All Chapters of Game of the Throne: Chapter 951 - Chapter 960

As the year draws to a close, Jinan is filled with a festive atmosphere. The bright red decorations in the streets and alleys complement the white snow on the ground. The sounds of gongs and drums can be heard from far and near, and children are running and playing in the snow.Gao Xianning had been in Jinan Prefecture for some time. What he did most was to attend various banquets, contact old classmates, and make new friends in the literati circle. Gao Xianning was a student from Shandong. His deeds in fighting against the "Jingnan Army" in Jinan Prefecture were in line with the Confucian principles of loyalty and filial piety. Although he was later forced to serve in the Yongle Dynasty, he had already become a famous scholar with his articles. Now he is a favorite of the emperor in the Wude Dynasty, and there are naturally countless people in the literati circle who are willing to make friends with him.Today, he returned to the mansion drunk again, but saw a ma

The Xiangyin mentioned by Gao Xianning earlier was a regularly held gathering with strict hierarchy and order. In addition to being held by government Confucian schools at all levels, village elders in the village would also invite guests and gather villagers for Xiangyin. This was an important means for the Ming Dynasty to maintain order among the common people.The people who grasp public opinion here are, of course, the literate gentry and village elders.The Ming Dynasty was established less than 50 years ago, and the grassroots of the countryside was far from being corrupt. The gentry, especially the scholars with achievements, did not have a bad reputation and became a derogatory term for exploiting the people. On the contrary, for the sake of fame, reputation, or face, they often abided by some moral rules and were more sensible than ordinary people. They would do some good things such as building roads and bridges and helping the orphans and widows. Theref

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

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

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
