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
When Zhu Gaoxu woke up, he heard that several ministers were waiting outside the Rouyi Palace. Eunuch Cao Fu and others helped him dress and said that it was probably because the Tongzhengsi had received Sheng Yong's memorial.When they arrived at the main hall, Zhu Gaoxu issued an order allowing the ministers to enter for an audience with the emperor.Six people came: Qi Tai, Gao Xianning, Xia Yuanji, Ru Chang, Song Li, and Qian Xun. They knelt and kowtowed twice, once outside the palace gate and once inside the palace room.Zhu Gaoxu had just woken up and was still a little dazed, so he didn't pay much attention to etiquette and just waved, "No need for formalities, get up." He walked to the big table and reached out to find Sheng Yong's memorial among a pile of memorials.Cao Fu leaned forward, picked up a book and handed it to Zhu Gaoxu with both hands. Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Cao Fu, then stood there and opened it to read.Zhu Gaoxu felt a litt
Zhu Gaoxu's daily emotions were very abstract, because he could only use the text on the memorials to give full play to his imagination and understand what was happening in various places in the Ming territory.Sometimes I feel happy, like when I got the news that Sheng Yong is in Japan. Sometimes I feel upset, like I got bad news from both the north and south in the past two days.One was a memorial from Ningxia Wei (Yinchuan), which said that the Oirat tribe had come to the Hetao area to graze their livestock in the autumn. The local military commanders reported to the court to warn it and request reinforcements.Zhu Gaoxu felt frustrated. As soon as he came to the throne, he went on a northern expedition, going through life and death in the ice and snow, and dealt a heavy blow to the Tatar tribe; but the result of this seemed to be that the pressure on the Wasi tribes in the west was suddenly reduced, and there were signs of going south to the Hetao area.
In a manor on a mountain in the west of Annan, Le Loi was sitting in a cozy house, holding up a glass of wine and celebrating with his subordinates. The room was filled with the aroma of wine and meat, and the congratulatory words in the Annan dialect.Sitting at the table were civil and military officials under Le Loi, including Nguyen Kiem, Nguyen Canh Nghiem, etc. The family of counselor Nguyen Kiem was also present, including his younger brother Nguyen Qi and his younger sister Nguyen Lan Fang.Ruan Lanfang was a beautiful girl with elegant temperament. She was born in a scholarly family. She had long black hair and fair skin. All Annan men liked such women. Long hair required patience to take care of, and the personality was usually gentle. The fair skin was because she did not have to work in the wind and sun, so her family must be well-off.Ruan Jingyi would occasionally glance at the beauty, but he did not stare at her impolitely. He would pretend to
As expected, the counselor Nguyen Jian recommended Nguyen Cang Yi to take part of the "goods" to Da Nang to find familiar merchants. Nguyen Jian seemed to know a lot about Nguyen Cang Yi and thought that Nguyen Cang Yi could do the job.Nguyen Chien was the man whose wife betrayed him and followed the Ming man Liu Sheng. Liu Sheng had captured Nguyen Chien's family but released them; Le Loi still trusted Nguyen Chien, which really required courage and confidence.There were many people with the surname Nguyen in Annan. Although Nguyen Jingyi had the same surname as this person, they were not related in any way.Le Loi first said that Nguyen Cangyi was a great general and somewhat adventurous.But Nguyen Chien thought it was a difficult task and that ordinary people could not do it. Only Nguyen Jingyi was the most suitable person. Moreover, the army was short of food, clothing, and weapons and needed money. Then Nguyen Chien suggested that his brother N
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
