Chapter 723 Departure
Last Updated:
2024-08-03 14:45:32The 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

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

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

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.

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

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."

The distance from Thanh Hoa to Dongguan is only over 300 li. Liu Ming went to Dongguan (Thang Long) and first met Huang Zhong, the leader of the Ming army stationed in Annan and the deputy governor of the Annan Governor's Office. 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

In the hottest hour of the afternoon, the civil and military ministers were discussing matters in front of the emperor in the Rouyi Hall, but they could not reach a complete consensus because Zhu Gaoxu did not make a clear statement.As expected, all the nobles shouted for war and killing. They were looking forward to such a war. When they learned that something happened in Annan, some generals were so emotional under their indignant speeches that people wondered if they were secretly happy.Victory in war can give military generals more say in the court; and military merit is the only reliable way for every military general to establish his own status and reputation.Dukes and marquises volunteered. He Fu, Liu Sheng and others patted their chests and said that they would not kill the rebels and bring their heads to see them; they probably just wanted to consolidate their current positions through military merit. Zhang Fu also wanted to lead the army because

The imperial court had decided to march south again, but Zhu Gaoxu was not moved by this.The military industry and transportation system he envisioned have not been established at all, and actual profits from overseas have not been seen yet; the haze of various wars has soon appeared before us.The treasury was temporarily short of cash. If the annual cash income of several million strings of cash was used to fight a war, it would probably be used up in two battles, and the official and military salaries would not have to be paid. Therefore, if Zhu Gaoxu wanted to go to war, he could only rely on the existing ruling system, which meant adding a heavy burden to the people and military households in various places.Under a ruling system based on corvée and land tax, foreign wars could not divert domestic conflicts, but would only have a counterproductive effect. The events at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the end of the Sui Dynasty were lessons from the past

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
Game of the Throne Chapter 1066: Accidentally Entering the Inner Room
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
Game of the Throne Chapter 1062 Chicken with Rice
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
Game of the Throne Chapter 1060: Relationship and Emotion
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
