Chapter 972: Mirror
It was snowing heavily in the capital.
Zhu Gaoxu had to leave the palace today because he had made an appointment with someone in advance. The emperor could change the time or even break the appointment, but he felt it was unnecessary and went to the meeting in the afternoon.
The person he wanted to meet was a businessman from the Xue family in Huzhou.
Previously, I asked Du Erlang, the governor of Beizhen, to try to contact the famous merchant who made mirrors. The matter has been completed and we will discuss cooperation with the Xue family in the name of the Sinan Department of Defense. This matter is not a big deal, Zhu Gaoxu can leave it to the officials; but he has lived in the palace for a long time, and sometimes he just wants to go out and meet people other than the palace people and ministers.
He gave up his personal campaign for the Liaodong Campaign that was to be launched next spring. It was still okay to go out and walk around the capital

It was still early, but the days were short in winter. The sky outside the window had darkened, replaced by lights. The drunken Madam Xue said, "It's getting late, I have to go back to the shop, please excuse me."Lord Hou, who was sitting opposite, said, "I won't keep Madam Xue either. Let me take you back.""No need to trouble Lord Hou." Madam Xue said hurriedly.Lord Hou laughed and said, "You are a woman, so if I don't send you off, it would seem so ungraceful."After hearing this, Madam Xue could not continue to refuse, so she just muttered, "Is there such a thing?"She stood up first, and Lord Hou also stood up. The two of them went downstairs together, and the manager of the Pear Garden also saw them to the door. Outside the door stood a large double-drawn carriage, and two men were standing by the side with horses. One man opened the wooden door at the back, lifted the curtain, and bowed to wait for the two to get in the carriage.M

It had already darkened, and the palace was already a night scene. Zhu Gaoxu went straight to the Imperial Concubine Palace.When Miaojin went out to greet him, he followed the etiquette in front of the palace people and didn't ask any questions. But Zhu Gaoxu came back so late and was still wearing clothes that were not part of the royal etiquette. He could vaguely see a scrutinizing look in Miao Jin's eyes.Zhu Gaoxu felt a little guilty for no reason. But when he thought about it, he hadn't done anything, and he didn't seem to have any intention of finding a woman. Even before meeting Mrs. Xue, he didn't know that the person he was meeting was a woman. What on earth was he guilty of?When the two of them arrived at the palace, most of the palace attendants left. Miao Jin then said, "Your Majesty smells of alcohol. Has he had a meal?"Zhu Gaoxu nodded in agreement.Miaojin said, "I asked someone to prepare hot water. Your Majesty, please take a
Game of the Throne Chapter 975: Makeup
It is said that the bronze mirrors made by the Xue family have two special features. First, most of the Xue family mirrors are antiques, using antiques from the Han and Tang dynasties to make models and then cast. In addition, lake water must be used to polish the mirror surface.Perhaps because of this impression, when Zhu Gaoxu saw Lady Xue again, he immediately thought of the image of a clear lake. Although she was wearing a pink coat and skirt, and her hair was tied up in a graceful and dignified bun, she was not wearing any makeup, and her fair face was beautiful. It just looked a little plain.When greeting her, Zhu Gaoxu pretended to support her, looked her over, and asked, "It seems that the shopkeeper of the Xue family has responded?"Madam Xue said in a gentle tone, "The master has agreed, and I am willing to accept this job from the government.""Very good." Zhu Gaoxu clapped his hands and said, "Then the matter is done."Madam Xue loo
Game of the Throne Chapter 976 This is not what I meant
The air was obviously very noisy, but Zhu Gaoxu felt as if it was very quiet. Probably because he didn't pay attention to the sounds outside, he only noticed that Mrs. Xue was silent.Mrs. Xue finally spoke, but her voice became smaller and smaller, "In the past, the slave family always thought that they would never become that kind of person. The neighbors made irresponsible remarks, and the slave family had a clear conscience. But..." She suddenly sucked hard. After taking a breath, he raised his head and said, "The Nu family is not that kind of person."Zhu Gaoxu didn't know whether to take back the bundle containing the rouge and powder box or push it away. He thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll give it to someone else."Madam Xue kept her head down and said nothing.The atmosphere was a bit awkward, so Zhu Gaoxu looked around and said with a smile, "This name is quite interesting. It should come from a saying, 'There is heaven above and Suzh

But it is still not as good as in the past, when Daning City had a prince's palace and a large number of officials.Early in the morning, the most crowded place is the front street market. There are small shops around, and many peddlers, it is a mess, but also lively. The weather is still cold in the early spring, especially in the early morning, many people wear thick clothes, which makes them look a little bloated.Sun Yonger passed by here and stopped to watch for a while. He was going to the Liaodong Military Commission's office in Daning to do some work. Basically, he wanted to receive the things he needed for taking office and register his name so that he could follow the troops heading east to Liaoyang.The Wangji "馃子" shop across the street was doing good busin

Major war preparations are usually difficult to hide, and Arutai and others have already noticed the movements of the Ming army. But until now, the information they knew was still incomplete.This is because the spies of the Liaodong garrisons, including the Uriankhai and Khorchin peoples active in the south, had recently suffered a serious blow.First, the Ming court sent the Minister of Justice to Daning City to interrogate and arrest many military officers who had secretly traded with the Uriankhai people. The case affected a wide range of military officers, from Daning City to Liaodong Metropolitan Command, and countless military officers were convicted. It is said that Cao Yi, the commander of Liaodong Metropolitan Command, was exiled to the distant Nurgan Metropolitan Command because of this.Then the Ming officials arrested a captain named Wang and found that he was secretly communicating with a Mongolian spy, so they also arrested the Mongolian spy.

The time of joy and relaxation is always short. After people enjoyed the whole roasted lamb and milk wine, the warm and hospitable songs of persuading people to drink disappeared, and everyone's demeanor gradually became solemn.The tribesmen of the host, Toluhuchar, were making milk tea. They boiled the black flakes from the Han area with milk and water. While the leaders were drinking the milk tea, they started to talk about business.Aluta observed the Khan Adai who was sitting above him and saw that the Khan also looked troubled.This war may not be particularly important to the Ming Dynasty, at least it did not affect the fate of the country. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not personally lead the army, and the target of the attack was not the heartland of Mongolia. But for the Tatars, it was indeed very crucial.The Oirat people already had a Khan, called Dabari Khan. As long as the new Khan of the Tatar tribes, Adai (the Khan of All Mongolia
Game of the Throne Chapter 980: Thick Smoke
The earth was not quiet. The sound of the wind was filled with the sound of horse hooves, shouts, and the noise of various drums and trumpets. But when Adai Khan rode up to a high ground, he stood for a while and felt that the world seemed to be shrouded in a kind of emptiness. Perhaps it was because the gently undulating earth was too vast, and countless people in it were as light as ants.Adai Khan had talked a lot with his subordinates before, but now he spoke very little. Many complicated thoughts suddenly disappeared at this moment, and he just looked at the battlefield intently.The Ming army's baggage train was very large, and it was arranged on the ground in the shape of a long dragon, stretching very long, with no end in sight, as if it divided the entire land into two sides. The long dragon was filled with smoke, and the crowd in the distance was hazy. There might be 20,000 or 30,000 people, or 30,000 or 40,000 people. Adai Khan could not estimate it jus
