Chapter 848: Talented General
In February of the fourth year of Wude (1413 AD), Zhu Gaoxu had a son and a daughter. Concubine Shu gave birth to a prince, named Zhantan, and Concubine Xian gave birth to a princess, named Shouyan.
Not long after, Zhang Fu also brought the prisoners to Beijing.
Originally, the troops coming from the south could reach the imperial city the fastest if they took the Zhengyang Gate. However, the court arranged a route for Zhang Fu along Fengtai Gate, Jubao Gate, and Hongwu Gate Avenue, because Jubao Gate was the commercial district of the capital and the most densely populated area, and along the way they could show the court's military prowess to the common people.
The Ministry of War and the Five Military Commanderies each sent a civil servant and a nobleman to greet him, and they were also supported by infantry and cavalry from the Beijing camp, and a grand ceremony was arranged for Zhang Fu.
Each city gate was specially built to beat drums for the sur

The words of Zhang Shun, an official of the Guarding Department, were not recognized by the emperor and his ministers, but his narration of what he saw and heard still played a role. Zhu Gaoxu prepared to summon Luo Pan, the envoy of Champa, to have a face-to-face talk.The Ming Dynasty had a relatively clear concept of hierarchy. The emperor received foreign envoys with formal etiquette, usually when the king of a foreign country visited. If the person who came was an envoy like Luo Pan, then the person responsible for receiving him was the court minister.Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu chose to meet Luo Pan in Rouyi Palace, his residence.In the morning, he left Fengtian Gate and came to Rouyi Hall from Wu Tower. At this time, the person he wanted to see had not arrived yet. Perhaps the official in charge of the matter had some dispute with Luo Pan over the details, which delayed the process a little.However, Zhu Gaoxu's Japanese concubine Qiuyue Xiangori cam
Game of the Throne Chapter 850 Confused Account
When Qi Tai came out of Rouyi Hall, he said goodbye to the foreign envoys and others, and prepared to go to the cabinet in Wuying Hall in the south.At this time, he saw his colleague Qian Xun, watching from a distance. Qian Xun seemed to have something to do, but he did not come directly to the door of Rouyi Hall, or he hesitated. So Qi Tai walked over by himself. When he saw Qian Xun, they bowed to each other.Qian Xun is a civil servant in his thirties, of medium build and ordinary appearance, the kind of person who is easily overlooked. He was able to reach his current position entirely because he was born as the chief historian of the Han Palace.After exchanging a few pleasantries, Qian Xun, who looked worried, sighed, as if to start a conversation that was not so pleasant. Qian Xun did not waste time, and went straight to the point, "I am still short of money. I thought about asking for an audience with His Majesty, but I was a little hesitant because

Qi Tai finished his work for the day and returned home early in the afternoon.He sat on a wicker chair in his study for a long time, drinking tea. There was an Imperial College student studying for him next to him. He was reading "Tongjian", and the edition was Jingyou's version of the Southern Song Dynasty. He has read this book a long time ago, but sometimes he wants to review it but doesn't want to strain his eyes; so he will find someone to read it and just sit and listen.There are often scholars and officials coming and going in the Qi Mansion. Those scholars who have no status yet, if they can wait and study in front of Qi Tai, it is simply a job they dream of. The prison student chosen by Qi Tai has a good voice, reads with a clear accent, and sounds very comfortable.Sometimes, Qi Tai would also listen to some popular books, such as "Song Jiang", a book about counter-revolt written by the modern scholar Shi Naian, which Qi Tai found very interestin
Game of the Throne Chapter 852: Spring Breeze is Like Scissors
It’s been a while since I visited Eun Hui. Zhu Gaoxu asked the eunuch Cao Fu to arrange everything early in the morning, and ordered Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, to deploy guards and go to inform Enhui.Today, Zhu Gaoxu felt that his mood had changed, as if the spring breeze was blowing on the water, creating some ripples. He likes to travel with a purpose and a goal, knowing roughly what he wants to do. Perhaps this is also a kind of impetuosity.In the morning, Zhu Gaoxu went about his business step by step, only secretly looking forward to his trip in the afternoon. After he left Fengtian Gate, he went to the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace; this was because every time he left the palace privately, he always took the Xuanwu Gate to the north. There are mostly government offices in the south, and civil and military officials often use Xihua Gate and Donghua Gate to enter the palace. Few court ministers enter and exit through the north ga

Before Youshi, Zhu Gaoxu returned to the palace. He arrived at Qianqing Palace first, turned his head on his shoulder and took a few deep breaths, but he didn't smell any fragrance.But it is said that women are very sensitive to smells. Zhu Gaoxu was going to Kunning Palace tonight, and he was afraid that Guo Wei would smell it and cause trouble for her. Besides, the dirty lining must be changed, so Zhu Gaoxu asked the maid on duty to prepare hot water for bathing and changing clothes first.In the evening, he went to Kunning Palace as if nothing had happened, as if he had not looked for anyone else that day.Guo Wei seemed not to notice, and continued to chat with Zhu Gaoxu about trivial matters, mostly about how she took care of Yao Ji and Du Qianrui. This was because the two concubines had just given birth and were in confinement.Zhu Gaoxu sat in a chair, just waiting for dinner, and he couldn't help but praise Guo Wei from time to time, saying th
Game of the Throne Chapter 854: The Avenue of the Lousi
Qi Tai's plan did not proceed according to the "expected process".But the result was as expected. Qian Xun's memorial went through many twists and turns, from the cabinet to the treasure office, and then to the emperor, and finally passed the decision after the court discussion. So Qian Xun did not resign; and the matter of Ru Rong taking charge of the Southern Office Iron Factory did not happen.The situation is like this, and it is true that the positions of the officials in the court are very complicated. The situation is not as simple as a dispute between the new and old parties, and there are many people who are trying to smooth things over.A few days later, it was the ten-day holiday. The Minister of Works, Ru Rong, suddenly invited Qi Tai to go to Longjiang Temple to worship. Qi Tai also felt that he should talk to Ru Rong and others, so he naturally did not refuse.Longjiang Temple is next to the Dajiang Port, and you can see the river in fro
Game of the Throne Chapter 855: The Story of Brocade
Mujia was a common holiday for the court, with one day off every ten days. It meant that officials were concerned about their appearance, so they would take a day off to bathe and change clothes every once in a while; however, bathing did not require a whole day, and Mujia was just a more polite way of saying it.Zhu Gaoxu did not report for duty either, and left the palace to go to the Shen family opera house by the Qinhuai River.This time the person in charge of guarding was not Zhang Sheng, but Du Erlang. Du Erlang is a theater fan. He often goes to opera theaters and is very familiar with that kind of place. The person who received Zhu Gaoxu was Shen Xu herself. It is said that she did not come here often because the Shen and Xu family's business was far more than just a pear orchard.Today's theaters and restaurants are very lively. There are a large number of officials and scholars in the capital. It coincides with the holiday and is a time for making

There were no musicians in the private room, and Li Louxian didn't change his costume. However, her postures and movements are appropriate, and most importantly, her eyes are very magical. Her face was covered with heavy makeup, and only her eyes could express the emotions of the opera lines, but her emotions seemed to really linger with the music and come from her heart."I would rather stay alone and poor, live my youth, and never have a man in this life, so I won't be affected by misfortunes. If I get married and know that I love you, it will be a worthwhile wedding in the bridal chamber..." She was singing her lines, and her words were precise. Round and very clear. Zhu Gaoxu and Shen Xu were sitting next to the coffee table, admiring it intently.The lyrics of operas are sung very slowly, and as long as you listen patiently, you can understand the plot. Zhu Gaoxu felt that the content of this play was empty, but fortunately Li Louxian's acting skills were sup
