Chapter 301: National Idol (Part II)
―― Fujiwara Jingqing believes that Guan Bai has always been wary of Minamoto Yoriyoshi's wishful thinking, which can be seen from the fact that the imperial court has always refused to send troops to support, but coldly watched Minamoto Yoriyoshi mobilize his own troops and fight with the Abe family, which can be seen - it is clear that he just wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!
What's more, after reminiscing, Guan Bai had a lot of appeasement to Abe Laishi, which was also an important reason why he was willing to join Abe's family in the first place. It's just that I didn't expect that when Minamoto Yoriyoshi got rid of Abe Yoriyoshi with a counter-plot, the two sides suddenly died. In addition, Abe Lai died suddenly, and he didn't teach his two sons well, so his two eldest brothers really made up their minds to fight with the court endlessly!
The Battle of the Yellow Sea, Minamoto Yoriyoshi's fiasco, let the imperial court see the terrifying strength of the Abe family, and the resolute attitude of Abe Sadaren and Abe Norito also frightened the delicate ministers and lords in Kyoto, and finally untied the ropes that bound Kiyowa Genji, so that they quickly regained their strength.
Yuan Laiyi was also unceremonious, opened his bloody mouth, asked for the army, tax sources, and mines, and looked like he wanted to eat the court poor, Fujiwara Jingqing didn't believe it, and if he was as wise as Lord Guan Bai, he could sleep peacefully?
He wanted to use this opportunity to make Guan Bai realize that he, a descendant of the Fujiwara family, had a chance to change the situation. I believe that if you are as wise as Lord Guan Bai, you won't be unable to understand this account!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the invitation of Fujiwara Jingqing, Chen Ke landed on the main island of Japan and stayed in the chaotic Nagaoka Castle for a few days. The emperor's envoy really came to Nagaoka Castle and sincerely invited Chen Ke to Kyoto as a guest.
Chen Ke didn't want to make such a noise, but his ship was so 'damaged' that it would take a month to completely 'repair'. Since he has stayed in Japan for such a long time, it is obviously a great faux pas to refuse the summons of the king of the other side. So after 'careful consideration', he agreed to go to Kyoto.
That's right. That envoy's name is Fujiwara Ryotsuna, and when it comes to it, he is still Fujiwara Jingqing's cousin who has not yet come out of the five suits. When Chen Ke is sent away. Fujiwara Nobuyokiyo's demeanor relaxed a lot, and it was obvious what kind of promise he had received from Uncle Yoshizuna......
Chen Ke didn't know Fujiwara Jingqing's abacus. But listening to his tireless introduction, how popular he is in Kyoto; also broke up the intricate relationship between the characters in Kyoto and told it to himself, and he knew that he must have been 'strangely lived' by this guy.
The reason why he didn't break it was because in addition to trying to plot Sado Island, there was another reason why it was inconvenient to tell people...... Only by personally understanding the situation of this country can we determine every step of the strategy in the future, in case we accidentally do something stupid that 'hurts the relatives and the enemies are happy', and we must not let the angry youths in a thousand years die to death?
Not to mention, in Japanese history. The Heian period is second only to the Warring States period in terms of fame, and unlike the Warring States period, which was famous for its wars, it was an era of extreme splendor and elegance...... Of course, this is all his knowledge in his previous life. Since it's so easy to come, how can you not enjoy it up close?
Again. For a lustful person, why not experience the suppleness of Japanese women?
In short, there are many reasons to support his trip to Kyoto. But the results can only be said to be mixed.
Okay yes. When he arrived at Kyoto Castle, he was greeted with unprecedented warmth, second only to Sekihaku's right minister, Fujiwara Kyotsu...... He is the younger brother of Kwan Bai Laitong...... personally led the minister out of the city twenty miles to greet him. The ladies of Kyoto, whether they were married or not, all went to greet him that day, and that grand occasion would definitely satisfy people's vanity.
Then, Emperor Hou Lengquan personally held a grand banquet in the Qingliang Palace to wash the dust for him, and the queen personally toasted him, and admitted in public that it was his brainless fan, which made Chen Ke vain. …,
Then the next day, Guan Bai Fujiwara Yoritsu, also in his Phoenix Hall of the Equality Temple, held a banquet to entertain this great Song champion who fascinated all beings, and his daughter and concubine even unabashedly proposed, hoping to serve him during this time. The ministers present also proposed that they were willing to pay any price, hoping to borrow seeds from him...... Although he seems to be regarded as a stallion, Chen Ke's vanity has also been greatly satisfied.
Then, the ministers vied with each other to invite him to listen to waka songs, watch geisha performances, enjoy tea ceremonies, and invite him to taste poetry...... It all made his vanity so full that he didn't know where to put it.
But, did you find it? He seems to be satisfied only with vanity, as for lust, appetite, perception, artistic enjoyment, and so on...... Can you not mention it? It's a nightmare, a nightmare!
Well, I guess you're definitely wondering, so let's just say a few things......
First of all, we must admit that Kyoto City is very beautiful, with gorgeous buildings and many Buddhist temples, but at best it is on par with Dali City. But the city of Dali has its own characteristics, while the city of Kyoto is basically a miniature version of the Chinese city, or Luoyang City to be precise. You let Chen Ke, who has seen the real Luoyang City in this era, how can he be interested in this copycat?
Again, this is his highest-rated aspect. As for the people who live in it, it's really, really incomprehensible, and terrifying. The reason why he can't understand is that he doesn't understand why these guys are perverted tossing themselves, and horror is the effect of tossing......
Let's start with the men. In "The Tale of Genji" and Japanese comics, those ministers who are luxuriously dressed to the point of scum, and whose temperament is so noble that they are scum, just in terms of the clothes they wear, there are various names such as hunting clothes, belts, crowns, straight clothes, etc., and all of them are Eguan Bo belts, loose and bloated. In particular, the court clothes of the ministers who went on the pilgrimage to meet the emperor also had a 'long coat' that mopped the floor behind the buttocks, just like the hem of the wedding dress of the bride in later generations, and the longest was nearly two feet, which was completely for the purpose of wasting fabric.
Think about it, a group of small people with an average height of less than one meter four, wearing an incomparably wide robe, wearing a tall hat of nearly half a meter on their heads, and dragging a five-meter-long strip of cloth behind them, what kind of shape is it?
As for the aristocratic women, it is even more admirable. They were greeted in 'pot costumes', with loose robes underneath, and a hat on their heads, a long veil hanging from which they could trip over themselves without paying attention, and which looked like a flask from a distance.
Think about it, what would Chen Ke feel like when he came to Kyoto full of hope and saw thousands of flasks of different colors greeting him? Of course, he has seen the world, and it is estimated that this is because they are shy and unwilling to show their heads, this is a national habit, and there is nothing good to joke about.
Moreover, when Japanese ladies attend various gatherings, they wear the legendary 'Twelve Singles' with the most luxurious style, the most gorgeous colors, and as brilliant as the burning clouds! Wearing this kind of dress, it looks colorful and colorful, and has a solemn and generous classical beauty, and the visual effect is amazing...... Even a girl like Liu Yue, who doesn't like red makeup and loves arms, wants to put it on and try it out.
But when she really got the help of a Japanese noblewoman, after putting it on, she almost collapsed. Because the so-called 'twelve singles' is to fold twelve embroidered singles of different colors and wear them...... Note that the textile technology of this era is far inferior to that of later generations. Although the Song Dynasty was able to produce silk as thin as a cicada's wings, it was the opposite of later generations, and their good goods were reserved for domestic consumption, and inferior products were exported overseas. In addition, after the Japanese bought silk, they also liked to print and dye it themselves, and then embroider it, resulting in a very heavy fabric.
Do you know how much the 'Twelve Orders' weigh?
The answer is twenty to forty pounds. Twenty pounds is summer clothes, forty pounds is winter clothes, and now it is the middle of winter, so the Yue'e girl is wearing winter clothes. …,
Moreover, Japanese aristocratic women, I don't know what psychology, probably show off their wealth, right? often breaks through twelve orders, Chen Ke has heard that some even wear 'twenty orders'! I'm afraid that it will be more than sixty catties, and the infantry armor of the Great Song Dynasty, which is composed of 1,825 armor leaves, is only this weight...... And this is already the heaviest armor in Chinese history.
Don't take this as evidence of Song Wen's weakness, and say, 'Damn, why is it not as good as a Japanese girl?' Because you have to know that the Gothic full-body armor, which is known for its heaviness in Europe, is only forty pounds.
Moreover, the armor is not worn by the GIs all day long, and it is usually thrown on the cart when marching, and only when they are ready to fight, they will temporarily wear it, so it is called 'wearing it in battle'.
But the 'Twelve Singles' of Japanese ladies are the formal attire they must wear when they meet people...... Coupled with those delicate and cumbersome jewelry accessories, fans and handkerchiefs, I dare not imagine how heavy they are...... Wear it all day!
Chen Ke wanted to know, how did these sisters survive the summer?
He heard that the average life expectancy of Japanese noblewomen is 27 years old, while the average life expectancy of civilian women can be more than 40 years. It turned out that the ladies were either suffocated, crushed, or exhausted......
Well, although as a person from the Song Dynasty who is accustomed to simplicity and beauty, he is not used to this kind of cloth pier-like outfit, but for Chen Gongzi, who is good at understanding people's clothes, it is nothing more than a little troublesome. What's more, without him doing anything, people took the initiative to strip naked......
But Chen Ke couldn't mention any interest at all, because what was more terrifying than the costumes was their faces. As mentioned earlier, Japanese aristocratic men all apply fat powder, shave their eyebrows and ink, and Japanese women who love beauty are naturally more than enough.
Have you ever seen a traditional Japanese geisha show? That face, which is whiter than the novel, is an imitation of the Heian period...... And the geisha's makeup is improved, at least they have a mouth, and their teeth are white.
And the Japanese aristocracy of the Heian period, both men and women, regarded the 'black tooth' as their beauty......
