Zhu Gaoxu has read a lot of troublesome state affairs in the past few days, and they seem to be very important; such as the civil and military memorials in border towns to report to Zhu Gaochi (who had become the puppet emperor at this time), the Mongolian tribes harassing the border and other memorials. Everything seemed urgent.
But Xue Yan quietly said: It won't be a big deal if it lasts for ten days and a half. The remnants of the Yuan Dynasty cannot threaten the Ming Dynasty now; even if our army urgently mobilizes the army to go north, the tribesmen in the north will have already fled when they arrive, so it will not be of much use!
Zhu Gaoxu also felt that this matter could not be handled so simply and that it had to be considered in the long term...
The emperor always sleeps alone in the Qianqing Palace, the rain and dew cannot benefit the Sixth Palace, and the emperor's heirs cannot prosper; that is the eunuch's dereliction of duty, and sooner or lat
In the spacious and luxurious Qianqing Palace, purple and red curtains embroidered with gold threads hang straight to the wooden floor.The light from the palace lantern on Cheng Liang's copper lamp stand passes through the two layers of curtains and shines inside, showing different hazy colors. The purple, red, and red light all give people a warm and gorgeous feeling. The two events of half an hour passed, there was no more sound, and the palace was completely quiet.Zhu Gaoxu lay on his back on the pillow, slowly holding the skin on Pu's shoulder with his hands. Pu Shi leaned sideways in his arms, her body heaving and breathing heavily. Her face was a little pale and her eyes were closed.Looking at the top of Lingluo's tent, Zhu Gaoxu seemed to see the invisible surging tide receding rapidly. After being silent for a while, he gradually started to feel a little strange.After a while, Ms. Pu struggled feebly to get up. She asked feebly , "Is Your M
In the past few days, Zhu Gaoxu was on duty at Yumen. After lunch today, he went to the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.Entering Dongnuan Pavilion, you have to pass through a famous sloping corridor.It is located inside the Qianqing Gate and belongs to the living area of the harem of the Emperor of Heaven. Normal civil and military personnel from the outer court are absolutely not allowed to enter. Anyone who is a scholar and has been to the Xianlang must have been a close official of the Emperor in an important position. , such a person can not only meet the emperor, but also talk to the emperor in such informal settings. Therefore, when a literati talks about the sloping corridor in front of friends, it brings with it a halo.Zhu Gaoxu also knew that the Slanted Corridor was very famous, but when he walked here, he saw only an ordinary corridor. It was just like when he visited Leifeng Pagoda in later generations, he really saw it and felt that it
Before leaving his post at the hour of You, Zhu Gaoxu summoned another person: Hu Yi, the Minister of Rites.Hu Yi entered from the oblique corridor to meet the emperor, kowtowed and wished him a long life. Zhu Gaoxu raised his head while writing and said, "Get up."After Zhu Gaoxu finished writing, he took a look at the handwriting and thought: This handwriting is really good, I have to brag about it. He put down the brush neatly and handed the paper with wet handwriting to Cao Fu next to him."Minister Hu, take this imperial edict and go to the Ministry of Personnel to find Jian Yi and ask him to handle the appointment letter and other formalities for you. From now on, you will be the Left Minister of Rites and be in charge of the Ministry of Rites." Zhu Gaoxu did not forget to remind him carefully, "The ink is not dry yet, don't smudge it."Hu Yi was stunned for a moment, and stood there for a while without reacting. When Cao Fu delivered the imperi
A student of the Imperial College wrote an article praising Qi Tai and read it in public, which quickly caused a shock among the scholars in the capital. Some people even secretly speculated: This is a sign of someone forming a clique and risking their lives to overturn Jianwen's verdict?But that day, the author of the article was found out.There were many foreign students in the Imperial College at that time, and most of them were from North Korea. They were gold-plated in the Imperial College so that they could go back to serve as officials. The author of this article was a Korean, and he also had a more important identity: he was worshiped by the Ministry of Rites. Hu Hui is my teacher!In the past two days, Hu Hui had just been promoted from Minister of Rites to Zuo Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and was favored by the Holy Spirit!The current emperor is the legitimate son of Emperor Taizong, and his enthronement edict also praised Taizong's
The guards, honor guards, local officials and other people had traveled dozens of miles from Yugan County to reach this Dayuanba village. After all the trouble, it was almost evening, so everyone had to rest there for the night.The officials requisitioned many houses from the people. Fortunately, the guards had military tents with them, so they were able to settle down in this small village where there was nothing.Qian Rui and Du's mother lived in their own home. Zheng Shi Huang Gou arranged many eunuchs and soldiers to take turns guarding outside. The mother and daughter lived in a dilapidated house, and there were several young palace maids to serve them.After night fell, the bedroom was full of dark brown dirt under the oil lamp, some of which were smoked by soot and dust in the humid air. There were even strips of black stuff hanging from the roof, which were called "yang dust" by the locals. They were the remnants of spider webs smoked with wood ash.
In February, except for the civil and military officials who were too far from the capital, the congratulatory letters from all over the country had been sent to the Tongzhengshisi and Zhu Gaoxu. Behind the chair in the East Warm Pavilion, the map of the Ming Dynasty hanging on the wall had a new use; Zhu Gaoxu circled the regions of the congratulatory letters with a red pen.The map was already filled with dense red circles. At first glance, it looked like a painting of branches full of red flowers, a little rough, but very beautiful; it just matched the beautiful spring scenery at this time.Zhu Gaoxu had made some personnel adjustments in a short period of time after ascending the throne. In addition to the deployment of civil and military officials in the court, he also ordered Cao Fu to be the eunuch of Shangshenjian, and Hou Xian and Wang Jinghong to be the junior eunuchs of Silijian (the position of eunuch of Silijian was reserved for Wang Gui).Seein
Ma Enhui trusted Zhu Gaoxu very much. She at least believed that he would not harm her and had good intentions towards her. This unconditional trust was probably the reason why Ma Enhui always had a good impression of Zhu Gaoxu.The air was filled with the scent of flowers from the Imperial Garden, a complex mixture of aromas, just like Ma Enhui's mood at the moment.Just now Zhu Gaoxu said that he missed her a lot these years; Ma Enhui certainly thought it was a frivolous flirtation. Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaoxu explained very seriously that he was just thinking of her kindness!In this way, Ma Enhui's superfluous words "Your Majesty, please be careful with your words" were naturally meant to tell Zhu Gaoxu that she had misunderstood the meaning.Ma Enhui was so ashamed and embarrassed that she could not bear it any more. Her originally fair face was now as red as the petals in the yard...Ma Enhui had naturally fair skin, a look that pleased Emperor
Among those from Huguang, Gao Xianning was the first to arrive in Beijing. He was immediately appointed as the Minister of Dali Temple; with Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Du Erlang, the governor of Beizhen, and Yao Fang, the general banner of Beizhen Fusi, as assistants, Gao Xianning took over Xue Yan's unfinished business.It was not until late February that the Han Dynasty's official offices, family members, guards and other large groups arrived at Longjiang Port in the capital. Zhu Gaoxu appointed Wang Gui as the eunuch in charge of rituals, and sent people to temporarily settle his family members in the Sixth Palace in the West, waiting for canonization.After Zhu Gaoxu met his family members in Qianqing Palace, he came to Dongnuan Pavilion and immediately summoned Miao Jin and the eunuch Wang Yin...The first person to walk into the partition was Miao Jin. She bowed and saluted to Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting behind the imperial desk. Sh
