Chapter 93: The Winged Cap
After a great deal of sealing the heroes of the imperial court and appeasing the old ministers, these upstarts of the imperial court finally stabilized, and they were of course happy that they all held military power.
However, Zhao Xu knew that the military power of these people must be withdrawn in the future, otherwise, it will be very troublesome, because most of the troops are now in the hands of these people, and if you want to unify the world, you must use troops on a large scale, and you must control the military power yourself.
Otherwise, there would not have been Zhao Kuangyin who later wanted to release the military power with a glass of wine, but the price paid for the release of the military power with a glass of wine is too great, it can be said that it was exchanged for the wealth of the country, and Zhao Xu will definitely not approve of his father using such a method anymore.
"Your Majesty, Crown Prince, Li Yun detained our envoy Zhou Guangxun, and at the same time at the banquet to welcome our envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, he also cried over the portrait of Guo Taizu."
Zhao Pu hurriedly reported the collected news to Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Xu, Zhao Pu is no longer the secretary of the army in charge of the German army, because of his meritorious service, Zhao Kuangyin named him the right counselor, and served as a privy counselor.
"Father, what I said is right, this is Li Yun or will be opposed, then his correspondence with Liu Jun of the Northern Han Dynasty is also true." In fact, Zhao Xu had already gotten the information, but Zhao Kuangyin still didn't believe it.
This is because Zhao Kuangyin has just ascended the throne, so he let the envoy go to Luzhou, thinking that Li Yun will proclaim the decree, this envoy was detained, Zhao Kuangyin was furious, Li Yun personally came to worship, but Zhao Kuangyin turned cloudy and sunny again, and also named him the Zhongshu Order, and treated him everywhere.
How would Zhao Kuangyin know that Li Yun was in pain at that time, and he was about to rebel at that time, but fortunately, his subordinates persuaded him, and this time he reluctantly went to Bianjing to worship the new emperor.
Zhao Pu listened to the meaning of the prince, he had already gotten the news, this is impossible, he was the first to get the news, so he immediately entered the palace to think about the emperor's report, how did the prince know so early. He didn't ask, though.
"Hmph, this Li Yunzhen treats him well, he still wants to rebel, I can't spare him. "Zhao Kuangyin attaches great importance to love and righteousness, but what he hates most is those who have no faith, you Li Yun has been loyal to me, you still want to rebel, see how I clean you up."
"Father, Li Yun's son Li Shoujie will arrive in Bianjing tomorrow, at this time Li Yun asked his son to come, will he come to confuse us, because I heard that Li Shoujie has always had a bad relationship with him, or maybe Li Yun deliberately sent him to the capital and wanted to borrow our hands to get rid of him?"
From Zhao Xu's report, Zhao Kuangyin also knew that Li Yun and his son did not have a good relationship, and it was estimated that Li Yun had plans in this regard, but Zhao Kuangyin was so easily used.
"Zhao Pu, you and Guangyi go and prepare for tomorrow's meeting with Li Shoujie, don't be sloppy, but don't have too many specifications, after all, he is not our subject country but our local official, remember to have the demeanor and momentum of my Great Song Dynasty."
Zhao Kuangyin issued an order in the previous stage to modify the prefectures and counties in the country that offended the name of the new emperor Ningzi and the dead emperor, so his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi was changed to Zhao Guangyi, and Zhao Pu was ordered to retire and prepare.
At this time, in the whole room, there were only two left, Zhao Kuangyin's father and son, but Zhao Kuangyin's face was still not good-looking, and it seemed that something difficult was wrong.
"Father, do you have anything else to do, looking at your frowning?" Zhao Xu is not used to the title of father at all, but a few days ago in the early dynasty, she called her father as soon as she spoke, and now she has been educated by the ministers for a long time.
Although this is nothing for him, it is really annoying to listen to those old masters always whispering in his ears, and he has been calling Zhao Kuangyin father since then.
Zhao Kuangyin said patiently Zhao Xu also shook his head when he heard it, this group of ministers is really too casual, how are you making the emperor good, it turned out that the ministers were whispering in the court.
It turned out to be today's morning dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin sat on the dragon chair with a solemn face, listening attentively to a minister's recital.
As a founding emperor, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to create a solemn, solemn and sacred atmosphere for the court through his exemplary role. So he sat very upright.
Unexpectedly, after a while, what worried him happened: several ministers exchanged heads and ears at will, completely ignoring the minimum rules that should be observed in the court.
Zhao Kuangyin was very unhappy with this discordant scene in front of him, but he did not show his face, and did not criticize several undisciplined officials on the spot, but continued to listen to the newspaper as if nothing happened.
In fact, he was very angry in his heart, this is too unruly, in all dynasties, the founding emperor will rest assured that his colleagues who broke into the world with him at the beginning, especially those fierce generals.
Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin also hates the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court, commenting on the government, lest they communicate too much and even have different hearts, this is not because he is narrow-minded, this is how he had a good relationship with the minister of civil and military affairs back then. So he was afraid.
In fact, he is not worried about this, the new dynasty has just been established, and these ministers have not had any dissenting intentions for the time being, but the emperor is listening to the report on the dragon chair, and you are muttering below, so where to put the emperor's face reads;.
Zhao Kuangyin remembered that at the beginning of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, became the emperor, most of the ministers in the court were his fellow villagers and friends, and they were all reckless and uneducated, so the **** spirit and recklessness of the entire court were flourishing.
"The ministers drank and competed for merit, drunk or shouted in vain, drew their swords and hit the pillars", it can be seen that the chaotic situation above the court, even Liu Bang, who was born in ****, is very dissatisfied.
Later, a Confucian scholar formulated a set of etiquette that reflected the supremacy of imperial power, and let the ministers practice in the court, and the Manchu Dynasty was orderly, with a clear distinction between respect and inferiority, and the noisy chaos of the previous open market style was swept away.
Since then, the order in the court has been in order, and Liu Bang said very happily when he saw it: "I am known as the emperor's nobles today." Now Zhao Kuangyin just wants Liu Bang to feel this way.
Zhao Xu heard that his father was rude and dissatisfied with the officials in the court, but this is also, there is no rule and there is no circle, there is still order, but he really has a way to solve it.
"Haha, what's so difficult about Father, there is no way to avoid this situation from happening again by just moving their black gauze hats."
"Huh?" Zhao Kuangyin's brows furrowed.
"I just gave them a promotion, at this time, move their black yarn hats, don't cause them ****, it's just a trivial matter, it's just that my heart is uncomfortable, and nothing else!"
Zhao Xu knew that the emperor's father would be wrong:
"Father, you misunderstood, the black gauze hat I said does not refer to their official position, but only the hat on his head, as long as this hat is changed, this pattern can be completely changed."
The black gauze hat was originally a common folk hat, and the black gauze hat worn by officials originated in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but as an integral part of the formal "official uniform", it began in the Sui Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. Since then, the black gauze hat has represented the official position of the official.
"It seems that I will be mistaken, Xu'er, you said there is a way, you can talk about it."
"Yes, Father, you also know that the hats of officials are all high-barreled now, as long as the two of them are together, they can talk below with a twist of their heads, which is extremely convenient, so occasionally they can work on this. Here's how we can ......."
According to Zhao Xu's meaning, two flat and long wings are hung behind the existing official hat, and the appearance of shaking and flickering is quite funny.
After Zhao Xu's explanation, Zhao Kuangyin also understood, and couldn't help clapping his palms, in fact, Zhao Xu said in his heart, this is not my invention, this is your invention in history.
Zhao Kuangyin in history encountered the whispers of the officials he said just now, and he didn't have a seizure on the spot, Zhao Kuangyin is very tolerant but very pragmatic.
After retreating, he quickly came up with a solution, don't you like to whisper in each other's ears? I tell you you can't say it! He ordered his subordinates to add long wings to the back of their veils. The long wings are made of iron sheets and bamboo strips as skeletons. The iron wings on each side of a hat are more than a foot long.
This kind of hat must be worn except for official activities in the court and officialdom, and it is not worn on ordinary occasions. Because wearing it, it is extremely inconvenient to walk on the street.
Officials can only talk face-to-face, and it is difficult to sit side by side. Since then, it has been difficult for ministers to go to court, and it will be difficult to line up and talk to each other.
In addition, everyone understood that the emperor did this to crack down on private chats between ministers, and no one dared to make a mistake, so the style of the court was new. Now that Zhao Xu said this, of course Zhao Kuangyin also agreed very much.
Regarding the Song Dynasty officials wearing long-winged hats, there is also an interesting passage recorded in the notes of ancient literati:
One day, Prime Minister Kou Zhun went to inspect the people's situation. He dressed in a green coat and a small hat, dressed as a scholar, and paid a private visit to Kyoto and Tokyo. When he talked to an old man, the old man groveled to Kou Zhun and bowed down to him, showing unusual humility.
Kou Zhun felt strange and deliberately asked: "Old man, the contemptible person is a scholar, please feel free."
The old man smiled and said, "Could it be that the prime minister is hiding his identity?" You're the official of the court!" Kou Zhun was even more puzzled when he heard this, "
I don't know you, how can I say that I am an official of the imperial court?"
The old man said, "Xianggong, when you passed through the narrow alley just now, you looked sideways and left and right, for fear that something would touch your hat. If you hadn't always worn a winged hat, you wouldn't have such a habit, right?"
Regardless of whether this thing is true or not, now under the witness of Zhao Xu, this long-winged hat has come out, I don't know if it will be recorded in the history books in the future, Zhao Xu, the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, invented an official hat and made outstanding contributions to the development of clothing.
