"How can you tell the difference between the Wu people and the Rong people?"

Qingji asked again.

Wu Zixu replied: "Between the Wu people and the Rong people, there are differences in language, accent, face, hairstyle, and even living habits. ”

"What else?"

Wu Zixu thought for a while, and then said, "The figure is different." The Wu people are either tall or strong, with a straight body, while the Rong people have a thick physique, relatively flat shoulders, and so on. ”

"What else?"

"This ......"

Wu Zixu couldn't think of it.

At this moment, Tian Sui Tho, who had been silently following his side, stepped forward and said tentatively: "The clothes are different." The king, the Rong people wear, all of them are Hu clothes, and I, the Wu people, are deep clothes. ”

"The hufu is tight and narrow, while the deep coat is looser."

Tian Sui Tho had long found that the cavalry wore loose deep clothes and had no trousers, which was really inconvenient for riding and shooting.

It's just that it's inconvenient for him to talk to Qingji directly, otherwise he might make some trouble.

Hearing this, Qing Ji just nodded and didn't say anything.

Tian Sui Tho then stubbornly said: "The king, the minister thinks that Hu Fu has certain merits. ”

"Hufu is generally a close-fitting short coat, with long pants and leather boots, and the body is tight."

"Short, narrow-sleeved shirts are good for archery, and long trousers with a crotch are good for horseback riding."

"If you can put Hu on the cavalry, it is bound to reduce some unnecessary physical restrictions, otherwise the cavalry of my Wu Kingdom, holding the bow and riding the horse, have certain limitations, and those who are tied are bound may not be able to show their skills."

As soon as he heard this, before Qingji could speak, Wu Zixu, who was standing on the side, frowned, and said with a dark face: "Tianzi, do you want the king to be easy to obey in the army?" ”

"Not to mention anything else, I'm afraid this will cause dissatisfaction among the officers and men in the army, and even the ministers and doctors, and the government and the opposition are boiling!"

"My Chinese clothes, how can I easily obey Hu?"

“……”

Tian Sui Tho was silent and backed down.

Qingji took a deep look at Tian Sui Tho and said slowly: "Tian Sui Tho, you are right. Hufu's trousers are tight and narrow, and the waist is tied with a Guo Luo belt, with a belt hook, which is indeed convenient for riding and shooting. ”

"The King's ......"

The generals were a little surprised.

According to Qingji, he has already agreed with Tian Sui Tho's desire to switch to Hufu for mounted archery in the army?

Qingji didn't say much, but smiled and left the school by himself.

……

The next day, the sky was bright.

Qingji was in Xi Shi's dormitory and woke up.

Today is the day of the Great Pilgrimage Meeting, but it is far from time.

Qingji is a king who is good at "fishing", he will not bow down to everything, and he is also sympathetic enough for his courtiers, so the court meeting time of Wu is generally not too early.

Usually, there is a small pilgrimage meeting every three days and a large pilgrimage meeting every five days.

The small court meeting is a political discussion between Qingji and the ministers at the level of the three princes and nine secretaries, and Qingji will listen to some advice from it.

The Great Dynasty Meeting is a court meeting in the Wu Dynasty, where all ministers with an official rank of 600 stone and above must participate in the court meeting, which is a routine business.

Whether it is a big court meeting or a small court meeting, if there are no special circumstances, it will be held on time.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the emperors generally met at the time of Mao, which is equivalent to between five and seven o'clock in modern times.

The ministers were blinded, freshened up, ate some rations, and went to the court.

It is said that there were many ministers who died on the way to the court.

How did he die?

Fell into the river and drowned.

Because the light was so faint, it seems not surprising that people had not yet woken up and fell into the water and died.

At that time, it was close to noon, probably between nine and eleven o'clock in modern times.

It's almost three poles in the sun.

Therefore, Qingji can allow the ministers to have breakfast, and then come to talk to him about government affairs, and then listen to the government.

In this regard, Qingji can be said to be very benevolent and sympathetic to the monarch under his subordinates.

Of course, if there is an emergency, Qingji may hold large and small court meetings from time to time.

Qingji, who tossed and turned for almost a night, got up early, couldn't bear to wake up Xi Shi beside her, covered her with a quilt, and came to the outside of the dormitory.

】

"Glue slippery."

"The minister is here."

"Some time ago, the Hu Fu that Yiqu Mo gave to the widow, is it still there?"

"Yes."

"Fetch it for the widow. In addition, find the hat, belt, boots, and pants worn by Rong Di, and get them here. ”

"This ......"

Jiao Slip asked hesitantly: "What does the king want to do with these bearded hats?" ”

Qing Ji glanced at the glue slippery.

Jiao Slip couldn't help but bow his head and said, "I'll go and find it." ”

It's not that difficult to find the things that these Hu people are wearing.

There may not be one in the palace, but there are a lot of Rong Di who live in Xianyang, and they can find some clothes from their house and buy them, and they can be sent to Qingji.

After a long time, Jiao Slip finally held a ball of clothes, boots and other things, and hurried to the outside of the dormitory to wait.

"Your majesty, the concubines are waiting for you to change your clothes."

Wake up leisurely, Xi Shi, who has already been freshened up, has to change into a crown dress for Qingji and let him go to the court.

However, Qingji, who was just wearing pajamas, shook his head, pointed to the Hufu that was put aside and said, "Today, the widow does not wear a crown dress in the court, but wears a Hufu. ”

"This ......"

Xi Shi couldn't help but stare at her beautiful eyes, dumbfounded, and her slightly open mouth seemed to be able to stuff an egg.

"How, my lord? Even if the king doesn't like to wear a crown robe, he can't wear a hufu robe, and wearing a hufu in the court is not a loss of decency? ”

Hearing this, Qingji smiled slightly and said, "Yiguang, what the widow has to do is to be systematic." The so-called system, why can't the widow say it in a word? ”

"Hmm. The king insisted on this, how could the concubines dare to be disobedient? ”

Seeing that Qingji had to wear a Hu costume to the court, Xi Shi could only let it go.

However, although this Hufu is not more cumbersome to wear than the crown clothes, for Xi Shi, who has not yet worn the Hufu, it is not ordinarily difficult to help Qingji put it on.

Hu Fu short clothes are knee-high, Xi Shi pondered for a while, and then changed into Hu clothes for Qingji.

Then, she took the belt in her hand, blinked her big eyes, and asked curiously, "King, is this a belt?" ”

"It's a belt."

Qingji nodded and said, "This belt is Rong Di's unique belt. ”

"The widow heard that because the nomads on the grassland live in impermanence, they have to carry the items they need for daily life, and most of the large utensils such as tents and cooking utensils are tied to horses."

"And some small utensils such as knives, swords, hand towels, whetstones, etc., can only be worn by everyone's side, this kind of belt decorated with small rings, hanging on the sundries, is called a belt."

"The Western Regions call the belt with a buckle 'Shibi', which translates into my Chinese dialect, also known as 'rhinobi' or 'Xu Bi'. ”

The "sash" in Qingji's mouth is a belt unique to the northern nomads, made of leather.

It differs from ordinary belts in that there are several metal plaques attached to each belt, each with a small hinge attached to it, and a small metal ring under the hinge.

The use of small rings is really not small.

"The king knows a lot."
