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
March in late spring did not make Zhu Gaojiu feel the sad atmosphere of spring and autumn, because after the weather became sunny, it became warmer and warmer. However, this peaceful season did not allow him to use the scenery to express his emotions and express his inner turmoil.In the early morning, between the gorgeous palaces, moist mist enveloped the grass, trees and corridors in the courtyard. Birds were chirping from nowhere, and the fragrance of flowers could be faintly heard in the air.Zhu Gaoxu walked through the inclined corridor and came to Dongnuan Pavilion, which was closest to his living place.Someone inside had already started the day's work. The eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department brought in the memorials, and the palace maids were adding charcoal and spices to the incense burner. The smell was still Indian incense. It was just because Zhu Gaoxu once praised the unique smell of the spices.After a while, Miao Jin also cam
Just as Zhu Gaoxu realized, it was too easy to be lazy when being an emperor in the Ming Dynasty.He had always known that the emperor would set the questions and mark the exams himself, but after he summoned Qi Tai, he realized that the emperor could ask the ministers to write a few questions, and then the emperor only needed to choose one topic.As for how to select the top three candidates, it was even easier. There was no fixed standard for this matter, and the emperor could be very casual, and no one would make trouble. After all, those who participated in the palace examination would not fail, and after the palace examination, they would all become Jinshi, and everyone was happy.The emperor could judge by who wrote better or looked better, without any problem. For example, Wang Gen during the Jianwen reign was the top scholar, but he didn't get the title because he didn't look square enough; and Huang Zicheng during the Hongwu reign didn't get the tit
In early March, Imperial Noble Consort Mu was about to give birth. Zhu Gaoxu returned to the harem and stayed in the East Palace. However, according to experience, men were not allowed to enter the delivery room, otherwise it would be unlucky for pregnant women. He could only listen to the noise from outside.The Imperial Concubine's palace first summoned many female officials and maids, as well as several midwives. Unexpectedly, from day to midnight, Mu Zhen still did not give birth to the child. Zhu Gaoxu also ordered the doctors of the Imperial Hospital to enter the palace overnight and wait for orders.Later, the concubine Park from Joseon came to Dongyi Palace and reported that the Park family wanted her to enter the Joseon palace at first, so they taught her medical skills since she was a child, and she could help. Zhu Gaoxu then allowed her to enter the delivery room.He stayed up all night in the East Palace until dawn. The next morning, the people i
The spring is bright and beautiful, and everything is back to life. During this period, Zhu Gaoxu recalled the peaceful days in Yunnan, when he had a lot of time every day and could do whatever he wanted. The biggest difference is probably his state of mind; the threats and pressures he is facing now are obviously not that great.The imperial power is related to the moral heaven, and the rules of the world are strict hierarchical. Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu now controls the army, and it is not easy for anyone to threaten the imperial power. When he was in Yunnan, he deeply realized this.He mainly deployed some overseas affairs and had several correspondences with the Shen family.This afternoon, Zhu Gaoxu decided to return to the harem early to discuss with the queen about expanding the harem's concubines.When he saw Guo Wei in Kunning Palace, she was wearing a yellow dress, a phoenix crown on her head, and the crystal clear jade bracelet that was "a match
During the Ming Dynasty, the monsoon in the East China Sea was northerly in March and April. It was not the best time to sail from the lower reaches of the river as the ships were sailing against the wind. If we waited until May and June, the monsoon would become southerly and the sailing would become a tailwind, which would be the best time.However, the imperial court took other factors into consideration and issued an order in mid-March to prepare the navy to leave the coast. Although it was headwind, the fleet could still sail in a zigzag pattern, but the sailing speed would be slower.The Longjiang Port west of the Outer Jinchuan Gate was very busy today, with not only the army and the court, but also many onlookers. Zhu Gaoxu also came outside the city to see everyone off.The fleet that set sail first today is the fleet heading to Japan, with only a few thousand officers and soldiers. The fleet with the most ships is the fleet heading south, which wil
Zhu Gaoxu adopted the strategy of starting small and then big and began to work on his idea.At first, it did not involve the rules and morals of the entire dynasty, nor did it change the existing power structure. He just didn't want to become like his father, Emperor Zhu Di, who imposed fear on others while living in fear for a long time, and even dared not get close to his concubines.Even so, as soon as Zhu Gaoxu did something different, he immediately received various threatening memorials.Generally, those who dared to threaten the emperor would suffer a miserable end. However, as long as the motive of "for your own good" was added, and it made some sense, the effect would be different.For example, the memorial of Xie Jin from the Hanlin Academy dissuaded the emperor from establishing the "Wubeiyuan". Xie Jin's words were very scary, saying that if the emperor were to repeat the mistakes of warlord separatism in the late Tang Dynasty, the country
Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Rites and other official offices, as well as the inner palace supervisors, arranged the canonization ceremony of the two concubines. The two ceremonies each lasted for half a day.During the process of canonizing Concubine Zhuang Li Xianhui, she and Zhu Gaoxu seemed to have nothing to do with each other, each performing complicated etiquette in different places.During this period, Zhu Gaoxu only saw Li Xianhui once, when she came to pay homage and express her gratitude. She was wearing a fancy dress and was a little far away. Zhu Gaoxu didn't even see her clearly. Fortunately, he had seen her before.Before the canonization of Shen Baoyan, there were unpleasant sounds. Chen E, who had been buried alive for seven days and seven nights, wrote a letter disputing the identity of Shen's (Baoyan) biological father. So Zhu Gaoxu issued an order to posthumously give Shen Baoyan's late father the command of Jin Yiwei.In late Mar
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. When the series is almost finished, a pay TV station und
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
