Chapter 781 Ambition
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
Game of the Throne Chapter 783: Live Another Five Hundred Years
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
Game of the Throne Chapter 784: Farewell
"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
Game of the Throne Chapter 785 Reform
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
Game of the Throne Chapter 786 Necessary
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
Game of the Throne Chapter 787 The Emperor’s New Clothes
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

When Yao Fang turned back from the pier of Hakata Port (today's east of Fukuoka City), her face was frozen by the wind blowing from the sea.The group of people came from Tsushima Island. The sailing distance was not far. They sailed in the southeast direction. After passing Iki Island, they quickly arrived at Hakata Port.The official envoy was not Yao Fang, but Qian Xili, a civil servant from the Xingren Department. In addition, there were more than ten people including military generals from hundreds of households, guards, translators, and officials. As a businessman, Yao Fang had no status and was originally not allowed to come; but Yao Fang insisted on coming.Yao Fang knew the military commander Ouchi Katsu in Hakata, as well as the Han monks in various temples. He secretly decided to take advantage of this trip to meet those people and learn more about them.Qian Xili was a Jinshi who passed
Game of the Throne Chapter 789: North Korean Ship
The Ming Dynasty sand ship in Hakata Port had been moored at the dock for three days. When the sailor Wu Shun went ashore to purchase supplies, he found a good place. It was an inn where you could take a bath in a wooden barrel, called Xintian.There was a person in the inn who could speak a little Chinese and said that the inn was originally in Nanba (Osaka). Ten years ago, the Kamakura Shogunate launched an uprising in Sakai Castle, and the war affected the nearby Nanba-kyo, so they moved to Hakata to do business.In short, the inn was wonderful, and they were willing to accept Ming copper coins, so the goods were good and the prices were low. Wu Shun would sneak here whenever he had the chance.Three days later, two warriors came from Hakata City and told the people on the ship that Qian Shijun and others would return to the ship and set sail the next morning. They asked the people on the ship to pack their belongings in advance, gather the crew, and make
