Women's clothing in the Ming Dynasty

In Datong, Shanxi, I sat on the prefect's chair bored and bored, and the woman captured beside me was trembling in disheveled clothes.

"Back to Khan, Zhu Chongzhuo begs to see you."

"Let him in," I replied.

Zhu Chongzhuo walked into the room cautiously, and respectfully greeted the young Khan, just like Zhu Houcong, but kept glancing at the beautiful girl next to him.

I Da sneered, and pushed the girl over: "Here you are." Zhu Chongzhuo even said he didn't dare.

I replied with some dissatisfaction: "You Han people are so unrestrained. Tell me, what do you want to do with me?"

"Back to Khan, I heard that the imperial court has sent troops here, and I'm going to Datong soon. I'm here to ask you what to do next?"

Straightening my back, I replied with a little interest: "Finally, I have sent troops. I'm going to waste my time here. Let me tell you, who is the leader?"

Zhu Chongzhuo bowed his head and said: "The leader of the army is Qiu Luan, Marquis of Xianning. He is the grandson of Qiu Yue. In the fifth year of Zhengde, Zhu Zhiyu, the king of Anhua, rebelled in Ningxia. Qiu Yue used tactics to capture him, put down the rebellion, and then suppressed the uprising. Repeatedly made military exploits."

"I've heard of him, he is a good man, a rare talent among you Han people!" I replied with sparkling eyes, at this moment he looked like a handsome and cheerful boy, who would never have imagined that he would be burned and killed on the border of Ming Dynasty Looting, wanton destruction.

"Qiu Luan heard that he was taught by his grandfather carefully since he was a child. He is a good general who is famous all over the country. Khan, we must deal with it carefully." Zhu Chongzhuo said everything he knew, as if he was pouring beans. Just looking for a better future.

"Response? Why do we have to deal with it?" I answered and stood up, stretching lazily. He is extremely tall, and he has been practicing martial arts all year round. Dare to look directly. "It's enough to kill, and it's enough to rob. Ben Khan intends to play with your famous generals, and then return to the tribe. In the summer, we still have a lot of things to do."

I Da is the leader of the Tumed tribe, a descendant of Genghis Khan's golden family.Originally, the Tumert tribe was just a small and medium-sized tribe with about [-] households.Four years ago, after Alda inherited the position of Khan, he brought the territory of Motwanhu to the ancient Fengzhouchuan, and his strength continued to increase. Now he is the most powerful Wanhu in right-wing Mongolia.

Zhu Chongzhuo was stunned, this was different from what he said before: "Ke, Khan... If you leave, what will you do?"

I replied with a big laugh: "What? You're still like a big girl, and you're still relying on me to marry me!" Tumote's subordinates beside him also roared with laughter.

Zhu Chongzhuo's face was swollen, and he squeaked and said: "But, but..." It is impossible for him to give up the prosperity of the Central Plains and these savages to go to the grassland to suffer. At this moment, he already felt faint regret.

I replied that I ignored him. In fact, I replied that I would not venture into the Central Plains. Thanks to the internal support of these two or five youngsters, and some other reasons, otherwise, it would be almost impossible for the people in their tribe to take down Datong, a military important place. of.Tumed produces little grain, and there is almost no handicraft manufacturing. A few years ago, Ming Dynasty closed the border trade, and the cattle and sheep in their hands could not be exchanged at all. Seeing that they could not eat, they started their old business.

Simulating in my heart that I have some chances of winning against the opponent's general Qiu Luan, I silently began to look for a way out.

Just at this time, another notification came from outside, and his subordinates walked in with a surprised expression, "Khan, just now the Ming army brought a few boxes over and sent them over, and there is also a letter, please take a look at it."

I replied that I was puzzled, but he had also learned some Chinese, so he could read the characters. He took the letter and checked it.

The people next to him looked at each other in blank dismay, and Zhu Chongzhuo dared to ask what was wrong.

I replied: "You General Qiu Luan is so interesting. He said he couldn't beat me and was willing to admit defeat. He sent several boxes of gold and silver for me to plunder in Datong at will. As long as I am satisfied, I can leave. It's a good one." A born general, what a great Ming general!"

Zhu Chongzhuo's face was burning hot, even though he is now a leading party, he still couldn't help cursing in his heart, bah!A silver-like pewter gun head, looks but doesn't work!All blown out by myself!But he still complimented carefully: "It's so good, Khan is planning to leave anyway, he got so much treasure for nothing, congratulations Khan, congratulations Khan!"

"No, we're not leaving." I replied.

"Ah? Is it possible that the general intends to occupy Datong?" Zhu Chongzhuo was delighted in his heart. This was exactly what he wanted. It was much better to stay in Datong as an official than to go to the grassland to drink the northwest wind.

I Da shook his head: "How can it be done? Ben Khan has taken so many things from others, and he has to show something. I will not do such a treacherous thing." Under the suspicious eyes of everyone, I Da showed a bloodthirsty smile : "Leave Datong, but don't go back to the tribe. Let's go south, to Jizhou." At this time, he has keenly felt that such a serious matter has sent such a thing. The country of Daming does not seem to be as expected. so powerful.

Zhu Chongzhuo's eyes went dark, Jizhou, the gateway to Beijing!

I answered that the sword was directly pointed at the capital!

At the same time, within the city of Hengzhou.

A young student dressed as a Confucian scholar waved a feather fan and said to the middle-aged man in brocade clothes beside him: "My lord, it's not too late. Now is the best time. What are you waiting for?" If the former Wuxi scholar Gu Kanghui was here, He will definitely recognize this person as the classmate Chen Qiao who sent him the news.

"But..." The middle-aged man in Jin Yi was still hesitating: "This is not a trivial matter, let me think about it again."

Chen Qiao sighed: "Indeed, this is a major event, but don't you think, my lord, what you are doing today is so similar to the Jianwen Emperor in the past, who just took the throne and took you uncles under the knife. Are you like the King of Xiang back then? !"

The man in brocade shuddered. Zhu Bo, king of Hunan, was designed by Emperor Jianwen at that time to go to Beijing to face the saint in the name of treason, but in fact he planned to cut down the feudal clan.Zhu Bo refused to listen, and then the court sent envoys to arrest him.Zhu Bo has a strong personality, facing the imminent humiliation of being imprisoned, he closes the gate of the palace and his family commits suicide.

The right time, place and people are all on my side, there is nothing to consider, the man in brocade clothes solemnly nodded to Chen Qiao: "Please trouble me, sir, I agree!"

"Students should do their best, and please remember your promise." Chen Qiao bowed and showed a complacent smile where the other party could not see.

……

Zhu Houcong woke up amidst the sound of crying, and just opened his eyes to see his mother and Chunyin Chunying standing aside with red eyes, he said helplessly: "Didn't you all say that I am fine, why are you here again?"

"The emperor wakes up and sleeps again. It's been three days and he hasn't recovered. Why don't you worry about it." Jiang wiped the corners of her eyes. Ever since her son became the emperor, she really hasn't stopped for a day.

"I'm fine," Zhu Houcong said with a gloomy expression, "It's just that there are some things I can't figure out."

"What exactly is it?" Zhu Chunyin asked aggrievedly: "You can't tell us, can't you tell sister Jinghua! She has also come several times, and she just returned to Yuan'en Palace last night. If it can't be done, I will go to her right away !"

"Zhen..." Just as Jiajing was about to reply, he heard Huang Jin's hurried report outside.

"Your Majesty! Hurry up for six hundred miles! Yong Wang Zhu Youxuan rebelled! Now four cities in Huguang have fallen one after another!"

There was silence in the room. The rebellion of the vassal king is a big deal, but the most shocking thing is not this, Yong Wang Zhu Youzun——he is the brother of Lao Xing Wang with the same father and mother!The little emperor's uncle!

I still remember that when the clan was reformed back then, he was the only one standing on Jiajing's side, and he even specially greeted Jiang's wife, the emperor's wife.

How could he rebel? !

Everyone was in doubt, but Zhu Houcong was the only one with a calm face, "I know, go out and get ready to drive, I plan to go somewhere."

Huang Jin carefully went out to make arrangements, and then asked, "Your Majesty, where are you going?"

"Qixiang Palace," Zhu Houcong said lightly.

Shao Zhiqing sat quietly in the hall of Qixiang Palace, she had already retreated to the left and right, and she was the only one in Qixiang Palace at this time.

With a "creak", the gate of the palace was pushed open, and Emperor Jiajing walked in, followed by the empress dowager Jiang and Chunyin Chunying who were worried and came together.

Shao Zhiqing looked at them with blank eyes: "You are finally here."

Zhu Houcong looked complicated, and looked at the white-haired old man in front of him: "I have noticed it a long time ago, but I have never dared to believe it. The assassins at that time, the fire in the palace and the poisoning were all done by you. Grandma, Why on earth did you do that?"

"Why?" Shao Zhiqing smiled, then turned to ask Jiang who was stunned beside him: "Daughter-in-law, you also have a son, do you want your son to be the emperor, or do you want your grandson who has never been masked?" To be emperor?"

"You really have a good idea. As long as I die, the childless Prince Yi will be excluded first. Then Prince Duan is impatient, and he is suspected of killing the king. At that time, he will be charged with any crime, and the cabinet will not be able to do it." Welcome him to the capital. Only King Yong is left."

"That's right," Shao Zhiqing echoed faintly, "It's a pity that you are different from my useless elder son, you are very hard-fated..."

"You!" Zhu Houcong pointed at him speechless.

Concubine Shao continued: "What did your father tell you? He is quite the emperor, but I disagree?" Concubine Shao laughed wildly: "I wish he would die sooner!"

Back then, King Xing was the biggest prince besides Emperor Hongzhi, so he naturally became the target of Concubine Wan Gui, an important pawn in the competition of several forces. Concubine Shao suffered a lot of crimes because of this son, so naturally she always had resentment against him.Now seeing that the elder son and his family, who have killed half of his life, are going to be emperors, and the younger son who has always been loved in his heart is suffering in the fiefdom, his heart is even more resentful.It happened that he learned that his youngest son, King Yong, also had the ambition to become emperor, so he naturally used his connections in the palace for many years to secretly help him.

Zhu Chunyin was listening, half dead with anger, she didn't care so much, pointed at Concubine Shao's nose and scolded: "Old witch! My brother is the real dragon emperor, when the time comes, you can wait for your son to accompany you to the prison !"

"True Son of Heaven?" Concubine Shao sarcastically said, "I still have a move in my hand that I haven't played yet."

An ominous premonition rose in Jiajing's heart.

Sure enough, Concubine Shao said: "How long has it been since you saw your precious female Taoist priest?"

Zhu Houcong ran out as soon as he pulled his legs up, and Jiang Shi and others also hurriedly followed.

Shao Zhiqing sat quietly on the chair, took out a small bottle from her cuff, unscrewed it and poured it in. In a trance, she seemed to return to the carefree time when she was a girl. Seeing her parents who died young, she Finally sighed: "Son, mother can only help you here." Then he closed his eyes and never opened them again.

Just as the little emperor and others were rushing desperately to Yuan'en Palace, on the other side, a group of people were also heading there.These include the elders of the cabinet, officials of the six ministries, ministers such as Yushitai, and some nobles.

On the way, Fei Hong also asked Yang Yiqing: "What's going on? I'm so anxious now. Why did Queen Mother Zhang let us go to Yuanen Palace to discuss matters?"

Yang Yiqing thought about it for a while: "It is estimated that the emperor is still in good health, so the Queen Mother Zhang issued an order. As for the Yuanen Palace... I don't know if that girl Jinghua came up with something novel. Let's go."

A few younger speakers heard what they said, and they were not qualified to participate in the discussion of landmines because they were not high enough, so they didn't know much about it.But they all have the arrogance of scholars, and feel that Li Chengfeng, as a woman, sabotages the government, plus Zhu Houcong's endless favor for her, it is simply Su Daji alive!

Everyone had their own plans in mind, but they were stopped halfway.

Coincidentally, it was none other than Guo Xun Guo Xiaohou who stopped them.

It turned out that during the clan reform period, he got a job as the governor of the left army of the capital. He did a good job at first, but he couldn't die to catch up with the quarrel with the vassal prince Shizi's teahouse.Although he was also a victim, the fact that he fell and broke his head was so embarrassing that Emperor Jiajing, who was appointed to him as an official, was ashamed.After that, he found an excuse to dismiss him and let him be the commander of Habayashi's vanguard.

Habayashi Avant-Garde, it sounds very tall, in fact there are Habayashi Zuowei, Habayashi Right Guard... There are many Daming Guards, this is just a very common one, and its status in the Ming Dynasty is not comparable to that of Jinyiwei and Banner Guard.But at least it can be regarded as an emperor's pro-army, and the commander of the Habayashi Guard can also enter and leave the palace to protect the emperor's safety.

Having nothing to do today, Guo Xun came to the emperor again to ask about his health and make friends with the autumn wind, just in time to meet all the civil and military officials who rushed over.

Guo Xun was used to it, so he went straight up to say hello.As a result, those young speech officials themselves didn't look down on Li Chengfeng, let alone Guo Xun, Li Chengfeng's henchman, who taunted him with guns and sticks.Guo Xun put a cold fart and ass on his face, not to be outdone, and the two sides argued.

Yang Yiqing was helpless: "Marquis Wu Ding, in the name of the Empress Dowager, I will go to Yuan En Palace to discuss matters. If you delay the opportunity here, you will be questioned."

When the first assistant spoke, Guo Xun didn't want to save face, and just wanted them to pass.I heard one of the officials sneer: "That is to say, you are so charming to a villain, you can just do nothing by yourself, and don't let us do business."

Guo Xu only felt his blood surge, and said angrily: "From ancient times to the present, I have heard of the emperor's decree, but I have never heard that the queen mother will issue a decree to let a group of big men enter and leave the palace! Who knows if you came here privately?" , If you don’t speak clearly today, don’t even think about leaving!”

So Habayashi Wei was asked to surround the people, and the two sides completely tore their skins apart.

Besides, on the side of Yuan En Palace, Li Chengfeng opened his eyes in a daze, only to feel that he had a splitting headache, and when he got up, the cold wind blew goose bumps all over his body, and then he realized that he was not wearing a shirt.She only wore a pair of underpants, and lay naked on the bed.

Li Chengfeng was terrified, and was still thinking about looking for clothes, when he heard a female voice from beside him: "You don't need to look for it, I burned all your Taoist robes."

Looking back, Liu Qingqing stood there impressively.

Li Chengfeng was stunned. Yesterday afternoon, when he returned to Yuanen Palace, he heard the guards say that Liu Qingqing had come to return the fox fur, and he insisted on thanking him in person.Li Chengfeng saw that it was still early and he had nothing to do, so he let her in, the two talked a few words, and then he didn't know anything.

Liu Qingqing looked away unnaturally, this was the first time she saw a man's body... probably the last time.She thought bitterly, now she just wants to go back to the past, and no longer think about climbing dragons and phoenixes, but it's too late.

He glanced at Li Chengfeng again, thinking that this is a good person, what a pity... Without her, Liu Qingqing would have had Wang Qingqing and Zhang Qingqing, who has already used all the forces around him to set up this situation, and he will definitely not let him run away .

Li Chengfeng was about to take action when he saw the door kicked open, the little emperor stood in front of the door, followed by the queen mother, two princesses, and several palace officials.

Seeing that Li Chengfeng was fine, Zhu Houcong wanted to go forward, but when he looked down, he froze.

……

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and stood there dumbfounded.

The house is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.

Everyone didn't speak for a while.

In the end, it was Jiang's yelling that broke everything: "Chunyin Chunying! You two hurry up and take someone out! Keep an eye on the gate! Don't let anyone get close!"

Liu Qingqing saw that things were going to happen. Although it was different from the plan and no one who was supposed to come came, she still didn't dare to disobey that order.So he knelt on the ground and shouted with all his strength: "Jinghua, the demon way! Disaster in the court! Men disguised as women to hang out with the holy master! Do whatever they want in the harem! The women of the people are defiled by him! There is no life! I only hope that the sky has eyes! Eliminate thieves in the country! Severely punish the fool! Severely punish the fool!" After saying that, he slammed his head against the corner of the table next to him to death without waiting for everyone to react.

Jiang's eyes darkened, and he almost lost his footing.

Zhu Houcong stared at the man, restrained himself with all his strength, squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "Surround this place, and don't allow anyone to enter or leave." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Jiajing also didn't know how he walked back to the bedroom. After returning, he shook his head and rejected his mother's company, turned away from the left and right, and locked himself inside alone.

The crisis in the Northwest, the rebellion of the vassal king, the betrayal of his relatives, and... all these things came together and made him breathless.

Recalling the little things I had spent with that person for so many years, I still couldn't hold it back, my throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spewed out.

The author has something to say: 1. The part about Shao Zhiqing has nothing to do with official history!Nothing!Nothing!Say important things three times!In order to distinguish, I also specially made up a name for her.In history, Concubine Shao lived peacefully until she was ten, and the old lady was very happy all day long!The same is true for King Yong, who died very early, had no sons and was expelled from the domain, and Chenghua's health is not very good.But Concubine Shao did suffer a lot because of the eldest son of King Xing.

In addition, there are indeed examples in history of not liking grandsons and wanting their youngest sons to be emperors. It is the Queen Mother Dou of the Western Han Dynasty. Liu Che was also watched by her when she grew up, but in the end she still loved her younger son, King Liang, and tried her best but failed.

2. Qiu Luan was indeed a disgusting thing in history. He was one of Xia Yan's victims. He was originally relegated home, but he falsely accused Xia Yan of spying on the emperor's daily life and making friends with his courtiers.Later, I was even sent to the city to be burned and killed. Jiajing was so angry that he dug him out after his death and flogged his corpse.

Finally, I lost the horse, and almost all the lines have ended. Let me explain, the reason why I let Li Chengfeng lose the horse so early is mainly because of the fact that there are too few things that a woman can do in ancient times. Even the little emperor No matter how lucky you are, pretending to compare must follow the basic law, right? After all, it is still an orthodox strong Chinese language.

I changed four drafts and wrote for seven hours until six o'clock in the morning, so that's it, I really tried my best ORZ

In addition, let's light the wax for the little emperor, so that he vomits blood...
