Chapter 413: Darkness Under the Lamp
Last Updated:
2024-08-03 14:45:29West of the imperial city in the capital, the mansion bestowed by the late emperor on the famous scholar Gao Xianning was empty. His parents, wife and children were all in his hometown in Shandong, and he usually slept alone at night.
Gao Xianning put down the book in his hand, picked up the small iron hook on the table, and gently moved the wick in the oil lamp, and the room suddenly became slightly brighter.
He did not feel lonely, as the sages said that a gentleman should be cautious when alone, and Gao Xianning had long been accustomed to such a scene. He had studied hard for the imperial examinations and had experienced countless nights like this.
However, he did not continue to read the book, but looked at the oil lamp with interest. The lamp was like a bowl, with light on the table, but it was dark under the bowl; on the whole table, the area under the bowl, closest to the wick, was the darkest place.
This shadow reminded him of the scene early

People have various identities in the world. Even if Zhang is the queen of the world, she is still a wife and mother. So now she is holding a spoon, adding seasonings to the casserole, and stewing a pot of yam and pork ribs, acting like a clever woman in the family.When Zhang was not married, she was already skilled at doing various household chores. This was because her natal family was not very wealthy and could not afford to support a large number of people. Zhang doesn't know how to cook exquisite dishes, but only some home-cooked dishes, but they are completely sufficient. What delicacies from the mountains and seas have not been eaten by the royal nobles? It doesn't matter what she cooks, her heart is the most important thing, not to mention the home-cooked dishes she cooks are quite delicious.At that time, Zhang was the eldest concubine in Prince Yan's Mansion and the Crown Princess in the Imperial Palace. It was precisely because of her extraordinary coo

That afternoon, Xu Huizu, He Fu, and Wu Gao sat together again in the Five Military Commandery. Xu Huizu said straight to the point, "The emperor has issued an order to summon me to the palace tomorrow morning to participate in the military affairs. It is still unclear what strategy the court will adopt; but once my strategy is adopted, I will immediately recommend a general to the emperor to lead the Guizhou battlefield."He Fu and Wu Gao bowed to Xu Huizu together but did not speak for the time being.Xu Huizu's gaze moved back and forth between the two of them, and finally stopped on He Fu's face, as if waiting for He Fu to express his opinion.He Fu frowned and said in a deep voice, "Wei Guogong, I have hesitated for a while, but I still want to tell you that little thing... I am afraid that others will impeach you first, and you are still in the dark, and you are caught off guard. Passive. Instead of doing this, it is better to tell Wei Guogong first."

Everyone was holding umbrellas, but their boots and the hems of their robes were inevitably wet from the rain, and the brick floor at the entrance to Fengtianmen was damp.Many people came this morning, including civil officials and military generals. The most surprising thing is that the official positions vary greatly, there are dukes, ministers, and seventh-rank officials like Geng Tong... However, if you pay a little attention, you will find that many people with high official positions are not here, and the people present have little to do with the level of their official positions.These people are the trusted civil and military officials selected by the Hongxi court.The Minister of War Jin Zhong took a quick look and could roughly understand that there were probably four types of people among them.The first group was the trusted advisers of the old Yan Wang Mansion, including Jin Zhong, Yuan Gong, and Lu Zhen; including Yao Guangxiao who did n

In the middle of the twelfth month, it was already the twelfth day since the Han army set out from Chengdu, and the army entered the territory of Chongqing Prefecture. It was said that they would reach Chongqing Prefecture City by the evening of the next day.Tonight the army camped near a market called "Bashang", and the central military headquarters was set up inside the market.It is difficult for it to snow in Chongqing in winter, but it is extremely damp and cold. The fog sometimes does not disappear completely all day long, and the air is always foggy.As usual, Miaojin was wearing a dark gray coarse preaching robe and a curtain hat on her head. She followed the army on horseback and was gathering at the "Bashang" on the hillside.However, most of the sergeants did not have horses, so they walked more than 600 miles. They walked neither too fast nor too slowly, with neat steps. Most of them inhaled through their noses and swallowed through their

In the evening of the next day, Zhu Gaoxu's 23 infantry and cavalry guards, totaling about 120,000 people, arrived at Chongqing City.However, the army did not enter the city, but camped between the villages in the southwest; this was because the Han army would not stay in Chongqing for too long, and the river ferry was in the southwest.The city is like a peninsula, located at the confluence of two rivers, surrounded by water on three sides, and surrounded by the Dajiang River and the Jialing River. Zhu Gaoxu ordered the governors and guards to set up camp, and he led his men into the city to meet the vanguard Qu Neng. Qu Neng came out of the city to greet them and led Zhu Gaoxu and others to the vicinity of the East Water Gate.Qu Neng's vanguard army had more than 60,000 troops, almost twice the number of Mu Sheng's troops stationed in Chengdu.Although Mu Sheng's troops were responsible for guarding the rich western Sichuan plain and managing the d

Yunnan Provincial Administration. In the southern part of Mengzi County, Lin'an Prefecture, the road stretched along the hillside. Looking back, people could not see towering mountains, but extremely wide and long gentle slopes undulating between heaven and earth. The surroundings were barren, with only weeds and gravel in sight. Except for the endless military food carts, there was no sign of human habitation.Suddenly, a loud shout came from the hillside, "Enemy cavalry is attacking!"There was an uproar in the convoy. On the top of the hill in the distance to the west, a group of people on horseback really came over the hill and appeared in people's sight. The sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded, and the horse teams rushed straight towards them!"Prepare for battle!" the government army generals shouted hoarsely.On the long snake-like road, the soldiers following the grain carts shouted in unison to boost their morale!"Rumble, rumble, rum

The setting sun gradually fell towards the west mountain, and Kunming City alternated between light and darkness, with the rich color of light covering the ancient city walls. Large smog still filled the air, and the sound of cannons could still be heard sporadically, but the attacking troops had gradually withdrawn to the distance and returned to the siege works.Today, Kunming City's defenses were no longer in danger, so Sheng Yong left the city wall. He walked to the Duanli Gate of the Han Palace, patted the dust off his body, took off his helmet and held it in his arms, and walked into the gatehouse.The huge Han Palace seemed empty. The Han family and palace maids had already left, so it was probably time to go to Dali City.According to the original strategic deployment, once the enemy captured the Qujing Military and Civilian Mansion, the Han Palace, the Mu Palace and the families of the generals and soldiers would retreat to Dali Prefecture... Later,

The sky gradually darkened and the lights came on. Gao Xu held Miao Jin's hand and followed the crowd into the concert hall.People were all dressed up, especially women, who were all dressed up. Some wore traditional clothes such as ruqun or aoqun, while others were dressed in modern fashion. Each figure seemed to be wandering between the classical and the modern.Among them there are many foreigners, probably all of whom came to Taicang to attend international conferences.In terms of fun, people might prefer to watch a movie rather than enjoy such pure music. However, there were still many listeners tonight, and the auditorium gradually filled up.Perhaps some of them value the rarity of concerts and do not attend them often, while others simply value their style.Gao Xu's main happiness comes from Miao Jin's company. Imagine if he came alone or with someone unrelated, his feelings would be much worse. He is willing to be with Miao Jin and exp

There were long commercials playing on TV, but no one changed the channel.Miao Jin was doing chores and preparing ingredients for lunch. Gao Xu began to check his various instruments, which were all measuring tools he had collected a while ago.There is a ray detector, which, according to the manual, can detect radiation, including ultraviolet light, laser and other electromagnetic waves. There is a torsion balance experimental device, which can measure the gravitational constant. And an air measuring instrument.There were also some uncommon small devices. In short, except for the large instruments that were difficult to carry, he tried his best to buy all the instruments that could test general constants.Miao Jin would occasionally look over here curiously, but before she asked, she might have guessed what Gao Xu was going to do.Gao Xu would tell her clearly as long as she asked. Because when he was going to look for the cave in Huangshan, h

Gao Xu usually doesn't like watching TV. But today, when Miao Jin was watching TV in the living room, he was gradually attracted by the TV program, so he stopped what he was doing and sat next to Miao Jin.There was a studio on the TV screen, with two hosts, a man and a woman, talking about the animation "Zootopia" like a crosstalk. It was neither news nor entertainment, but a show that mocked reality.Miao Jin saw Gao Xu sitting over and said, "This TV station should be more inclined to the left-wing viewpoint."Gao Xu asked, "Why haven't I heard of the distinction between left and right wings?"Miao Jin said, "It is originally an imported product. That is how foreigners describe Ming Dynasty politics. There is no clear distinction between left and right in China. So we generally don't use such words. It is normal that we don't hear them normally."She glanced at Gao Xu and continued, "This classification first appeared in the parliament during

Gao Xu's drama project has less than half the investment of the animation project, with a total investment of about 40 million yen for 15 episodes; the profit expectations are also completely incomparable to those of animated films. As Wang Siqi and most people believe, the fastest way to make money is still the movie box office.But Gao Xu has invested more energy in costume dramas.The crew built a filming site in the Western Regions. From 509 to the first half of 510, a production period of less than a year, Gao Xu flew twice to personally observe the filming site. His subordinate Sun Jing also stayed in the Western Regions for a long time, passing various information back to Taicang.A large media company in Taicang has signed an exclusive premiere agreement with Dream Incubation Studio.The terms are a bit complicated, but the key is to adopt a cooperation model with floating copyright fees.

The glass window on the outer wall is located in the east direction, so the sunlight cannot enter the studio in the afternoon. Therefore, Gao Xu often has a slight illusion that it seems to be later than the actual time.At this moment, the phone in his coat pocket rang. Gao Xu's phone rarely received calls because he had set the Do Not Disturb function, so no calls could be received from numbers that were not saved. He took it out and saw that it was a person who he did not contact often but had saved the number a long time ago, Sun Jing.Gao Xu stood up from his desk, walked to the corner by the glass window, glanced at Wang Cheng not far away, and answered the phone.Sun Jing's voice asked, "Are you still busy with work?"Gao Xu said, "Yes, I am working on two projects at the same time, so I am a little busy. How is Mr. Sun doing recently?"Sun Jing, "Very boring. I don't have to go to work, but I've been idle for so long that I feel like I'm

This was the second time Gao Xu and Xiao Yu had a meal together. Last time they were at the company cafeteria, and today they were at a roadside fast food restaurant.After finishing work at the agency, Gao Xu drove off the main road and found a parking space. Then he randomly found a restaurant where he could eat and walked in with Xiao Yu.It was very lively inside, with all kinds of customers, including well-dressed office workers and some homely citizens, men, women, young and old, making a big noise in the room, mixed with the loud shouts of the shop assistants passing on information. Although the air conditioner was on, the shop was open and there were many people, so it was still very hot inside.There were several dishes to choose from, all of which were simple and convenient. Gao Xu and Xiao Yu gave up on the braised pork intestines with radish, and roast duck was too greasy, so they chose roast chicken.The roasted chicken skin was cut into p

After many twists and turns, Gao Xu finally contacted the director named Ma Xuan.Ma Xuan has an account on the Internet where he posts some career news. Gao Xu's assistant Yu Ni left messages and sent messages, but it took several days for her to get a response. Gao Xu came to the hall and looked through the information records on Yu Ni's computer."He doesn't seem very proactive." Yu Ni said.Gao Xu said , "You claim to be the assistant of the investor of "Dream Seekers", but he may not believe you. If our studio also has such a certified account, it may save some trouble."At this time, Shidai Heng walked by and greeted him, "Mr. Liu."Gao Xu nodded and said, "We are trying to contact Ma Xuan, the director you recommended."Dai Heng came over and said, "He should have received a lot of similar messages. And there is indeed some false information on the Internet. For the purpose of advertising, people may lie about their identities, which

The people who work here, including Dai Heng who has only been here a few days, seem to have gotten used to the environment.The studio was in good condition. The morning sun shone in through the French windows, and the room was clean and tidy. In addition to the solid wood desk and bookshelf, and a full range of domestic electrical appliances (Made in China products are more expensive), there were also comfortable leather chairs.Gao Xu was in Xiao Deng's office at the moment, sitting on one of the leather chairs, holding a tablet and reading the text he had just copied from Xiao Deng's computer. Of course, he couldn't help but listen to the sound of her keyboard at the same time.He put down the tablet, picked up the cup next to him, and found it was empty. So he stood up and walked to the water dispenser, filled up half a cup of hot water, then took a tea bag and put it in the cup to soak for more than ten seconds, then took it out and put it next to him.

The next screenwriter who came to the studio for an interview was named Dai Heng, who should be a relatively unknown person.Gao Xu looked out from the glass wall and when he saw Dai Heng, he immediately guessed that this person was probably not married yet. Dai Heng was wearing a brand new suit, a white shirt with a small cross collar, and a pair of casual leather shoes that didn't match. The most unpleasant thing about Dai Heng was his long hair, but unlike the image of Ekin Cheng, Gao Xu felt at first glance that Dai Heng was not suitable for that hairstyle. Some hairstyles look good, but they are picky about the face.But these are not problems. Now that the people have arrived, Gao Xu needs to get to know them a little bit.Gao Xu pressed the phone on the desk, "Xiao Yu, ask him to come to the office to meet.""Okay." Xiao Yu said into the phone outside, his voice coming from the desk inside.Dai Heng came in from the door with a bag on his
