Chapter 851 Bricks on the City Wall
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

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

Yao Fang was still in Iwami Province. He usually lived in Iwami Guard, one of the two guards established by the Ming army; the other was Hakata Guard in Kyushu.Iwami-no-Mae is not in Iwami Castle, but on the seashore, and a port has been built near the castle. The original Iwami Castle is located in the southeast, built on the hillside of an important valley passage, and guarded by the Japanese Tao Jing.The center of the Ming army here was at the seaside in order to get reinforcements from the ocean and transport to the seaport. The Japanese army in Iwami Province was originally mainly prepared for enemies from other areas on land, so the location was different.The location of the Iwami Silver Mine was deep in the southeastern mountainous area. The Ming army had repaired a post road from Iwami Guard and Iwami Castle to the silver mine, with post stations and official shops along the way; at the same time, they built garrisons at important hurdles and set

Shibukawa returned home after dark. She lowered her head and walked quickly to the bedroom. Ouchi Masaru heard the sound of wooden clogs and immediately came over and said coldly, "Stop!"Shibukawa bowed awkwardly and said, "Mrs. Tao and I were in a hurry to finish embroidering a folding screen. I'm sorry I came back late."Ouchi Masaru walked over with a cold face. Shibukawa was frightened by his expression and hurriedly hid in the house. She tried to close the wooden door, but Ouchi Masaru grabbed the edge of the door with one hand, pushed it open with his backhand and walked in."What are you going to do? Stop! Don't..." Shibukawa said in panic.Ouchi Katsu refused to listen and forced himself up to lift her skirt to check her clothes. Shibukawa resisted vigorously and kept scolding Ouchi Katsu, and the two soon struggled together. After all, the woman's strength was not as strong as Ouchi Katsu's. She fell behind after a moment, but she was so asha

After night fell, Ouchi Katsu and Yao Fang were still in the tavern, drinking with Mori Sadanaga and enjoying the singing and dancing. Le Ji held a paper fan and danced to the sound of the flute. Ouchi Katsu and Mori were watching with great interest, but Yao Fang, a Ming countryman, seemed a little bored, perhaps not used to such simple singing and dancing.At this moment, someone suddenly opened the wooden door, walked quickly into the shop, came to the table and bowed, and said in Japanese, "Report, General Tao was attacked by an assassin in the other courtyard! The nearby warriors are all coming to reinforce."After hearing this, several people immediately got up from the floor. Mao Li said in Chinese, "Tao Jing encountered an assassin."Everyone paid the money and left the place in a hurry. Following the messenger, everyone went to the scene to check. Soon they heard a noise, a group of foot soldiers and archers were advancing. Torches were lit on the s
