Chapter 440: The army is undefeated
The plum rain season has not yet arrived, and a continuous light rain fell in the capital. Not two days after Xue Lu submitted the memorial, he was summoned by the Holy One to face the Holy One in Dongnuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace. It was still raining at this time.
In the great battles that took place in the three southwestern provinces in the past few months, the imperial army undoubtedly failed miserably. But when Xue Lu saw the emperor Zhu Gaochi, he did not see a look of embarrassment or anger on the emperor's face, let alone any anxiety or panic.
Of course, he didn't look happy at all.
When Zhu Gaochi met Xue Lu, he actually told a story first, "This matter was told by Gao Xu to me when the three brothers were in the capital together. I thought it was very interesting. After hearing this, Marquis Yangwu let it go It’s ready in the stomach.”
He didn't wait for Xue Lu to reply, "I'm all ears," and so on, and immediately started talking again, "I

Zhu Gaochi looked around and saw that the ministers had no intention of talking, so he waved his hand and said, "After discussing the matter of the imperial report with Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong, come back to see me."The ministers all bowed and said, "We thank you and take our leave."Zhu Gaochi turned to Hou Hai and said, "It's getting late. Call Huang Zhong in and ask everyone else to go back. We can discuss this another day."Hai Tao said, "I obey your command."The person who delivered the memorial to Zhang Fu was not an ordinary official, but Huang Zhong, the left deputy general of Jiaozhi Army. When Zhu Gaochi learned about this, he wanted to meet him no matter what.After a while, Huang Zhong came in, prostrated himself and kowtowed, with great respect.Zhu Gaochi called him up and asked, "Duke Yingguo sent you to Beijing for something else?""Your humble servant..." Huang Zhong glanced at Hai Tao standing next to him. Zhu Gaoc

The next day at noon, the eunuch Hai Tao walked straight into Kunning Palace. The eunuchs and palace maids on duty all knew him, and no one tried to stop him.As early as when Zhu Gaochi was the Prince of Yan, Hai Tao was in the Prince's Mansion. He could not be a remnant of Jianwen, nor could he defect to Gao Xu or Gao Sui. Therefore, Hai Tao is now the most trusted eunuch of the Emperor and Empress.When Zhang saw him coming in, she first asked a few questions about Zhu Zhanji's study in the back hall of Wenhua Palace. Soon she asked the servants around him to leave.Hai Tao then started talking about business. He whispered, "Your Majesty, the new maid favored by the Emperor is from Concubine Zhang's palace, named Nightingale. The Emperor likes her and ordered her to accompany him day and night. When the Emperor went to the East Warm Pavilion to review memorials, he still asked Nightingale to accompany him. In the morning, the Emperor secretly summoned the

The palace was very quiet near noon, but not deserted at all. The area around Kunning Palace was filled with palace servants on duty.Empress Zhang sat in front of a dressing table in Kunning Palace, turning her neck slightly and looking at her face in the bronze mirror. She felt that she had lost some weight in the past few days.Anxiety filled her heart. She was very regretful, doing the wrong things and saying the wrong things, but she could never make it back.Is His Majesty already suspicious of her? How will he deal with her? Support the people of the Duke of Ying, reuse Zhang Fu, and then find a way to depose her as the Queen? !Thinking of this, Zhang felt very angry!She was the first wife of the emperor, and had helped him wholeheartedly for so many years, bearing him children. Why did all those years of love and affection turn into this? Could it be that half a lifetime of companionship was not as good as a young lady whom he had only
Game of the Throne Chapter 444: Don't Be Afraid of Louse
In late spring, the vegetation in Chengdu is very lush. The ancient government office is like a garden.Deep in the shade of the trees, the air was filled with the smell of burning incense. Xiping Hou Mu Sheng was sitting on a futon on a stone bench, looking at the chessboard on the stone table in front of him. Opposite the stone table sat a young woman with a slightly bulging belly.At this time, a middle-aged man in a cloth robe came over, leaned over and whispered in Mu Sheng's ear, "General Xu is here, with guests.""Please come in, General Xu." Mu Sheng ordered. He then raised his head and looked at the maid holding a wooden tray opposite him, "Madam Fushayi, please go into the room and rest for a while. Be careful."After hearing this, the Yi tribe girl Shayi stood up tactfully, knelt down and said, "I'll take my leave."Not long after, Xu Tao, the left deputy general of the Mu Sheng army, walked in alone. He clasped his fists and saluted,
Game of the Throne Chapter 445: Meeting a Mighty Match
In the garden of the Han Palace, after a light rain, water drops remained on the petals and leaves, and pear blossoms sprinkled all over the brick floor. It was like Princess Guo Wei, pear blossoms in the rain. No matter how Zhu Gaoxu comforted her, he couldn't make her happy immediately.The whole family of Guo was convicted, and Guo Wei's father was sentenced to death! Zhu Gaoxu wanted to help her on the premise that she had to win the war and return to the capital; but this premise was still hanging in the balance. However, Zhu Gaoxu felt that if he could not succeed, it would be meaningless to worry about Guo Ming's family, after all, everyone would be finished.The only thing Zhu Gaoxu could do was to spend more time with Guo Wei during these days.A few days later, the eunuch Wang Gui hurriedly walked into the garden behind the front palace. Zhu Gaoxu waved and asked Wang Gui to come over. Wang Gui saw that there were a group of eunuchs and palace maid

Xu Tao then presented the letter brought by Zhang He, the content of which was written by the Minister of Justice Lu Zhen and signed by him.When Zhang Hearing Zhu Gaoxu mention the word "and others", he bowed and said, "That's exactly what Lü Bu Tang meant."Zhu Gaoxu put down the letter and said directly, "I am willing to make a deal for this matter. However, if you want to exchange Guo Zi, you must send all the families of Sheng Yong and Ping An in addition to Qian Xun, the left chief of the Han Palace."Zhang He showed no surprise at Zhu Gaoxu's huge request.When the court was embarking on this transaction, the officials may have had an idea in their minds: Chief Clerk Qian Xun and Minister of Revenue Guo Zi were not at the same level at all, so it was reasonable to add the words "and others"; and it was possible to guess which people Zhu Gaoxu needed.Zhang He quickly replied, "The King of Han wants too many people. Only one family can be c

Several people in the study room in the front hall said goodbye, but Zhu Gaoxu called Mr. Li and pointed to the official documents and reports piled on the table, "From now on, these things should be reviewed by the Chief Secretary's Office first, and the important ones should be picked out, sorted, and then sent here."Mr. Li bowed and said, "As you command, Your Majesty."In the past, it was very easy for Zhu Gaoxu to be a prince. He could do nothing and would not affect the operation of anything. But things are different now. The Han Palace actually controls three provinces and is at war. There are so many official documents that Zhu Gaoxu can't read them at all.This is probably why those emperors had to delegate power to bureaucrats, right? Of course, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was an exception. It is said that when he was sixty or seventy years old, he personally read every memorial every day. He knew best the difficulties of starting a business and com
Game of the Throne Chapter 448: Drinking poison to quench thirst
Zhu Gaoxu seemed to have returned to the days when he was first granted the title of Duke of Yunnan: when the weather was good, he would go out for a walk, then return to the palace, and his life was mostly the same. But it seemed very different, probably because his mood was different.Back then, he had no control over many things and had to rely on the attitudes of his father and the court, but he didn't have as many worries. But now, it's the opposite.Zhu Gaoxu left the parade ground and returned to the study in the front hall. He was used to working here, and many things were placed in convenient places.Walking in through the carved wooden door, there is a mahogany rectangular desk in the middle, with a chair with a futon behind it. In front of the desk are some waist-shaped stools of different heights and a round table.There is a row of wooden windows with light grey gauze curtains on the east side, facing the corridor and patio, where you can
