At the beginning of the first month of the second year of Hongxi (the seventh year of Yongle), many government offices in the capital suspended their operations.

There has been no news about the Han Dynasty's rebels for the time being. Some ministers in the court estimated that the rebels would threaten the capital in three months; others estimated that it would take more than two months. Rujun, Minister of the Ministry of War, and others even said in a very exaggerated manner: The rebels will attack Zhili in half a month!

The important ministers in the court were very anxious at this time, but because there was no imperial edict or official report, some yamen took a rest according to the rules. Anyway, most officials can't help at all at this time.

But the Minister of Dali Temple was not idle. Compared with the big things he did, the New Year's Day was nothing. He really wants to find out the truth of such a serious mystery! Xue Yan's hard work was also rep

    Eunuch Hai Tao was a eunuch from the Imperial Household Department. As early as when the current emperor was the Prince of Yan, Hai Tao had been in the Prince's Mansion, and most of the eunuchs in the palace knew him.Haitao, holding the emperor's handwritten edict, entered two doors guarded by eunuchs; Xue Yan, Haitao, and Tan Qing all walked into a room and saw Concubine Guo."Huahua..." There was a sound of dragging chains! Concubine Guo heard someone coming in and seemed to have taken two steps. She was actually wearing shackles on her feet!Xue Yan had never expected that Concubine Guo, who had given birth to a prince, would be treated like this! Perhaps, with her status, she could only end up like this if she was involved in the murder of the late emperor?It can be seen that His Majesty and those who know the inside story all strongly suspect that Concubine Guo is the murderer; she is currently the most suspicious person.Concubine Guo mus

The government navy on the Yangtze River has been wiped out, and the remnants of the navy have either surrendered and been captured, or fled the Yangtze River basin; the enemy fleet is sailing unimpeded, and it is expected to reach Zhili in seven or eight days, or even shorter!After seeing the urgent news in the East Warm Pavilion, Emperor Zhu Gaochi could only sigh.Seven or eight days, are there only seven or eight days left for him to rule? Maybe it can be longer, if the imperial army in the capital can temporarily stop the rebels...Zhu Gaochi thought about how he had been the crown prince of Yan for half his life, and how he had been cautious and suffered a lot of grievances. He finally managed to get to the throne, but he was a

    There is a partition in Dongnuan Pavilion, which is decorated with Yun brocade embroidery. The brocade is somewhat transparent, and the lights on the copper lamp holders inside the partitions and the red robes of the ministers are faintly visible.Many officials were very silent today. It is estimated that some people think that the imperial court is finished, what strategy still needs to be discussed? Anyway, the day when the city is broken will come sooner or later. It is better to come early than to come late, which will be more enjoyable!However, Emperor Zhu Gaochi really wanted to postpone that day as much as possible; he also wanted to struggle and delay it one day at a time.Zhu Gaochi was deep in thought while looking at the memorial on the yellow silk imperial case. Yuan Gong and others were talking, and some suggestions for moving the capital were made; some advocated sticking to the capital cities and then issuing orders to the world to serve the

    After night fell, the sound of wooden fish began to be heard in the abbot's room of Qingshou Temple. The sound of wooden fish continued until late at night, and finally stopped.Monk Qingyuan came in and helped Daoyan to tidy up the inkstone, brush, wooden fish and other items on the table. After a while, someone came out with hot water, and Qingyuan went out to bring it back; he helped Daoyan sit down on a chair and placed a wooden basin at Daoyan's feet.While busying himself, Qingyuan said, "Since the Hongxi period, you have hardly attended court, but have become even more overworked. You are old, you must take care of yourself."Daoyan glanced at the book Dao Yu Lu placed under the cabinet, sighed slightly, and a layer of worry covered his triangular eyes. But he did not answer.Qingyuan held the old monk's legs with both hands and slowly put them into the hot water in the wooden basin. Qingyuan said, "Yao Fang's lover Wang secretly hid poison on h

    From New Year's Eve to two days before the Lantern Festival, Zhu Gaoxu and the vanguard soldiers were floating on the water during the entire New Year period.Zhu Gaoxu sat on a pavilion on a large ship, with a large banner on the ship fluttering in the wind. He looked at the south bank of the river on the right, knowing that the land belonged to Zhili.The bulging sails were hung high in the air; below the deck, the wheels of the two waterwheels were turning in the river, and white waves were spinning around the wheels. The soldiers pedaling the waterwheels sang "Yo Hey" in a rhythmic manner. The ship was rising and falling in the waves, sailing very fast along the eastward river.At this moment, the general on the deck shouted, "Taipingzhou City!"Zhu Gaoxu immediately stood up from his chair, walked to the side of the boat, leaned on the wooden railing and looked south. His eyes penetrated the hazy and humid fog of early spring, and he saw a city to

    The east bank of the Yangtze River is a flat plain, with fields and magnificent manors everywhere. The royal family, nobles, bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen of the Ming Dynasty had many industries in Zhili.The imperial army's infantry and cavalry were dressed in bright armor and were numerous, marching on several parallel roads from north to south. The scene was extremely spectacular. The sound of horses' hooves, footsteps, and the "jiggle" of vehicles was very loud, and the noise seemed to cover the entire land.The main force of the government troops transferred from the capital had a total strength of 120,000! After the government troops were deployed in the capital, Zhenjiang Prefecture, and Taiping Prefecture (which had surrendered), they still had more than 100,000 people, which was the last main force.The general flag with the Chinese character "Xu" written on it fluttered in the wind.

    On the morning of the 18th day of the first lunar month in the second year of the Hongxi reign, the riverside plains several miles wide west of Hongmu Mountain were covered with damp white fog. In the fog, drums and trumpets sounded, and the horses and men made noises, so it was unclear how many troops the King of Han had."Today's fog came so suddenly!" a general's voice said in the distance. Zhu Gaoxu heard the voice but could not see the man's face clearly.Zhu Gaoxu waited for a while under the central army flag, and then a scout came to report, "Your Majesty, the enemy has broken camp and is marching south!""Message to the entire army, advance slowly and in an orderly manner, advance one and a half miles, and enter the designated battlefield!" Zhu Gaoxu ordered."Yes, sir!"The two camps were five miles apart last night. Because both armies had heavy artillery, it was a more reasonable arrangement to set up their formations about two miles

    "Report! Longping Hou (Zhang Xin) defeated the rebels at Hongmu Mountain on the left wing. According to military orders, he attacked from the south of Hongmu Mountain in a roundabout way!" A knight rushed to report with a flag.The knight stepped forward and continued, "The rebels in Hongmu Mountain were defeated. Except for some of the defeated soldiers, they fled into the mountains and forests of Hongmu Mountain. The rest ran into the manor in the south and resisted. Longping Hou has divided his troops to attack to wipe out the rebel Hongmu Mountain. The remnants of Makuyama.”The generals immediately praised Xu Huizu. Xu Huizu, who was extremely burly, sat on the horse, but he seemed very calm. He looked around and said, "The breakthrough on the left wing was just expected. The rebels are so few in number. How many troops can be mobilized in Hongmu Mountain?"Xu Huizu's confident words and calm expression gave his subordinates more confidence."Beat

    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
