The field hunting in the field is not only hunting, but also a ceremonial activity, a military ceremony, and a comprehensive exercise for military training. In the training of government soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, there was hunting.

The hunting of the Tang Dynasty emperors, there are not only regular large-scale field hunting ceremonies, but also casual and flexible, informal small hunting, midwinter field hunting is an important activity of the Tang Dynasty, included in the military salute, one of the five ceremonies of the Tang Dynasty.

Winter.

Li Chao put on a hunting costume, took his family and his students to leave the Li Mansion on horseback, and followed the emperor's hunting team to Wudang Mountain to hunt.

This field hunt was not a large-scale ceremonial event, but an average scale of the emperor's hunt.

Li Shimin said that he was going to hunt for meat, but the ministers thought that what the emperor needed was a relaxation. Since the Xuanwu Gate, in less than a year, the emperor has worked day and night, and it is extremely hard. Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Chao and other prime ministers all thought that the emperor needed such a hunt to relax.

As for hunting for meat, that's just a joke. He was the poorest in the world, and he was not so poor that the emperor had nothing to eat.

The vast majority of the civil and military generals were summoned to hunt with them, and the court was presided over by the left and right servants and Fang Du. Li Chao and several other prime ministers traveled with the emperor.

The noble sons and daughters who were in Xiangyang were also invited to participate in the hunt.

Each family attaches great importance to this hunt, and it is rare for the young children of the family to get a chance to perform in front of the Son of Heaven.

Each family was busy preparing bows and arrows, horses, hunting clothes, and some also preparing hunting dogs, dogs, eagles, and experienced hunters.

Li Chao didn't need much preparation, just a hunt.

But there are many well-known families who send their children over, wanting Li Chao to take care of one or two, and then hoping that Li Chao can recommend one or two to the emperor. For example, the Shandong generals, such as those Shandong scholars who are in-laws with the Li family.

In this regard, Li Chao is not easy to refuse, but he also said that it will all depend on their own ability, everyone has equal opportunities, and whether they can grasp it depends on their ability.

Coupled with Li Chao's group of students, Li Chao's team is very large.

Accompanying the guards of the emperor are the people from the north and south ya, the twelve guards of the south ya, the four guards of the north ya, plus the three guards and five mansions of the internal guards, it can be said that there are many people around the emperor, and they come from each other and do not belong to each other. This can also be regarded as Li Shimin's deep consideration of the Praetorian Guards after passing through the Xuanwu Gate.

The soldiers and horses around him were divided into three major systems, and the guards in each system did not belong to each other, and these guards took turns to guard and supervise each other. In case the officers of which guard have objections or are bribed, it will eventually lead to the danger of being directly forced into the palace as was the case during the Xuanwumen Change.

Under today's defensive layout, it is almost impossible to repeat the changes of Xuanwumen. With a cross-overlapping defense layout, who has the ability to buy everyone off?

This time, Li Shimin even brought some outstanding students from Guozijian and Jiangwutang.

The students of Guozijian and Jiangwutang are all regarded as the proud sons of the Tang Dynasty, and when the civil and military imperial examination system was not perfect, these two top universities were an important supplement to the Tang Dynasty's current selection of scholars and talents. Those who can enter the school are themselves more or less the children of noble bureaucrats, and after a few years of advanced study or gilding, most of them can enter the official career and take up official positions.

If it weren't for this, Li Shimin would have wanted to temporarily suspend classes and give students a holiday. Because these thousands of students have to be eaten and sheltered by the imperial court, under the current circumstances, the monthly food is not a small number. Their ration standard is not ordinary, but only slightly lower for officials, and the treatment is very good.

Li Shimin brought these people this time in the hope that he could take this opportunity to observe these young talents of his own at close range and see which ones are really useful.

Li Shimin, who rode the war horse again, was much better. The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the autumn is high and refreshing.

This hunting brigade with nearly 10,000 people is very majestic on the road.

Li Shimin was wearing leather armor, carrying a double plug around his waist, a gold lacquer bow and a golden arrow, and Li Chao was also a leather coat.

However, Li Chao's leather coat is different from theirs, Li Chao's is not leather armor but just a leather jacket, the slim design is still a small lapel placket, and the brown leather is waxed, soft, smooth and shiny.

There is a pony clip inside, and the lining of the body is more neat and straight.

With Du Shi Niang's hand-cut and sewn blue canvas jeans, plus long riding boots, and the boots are equipped with deputy spurs.

This set of extraordinarily different hunting outfits makes Li Chao stand out from the crowd, especially the silver ornaments on his leather coat, which makes him very special and coquettish.

Even Li Shimin looked sideways from time to time along the way.

The prince is like a trumpet Li Chao, with exactly the same outfit, lapel leather jacket plus vest plus jeans plus leather boots and spurs, and a soft foot hood on his head.

Wei Zheng felt that this kind of outfit was very spicy and eye-catching, and it was simply immoral.

What kind of jeans, wrapping the two pieces of ass and balls so tightly, it's so tight.

Wide robe with big sleeves, top and bottom, this is the Chinese costume.

Li Chao's criticism of Wei Zheng should be all envy.

"Duke Wei, you are also a person who has read history books, so you should also be Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu riding and shooting, right? For the sake of the strength of Zhao State, King Wuling of Zhao resisted the invasion of the Hu people in the north, implemented Hu clothes, coached riding and shooting, and then Zhao Guo rode and shot the essence of the world, and Zhao became a powerful country at that time, which is right? ”

Li Chao is very opposed to old masters like Wei Zheng, who have any Spring and Autumn etiquette at every turn, and they can't wait for everything to go back to the Spring and Autumn Period, wear the clothes of the Spring and Autumn Period, implement the system of the Spring and Autumn Period, and even want to restore the Jingtian system.

What is called the well field system, that is, each piece of 900 acres is divided into nine pieces, and the eight households each cultivate the eight pieces outside, and the eight pieces of land are their private property. Then they will concentrate on cultivating the 100 acres in the middle, and that land belongs to the public, and they will help cultivate it, and the harvest will return to the public.

With this well field system, what the people need to bear is that eight households share a piece of public land, and then they don't have to pay other taxes, and the court can also guarantee tax revenue.

Of course, this is just the fantasy of the old masters.

The times are developing, how many people are there in the Spring and Autumn Period? How many people are there today?

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the well field system was carried out because there were few people in the land at that time, and it was completely sufficient to copy some good land to make a well field. But now, where did you get so much land to engage in well fields, Datang's uniform field system itself is much stronger than the well field system, but there are not enough fields to equalize, and it is already full of hidden dangers from the beginning.

It is said that it is a costume, but in fact, the clothing of the Han people is never static. Not to mention the Hufu cavalry of King Zhao Wuling, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qin and Han dynasties to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and to today's Sui and Tang dynasties, in fact, the costumes have been changing.

Generally speaking, it is in the form of tops and bottoms, but there are no pants in the past, but after a long period of development, it has also developed from shin clothes to pants.

From adding two trouser legs to your clothes, to increasing the waistband, and then from open to crotch. From the absence of underwear, to the later development of underwear, this is the development of the times.

The style of the robe in the past, that was because of the lack of clothing technology.

The first pullover, to the later robe, and then from the skirt-like dress at the beginning, to the trousers with trouser legs, this is all development. From the whole piece, it is divided into tops, pants, underwear, underwear, underwear, etc., and the various forms are all technological advances.

Riding a horse in jeans is better than wearing a robe.

Why are there pants now, that is how Hufu cavalry and archery began, for the need to ride horses militarily. Later, the soldiers in the army wore pleated pants, and then it was spread to the people, and the people also wore this, all because it was more convenient.

Why do women generally not ride horses, but ride a donkey and turn sideways?

Because many women have not had the habit of wearing underwear before, why did people say that it was rude to sit in the past? Because you don't wear underwear, if you sit down, you may walk naked, which will be indecent and rude, so you have to sit on your knees, legs together, and your buttocks on your legs.

"Father, these jeans and leather jacket are very smart and comfortable." Cheng Qian spoke for his teacher on the side.

Li Shimin smiled, "Wen Yuan's hunting suit looks really good. ”

"If Your Majesty doesn't dislike it, there are still a few sets here, so I will give one set to Your Majesty." Li Chaodao.

Li Shimin nodded despite Wei Zheng's objection.

asked the family to get a set, and Li Shimin was also happy to change clothes directly on the side of the road.

After a while, it seemed that another Li Chao appeared.

Li Shimin walked a few steps, turned over on his horse again, and then dismounted.

"It's really good, it's a little neater, it's good, I'll wear this set."

Li Shimin and Li Chao are of the same size, and Li Chao's clothes, he also fits the size he wears.

Wei Zheng looked at the emperor wearing this bearded clothes, and his face was not very good-looking, but Li Shimin ignored him. Historically, the costumes of the Tang Dynasty were full of Hu Feng, and Hu Feng was prosperous. It is because Tang inherited the Northern Dynasties of the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou and Sui Dynasties, and there are many Hu people's legacies in this vein.

On the other hand, the Tang Dynasty was very open and tolerant in its attitude towards the Hu people. Openness and inclusiveness have led to more exchanges between Han and Hu, and Hu costumes have also had a great impact on Han costumes.

Li Chao doesn't think this is a problem, it's good to be open and inclusive.

Wearing leather clothes, the Tang people are still Datang.

Being too conservative is not a good thing, and being conservative means being conservative and stubborn.

If it is good, it should be absorbed, and Han culture itself is not conservative, but many people misunderstand it.

"This spur is also quite good, and the whip is not needed." Li Shimin tried the spurs on the riding boots and found that the effect was very good, and his mood became better and better!
