Chapter 786 Necessary
Last Updated:
2024-08-03 14:45:33After 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

It’s already a bit cold in Kyushu Island in September. 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

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

There was a drizzle in the capital. When the wind blew, the drizzle on the Imperial Gate Square moved in waves like a ball of white mist.The scene on the square gave Zhu Gaoxu an ominous feeling. Many green umbrellas rose and fell with the morning court ceremony. This scene reminded Zhu Gaoxu of the funeral of a gangster in a movie, where there were also many umbrellas.In the late Hongwu period, Taizu showed sympathy to the court officials and allowed each official to bring an attendant into the palace during the morning court session on rainy days to hold an umbrella for the official to protect him from the rain. This rule has continued to this day, and the scene before us has come about.Zhu Gaoxu tried to simplify the etiquette as much as possible, and did not say anything except "stand up" and other lines. After the morning court was over, he immediately stood up from the chair under the yellow umbrella and came to the imperial gate. Later, officials f

Qin came out of the bedroom and wanted to go to the front yard. She looked very bad.After the news of what happened in Hakata Port, Japan came back, her father-in-law Yao Fengji hadn't eaten for two meals and didn't talk much. Qin suppressed her emotions and wanted to go to the kitchen to make some porridge for Yao Fengji.She walked along a stone road, with the wall of the house on the left and the wall on the right, forming an alley. Just as she turned the corner, she suddenly heard someone talking behind the wall.Someone vaguely said, "Isn't it fate that she will kill her husband?"When Qin heard this, she immediately stood still.The person who spoke just now should be Aunt Wang in the kitchen. Soon, another female voice said, "Don't talk nonsense." Judging from the voice, it should be a maid in the inner house. Qin Shi certainly knew her. The maid usually did some work such as washing clothes and serving tea and water.Aunt Wang said

After the imperial court was over, almost all the ministers left Fengtianmen. Several officials on duty at the Hanlin Academy have not left yet. In addition, the three important officials summoned by Zhu Gaoxu that day did not leave the imperial gate. They seemed to have something else to do.Zhu Gaoxu saw this and still stood up and left his seat. He walked out of a door on the north side, then turned to the eunuch Wang Gui beside him and said, "Go and ask Qi Tai and the other three to meet at the East Point Gate."Wang Gui responded, turned around and walked back to the imperial gate.After the emperor went to court, if he wanted to find a place to discuss secretly with his close ministers, the only place close to him was the Jiaomen on both sides of Fengtian Gate.When Emperor Jianwen summoned Huang Zicheng and others to discuss the reduction of the feudal system, it was said that they met at the East Corner Gate, probably because it was close to th

Something big seemed to have happened in Hakata, but Yao Fang didn't know everything. He had been in a small dark room in Ouchi Katsu's house for many days.The days were very difficult. In addition to being bored day after day, I was also not used to eating, mainly because I couldn't eat enough.The plate of pickled radish, the plate of dried fish, and the bowl of rice in front of Yao Fang had already been eaten by him. He picked up the kettle and poured a bowl of white water, and rinsed away the few grains of rice stuck to the bowl. , and then drank it as soup.With just such a small amount of food, Yao Fang felt nothing in her stomach. But he couldn't say anything. After all, he was in such a situation. He had food to eat and a place to hide. Ouchi Katsu had been treating him well.After Yao Fang finished eating, she placed the dishes and chopsticks at the door. The dishes and chopsticks were as clean as if they had been washed. Then he continued to

The people responsible for arresting Yao Fang were from the Akamatsu family, the chief of the samurai office.Kyoto attached so much importance to this fish that slipped through the net because they interrogated Yao Fang's identity: he was the son of a Ming marquis and the elder brother of Ming's virtuous concubine. In addition to the information obtained from the Ming envoys, the "traitorous monks" arrested in temples in Kyushu and other places also confirmed Yao Fang's identity.As early as the time of the previous shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the samurai had effectively controlled the power of temples and shrines; so Muromachi-dono had discovered earlier that some Han monks had come to the temples. Not long ago, with the order of Muromachi-dono, the samurai had arrested all those people and Han monks who were suspected of being spies.Most of the officials in Kyoto believed that Yao Fang was a relative of the Ming Dynasty and might be in charge of spies; i

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.

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
