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
Game of the Throne Chapter 803 Snow Petals
In December, the Kyushu region of Japan had already seen a few snowfalls. When the head of the Ouchi family, Ouchi Morimi, went to Shima County, it happened to be a sunny day.Shima County belongs to Chikuzen Province, located in the northern part of Kyushu Island, west of Hakata Bay. For the Ouchi clan, this place is far away from Yamaguchi Castle in Suo Province and is a relatively remote place.To the north of the Imazu Village garden in Shima County is an arc-shaped coastline. It is neither a good port nor very prosperous; but there is a relic called "Yuankou Defense Fort" which is very famous.This was the place where the Japanese army fought a desperate battle with the invading Yuan Dynasty army more than a hundred years ago.Ouchi Morimi rode a horse and led a group of followers into a forest not far from the coast. During the war, this area should not have been in the woods; but times have changed, and now the ruins have been covered up by tree
Game of the Throne Chapter 804: Earnest Feelings
After the Lantern Festival in the third year of Wude, everything in the world came back to life, and the court began to carry out important affairs. Zhu Gaoxu had to send General Sheng Yong and other generals to Korea first; until the end of the next month, the fleet carrying the main forces of the government army and the navy would set sail from the ports downstream of the Yangtze River.The Longjiang Harbor was shrouded in a damp mist, which made today's farewell ceremony less grand. The treasure ship moored at the pier vaguely revealed its huge body and tall mast, and the looming scene was like a mirage.Zhu Gaoxu led the civil and military officials and waited in a pavilion by the river for a while, and then Sheng Yong, Ping An and Liu Sheng came. The pavilion was very small, so Zhu Gaoxu walked out in the direction where the three people were coming.Sheng Yong and several others knelt on the ground and performed the grand ceremony first.Zhu Gaox

The eunuchs and Jinyiwei soldiers surrounded the imperial carriage and drove it to Waiwulong Bridge. When the carriage stopped for a while, Pei Youzhen got off.As soon as the team passed the Wulong Bridge, they looked towards Chengtian Gate. Pei Youzhen didn't need to go to the palace at this time, so it was appropriate for him to say goodbye to the emperor here.The imperial carriage started moving again, and Pei Youzhen stood by the road, bowing to the carriage. He found that many of the civil and military eunuchs who accompanied him all looked at him strangely. No matter what their mood was, they were all paying attention to Pei Youzhen; after all, he had just been riding with the emperor.He was a plain-looking man who looked like a farmer. He once taught illiterate warriors to read and write in the Han Palace. How could he have imagined that he would have the honor and status he has today?Pei Youzhen was distracted for a moment, but soon came to
Game of the Throne Chapter 806: Immeasurable Merit
The huge fleet carrying more than 23,000 land army soldiers, weapons, ammunition and supplies had set out on time from various ports at the end of February. The fleet had hundreds of ships of various sizes, including dozens of treasure ships carrying thousands of people and equipped with thousands of kilograms of "Tian" Hanwang cannon.All ships will be assembled on the sea surface along the east coast, and then divided into five armies, commanded by Admiral Chen Xuan. Next, the army will move slowly along the coast, waiting for the monsoon to be smooth, and then leave the coast and go to Busan Town in Korea and Hakata Bay in Japan.By then, officials and civilians along the eastern coast of the Ming Dynasty will be able to witness the large ships drifting on the sea and feel the grandeur of the government army's naval power.In the early fifteenth century, no country or military alliance in the world had such a large navy and the ability to deploy more than
Game of the Throne Chapter 807: Fighting the Enemy with One Heart
There is light wind and fog on the northwest sea surface of Hakata Bay.In the early morning, before the sun came out, the gray sea was covered with white mist, like clouds floating on the sea. A Japanese warship was moving slowly on the water with its sails spread.At this moment, a clang sound came from the bow, and a sailor holding a black bowl dropped it on the ground, staring ahead in amazement. Several people were attracted and turned to look.Two huge black shadows as big as cities slowly emerged from the fog, like some strange beasts emerging from the fog. After a while, more shadows emerged from the fog. People who saw this scene were stunned for a while.Finally, a loud shout was heard from the boat, "Let me touch the chicken!" Then the sound of gongs rang out, and the whole boat was in a state of bustle and noise. The leader on the boat waved his fan and kept giving orders, asking everyone to row immediately.The wooden boat quickly be

Waves rushed onto the beach one after another, washing away gravel, broken fish bones and shells on the sand. This is the western part of Hakata Port, the sea is shallow, and there is no decent pier nearby, so it is not an ideal landing place.However, at this time, the sea was already filled with an endless fleet of ships, and many sand ships also ran aground on the beach. The officers and soldiers of the Ming Army Army were still landing one after another. The coast was busy, with all kinds of baggage and supplies everywhere, and the places where the military camps and walls were built were also filled with dust.After the general landed safely, he felt a little dizzy. He rubbed his temples while looking at a map in his hand."Do you think this picture might be drawn wrong?" Ping An asked without raising his head.Pei Youzhen, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, who was standing beside him, said cautiously, "It's roughly the same, it shoul
