Chapter 820: Summer Cicadas
Last Updated:
2024-08-03 14:45:33Before Liu Ming arrived in Kyoto, Muromachi-dono had already received the letter from the Ming army, and the contents of the letter were also known to Muromachi-dono and his subordinates.
More than a month passed, but Ashikaga Yoshimochi and others did not respond. It was because they were in a dilemma and had no choice.
In June, the Sanjo-bo residence was lush with vegetation. The chirping of cicadas and summer insects seemed to reflect Ashikaga Yoshimochi's state of mind. Even if he closed the door to visitors, he could not find a moment of peace.
The sun has already set, but it will be even more lively in the evening. Perhaps only in the second half of the night will there be no disturbance here.
Ashikaga Yoshimochi sat on the observation deck in the backyard, gazing at the clouds in the sky, the houses and the plants for a long time, attempting to comprehend a solution from Neo-Confucianism, psychology, or Zen Buddhism, but it seemed all in vain.

Muromachi finally agreed to the peace proposal. The two sides decided to sign the treaty in Yamashiro Province in the "Kinai" area and hold a ceremony to enthrone the Japanese king.The Ming Empire seemed to have already decided to do this, and they were well prepared. Liu Ming, the Ming envoy, claimed that they only needed to wait a few days and send someone back to Hakata Bay to invite Zhou Quan, the "official envoy to Japan," to hold the ceremony. This was because the gold book and seal of Japan were in the hands of the eunuch Zhou Quan.After some preparations, both sides led their troops to Yamashiro Province, which was located south of Kyoto, and the ceremony took place in front of Ishiki Hachimangu Shrine.Outside the shrine, a camp-like area was formed with silk cloth. There was a platform on the top, and the Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimochi was on the platform. Below, officials from the Ming Dynasty delegation and Japanese civil and military nobles from t

Eunuch Zhou Quan and a large group of people have left Yamashiro Province and are at the Yodogawa Pier in Naniwa-kyo.The Muromachi-dono Shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimochi, was assassinated. When the news was being passed to the Kinki countries, someone came to tell the Ming envoys. The situation suddenly became tense. In addition to the eunuchs and civil officials in the delegation, the guards were of a lower rank, so several civil officials and eunuchs discussed countermeasures at the dock.There seemed to be some debate among the delegation members about what to do next.Everyone did not board the ship immediately and leave this dangerous place; the reason was that the person who came to reveal the news was the envoy of Uesugi Zenhide, a retainer of the Kanto Kanrei who had taken the lead in contacting the Ming army last time.But the guarding general didn't care about that. He did not participate in military decision-making and was busy performing his own

When the news of the signing of the Treaty of Yamashiro and the assassination of Ashikaga Yoshimochi reached Kyushu Island, Ouchi Morimitsu was inevitably sad despite his joy.Ouchi Morimitsu's sadness was due to his sympathy for the assassinated Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimochi. People often judge heroes by their success or failure, but Ouchi Morimitsu believed that Yoshimochi, who was abandoned by all forces, could have governed Japan well.Even a wise man like Ashikaga Yoshimochi, who can see the situation clearly, may not necessarily have a solution.Ouchi Morimitsu recalled that when he went to Kyoto before the war, he met Yoshimune, Yoshimochi's brother. Ouchi Morimitsu felt a little abrupt when he suddenly saw Yoshimune. Only now did he realize that General Yoshimochi seemed to have realized the consequences of today a long time ago. Yoshimochi wanted Yoshimune to be his successor and to get the support of some powerful guardians.General Yoshimochi h

The capital of the Ming Dynasty was still hot in early autumn. People stood by the river, feeling the breeze from the river, and finally felt a little cool.Gao Xianning, the Minister of the Dali Temple, and his men were waiting at the Longjiang Port dock for the boxes from a large ship to be unloaded one after another. They carefully took out six improved six-wheeled hourglasses from the cotton-filled boxes. There were already two hourglasses on the dock.This large ship also departed from Longjiang Port, sailed along the Yangtze River to the Sichuan Provincial Administration, then went north along the Tuojiang River and observed the sun's shadow in Zizhou; then it sailed back to the capital along the original route.When Gao Xianning went forward to observe, he found that the scales of the six hourglasses were all different; compared with the two hourglasses placed in Longjiang Port, none of them were the same.A look of disappointment immediately ap

In late July, Sheng Yong's memorial finally reached the capital. However, there was no surprise news such as "discovery of a large silver mine", but there was some surprise. The Muromachi shogun Ashikaga Yoshimochi was assassinated, and the Ming court was likely to re-ennoble a man named Ashikaga Yoshitsugu as the King of Japan, with additional conditions.In addition to the Japanese, those who later entered Beijing included the Ming official Liu Ming and the official army's guard team.They took a boat from Hakata Bay and came to the capital by sea, so they entered the city from the Outer Jinchuan Gate and headed towards the imperial city in the southeast direction.The bridges south of the Imperial College were bustling with people in the afternoon. People were attracted by the group of people and gathered on the side of the road to watch.Among the crowd was Jinyiwei Northern Pacification Envoy Du Erlang, who was also on his way to the imperial city

A few rays of sunset glow froze on the horizon, seeming to merge into one with the quiet yellow tiles and red walls on the ground.In the Shufei Palace of the West Six Palaces, there was no dust on the brick and stone floor, which must have been swept every day; but there were still many dead leaves on the ground. When Zhu Gaoxu stepped on the dead leaves, he could clearly hear the sound of "crackling".On the road ahead, Du Qianrui finally came to greet him with a group of followers. She reached out to brush her hair, adjusted her makeup, and then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am late to welcome you. Please forgive me.""No thanks." Zhu Gaoxu said casually, reaching out to hold her arm.Du Qianrui stood up straight and said, "I was in the kitchen just now. I didn't know the time well, so I'm in a hurry now."Zhu Gaoxu asked, "You still cook for us yourself?""Your Majesty, aren't you praising my craftsmanship? You are telling the t

Inside the Wuying Hall, the main hall is the most magnificent building.Under the blue sky and white clouds, the glazed tiles on the top of the single-hip roof glow with brilliant yellow light, the golden dragon paintings on the eaves show respect, and the colorful world seems like a fairy palace. The upturned brackets show a certain graceful and elegant temperament.Originally, Wuying Hall and Wenhua Hall were two symmetrical buildings with similar functions. However, everything is always changing. Today, Wuying Hall has become the central place for court officials to make decisions under the imperial power, while Wenhua Hall is a place for reading and storing books. Just like the former Secretariat, it has now disappeared.The cabinet ministers on duty here were mostly the heads of various government offices, and sometimes the junior officials such as the assistant minister and the junior minister took turns on duty. When the ministers did not make decisio

It was easy for Qi Tai to meet him. Every morning after the imperial court and the imperial court, the emperor would be either in the Rouyi Hall or the Dongnuan Pavilion; the ministers could usually see him as long as they asked the eunuchs to inform them. The emperor maintained closeness to his courtiers, which was conducive to political coordination and people's coordination, and not to block the hearing and hearing.Looking back on what the current emperor has done since he ascended the throne, he has a clear mind and a clear sense of proportion in eradicating enemy leaders and tolerating the majority. Qi Tai often felt that if the emperor just wanted to be a wise king and maintain the government, it would not be difficult. Nowadays, he can even gradually win over most civil servants and describe himself as the emperor of Yao and Shun who was diligent and caring for the people, and as wise as Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.In addition to the emperor's own

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
