Chapter 954: Many Helps but Few Helps
Last Updated:
2024-08-03 14:45:34The 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

Spring in March | The light is good, and the scenery of Chunhe Palace is particularly beautiful. On both sides of the brick-paved path, pear blossoms bloom, just like a brocade. The peach blossoms are withering, but they are flying in the air, embellishing the ground with gorgeous mottled colors. 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. In the quiet garden, the air is filled with the fragrance of hundreds of flowers.Accompanied by palace servants and entourage, Zhu Gaoxu and Guo Wei walked along the paved road, and a pond surrounded by weeping willows came into view.In the beautiful sunny scenery, the pool was where Emperor Taizong was killed. Zhu Gaoxu thought of that incident as soon as he arrived. How

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

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

Two days later, the weather was fine. A large group of people arrived at the old mansion. When Zhu Gaoxu just got off the carriage, Cao Fu, who was waiting behind him, came forward and whispered to him, "Yisuwa from Zhenla wants to see the emperor, but she doesn't want to meet the ladies. When the emperor goes to rest, can I bring Yisuwa to see him?"Zhu Gaoxu didn't think much about it and responded.The group then arrived at the back garden of the old mansion, and indeed, many of the peonies here had already bloomed. The peonies were planted most near the artificial lake, with clusters of flowers. From a distance, the pavilion and arch bridge in the middle looked like a small boat floating in the sea of flowers.The weather is also very good, the breeze is blowing ripples on the lake, neither cold nor hot. The blooming peonies make this classical garden lively. The aura of wealth is very consistent with the image of peonies, and it is particularly suitable

Yisuwa asked Zhu Gaoxu to ask Mengji whether the King of Zhenla was involved in the conspiracy. She was a wise woman and knew that the eunuch Mengji might deceive her, but she did not dare to deceive the king easily.When Zhu Gaoxu saw Meng Ji, he suddenly remembered this matter and asked Meng Ji about it.Meng Ji looked a little embarrassed at first, but then he reported truthfully. He was indeed telling the truth, but he actually knew almost nothing about the details of the conspiracy that took place in Zhenla Kingdom. Meng Ji did not explain why he lied to Yisuwa, and Zhu Gaoxu did not continue to ask; things were indeed a bit embarrassing. Why did he, Meng Ji, have to give Yisuwa no choice and then come to Ming Dynasty to avoid trouble?However, a person who may know more will soon return to Beijing. He is Liu Ming.Zhu Gaoxu received the memorial and the main force of the naval fleet was returning. The navy has avoided the storm-prone season along

The air was filled with the unique aroma of tea. After brewing a pot of tea for the third time, Zhu Gaoxu asked casually, "It is reported that before the government troops set out from Saigon Port, an envoy from Malacca (Malacca Sultanate) came. Didn't Envoy Liu know about this in advance?""When I heard about this, the Manchujia envoy had been expelled and was no longer in the army." Liu Ming spoke slowly. He seemed to realize immediately that the emperor's question was not as casual as his tone made it sound. Liu Ming looked like he was thinking while answering.Zhu Gaoxu nodded.After a while, Liu Ming said again, "Before General Chen signed up for the southern expedition, there were many objections from the courtiers. General Chen surrendered twice and suffered many defeats in all the wars. He rarely won any decent battles. All the princes did not know his integrity or ability. Agreed. When I met General Chen during this southern expedition, I felt that

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

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

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
