Chapter 61: The Unexpected
Last Updated:
2024-08-03 14:45:26The government troops came from the south, and the largest number of people gathered outside the Lizheng Gate, the south gate of Peking. There were roars of artillery fire and billowing smoke outside the city, but the prince was still personally in charge at the Lizheng Gate!
Zhu Gaoxu, Yao Guangxiao and others also stood beside the prince, and the people in the tower couldn't help coughing from time to time. The thick smoke from the burning gunpowder and fierce oil was very choking.
The smell of burning kerosene was like a mixture of gasoline and asphalt. Zhu Gaoxu felt as if he was in a shabby thirty-year-old truck.
Although the people on the tower were high up, their vision was obstructed by the thick smoke and they could not see the outside clearly. From time to time, soldiers would walk into the tower and kneel on one knee to report the situation. When the artillery fire was dense, even the voices of people were often unclear. The atmosphere around was

Qu Neng had a flat forehead and high brow bones, which made his eyes appear even deeper. He stared at the Zhangyi Gate Tower for a long time, and his eyes made the surrounding generals feel sad.His son Qu Liangcai said, "What a pity! So many brothers died in vain, and still failed!"A general next to him simply cursed, "Li Jinglong, damn it, is it so difficult to send some reinforcements?!"Qu Liangcai pondered, "Father gave frank advice in Hejian Prefecture, which seemed to have offended Duke Cao. I heard that Duke Cao is narrow-minded, is he deliberately doing something bad behind my back?"The general just now angrily cursed, "His brain was kicked by a donkey! We conquered Peking, but the greatest credit should go to Li Jinglong, right?"Qu Neng sighed, retracted his gaze, turned his horse around, and raised his arm to stop his generals, "Duke Cao would not do this, maybe there was a mistake in the transmission of military orders. Stop talkin

The east was already turning white, and it was early morning. A cold mist enveloped the city of Peking. The fighting during the day had temporarily subsided, leaving only the faint groans of pain in the darkness. The smell of gunpowder and blood in the air remained in the mist after a night.Suddenly, a loud shout came from the army camp, "The commander is missing!"The soldiers were horrified and searched everywhere in the camp. Soon after, the generals of each camp also arrived at the central army one after another. How could they find the commander Li Jinglong?The generals looked at each other in bewilderment, all in a daze in the big tent, not knowing what to do for a moment. At this time, a general said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid the commander-in-chief has already fled overnight..."There was an uproar in the tent, and soon several generals hurriedly lifted the oilcloth and left without saying a word. Everyone came to their senses and hurried t

Snowflakes were floating slowly in the air. The snow was not falling densely, but it never stopped for a moment.The roofs of houses everywhere in Peking were covered with snow, and it looked like a vast expanse of white. It was almost the end of the year, and the red lanterns dotted around added a bit of color.A group of people holding umbrellas walked into the gatehouse of the Prince of Yan's Mansion, and then walked west for a while along the road that had been cleared of snow. The old monk holding a Zen stick in front was Yao Guangxiao. He brought a few people to a gate, put away his umbrella, and handed it to the novice monk next to him.The little monk and the other two people did not go in, only Yao Guangxiao walked into that door.After a while, Yuan Gong and a civil servant came to greet him. Yuan Gong wore a black gauze cap and a round-collared robe. He used to be a fortune teller, but now he is the chief official of the royal palace and has

"Clang..." Every time Zhu Gaoxu took a step, he could hear the sound of his boots crushing the snow.The road surface cannot be seen in the snow. Only when you step on it carefully and feel the solid road surface will you feel at ease.He lowered his head to look at the road and said nothing more. The past events came back to his mind one after another, and many things he had seen and hadn't seen slowly connected into one piece like knitting a sweater.Junying grass is the modern lily of the valley, and the whole plant is poisonous. It is very common in modern times, but it was considered a rare thing in ancient times. Zhu Gaoxu only dabbled in it because of his hobby.When Zhu Gaoxu was in Nanjing, he saw the little white flower blooming in the corner for the first time and knew what it was; he didn't think of its use at the time. That's why he talked about it in front of Du Qianrui and teased the servants who were spreading rumors in the corner.

Taoists can understand the seven emotions and six desires of the mortal world. Since Xu Miaojing claims to have received the true teachings of Zhang Sanfeng and calls herself a real person, she has already realized the true meaning of the three realms. Why would she commit suicide?Zhu Gaoxu racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.Even if Xu Miaojin no longer became a Taoist priest, with her father's status as a Jinshi and her own stunning beauty, she would have no problem wearing fine clothes and eating delicious food, and would live a life far better than that of ordinary people.Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but sigh inwardly: People who have nothing are trying to survive, while people who have everything are committing suicide?He saw Xu Miaojin's pale face, tears in her almond-shaped eyes, and her agitated look. He ignored the doubts and emotions in his heart and said kindly, "Life is short, and everyone will die sooner or later. Why are you so an

Tonight, the city of Beiping is more prosperous than ever. On his way back home, Zhu Gaoxu rode through the bustling city, but he was no longer in a festive mood.At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly asked Wang Gui, who was leading the horse in front, "Have you had the reunion dinner?"Wang Gui turned his head and looked at the road in front of him. As he walked, he said, "I have no family and no children. How long will it last? But Cao Fu bought wine and meat the day before yesterday and will take the prince back to rest soon. I will wait for you." Have a good meal too!”Zhu Gaoxu said, "I went to my father's palace to have a good meal and drink, but I forgot that you were waiting outside. After a while, I also put the cost of tonight's wine and meat into the warehouse. It's my invitation to you."Wang Guidao said, "Your Majesty still remembers us, which is a great kindness. Only by serving your Majesty loyally can I repay Your Majesty's kindness."

What is coming will eventually come. In April of the second year of Jianwen, after several months of deployment, the Ming court finally completed a new round of military gathering.Li Jinglong, who suffered a crushing defeat last year, now has an army of 600,000 men again!The court mobilized troops from all over the country, including those from Yunnan, thousands of miles away, and they were led by Teng Ju, the commander of the Luliang Guard, and were under Li Jinglong's command. In addition, Guo Ying, Wu Jie and other nobles led troops in Zhending and Hejian, all under Li Jinglong's command.No one can really explain why Li Jinglong was in charge of the army again! But one thing is certain: just as Li Jinglong won out among several candidates last year, this year the court must have gone through a complicated game of chess, the process of which is difficult for outsiders to guess.The generals of the Yan army were discussing matters in the palace.

Hundreds of thousands of government troops never stopped for a single day, and multiple groups of troops advanced northward one after another. The main force had just passed Hejian Prefecture and was spreading towards Xiong County.General Ping An led the elite cavalry and was located in the northernmost part. As the vanguard, he was close to the Baigou River.That day, the sturdy Ping An rode a big brown horse and led only a few riders to the river to observe the terrain. After a while, he saw a small group of horses running towards this side.That small group of cavalry came from the south, so it was unlikely that they were enemy soldiers. Ping An watched for a while and saw that they were indeed government troops; and they were people he knew. Who else could the man in front be but Qu Neng?Qu Neng immediately clasped his fists and said, "General Ping!""General Qu!" Ping An also returned the salute.Qu Neng didn't say much. He rode his

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
Game of the Throne Chapter 1062 Chicken with Rice
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
