Chapter 951 The Obsessed
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

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

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

More than a month later, Zhu Gaoxu returned to the capital. It was already the turn of spring and summer in the sixth year of Wude.When Zhu Gaoxu first returned to the palace and settled down, he was even busier than when he was away from home. In addition to reuniting with his wives, concubines, and children, there were many people waiting to see him in the court, and everything was complicated. During Zhu Gaoxu's absence from Beijing, although the court's government documents were often delivered, some specific matters could not be handled with such a fuss. For example, if the prince's teacher Xiao Shizhong wanted to file a complaint, he had to wait until Zhu Gaoxu returned to Beijing.Zhu Gaoxu had not attended court for a few days, and the officials could not see him, so they simply wrote memorials. However, he was busy with Miao Jin and others, and almost did not ask about the recent memorials.However, among the pile of memorials, Qian Xun's memorial

There is also the white magnolia brought back from Java, which is blooming proudly on the branches.Bright green, snow-white, and pink are all vivid colors. The elegant red walls, yellow tiles, and carved windows and ornate buildings are faintly visible in between, creating a colorful atmosphere.

The once deserted Rouyi Hall to the west of Wulou finally regained its popularity. Zhu Gaoxu began to hold court in the morning at Fengtian Gate, and came here to work and deal with the court affairs that had been delayed during the northern tour. However, the problems in the north were obviously not over.A few days later, Qi Tai came to Rouyi Palace and talked about the news of Tatar.Qi Tai sat on a stool opposite the large table and said, "Your Majesty sent an envoy, Chen Xiang, to Tatar. The Tatar governor, Alutai, then wrote a letter and sent it to Liaodong Military Command via Taining Guard. Liaodong Military Commander Cao Yi then reported it to the Ministry of War, so the matter was reported to the Ministry of War. I have already written the memorial. When I went to Wuying Palace today, I heard that Your Majesty was in Rouyi Palace, so I simply came to see Him and report to His Majesty in person."Zhu Gaoxu was reading a letter stamped by Aluta, whic
Game of the Throne Chapter 958: Follow the Leader
The time for the imperial court session after the morning court session began to get shorter and shorter.Many of the rules set by Emperor Taizu were reasonable. After he ascended the throne, he was diligent and strict in governing . For example, when the emperor heard government affairs, there were officials from the Hanlin Academy on duty at the Fengtian Gate, who were responsible for recording government affairs and writing imperial edicts on the spot. All major decisions were witnessed by officials from various government offices, so it was almost impossible for them to make mistakes.But later emperors gradually disliked this way of governing, including Zhu Gaoxu. Probably because under the watchful eyes of the public, the emperor had to pay attention to his words and deeds at all times, and he would get tired easily after a while. Few emperors had the energy to compare with Taizu. Moreover, the emperors probably didn't like a process that was too transparent

In the early morning, the Kunning Gate was shrouded in a moist mist, entwining the magnificent palace. The sun had not yet risen, and the light was a little hazy. At this time, the Kunning Palace was not so bright, and it seemed quiet and mysterious.Wang Gui, the eunuch of the Imperial Household Department, had just come over. He saw some palace servants sweeping the brick floor of the square, and a team of palace maids walking slowly on the corridor. When the palace maids came to a lamp stand, they opened the cover of the lamp stand, took out the unburned lanterns inside and blew them out.There were quite a few people here in the morning, all doing their own things; probably because they often did these things, people looked very natural. Wang Gui suddenly remembered that the scene of ordinary people tidying up their yards in the morning seemed to be somewhat similar to the situation in front of him, at least the expressions on people's faces were a bit similar
