Chapter 754: Sit back and wait.
"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.

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 calligraphy awarded to Hu Guang was a bit crude. The five characters were written on a piece of ordinary rice paper that was a bit wrinkled. Perhaps the ink was not properly handled after writing, so the character "飞" was a bit smudged.Fortunately, the emperor's handwriting was so smooth that it was not an exaggeration to call it calligraphy. Eunuch Wang Gui also gave a reasonable explanation, saying that this was the paper that the emperor used to practice calligraphy, so it was reasonable that it was not so perfect. Of course, the most important thing was that these words were written by the emperor.Earlier, the eunuchs of the Imperial Household Department and the Jinyiwei came to the Qianbu Gallery, and Hu Guang had to express his gratitude to the emperor. Soon, many officials from the Hanlin Academy came to congratulate him, and everyone knew the content of the imperial calligraphy. Hu Guang promised to ask a carpenter to make a box of the right size, an

The prisoner presentation ceremony had already been prepared. The main reason why it was not held on that day was that Liu Sheng's timing for escorting the prisoners into the city was not appropriate, so the ceremony was scheduled for tomorrow morning.Wang Gui, the eunuch of the Imperial Household Department, met with the officials of the Honglu Temple by order, and after a private communication, he met Zhu Gaoxu again in the Rouyi Hall. Wang Gui wanted to inform the emperor Zhu Gaoxu and the etiquette process of tomorrow in advance, because it was Zhu Gaoxu's first time to participate in the captive offering ceremony.Fortunately, the program Zhu Gaoxu was responsible for was relatively simple and did not require rehearsal. He was mainly responsible for sitting in the upper seat and accepting people's worship. His lines were only one sentence, a concise and easy-to-remember two-word phrase.The captured Annan rebel prisoners have been taken to the imperial

As dusk gradually enveloped the palace, Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the Rouyi Palace, got into his sedan chair, and prepared to go back to the harem. Until now, the "take it" repeated many times in the morning still occasionally echoes in my mind.Tonight he should be with the wise concubine Yao Ji. Sometimes the concubines would go to bed and dress up before coming to the Qianqing Palace to meet. But today he plans to go to the Xianfei Palace, which is located in the West Sixth Palace.Someone had been sent to tell Concubine Xian in advance, so Zhu Gaoxu could have dinner as soon as he arrived at the place.Even for an emperor, his ordinary meals were not complicated, consisting of four dishes and one soup. However, these four dishes and one soup had to be delivered to Zhu Gaoxu, which required many people to handle them and went through a series of relatively complicated processes.There was almost no sound in the small room next to the dining room, and

The weather today is clear and sunny, and the light in the living room with doors and windows is very bright."Excuse me." Ma Enhui stood up and took off her wide-sleeved top, folded it neatly and placed it on a cabinet, leaving only her tight-fitting corset. Then she began to pour tea, without the cover of her robe, her delicate movements and every step were presented to Zhu Gaoxu.The tea trickled from a pot of brewed tea into a small cup. Then Ma Enhui poured the tea from the small cup into another small cup.Zhu Gaoxu did not drink the tea at this time. Ma Enhui drank the tea that was prepared with great difficulty. However, he could smell the fragrance of tea, and the light smell gradually diffused in the air.Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and watched her do all this. Although it was very trivial, she had always been calm and calm. At this time, Zhu Gaoxu remembered again that she once had a lofty status.Ma Enhui glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and said,

The sunlight filtered through the window paper and sprinkled on the somewhat messy table and the chair next to it. Zhu Gaoxu felt a little stuffy sitting there. He felt the spring sunshine early, which made him feel warm and a little tired. He took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat-soaked hair, then picked up the hat on the table.Ma Enhui roughly tied her belt and smoothed her hair with her fingers. While doing these chores, she looked at Zhu Gaoxu silently.The living room was no longer filled with more than just the scent of tea; the air had lost its fresh, quiet flavor and seemed a little chaotic.She glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, exhaled weakly, and asked softly, "Did anyone hear what happened just now?"Zhu Gaoxu said, "There should be no one else in this yard."Ma Enhui stared outside blankly and said embarrassedly, "The wall doesn't seem to be very high."Zhu Gaoxu heard some waves coming from the Xuanwu Lake at this time and said, "

At dusk, Zhu Gaoxu left Shen's Mansion and returned to the palace.He was coming back from Xuanwu Gate, and there were hidden sentries of Jin Yiwei on several roads along the way, which had been deployed a few days ago. After Zhu Gaoxu left the Xuanwu Lake, he randomly selected one of the roads.Everything is peaceful. Just like the series of processes in which Ma Enhui serves tea, the greatest significance may just show the importance of Zhu Gaoxu.After Zhu Gaoxu entered the Xuanwu Gate, he climbed onto the tower on a whim. Just like when he walked out of Ma Enhui's living room and came to the lake to watch the scenery, there was no special purpose for this trip.It was such a bright day and even at sunset the sky and the earth were beautiful. The afterglow shines on the countless double eaves in the imperial city, and the glazed tiles are gorgeous. Outside the imperial city, magnificent buildings coexist harmoniously with the resurgent vegetation in
