Women's clothing in the Ming Dynasty

As far as Yan Song is concerned, this half of his life is quite legendary.He was originally from Jiangxi, he was young and ambitious, he failed the imperial examination several times, but just when he was about to give up, he got No.2 in the second class.

He happily went to the Hanlin Academy to report, but not long after, his father died.Daming has a rule that no matter who the parents die, they should worry about it.After returning home, he stayed for two or three years, and finally returned to court, and his mother passed away again.Fortunately, Yang Ting, the chief assistant of the imperial court, and Master Yang admired him very much, and helped him show his presence from time to time.

However, when his filial piety period was over and he excitedly went to find Mr. Yang, he was shocked to find that Yang Shoufu had no time to talk to him at all.I think so, Yang Tinghe fought fiercely with the young emperor who had just succeeded to the throne back then, how could he be in the mood to care about a little old Jinshi.So Yan Song, who had no one in the court, was kicked to Nanjing to retire.

It is a good fortune to lose a horse, and here Yan Song meets the most noble person in his life——Gui E, who was exiled just because of a big ceremony to speak for the emperor.This is also an old friend of Zhang Cong. After Zhang Cong took power, Gui E brought Yan Song back to the center of political power together.

But after a series of ups and downs, the Yan Song of the year has disappeared. He put away the innocent blood before, longing for power, eager to stand out, and he hopes to stand above everyone.So he set his sights on Emperor Jiajing, tried his best to please him, and finally gained a firm foothold in the court and became Minister of the Ministry of Rites, only one step away from entering the cabinet.

As for Li Chengfeng, he didn't pay much attention at first.Although his military achievements are outstanding, he has seen too much of this kind of thing. He is young and arrogant, relying on his own ability, he can't bear the slightest grievance.The most important thing is that the emperor has basically not mentioned him in the past three years, and there is no reward. It is easy to deal with people who are not in the holy family.But when he learned that Jiajing had handed over the Chen Zhao case to him for investigation, Yan Song realized something was wrong.In fact, many people in the court had heard about Chen Zhao's identity. The emperor was able to entrust the family affairs to an outsider, so he must be very trusted.

But it doesn't matter, there have been too many separations between monarchs and ministers since ancient times, Yan Song is confident that as long as Li Chengfeng makes a mistake, he can completely defeat him.No, the opportunity has come.

As soon as the other party's voice fell, he couldn't wait to say: "The words of offering wine are not good enough. Now that there are all kinds of rumors among the people, what the court should do is to strengthen management. How can we take the lead in making some reports? Maybe it's because the situation is not enough Serious! His heart should be punished!"

Come on, before he said anything, the hat was put on him.Li Chengfeng was not flustered, and retorted lightly: "It is precisely because folk associations have become popular nowadays that the imperial court needs to guide them. I think that it is better to treat this matter sparingly, as long as the common people see more valuable things. That’s the best policy.”

"It's a bunch of nonsense!" Yan Song said righteously: "To deal with officials, the imperial court itself has an official newspaper, and all kinds of laws and regulations are available on it. The emperor is holy, and there is no law issued by the people, and all officials who are literate are required to use it by the side. After reading it in vernacular for three days, even an old woman can understand what kind of newspaper to use. Besides..."

He changed the subject and said again: "The official newspaper of our imperial court sometimes accidentally leaks some secrets. During the Chenghua period, there was an example of the Minister of the Ministry of War who revealed the defense deployment of the frontier and was exiled! This is still It is only circulated internally, if it is fully disclosed to the public, I am afraid that I will completely expose myself to the outsiders! I don’t know what Master Li’s intentions are!”

With a slight smile, Li Chengfeng still looked calm and calm: "Master Shangshu is too alarmist, who said that the newspaper will write about the imperial court. Since it is aimed at the common people, the main requirement is to entertain and teach. , mainly to educate and calm the people, there may even be an entertainment section, and add a few storybooks that pass the level. Firstly, it will not worry about sales, and secondly, it will also play a role in benefiting the people. This is what I think. Of course, the details still need everyone. Discuss with two ministers, but Mr. Yan is collaborating with the enemy one by one, slandering important ministers, and his intentions are sinister."

"You're talking nonsense!" Yan Song blushed with anger, and the two began to fight with each other.

Seeing that they were arguing fiercely, the barbarian factor in the body of the Ming official next to him could not be restrained, so he automatically divided into two factions and began to fight.Officials on the southeast coast are naturally on Yan Song's side, and some are more serious in nature, and they are skeptical about running the newspaper at this time.Except for the neutral faction, inland officials have tasted the benefits of the opening of the sea ban, and they voluntarily cheered for Li Chengfeng, and the most surprising thing is that there are still some nobles who have nothing to do with him, perhaps because Li Chengfeng The change of Feng's identity also has a kind of intimacy with him.

Looking at the noisy officials below, Zhu Houcong's head started to hurt again.After listening to it for a long time, he said helplessly: "Don't be impatient, my family. Regarding the matter of running the newspaper, the sacrifice of wine is indeed reasonable. But the court is really short of manpower. If you want to do it, you will be exhausted..." In fact, Jiajing Like most people, I feel that such a thing as running a newspaper is dispensable.He didn't believe that Li Chengfeng had any evil intentions. There was no one in this world who knew him better than him.But as he said, running a newspaper is not a trivial matter, and requires a lot of people's knowledge. If it is really going to be done, then the matter must fall on the head of the Ministry of Rites.Judging by Yan Song's appearance, it would be perfunctory to ask him to do it, so it's better to simply dismiss Li Chengfeng's thoughts.

But Li Chengfeng still has a different opinion: "I have already thought about the matter of manpower. The new subjects of the Imperial Academy do not have many tasks on weekdays. Apart from reading and writing, they also help with odd jobs. It is unavoidable that they are overqualified. Let them Being in charge of running a newspaper is just an opportunity to exercise.”

All the courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay. Ever since Zhu Houcong defeated his former Chief Assistant, the civil and military officials already knew roughly what kind of person their emperor was, and they rarely disobeyed the imperial power.Now this little sacrificial wine is full of courage, even the emperor dared to contradict, even Yan Song was taken aback, he fell silent and did not object anymore, waiting for the emperor to get mad.

The result was also beyond everyone's expectations. Jiajing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "This is not bad, but they haven't received professional training, and it will be difficult to implement it."

At this time, a clear male voice suddenly sounded in the hall, and a person standing in the front stood up, "My lord, the Tiangong Bureau has done some research on movable type printing. As long as there is a template, the speed is not a problem."

Following his speech, the hearts of the opposition gradually sank. Yes, the person who spoke was none other than the current director of the Tiangong Bureau—Master Xia Yanxia.With the continuous efforts of the Tiangong Bureau in the past few years, major changes have taken place from firearms ships to Minsheng Department Stores.The imperial court also gradually realized the importance of the Tiangong Bureau. Xia Yan's status has risen with the tide.

But Xia Yan was still the same as before, obsessed with the world of science and technology and couldn't extricate himself, going to court was just pointing, and basically rarely talked.But this time, it was an unprecedented opening, which really surprised people.Sure enough, the emperor heard what he said, nodded after thinking for a moment, and said: "In this case, the Tiangong Bureau will be in charge of printing, the Imperial Academy will review it, and the Guozijian Jijiu will assist. First run two issues, and try to sell it only in the capital. "

Seeing that the general situation is over, Yan Song can only give up, secretly hating in his heart, Li Chengfeng, Xia Yan, you wait!Not one can escape!

When the morning went away, Li Chengfeng hesitated for a long time, but he stepped forward and stopped Xia Yan: "Thank you for your righteous words, so that the newspaper can continue."

Xia Yan glanced at him with a complicated expression, then shook his head: "It's okay, I'm also doing it for Daming. Movable type printing was invented as early as the Northern Song Dynasty, but it hasn't been popularized until today, so it's useless to pass it on. I am ashamed of my ancestors. Besides, Mr. Li, you..." He paused, and then said: "You are very similar to an old friend of mine, not only in appearance, but also in demeanor and mind. I can see that too , You are dedicated to serving the country. Although His Majesty is wise, the Sacred Heart has become more and more unpredictable in recent years, and there are some treacherous people in the court. You have to take care."

Li Chengfeng remained silent. According to the official statement, the real Jinghua died in the palace coup that year, because of King Yong's assassination, he tried his best to protect him and finally died.For some unknown reason, Jiajing unexpectedly held a grand funeral for the real Jinghua. Considering the holy family of this person in his lifetime, all the officials held back their dissatisfaction.

These years of wind and rain, and being mixed in the army, now Li Chengfeng has a lot of stature, with a murderous aura, although his facial features are somewhat similar, but few people will associate him with the women's tycoon back then together.Naturally, the former friends could not be contacted. Hearing that the Tiangong Bureau still has his portrait for offering, I was quite dumbfounded after learning about it.

The new newspaper is named "Daming Weekly" and is published once a week. Although it is a newspaper, it is actually more like a magazine.Because there are quite a lot of things in it, each issue is as thick as a book.Li Chengfeng refers to modern newspapers and divides them into four sections: politics, life, speculation, and entertainment.Needless to say about politics, there are some decrees issued by the imperial court, as well as interpretations by professionals.Not only the common people can understand it, but even the students benefit a lot.After all, Confucian classics are everywhere, and this kind of knowledge related to Legalism is rare.It didn't take long for the various schools in Beijing to discover that the students' stereotyped essays had made great progress, and their analytical skills had improved significantly.

In terms of life, there are various trivial matters in Beijing, and sometimes the Tiangong Bureau will post some life tips on it to enlighten people's wisdom.This part is the one that common people like to read the most, maybe when the names of people they know will appear on it.

Of course, although the aspect of life has a great effect on everyone, it must belong to the speculative section in terms of the enthusiastic response in the academic circle.Every week, there is an article by famous scholars and scholars, with their sentiments attached, and there is also a forum similar to free speech, with questions and debates.Of course, this part is all anonymous.It is precisely because of this that students can speak freely.However, it also happened that the Hanlin bachelors who were in charge of the selection were entrained

Private goods, the phenomenon of only letting what you like to say.For such people, Li Chengfeng said that he would not be hired.

The entertainment section was added at Li Chengfeng's strong request.There are not only some interesting jokes from all over the world, but also several serial novels.Originally, the editors scoffed at this, but finally found that this is the driving force behind the sales of newspapers!

……

In the early morning, with a piece of biscuit in his mouth, Huang Song hurried to the nearby tea house.Fortunately, it is already summer and it is dawning early, otherwise there would be no candles on the road, and it would be a terrible fall.

It stands to reason that he has woken up early enough recently, so early that even his mother complained. He is a very old man, and instead of helping the family, he would go to the teahouse for half a day every day.Fortunately, the recent years have been good, and the people have spare money in their hands. Huang Song only needs to operate for a few hours, and the money he earns is enough.

When we arrived at the teahouse, although there were quite a few people, fortunately there were still a few empty seats.Huang Song ordered a cup of the cheapest tea, and sat in a very remote corner under Xiao Er's guidance.Looking from here, you can only see the corner of the storyteller's clothes.Listening to a book is about being on the scene. A good storyteller can arouse the emotions of the audience with his facial expressions and behaviors. No one likes this position.

But Huang Song doesn't care, after all, for him, the storyteller is secondary, he is here to listen to the story!

With the emergence of cement, the road conditions have improved, and the Tiangong Bureau has invented a shock absorbing device, which has greatly enhanced Daming's transportation capacity.Contacts and exchanges between different places have also gradually increased. It stands to reason that in Beijing at this time, storytelling and so on are all in the morning or afternoon, and idlers come to listen to them after they are bored.However, in recent years, the habit of using morning tea in Jiangnan, Guangdong, and other places has spread, and merchants saw the opportunity, and major teahouses have tried it out.Introduce the old and bring forth the new to develop a variety of early snacks, which makes people linger and forget to return, wishing to soak in teahouses 24 hours a day.

Originally, people longed for tranquility more in the early morning, and most of them were sung by a few girls with musical instruments, but with the appearance of "Daming Weekly", everything changed.

When the storyteller rushed over in a hurry, he was taken aback by the dark crowd in the temple. No matter how many times he saw this scene, he probably wouldn't get used to it.

"Oh, my lord! You're finally here! Didn't you agree to make it early today!" The waiter smiled wryly. He had been urged countless times and was exhausted physically and mentally.

The storyteller arched his hands apologetically: "The newspaper that was just published yesterday, I have crossed the two sides of my heart. I slept a little late at night and almost didn't wake up. I'm sorry."

It's hard to find good storytellers in the capital now, so Xiao Er didn't dare to offend him, so he could only let him play quickly.

Accompanied by the enthusiastic yelling, Mr. Storyteller walked towards the platform calmly, adjusted his clothes, and slapped his hands with a "snap", as if heavy drums were beating on everyone's hearts, and the scene fell silent instantly.Looking around in satisfaction, the storyteller slowly said: "The book continues from the previous article. Last time we talked about Hong Yuan, a young man from the Ming Dynasty. He bid farewell to the Siberian wolf god who helped him. The purpose of the country's search for treasures is to collect all seven dragon balls so as to cure my mother's illness..."

If there is a modern person here at this time, he will definitely shout in his heart, "What kind of mess is this! Is it dark!" But I have to say that this collection of fantasy, adventure, travel, farming and Chinese national tradition The story of the virtue of filial piety is quite attractive to the people of Daming today.

This is also what Li Chengfeng thought for a long time, in order to make "Daming Weekly" have a beautiful opening, he made it up.Of course, he was also worried that the plot would scare the ancients away, but the facts proved that this kind of subject matter was still very novel at this time, and the people below were fascinated by it.

As for Huang Song, he found the waste paper in Zhang's house, and wrote down the two points he heard with bright eyes.He studied for several years when he was young, and although his handwriting was not bad, he was not suitable for reading after all, and he made a living by writing letters to people all these years.Now it can be regarded as finding a way forward-he also wants to write a novel!
