Zhu Gaoxu left the Shen family's mansion and went to the pear garden near Caihaizi. He had already thought about the process in his mind, and there was no difference in doing it. Only the rain from the sky was lighter, but compared to the violent storm, the pattering rain made people feel more continuous.
He had been to Liyuan many times, and when he came here again after a year, he felt that nothing had changed, but there seemed to be something different. Maybe it's because his mood is different?
Zhu Gaoxu came to the house next to the pond. When he opened the back door, he could see the pond, willow trees and most of the garden.
He had no intention of fiddling with the Kung Fu tea utensils on the marble coffee table; he was in a very restless mood at the moment.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door. Zhu Gaoxu said, "The door is closed."
Then the wooden door was pushed open. Li Lou stood at the door first, k
In an empty restaurant, the most lacking items are bedding and clothing. Even so, Zhu Gaoxu and others felt much better than the days of sleeping and sleeping on the road.Zhu Gaoxu returned here from Liyuan and stayed for two more days. He knew they couldn't live in this place for long. But when he returns to the Han Palace and discloses his whereabouts, Zhu Gaoxu feels that he still needs an opportunity.On the third day, Wang Bin and his companions also returned here, bringing another carriage. As soon as the gate was closed, Hu Guang, who was tied up and had a cloth ball stuffed in his mouth, was pulled out.When Hu Guang saw Zhu Gaoxu standing in the yard, his eyes suddenly widened, his body stopped struggling and became quiet. For a moment, a look of despair seemed to pass across his face."Hu Gechen, how are you?" Zhu Gaoxu said with a fist salute."Woo woo woo!" Hu Guang made an unclear sound. As the chief minister of the cabinet, he felt
There seems to be nothing unusual in Yunnan City. The city gates are not under guard and all government offices are operating as usual.Those who are more or less aware of the movements in the capital have not acted rashly at this time; they are like insects that have been lurking in autumn and winter, only waiting for the hot summer season to sing together.There are quite a few people traveling around Yunnan quietly and lightly.Three days later, another person came to Mu Mansion. Mu Sheng had met this person, he was a messenger; the messenger was not important, what was important was the "friend" who sent the messenger.A few years ago, Mu Mansion experienced a big storm, which was the time when Hu Hui came to Yunnan to find out the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen. Mu Sheng was eager to know what was going on in the DPRK, so the "good friend" in the DPRK sent someone to report the situation; this time, the person sent by the "good friend" was the sam
It was slightly dark beside the hall, and the eunuch Wang Gui's body blocked some of the bright sunlight outside the door. Zhu Gaoxu glanced and nodded, and Wang Gui walked in with a bent waist and bowed, "Your Majesty, Chen Dachui has returned to the palace and is outside asking to see Your Majesty.""Let him in." Zhu Gaoxu said immediately."As you command."At this time, Zhu Gaoxu asked again, "Did Chen Dachui come back alone?"Wang Gui turned around and hugged the whisk with both hands, and answered confidently, "Yes, he returned home alone and just arrived."After a while, Chen Dachui entered from the main gate of the front hall and strode towards this side.He walked straight to the steps of the throne, knelt on one knee and said, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty. On the day Your Majesty brought the prisoners back to the capital, I went to...that place for some business. When I came back, everyone had left the old palace. I asked th
The city wall covered with rammed earth and bricks surrounds Yunnan Fucheng, like a jar of pickled vegetables. Everything is put in, and it ferments quietly. Will it go rancid and smelly, or will it turn into a delicacy with just the right taste? There are some things that Zhu Gaoxu can control, but there are others that he cannot control, and can only feel the transformation of everything uneasily.Before the "matchmaker" Xue Yan arrived with the imperial edict, Zhu Gaoxu met Chen Dachui again. On the first day Chen Dachui returned to the palace, he forgot to present something; he remembered it when he got home, and came to the Han Palace the next day to pay a visit. Chen Dachui continued with what he said last time and talked about some news that seemed not so important.It is difficult to tell the season in Yunnan by the amount of clothes you wear. When it is rainy, it feels like autumn or winter; when it is sunny for a few days, although it is not very hot, yo
The sky had been clear for several days, and now it was clear and peaceful, with no sign of rain. Occasionally, a bird with a snow-white belly flew across the sky, and the huge Han Palace was unusually peaceful.The sky was clear and Zhu Gaoxu stood at the door of the study, but in his hallucination he seemed to see lightning in the sky and hear thunder in the sky.He thought: On a rainy day, the thunder of the natural discharge will be delayed, and it will take a while before you can hear it...Perhaps many things are like this, the wider and more complicated the matter is, the more obvious the delay in the effect will be? And there is no regret, just like the lightning in the clouds, the thunder may be late, but it will definitely be heard!It is like steering a large ship. After turning the rudder, the ship has to turn slowly. The direction is also difficult to adjust in time. If you steer the ship only after discovering a reef, it may be too late.
Two days later, heavy fog suddenly fell in Fucheng, Yunnan. Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the Chengyun Gate and walked on the wide brick floor. His eyes were so white that he couldn't even see the front hall in the distance. He felt a little weird in his heart, but he was very sure: as long as he kept walking forward, the front hall, Chengyun Hall, would definitely appear.Sure enough, the majestic silhouette of Chengyun Hall appeared in the mist. Zhu Gaoxu went straight to the study and saw the eunuch Wang Gui and a strange man waiting at the door. Upon asking, it turned out to be a servant sent by Mu Sheng.Zhu Gaoxu took the letter presented by the servant, tore it open and saw a few short words written on it: If the King of Han is free, can we meet in private today? How was the place where we met last time?After reading it, Zhu Gaoxu immediately said to the servant who delivered the letter without hesitation, "Go back and tell your master in half an hour."
On the official road outside the Qujing Military and Civilian Government, pedestrians left the road and watched. The army, lined up like a long dragon, occupied the official road. The orderly footsteps of different rhythms from far and near echoed with the hooves of horses running on the roadside. Countless wide-brimmed iron helmets shone faintly in the sun and swayed everywhere. It was a huge scene.The official road passed outside the city gate. Many soldiers from the military and civilian government on the city wall were also watching and saw that the vanguard of the troops on the road was already heading towards the city gate.The Ming army's helmets and clothes were all similar, and it was impossible to tell where they were from just by looking at the soldiers. However, the flags of this group of people had the words "Ma", "Ming", "Yuezhou Guard Commander" and so on written on them, and the officials on the city wall had already figured out that they were sol
In the courtyard east of the study in the front hall, the lush peach and plum trees rustled in the wind. The sky was cloudy and bright, making it difficult to tell whether it was morning or afternoon. However, Zhu Gaoxu had been here the whole morning, so he knew it was afternoon.He barely slept last night, so he took a nap in a corridor room this afternoon. When he woke up, he wanted to eat again, so Du Qianrui went to the kitchen and cooked a table of dishes for him.Dishes were delivered to the corridor room one after another, gradually filling up the desk. This room was certainly not a dining room, but Zhu Gaoxu was in the Han Palace, and he could do whatever he wanted and eat wherever he wanted, without any reason.There were dozens of small plates of golden thread fish meat and dishes stacked together. Golden thread fish was something Zhu Gaoxu liked to eat after he became a vassal, because he had never eaten it anywhere else before. The meat was part
