Seeing Qingji's resolute attitude, the ministers and doctors led by Kong Qiu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and felt pressure.

However, now, how can Kong Qiu retreat?

Qingji wanted to order all the people of the country to wear Hufu, which was intolerable to Kong Qiu and others.

Kong Qiu thought for a while, and then said bitterly: "The king, the ministers who have heard of the country of Zhong, the place where the wisdom and wisdom live, the place where all things and wealth are gathered, the sages who teach, and the benevolence and righteousness who give." ”

"The use of etiquette and music, the test of sensitive skills, the observation of distant places, and the righteous deeds of barbarians."

"Now the king is willing to attack the clothes of the distant land, change the ancient teaching, change the ancient humanity, go against the hearts of the people, and deviate from the traditional way of China, the minister is really deeply worried and frightened!"

"Please consider carefully!"

Hearing this, Qingji smiled slightly and said: "Kongqiu, the husband, so I use it; Celebrants, so it's convenient. ”

"The sage observed the trend of the times to adapt to the times, and formulated the ritual law according to the actual situation, in order to facilitate the people of the country and benefit the country."

"Cutting your hair short, tattooing patterns on your body, and opening your placket to the left side are the folk customs of the land of Ouyue."

"Dyeing my teeth black, painting on my forehead, wearing a fishskin hat, and wearing shoddy clothes are the customs of my Wu Kingdom in the past, and they are still preserved in many places."

"Therefore, ceremonial clothing is different, and it is the same in terms of convenience."

"Fashion is different, and use is naturally different; When things are different, there are also differences in etiquette. ”

After a pause, Qingji said angrily: "It is the saint fruit that can benefit the country, not for its own purposes; If you can do it easily, it will not be the same as the etiquette. ”

"Confucianism is a teacher and vulgar, and the Chinese guo is the same as the etiquette and the teaching, what about the convenience of the valley?"

"Therefore the trade-offs of things change, and the wise cannot make them consistent; The clothing of the near and far regions, the sages cannot make it the same. ”

"In the poor and remote places, the customs are also peculiar, and the people of little learning are also sophistry."

"Don't doubt what you don't understand, don't criticize what you don't understand, and don't criticize what you don't understand, so that you can be just and learn from others to achieve perfection."

Being jealous of this, Kong Qiu couldn't help but bow his head and sighed: "The family listens to the relatives and the country listens to the king, and the ancient and modern public deeds are also." The son does not rebel against his relatives, the minister does not rebel against the king, and the general righteousness of the brothers is also. ”

"It is the sin of the minister, the king, the minister is ignorant, he fails to understand the deep meaning of the king, and he dares to praise the opinions of the world."

"It doesn't matter."

Seeing that Kong Qiu was not convinced, Qingji waved his hand and said: "The system is permanent, and the people are the foundation; Politically economic, order behavior. Mingde first talks about cheapness, and administration first believes in you. ”

"The meaning of today's Hufu is not to nourish desire and be happy. Things stop and merit comes out, things succeed, and then good. ”

"The joy of a madman, the sorrow of a wise man; The fool laughs, the sage observes. ”

"The widow doesn't care how the fool laughs at the widow, if it can make the state of Wu further powerful, why should the widow be afraid of some sarcasm?"

Hearing this, Zhisu Neishi stood up and said, "Great King, the minister thinks that the customs of the past are more convenient. ”

"Huaxia has been dressed for a long time, and it is not allowed to be tampered with. A move, then the heart of the people changed, my Wu country originally lived in the southeast corner of the land, was regarded as a barbarian by the countries, over the years, outsiders' inherent impression of the Wu people, it is not easy to change. ”

"The king is now making the people wear Hu clothes, I am afraid that the countries will think that my Wu country is far away from the ranks of China and into the likes of Rong Di!"

"Besides, strange costumes may make people feel evil, and strange customs may make people frivolous!"

"Please King Mingjian!"

Qing Ji squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and retorted: "The first king was not customary, what is the ancient law?" If the emperor does not attack each other, what is the etiquette? ”

"Momentum and secularization, and etiquette and change, the way of the saint."

"Fuxi and Shennong use education without killing, and Yellow Emperor, Yao, and Shun kill people but are not angry."

"When the Xia, Shang, and Wednesday kings arrived, laws and regulations were formulated with the changes of the times, and etiquette was formulated according to the actual situation."

"The legal system and edicts can meet the needs of the times, and clothes and equipment are easy to use."

"Therefore, there is no need for the etiquette system to be consistent, so that the state does not have to follow the ancient law!"

"The rise of the saints did not follow each other but they were able to claim the throne, and the decline of Xia and Yin did not change the ritual system but went to extinction."

"Then violating the ancient system may not necessarily be criticized, and following the old rites may not be commendable!"

After a pause, Qingji waved his hand and said, "The widow is determined to implement the easy service order." ”

"From the widow below, all ministers and doctors, officers and soldiers in the army, must have a set of Hu clothes."

Half a month later, the widow was going to hold a hunt, and the two and three sons should all be dressed in Hu clothes. If you don't wear a bearded uniform, or you can't resign, you will be dismissed from office and take back your fame! ”

】

"No!"

Qingji's attitude really made the ministers tremble.

It looks like they can't do it without a beard!

Of course, Qingji will not force the ministers and soldiers in the army to wear Hufu in their daily life, and they must change customs.

He just wants to set an example, go up and down, and let Wu Guo quickly develop this kind of atmosphere.

Because Hufu lies in practicality, while the traditional Chinese costume Shenyi focuses on form, and it is better to wear Shenyi on more solemn occasions or when meeting guests.

As for the Hufu, it is more practical to use it for farming and warfare.

"Kongqiu."

"The minister is here!"

"You were in charge of writing a decree to encourage people to change to Hufu. Be concise and to the point, tell the people that you can wear dark clothes in daily life, and if you are farming or fighting, it is best to wear Hu clothes. ”

"Minister, obey the king's orders!"

Kong Qiu smiled bitterly and agreed.

Qingji asked him to be in charge of this matter, didn't he embarrass him?

……

As soon as the promulgation of the easy service order implemented by Wu State, it immediately set off an uproar at home and abroad.

Just as Qingji guessed, many people are ridiculing his approach, thinking that Wu has deviated from Chinese traditions, is deviant, and gradually moved closer to Rong Di in the northwest in terms of customs and habits.

Regarding the order of Yi, the people of Wu State have different opinions, forming a state of opposition.

"The king wants to ride and shoot in Hufu, and I don't know whose slander he has followed! How can the Chinese clothing and crown system from ancient to present be easily changed? ”

"If it's just a change, that's it, it's a total denial! The king asked me and other people to change to Hu clothes, didn't this make my Wu Kingdom be laughed at by the world? ”

"Definitely! What's wrong with Hufu? Hufu is indeed more practical than my traditional Chinese costume. ”

"If you are working in the fields, or going out to hunt, or going into battle, it is really inconvenient to wear deep clothes."

"This is a fallacy! Slippery world! ”

"You are presumptuous!"

"This is the king's edict, how dare you disobey it? The king doesn't have to force you to change into Hu clothes, you can wear deep clothes, and you can also wear Hu clothes! ”
