Before noon, Zhu Gaoxu had already entered Taiping Gate from the outer city by car.
He went to Ma Enhui's Yanque Lake Residence in the morning. Ma Enhui lived there and might feel lonely during the festive season; Zhu Gaoxu went to visit her in person today, and she was indeed very surprised and relieved.
The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival is the most lively time, but Zhu Gaoxu had a banquet at night and could only leave the palace during the day.
At both ends of the Taiping Bridge on the Xiang River, candles and lanterns have been hung in the attic, and they are only lit at night, which is called the "Tree Mid-Autumn Festival". Without the lights to add to the fun, the bustling streets still seemed to be missing something.
At this moment, Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei who was riding slowly on the side of the carriage, left the team, bent down on the side of the road, and chatted with a common man. Zhu Gaoxu was looking at the scenery an
The tea had gone cold. Mao Lisheng took a long look at the sun outside the window and asked, "The capital of the Ming Dynasty has a large population and the market is bustling. Can we easily detect two thieves?"Zhu Gaoxu smiled calmly, "Mice have their own ways, cats have their own ways, and those detectives have their own ways. Most cases are not about whether they can be investigated, but whether someone pays attention to it. After all, there are always not enough people.Thieves usually have fixed residences, and the government has spies in every neighborhood where unemployed vagrants live. Besides, those people who have robbed things are eager to cash in, and pawnshops are also a good place to solve crimes. I am not in charge of criminal law and I don’t understand these methods very well; but the people in Yingtian Prefecture must be proficient in them, and they will give me face. Let’s change another cup of tea and wait."Mao Li said politely, "Lord Wa
At night, after Akizuki dressed up carefully, she really met the eunuch Cao and entered the palace from the west gate. Mori Sadanaga escorted him to a gate called "Xi'an Gate" and then had to go back.Rows of lanterns were hung under the eaves of the towers, and the night view tonight was much more brilliant than usual. There was also a river in the palace, and many palace ladies were playing by the river.The wide brick square, the towering palace dotted with candlelight, and all kinds of magnificent and beautiful scenes made Qiuyue dazzled.Before this, she had never left the "Guchu Mountain City" where she was born, had never seen such a large palace, and had never seen so many people together. In Japan, as long as you leave the small city with low houses, you will immediately be in the wilderness or rice fields. How can it be compared with the bustling imperial city of the Ming Dynasty?The women were in groups of three or five, some lighting Kongm
Without consulting any ministers, Zhu Gaoxu ordered the Hanlin Academy to write two imperial edicts, one of which was sent to the Ministry of Justice, the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty, and the Cabinet for reading; the other was given to the messenger Liu Ming.The first was to allow the head of the central bank or his deputy head to replace him in the cabinet to make decisions, and the cabinet was expanded to ten people; an "Industrial and Commercial Law Supervisory Office" was added to the Ministry of Justice, with the head being a fourth-rank supervisor, and there were also several other official positions such as editor and councilor.The Tizhusi was responsible for revising the industrial and commercial laws, but each law had to be approved by the court. Its duties also included reviewing industrial and commercial cases, property disputes, loans and other wealth-related cases in various places. It was controlled by Xue Yan, the Minister of Punishment, and
In the early morning, the autumn rain came in gusts, sometimes heavy and sometimes light. Suddenly, it became heavier. When the wind blew, the white rain curtain "rustled" and floated towards the brick floor of the palace, like flying white gauze.Outside the Fengtian Gate, a large field of green umbrellas rose and fell from time to time. Officials of the fifth rank and above in Beijing, as well as attendants holding umbrellas for the officials, all bowed in an orderly manner to the music and the words sung by the officials of the Honglu Temple. Zhu Gaoxu also sat under a yellow umbrella outside the Fengtian Gate, maintaining his ceremonial posture.The pilgrimage is finally over and everyone will be able to leave this damp square soon.But at this moment, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly stood up from the throne, left the yellow umbrella, and stood in the rain. The eunuch beside him hurriedly reminded him, "Your Majesty, please rest your body."Some officials stand
Jian Butang recovered from his illness very quickly.This morning, Wang Gui brought his godson to Rouyi Hall and reported to Zhu Gaoxu: Jian Yi has arrived at the Ministry of Personnel and has personally signed Liu Ming's appointment letter. It seems that he will also submit a memorial to express his gratitude for the two Korean ginsengs.Zhu Gaoxu let out a short laugh, then shook his head gently and turned his attention back to the book in front of him.Wang Gui stood by for a while. Zhu Gaoxu pondered again, "The people of the Yang family can finally be killed."He hadn't thought about this decision carefully at the moment, but he had weighed it back and forth many times before.There should be some prerequisites. First, Yang Shiqi's son Yang Ji must be arrested to avoid creating hatred, but hatred cannot be completely eliminated. Secondly, he must be killed sooner or later, because Yang Shiqi is a direct descendant of the deposed prince's par
A group of people were waiting in the hall. A servant said, "The master heard that Eunuch Cao and others were coming to visit, so he asked Eunuch Cao to wait for a while and allow the master to change clothes before meeting the guests."Cao Fu nodded and sat down on the armchair in the hall without being invited. Du Erlang also came and sat beside him. After waiting for a while, Yang Gong came to the hall. He bowed and said, "I am sorry for not welcoming you so early in the evening.""No, no." Cao Fu said.Yang Gong has put on a brand new robe, the lining is spotless, the boots are new, he wears a square scarf, and his clothes are very neat.At this time, the Jin Yiwei sergeant came up with a wooden box. After opening it, he placed a pot of wine and a cup on the wooden plate. Cao Fu said to Lian who was standing next to him, "This is Mr. Yang, the father of Yang Ji. If he wants to see you, just offer him a glass of wine. Don't lose etiquette."Li
Mori Sadanaga had been in Beijing for more than a month, and apart from attending banquets hosted by the Ministry of Rites and delivering tribute gifts, he had accomplished almost nothing.Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty court received Mao Li with the etiquette of a foreign envoy, and there was no sign of him being held accountable. He probably no longer had to worry about becoming one of the scapegoats for Qian Xili's death. It was probably the people of the Kyoto Samurai Office who had to bear the brunt of that incident.Life in the capital of the Ming Dynasty was very peaceful and prosperous. It was said that kings and leaders of some small southern countries who came to pay tribute were reluctant to go back after living here and having enough food and drink.But Mori Sadanaga was getting restless and wanted to return to Japan as soon as possible. After the Battle of Hakata Bay, the situation of the daimyo forces and the Ouchi family in Japan had changed. M
Mao Li's resignation letter was not approved, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites persuaded them to stay and watch the ceremony before returning home. Because the imperial edict, seal, seal box and other items had not been completed, the ceremony of conferring Akizuki as Reibin would take some time.Zhu Gaoxu discussed with his ministers before deciding to confer Qiuyue as a concubine, mostly out of consideration for forming a comprehensive alliance.Some officials suggested that she could be made an imperial consort. Although the Akizuki family was not a member of the Ashikaga clan, they were from the noble family. This was the first marriage between the Ming Dynasty and Japan since its founding. The Akizuki family was well-known in Kyushu, and the Ouchi family, who was involved in this matter, was a key force affecting the Ming Dynasty's interests in Japan. The court currently had almost no interest in the eastern part of Japan and only wanted to win over
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. When the series is almost finished, a pay TV station und
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
