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
There were only a few trees in the courtyard, but there were birds chirping among them.Duan Xuehen buried her head, her right hand tightly covering her left wrist. She felt like a prisoner being interrogated, and was being made to confess some secrets. When her scars were seen just now, she not only felt very embarrassed, but also felt ashamed, vaguely like the last time when the mad Zhu Gaoxu saw the part of her that she didn't want to show to others."What's going on?" Zhu Gaoxu asked. There was no blame in his tone, but Duan Xuehen could hear the heartache and pity.She looked up and glanced at Zhu Gaoxu quickly, and saw that there seemed to be some worry in his eyes. She still didn't want to answer, so she kept silent. But she suddenly felt that in her heart, she might secretly hope that Zhu Gaoxu would carefully notice the scars. In this way, she could feel his sympathy besides the embarrassment.Zhu Gaoxu changed the question, "Who bit it?"
Zhang Sheng, who had been sent to Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, to present a gift to Ning Wang Zhu Quan, returned to Yunnan. The gift he presented was a play script that Du Qianrui had copied in person, in order to thank Ning Wang for writing the play for her.Zhang Sheng brought back two pieces of not-so-good news.Prince Ning accepted the script, but politely rejected Zhu Gaoxu's solicitation. This result was expected, and Zhu Gaoxu had not held much hope before. Prince Ning at this time was much smarter than the Prince Ning in Tang Bohu's era.As the sun climbed high in the morning, the temperature gradually rose, and the heat exacerbated Zhu Gaoxu's irritability.In the study, Zhang Sheng was recounting what he saw and heard in Prince Ning's mansion. "When I met Prince Ning, he was wearing a Taoist robe and discussing Taoism with Heavenly Master Zhang Yuchu in the alchemy room. I presented the play script copied by Madam Du herself. Before
Gu Cheng, Marquis of Zhenyuan, is ill and has been summoned to the capital to recuperate. He has a mansion in the capital and is now living in his own house.The Gu family had not lived in the capital for a long time, and the mansion looked desolate and dilapidated, but it was just right for Gu Cheng. The emperor sent a royal doctor and some servants to take care of his daily life and recuperate, so Gu Cheng was surrounded by people from the court.He understood that he was probably under house arrest.Gu Cheng, who is seventy-eight years old this year, has a relatively open mind about his own life and death; he doesn't care too much about being reduced to such a situation. But he was still very angry, and it was Zhang Fu who was angry!Zhang Fu speaks well in Yunnan and will definitely speak for Gu Cheng in court. But what did Zhang Fu say? He directly wrote in the memorial that the burning of the Guizhou Army's rations was very strange. It implies th
You can see gilded palace double eaves and colorful lacquer paintings everywhere. The moon-white pleated skirts of the palace ladies and the fly whisks in the hands of the eunuchs shuttle among them, which is very suitable for the scene.Zhang Fu walked out of Qianqing Gate along the road and followed the eunuch to continue walking south. He had nothing to say to the eunuch and was very silent along the way, still thinking about his own affairs.There are very few ministers coming here in the palace, and all they meet are palace people. When the eunuchs and maids see the Duke wearing an eight-beam crown, they will bow and avoid them, so Zhang Fu doesn't need to pay too much attention to them.He recalled what happened when the emperor first ascended the throne. At that time, he was very upright and escorted Qian Xun, the chief official of the Han Palace, who came to persuade him to surrender, back to the capital. Unexpectedly, the emperor and his ministers i
Mrs. Xu was always disliked by her mother's family, which made her father Xu Zhang unhappy. Her relatives don't have a good look on her.Aunt Xu was also a relative, but because she was married off, she didn't care so much about Madam Xu's affairs, and often said words of comfort. So whenever there is a chance, Mrs. Xu loves to come to her aunt's house. She came again yesterday...At the moment, Madam Xu is squatting behind a bookshelf and shivering. Her uncle He Fu had his back to the bookshelf before, but "General Chen" came in again and found her somehow!After hearing her uncle's order, "Don't you come out yet," Madam Xu finally stood up, buried her head and walked out of the bookshelf."It turns out it's you!" He Fu seemed to be slightly relieved, "Why are you hiding here?"Madam Xu was very scared, but after all, she had seen a lot of the world and spoke clearly. "With my aunt's permission, I went to the study to read and spend my time. Une
At the turn of summer and autumn, the sky in Yunnan is clear and bright.The bright sunshine shines on the Hanwang Mansion, and the colors of all things are particularly bright. The Chengyun Hall on the seven-foot platform is the largest building in the entire Yunnan Prefecture; the blue glazed tiles on the arched roof shine in the sun, the gold-rimmed hall and the white marble complement each other, and the lacquer paintings dotted in between are clearly colored.The burly eunuch Wang Gui stood on the pedestal of Chengyun Hall. He was waiting for the two envoys of Jiaozhi rebels below, watching them walk up step by step.The two sides exchanged greetings. Wang Gui took two steps forward and handed over the sealed document in his hand, "Please ask the envoy to take this letter back to Jiaozhi Province and give it to the leader Chen Jikuo."The emissary Chen Xianzhen took the document, looked through the lacquer seal, and asked, "Eunuch, can you tell me
A few days later, just as Zhu Gaoxu arrived at the parade ground, a torrential rain suddenly broke out in the sky, with lightning and thunder in the clouds. The heavy rain poured down on the earth dam like a bucket, and the splashing water mixed with the dust that had not yet settled, and it seemed as if a fog had suddenly appeared on the ground.Zhu Gaoxu's black hat and robe were soaked in an instant. He looked at the surrounding scene, the soldiers who were training kept their formation in the rain, without a trace of confusion. After all, most people here had experienced wars and encountered worse things on the battlefield, so a rain would not affect them.At this time, the eunuch Wang Gui rode his horse and rushed over here in the rain.Wang Gui reined in his horse, dismounted and ran to Zhu Gaoxu's horse, saying, "General Chen Dachui is back, he just arrived a while ago.""Go back!" Zhu Gaoxu immediately gave the order. He shook the reins, squeez
