Zhengde laughed, "Concubine Mu is very right, but the aesthetics are different in different places, and the envoys don't have to care too much." ”

Li Dongyang bowed his head, touched his beard and said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. ”

After a pause, he said: "Queen Taizuma was not bound back then, but this does not hinder her benevolence. ”

A group of courtiers responded, and Pilleiz had nothing to say, so he had to bow and retreat.

It's just that there are always one or two moths in this harmonious atmosphere, and a waiter from the Ministry of Rites stood up and said: "Back then, Meng Yuan occupied my Central Plains, and it was bloody all over the place, which was bad for my Chinese etiquette, and it was reasonable that Queen Ma was not bound." It's just that now that my Ming Dynasty has restored its Chinese clothes, and the ministers beat His Majesty, I should tell the world that all the women in the world are bound. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent. The fire Yasan glanced at the somewhat darkened eyes of the Son of Heaven, and translated it indiscriminately.

This is a demolition of my own family, and I must not let Westerners know what they are talking about! Otherwise, it will be a shame!

There was a cold glint in Jian Ning's eyes, and the Queen Mother unconsciously shrank her feet into her skirt.

Unfortunately, Jian Ning is not the only one in this palace. In fact, the vast majority of women in this house are bigfooted.

The palace maid was born humblely, how could she be bound to her feet? What else do you do when you are burdened with labor in the palace and your little feet are wrapped? And the queen mother's father is just a poor talent, and even above are farmers, how can such a family be bound?

As for Queen Xia, Concubine De, and Concubine Xian's feet were also very unwrapped. The concubines of the Ming Dynasty were born very low, and generally people with low births are not full. Some of them suddenly go to wrap their feet. But when I missed my childhood, my feet were not very "beautiful". Now Queen Xia is even more bold, seeing that Jian Ning and the Queen Mother are both Tianzu, she secretly relaxes the footcloth every day, and corrects it little by little with strips of cloth......

Concubine De, Concubine Xian is also secretly doing this. They felt that probably the Son of Heaven favored Concubine Mu, probably because Concubine Mu was a heavenly foot. After all, the first emperor only had one queen mother, and wasn't the queen mother also Tianzu? So as soon as the minister's words came out, several noble women behind the screen were a little weak-hearted.

And the faces of the few people who sat with them were already red, and only Xi'er's face was as usual. She was born humble, and she didn't want to suffer that sin when she was developed. And I don't realize that a woman's feet are something unsightly. In her hometown, when she worked for her mother, her skirt couldn't cover her feet, didn't she live well?

But the queen mother is the queen mother, and after being surprised, she said: "This is the full moon of the prince, how can you talk about state affairs?" If this Han and Tang woman doesn't wrap her feet, won't the Han and Tang Dynasty be strong? ”

"The Queen Mother, the Han and Tang Dynasties were strong, but there were also Lu Pheasant and Empress Wu and the like."

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites obviously doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and as a clear stream, it is necessary for him to maintain his bones. Even the Queen Mother can't back down.

"Poof".

A sneer came from behind the screen, and Jian Ning's voice came out again, "If you follow Aiqing's words, then wrap the man's feet well, so that everyone can be virtuous." ”

"Concubine Mu!"

The squire's face turned red, and he said angrily: "You are messing around!" ”

"Is it Aiqing regardless of the occasion, I don't know the severity or the palace is messing around?!"

Jian Ning's tone became stern, "What is the occasion today, Aiqing doesn't know?" ”

"There is a fair opinion on the merits!"

The waiter raised his neck, "Eat the king's lu, bear the king's worries, the minister, as the servant of the Ministry of Rites, has the responsibility of educating the etiquette of the subjects of the world, so the minister is not unhappy!" ”

"Hah!"

Jian Ning laughed, "What a good eater, bear the worries of the king!" ”

Jian Ning sneered, "As the saying goes: family ugliness should not be publicized. Today, the foreign envoys are here, and the face of the monarch is gloomy, is this your way of loyalty?!! ”

"Is this your way of loyalty?!!" exploded in the hall like a thunderbolt, and Jian Ning's momentum became stronger and stronger, "We can discuss the advantages and disadvantages behind closed doors, behave and do things, regardless of the occasion, just open your mouth!" A gentleman is cautious, you should look at the world with a wise heart, be honest in the middle, and form in the outside, do you still want this palace to teach you? ! Did your book go in the belly of a reading dog?!!! ”

It's scary!

To be honest, this is the first time that the ministers have really faced this concubine. In the past, I only speculated about her appearance in the text. I don't know what I look like now, but I can listen to this voice, this style of speaking, it is worthy of being the person who brought down Liu Jin! It's terrible, it's imposing!

The squire's face flushed. He used to rely on spraying people to eat, but he felt a little flustered, how could this be?! He relied on "spraying" to eat and release!

Concubine Mu, a woman who doesn't abide by women's morals! It is unforgivable that the dignified Fengtian Temple dared to reprimand him for this clear stream!

He cheered up his spirits, held his neck high, and said: "The minister was born as a two-rank jinshi, and he is proficient in the language of the sage. The sage has a saying......"

"Alright."

Zhengde, who had been silent for a long time, said with a cold face: "If Aiqing is unwell, go back." ”

"Your Majesty?!"

The squire was shocked, "...... minister"

"Go down!"

Zhengde patted the armrest, "Don't be strong if your body is not good, my country still depends on Er and wait!" Today's state banquet, don't talk about state affairs! Zhang Yong, send Chen Aiqing back! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty."

Li Dongyang stood up, "Chen Shilang is also loyal to attend the state banquet when he is sick. ”

As he spoke, he said to the waiter: "Chen waiter, if there is anything to say at the meeting, don't let outsiders see jokes." ”

The squire opened his mouth, and finally lowered his head, and saluted: "Minister Meng Lang, Your Majesty forgives you." ”

Zhengde's good mood was ruined, but it was not easy to attack in the presence of foreign guests, so he had to go down Li Dongyang's steps, "Go back and sit." ”

Pilez also saw that the atmosphere was wrong, but the translator obviously translated it wrong, but he had just choked on Jian Ning, so he didn't dare to open his mouth easily.

The Spanish envoy to the Great Eclipse watched with an unfathomable smile on his lips. Unlike the Portuguese, they came into contact with the Ming people earlier.

There is no need to mention the big cannibals, they have been in contact with it in the Han Dynasty, and the contact has not been interrupted later, even if the Ming Dynasty is in retreat, there are always bold Han people who come into contact with it, so this official language can also be understood. As for the Spaniards......

There are a lot of Han people in Luzon, and they can't survive along the coast and go to the sea to earn a living. Although it is the first time to set foot on the land of the Ming Dynasty, it is not very unfamiliar with the language of the Ming Dynasty. Without a translator, I can't hear it very clearly, but I can still hear it a rough idea.

Hehe, infighting? It's really interesting.

But what's even more interesting is that the Portuguese are deflated, which makes the Spanish feel very refreshed. These two countries are now two of the most powerful fleets on the entire ocean of the earth, and each of them is eyeing the trade of the Ming Dynasty. In the spirit of the enemy's loss and I will be compensated, the Spanish people and the great cannibals jumped out one after another, expressed their praise, and then offered gifts.

The gift is nothing more than an overseas curiosity, in fact, there is no shortage of Daming now, but people are sincere, just accept it.

The banquet became lively again, and Xia patted his heart and said, "I was really scared to death just now." ”

Zhang glanced at her and said, "What are you afraid of?" There is a mourning family, do you think that squire can still turn the sky upside down? ”

After saying that, his eyes showed appreciation, and he said to Jian Ning: "Concubine Mu, you just said it very well, polite and courteous, and without losing women's morality. ”

"Let the mother smile."

Jian Ning got up and blessed his body, "Although Chen Shilang is upright, in the end, it will damage the face of the country, and the concubines are deeply favored by the emperor, so they dare not let His Majesty lose face." ”

"You're doing a great job."

The Empress Dowager sighed, "These clear streams are the most difficult to deal with, if you just lose your momentum, this banquet will not be held today." ”

She shook her head lightly, obviously having a deep understanding of Da Ming Wenchen's urine. Back then, the emperor favored her alone, didn't he say that she was arrogant? It's really pitiful, she obviously hasn't done anything, and she is also kind to the palace people, and I don't know where this came from?

"But Concubine Mu ......"

The Queen Mother said meaningfully: "You have to be mentally prepared, you have been in the limelight today, and I am afraid that you will have to fight back." ”

Jian Ning pursed her lips and smiled, "The Queen Mother thinks it's good to wrap this up?" ”

The queen, Concubine De and others were so scared that they didn't dare to eat anything. Since the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, this custom has become a symbol of everyone's beauty. Although no one said that this was moral, it is true that Bigfoot is now regarded as lowly and difficult to marry.

"What does Concubine Mu think?"

The Empress Dowager smiled lightly, took a sip of wine and said, "The king of Chu has a thin waist, and there are many hungry people in the country." This wrapping foot, the mourning family looks at it and has a similar meaning. ”

"Niang Niang Shengming."

Jian Ning said: "The concubine likes history books, and she has recently discovered some interesting things. ”

"Oh? What's interesting about Concubine Mu? ”

"The concubines look at the history books of the Song Dynasty, and the height requirements for recruiting soldiers in the Song Dynasty are really unusual. is to do logistics cleaning, must be more than 5 feet 3 (about 1.65 meters), if it is a forbidden army, there is no more than 5 feet 6 (1.75 meters), and even the minimum threshold can not be touched. Like Yu Linwei, who is in charge of the Son of Heaven, he must be a six-foot man!

Six-foot man, this is about 1.85 meters. It can be seen that the people in the Tang and Song dynasties were not short, and there were still many tall people. Otherwise, why did the Song Dynasty, which was known for its "redundant soldiers", recruit so many tall men?

You must know that the Song Dynasty implemented a conscription system, and most of the recruits were people who were famine. Then choose the strong ones as the forbidden army and the weak ones as the box army...... The fact that so many tall people can be selected among the victims can only show that the average height of the Song people is not very low.

But on the other hand, the Ming Dynasty ......

In the historiography of the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there were still many tall people. But now, 1.7 meters can be regarded as tall, what is the reason?

A person's height has a lot to do with genes and diet. But in addition, it also has a lot to do with the mother's physical fitness.

It is not only the woman's feet that are destroyed by foot binding, the damage is holistic, and the pelvis will be narrowed as a result. In addition, it is inconvenient to move around the feet, and after pregnancy, the burden is even heavier, and the qi and blood are not smooth, how can this child be strong?

The innate foundation has not been laid, and it is difficult to make up for it later!

The Queen Mother listened thoughtfully, and then looked at the foal who was eating egg custard in the nurse's hand, and after thinking about it, she said: "It's ......good if it can be scrapped."

Jian Ning smiled, "The Queen Mother is compassionate, and all the women in the world will thank you in the future......"
