Although the state of Chu was called a barbarian earlier, he even said shameless words like "I am a barbarian". However, the state of Chu has always been ashamed of barbarianism, claiming to be a descendant of Zhuan, and constantly moving closer to the Central Plains culture.

As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Chu State referred to the political, economic, and military culture of the Central Plains to create a variant of the Central Plains civilization that was different from the Zhou Dynasty.

Huayi's distinction, in this era, etiquette first and then blood.

Taking the destroyed Wu State as an example, the ancestor of Wu is the eldest brother of King Wen's father, but Zhou Guo pinned his hopes on King Wen, but unfortunately King Wen's father is the old three seasons calendar, according to the principle of establishing a successor, King Wen cannot ascend the throne.

In order to pass on the Zhou family to King Wen of Zhou, Taibo fled to the south with the second Zhongyong and established the state of Wu.

After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhong Yong's descendants were of Chinese blood, but because of the wholesale tattoos of the Wu State, the country had no etiquette, so they were still regarded as barbarians.

Subsequently, the state of Wu was restructured and the etiquette system was established, and it was once again regarded as a member of China.

The other, taking the Zhongshan Kingdom as an example, is the kingdom established by the Di people.

From the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhongshan was a country established in imitation of the culture of the Central Plains, and efforts were made to transform the Central Plains. However, because it is of Di blood, it may also be that Zhongshan has a poor record, and Zhongshan is still regarded as a barbarian country.

Of course, Huayi's distinction is to serve the ruler, and each dynasty is different, and each dynasty chooses the most favorable statement for itself, or everyone will choose the best version for themselves, which does not need to be delved into.

And in the current time period, in the Chinese etiquette system, clothing and hairstyle are an important feature.

Confucius said: Microtubule Zhong, I am sent to the left!

You can see the importance of clothing.

On the other hand, in this era, in addition to the basic role of keeping warm, Chinese clothing not only extends to beauty, but also, more importantly, the etiquette norms of the Zhou Dynasty have been integrated into clothing.

Looking at the level of a person's status, it can be seen from the clothes on his body.

If you change to wearing a hufu, this does not have the function of identifying status, at least there is no conventional identification mark.

In case, a poor general in the army meets a rich lieutenant and does not know each other, how to distinguish the high and low status. Or at the banquet, when a poor person like Yan Zi meets a big businessman who is rich enough to rival the country, maybe a person like Yan Zi will not feel ashamed or humiliated, but will be happy to make a promise!

But what if it's a person like Fan Ju who has a tooth to be revenged?

Isn't the country just messed up!

Therefore, Jing Licai felt that King Zhao was crazy, and he didn't want to put tall Chinese clothes, but he was willing to degenerate to wear Hu people's clothes.

The state of Chu worked hard, and after many years of conquest, it was recognized by various countries and became a member of China, but the state of Zhao gave up so easily.

It's simply unbearable.

Xiong Huai heard Jing Li's words, and saw that Jing Li's anger was not in one place, and the corners of his mouth twitched, even Jing Li, who had nothing to do with himself, was so angry, the ministers of Zhao State, I'm afraid they were already crazy!

Chen Zhen nodded, and took Jing Li's words seriously, Jing Li's voice just fell, and he immediately responded: "What Ling Yin said is good, the court discussion caused an uproar in Zhao State that day, and King Zhao and the ministers of Zhao State went from morning to dusk, but King Zhao did not convince the ministers, and the ministers did not persuade King Zhao, and finally King Zhao and the ministers broke up unhappily. ”

Zhao Yu asked, "So did King Zhao dispel his thoughts and suspend the implementation of reforms?" ”

Chen Zhen shook his head: "Back to Sikong, King Zhao didn't dispel the idea of changing clothes. ”

"The next day, King Zhao convened the ministers again, and personally put on a Hu costume to show that there was no intention of humiliation, but there was still no result."

"On the third day, King Zhao summoned all the civil and military officials of the entire Handan to outside the Zhao Palace..."

Speaking of this, Chen Zhen paused and secretly glanced at the King of Chu above.

When the ministers heard the critical point, they were holding their breath, but seeing that Chen Zhen didn't continue, Jing Li immediately asked, "What's next, did the minister of Zhao persuade King Zhao?" ”

"This..." Chen Zhen hesitated.

Xiong Huai smiled: "It's okay, Chen Qing continues!" ”

"No!" Chen Zhen continued: "On the third day, King Zhao did not intend to persuade the ministers of Zhao State. ”

"After King Zhao summoned his ministers to the outside of the Zhao Palace, he directly took out a longbow, and then shot an arrow through the wooden sleeper on the wooden tower of the palace, threatening: If anyone dares to refute or criticize the law, the wooden sleeper that is shot through will be his fate."

"Hiss" When the ministers heard this, they immediately gasped, and then they all secretly aimed at the King of Chu.

Fortunately, King Chu is not as domineering as King Zhao...

Xiong Huai looked at all the strangeness of the ministers, and his heart was full of disapproval.

After being suppressed in the hall for a moment, Tang Yu spoke: "Dare to ask Shi Ling, I don't know what the outcome of this matter is?" I don't know how Zhao Guoqunchen responded? ”

Chen Zhen swallowed his saliva and said: "King Zhao was murderous at that time, all the palace guards were carrying bows and arrows, and all the ministers were shocked by King Zhao. As a result, all the ministers of Zhao who opposed the change were silent, and then they kept silent, and held on to the king of Zhao until the end of the court discussion, all of which did not say a word. ”

Xiong Huai can imagine the scene when the ministers were silent at that time, even if Yingdu was separated from Handan by thousands of miles, Xiong Huai could feel the suffocating breath at that time.

Keeping your mouth shut, this is definitely more objectionable than speaking out against it.

The allusion of the mouth of the people is more than the defense of Sichuan is still echoing in the ears, and the scene of the riot of the people is still vivid, and now the king of Zhao has forced all the ministers of Zhao to keep silent, this situation, even if it happened in Zhao State, Xiong Huai also felt the coldness of the whole body.

This is still in the Zhao State, unlike the Chu State, if it is the feudal monarchs of the Chu State who have money, food and army, if they are forced to an emergency, maybe they will directly rebel.

Thinking of the situation that King Zhao is facing now, Xiong Huai silently made up his mind that in the future, the state of Chu will change the law, and he must not rush to the front like King Zhao, so let the minister get it!

Otherwise, you will definitely die in the future!

King Chu Sheng is a lesson from the past...

Chen Zhen paused for a moment, and then said: "Finally, before the dispersal of the dynasty, the annoyed and angry King Zhao issued an edict that since all the ministers are not opposed to changing the law, then tomorrow the ministers must wear Hu clothes to go to the court, otherwise, they are not allowed to enter the palace." ”

"Result..." Chen Zhen paused before saying: "As a result, at the next day of the court meeting, except for Zhao Chen, who originally supported the change, and some low-level ministers of Zhao State, other important ministers of Zhao State, especially after the nobles of the Zhao State clan, all died of illness. ”

After Chen Zhen finished speaking, the hall was silent.
