Chapter 707: Covering one's ears and stealing the bell
Last Updated:
2024-08-03 14:45:32Before noon, Zhu Gaoxu stayed in Rouyi Palace without going out. During this time, he did not see Queen Chen of Annan again.
Zhu Gaoxu spent the entire morning reading recent memorials, but he did not review most of them. Instead, he handed them over to the cabinet for processing; even so, it took half a day.
There was another memorial from a foreign envoy that caught Zhu Gaoxu's attention. The funeral document sent by the Japanese envoy was signed by "Prince Minamoto Yoshimochi of Japan" and reported the death of his father Minamoto Yoshimitsu.
Minamoto no Yoshimitsu (Ashikaga Yoshimitsu) once accepted the title of "King of Japan" from Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty and conducted Kango trade with the Ming Dynasty by paying tribute.
(Zhu Gaoxu understood the so-called Kange trade as a kind of official trade with political overtones. Japan sent envoys and merchants to the capital to pay tribute, and the court granted the merchants the goods they ne

Minister of War Qi Tai returned to the capital with the emperor and has been back for three days.Qi Tai left the military office before the twelfth hour this afternoon. As soon as he returned to his home in the southwest of the imperial city, he saw Yang Yunniang washing clothes in the corner of the yard.Yunniang was the young lady arranged and awarded to him by the emperor. She looked very similar to someone he met many years ago.Qi Tai immediately stood beside the cave entrance, silently observing the young lady not far away. He felt very complicated, and even felt that time was hazy and unreal.Last year, after he brought Yunniang back home, he left the capital for official business and went to the north to prepare food and fodder. After that, he had a lot of things to do and didn't have time to think about his own affairs. More than half a year later, when Qi Tai returned to the capital and saw Yunniang, he felt so strange.It is said that

The next day, Yao Ji sent a letter out of the palace. The letter to her brother Yao Fang was sent by the eunuch to Qingshou Temple, outside Taiping Gate, the northeast gate of the inner city, because Yao Fang was still living in the temple.He lived in the temple for so long, but he never became a monk and made no contribution to Qingshou Temple.At first, the monks were in awe of Yao Fang because of his status as a royal relative. But when the new abbot, Monk Qinghui, failed to ask Yao Fang to save Qingyuan, he gradually realized that Yao Fang seemed to have been abandoned by the emperor, and the monks' attitude became more and more disrespectful.In addition, Yao Fang had been staying for nearly a year, and the monks finally began to get impatient with him. They only provided vegetarian meals because of his family background.Yao Fang also had no money, and by this time he had already lived like a beggar, and was very depressed every day. The Yao fam

Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, not only visited the "Fake Yard" with his own eyes, but also went to the Longjiang Bao Shipyard.Longjiang Port is located fifteen miles outside Waijinchuan Gate. Many sea-going ships docked in the pond (dockyard) have been given a new look. Most of the hard sails have been replaced with new ones, and craftsmen are repairing the slip ropes (pulleys), waterproof compartments, and decks. There are so many people in the harbor that it looks like it has turned into a market.And a temple called Jinghai Temple by the pond has almost become a palace for eunuchs dispatched from the palace. It is guarded by many royal guards and eunuchs inside and outside.The Holy Spirit asked people to compile craftsmen's books and repair ships. What on earth was going on? All the signs are very obvious. The Holy Lord will continue to carry out his voyages to the West as an important event during his reign.Xia Yuanji came to hi

It was no longer cold in the capital at the end of February, and it was especially warm in the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.Charcoal is burning in the incense burner, but it is not for heating, but for incense. There is a hollow brass incense burner next to the wall. The craftsmanship is very exquisite and the surface is smooth. The palace people polished it until it was bright; the bright yellow color added a lot of luxury to the place.The Indian incense burning in the copper stove was a tribute from the envoys of Java Island. The smell is slightly pungent. It will not smell good at first, but after you get used to it, you will feel more comfortable.However, Zhu Gaoxu had already ignored the smell in the room, and his attention was distracted by other things. The ministers had not arrived yet, and Miaojin was talking to him.The imperial concubine Miaojin did not wear concubine's clothes, but she wore a purple cross-collar robe and a futou

The first person to stand out against Xia Yuanji was completely unexpected by Zhu Gaoxu. He was Zhao Ping, Marquis of Yongqing.After the death of a group of the most prestigious founding heroes at the beginning of the country, there were the Jingnan Campaign, the Annan Campaign, the Conquest of Crimes, and the Northern Expedition to Tatar soon after. The frequent wars in the Ming Dynasty kept the status of military generals high. Although the system had been changed during the Hongwu period, most military and political offices no longer allowed military generals to hold power, but the meritorious military generals still had the power of public opinion, and their words were always effective in the court; the participation of military generals in political discussions was not the original creation of Zhu Gaoxu.When Zhao Ping was in Yunnan, he dealt with many chieftains. He was not very good at fighting, but he was a scholar before joining the army and was said to

The palace has chosen an auspicious date and festival to enthrone two concubines in early March of the first year of Wude. Among them, Li Xianhui, a member of the royal family of Joseon, will be the Consort Zhuang, and Shen (Baoyeon) will be the Concubine Zhuang.The Joseon envoy Kang Sun-sin originally thought that he could return to his country to report after seeing Lee Hyun-hye being canonized. However, they were not told when to attend the "horse-mounting banquet"; Kang Sun-sin and Park Gyeong-mu had recently met with the Ming Emperor in the Yoyi Palace, but they did not mention when to leave.It looks like the trip will have to be delayed for a while.As expected, Kang Shunchen soon found out some other things.The officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty were discussing with the Japanese envoys about sending a Ming Dynasty delegation to Japan to confer the title of King. The final number of people was determined to be 30. The court

When Zhu Gaoxu was chatting in the living room, Ma Enhui occasionally had a funny feeling; because when Zhu Gaoxu talked about something he was proud of, he would look at Ma Enhui, and there was a sense of showing off in his eyes.In fact, the rule of the Jianwen Dynasty has completely collapsed, and reality has confirmed its failure. Zhu Gaoxu does not need to compare. But he seems to be very competitive, talking about cutting down vassal states, conquering the north, and achieving great achievements; this is incompatible with the saint's words of being unfazed by honor and disgrace, being indifferent and humble.Ma Enhui was not disgusted, she also felt that Zhu Gaoxu was indeed very ambitious; besides, the woman really didn't care about those achievements, as long as the family was not ruined. His greedy passion reminded her of the night a few months ago, and her heart was very confused for a while.The tea had been brewed, and Mrs. Shen Xu filled it with

From the end of February to the beginning of March, the capital experienced drizzle for several days.After coming out of Qingshou Temple, Yao Fang, who lived in simplicity, saw the people coming and going in the capital market. She felt that there was no change from half a year ago, but she also felt that something was a little different. Maybe it's just that his state of mind is different.The Yao and Qin families had completed the process of adoption and engagement, and had thought that it would be raining when they were welcoming the bride; but unexpectedly, on the auspicious day, the weather suddenly cleared up. The guests all took advantage of the weather to express their congratulations.Yao Fang's sister was a virtuous concubine and her father was a nobleman, but the emperor seemed to avoid them deliberately and did not send envoys to give gifts. However, there were many dignitaries who attended the banquet that day, including the Empress's family, t

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
