The next morning, Le Loi and Nguyen Chien left Yanzhou on horseback and came to the bank of a river called Songlai River, which is located in the north of Yanzhou City, only a few dozen miles away.

They were accompanied by a team of guards, but only Ruan Jian and the other two looked very tired. It was because they had slept too little after their candlelight conversation last night.

The team crossed the Songlai River via a bamboo and wood arch bridge. They ran north along the road for a while and soon saw a military camp built in the mountains.

Nguyen Chien followed Le Loi and led his horse up the hill, and saw fences, earthen walls, and some huts in the bushes. The soldiers inside came to pay homage to Le Loi, and they seemed to be Le Loi's subordinates. But there were not many soldiers stationed here, perhaps only more than a hundred people.

Several people walked out of the military camp and came to a stand near the hillside, which was a piece of he

    "Da da da..." A sound of horse hooves came from the north. A rider ran towards Liu Sheng's flag and shouted, "Report!"Liu Sheng on the other side turned around, and without waiting for the knight to come closer, his eyes immediately turned to a woman behind him.The woman following on horseback was none other than Ruan, and there were two Ming army knights behind and behind her. Mrs. Ruan had already taken off the bamboo hat on her head, and she said in Chinese with a not quite standard tone, "General Liu knows me and I didn't lie to you."The knight who went to report the news had already arrived next to Liu Sheng, where he was saying something and turning to point at Ruan. Liu Sheng's eyes had already been cast on Ruan, and he did not look at the sergeant in front of him.Ruan didn't say much anymore. Since Liu Sheng saw her, he would definitely meet her.But at this time, Ruan became even more nervous. She felt as if her heart was twitching,

    It was already the end of November when Liu Sheng's victory report reached Dongguan (Hanoi).Dongguan City was decorated with lanterns and full of joy. Those who celebrated included not only the civil and military officials sent by the Ming Dynasty, but also many Annan people.Among them were the surviving wealthy families after the fall of the Hu family, the clan nobles who had taken refuge with Chen Zhengyuan's family, and the Annan people such as Ruan Gonggui and Ruan Zhi who had long since defected to the Ming Dynasty. These people wished that Chen Jikuan would be finished soon. Otherwise, if the Annan rebels gain power, they will be the ones to be liquidated; everything they gained in the past few years will of course be in vain.Zhang Fujun had long since eliminated all the enemy troops on the plains, that is, the rebels in the Yellow River Basin. He has now returned to the "Annan Governor's Mansion" in Dongguan City.At this time, there were sti

    The news of the great victory in suppressing the rebellion in Annan was sent to the capital by express horses, but the emperor and his ministers were not happy at this time, because just a few days ago, an unprecedented earthquake occurred in the capital, followed by several aftershocks.The Imperial Astronomical Observatory, which copied Zhang Heng's seismograph based on records in ancient books, failed to predict the earthquake. After the earthquake, many houses collapsed in the capital, and the city was in panic and chaos. Countless people died without knowing it. The capital of the Ming Dynasty, which was gradually becoming peaceful, suddenly suffered a heavy blow.Under the advice of his ministers, Zhu Gaoxu was forced to publicly admit that he had recently neglected rituals and sacrifices, and promised to follow the rules, fear God, be strict in governing officials, eliminate bad policies, etc., in order to appease God's anger.Although Zhu Gaoxu had a

    In the twelfth month of the first year of Wude, Zhu Gaoxu issued an edict to cancel all banquets, weddings, and singing and dancing performances until the eve of the Lantern Festival of the following year; and it was scheduled that in the first month of the second year of Wude, the combined sacrificial ceremony (praying for blessings in all four seasons, four sacrifices to heaven and earth combined into one) would be held in the southern suburbs.He also resumed the daily morning court session, showing an attitude of following the rules and catering to the will of heaven. This "active response to the wrath of heaven" satisfied both civil and military officials. The morning court session had been frequently cancelled since Emperor Taizong, and Zhu Gaoxu naturally did not hold it for several months during the Northern Expedition.A few days later, an impeachment memorial from Hu Guang, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, finally arrived.Hu Guang wrote a letter t

    This year’s Chinese New Year in the capital will be quieter than in previous years. Without fireworks, people can't celebrate, they can only offer sacrifices and reunite. However, it can be expected that the Lantern Festival in half a month will be unprecedentedly lively. After all, there are too many disasters in the world, and people cannot remain in pain.During the festival, all offices from the imperial court to the various government offices stopped working. Zhu Gaoxu no longer had to review memorials or attend morning court.Therefore, during this period, he spent a lot of time with Miao Jin, and the two often stayed in Rouyi Palace. Other people in the harem had some complaints about this, so Zhu Gaoxu had to say that Miao Jin was writing a book for him, which was a little bit of an explanation.Under the huge wooden beams of Rouyi Palace, the room with bookshelves lined along the walls still looks a bit empty.However, Zhu Gaoxu had studied he

    "Bang!" The first fireworks bloomed over Chang'an Street at the foot of the Imperial City, marking the beginning of the joyful night of the Lantern Festival in the second year of Wude.The imperial palace supervisors and the Jinyiwei set up a throne on the Hongwu Gate, and placed all kinds of snacks, sweet soups, and fine wine. Zhu Gaoxu brought the empress and concubines here, and they first enjoyed the fireworks and lights before returning to the palace to celebrate. The palace had also been newly decorated, and the concubines and maids could guess lantern riddles, play various games, and even gamble, and they could also watch singing and dancing, shadow play and other performances.However, although the lights are beautiful, the most beautiful thing is the people.Every time fireworks lit up the sky, under the colorful light, the gorgeous faces around the emperor would be reflected, each more beautiful than the other, vying for beauty.The person cl

    In the early morning mist, there was still a faint smell of pollution from fireworks.The messy items that could be seen from time to time in the imperial city that had not been cleaned up were all the remnants of the decorations and celebrations of the imperial palace on the night of the Lantern Festival. These things were not seen on ordinary days, after all, there were many people in the palace to maintain cleanliness.In view of the fact that Zhu Gaoxu had been attending various ceremonies in a proper manner and attending morning court and sacrifices diligently since the end of last year in order to appease the wrath of heaven, just after the Lantern Festival, the Cabinet Minister and Minister of Rites Hu Yi submitted a memorial requesting an imperial decree to reopen the daily lectures on the classics this spring.The Jingyan was a kind of reading activity held by the literati and the emperor after the Song Dynasty; the lecturers mainly talked about the

    In terms of personal relationship, Zhu Gaoxu and Hu Yi trusted each other.After the fall of the party that abolished the crown prince, Hu Yi was the first to be appointed as one of the ministers at the ministry level. Hu Yi also abandoned all public and private prejudices and, in accordance with the wishes of Emperor Zhu Gaoxu, presided over the matter of whitewashing Qi Tai.But at this time, both of them were cautious. Even if Zhu Gaoxu had said in advance that he would not admit his guilt and that he was innocent, it could not completely eliminate the inexplicable estrangement between them.It is said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. It is natural for Hu Yi to be so cautious. But can Zhu Gaoxu fully trust his ministers? How can he expect a scholar-official like Hu Yi to truly understand him?At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu actually sat down on the floor. The floor in the attic was made of wood and was swept very clean, but the wood was s

    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
