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
Miao Jin increasingly felt that she had made a mess of her situation.She paced back and forth on the platform outside the Qifu Temple, looking at the wide alley to the west from time to time, but she could not see any movement. The entire palace seemed to be shrouded in a terrible silence.There is a courtyard wall outside the Qifu Temple. To the east is a tall red palace wall, at least three feet high (ten meters); to the north and south are palace walls, with the Dashan Hall to the north and the Xingqing Palace to the south. The gap between the two buildings forms a wide passage. Miao Jin lives in a place like the Qifu Temple, so she often feels depressed.This morning Miao Jin asked Wang Yin to take the opportunity to remind Gao Xu to enter the palace. At that time, she did not think too much, but was only concerned about Gao Xu. But now that she has been alone for a long time, she gradually feels scared....The young eunuch Wang Yin came to Qifu T
Under the gloomy sky, the early morning fog has not completely dissipated and spread lightly between the palace rooms.Miaojin stood on the platform of the prayer temple, looking over the wall of the small courtyard, and suddenly saw a flash of red running towards this side. Looking at the red figure from a distance, I don't think he is very fast. He is gradually getting closer, but running on foot can be considered very fast. Miaojin felt that the figure looked familiar at first sight.Miaojin was suddenly startled and thought of Gao Xu!After only a short while, she saw clearly that the man was Gao Xu, King of Han! Miao Jin felt a little confused, and her whole body froze for a moment, and then she heard the "dong dong dong" sound of her heartbeat.Miao Jin couldn't figure out why Gao Xu came to the blessing temple now, and she was very surprised.If there is nothing important in the palace and Gao Xu comes directly to her, how can she explain
In the main hall of Fengxian Hall, Zhu Gaoxu was crying very loudly! Even with the door closed, his shouts could be heard clearly outside the door. The king of Han cried to Taizu inside, saying that what traitor wanted to overthrow the country of Ming Dynasty was simply astonishing."Ding dong!" A crisp sound came from the brick floor, and the cherry gun in a sergeant's hand fell to the ground for some reason! This seemed to wake up the surrounding sergeants. Almost immediately, there was a sound of weapons being thrown away.A group of Ming army soldiers knelt down one after another under the carved dragon stone steps. The leading general was Tan Qing. Seeing this, he had no choice but to kneel down. After he knelt down, he immediately turned his head and said in a deep voice to the confidant next to him, "Quickly call Jin Butang and Guo Butang to come over."The sergeant next to him nodded, bent over, stood up, and walked outside.Guo Zi and Jin Zhon
Yesterday evening, Jin Zhong and several others who had just arrived at Chunhe Hall wept and paid respects to the deceased emperor. Soon, the crown prince and his wife Zhang invited the ministers to a place to discuss the funeral arrangements.At that time, in addition to the prince and his wife, there were a total of nine people participating, including Jin Zhong and Guo Zi, officials at the imperial court level, Yuan Gong, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple; Yang Rong, Yang Pu, and Yang Shiqi, officials of the East Palace, and military commander Tan Haitao, the eunuch of the Qing Dynasty.The prince did not like eunuchs, but Haitao was an exception. This eunuch had been with him for a long time; and Haitao obeyed the advice of the princess Zhang. Many eunuchs in the East Palace were also very grateful to Zhang. I heard that Zhang saved the lives of those eunuchs more than once and often spoke for the slaves.Jin Zhong and other civil and military officials on
Jin Zhongyi couldn't figure out who the traitorous murderer was! It seemed that there were at least three people who might have done this.The imperial kitchen eunuch Wang Gou'er, the crown prince's second concubine Guo, and even the crown prince and his wife might not be out of the question. After all, the death of the emperor would be good for the crown prince, and their father-son relationship was not good; it was just that the emperor died in the East Palace, so Jin Zhong thought that the crown prince might be innocent.The medical officer diagnosed that the emperor was poisoned by a cobra snake, and Jin Zhong made a special trip to ask the medical officer. After the cobra snake venom is taken out, the storage time is short, and the toxicity will drop greatly in one day and one night; even if it is placed in ice, it can only be stored for more than half a month at most.However, the venom of the Bungarus serpentis is extremely toxic. The dose that can ki
When the King of Han sneaked into the capital to persuade Li Jinglong to surrender, he used the incense prepared by Monk Qingyuan. Now, as if the world is reincarnated, the incense placed in the Wenlou this time will be the key to a surprise victory.The matter was hasty, and because there was only one night, the King of Han could not have known that the emperor had passed away. He must have entered the palace and the Wenlou without knowing anything, and then took two puffs of the incense, and the matter would be settled.For a moment, no one could imagine that it was possible for the King of Han to escape without knowing the inside story of the palace!However, dealing with someone like the King of Han was a big deal after all. Zhang's suggestion of blocking the four palace gates was still necessary. With two approaches, the King of Han would not be given any chance.There are four palace gates, including the Wenlou gate leading to the three main hall
