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
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
Zhang He hurried back to the capital, entered the imperial city, and went to the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace to meet the Holy Spirit. He had a secret conversation with the emperor for a while. It was already dark when he came out, so he had to leave the imperial city in a hanging basket. The emperor sternly ordered Zhang He to keep the matter secret except for his father-in-law, Lu Zhen, the Minister of Punishment.The captured Guo Zi confessed that the late emperor died of poisoning? !Zhu Gaochi was irritable and worried, and did not sleep well all night. Last year, Emperor Taizong was poisoned by the pool in Chunhe Hall. There are only two kinds of people who know about it: one is dead, and the other is the emperor's confidant.Such a serious matter, the news cannot be leaked! Unless it comes from Guo Zi's mouth. Zhang He said that the King of Han only learned about the poisoning of the late emperor from Guo Zi's mouth, and the rest of the matte
The scenery at the end of April is just as described by Li Qingzhao: “green is fat and red is thin”.The only scenery that Ma Enhui could see while imprisoned in Fengyang was a few trees in the yard and the weeds in the corners. The branches and leaves on the treetops were already lush and dense, full of vitality.The people that Ma Enhui usually saw were the mute old palace maid who brought her meals, the old eunuch who could hardly hear and did odd jobs like cleaning the yard, and the eunuch doorman who guarded the yard. She could also occasionally see the eunuch Wu Zhong.As a trusted eunuch of Emperor Jianwen, Wu Zhong should have been executed long ago. But Wu Zhong had a adopted son named Huang Gou, who worked in the Hanwang Palace at the beginning of Yongle and found some ways to save Wu Zhong's life. After that period, no one in the upper eunuchs remembered Wu Zhong, a eunuch and a slave.Although both were guarding the mausoleum, Ma Enhui was
In May, everything in Yunnan is full of vitality, and the weather is very warm as long as it is clear.In the Han Palace, Zhu Gaoxu came to the study room in the front hall early in the morning. There were civil officials such as Mr. Li and Hou Hai, as well as generals such as Sheng Yong, Ping An, and Wang Bin on his left and right.The eunuch Wang Gui came in with two puppies, one was a pure white pug with flat ears and big round eyes, and the other was a pure yellow native dog. When the civil and military officials saw this, some said that the King of Han was in a good mood, and everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.Soon, Guo Wei led the four-year-old Zhan He to the door. Everyone looked at them and saluted Princess Guo Wei.Someone must have taught Zhan He beforehand. He walked into the room, clenched his fists with his little hands in a decent manner, and said in a childish voice, "My son, I pay homage to my father
In late May, Mr. Li, Sheng Yong and Ping An jointly wrote a strategy. Zhu Gaoxu took a general look at it and thought it made sense, so he immediately summoned several of his trusted civil and military officials to discuss it.The time was not quite right. When Mr. Li delivered the files, it was almost evening. When everyone arrived at the study room in the front hall, the sun had just set. But this was the quietest time of the day.Yunnan is lush with vegetation in summer, and the most special thing is that there are many insects and birds. During the day, various birds chirp, and at night, insects come out to join in the fun. Even in the Han Palace, you can hear frogs croaking from time to time.Only during the brief period from sunset to nightfall, the chirping of birds and the chirping of insects miraculously cease, and the world becomes unusually peaceful.When Zhu Gaoxu walked outside the study in the front hall, he saw that soldiers were standin
The Jiaozhi rebel envoy and his party finally arrived at Kunming City, and they will enter the city from the east gate. Zhu Gaoxu, dressed in cloth, stood on the city tower and saw the group of people on the official road in the distance, some riding horses and some sitting in cars.Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to greet them at the city gate, so he didn't identify himself in civilian clothes. He just happened to come here to take a look. The morning sun was right in front of his face, and he squinted his eyes to see the approximate number of those people.Next to him stood Duan Xuehen in Tsing Yi, with a big hat covering most of her face. Zhu Gaoxu turned to look at her. He was tall and looked down at Duan Xuehen, so he could only see her mouth and chin.The lips are slightly thick, the chin is slightly pointed, fair and delicate. After the big hat covered the rest of her face, only her mouth and chin could be seen; Zhu Gaoxu felt even more that she looked exactly
