Chapter 721: Fishing in Troubled Waters
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
Game of the Throne Chapter 723 Departure
The light rain was blowing in the wind, and the sky was gray in the damp morning. The light was not very bright, and the palace, the grass and the trees seemed to have a dull color. The people in the palace followed the sound of the bells and drums and determined that it was sunrise.Over at Fengtian Gate, the emperor, who had come from the land of gentleness, must be receiving the worship of officials. The rain did not affect the morning court, but people were allowed to wear raincoats and perform the ceremony in the brick square outside Fengtian Gate in the rain.From the imperial palace to the whole world, people should start doing their own things at this moment. They go out at sunrise and go to bed at sunset, and people and nature keep the same rhythm.The eunuchs were no exception. Cao Fu, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Kitchen, was not on duty with the emperor today, but he had his own things to do. Cao Fu, neatly dressed and wearing a red and b
Game of the Throne Chapter 724 No Need to Fear
The eunuch Cao Fu walked out of the Rouyi Palace holding a green oil-paper umbrella at an angle. He was going to meet Zhu Gaoxu and report the results of his mission. In the rainy weather, the umbrella had to be tilted to prevent the head and face from getting wet.Previously, he had insulted Chen Xianzhen in front of the Queen of Annan, but it was far from enough to calm him down. Cao Fu was not like Wang Jinghong and the others who wanted to do something big and leave a name in history books. He just wanted to feel comfortable. Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest Chen Xianzhen dared to make him so angry.Cao Fu pondered for a while, then quickened his pace and walked towards Fengtian Gate. Cao Fu had not stayed in Rouyi Palace for too long in the morning, so he guessed that the morning court had not yet ended, and the emperor should be in Fengtian Gate to attend to government affairs.Walking eastward along the brick square outside the main gate of Rouyi Palac
Game of the Throne Chapter 725: Like a Spring Breeze
Duan Xuehen had never changed her name, and ordinary people who didn't know the inside story really didn't know that she and Mu Zhen were cousins. Even that lady Xu didn't know about this.But the emperor obviously knew. So the Xianpin Park in the palace lived in the same palace with Li Xianhui; the Depin Duan Xuehen lived in the same place with the Imperial Noble Consort Mu Zhen. This arrangement was not without reason. The emperor also generally followed the rules, which made the concubines in the palace get along better. Subtle intrigues were inevitable, but the contradictions were far from intensified.Xu Niang's words were so pitiful that Duan Xuehen felt sympathy for her and agreed to help her introduce the Imperial Noble Consort. But Xu Niang probably didn't know that it would be more effective for Duan Xuehen to lobby the Imperial Noble Consort; Xu Niang was just lucky and happened to find the right person.Duan Xuehen asked Xu Niang to wait while he
Game of the Throne Chapter 726: The Chaotic Shogunate
By May of the first year of the Wude reign, the temperature in the capital was getting hotter and hotter. The fleet led by Hou Xian had been away from the capital for almost two months.Zhu Gaoxu thought of this from time to time, and guessed that Zhou Quan and others who were sent to Japan should have arrived in Japan long ago, and they might be investigating the situation that Zhu Gaoxu needed. Japan is a neighboring country of the Ming Dynasty, but the court knew too little about it before; the emperor and ministers of the Jianwen Dynasty even got the actual ruler of Japan wrong at the beginning.Zhu Gaoxu's first impression was that Japan had a large number of gold and silver mines. The famous Kinkakuji Temple was a witness to this, as the entire building was actually covered with gold foil.Unexpectedly, the court soon received Hou Xian's urgent report. The messenger took the Liaodong land post road and sent the report to the capital by express horse.
Game of the Throne Chapter 727 The Sea Wind Rises Again
In the southern part of Annan, at the mouth of the Majiang River, a huge Ming army fleet was floating on the sea.Under the dark clouds, heavy rains were flying, and the waves stirred up by the wind and rain were no longer blue, but black. The countless rolling black waves made people's scalps numb, and the originally beautiful sea revealed a hideous and terrifying face.However, the rain did not last long, and soon the wind and rain gradually subsided. The dark clouds dispersed a little, and the sun suddenly appeared from behind the clouds, which was really unpredictable.When Wang Jinghong saw that the wind and waves had subsided, he led a group of people off the treasure ship and boarded several small boats to go ashore. There was no one on the shore, and no one from Chen Jikuo came to greet them.Logically speaking, it should be easy for Chen Jikuan's men to get here.A few years ago, the Ming Dynasty had a civil war, and the number of Ming t
Game of the Throne Chapter 728: Incoherent Scenes
Night has fallen, and the house illuminated by oil lamps is a little dim.Suddenly the surroundings were as bright as daylight, and after a flash, a loud "click" sound came, and then the sound of rain outside became noisy. Everything is very rushed and seems impetuous.Liu Ming, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, was still in the house. He was pacing up and down on the ground with no intention of escaping. Shocking lightning and thunder interrupted his steps. He stood still and glanced out the window, then lowered his eyes and pondered something.Amidst the noisy rain, there was a faint cry. After a while, several followers rushed into the side room with swords in their hands, and they immediately closed the doors and windows. When Liu Ming saw this, he immediately understood: What was supposed to come has indeed come!One of the followers turned around and said, "Master Liu, be careful, there is an assassin! One of our brothers has been hit by an arrow."
Game of the Throne Chapter 729: The Will for Peace
The distance from Thanh Hoa to Dongguan is only over 300 li.

Later, he found Nguyen Tri, an Annan official in Dongguan.Within two days, Liu Ming and Huang Zhong wrote memorials, and the military commanders of the Jinyiwei North Division and the Guards North Division stationed in Dongsheng also wrote memorials; all parties described what happened in Annan and their own views. The Governor's Office then sent a messenger to deliver the urgent report to the capital at an expedited speed of 800 miles...In June, the capital was scorching hot.During the day when the sun was shining brightly, Zhu Gaoxu rarely went out. He chose to work in Rouyi Hall, which was more spacious and ventilated. Today's memorials had been delivered in the morning; but at this time, the eunuch Wang Gui was outside the ha
