Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Father loves Xiao Pu too, so why does he still spank his grandson?"

Concubine Di patted Cong Pu's ass, "Of course your father loves Xiao Pu, but you touched Grandpa's eyes, so your father spanked your ass as soon as he was in a hurry, but now his heart hurts more than Xiao Pu's, the great-grandfather You didn't spank your grandpa because he helped the great-grandfather solve a big problem."

"Grandma, what big problem did grandpa help the great-great-grandfather solve?

"After your grandfather knocked off the emperor's great-grandfather's court hat, all the ministers stopped whispering when they went to court."

"Ah?" Cong Pu looked at Defang, "Grandpa, did you knock off their hats?"

"Hahaha" Defang said with a smile, "how can grandpa have such a great ability? If the hats of hundreds of ministers are knocked off, grandpa will be exhausted."

"What's the matter?"

"Grandpa knocked off your great-great-grandfather's hat, and one of the wings of the hat fell off, and it was time to put it back on. Just as King Xiaoming was about to put the wings on, Emperor Taizu suddenly reached out and took it. He thought for a while with his hat on, then suddenly smiled, and then kissed Grandpa."

"It's all broken, why don't you kiss grandpa?"

"Yeah, hehe, because Emperor Taizu saw the missing hat wings, and suddenly thought of a good way." Defang patted Cong Pu's back and said, "Emperor Taizu ordered the Ministry of Rites and workers The Ministry remade official hats for each minister, and the new official hats are what you see Xiao Pu now. There are two feet long hat wings on each side of the hat. The hat wings are made of iron sheets and bamboo strips as the skeleton, and Officially issued an edict, from now on, officials must wear long-winged official hats on official occasions such as face-to-face pilgrimage and ceremony celebrations. Once wearing a long-winged official hat, they must stand upright and walk steadily, because if they are in the body If it is not correct and the steps are messy and unstable, the hat will fall off due to the uneven weight of the wings at both ends, and the officials can no longer whisper to each other when the minister moves his head, and the wings of the official hat will shake. The emperor can see whose hat wings are shaking at a glance on the dragon chair. Because of the long wings, the officials stand a little far away from each other and cannot talk to each other at all. If they are too close, the long wings of the official hats will touch each other. It happened that the official hats of both of them would fall on the ground, so that the emperor knew which minister was not serious about listening to the government, so since then, no minister dared to whisper in the golden palace, and his behavior became correct. Emperor Taizu said: "An official hat is like a heart, and if it is straight, it is upright; if it has long wings, it is like a ruler, and it is quiet."

"The grandson didn't help grandpa, and even hurt grandpa's eyes."

"Grandpa is fine." De Fang hugged Cong Pu, "Xiao Pu, what would your emperor's great-grandfather's new official hat look like if the minister wore it?"

"like what?"

"Well, think about it, does it look like a word?"

Cong Pu thought for a while, "Grandson knows, it's Song, the Song of the Great Song."

"Yes, Song, the long wings of this official hat are like the initials of Song characters, and the wood underneath is like a dragon pillar in a golden temple. My Song Dynasty is as tall as the sky, and the officials are as correct as the characters." Defang laughed. He asked, "Xiao Pu, do you know which of our Song Dynasty officials is the most diligent and wears the official hat for the longest time?"

"The grandson knows, it's grandpa."

"Hahahaha, good grandson, grandpa is really happy to say that." Defang kissed Pu, "but Xiaopu is not right."

"Grandpa, who is that?"
