The sound of drums signaling the end of the You hour shift came from afar, breaking the dead silence in the East Warm Pavilion.

Eunuch Wang Gui spoke cautiously, "Can this be described as an accidental fire?"

Zhang Sheng said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid no one will believe it. According to the signs written in the report, there was a strong smell of tung oil when the fire broke out in Xiaoyao City, and all the water tanks used to put out the fire were broken! It doesn't look like an accident. The people who participated in the fire fighting included soldiers, officials, and servants, not just our people. It's impossible to hide the truth; I think the eunuch Wu Zhong is very suspicious, so why not put the blame on him!"

Wang Gui sighed, "This is still unbelievable! Everyone in the world knows that the deposed prince's family was sent to Fengyang by the emperor to guard the mausoleum; the emperor is in charge of the court and has arranged people to keep an ey

    After the emperor and dozens of his ministers discussed the matter, it was already late at night.The eunuchs escorted all the ministers out of the palace, and they walked out of the Xihua Gate and then out of the imperial city from the Xi'an Gate. The Xihua Gate was then closed because it was already past the time to close the gates of the palace.The street lamps were bright, and the lights on the towers near and far were on. The civil and military officials were talking in groups of three or five, and the noisy voices actually eased the previous tense atmosphere.The people walking beside Dali Temple Minister Gao Xianning included Qian Xun, a former official of the Prince of Han's Palace, and Hu Guang, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy!Hu Guang was a man who defected to the deposed crown prince during the Hongxi Dynasty, but now he can talk to Gao Xianning.

    On the morning of April 28, Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Imperial Guard, had just arrived at the government office to arrange personnel and prepare the itinerary. At this time, Wang Gui, the eunuch of the Imperial Household Department, arrived.Wang Gui had obvious eye bags and dark circles. As expected, he started with a greeting, "I stayed with the Emperor last night and didn't sleep a wink. Did Marquis Lezhi sleep for a while after returning home?"Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "I was worried about having to get up early this morning, so I went to sleep. Please come by, Mr. Wang."The two of them walked into a corridor room, and Wang Gui spoke in a lower voice, whispering with Zhang Sheng for a long time.Zhang Sheng clasped his fists and said, "I will follow the emperor's wishes and complete the task."Wang Gui said, "The Emperor also said that we only need to say hello to Marquis Lezhi, who is a reliable person. I will pass on the messag

    The faint scent of tea had already filled several rooms. Ma Enhui turned her back to the living room and waited a little longer. She secretly wiped away her tears and was in a daze for a while before finally making the tea.When she returned to the place she had just been, she heard a soft snoring sound. Zhu Gaoxu was actually leaning on the chair and fell asleep!Ma Enhui carefully placed the tea on the table beside her and stared at Gao Xu who was sleeping soundly. She felt very complicated, a little warm, a little distressed, a little helpless, in short, a mixture of all kinds of emotions.At this point, Gao Xu could still sleep with her, and he still trusted her. What he said last time, "I think my cousin's wife is very kind and beautiful," seemed to be true; Ma Enhui originally thought that he was just speaking sweet words on a whim, after all, men are like that.Ma Enhui also felt the misunderstanding and pain of losing his loved ones that Gao Xu

The emperor has also been frank with the ministers and explained the matter, and the ministers all believe it. However, in order to take the overall situation into consideration and avoid the case from involving too many people and making it difficult to handle; before questioning the confession, the officials of each yamen

    The summer sun was shining brightly outside, but the imperial prison was very dark, but it was a lot cooler.Xia Yuanji, who is in his early forties, has a fair complexion and a square face. In this dirty place filled with complex smells, he was sitting on a wooden bed without any hesitation. He had already taken off his official uniform and black gauze hat, but he had not yet put on his prison uniform. He was sitting there in only a white cross-collar undergarment, and his body was very neat.His expression was a bit heavy, and his serious eyes were lowered, as if he was thinking about something.At this moment, a voice suddenly said, "The Holy One is here!"Xia Yuanji was shocked and immediately raised his head and looked outside the cell in surprise.After a while, the sound of "ding, clang, clang, clang" was heard from outside the wooden door of the cell. After the chain was unlocked but before the door was opened, Zhu Gaoxu's voice was heard

    At dusk, the Youshi drum on Xuanwu Gate had just sounded.Zhu Gaoxu and the eunuch Wang Gui came to the south of the Imperial Garden and outside the courtyard where Ma Enhui lived. Wang Gui was carrying a cloth bundle on his back."I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty!" When Ma Enhui came into the courtyard, she looked expressionless, but there was a hint of restrained surprise on her face. Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her and said proactively, "Let's go to the living room and have a few words. I have something to discuss with my cousin.""Your Majesty, please." Ma Enhui leaned forward and made a gesture.Zhu Gaoxu waited for her to stand up straight, and couldn't help but glance at her breasts. Ma Enhui also noticed it, and subconsciously gently pulled her half-armed clothes together.He immediately dropped his gaze. Last time, because he misunderstood Ma Enhui's hint, he took the first step, but was rejected. At this time, he was no longer easily abr

    After saying goodbye, Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be very busy and quickly walked to a desk; then he took out the paper and ink file from his bag. His movements were calm and unhurried, but the intervals between actions were short, and it was clear that he had other things on his mind.Enhui stood nearby and did not move immediately. She should have left at this time, but for some reason her feet seemed to be nailed there and she couldn't move.Zhu Gaoxu quickly turned his head and looked at her face with a questioning expression, as if he wanted to know what she had left unsaid.Enhui clasped her hands in front of her belly, pinching hard between her fingers, her palms were slightly sweaty. She noticed Zhu Gaoxu's gaze and could only mutter , "I suddenly felt a little scared and a little reluctant to let go..."After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was slightly startled, then picked up the things and put them back on the table. He turned around on the stool, pointed

The bed was empty, Enhui certainly didn't stay here, otherwise it would be very bad if someone saw it in the morning.He sat on the edge of the bed for a while, found a few long strands of hair, and twisted them with his fingers.At first, Zhu Gaoxu didn't have such affection for Enhui. He saved her life for the first time when they met, which aroused subtle sympathy and goodwill; his thoughts were so strange, even though he saved Enhui, he had a good feeling in return, probably because he knew that the other party would be grateful to him. stop? The good intentions and bad intentions between people are actually mutual. Later, Enhui quietly told Zhu Gaoxu the secret of the tunnel, which helped him greatly! He was very grateful to Enhui.

    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
