Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 851

"How to tell the difference between Wu people and Rong people?"

Qingji asked again.

Wu Zixu replied: "The language, accent, face, hairstyle, and even living habits are different between the Wu people and the Rong people."

"anything else?"

Wu Zixu thought for a while and then said, "The bodies are different. Wu people are tall, or strong, with a well-proportioned body, while Rong people are thick and have broad shoulders, etc."

"anything else?"

"This……"

Wu Zixu couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, Tian Rangju, who had been silently by his side, stepped forward and said tentatively: "The clothes are different. Your Majesty, the Rong people wear Hu clothes, but I Wu people wear deep clothes."

"Hu clothes are tight and narrow, while Shen clothes are looser."

Tian Rangju had long discovered that it was really inconvenient for cavalry to ride and shoot when they wore loose dark clothes and no trousers.

It's just that it's not convenient for him to tell Qingji directly, otherwise something might happen.

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

Tian Rangju then bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, I think Hu Fu has some merits."

"Hu clothes are generally close-fitting shorts, paired with trousers and leather boots, and the body is tight."

"The narrow-sleeved short jacket is convenient for archery, and the crotch-closing trousers are convenient for riding."

"If Hu can be used on the cavalry, it will definitely reduce some unnecessary physical restrictions. Otherwise, the cavalry of our Wu Kingdom has certain limitations in riding with bows and horses. I am afraid that it is not convenient for the cavalry to display their skills."

Upon hearing this, before Qingji could speak, Wu Zixu who was standing beside him frowned, and said with a dark face, "Tian Zi, do you want the king to change clothes 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 officials and officials.

"How can my Chinese clothes be easily worn by Hu?"

"..."

Tian Rangju was silent and backed down.

Qing Ji took a deep look at Tian Rangju, and said slowly: "Tian Rangju, you are right. Hu Fu's trousers are tight and narrow, and the waist is tied with a Guo Luo belt with a hook, which is really convenient for riding and shooting."

"Your Majesty..."

All the generals were a little surprised.

According to Qingji, he already agreed with Tian Rangju's plan to change to Hufu for riding and shooting in the army?

Qingji didn't say much, but smiled and left the school grounds on his own.

……

The next day, the sky was bright.

Qing Ji woke up in Xi Shi's bedroom.

Today is the day for the Great Court Assembly, but it is still far from time.

Qingji is a king who is good at "fishing", he doesn't know how to do everything himself, and he is considerate enough to his courtiers, so the time of Wu's court meeting is generally not too early.

Normally, there is a small court meeting once every three days, and a big court meeting once every five days.

The Xiaochaohui is a political discussion between Qingji and ministers of the Sangong and Jiuqing levels, and Qingji will listen to some advice from it.

The Great Court Meeting is a court meeting that all ministers with an official rank of [-] shi and above must participate in the Wu Dynasty. It is a routine.

Regardless of whether it is a big court meeting or a small court meeting, if there are no special circumstances, it will be held on time at Sishi.

The emperors in the Ming and Qing dynasties generally held court meetings at Mao time, which is equivalent to between five o'clock and seven o'clock in modern times.

The ministers are in the dark, freshen up, eat some rations, and are about to go to court.

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

How did you die?

fell into the Yu River and drowned.

Because the light was too weak and the person hadn't woken up yet, it seemed not surprising that he fell into the water and died.

If it is Sishi, it is close to noon, which is about nine to eleven in modern times.

It was almost three poles in the sun.

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

In this regard, Qingji can be described as a very benevolent and sympathetic monarch.

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

After tossing and turning for almost the whole night, Qing Ji got up early, and couldn't bear to wake up Xi Shi beside her, covered her with a quilt, and went outside the bedroom.

"Slippery."

"The minister is here."

"Is the Hu clothes that Yiqumo gave to the widow some time ago still there?"

"exist."

"Get it for the widow. In addition, find the hat, belt, boots, and trousers worn by Rongdi, and bring them here together."

"This……"

Jiao Hua asked hesitantly: "What does Your Majesty want with these hoodies?"

Qingji glanced at Jiaohua lightly.

Jiao Hua couldn't help but lowered his head, and said, "I'll go find you now."

It is actually not difficult to find the things these barbarians wear.

There may not be any in the palace, but there are quite a few Rong Di living in Xianyang. They can buy some clothes from their homes and send them to Qingji.

After a long time, Jiao Hua finally hurried to wait outside the bedroom with a bundle of clothes, boots and other things.

"Your Majesty, my concubine will help you change your clothes."

After waking up leisurely, Xi Shi, who had already washed and groomed, had to change into a crown suit for Qingji and let him go to court.

However, Qing Ji, who was only wearing pajamas, shook his head, pointed to the Hu suit that was put aside and said, "Today, the widow will not wear the crown suit, but the Hu suit."

"This……"

Xi Shi couldn't help staring at her beautiful eyes, dumbfounded, her slightly opened mouth seemed to be able to stuff an egg.

"Your Majesty, how do you do this? Even if your Majesty doesn't like wearing crown clothes, you should not wear Hu clothes. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to wear Hu clothes in the court hall?"

Hearing this, Qingji smiled slightly and said, "Yi Guang, what I want to do is to be decent. The so-called decent, why can't I sum it up in one word?"

"Well. Your Majesty insists on doing this, how dare your concubines disobey you?"

Seeing that Qing Ji insisted on wearing a Hu suit to go to court, Xi Shi had no choice but to let it go.

However, although the Hu suit is not more complicated than the Mian suit, for Xi Shi who has not worn the Hu suit, it is not so difficult to help Qingji put it on.

The short skirt in the Hu suit was knee-length, Xi Shi thought about it, and changed into a Hu suit for Qingji.

Then, holding the belt in her hand, she blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "My lord, is this a belt?"

"It's a belt."

Qingji nodded and said, "This belt is Rongdi's special belt."

"I heard that because the nomads on the grassland live in an impermanent place, they have to carry all the things they need for daily life with them. Large utensils such as tents and cooking utensils are mostly tied to the horses."

"And some small utensils such as knives, swords, towels, whetstones, etc., can only be worn by everyone. This kind of belt with small rings and hanging on sundries is called a belt."

"The Western Regions called the belt with the buckle 'Shibi', translated into my Chinese dialect, and also called 'Xibi' or 'Xubi'."

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

The difference between it and ordinary belts is that there are several metal plaques on the belt, each plaque is connected with a small hinge, and a small metal ring is set under the hinge.

The usefulness of the small ring is really not small.

"Your Majesty knows a lot."
