The time for King Yingzheng of Qin to prepare for the dinner was Hai Shi, but now the hour is still half an hour away from Hai Shi, that is, there is almost an hour or so. Even so, the Jinluan Hall of Nuoda was already full of civil and military officials and ministers who came to the banquet at this time.
However, they all came to the banquet alone, unlike Wu Fei and Meng Tian, who also brought their female dependents.
For them, it was a great honor to be able to accept King Qin's invitation to enter the Jinluan Hall to participate in the banquet, not to mention bringing the daughters of the family. Moreover, under the feudal concept of the Qin Dynasty, women generally had to teach their husbands and children at home, and they were not allowed to go out and show their faces. Unless forced to do so, it is generally impossible to leave the door. Therefore, when they saw Xiao Tao and Bu Xianglian two women appearing on the top of this sacred Jinluan Palace, they were all surprised and puzzled, and they talked to each other.
Originally, Meng Tian didn't plan to bring Bu Xianglian to the banquet, because he had accepted the ancient traditional ideology since he was a child, thinking that women were not suitable to appear in the court. What's more, Wang Yingzheng's convening is of great significance, and it can't tolerate half a point difference. However, after some lobbying by Wu Fei's three-inch tongue, he finally opened his mind and brought Bu Xianglian to the banquet.
As for Wu Fei, that's not to mention. As a person of the future who has crossed over from the 21st century, where is there so many rules and regulations and conceptual constraints? If Xiao Tao was not allowed to attend the dinner, then he would rather stay in Meng Tian's general's mansion and not come to the banquet! What's the point of being in front of a group of big men who exude a manly air? Not to mention tasting food, I'm afraid I don't even have the desire to eat.
Therefore, even though he knew that he couldn't bring female dependents to tonight's banquet, he still brought Xiao Tao here. Moreover, he also persuaded Meng Tian to bring Bu Xianglian to the banquet.
"My lord, you see that the other officials came to the banquet alone, but we came with the ladies of the family, I'm afraid it's a bit rude to do so, right?"
The pointing and pointing of the onlookers suddenly made Meng Tian feel a little embarrassed. The next moment, he came to Wu Fei's side and whispered softly.
As a general of the empire, his words and deeds are seen by other officials, and he is always supervised by others. Therefore, the behavior of taking Bu Xianglian to the dinner tonight was discussed by other officials, and his heart was suddenly shaken.
At this moment, he already regretted his decision to bring Bu Xianglian to the dinner.
"Hahaha, why should General Meng worry about it? Since they are willing to discuss, let them discuss. As a dignified seven-foot man, why should we care about the eyes of others? What's more, General Meng has galloped all his life, doesn't he know that life is too short to be reckless?
Look at them again, they live their lives carefully, they have to be completely prepared for everything they say and do, and they are always on guard against the rules of those stubborn traditions. Doesn't General Meng feel bored and bored in such a life?"
Regarding Meng Tian's inquiry, Wu Fei said with a calm look.
In his eyes, life is just seventy or eighty years in a hurry, and he has to live a chic and reckless life. Wouldn't it be too boring to be bound by these rules and endless rules?
Of course, this also has to do with the times in which he lived, the accepted ideas. If he had lived in the Qin Dynasty with a clear hierarchical feudal system since he was a child, I am afraid that he would not have said such words at this moment.
"It's really a matter of listening to your words, it's better than reading for ten years, adults are high-spirited, and their attitude towards life is so calm and casual, and they will be admired in the end. It seems that the last general is really overthinking."
Wu Fei came out of the seat, and what Meng Tian said was stunned. However, he immediately came to his senses.
He was a military general, and although he also read military books and classics, the traditional ideas and concepts accepted in his mind were not very deep-rooted. Moreover, he has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, and he has also developed a dissolute and chic character. Wu Fei's words just now just woke him up.
"Well, since General Meng can understand the truth, it is naturally excellent."
Seeing that Meng Tian's guidance to him was a little clear, Wu Fei was a little relieved, and saved his lips and saliva to make a superfluous explanation.
"Your Majesty has arrived"~
Just as the hundred officials in the Jinluan Hall were discussing with each other, a young man dressed as a little eunuch walked out of the side door next to the main hall. After ascending the nine-story staircase, he went straight to the side of the throne that symbolized the Ninety-Five Emperor, and then shook the white whisker dust in his hand and announced loudly.
Don't underestimate the white whisker dust in the hands of the eunuchs, they are all exquisite. Otherwise, why do they take dust dusters instead of other items?
Whisk dust is also known as whisk and tail. It is to tie animal hair (horsetail, etc.) and hemp into a bunch, and then add a long handle to whisk mosquitoes, so it is called a whisk.
There are many records in the scriptures of Bodhisattvas or elders holding white whisks in their hands, such as when the Buddha returned from the Buddha to say the Dharma as his mother, Brahma tasted the white whisk and served the right side of the Buddha. Zen Buddhism uses a whisk as a solemn tool, and the abbot or agent holds the whisk in his hand to go to the hall for the public saying, that is, the so-called "bingfu", therefore, the whisk is a representation of the saying.
Dust whisking is also a well-known weapon of Taoism
In the martial arts of the Wudang faction, there are many Qimen weapons, and the dust is one of them.
As the saying goes: "Holding the dust in your hand is not a mortal", the dust in the Daomen has the meaning of brushing away the dust edge of the otherworldly, and it is also a thing that people in the Daomen carry when they go out to travel. In the Taoist system, the dust whisk is a kind of magic weapon in the dojo, and then the Taoist people evolve it into a weapon, which is a soft weapon and the like.
The well-known Taishang Laojun, Taiyi Zhenren, and Lu Dongbin among the Eight Immortals all use the dust to strengthen their divine might, and the fairy wind bones are born spontaneously. It has added infinite cultural charm to the historical documents of Taoism in China.
As for why eunuchs and nuns use dusters, the reasons are as follows:
The dust-whisker sweeps away the dust of the world and purifies the dust, which is intended to be pure and desireless, and utilitarian is like floating clouds. Nuns use this as a warning not to be tainted by the world!
The eunuch was mainly in charge of all kinds of chores in the palace, including cleaning the palace, the living and eating of the emperor and his concubines, etc., and the main purpose of holding a whisk was to clean the huge palace in time.
It is also said that the eunuch is like a rootless person, the eunuch, since the day he entered the palace and became a real eunuch, his roots were cruelly cut off with a small knife, and he naturally became a rootless person.
When the little eunuch's high voice fell, the monarch of the Great Qin Empire, wearing a majestic dragon robe and wearing the crown of the emperor, King Yingzheng of Qin, accompanied by six palace maids holding "barrier fans", entered from the side, and then stood in front of the throne of the Ninety-Five Emperor, scanning the people below the main hall.
Barrier fan, generally speaking, the two "barrier fans" held by the palace maids behind the ancient emperors make people feel the dignity of the emperor's position and the supremacy of power!
At the earliest, it was used by the emperor to repel mosquitoes and cool down in summer, but it was not so big. In later generations, it gradually evolved into a large fan, and its function was not only to repel mosquitoes and cool the wind, but also to become a symbol of dignity and majesty.
As a great monarch who unified the six kingdoms and completed the unity of the world, King Yingzheng of Qin naturally accompanied him when he walked around. It's just that it's late autumn now, the climate is humid and cool, and this so-called barrier fan is useless, just a pure exclusive prop. At least, that's what Wu Fei thinks in his heart.
