Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 289

The sentry soldiers put on new clothes.

Black leather boots, white pigskin belt, brass belt buckle, clothes buckle.A navy blue tight suit, a bright red cloak, and a purple gold-edged award belt, with light yellow hanging wadding.Each person had a pair of pure white gloves, and was equipped with a barrier knife, a black scabbard, and a handle wrapped with light yellow silk thread.

"It violated the rules." Ren Can and Zhang Shigui said in unison.

"Wrong there?" Liu Mu was puzzled.

"Purple is not available unless it is of the third rank. This is the rule of the Ministry of Rites, and even this bright red can only be used if it is of the fifth rank or above." Ren Can explained to Liu Mu.

But Liu Mu said: "As the royal guard, since it is a special guard of the royal family, you must have a royal feeling on your body. It's better to have people change their clothes and then go to ask for orders. At most, I will pull them back and wash and dye them again. It's just what you want Wait for a few more days, and it is estimated that it will be delivered before the heavy snowfall."

"You..." Ren Can wanted to say Liu Mu, you rascal.

But thinking about it again, what Liu Mu said made sense. As a royal guard, it seems reasonable to say that the clothes on his body have a little bit of royal feeling.

Ren Can asked Liu Mu to take out all the costumes of all levels.

The interior outfit turned out to be pure white, and then decorated with red, light yellow, and lavender.The outer dress is pure black, with white, blue, and light yellow embellishments.The only thing that is the same is the gloves, all pure white gloves.

The cloak of the general's uniform is pure purple brocade forged, with gold velvet edges.

Then the general wears a lavender red cape with a white border.The lieutenant is a blue cloak with a white border.The uniforms of the troops and soldiers are just more ornate with ribbons and feathers on their hats.

After Ren Can had seen all of them, he asked Liu Mu, "Is this without armor?"

"What do you want armor for? Ordinary little thieves and guards are scared out of their wits when they yell. There are really gangsters. Among the guards, there are still some who can fight in the house to rest. Whether they are on guard or patrolling, they wear armor that weighs dozens of kilograms." .Anyway, I feel very hard, so I don’t need A.”

"This... okay." Ren Can was once again persuaded by Liu Mu.

In fact, patrolling in armor is a very hard job. For him, walking from Anfumen in the west to Yanximen in the east, he would sweat a lot in thicker clothes in this weather.After all, a set of armor weighs fifty catties.

The main hall of the Tai Chi Palace is the Tai Chi Hall.

The court meeting had just begun, and Li Yuan was about to tell his courtiers that he took the initiative to reduce the number of palace ladies to three thousand.The Great Tang Dynasty is waiting to be rejuvenated, and as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he will set an example and reduce the cost.

As soon as the conversation started, the eunuch reported that General Ren Can of Qianniuwei asked to see him.

Qianniuwei is the forbidden army, Li Yuanxin said that it must not be Liu Mu who caused some trouble, and quickly ordered: "Tell."

Ren Can entered, followed by several people.

For the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, this kind of clothes had never been seen before.In particular, there is no curtain at the waist, and all of them are tight pants.

"Sage, Concubine Liu said that according to your order, I will change the clothes of the imperial army. I am afraid that I will violate the rules. But Madam Liu said a few reasons. First, the imperial guards are royal guards, and they should have a royal style. Then, the imperial guards Standing guard and patrolling are not fighting, so there is no armor. I come to ask the sage to show me."

While Ren Can was talking, Li Yuan was also looking at these clothes.

"I've seen those trousers before. It's very convenient for riding a horse, and I heard that the cold winter legs are warmer than the previous clothes. At this moment, it seems to be heroic. As for violating the rules, what is the etiquette?"

The Minister of Rites has been watching these people since they came in, and this will be an exception: "General Ren, are you going to choose one of these different clothes?"

"That's right. These are sentry outfits, patrol outfits inside the imperial city, and patrol outfits outside the imperial city. Team uniforms, captain uniforms, general uniforms, and combat readiness guard uniforms. These are just for different purposes, and they are all for the four guards of the Imperial Army. clothes." Ren Can introduced them one by one.

The Minister of Rites said in his heart that to say that it violated the system, he could only embellish it with some color.That is, the red cloak of the sentry is considered a violation of the system, and it is not an exaggeration for the general to use the red cloak.

After thinking again and again, Minister of Rites and his colleagues communicated with their eyes.

Many people nodded in hints.

The ministers were unwilling to refute the Tang Emperor's face for such a trivial matter, and the costume was clearly stated that it was only used in the Forbidden Palace, so they should agree to it if they all recognize it.

"Saint, I think Prince Consort Liu's words are reasonable. As a royal guard, you should have some royal style."

"Okay, Ren Can, go ask more people to change their costumes, I want to see."

"Yes." Ren Can saluted and withdrew, and Li Yuan said what he hadn't said just now, and then said: "Someone wrote a letter saying that Liumu owed the tax from the household department. This account is not easy to settle. I think Liumu He also owes the taxes of Sanyuan and Jingyang. Let him pay the money and silk of the four guards of the imperial army, and let him pay the expenses of the palace."

Cui Junsu from the household department made an example under the suggestion of the minister: "Sage, the household department records, 14 catties of steel and 50 catties of iron. How to settle the bill, these irons and steels require a huge amount."

"Let Liu Mu go to the Duke Huguoyi's mansion to settle the bill."

"Yes!" Cui Junsu Shili and Hubu Shangshu secretly laughed.

The amount of money is too huge, and it is indeed a lot of pressure for the Ministry of Households to take it out.The mansion of Huguo Yiguo does not refer to Qin Qiong's mansion, but a yamen in charge of multiple state capitals in Beifang after Qin Qiong opened the mansion.

After the opening of the government, it has the responsibility of collecting taxes from the state capitals and raising soldiers.

In fact, after the Tang Dynasty, the Protectorate also operated in the same way. Some rich Protectorates had to pay Chang'an, and Chang'an, who was poor, would also subsidize it.

The Huguoyi State Duke's Mansion is considered to be the first Protectorate's Mansion in the Tang Dynasty.

"Du" means all, "Hu" means the guardianship of soldiers, and "Duhu" means "general guardianship".

The Ministry of Household Affairs is ready to send the bill to Bingzhou, and let Huguoyi Guogong Mansion pay the bill.

As for the taxes owed by Liumu to Sanyuan and Jingyang counties, as well as the mining tax and taxes owed to Huayuan County.In exchange for the household department no longer paying the palace expenses and the military pay of the four guards of the forbidden army, the household department believes that this account is worthwhile.

For the taxes that Liumu withheld at the border, the Ministry of Household Affairs also planned to hand over an official document to Youzhou, Yunzhou and Liumu to argue.

Shuzhen, like the Dufu Mansion, has the duty of self-supporting soldiers to protect the border.

From a historical point of view, the Great Tang flourished in the Duhu and was defeated by the Duhu. The Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty was caused by the Duhu, and it was also quelled by other Duhu.In the late Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was weak, and this was the reason for the later Tang Dynasty when the warlords cut dramas.

At present, after discussing the frugal topic of the Tang emperor, the important ministers praised each other.

Outside the Tai Chi Hall, Ren Can had already arranged for the soldiers to change their clothes.

"Take the rope!" Liu Mu roared in the distance. He thought that the queues in these military stations were not straight at all, so he came up with an idea.

A soldier immediately brought the rope.

Li Yuan, standing at the top of the steps, saw Liu Mu hiding in the corner, and asked the little eunuch to call Liu Mu closer.

"How about my elite?" Li Yuan asked.

　I was thinking about five shifts today, but there are still some manuscripts left.

　　But in the past two days, the upstairs and downstairs were being renovated, not to mention the noise, because the renovation caused a sudden power outage, which was too hurtful.

　　Save some manuscripts to ensure continuous updates, and if you save a little more, there will be five updates.

　　This month, at least one hundred changes, this word is still there.
