Shi Min did not stay in Chen's Dock Fort for long, and the next morning, Shi Min's patrol team headed for Xuchang.

Xuchang is the terminus of Shi Min's southern tour.

The streets and alleys of Xuchang are now very lively, up to the seventy-year-old bad old man, down to the seven or eight-year-old children are vying to leave, the scene of this empty alley is really rare.

Although Shi Min wanted to keep a low profile, his strength did not allow him to keep a low profile. And these ordinary people heard the news of Shi Min's arrival, and they all came out of their homes.

"Wow! That's a lot of people! With so many soldiers maintaining order, I wonder which big man is coming? An unsuspecting passer-by asked.

"You don't know yet, huh? It's the King of Wei who is coming to our Xuchang! ”

"King Wei? But when the prime minister? ”

"That's him! In addition to this King of Wei in our Great Zhao Kingdom, which other King of Wei is there? ”

"What a big show! The scale of this patrol, this posture, I'm afraid that even the emperor's pomp and circumstance are almost the same! ”

The vulgar big man said, "Emperor? What is an emperor? The current Great Zhao Kingdom is the King of Wei! Today, Your Majesty, this throne was snatched by King Wei for him! ”

"Woooooooooo ......" a dull and solemn trumpet sounded.

Immediately afterwards, from the empty passage in the middle, the first to appear was the honor guard holding the golden Jiaolong Xiangyun flag.

They stood side by side, with solemn faces, wearing thick armor, with big shoulders and round waists, and powerful martial arts.

More than 100 years ago, it was still the capital of the last emperor of the Han Dynasty, but since Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and established the Cao Wei Dynasty, Xuchang's momentum has not been as good as before, although Xuchang is still the county seat of Yingchuan County, but that's all.

Many people are not the high-ranking King of Wei, but they have never even met the county guard! This time there is such a big man, and he is still a high-powered big man, so these Xuchang people can't help but watch the excitement like dirt buns!

Behind the guard of honor are the guards who are stubborn, wearing red suits and thick armor. Some of these guards walked, some rode horses, but their pace was basically the same, and they all exuded a suffocating aura, obviously, this was a group of butchers in the truest sense of the word, and they had eight lives on their hands, if not ten!

After a while, Shi Min's Six Imperial Cars finally appeared, and with the appearance of the Six Imperial Cars, the nearby Li Shu were all looking forward to it, as if they wanted to see the demeanor of King Wei.

But it's a pity that Shi Min obviously won't show his head on this occasion, and Shi Min doesn't like this, just because of the danger of this kind of behavior, Shi Min has to be discouraged.

In this public, it is really unguardable if a few assassins suddenly rush out, although Shi Min is not afraid of these, but the open gun is easy to dodge, and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, suddenly shot out a burst of random arrows, it is estimated that Shi Min himself can't withstand it!

The first thing Shi Min did when he came to Xuchang was to summon dozens of famous families in Yingchuan, and it was obvious that these scholars had been waiting for Shi Min's summons for a long time, so they came to visit one after another, and were summoned by Shi Min to Xuchang's government office Zheng the next day

There were more than 30 Yingchuan scholars present, led by Yingchuan Qiwang, including Yingyin Xun clan, Changshe Zhong clan, Yanling Yu clan, Fangshan Fang clan, Xuchang Xu clan, Yuncheng Hu clan and Yingchuan Chen clan, the heads or representatives of these families gathered together to wait for Shi Min's summons.

"King Wei is here—" Chen Changsheng roared angrily, and the audience was silent.

As the figure slowly stepped onto the steps, everyone bowed down and said, "See King Wei Chitose!" ”

"Sit down."

This lobby is quite large, enough to accommodate dozens of people, but if dozens of chairs are placed, it will inevitably seem too crowded, so Shi Min ordered his subordinates to place not chairs in the lobby, but futons.

Shi Min knelt down first and said, "Rank, I don't know if you are all used to this kind of sitting posture?" ”

Chen Liang was the first to stand up: "Tell the king, I'm still used to it!" Sitting, there are kneeling and sitting, kneeling and sitting with futon, is sitting with a Hu bed, although the Hu bed has been introduced to my China for a long time, sitting comfortably, but our scholars are still used to kneeling! ”

Shi Min bowed slightly and glanced at Chen Liang with great appreciation.

Chairs have long been around in this era.

The Book of the Later Han Dynasty records: Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is good at Hu clothes, Hu tents, Hu beds, Hu sitting, Hu rice, ......, and the nobles and relatives in Kyoto actually did it.

In this world, chairs and stools were frequently used in noble families.

Although the current seat has the shape of a chair and a stool, because there is no title of chair or stool, people are still accustomed to calling it "Hu bed", and in the temple, it is often used for sitting meditation, so it is also called a meditation bed.

After the Tang Dynasty, the use of chairs gradually increased, and the name of chairs was also widely used, so it was separated from the category of beds. Therefore, when it comes to the origin of chairs and stools, we must start from the Hu bed in the Han and Wei dynasties.

Shi Min nodded and said, "The Chen family master is right. Kneeling and sitting is the traditional sitting posture of my Chinese people, only I am in China, facing the country, the state of etiquette, and Hu Rao Hu bed comes from the West, it is very comfortable to sit, but it cannot reflect the etiquette and demeanor of my great country! ”

Everyone in the room nodded their heads, as if they agreed with it.

Kneeling is the traditional sitting posture of ancient Chinese people, and it is the home state of Chinese people's daily life. The correct kneeling posture is very elegant, and it is a sitting posture that can best reflect the dignified, solemn, quiet, and humble manners of Chinese civilization.

Historically, the pre-Qin people knelt face to face, so they studied a wealth of philosophical theories; The Tang and Han people knelt and sat proudly, and the country was prosperous.

This habit seems to be the preserve of the island nation. Although young people in modern island countries are accustomed to living in chairs and sofas, when visiting people's homes, if they are invited into a Japanese-style room (tatami room), they will have to kneel on the cushion unless the host takes care of them.

Nowadays, people are still like this, when receiving guests, they should sit on an equal footing, and they must not sit on the bed to discuss matters, they must sit opposite the table, otherwise it is very impolite.

Shi Min's opening remarks are simple, but they can further capture people's hearts. The implication is that everyone is a son and daughter of the Han family, and they should unite to resist foreign humiliation!

Chen Liang was very cooperative, and got up directly and said, "The king has everything to say!" We are all obedient! ”

With the Yingchuan Chen clan taking the lead, the Yingchuan clan present did not second.

"We are willing to obey the king's command!"

Shi Min was very satisfied with this, pressed his hand, and motioned to everyone to be restless.

"Rank, recalling the past, our China has a long history, a brilliant civilization, and many glorious deeds. The Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Yu Xia, Shang and Zhou, Qin, Han, Wei and Jin, are all prosperous dynasties, but where is the glory of our Han family now? The Yellow River is our Huaxia Rao mother river, but now it is occupied by Hulu, Chang'an Luoyang, which belongs to our Huaxia Rao ancient capital, has been ravaged! ”

Shi Min said with deep hatred: "The Central Plains is bloody, the people are suffering, ten rooms and nine empty!" Hu Rao Iron Riding is wreaking havoc on my Huaxia Rao territory! At this time, how should we deal with ourselves? ”

"The only way to resist is to rise up!"

Shi Min said impassionedly: "At this time, the Han'er in the north is living in dire straits, waiting to be rescued. The Hu people are raging, those who dare to resist are all dead, and the survivors are all taking refuge in the Hu people, and all of them are defending themselves! But if this continues, there is only one end for our Han people in the Central Plains, and that is extinction! Extermination! Are you willing to sit idly by?! ”
