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

    The bonfire in the night has gone out, and the world has plunged into darkness, leaving only the dim lights in the village, as if they would go out at any time.In the light of an oil lamp, Le Loi sat in front of a rough table and said to Ruan Jian in the room , "I want you to see someone." He did not ask in a questioning tone, but clapped his hands three times after he finished speaking.After a while, someone walked in. She was a graceful woman wearing a long, narrow gown and a cone-shaped hat on her head. The woman reached out and lifted the hat, revealing her face in the dim light.She was pretty, and Ruan Jian had a feeling he had seen her before, so he looked at her carefully for a while.At this time, Li Li said, "Chen Xianzhen."Ruan Jian suddenly realized something and blurted out, "Oh..."Li Li smiled and said, "You remembered?""I remember now." Ruan Jian repeated Le Loi's words, but his tone and meaning were different. He

    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
