down, and the two exchanged a few pleasantries. Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, and finally said, "The court is unwilling to recognize Chen Zhengyuan's princely status. Annan may have to set up three prefectures and counties and directly include them in the jurisdiction of the Ming court. Yesterday I received an imperial edict to escort Hu and his son to Beijing as soon as possible. I am afraid I can no longer manage Annan's affairs."Chen stared at him with a fluctuati
Zhu Di had already been informed of where Gao Xu's troops were going, and he was in a good mood recently.Zhu Di will be able to accept the captives tomorrow. This is the first great victory of the Ming army since the "Battle of Jingnan". The Ming army not only quickly destroyed the Kingdom of Annan, but also captured the bandit leader Hu and his sons and a group of ministers alive. The result is very good.The eunuch Gou'er, who was sent to convey the emperor's orders to Gao Xu a few months ago, had already returned to Beijing. Gou'er reported Gao Xu's attitude of following the emperor's orders, and Zhu Di was very satisfied.Gao Xu was not only very capable but also very obedient. His children were obedient and filial, and everyone from the emperor to the common people would be very pleased with such things.The bells and drums of the You hour had already sounded, and Zhu Di stood up from the throne and walked out of the imperial gate. Zhu Di glanced
"Your Highness the King of Han, please!" Jin Zhong made a gesture. Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and glanced at the tower of Donghua Gate, then walked in.He entered the imperial city through Dong'an Gate. At that time, all the entourage stopped. Not everyone could enter the imperial city. After walking for a while, Zhu Gaoxu and Jin Zhong entered the Donghua Gate. Inside was royal palace.After entering Donghua Gate, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt something fishy.Normally when civil and military officials enter the palace, they rarely take the south road, which is far away; they have to pass through Hongwu Gate, Chengtian Gate, and Meridian Gate before entering the palace. The Qianbu Corridor Street between Hongwu Gate and Chengtian Gate is about A thousand steps away.However, civil and military officials went separately. Military attachés usually went through Xihua Gate. Zhu Gaoxu belonged to the clan, but he used to go through Xihua Gate when entering the pa
