Chapter 837: Late Autumn in the Palace
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 current boundary between Annam and Champa is the mountain range south of Ha Tinh. To the north of Ha Tinh is the land of Annam, while the Hue area to the south is still occupied by Champa.Both countries have flat coastal areas and dense populations. There are many cities along the coast of Annan, from south to north, including Ha Tinh, Nghe An (Vinh City), Dien Chau (Huang Mai), Thanh Hoa, and Hoa Lu (Nam Dinh). The hilly and mountainous areas in the west are difficult to control. To the west of Nghe An and Dien Chau, there are only two county towns such as Lu Nian.The vast mountainous area west of Dien Province and Thanh Hoa is full of mountains, dense jungles, and difficult roads, and official power is almost non-existent. The temporary center of Le Loi's power is now in this mountainous area.The abundant sunshine and year-round warm climate make the mountains and jungles rich in resources, and the scattered small plots of land can also be harvested

Mid-November was the dry season in Annan. A few dozen miles north of Yanzhou, between the north and south mountains and jungles, there was a large village in the corridor.As soon as the sky was light, many people came to the village. Judging from their attire and voice, they were all Annan people. They wore pointed hats and held various weapons. Some wore armor made of iron and bamboo pieces. Their skin was dark like the green forest in the mountains. But they did not rob the village. Only some of them broke into the villagers' homes, mainly to see if they had horses.There was a constant stream of people and horses passing through the village, and most of the villagers closed their doors and watched quietly through the windows. "Woof woof woof..." The dogs barked noisily in all directions, and the mist was filled with the smell of manure and wood ash.Nguyen Jingyi followed Le Loi and others and also passed by this village. Today, Nguyen Jingyi led the tro

In order to retreat as quickly as possible, the rebels retreated westward in multiple ways. Compared with being cautious when they came, when the rebels retreat, there is no need to hide. Speed is the key.Long lines of people are moving on the ground. From a distance, they look like moving ant colonies. There was a cacophony of voices, footsteps, and the neighing of horses."Woo..." A hoarse and thick trumpet sound suddenly sounded in the north.People looked in the direction of the sound and saw cavalry gradually emerging from a forest. After a while, the ground began to shake faintly, and a low rumbling sound followed. A large cloud of dust spread over the small village at the edge of the forest.The rebel soldiers all looked on, with expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces.The cavalry in the distance seemed to be equipped with a lot of armor, marching in a large formation, and well-trained. Only the Ming army had such a herd of hor

The weather in Thang Long City was clear and windless. The colorful clouds floated in the sky like brocade, and the motionless clouds looked like a painting.Queen Mother Tran stood on the tower of the palace, looking at the vast Thang Long City. Outside the moat was a flat area. Apart from the palace, most of the houses in the city were relatively low and densely packed. From a distance, it seemed as if they covered the entire land.The troops of the Ming army were entering the city, and the long dragons and flags moving on the street were faintly visible. Queen Mother Chen could not see Zhang Fu's car, nor could she clearly see the people over there.But she was still here watching, her expression changing repeatedly and subtly."Your Majesty, do you want to summon the Marquis of Xincheng?" Ruan Zhi, the prefect of Sheng Long, bowed to the side.Queen Mother Chen turned around and said, "What did you say? Ask him why he used the king as bait?"
