In the first year of Zhenguan, the first month of Dinghai (the third day of the first month). On the main hall of the Hongwen Pavilion, Li Shimin faced south and turned his back to the north, wearing a crown robe, and accepted the congratulations and worship of hundreds of officials. Why not the first year of junior high school? That's not because of the Emperor Li Yuan.

The so-called crown garment, which is quite a complicated garment. On the crown with gold ornaments, twelve black ribbons are used to hang the white jade beads at the front and back. The small ball made of yellow cotton hangs above the crown, hanging down next to the ears (indicating that you do not want to listen to right and wrong), and in the middle of the crown, the hosta passes through the left and right.

The upper body is a black crown robe, and the lower body is a light red robe skirt, and the clothes are embroidered with twelve crests. The sun, moon, and stars are drawn on the left and right shoulders of the garment and under the back collar respectively (among the twelve crests, the dragon, the mountain and the crests after them, each row is one for each line, and there are twelve in a row).

Wearing a white gauze middle coat inside, a black and white collar, blue cuffs, a rim, and a placket, and embroidered with blue and black patterns. There are three kinds of crests embroidered on the knees: dragon, mountain, and fire.

A pair of white jade pendants are hung around the waist, two large black silk ribbons are two feet and four feet long, and two small black silk ribbons are two feet and one inch long, and they are strung with three jade rings in the middle. Feet wear red socks with gold ornaments, red boots.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin's dress, and then thought about the process of putting on his clothes today, if one day in the future, he could not help but feel a little chill in his heart. It turns out that being an emperor is not so comfortable, it is purely to find guilt. What's more, if you have to wear this dress, worship the heavens and ancestors, play music and dance, chew words, and feast on the ministers, you will be embarrassed for a long time when you think about it. On second thought, no. Why embarrassment? Why do you feel chills? Li Chengqian lowered his head and thought about it.

In later generations, there were many nouveau riche and even ordinary petty bourgeoisie, who always envied the etiquette of Western aristocrats. Clothing, food, housing, transportation, speech and behavior, all learn from the West and imitate the aristocratic life of the West. As everyone knows, it's just a monkey and a crown. Do you know? The etiquette left by his ancestors is simply like the moon in the sky, while the aristocratic etiquette in the West is just like the light of fire. After a complete set of weekly rituals, it will brighten up everyone's little eyes. It's just that later, the country is weak and the people are poor, the inferiority is to the bones, the servility envelops human nature, forgetting the ancestors, and will only grovel, envy others, belittle themselves, and ridicule their compatriots.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian's heart suddenly brightened, it turned out to be servile, and his soul was also full of servility, and he always thought that the etiquette in ancient times was rubbish. No matter what, only the advanced development of the West, including the etiquette from ancient times to the present. Everything in your own house is backward, nothing is a thing. It is still the aristocracy of the West who lives well, or the aristocrats of the West who understand etiquette. It's really poverty that limits my imagination and thinking, and even my heart is enslaved by poverty, alas, I'm ashamed. No wonder the poor are poorer.

Today's feast of the ministers, the court is full of harmony inside and outside, "Qin Wang Po Chen Le" sounds very passionate and tactful, in addition to the initial inner servility, I always feel that the clothes and accessories and etiquette are cumbersome, and the sacrifice to the sky and pray for blessings is pretentious. Now it seems that spiritual belief and cultural inheritance are more of a symbol of civilization. Poverty can only be poor, and as long as the mind is not enslaved by poverty, it will eventually become rich. The filth in my heart was removed, and my spirit suddenly relaxed. Looking at these now, these scenes give people a feeling that they are indeed quite good.

In fact, today is mainly for the emperor to celebrate the New Year, after listening to the Son of Heaven's sacrifice to the heavens, praying for blessings, speeches and condolences, the ministers congratulate and dance, followed by a grand banquet, the monarch and the ministers have fun, and then it is over.

Still want to dance? That's right, formal etiquette, courtiers are to dance in front of the emperor, except for being really old, the emperor can pardon. Others don't jump? Can't jump? When you were an official, the Ministry of Rites didn't send someone to teach you? If you don't jump or deal with it casually, you will be disrespectful, the consequences of disrespect, think about it yourself.

If you want to get the emperor's respect and love, it is necessary to be able to dance, and those who can dance well are talents. That's the reality. However, someone has already taught Li Chengqian etiquette and all kinds of dances, but for the dancing of the New Year and sacrifices, he is also full of nervousness every time, and he is afraid that he will not be able to dance well and make a fool of himself, which will make Li Shimin disliked.

In fact, I danced a song and was quite popular with my grandfather, and the children danced in a well-behaved manner, with a clear eye. Looking at Li Shimin's expression, you can know that the custom is just like this. It is estimated that the original prince was abolished, whether it was related to lameness and inability to dance. Li Chengqian couldn't figure this out.

As a prince, he is taught etiquette and customs almost every day, and some of them are quite strange. For example, Li Chengqian has never eaten carp when he is so old, and if he is found to have eaten it, he will have sixty rods. Eating beef? Oh, being discovered, the sin is heavier. In addition, it is forbidden to set up stalls on the street to do business. You are not allowed to enter the market above the fifth grade, unless you are not discovered, otherwise it is ....... On the contrary, the common people are more relaxed, after all, in private, who will have nothing to do when they are full of food and have nothing to do, to catch a few people who eat carp? Go and see if you've killed a cow? However, except for sick cattle and old and dead cattle, basically no one is willing to kill cattle.

Also, due to the influence of memory, the title is not customary, and there are no titles such as Son, Young Master, Girl, Miss. Adult is the official title of the father, and in the spoken language, he should call Grandpa, or brother. What should I call [brother], I want to call brother, eldest brother, second brother. When you see a beautiful woman, you want to call a little lady, and when you see a handsome guy, you want to call Lang Jun. As for the prime minister, it is addressed to the prime minister. What is the emperor's name, he shouts on formal occasions: Your Majesty, and on informal occasions: everyone. If you have a problem with your title, what do others think of you in this country that values etiquette and face? What do you say? Even... You know. Hehe-hey - do you think it's possible to go back to the Tang Dynasty and not follow the customs? I'm afraid you won't be able to move an inch, and you'll die of resignation.

For the rest of the day, except for the officials on duty every day, everyone else was free to move around, or to rest at home, or to visit relatives and friends. Until the end of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. On the eighth day of the first month, he officially went to the court to work.

Li Chengqian has not been idle these days, and he keeps giving gifts every day, from teachers to fans. Of course, the two sides inevitably held friendly talks on topics of common interest and reached a preliminary consensus on specific cooperation matters, in short, the atmosphere of the talks was warm, the meeting was very successful, the two sides have a basis for further cooperation, and both sides are full of confidence in the common development in the future. (Quite poisoned by news clichés, stop here...... 5,000 words omitted)

Of course, there is a choice to visit, and it is impossible for you to visit all important officials, although Li Chengqian can visit whoever he wants, but he does not dare. Especially those military generals and state officials who hold real power. Usually meet at most to say hello, a few words of greeting, want to have a deep friendship, I dare not think about it. Li Shimin is not a fool, he came over like this, forming a party for personal gain, plotting against him, and he is the most proficient in playing by himself. Want to do it right under his nose? I'm tired of living.
