Chapter 896: Good Tea and Horse Blood
Last Updated:
2024-08-03 14:45:34The Lantern Festival has just passed, and the temperature has become a little colder due to a spring rain.
However, people's activities were still as accurate as the rotation of the sun and the moon. As soon as the New Year's Day was over, people immediately began to be busy for the new year. In the court, all government offices had opened their seals and officials had returned to their offices.
Zhu Gaoxu attended the morning court in the rain, but he didn't mind, since he had an umbrella. But most of the ministers got their robes and boots wet.
After leaving Fengtian Gate, Zhu Gaoxu went to Rouyi Palace, which was closer to here. He immediately summoned Qi Tai, Ru Rong, and Hou Hai, saying that he wanted to discuss military affairs... In fact, he wanted to arrange a tour with troops this year, leaving the capital where he had stayed for several years and going out for a walk. Such a major event must of course be discussed with the court officials first.

When it was chilly spring in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it was still like summer in Zhenla.However, the cool season had not yet ended, and unless one was exposed to the sun at its highest point in the sky, the weather was not too hot most of the time. At this time, the situation in Angkor Wat was very chaotic, the people in the city were in panic, and the palace was shrouded in gloom.The general had already fled back to the royal city from the sea. He talked about the current situation in front of King Benhaya and suddenly said something harsh in anger, "The stupidity of the queen's family has led to the eternal destruction of the Kingdom of Zhenla."At this time, Queen Isuwa was right next to the king. The atmosphere in the hall immediately became very awkward. The general seemed to realize that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he stopped talking and did not say anything more.Yisuwa immediately responded coldly, "I'm afraid your experienc

The king and queen had been in the temple for less than ten days before Angkor Thom was captured.At this time, the Siamese army had been besieging Angkor for several days. Because Angkor was short of soldiers and the king had taken away a large number of elite guards, the Siamese finally found a loophole on the wall of Angkor where the defenders were sparse; late last night, the Siamese sent warriors to secretly climb up the wall, and then the situation got out of control.After the Siamese warriors took over a city gate during a surprise attack at night and a large number of troops poured into the city, the defense of the royal city collapsed completely like a dam bursting.Upon hearing the news, Queen Isova hurriedly climbed to the top of a scripture-repository in Angkor Wat, located in the northwest corner of the first-floor corridor. She was immediately shocked by the scene in front of her and froze on the stone wall.A raging fire had broken out

The visitor was a young man wearing a pointed hat. Isuwa had already recognized him as a member of the Household Minister, Naye's family. When Naye turned his head to look at the door and took off his hat, Isuwa was even more certain.Naiya once became a monk in the temple of Angkor Wat. Isova, who was a devout Buddhist, had seen him when she went to burn incense. She had an impression of him because the Minister of the Palace who accompanied her at that time had specially introduced the younger generation of his family to the queen.Most Chenla people become monks and serve the Buddha for a period of time before returning to secular life. It seems that Naye has not been secular for long, and his hair is still very light.The two of them said something similar at the same time, "The Lord Chamberlain sent you (me)."Naye was stunned for a moment and then said, "Can we talk somewhere else?"Since they were acquaintances and they were in Phnom Penh

In the Ming army camp, the Chinese army tent received news that the queen of Zhenla Kingdom was actually here.Liu Ming, the Ming envoy in charge of diplomatic relations, must be responsible for this matter. Liu Ming found the matter unbelievable, and he had been busy with many things recently; but the eunuch Meng Ji persuaded him to ask him personally. Liu Ming agreed with the eunuch's opinion, and the two of them walked out of the Chinese army's tent.Accompanied by the captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, two soldiers on duty as well as an interpreter, Liu Ming and Meng Ji went to the simple shed outside the headquarters that was used to receive foreign guests.This military camp was originally a remote place, located at the northwest end of the small peninsula in Sai Kung Bay, but now it has changed greatly. The polygonal stone-based rammed earth fortress not far away has begun to take shape; the dust is flying under the "West Hill", and tools and m

Meng Ji found a pair of chopsticks to block the tea leaves in the iron cup, and then poured the tea into two Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain cups, which were originally intended for export. This cup of tea was quite dull to drink, Liu Ming did not speak, and Meng Ji also kept calm.At some point, Liu Ming seemed to be hesitant to speak and glanced at Meng Ji. However, after a while, Liu Ming suddenly stood up and said , "Thank you, Eunuch Meng, for the tea."Hearing this, Meng Ji was stunned for a moment, and finally couldn't help but said, "You can soak it twice more, Liu Shijun, don't be anxious, sit for a while."Liu Ming had no choice but to sit back on the wooden bench.Meng Ji had no choice but to ask, "The Siamese and the Champa people have been here for a few days. We can't delay this any longer. Does Envoy Liu have any plans?"Liu Ming's expression became serious. He pondered for a moment and said, "What the Zhenla people did was ver

After the discussion in the Chinese army's tent was over, Meng Ji came out with Liu Shijun. All morning, Eunuch Meng said nothing; he was just a bystander, wasting one of the only two chairs up there.After a while, a sergeant came to report that the Siamese were cursing loudly after returning to their residence, but they had no idea what they were talking about.Meng Ji turned to Ambassador Liu and asked, "Would you like to send a general over to listen?"Liu Ming said, "It's nothing more than resentment and dissatisfaction." He paused and said, "If you are resentful, let them send someone to the capital to pay homage."Meng Ji reminded calmly, "I'm afraid that Siam will not listen to our dissuasion and will still attack Phnom Penh City."Liu Ming pondered for a while and said, "This time I went to Phnom Penh City with the Zhenla envoys, just in time to put their promises on paper in front of the kings and ministers of Zhenla Kingdom. Then I wil

The last time the capital received news from Wang Jinghong and Chen Xuan, it was still early spring when the weather was still cold; and this time, when the eunuch Meng Ji and others returned to the capital to report the news, the weather was getting hotter. In the Ming territory covering thousands of miles, there would be almost no progress without a year or two.Zhu Gaoxu remembered that he had drunk Chaozhou tea with his ministers when he was dealing with the southern maritime affairs last time. He could remember this detail because the eunuch Cao Fu recently brought a small can of Yunnan tea; Zhu Gaoxu then remembered what he said at that time, that he was still used to the taste of Yunnan tea.Of course, Zhu Gaoxu just said it casually, and he almost forgot it. The tea produced in the southern provinces has its own taste, and he is not very picky about it. It was just because Zhu Gaoxu was a vassal king in Yunnan for several years, and the transportation ther

The eunuch Cao Fu asked for an order to first place the deposed queen in the old mansion for observation, so that if something happens to someone who has not gone through the draft process, Cao Fu will be responsible. Zhu Gaoxu agreed, but he was a little curious about a woman of such status, so he asked Cao Fu to arrange a meeting first.As for the others who came back with the eunuch Meng Ji, Zhu Gaoxu did not need to personally ask about it for the time being. Most of them were just envoys from foreign vassal states, not kings, and Zhu Gaoxu did not need to personally attend the dismounting banquet for those people a few days after they arrived in Beijing. The Ming Dynasty was a country of etiquette, so of course it would take some time to go through the etiquette of hospitality.So three days later, Zhu Gaoxu went out of Chengtian Gate to inspect the various government offices, and then went to inspect the mint and other places, and then he could leave the pal

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.

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
Game of the Throne Chapter 1062 Chicken with Rice
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
Game of the Throne Chapter 1060: Relationship and Emotion
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
