Zhu Gaoxu entered the inner city from Yanque Lake and then returned to the palace. The afternoon sun was still very bright.
Zhu Gaoxu had nothing to do today, so he chose a day to leave the palace. He could have returned to the palace later, just before the inner city was closed. But he was driven out by Ma Enhui.
Usually, almost all women were submissive and flattering towards Zhu Gaoxu. After getting used to this, he was very surprised and uncomfortable when he suddenly encountered something like today.
But he didn't do anything, and didn't even force Ma Enhui, and went back to the palace. Compared with the kindness and affection between the two, this matter certainly didn't make Zhu Gaoxu angry, he was just a little confused.
It was still early, so Zhu Gaoxu spent the afternoon in the East Warm Pavilion, where he reviewed memorials and did some work.
He didn't pay much attention to most government affairs and approved them casually. During thi
"It's great to see you when I open my eyes in the morning." A somewhat confused voice said in Zhu Gaoxu's ear.Zhu Gaoxu felt the warmth of her breath on his neck, looked at the top of the bed tent and lay there for a while, then turned around and smiled, "Where is your usual aloof self? I feel like you're becoming more and more clingy. We don't seem like people who have known each other for so many years."Imperial Concubine Miao Jin hugged him and said softly, "Yes."Zhu Gaoxu thought for a moment and said, "I have to get up. I have a lot of things to do today. The morning court and the imperial lecture have been going on for more than half a year, and the ministers are very satisfied. Wang Jinghong and others who went to the West are back, and I have to give them a regular banquet at noon."Miao Jin turned her head to look at the light that was faintly coming in from outside the curtains, then stretched out her smooth jade-white arms to open the bed
Since yesterday afternoon, Yao Ji has been staying with Zhu Gaoxu in the East Warm Pavilion, and in the evening she was in the Xianfei Palace. When she woke up the next morning, she found that Zhu Gaoxu was not around. After asking the palace maids, she found out that he was still in the Xianfei Palace and was running outside after getting up.Yao Ji got up, tidied herself up a little, put on a thin silk robe over her undergarments, and walked outside the bedroom. As expected, she heard footsteps and panting.It was still dark, but there was still light in the stone lampstand beside the brick road. Under the dim light, a burly figure was seen running up and down. That person was of course Zhu Gaoxu. He was panting as he ran, but his breath was very even and strong.After a while, Zhu Gaoxu ran over. He was wearing a gray cotton short coat and loose trousers underneath. It seemed to be very hot, his face was covered with sweat, and his clothes were wet with s
After Wang Jinghong left, Zhu Gaoxu and Miao Jin were the only ones left in the huge palace.Zhu Gaoxu was still lost in thought for a while, then he clapped his hands on the files and memorials in front of him, raised his head and exhaled, meeting Miao Jin's gaze.He looked at her and smiled. The smile had no special meaning, but he had no reason to be in a bad mood when he saw that the imperial concubine was so charming and caring about him. Such a subtle feeling.But Miao Jin stood up and said , "I'm going to find a book to read. Your Majesty, don't pay attention to me.""It's okay, I don't have anything to do right away." Zhu Gaoxu said, "Sometimes the feeling of having nothing to do is really good."Miaojin also looked at him and smiled.After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked around in the spacious and bright hall. The sunny weather makes the place very bright and clean, and the fragrance of osmanthus can still be faintly s
Qitai was sitting on a stool when he saw Zhu Gaoxu stood up from the chair and paced there with his hands behind his back. The imperial concubine was also standing, looking at Zhu Gaoxu. Qitai hesitated for a while, and finally sat on the stool without moving.After Zhu Gaoxu stood up, people felt a sense of pressure. He doesn't look very elegant like some people in robes, but has a sense of stability. His broad shoulders and chest hold up the tight outline of the silk, and the robes make his body appear taller. He had his hands behind his back and seemed to be meditating on something."I don't want to say anything about responsibility or selflessness. The main reason is that if I say too much, it will appear false." Zhu Gaoxu's voice said.Even the imperial concubine Miaojin smiled when she heard these words.Qi Tai suddenly felt a little ashamed. He guessed that the emperor seemed to want his trusted ministers to understand; but Qi Tai had no idea ho
"Brother Gao, I know that kind of place should be quite expensive. Is the salary of a third-rank official high?" Yao Fang asked curiously in the carriage.Gao Xianning said calmly, "Brother Yao has been an official before, so he should know about the salary. However, the King of Shu would ask someone to send some gifts from time to time, so I am quite well off now."Yao Fang glared after hearing this, and then said, "Thank you, Brother Gao, for treating me like a brother. Don't worry, I will just pretend I didn't hear anything."Gao Xianning smiled and said, "Your Majesty also knows, I said it."Yao Fang was speechless.The two of them arrived at Zuixianlou and entered a spacious suite. Two plates of dried fruits, a plate of oranges, and a wine jug and cups were already placed in the middle, but the dishes had not yet arrived. From the back window, one could see the pleasure boat floating on the Qinhuai River. There were small rest rooms on both
Several days had passed since Qi Tai met with Gao Xianning and talked about Xianfei's brother Yao Fang's trip to Tsushima Island in Japan.Today, Qitai came home from work early. He looked excited and walked very fast. So much so that when his young wife saw him, she smiled and asked what good things happened to her today.Qitai brought back a painting, a fake of Snow Creek Late Crossing; he searched for it in pawn shops, calligraphy and painting shops, and antique shops for several days, and finally found it today. He was inexplicably excited to suddenly obtain this thing, even if it was just a fake.By the time Mrs. Qi Yang Yuniang came in with tea and water, Qi Tai had been sitting on a chair, looking at the painting for a while. Yang Yunniang gently placed the teacup on the table without daring to disturb him.Qi Tai suddenly asked, "Yunnan cooked tea?"Yun Niang said, "My husband has a really sharp nose.""New tea?" Qitai turned around
After the Ming army captured Tsushima Island in the name of conquering Japanese pirates, no important events there were reported to the court, as if that was the end of the matter. Zhu Gaoxu's purpose is of course not this. Just occupying Tsushima Island has no meaning to him.Perhaps he was too impatient. After all, in this era, diplomatic relations might only change after several years. But Zhu Gaoxu really couldn't calm down and wait.Because the initial goal of his foreign strategy was to establish order in all areas east of the Strait of Malacca, it was impossible for Japan alone to wait for several years, or even ten or twenty years.Zhu Gaoxu decided to issue an imperial decree and summon ministers to discuss the war against Japan.The court deliberation system formed since the Hongwu period has not changed much to this day, and it well reflects the emperor's centralization of power.The process was that the ministers discussed a major eve
The court meeting held at the Imperial Gate the next morning produced a conclusion as expected.The ministers all had various reasons for dissuading Zhu Gaoxu; but because Qi Tai mentioned the point of "necessity" yesterday, Zhu Gaoxu felt that all the ministers' reasons could be attributed to this.There were indeed a few dukes and nobles who supported the expedition against Japan, but their reasons were not convincing. After all, court discussions were the highest level of substantive discussions, and the more loyal you were, the more reasonable you were."Your Majesty, we ask for your wise judgment." Qi Tai's voice came from the bottom of the stairs.Zhu Gaoxu sat on the high throne and didn't say a word for a long time. It was cloudy and drizzling today, and the weather was not so bright without the sun. There was no light in the imperial gate in the broad daylight, so the light seemed a little dim. So his expression and posture were a little casua
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
