Chapter 794: The Clever Ikkyu
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

After the Ming army wiped out the Zong clan and the Japanese pirates on Tsushima Island, the whereabouts of the envoys including Qian Xili were unknown. After that, there was no communication between the two countries.If we look at the Ming-Japan relations in the second year of Wude based on past experience, we can infer that such things would have ended up in nothing. During the Hongwu period, the relationship between the two countries was strained for a time because the Japanese delegation was suspected of being involved in the Hu Weiyong case, but nothing came of it.Because of the long distance, it is inconvenient to travel; and it is difficult for any country's court to go to war just because of the right or wrong of reason or the likes and dislikes of the upper class. After all, the cost is too high and the price is too great.Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Annan, Japan, and various chieftains in the southwestern border have repeatedly provok

Mu Zhen was also accompanied by her son Zhu Zhanqi and her concubine Duan Xuehen.The second prince Zhanqi could already walk, and was being led by Duan Xuehen, walking around with a shaky step. At this time, Mu Zhen ignored the child and just watched Duan Xuehen playing with the child.Yao Ji could tell at a glance that Concubine De was very close to the Imperial Noble Consort, because she also loved the Imperial Noble Consort's son.However, Yao Ji knew the inside story when she was in Yunnan. Duan Xuehen was supposed to have the surname Mu, but she was raised by Duan Yang, so she took the surname Duan. Duan Xuehen and Mu Zhen were cousins, and the second prince was Duan Xueh

Recently, Zhu Gaoxu has been running every night and has maintained his weight and energy. But he rarely cares about the specific affairs of the DPRK.Gao Xianning, minister of Dali Temple, recommended a sixth-grade official to Zhu Gaoxu. It is said that this person supported the reform and was quite talented.The man's name was Song Li. He was born as a supervisor of the Imperial Academy and had a low reputation. He was able to become an official because he caught up with the good times. During the Hongwu period, the court was in short supply of civil servants, and many people with no serious reputation were selected to serve as officials.Song Li served as a local official, an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and managed floods. His highest position was the Minister of Works during the Yongle period. However, he stood in the wrong place during the "Deposed Prince" period. Although Wu Dechu was exempted from the death penalty, he was demoted t

Amid the noisy sounds and smoke filled with the pungent smell of coking coal, Zhu Gaoxu wandered around. He roughly understood the process of making coins and what techniques the mint used.It's just that Zhu Gaoxu didn't fully understand the specific production process for a while, which didn't matter; just like Song Li, who was in charge of this matter, he probably didn't understand everything either. He just had to find the right person and arrange everything.Zhu Gaoxu walked out of a room and stood next to a water gate. He took out the two copper coin samples given by Song Li from his sleeve pocket and looked over them again.The exquisite copper coin has a smooth surface and bright color. There are four large characters on each side, as well as some small characters. The front side reads "Wu De Tong Bao" and the bottom has four small characters "Central Bank"; the back side reads "Tianxia Tongxing" and the bottom has a small line of numbers. Because it
Game of the Throne Chapter 799: What Went Wrong
After a long discussion in the living room in the courtyard, Zhu Gaoxu said he wanted to dust off his clothes and take a rest. He left the living room and went to another room in the courtyard, followed by two trusted eunuchs.Zhu Gaoxu changed his clothes and washed his face while the eunuchs fetched water.But Zhu Gaoxu did not show up again, so he sent Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Imperial Guard, to prepare another carriage and select some followers. After everything was arranged, he went out through the back door and left the mint.After a while, the eunuch Cao Fu went to the courtyard to announce the decree, asking the civil and military officials who were resting to follow the emperor back to the imperial city. Naturally, the emperor could no longer appear in public.Perhaps some officials would feel a little strange and suspect that the emperor was not on the imperial carriage, but it didn't matter. It was relatively easy for the emperor to
Game of the Throne Chapter 800 Willow branches by the lake
There were some willow trees planted behind the attic, near the wall. At the turn of autumn and winter, the branches still had long green leaves, but they were no longer as lively as they were in spring, and there were many dead leaves on the brick floor under the trees that had not been cleaned up in time.When Enhui saw this scene, she couldn't help but be moved, and her heart was shrouded in an elusive depression.She gently raised one arm and lowered her head to see her wrist and hand exposed from the sleeve of the light grey cotton gown. Her skin was white and still delicate like a woman's. Unfortunately, she was afraid of comparison. If she compared it with the tight skin of a teenage girl, the difference would be a little obvious.She pondered and said, "I have experienced many ups and downs over the years. I am like a withered flower and a withered willow. My family has fallen into poverty. I am just trying to make ends meet. Your Majesty, why do you
Game of the Throne Chapter 801 Hunting
Most of the emperor's public activities had symbolic meaning. For example, the annual "Plowing" ceremony at the Xiannong Altar does not produce anything, it is just a show. However, it symbolizes that the imperial court attaches great importance to agriculture and serves as an advocate and role model for billions of officials and people in the world.Another example is when Zhu Gaoxu went to inspect the mint a few days ago. He mainly paid attention to the matter itself, but he also knew that officials would have more interpretations.Now he summoned the nobles and important ministers of the court and suddenly went to Xiaohongshan for hunting; a series of actions made the courtiers more aware of what the emperor wanted to do recently.The Zhili area near Jinling is densely populated and has almost no decent hunting grounds; if the emperor likes to ride around and hunt, he would probably prefer Peiping. The place where the capital can hunt is Xiaohongshan. Whe
Game of the Throne Chapter 802 Good General
At the Xiaohongshan hunting ground, the Minister of Revenue Xia Yuanji gave advice in a tactful way, and Zhu Gaoxu understood it. Zhu Gaoxu was not unfamiliar with such admonitions. At the monthly imperial lectures, there was no shortage of officials giving advice through the words of saints and historical facts.Zhu Gaoxu paced between the bookshelves in Rouyi Hall, calmed down, and recalled Xia Yuanji's words again.He had to admit that from a certain perspective, Xia Yuanji's proposal made sense. The court had finally managed to keep the vast majority of the common people working on the land, and had even resorted to ideological control methods such as "education" to maintain the ruling order; if the new policy failed, it might have unexpected side effects.Xia Yuanji's political views also believe that the threat of nomadic civilization is the natural threat to agricultural countries like the Ming Dynasty. If one's vision is limited to the experience of
