At the turn of spring and summer, it is the season of green, fat, red and thin, and the scene of the Ming Dynasty capital is full of lush vegetation and vitality.
There are only a few trees next to the inclined corridor outside Qianqing Palace, which also attracts birds to stay, and they "chirp" among the branches and leaves. Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting in the Dongnuan Pavilion, heard the chirping of birds and had the illusion that he "didn't feel like he was living in a densely populated imperial city".
He soon became a little irritated by the chirping of birds, because the eunuch Cao Fu came in to report the matter and mentioned that Chen Xianzhen was about to enter Beijing with Hou Hai, Pei Youzhen, Liu Ming and others.
Cao Fu narrated for a while and then said, "My servant asked Zhang Sheng, and the accompanying Jin Yiwei reported that this matter was the intention of Xincheng Hou Zhang Fu."
"I know." Zhu Gaoxu said.
Zhu Gaoxu has known Zhang
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that he was a little cruel.But he still couldn't help it, turned his head to look at the curtain in front of the ear room door, and said, "General Ruan, come out."When Chen Xianzhen heard this, his face suddenly changed, and his expression seemed to be frozen on his face. Various emotions such as shock, worry, and luck seemed to be intertwined and changed subtly with extremely subtle amplitudes that were difficult to detect.There was a dead silence in the room, and the curtains hung there quietly, without any movement. Chen Xianzhen followed Zhu Gaoxu's gaze and looked towards the ear room. She seemed to have held her breath.After a long while, Ruan Jingyi finally opened the curtain and quietly walked out of the ear room. When Chen Xianzhen saw that "General Ruan" was indeed Ruan Jingyi, her cheeks twitched slightly.Eunuch Cao Fu and Zhu Gaoxu remained silent.Zhu Gaoxu just observed silently, as if the Taoist p
In such a good season, the spring ploughing has passed and the summer busy season has not yet arrived, the weather is warm and sunny. It is not too much for the emperor and empress, who are role models for the world, to occasionally come to the old palace of the King of Han and have some leisure time.The royal family members played in the back garden for a while, and then came to the theater. After a rest with some tea, they could enjoy the opera prepared by the Jiaofangsi.Zhu Gaoxu also came over. He was sitting in an upper room with Guo Wei. The concubines were also in other rooms of the theater, waiting on them. But Zhu Gaoxu was a little distracted, and couldn't help but still thinking about what happened between Chen Xianzhen and Ruan Jingyi.The two men sat on the armchair, separated by a small wooden coffee table; the eunuch Cao Fu had already returned, and the other eunuchs standing by were Huang Gou.At this time, Guo Wei asked carefully and
That day in the old mansion, after Zhu Gaoxu met Ruan Jingyi and Chen Xianzhen, it was two days before he asked about Ruan Jingyi's recent situation.At this time, there were two people around Zhu Gaoxu in the East Warm Pavilion, one was the eunuch Cao Fu who was reporting the news, and the other was the virtuous concubine Yao Ji. Yao Ji was asked by Zhu Gaoxu to come to the East Warm Pavilion to serve Wen Mo.It is said that after Yao Ji's elder brother Yao Fang gave the book "Collection of Science Translations of Various Countries" to the Shouyu Sinan Office, some officials respectfully called Yao Fang Mr. Yao when they saw him; he transformed from a mere warrior into a learned man, and some literati even suggested that he build an academy to give lectures, perhaps he could establish a school and become famous. The literati took Neo-Confucianism as their foundation, but there were always scholars who would not reject new knowledge.In the East Warm Pavilio
The Ming fleet has arrived at Tsushima Island, consisting of more than 20 warships of various sizes. In addition to the 15 Ming warships, there are also some Korean ships accompanying them.Two 2,000-ton treasure ships in the navy floated on the narrow sea of the "front port" of Tsushima Port. Their scale was extremely shocking, like two cities floating on the water.The treasure ship "Yin" was the flagship of the fleet. The chief envoy, the eunuch Zhou Quan, the commander of the land army, Wan Liang, as well as the Jinshi civil officials of the Beijing Xingren Division and the military generals of the Jinyiwei were all on this ship, in addition to more than 200 officers and soldiers of the land army.Wan Liang was not in charge of commanding the naval battle. When he walked to the deck of the bow and looked at the sea surface of the harbor, the naval battle in front had already started. He heard that the Ming army's vanguard warships suddenly appeared in th
Whenever the Ming army went on a campaign, they always emphasized the importance of legitimacy. So Qian Hu Wan Liang led 300 infantry and cavalry to the front of Zong's fortress , and ordered his men to tie documents to arrows and shoot them into the city with his divine arm.The official documents were written on silk by officials from the Ministry of Travel, and a copy was also made.The article pointed out that the guardian daimyo of Tsushima Island was unjust and had long been sheltering the Japanese pirates and doing illegal things. It stated that since the Hongwu period, the Ming court had submitted letters to the Japanese shogunate many times to ban the Japanese pirates, but the Japanese shogunate ignored them or pretended to be compliant. This time, the Ming government army was "forced" to send troops to attack.The official document also made a suggestion at the end, requiring Souji to lead his troops out of the city and surrender, in which case he
The remnants of the enemy army finally retreated, and the remaining few foot soldiers fled into the ruins.The Ming army's vanguard was also in a state of confusion. Some people took the opportunity to catch their breath. Before they could straighten out their ranks, a group of Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared next to the broken wall in front of them. Someone shouted, "Chicken House!" A group of short people started to charge forward, screaming wildly.At this time, the sound of brass instruments rang out from behind, and someone shouted, "Wan Qian Hu Ling, the vanguard team retreat!""Retreat!" the general in the crowd shouted, and everyone immediately gave up fighting in formation and turned around and retreated. The two sergeants who were supporting the wounded soldier glanced at the musketry team behind them and hurriedly dragged the wounded soldier to the side of the pile of earth and rocks to avoid it.The Japanese troops swarmed in, and almos
June is the rainy season in Annan, but today the weather is clear and the sun is shining brightly.A group of people from the capital of the Ming Dynasty had already passed the area controlled by the Lang Son Guard. The road under their feet was under the jurisdiction of the Beijiang Prefecture. Everyone in the group wore straw hats and rode horses. They were all sweating profusely. The sweat mixed with the dust raised by the post road made everyone's face covered with dust and dirt. In addition to Nguyen Jingyi, there were eunuchs and soldiers of the Jinyiwei in the team."Chichi..." The rice fields on both sides of the post road were filled with the noise of various insects and the croaking of frogs. There was no sign of human beings under the scorching sun, but the environment was quite noisy.The eunuch who accompanied him was called Meng Ji, a Semu man. His face was very different from that of the Han people, with a more three-dimensional outline, curly
When the general Huang Zhong went to see Nguyen Jingyi, Nguyen Jingyi was asleep in a corridor room in the Governor's Mansion.Perhaps because he had traveled all the way to Dongguan (Hanoi), Nguyen Jingyi was really tired. The hot afternoon weather also made him drowsy, so he leaned on a chair and fell into a deep sleep. However, he did not sleep well, not only was his posture not very comfortable, but he also had nightmares one after another.The feeling in a dream is different from that when awake. The time and scenes in a dream are floating and jumping, which makes the various feelings clearer; while when awake, we pay more attention to the present.He seemed to see his late father, whose expression was sad and bleak, hinting that his death was as light as a feather. He seemed to see Chen Xianzhen, who was a little girl in a white dress at one moment and a beautiful woman at another. Ruan Jingyi thought she was beautiful the moment before, but the next m
