Chapter 502: Pass it on
In early September, it rained in Zhili. After the autumn rain, the weather turned cooler and the capital city already had a bit of the atmosphere of early winter.
There is a gatehouse between the red walls to the west of Kunning Palace; after passing the gatehouse, the outside is the West Six Palaces. The current emperor has just ascended the throne and has not appointed many concubines, and the concubines of the former Emperor Taizong have also moved away, so some courtyards of the West Six Palaces have been vacated.
Because Empress Zhang believed in Buddhism, the eunuchs in the palace chose one of the courtyards in the six western palaces and turned it into a Buddhist temple.
Most of the people gathered around the queen's sedan chair were palace maids and female officials. The rest included a few junior eunuchs and two eunuchs: one was Hai Tao and the other was Yang Qing.
The sedan stopped at the entrance hall outside the temple courtyard. Yang Qing

Hai Tao and his group came out of the courtyard and went their separate ways. The Jinyiwei soldiers returned to the Meridian Gate to take up their duties, while Hai Tao and an eunuch continued to move forward. The brick and stone streets between the courtyards of the various prisons were gleaming with the sheen of accumulated water.The rain was not heavy, but both eunuchs were holding umbrellas. Haitao's umbrella was pulled down very low, covering his upper body very tightly, so that the eunuchs who occasionally passed by on the road could not see his face. However, the hem of his robe was completely wet by the splashed water.They came to the Imperial Stables to look for Wang Jinghong.Since the Yongle Dynasty, the Silijian has been in charge of the personnel of all the eunuchs in the twelve palaces, four departments, and eight bureaus, becoming the most powerful eunuch office. In the past, Zheng He, Wang Jinghong, Hou Xian and others were all eunuchs in t

King Zhao rebelled?!In mid-September, outside the desolate Hongwu Gate, a piece of news came like a bolt from the blue!Tan Qing, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, first informed the eunuchs guarding the Meridian Gate and asked them to go to the palace immediately to tell Hai Tao, the eunuch of the Imperial Household Department; then Tan Qing took Yang Yong, a general of the Northern Pacification Division, and a group of people and hurried to the Hongwu Gate.This late autumn seems destined to be an eventful one.When Tan Qing arrived at Hongwu Gate, he saw that the soldiers on duty had surrounded three strangers. One of them was a middle-aged man with rough skin, his hair tied up with a dirty cloth, and he was wearing a dusty cloth. The other was a young man about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a boy of several years old beside him. All three of them were covered in dust and looked like they had walked a long way.The soldie

The eunuch Hai Tao from the Imperial Household Department delivered the imperial edict and led the Minister of the Supreme Court Xue Yan to the palace.The spacious brick floor between the majestic palaces of the imperial city was very dry. It had been cloudy recently, and it hadn't rained for a few days; Haitao couldn't help but think of the rain when Zheng He died more than half a month ago.Xue Yan was tall, handsome, and had a good complexion. He had served as an envoy during the reigns of Jianwen and Yongle, and envoys were selected for their appearance. Xue Yan was also quite talented in criminal law, or at least had a lot of experience. He had been doing this since the reign of Hongwu and had served three emperors.Because of this, Haitao was in a state of anxiety. Yang Qing, who was on the list of treasoners, was not only promoted by Haitao to the Imperial Household Department, but Haitao did accept money from him, more than once! Haitao also asked Y

The study room of the jade shop was filled with a dusty and old smell.Yang Yong of Jinyiwei is short in stature but good-looking. His features are regular and his face is very fair. With an expression of admiration, he bowed, "Sir, you have a wonderful plan. From now on, I will worship the Prime Minister in court!"Gao Xianning immediately shook his head and said, "General Yang has informed me of so many things, so I can only speculate and make wild guesses. How can I make a good plan?"Gao Xianning was not very interested in being a prime minister, because there was no prime minister in the Ming Dynasty. If his teacher Qi Tai was not with the King of Han, and the King of Han treated him with both soft and hard tactics, threats and favors, Gao Xianning would not have wanted to come out again... At that time, it seemed that Gao Xianning came to serve as an official because of Ji Gang's orders. He found him out; secretly, he still wanted to do it for the sake
Game of the Throne Chapter 507: The Emperor’s Enormous Grace
The capital was far from finding out the truth about the rebellion of the Prince of Zhao, but Xue Yan, the Minister of Justice, proposed a "false accusation". Emperor Zhu Gaochi immediately seized on this theory and sent the chief minister Hu Guang to appease Gao Sui.Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to care too much at the moment, and he couldn't clear out various forces on a large scale; at this critical juncture of a decisive battle that affected the fate of the country, Zhu Gaochi only wanted to maintain the temporary stability of all parties, in order to devote as much power of the court as possible to this battle!The emperor not only sent an envoy to appease King Zhao, but also instructed Duke of Wei Xu Huizu to write a letter to He Fu himself, asking He Fu to put the overall situation first and that as long as he made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, he would be treated fairly after the war.At the same time, the court sent eunuchs to Changsha Pre

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the undulating waves of the Yuan River, glittering with light. At this time, about 70,000 soldiers of Qu Neng's army had set up camps in various places. According to the military order issued two days ago, the generals of various units came to the central army headquarters one after another to discuss matters.The general of the scout camp standing on one side of the case had not yet understood the changes in the military situation. He was explaining the terrain ahead to the generals around him.The general pointed to the map on the table and said, "From Chenxi County to Xupu County, this section of the road is not difficult to travel. As long as our army moves eastward along the Yuan River, we can reach Xupu County in three days. But if we continue eastward, we will enter the mountainous area at the northern foot of Meishan Mountain. There is no official road to take, so we can only take the small path in the valley.

A large number of navy warships gathered on the river banks of Changsha Prefecture and Tanzhou Prefecture. Looking from the shore, it seemed as if a floating city had been built out of thin air on the water.The armies of Xue Lu, Tan Zhong, and Chen Mao, totaling 200,000 infantry and cavalry, will soon arrive near Changsha and Tanzhou; these warships are preparing to transport soldiers from various units to the west bank of the Xiangjiang River.At this time, Zhang Fu received a report from the civil servant of the Central Army Headquarters. After reading it, he said, "Prince Min is leading more than 6,000 people to Changsha Prefecture."Immediately, a general began to complain, "Won't King Min's arrival at this time delay the army's crossing of the river?"Zhang Fu was also unhappy, but he did not say it out loud. He only said, "Arrange some ships to transport a group of soldiers to the west bank, and then send King Min's troops over."The vassa

When Duke Ying Zhang Fu led hundreds of cavalry to Xinhua County, it was already daybreak. The sun had not yet risen, and the early winter mist was shrouding the hills and rivers, and the sky and the earth were covered with a vast expanse of white.Zhang Fu rushed into the rebel camp and looked around to see a mess. Fence stakes and wood left over from tents were scattered all over the camp, and there were many overturned stone and earth stoves with smoke curling out of them and charcoal embers smoking, which had not yet burned out.But there is no one here!The deputy general of the Central Army, Xin'an Earl Xu Heng, came over and watched the situation in the enemy camp with Zhang Fu. Both of them were silent, and the atmosphere became very strange. The young Xu Heng had a very ugly face, and he was always paying close attention to Zhang Fu's reaction.Zhang Fu's face turned pale, then a sickly red. He suddenly turned his upper body on horseback and l
