Chapter 946: Every Tree and Grass Seems Like an Enemy
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.

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

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, Zhu Gaoxu and his entourage arrived at Guangning Zhongtunwei (Jinzhou).Not long after arriving, Jinyiwei Commander Zhang Sheng walked into the courtyard. After seeing Zhu Gaoxu, he reported, "Your Majesty, Liaodong Commander Cao Yi has arrived at Zhongtunwei."Zhu Gaoxu was surprised after hearing this. Before the northern tour, the court issued a notice prohibiting local officials from leaving the city to welcome him without permission. And the Liaodong Commander actually left the seat of government for more than 400 miles to come here, which was indeed unusual.But at this time, Zhang Sheng's voice said, "He came here in cloth clothes and had a seal with him."Zhu Gaoxu said, "Bring him in."Zhang Sheng clasped his fists and said, "I obey your command."After a while, Cao Yi first kowtowed outside the door, and then came in to pay his respects. The man was wearing a bulky gray cloth with snowflak
Game of the Throne Chapter 949 Cold and Warm
It was indeed cold in Zhongtunwei, Guangning, and it was coldest at night. Chen Xianzhen came to Liaodong for the first time, and the weather impressed her the most. Before that, she could hardly imagine such a scene. After all, in Annan, where she was born, people only knew the heat and not the cold.This time, she saw more of the scenery during the tour. In the vast Ming Dynasty, different places had completely different climates and waters. The only thing that was the same was that people spoke the same Chinese language with different accents. At least the words on the door curtains were the same.The longer she spent in the Ming Dynasty, the more unfamiliar her hometown felt.Chen Xianzhen thought that it might not be because she was used to the Ming Dynasty, but because it seemed that she could no longer return to Annan. Zhu Gaoxu would not force her to stay, but she felt that it would be difficult to make a living if she returned.In the past, wh
Game of the Throne Chapter 950: Afternoon Time
It should have been early in the afternoon when the snow stopped, but the days were short in winter and the cloudy sky had gradually darkened. Snow was still piled up on the roofs, roadsides, and every corner. Zhu Gaoxu felt that the snow in Liaodong might not melt until the beginning of spring.When he arrived at Mu Zhen's residence, he found Chen Xianzhen was also there.After the greeting, Mu Zhen said, "Mrs. Chen is really very polite. Yesterday, I gave her a coat, and she made some food from Thang Long City, Annan, in return, and even delivered it to me personally."Zhu Gaoxu nodded."I'm wearing this today." Chen Xianzhen immediately said. Before Mu Zhen finished speaking, Chen Xianzhen seemed to rush to speak to Zhu Gaoxu.Zhu Gaoxu turned around and looked at Chen Xianzhen, and said, "Yes, the dress is very beautiful."Chen Xianzhen noticed his gaze and looked up at Zhu Gaoxu for a moment. Her eyes seemed to be somewhat shy, but per

As the year draws to a close, Jinan is filled with a festive atmosphere. The bright red decorations in the streets and alleys complement the white snow on the ground. The sounds of gongs and drums can be heard from far and near, and children are running and playing in the snow.Gao Xianning had been in Jinan Prefecture for some time. What he did most was to attend various banquets, contact old classmates, and make new friends in the literati circle. Gao Xianning was a student from Shandong. His deeds in fighting against the "Jingnan Army" in Jinan Prefecture were in line with the Confucian principles of loyalty and filial piety. Although he was later forced to serve in the Yongle Dynasty, he had already become a famous scholar with his articles. Now he is a favorite of the emperor in the Wude Dynasty, and there are naturally countless people in the literati circle who are willing to make friends with him.Today, he returned to the mansion drunk again, but saw a ma
Game of the Throne Chapter 952 Abscess
The Lantern Festival of the sixth year of Wude had just passed, and everything was gradually coming back to life. Gao Xianning looked at the scenery outside the straw curtain of the carriage, which was a scene of tranquility and peace.The peach and plum trees on both sides of the post road were budding, swaying flexibly in the breeze, in stark contrast to the withered branches. The weeping willows were also sprouting new green buds. From a distance, the fields were also covered in a layer of yellow-green.The road surface is a layer of hard soil. Shandong does not have much rain, and the post road has become solid and stable after being trampled by countless carriages, horses and pedestrians. It is very comfortable for the carriage to drive on such a road. There is a slight puff of yellow dust in the air. The simplicity of the ancient road is very harmonious with the spring scenery.Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a burst of hurried horse hoof sound
Game of the Throne Chapter 953: Village Drink
The Xiangyin mentioned by Gao Xianning earlier was a regularly held gathering with strict hierarchy and order. In addition to being held by government Confucian schools at all levels, village elders in the village would also invite guests and gather villagers for Xiangyin. This was an important means for the Ming Dynasty to maintain order among the common people.The people who grasp public opinion here are, of course, the literate gentry and village elders.The Ming Dynasty was established less than 50 years ago, and the grassroots of the countryside was far from being corrupt. The gentry, especially the scholars with achievements, did not have a bad reputation and became a derogatory term for exploiting the people. On the contrary, for the sake of fame, reputation, or face, they often abided by some moral rules and were more sensible than ordinary people. They would do some good things such as building roads and bridges and helping the orphans and widows. Theref
Game of the Throne Chapter 954: Many Helps but Few Helps
The rebel army is besieging Changle County. Countless people gathered and surrounded this quaint and old town.The inscriptions on the stone plaque on the city gate were already somewhat blurred, and the tower had lost its majestic momentum; the rammed earth wall was only two people high, and the appearance of the strong men guarding the city could be clearly seen. The two sides were so close that it seemed that the city would be breached at any time.The servants defending the city used coal and firewood to burn dung juice, and the rebels attacking the city also used crude catapults to throw burning objects into the city; thick smoke billowed in all directions on the noisy land. The new branches and flowers among the grass and trees seemed to wither in the smoke.There was a commotion not far from the city gate, several wooden ladders were overturned, and the rebels shouted and scattered in all directions. The people on the city mainly used rolling logs and
