Chapter 698 The Unfinished Victory
"Good news! Good news..." Several cavalrymen rushed into the Ming army camp and began to shout loudly. Many soldiers heard the noise and looked in the barracks in the direction of the sound.
Zhu Gaoxu and others in the Chinese army's camp were also alarmed, and they walked out of the tent.
Only then did Zhu Gaoxu realize that at some point, heavy snow began to fall in the sky again. The numerous felt tents in the camp were already covered with a layer of white snow.
The snowflakes in the sky seemed to add a bit of vitality to the originally barren frozen land.
A rider who had just been let into the central army camp dismounted in the snow. He must have seen Zhu Gaoxu, so he strode forward, took out the sealed report, knelt on one knee and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the vanguard Duke E defeated the Tatar king's tent, and sent me back to report the victory!"
The civil and military officials at the door of the big tent spoke and congratulated Zhu G

The army trudged through the icy and snowy grasslands for nearly two months, from mid-October to the beginning of December, when the army's food and fodder had been used up and more than 200,000 soldiers were exhausted.At this time, cheers came from the front, and countless people heard the noise and looked around. In the hazy wind and snow, people finally saw the vague shadow of the city tower in the distance."Kaiping Wei!" A place name was mixed in the shout.As the army gradually approached the city, the government troops and soldiers who stayed in the warehouses came to greet them outside the city, beating gongs and drums. It was so lively! In the vast white wilderness, it was like a festival today.Kaipingwei had a warehouse with stored food. The granary was immediately opened, and soldiers from various camps entered the city to receive food. Smoke from cooking rose from all over the city. The Ming army soldiers, who had eaten so much horse meat

At the end of December, the Ming Emperor personally led the northern expeditionary army into Juyongguan Pass and marched to the southern foot of Jundu Mountain. The Yongle era was completely over, and the first year of Wude was about to begin.The army was stationed near a garrison at the foot of Jundu Mountain. Along the foot of the mountain along the post road, the soldiers opened up a large cemetery; the bodies of the fallen soldiers brought back from the battlefield were buried here one after another.During this festive season, people not only feel the chill of deep winter, but also an inexplicable atmosphere of fear.On the post road at the foot of the mountain, the captured enemy heads were piled up in a new cemetery, which reminded people of the "Jingguan".It is said that in ancient times, cruel monarchs would kill countless people after conquering a place, and pile up the bodies into Jingguan to shock the world. This time, the Ming army place
Game of the Throne Chapter 701 The Most Beautiful Season
The army arrived in the capital in late February. Princess Lee Hyun-hye of Joseon remembered that Zhu Gaoxu had told her that it was the most beautiful season in the capital.As the ferry sailed across the vast river, Li Xianhui stood by the railing on the deck, looking at the long city walls, clusters of houses, towering pagodas, and looming towers on the east bank of the river. The vast city was on the other side. The most prosperous capital in the world was getting closer and closer.She completely forgot about the bumps and fatigue along the way, and her heart was filled with inexplicable excitement.The cool breeze on the river surface carried a faint fishy smell. In the distant harbor, a ship as big as a palace floated, and the sound of copper bells could be heard faintly. The dock on the other side was full of people. In addition to the crowd waiting there to welcome the emperor, there were also many porters, merchants and pedestrians carrying things.

The Daming Palace in the evening was very beautiful. The eaves of the palace were shimmering with dreamy light, and the lacquer paintings on the side facing the setting sun became more vivid; and from a certain angle, the elegant shapes of other pavilions and towers had become hazy, and the shadows highlighted their outlines, which aroused people's reverie.Perhaps because this is a completely unfamiliar place thousands of miles away from home, even though it is so peaceful and comfortable, Li Xianhui still feels a little uneasy. From time to time, she looked at the brick road outside the palace gate, as if expecting something.Mrs. Park, who has a pair of double eyelids and almond-shaped eyes, said in familiar Korean dialect, "My wife won't be able to see the Holy One tonight, and I won't see him in the next few days."Li Xianhui's eyes suddenly flickered as her thoughts were revealed. She subconsciously refused to admit it, "No...I wasn't thinking about th
Game of the Throne Chapter 703 Guilt
The emperor had just returned to Beijing yesterday, and today he held a banquet in Fengtian Hall to celebrate the meritorious soldiers in the Northern Expedition. The palace was busier than usual. But at this time, the queen actually came to the courtyard south of the Imperial Garden to visit Guo Yan.The queen exchanged a few words in the living room and then handed a letter to Guo Yan.At this time, Guo Yan had just read the contents of the letter. The letter was written by their father, Guo Ming, Marquis of Wuding: Guo Ming requested an order to send Guo Yan to live in Fengyang!Guo Yan knew exactly what it meant once a member of the royal family was sent to Zhongdu. He will probably be completely abandoned and forgotten by the world, and live a secluded life. Of course, most of the time there will be a very grand rhetoric, which is called etiquette, law and morality.In an instant, Guo Yan seemed to hear a "buzz" and her mind went blank.Afte
Game of the Throne Chapter 704: Slander
After the Ming Emperor returned to Beijing, he probably would not summon Chen in a short time. But the day after he returned to Beijing, he did go to Rouyi Hall to work, and Queen Chen of Annan lived here.Many people wanted to meet the emperor immediately. The empress and concubines wanted his care. The ministers needed to see him and let him decide their opinions. The envoys from foreign countries also wanted to see him as soon as possible because they knew that the emperor's words were the most effective. However, Chen had lived in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and even she herself felt that Zhu Gaoxu did not need to rush to see her.So she knew that Zhu Gaoxu was very close, but she couldn't get close to him.She could only sit in the hall at the back of the palace and read sometimes, but would soon stand up and pretend nothing had happened at the door, looking towards the main hall to the south.Chen had no urgent business to attend to, and sh

Zhu Gaoxu stopped persuading, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea. At this time, he paid attention to Chen's face and eyes, and he immediately realized that his long speech seemed to be in vain.Because he had long seen that Chen had already been loyal to the Ming Dynasty; and her son had also been learning Chinese since he could read. This was probably one of the reasons why Zhu Gaoxu insisted on supporting this queen.(During the Yongle reign, the Ming army marched into Annan on a large scale, costing countless lives and military supplies. Although Zhu Gaoxu had always disapproved of the court's immediate direct rule over Annan, because he believed that since the Song Dynasty, Annan had gradually developed its own civilization and identity, and it would not be easy to re-sinicize; but since the Ming Dynasty had invested so much, he did not want the rulers of Annan to hate and reject the Ming Dynasty, causing the court to lose all its money.)

The sky was clear in the morning. Zhu Gaoxu did not go to the north of the imperial city or attend the court. He went straight to the Rouyi Palace to work. During the northern expedition, there were many government affairs that Zhu Gaoxu did not ask about; at this time, he wanted to take a general look at the files to understand the government affairs recorded by the cabinet over the past few months.The eunuch on duty today to serve Zhu Gaoxu was Hou Xian, the junior eunuch of the Imperial Household Department. He was a eunuch with clear facial features and a square appearance.As soon as Zhu Gaoxu entered the Rouyi Palace, he looked into the backyard. But Hou Xian was not Cao Fu, and he didn't seem to know much about some things. Hou Xian brought a few eunuchs and delivered the latest memorials.Since the stack of memorials had already been placed on the table, Zhu Gaoxu planned to take a quick look at them and then send them to the Wuying Palace in the no
