Chapter Ninety-Four: What a Guilt?

If others advertise the theory of 'the prince breaks the law, the common people are guilty of the same crime' in front of Wang Li, he will definitely spit on his face.

But if Wang Xu said this, Wang Li knew that it was sincere, that is, it was literal, and it would be strictly implemented.

Because he did find that Wang Xu didn't seem to make much difference whether he treated him, or those slaves and savages.

In his eyes, even if Xiaobai has no other symbolic meaning, just from the identity of a pet, it is countless times more expensive than those people in China.

After all, if the dog raised by the emperor accidentally dies, the person in charge of raising the dog, from domestication to feeding, will be executed.

Because in the eyes of aristocrats like them, most people's lives are really worthless.

They thought that the fact that these people could live was a gift from the nobility.

But in Wang Xu, Wang Li has never seen a trace of such views and feelings.

Could this be what Lao Tzu called the 'dog theory'?

Mo Lian secretly wiped her tears and carried Xiaobai upstairs with her arms, and she had the impression that this was the first time she was murdered by Wang, which made her very uncomfortable.

Wang Xu is also very innocent, he is not merciful to Mo, but after reprimanding Xiaobai, his tone has not changed for a while.

When he was pondering whether to explain, Tu Tan's voice begging to see him came from outside the palace.

"Come in." Wang Xu sat on the sofa and replied.

Wang Li also sat quietly on a more important seat in the palace to declare his territorial rights.

Tu Tan came in with Li Xin, who was dressed in a short dress, and came in after changing his slippers at the door, and gave Wang Xu a salute.

During the Shang Dynasty of the Qin State, they were basically barefoot, and Li Xin, who wore slippers for the first time, seemed to have opened the door of the new world, and after approaching the palace and seeing the decoration furniture inside, he completely opened the door.

"We don't have so many rules here." Wang Xu smiled and poured a cup of tea, "Just sit down." ”

Li Xin walked over a little stiffly, and sat on the sofa with a very strange shape in his eyes, and jumped up in fright when his ass sank in and leaned against the back of the sofa.

"Poof." Wang Li couldn't help but laugh.

Li Xin's originally pale face instantly turned red.

"How much better did you sit than General Li for the first time? How to have a face to smile. Wang Xu glanced at him.

"How do you manage so much? I can't even read and laugh? Wang Li rolled his eyes.

Li Xin scratched his head awkwardly and sat on the sofa again, although he was still a little uncomfortable with the soft touch and the feeling of being able to lean on things behind his back, but he quickly got used to it, and he was deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.

The word chair first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and chairs with backrests were influenced by Buddhism and Persia.

But before the Tang Dynasty, there were chairs in Huaxia, but after the appearance of the 'bed' in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was slowly improved, there was no chair back, just modeled on the stone pier, wooden pier, etc., and later after the Han Dynasty subdued the Western Regions, the Hu bed, Hu chair, Hu tent, etc. were combined, and the armrests were slowly added.

"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Five Elements Chronicles" records that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty "has a good Hu clothes, Hu tents, Hu beds, and Hu sits", and even "Kyoto nobles and relatives all compete for it"

But before that, the Chinese people who had etiquette sat on the ground, that is, kneeling.

There are historical, cultural, and geographical reasons for kneeling.

One theory is that after the formation of civilization in the Central Plains, the pants used to cover shame were open crotch, whether it was a stool or a kee, it was easy to be exposed, commonly known as "showing eggs", so this is a very rude behavior.

Another theory is that kneeling, originally a ritual for merchants to worship their ancestors, and the nobles of the Zhou people, inherited this sitting posture, and used it on formal or face-to-face occasions to form a set of order.

Therefore, it is said that the lowly "bend the knees", and those who treat others with courtesy bend their knees.

For example, Liu Bang was born recklessly, and he usually sees customers, which is his norm in the countryside.

Mencius's wife was sitting in a sitting position, and Mencius came home and saw that he wanted to divorce her.

Mencius's mother said that first of all, Mencius was rude, "will enter the door, ask who is saved, will go to the court, and the voice will be raised."

It means that before entering the door, you should let people prepare for it, you should not go in without knocking, and complain that others are not dressed and wearing underwear, so Mencius knows that he is wrong.

But kneeling and sitting is really tiring, and it is easy to have numb legs, so in addition to the sacrificial rites to preserve this form of kneeling and sitting, the furniture promoted in China is chairs and stools, which is convenient for Chinese people to rest.

And now in addition to being equipped with a sapper shovel, each Lone Bamboo Chinese is also equipped with a folding stool as standard to facilitate their rest while working outside.

Walking around the city did not make Li Xin feel anything special, because the city is really dilapidated in his eyes now, and even Wang Xu's palace is not as luxurious as his house for his little wife in Xianyang.

But all the furniture and decorations in the palace deeply attracted Li Xin's curiosity, he was also born rich and noble, and he didn't dare to say that he was comparable to the Qin royal family, but it was not much different, after all, the Li family was in the Qin Dynasty, and there were six generations of feudal marquis.

But all the furniture in the palace, he has never heard of, obviously the roughest wood and stone, can be put together to create such a dusty thing, so he firmly believes that these are definitely brought out by Wang Xu from the Xianmen.

The original worries in his heart were completely dispelled.

The fear of the unknown bewitched him like a nightmare, especially after tasting the flower tea that Wang Xu poured for him, Li Xin's face showed a drunken red, and the pores of his body were trembling.

This is definitely Xianmen's immortal brew, otherwise how could there be such a fascination power?

Wang Xu looked at Li Xin's fluttering expression as if he had been drugged, and did not disturb him.

"Zhai Qiu, come in too, don't stay outside." Wang Xu shouted at Zhai Qiu outside.

Zhai Qiu, who was sitting at the gate of the palace holding the sculpture on his shoulder, hesitated, and after thanking Wang Xu, he was about to walk in after changing his shoes.

"Presumptuous, how can you enter the temple with a sword!" Tu Tan frowned and scolded.

Zhai Qiu was slightly stunned, knelt on the ground again and kowtowed to make amends, then put the sword behind his back at the door, and walked over and knelt under Wang Xu and was silent.

Wang Xu tilted his head to look at the scar on his face, pinched his chin, and shouted to Mo Lian upstairs, "Get a sand mold down." ”

"Huh? What to do with a sand mold? Mo Lian poked her head out from the second floor.

"Mask-makers." Wang Xu replied.

Hearing the pleasant female voice, Li Xin subconsciously raised his head, then his pupils shrank sharply, and he subconsciously gasped and froze.

I was amazed by Mo Lian's appearance.

Then he quickly gathered his mind and lowered his head to drink tea.

Tu Tan noticed Li Xin's small movements and frowned slightly.

After a while, Mo Lian, who was holding a wooden box sand mold, ran down, followed by the little white tiger who had been coaxed.

The little white tiger stuck out his tongue and coquettishly drilled into Wang Xu's arms.

Li Xin's eyes widened again, looking at the little white tiger who was coquettish at Wang Xu's feet, and his face changed.

"Measure Zhai Qiu." Wang Xu said to Mo Lian.

Mo Lian frowned slightly and glanced at Zhai Qiu, pointing to the sand mold placed on the ground, "Put your face on it." ”

Zhai Qiu was stunned, looked at Wang Xu suspiciously, and then obediently said goodbye, and smashed his face hard, so frightened that Mo Lian took a step back, looked at the sand that he made out and frowned, "Let you put your face in!" It's not for you to smash your face into it as a flail! ”

"He just learned Yayan, you speak slowly." Wang Xu chuckled and waved his hand.

Mo Lian puffed out her cheeks and smoothed the sand mold again, and made a demonstration with her hands.

Now Zhai Qiu understood, and slowly stuffed his face into the sand mold, and a complete and concave and normal face appeared.

Wang Xu drew a mask pattern on the paper that half covered his face, just enough to cover the scars on his face.

"Send it to Tushan Lady and make it look better." Wang Xu handed over the sketch to Mo Lian.

Mo Lian nodded, took the sketch and sand mold and left, and Xiaobai, who was not favored by Wang Xu, also slipped away.

Li Xin licked the corners of his mouth, and said with some restraint, "Yesterday, I was ordered by the emperor, and the letter was opened, and I knew that I had no chance to envy the door, so I just wanted not to humiliate the ancestors, and I hope that the emperor will not be stupid and give advice." ”

"General Li is serious, since you have promised your ancestors, they will naturally do their best." Wang Xu smiled, "However, General Li's body has not recovered yet, and the big things planned are not overnight, so the general might as well cultivate his body first." ”

Li Xin's expression darkened, and he lowered his head and laughed at himself, "The emperor doesn't call me a general anymore, I dare not be ashamed." ”

"Brother Li's words are wrong, 3,000 iron cavalry against 300,000 Eastern jackal riders, even if Wu Anjun is alive, he doesn't dare to say anything about this feat, besides, you are not escaping from the battle, just waiting for the opportunity in a roundabout way, what is the guilt?" Wang Li walked over with a smile and said.
