Chapter 898: Prosperity is often like a dream
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

In this strange temple, Yisuwa was not sure who the man in front of her was. But she could already guess that this person was most likely the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.Yisuwa followed the man out of the hall where the Buddha statue was enshrined and walked into the courtyard inside. Occasionally, the man would turn his head and say something gentle to her, but of course she couldn't understand it at all.She could only observe the man's demeanor and movements to guess his attitude and emotions. The man's calmness and kindness made Yisuwa feel that he had no ill intentions, and the inexplicable panic and tension in her heart was relieved.This was the first time that Yisuwa had seen the Buddha "living" in such a temple. What was even more amazing was that the Buddha's eyes were half open and he even had an expression. The Buddha statue also wore a lot of clothes, unlike the Buddha in Zhenla who had his upper body exposed.Just like the man before him
Game of the Throne Chapter 906 News from Peking
At the time of You, Zhu Gaoxu and others returned to the palace from Xuanwu Gate. As soon as he arrived at Qianqing Palace, he met the eunuch Wang Gui.Wang Gui stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Hou Zuoshi (Hou Hai) has been waiting on the corridor for almost half an hour."He then whispered, "In the afternoon, Hou Zuo sent Wuying Hall to Rouyi Hall and asked the eunuch on duty where the emperor was. The slave had to ask the eunuch to send a message that the emperor had returned to Qianqing Palace to rest.It seemed that Hou Zuoshi had something important to do, so he invited us to Dongnuan Pavilion to see us and inform us. The servant went to see Hou Zuoshi, thinking that the emperor had left in the morning and would have to return to the palace now, so she asked Hou Zuoshi to wait. Unexpectedly, he waited for half an hour. "Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head and glanced at the straight robe he was wearing, and said, "I will go to Dongnuan Pavilion ri
