All Chapters of Game of the Throne: Chapter 701 - Chapter 710

The army arrived in the capital in late February. Princess Lee Hyun-hye of Joseon remembered that Zhu Gaoxu had told her that it was the most beautiful season in the capital.As the ferry sailed across the vast river, Li Xianhui stood by the railing on the deck, looking at the long city walls, clusters of houses, towering pagodas, and looming towers on the east bank of the river. The vast city was on the other side. The most prosperous capital in the world was getting closer and closer.She completely forgot about the bumps and fatigue along the way, and her heart was filled with inexplicable excitement.The cool breeze on the river surface carried a faint fishy smell. In the distant harbor, a ship as big as a palace floated, and the sound of copper bells could be heard faintly. The dock on the other side was full of people. In addition to the crowd waiting there to welcome the emperor, there were also many porters, merchants and pedestrians carrying things.

The emperor had just returned to Beijing yesterday, and today he held a banquet in Fengtian Hall to celebrate the meritorious soldiers in the Northern Expedition. The palace was busier than usual. But at this time, the queen actually came to the courtyard south of the Imperial Garden to visit Guo Yan.The queen exchanged a few words in the living room and then handed a letter to Guo Yan.At this time, Guo Yan had just read the contents of the letter. The letter was written by their father, Guo Ming, Marquis of Wuding: Guo Ming requested an order to send Guo Yan to live in Fengyang!Guo Yan knew exactly what it meant once a member of the royal family was sent to Zhongdu. He will probably be completely abandoned and forgotten by the world, and live a secluded life. Of course, most of the time there will be a very grand rhetoric, which is called etiquette, law and morality.In an instant, Guo Yan seemed to hear a "buzz" and her mind went blank.Afte

Zhu Gaoxu stopped persuading, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea. At this time, he paid attention to Chen's face and eyes, and he immediately realized that his long speech seemed to be in vain.Because he had long seen that Chen had already been loyal to the Ming Dynasty; and her son had also been learning Chinese since he could read. This was probably one of the reasons why Zhu Gaoxu insisted on supporting this queen.(During the Yongle reign, the Ming army marched into Annan on a large scale, costing countless lives and military supplies. Although Zhu Gaoxu had always disapproved of the court's immediate direct rule over Annan, because he believed that since the Song Dynasty, Annan had gradually developed its own civilization and identity, and it would not be easy to re-sinicize; but since the Ming Dynasty had invested so much, he did not want the rulers of Annan to hate and reject the Ming Dynasty, causing the court to lose all its money.)

Before noon, Zhu Gaoxu stayed in Rouyi Palace without going out. During this time, he did not see Queen Chen of Annan again.Zhu Gaoxu spent the entire morning reading recent memorials, but he did not review most of them. Instead, he handed them over to the cabinet for processing; even so, it took half a day.There was another memorial from a foreign envoy that caught Zhu Gaoxu's attention. The funeral document sent by the Japanese envoy was signed by "Prince Minamoto Yoshimochi of Japan" and reported the death of his father Minamoto Yoshimitsu.Minamoto no Yoshimitsu (Ashikaga Yoshimitsu) once accepted the title of "King of Japan" from Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty and conducted Kango trade with the Ming Dynasty by paying tribute.(Zhu Gaoxu understood the so-called Kange trade as a kind of official trade with political overtones. Japan sent envoys and merchants to the capital to pay tribute, and the court granted the merchants the goods they ne

The next day, Yao Ji sent a letter out of the palace. The letter to her brother Yao Fang was sent by the eunuch to Qingshou Temple, outside Taiping Gate, the northeast gate of the inner city, because Yao Fang was still living in the temple.He lived in the temple for so long, but he never became a monk and made no contribution to Qingshou Temple.At first, the monks were in awe of Yao Fang because of his status as a royal relative. But when the new abbot, Monk Qinghui, failed to ask Yao Fang to save Qingyuan, he gradually realized that Yao Fang seemed to have been abandoned by the emperor, and the monks' attitude became more and more disrespectful.In addition, Yao Fang had been staying for nearly a year, and the monks finally began to get impatient with him. They only provided vegetarian meals because of his family background.Yao Fang also had no money, and by this time he had already lived like a beggar, and was very depressed every day. The Yao fam
