The autumn in Peking is particularly bleak. The flowers, plants and trees do not change slowly like those in the south. When the autumn wind blows, they will wither and die. When the soldiers and horses enter the city, the wounded are among them, which makes the atmosphere full of murderous flavor.
As soon as Zhu Gaoxu returned home, he took off his heavy armor. The arrow marks and damage on it were the marks of his blocking many open and hidden arrows. When he took off his armor, he was a little uncomfortable for a while, as if he had no protection and a little less sense of security... However, if there were "hidden arrows" in Peking, the armor would not be able to stop it, right?
He changed into casual clothes, called Wang Gui and others, and went to Prince Yan's Mansion to report his safety to his mother.
The double-eaved gatehouse of the Prince of Yan's Palace is very majestic and somewhat similar to the imperial city. The palace was originally rebuilt
Walking out of the small courtyard where Princess Xu lived and out of the wooden door, there was a corridor and a stone path between trees, which Zhu Gaoxu had walked many times.Even when he thought of Xu Miaojin, he would always think of this road. Most of their communication took place on this road."Five or six steps ahead, there is a cracked paving stone and no one has repaired it." Zhu Gaoxu said, breaking the silence.Xu Miaojin didn't say anything. After a while, she looked down and saw a crack on a stone on the ground. She was slightly surprised and turned to look at Zhu Gaoyang. "Prince Gaoyang has a good memory. Are you counting steps?"Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and pointed to a tree with only a few leaves left on the roadside. "That tree looks like a slingshot fork. That's what I thought when I first saw it. This cracked stone is right next to it."Xu Miaojin gave a forced smile, "In ancient times, there was a 'prince who held a bullet
Just after returning to Peking, Princess Xu invited Zhu Gaoxu to have dinner. Zhu Gaoxu declined politely and said he would rest for a few days before going... When he said this, it was originally just an excuse, but within a few days he actually went.I remember that the scenery I saw in Nanjing was so beautiful, but now when Zhu Gaoxu was riding a horse and walking in the city of Peiping, his eyes were full of gray colors. The neighborhoods are also flat and vertical, very monotonous.Only the red walls of Prince Yan's Mansion add a bit of color to the city of Beiping.Zhu Gaoxu entered Prince Yan's Mansion and met Princess Xu first. But Xu Miaojin was beside him, so he didn't ask anything and only talked about some household matters. When it was time to stay in You, Princess Xu asked Zhu Gaoxu for dinner again, and Zhu Gaoxu took advantage of the opportunity and agreed.I have never seen Xu Miaojin eat with the Prince of Yan and the Princess, and to
"Ding ding, bang bang..." The sound of metal knocking continued for the whole morning.Zhu Gaoxu walked into a room with a roof over his head and saw a big man with rolled-up sleeves swinging a hammer to forge something, with a charcoal fire burning red beside him. Chen Dachui and two men were also standing in the room. They saw Zhu Gaoxu first and bowed in greeting."Bang!" Another hammer hit the chopping board.Chen Dachui turned around and said, "Zhang Junjiang, the prince is here."The military craftsman then turned around to take a look, put down the hammer, clasped his fists in salute, but said nothing."Is it almost repaired?" Zhu Gaoxu pointed at the heavy armor hanging on the wooden rack.Zhang Junjiang said, "Your Highness, your armor is made of cold-forged Qingtang iron. I couldn't find good material at the moment, so I had to repeatedly forge the material to repair it. It takes a lot of time and it will take at least five days."
Originally, Zhu Gaoxu wanted to ride a horse to the Prince of Yan's Mansion, but it suddenly started to rain, so he changed to a felt carriage.The rain was getting heavier and heavier. When he lifted the straw curtain to look, a gust of rain was blown over by the wind and splashed on his face.It was almost dusk, but not yet the evening hour, and the sky and earth were already covered in dark clouds. It seemed like it was still daytime and early in the morning, but suddenly, it seemed like night was about to fall... It was completely unprepared.The rain was drifting in the wind, and from a distance it looked like wisps of white smoke. The vision became blurred, and even the gate tower of Prince Yan's Mansion was dim and could not be seen clearly.A small group of horsemen guarding Zhu Gaoxu, all wearing straw hats and raincoats, were traveling in the rain, which looked mysterious.When the carriage entered the gatehouse, the eunuch stepped forw
People living in the capital city look at Zhongshan Mountain, and are fascinated by the mountains towering in the clouds like a fairyland, and always want to climb the mountain themselves.Xu Huizu and Fang Xiaoru were no exception. After making an appointment, they climbed up Zhongshan Mountain during their ten-day holiday."Huff, huff..." When Fang Xiaoru climbed up with his back bent, his breathing was like a bellows. He pressed his hands on the ground, as if he was climbing up, and finally straightened up with great difficulty.Xu Huizu took a deep breath and then calmed down. He looked at Fang Xiaoru with a smile and said, "Doctor Fang is not feeling well!"Fang Xiaoru waved his hands and almost sat down. He glanced at Xu Huizu and saw that Xu Huizu was standing there straight and tall as if nothing had happened, so he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.After resting for a while, Fang Xiaoru stood on a high place and looked at the entir
In late October, the city of Cangzhou was bustling with activity."The King of Yan is mighty! Mighty!" Countless soldiers shouted, and the earth-shaking shouts rose and fell one after another, and the battle was very magnificent. Inside and outside the ruined city walls, the Yan army's infantry and cavalry were surging everywhere.The King of Yan rode into the city on a tall horse, surrounded by a large crowd, his cloak fluttering in the wind. The horse swaggered towards the corridor, and the King of Yan held his head high. When he looked up, he saw flags of the Yan army planted everywhere on the city walls.A group of civil and military officials knelt on both sides, trembling with fear. Governor Xu Kai was tied up, and several people pressed him to his knees on the ground.Zhang Yu's face flushed as he said excitedly, "Your Highness, there are a large amount of supplies and food in the city. This time we will even have food and food!"Prince Ya
The white fog was entangled between everything. The visibility was not high this morning, and Zhu Gaoxu and others did not dare to follow closely. Fortunately, the carriage was a big target, otherwise they would definitely lose it.The car coming out of Chiyue Temple went west.Zhu Gaoxu had arranged for Wang Gui to capture Xu Miaojin's whereabouts since July, and now it was the beginning of December, which was nearly five months! Later, Zhu Gaoxu pulled himself out and even stayed at Chiyue Temple for several days.If you don't have obsession, you will never be able to stick to such a thing.What kind of emotion was lingering in his heart? Zhu Gaoxu himself was not even clear about it, but he could conclude that although the emotion was not as intense as crying and wailing, it was buried very deep, like the continuous drizzle for many days, completely soaking the soil.The carriage that Chi Yueguan came out of had already left the city from Zhan
Zhang Sanfeng should be over 150 years old. Many people said they had seen him, but none of Zhang Sanfeng's appearances could stand the test.Xu Miaojin was no exception. She had never met Zhang Sanfeng. Her experiences and stories were all made up by her father. Before Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, her experiences had already begun to be embellished; at that time, Jianwen and the people around him were already very afraid of the power of Prince Yan, and had already laid out many clever and unwise preparations to reduce the power of the princes.As a chess piece of theirs, Xu Miaojin's skill is unknown, but she was indeed well-laid and laid out very early. In addition, her father secretly cooperated and pretended to be on good terms with the King of Yan during the Hongwu period, so it was really difficult for anyone to find out clues about her identity.It was not until the end of last year that Xu Miaojin learned that Xu Kong's family had been arrest
