The Tatar envoy, Asari and others, escorted by Ming cavalry, have arrived at the distant capital of the Ming Dynasty.
The envoys were arranged to stay in a place called Huitongguan. They will attend a dismounting banquet hosted by Ming officials within three days before discussing business.
As Aluta said, the Tatar envoys did not need to worry about their safety. It did not matter whether the officials in the capital were hostile to or hated the Tatars. They had their own complicated rules and would only handle everything according to experience and habit. Moreover, there were envoys from many other countries in the Huitong Hall, and they were all received according to the same rules.
As soon as Asari arrived in the capital, she was immediately invited to the imperial city by the eunuchs. Perhaps because the emperor knew Asari, her arrangement was somewhat special.
It was morning when Asari entered the city. There were a lot of people in the city at th
Early the next morning, Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the imperial concubine palace, said goodbye to Miao Jin, who was increasingly relying on him, and went to the morning court.Later, when the royal family was listening to the government, some ministers mentioned the Tatars' request for peace.Whether it is those who advocate peace or those who oppose it, the reasons given have no actual reference value. On the surface, everyone talked about righteousness, right and wrong, and singled out all the bad deeds of the Tatars' previous betrayal. Regardless of whether the Ming court condoned or punished them, they all stood on the side of justice. Perhaps this is why ministers put forward political opinions.As for weighing the pros and cons, it was not appropriate to have a heated debate in a place like Fengtian Gate. When Zhu Gaoxu retreated to Rouyi Hall and summoned the important officials of the cabinet, people began to have different opinions.Qi Tai, the M
Time flies, the years pass by like a shuttle."Woo..." A long and distant whistle sound woke Zhu Gaoxu up. When he opened his eyes, he saw a young woman sitting opposite him. She immediately showed a gentle smile. Her face was very smooth and white, full of youthful vitality, and she looked very young.Zhu Gaoxu then saw his withered and wrinkled hands, and then he came to his senses and realized that he was already very old. He almost forgot about it when he woke up. Recently, he has been getting more and more confused, often in a trance, and often has chest pains.He wanted to stand up from the chair, but it was very difficult. The woman opposite stood up and came over, saying kindly, "Your Majesty, please go slowly. I will help you." She was Xiaohe, the name Zhu Gaoxu gave her.Zhu Gaoxu finally came to his senses and remembered that he was on a carriage heading to the train station.It is now the 56th year of Wude (1465 AD), Zhu Gaoxu is alre
The carriage was filled with a steady rhythm of "clang, clang" noises, which came from the railroad tracks, and also caused the table to shake. Xiao He made tea, placed a silk handkerchief on the table, and placed the teacup there. The orange-red tea swayed in the cup.Zhu Gaoxu looked at her careful movements and asked, "Do you know why I gave you this name?"Xiao He Shuiling looked at him and shook her head.Zhu Gaoxu said, "There was a palace maid named Xiaohe before. She looked a bit like you when she made tea. At that time, I was only in my thirties. I was so young..."Xiao He in front of him was surprised, "That must have happened decades ago."Zhu Gaoxu nodded.Xiao He asked, "Your Majesty, what kind of person is she? Is she very pretty?"Zhu Gaoxu couldn't answer. Even the maid's appearance was vague in his mind, but he still remembered that she didn't seem very pretty. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he still remembere
At dusk, the imperial chef in the car prepared four dishes and one soup, all of which were very light dishes, as well as a bowl of white rice porridge.Zhu Gaoxu tasted bland and couldn't eat much at all. It turns out that his favorite seafood was not recommended by the imperial doctor many years ago. Sometimes he insists on eating it, but it does cause physical discomfort if he eats it.Waiting for him at the meal was Xiao He. This girl is good-looking, with fair and thin skin, but Zhu Gaoxu can only look at her and can't do anything. The two words of life, food and sex, have been lost to him.He quickly put down his chopsticks and returned to the study carriage. A dozen oil lamps were lit in the glass shade on the lamp stand. He picked up a book from the box on the bookshelf, sat back on the chair and read slowly.This is a very old handwritten book, the paper is yellowed, but it is well kept. There are some beautiful words on the cover: The Daily Li
Zhu Gaoxu opened his eyes, and a white scene suddenly appeared before his eyes. At this moment, he seemed to have entered this white world from endless darkness.Soon he found an IV drip nearby, and following the plastic tube down, he saw that it was indeed leading to his wrist pulse. Then he turned his head and slowly saw the screen next to him, which was lit with curves and data, as well as various modern things.Zhu Gaoxu was lying down, and in front of him was a huge screen, which looked like a TV of at least 50 inches.Zhu Gaoxu was stunned there, his mind was at a loss, there seemed to be some vague information in his mind, but he couldn't remember it, and his head hurt when he tried to think a little harder. But he still remembered that he was with Wang Bin not long ago, wasn't the electric light not yet invented at that time? Look at the big TV in front of him.He regained consciousness for a while, turned around and searched for a while, and s
Liu Gang knew nothing about himself at the moment. He touched his face and said to the robot casually, "I want to take a look."The robot said, "Don't move anything here. Do you want me to call a doctor for you?"Liu Gang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this robot was inanimate, and could only search for content through voice commands such as keywords. He changed the way he said, "I want a mirror."Sure enough, the robot immediately said, "Okay." Then it moved to the front of a cabinet, opened the drawer, and took out a mirror from the neatly placed small objects inside.After getting the mirror, Liu Gang found that his face seemed familiar, an unattractive face, probably because of injuries, with a sallow complexion. But fortunately, he looked relatively young, probably in his early thirties. He moved his feet and estimated that he was taller than the Liu Gang from a long, long time ago, probably close to 1.8 meters tall. He checke
The facilities in the tram were not very good and a bit old, which was different from the high-tech one Liu Gang had imagined a few days ago. Moreover, the tram was in the city center. The two got off the tram after sitting for nearly 20 minutes, and then walked a few dozen steps to a gray concrete building.There was a row of panels that looked like ticket machines in front of the building, and Liu Gang thought he had to change transportation. Unexpectedly, Zhang Er pushed him in front of the panel, leaving him standing there for a moment, at a loss. After waiting for a while, there was a sound of electricity running behind the panel, and the gate opened, and a silver-painted car moved out horizontally and stopped there."So it's face recognition." Liu Gang said suddenly.Zhang Er said, "Pupil."The two walked towards the car, and Liu Gang asked, "Does this parking lot cost money?"Zhang Er said, "What do you think? White Rabbit Company has alre
The history of mankind is a history of war. Gao Xu read books in the city library for a few days and suddenly thought of this sentence.In the records of these four hundred years, there have been countless wars, including at least two large-scale civil wars after the Ming Dynasty, and two large-scale melees among many countries in the world, which were called world wars. There are also countless battles and conflicts of various sizes that cannot be defined as world wars.As the victor of the two world wars, the Ming Dynasty shaped today's world order and led other countries in science, technology, military and economy. The area east of the Suez Canal and the western part of America is almost the traditional sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty, with multiple military bases at the level of guards and post overseas. At present, the Ming Dynasty advocates tolerance and benevolent governance, and advocates coexistence in religion, culture and other aspects, because
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. When the series is almost finished, a pay TV station und
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
