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
