Chapter 939: People around
Dinner was late, and when Duan Xuehen came out of the courtyard where Zhu Gaoxu lived, night had completely fallen.
The first two nights, Duan Xuehen lived in the same courtyard with the Mongolian Khan's concubine Asari so that she could travel with her every day. Now that the task assigned to her by the emperor had been completed, Duan Xuehen no longer needed to care about the Khan's concubine. She went straight back to another place and prepared to rest.
Duan Xuehen walked along the brightly lit dirt road in the village and opened a simple courtyard door nearby. Most of the houses on both sides were earthen walls with hip roofs and narrow eaves, which were very different from the houses in the capital and Yunnan. Duan Xuehen glanced at the small window of the room to the east and saw that the light was still on inside, so he guessed that the Annan man Chen Xianzhen had not yet gone to bed.
Duan Xuehen took the initiative to arrange Chen Xianzhen's residenc

Earlier, when Zhu Gaoxu left Zhangde Mansion, he had already issued an order to the Chief Envoy of Peiping and the Chief Envoy of Shandong to order the generals in the north to report on their duties in Peiping.The Liaodong Dusi (near Liaoyang) had also received the order, and then ordered the generals to set off southward.The capital commander of Liaodong Dusi is called Cao Yi. He has been the capital commander for several years since the last years of Hongwu. The emperor's recent tour to the north and summoning the generals to report on their duties seemed to be relatively normal, but Cao Yi felt a little uneasy.Today, he was thinking about this matter in the government office again, when he was informed that He Hao, the lieutenant general of Daning City, wanted to see him. Cao Yi immediately said to the guard, "You are welcome."He Hao was also one of the people who had to report on his work, but he first came to Liaodong Dusi. It was obvious tha

The grazing land of Wuliangha Sanwei is in the northeastern region, located on the east side of the Greater Khingan Mountains (called Halawen Mountain at this time), and mainly operates in the Nen River (called Naowen River at this time) and Songhua River basins. Among them, the Fuyu Guard area where General Ji'er is located is located in the northernmost part of the three guards.General Ji'er looked very serious. He sat on a chair and leaned forward to face Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Before I left, the commander Haisha Nandaxi told me to let His Majesty know that the Fuyu Guards were in a very dangerous situation."Zhu Gaoxu nodded without saying anything.General Jier continued, "It is said that Emperor Taizong had promised to allow the Three Guards to go south and obtain Daning City and the surrounding land. This statement is not known to be true or false, but it has been widely circulated. After Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he did not do so. Many peop
Game of the Throne Chapter 942: Fierce as a Tiger
There were many inherent problems in the rules of the Weisuo formulated by Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. Even though the Ming Dynasty has only been established for less than 50 years, the Weisuo military system has not yet been completely corrupted, but there are already signs that it is difficult to maintain. The fact that the military households have been fleeing for a long time and would rather become refugees is very telling.Zhu Gaoxu also understood this. When Taizu established the Ming Dynasty, he had to re-establish order in all aspects. There were so many things that were inevitably unreasonable. It was just that later generations had to continue to make improvements, and it was obviously not possible to stick to the ancestral system.At noon the next day, Zhu Gaoxu hosted a banquet for civil and military officials in the central hall of the old courtyard, including the noble ministers accompanying the army, officials from the three Beiping offices,

Entering a wooden door, Asari walked around the screen decorated with embroidered silk, and saw Zhu Gaoxu wearing a black gauze on his head and a red robe.There were several large wooden shelves in the room, with various books, boxes, scrolls on them, and a shelf full of porcelain and antiques. Originally, Asari had lived in villages and military tents on the road, and had no special experience. But now that she has arrived in Peiping, in such a deep house in a mansion, she has seen something completely different from the grassland. Probably only people who settled in towns would place such complicated furnishings in their homes.Asari bowed to Zhu Gaoxu first, and then said, "Meet His Majesty the Emperor.""There is a stool in front, please sit down." Zhu Gaoxu said casually.As he spoke, he gently folded the paper in front of him, seemingly unwilling to let Asari see it. She took a curious look and soon found a fine white porcelain bowl on the table

From then on, Zhu Gaoxu sat on duty in the central hall of the old courtyard every day, listening to the border generals coming to report on their work.Most of the contents were about widening the walls of the garrisons, repairing and completing fortifications, or reclaiming a certain number of acres of land for garrison farming. A few of them included reports on capturing enemy spies. The generals' daily tasks were similar and sounded quite boring.However, everyone was mainly responsible for maintaining the operation of the government, so of course there were not many interesting things, and it was normal for there to be no waves. The border generals certainly would not speak out some of the dirty things inside, but would only rack their brains to come up with some serious things they had done.No wonder Emperor Xuanzong, who was quite capable in the Tang Dynasty, later became tired of politics and preferred to spend his days playing with the daughter of

When the generals under the Liaodong Commandery reported on their work, Zhu Gaoxu also asked about the situation of the three Wuliangha guards. These border generals had to take care of the safety of their own territory, and most of them knew something about the Wuliangha tribe not far away.Zhu Gaoxu then summoned Guo Ang, who lived in Beiping. Guo Ang was an official stationed in Beiping by the Northern Defense Department. It was Guo Ang who secretly reported to Beijing the meeting between the Chief of Zhao Palace and the Mongolian messenger Hua Tong.It was difficult for the Northern Guard Office to get much information about the distant Arutai tribe, the Asut tribe, and even the Tatar Khorchin tribe. But Guo Ang should be able to find out a lot about the Wuliangha tribe, which was not far from the Liaodong Military Region.After much inquiry, Zhu Gaoxu finally confirmed the statement of General Ji'er of the Wuliangha people, which was the fact that the W

Before leaving Beiping Prefecture, Zhu Gaoxu asked the people around him to recommend an envoy to be sent to the Tatar Asut tribe to enthrone Alutai.Hou Hai asked his subordinate Guo Ang to recommend a man, a professor of Confucianism in Beiping Prefecture named Chen Xiang. He was a young official who was a juren and volunteered to go to Tatar. His name was introduced by his acquaintance Guo Ang, and only then did Zhu Gaoxu hear about it.According to Hou Hai, Chen Xiang thought this trip was a good opportunity for his career. If the emperor was not on tour and there were not many civil servants around him, he would not have the chance to get good things. Chen Xiang went to Guo several times to beg him to get this opportunity.Considering that the Tatars had killed or detained Ming envoys more than once in the past, and that several promising and powerful officials around Zhu Gaoxu were not suitable for this task, Zhu Gaoxu met Chen Xiang in person.C

Of course, He Hao in Daning City did not stop. Within half a month, someone sent the news to Liaodong Dusi.In Liaodong in early December, it had snowed more than once, and now it was snowing heavily outside. The wind was not strong, but it was freezing cold. When an official in a green robe lifted a door curtain at Cao Yi's house, his face was purple and his lips were black with cold.Cao Yi saw that his hat and fur coat were covered with snowflakes, and immediately called out, "Governor Li, come sit by the stove."The middle-aged civil servant called Li Zhishi bowed and thanked him before walking to the stove. He gently patted the snowflakes on his arms and said, "It's really hard to stay outside at this time of year.""Liaodong is like this, it will be frozen for several months." Cao Yi responded, his eyes lingering on Li Zhishi's face. It was obvious that Cao Yi wanted to hear more reports.Li Zhishi stretched out his hand and handcuffed it t
