Women's clothing in the Ming Dynasty

The Forbidden City, Wenyuan Pavilion behind the Wenhua Palace.

Everyone in the world knows that this place is the power center of Ming Dynasty - the seat of the cabinet.It was originally a simple small two-story building, but in winter there are still some air leaks everywhere.The emperor sympathized with the elders and ordered the renovation of Wenyuan Pavilion a few years ago. Now it is one of the most spacious buildings in the Forbidden City. Not only does each elder have his own office, but also many public rest areas have been added.

But at this moment, there was silence in Wenyuan Pavilion.

After a long time, a difficult male voice sounded: "Master Cui, look, what should I do..."

Moving his eyes to the room, he saw five men in official uniforms sitting around a large round table.Holding a memorial in each hand, they seem to be discussing something.

Hearing the other party's call for help, that Lord Cui frowned helplessly: "Well...the emperor doesn't approve, and I have nothing to do with it, or...we wait a little longer?"

"I can't wait any longer! It's been so long, many places are useless, and many orders are still not dared to be issued. If this continues, there is no way out! Master Cui, you are the chief assistant, and this matter is up to you Come out!"

Zhai Luan scolded his mother in his heart, this is to let the old man fight against thunder!He was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Hongzhi, and later moved to the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, and finally joined the cabinet.According to seniority, he is older than Zhang Cong, but not as deep as the other party's Jiajing friendship, so he has always been the second assistant.After Zhang Cong resigned, he took the position as he should have, and now he has been the chief assistant for three years.

Facing the refusal of his colleagues, Cui Luan pretended to be embarrassed: "Well...you know the emperor's temper. The more others persuade him, the angrier he will be. We must find the right time to get the right person... Mr. Li, Li grown ups?!"

"Ah!" Li Chengfeng woke up suddenly, wiped the suspicious water from the corner of his mouth, "Shoufu, did you call me?"

Cui Luan's face was full of black lines: "Master Li, you have been focusing on that steam locomotive recently, and you have been hanging out with the people from the Tiangong Bureau day and night. I understand that you are young and uncertain, so you didn't say anything. Now everyone is discussing the country. Big deal, how can you doze off! Look at your saliva soaking the memorial!"

"Hahaha..." Li Chengfeng also knew that he was wrong, scratched his head in embarrassment, and promised that he would never do it again in the future.

Seeing that he had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, Cui Luan didn't say anything, and continued: "In Master Li's opinion, what should we do about this matter?"

"Ah? What's the matter?" Li Chengfeng was a little confused.

"...", Cui Luan held back his anger and explained again.

Only then did Li Chengfeng realize that it turned out to start with Yang Shen's work report in Beijing.It stands to reason that Yang Shen has made such a great contribution, how can he be a fifth-rank fellow in a good place this time.But when this person arrived, he caused a big trouble.

He sent a letter to the emperor, reprimanded the corrupt officials he met along the way, and made ten suggestions to the court, each of which slapped Jiajing in the face.You must know that this is the time when Jiajing was full of ambition. Under his leadership, the territory of Ming Dynasty expanded, and the living standards of the people also improved significantly.Now even if you ask a three-year-old child, he will say that the emperor is a great wise king.Why did Yang Shen say that he was useless?

What was even more exasperating was that Yang Shen also made comments in newspapers everywhere. He offended Long Yan and was relegated. Over the years, he has made achievements in governing the country with articles, and his status in the hearts of scholars is still very high.So everyone began to ask themselves, is Daming really in crisis?

This scene reminded Jiajing of the scene when Yang Shen raised his arms and all the officials cried at Zuoshun gate when he first came to the throne.Immediately, his blood surged up, and he heard that he smashed the inkstone in the imperial study while flipping through the memorial, and scolded him as a "national thief"!

But scolding is scolding, and to be honest, there is nothing to do with Yang Shen, after all, he didn't organize to cry this time.Thinking that he made himself so aggrieved and unable to do anything, Zhu Houcong became angry, so he withheld Yang Shen's promotion and deliberately refused to approve it.If Yang Shen didn't approve, the people who came to Beijing in the same batch as him couldn't leave, so everyone just wandered around in Beijing.

After figuring out what happened, Li Chengfeng couldn't laugh or cry, what kind of shit is this!These two are really born to fight, and they have been fighting for more than ten years.

Touching the precious beard on his chin, Cui Luan said to Li Chengfeng: "Master Li, look at you, you joined the cabinet before you were 30 years old, you must be highly valued by the emperor, why don't you go and persuade him?"

"This..." Li Chengfeng acted rather reluctantly: "It's not good, who doesn't know how much trouble Yang Shen made in the past, and many people who made trouble with him are still eating sand in the border. If I go, Will he be punished too?"

"How could it be?" Cui Luan smiled kindly, "It's really impossible and we are still there. Don't worry, Mr. Li, if something happens, our old guys will definitely protect you!"

Believe you are a ghost!Li Chengfeng complained in his heart, wondering: "After that, can I often go to the Tiangong Bureau to inspect the work?"

Cui Luan's face twisted for a moment, and he couldn't help but want to growl: "I can't find you at work every day, so you might as well live in the Tiangong Bureau!"But considering the seriousness of this incident, he could only nod reluctantly.

Li Chengfeng went to look for the emperor with a sad face, turned around and made a V in his heart. He is naturally not the kind of fool who is used as a gun by others.But he knows Jiajing too well. In the eyes of Jiajing today, his personal grievances are definitely not as important as national affairs. It was just a small vent before, but now that the anger has subsided, everything should go on as usual.

Sure enough, after hearing Li Chengfeng's intention, although Jiajing was reluctant, he still took out the previous memorial and wanted to approve it, but he didn't write it down.

Just when Li Chengfeng was wondering, Zhu Houcong suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Do they all think I'm a fool?"

"???" Li Chengfeng hurriedly said, "How is that possible? Why did Your Majesty say that?"

Zhu Houcong was unhappy: "Yang Shen is not like what those people said at all, I think he eats, sleeps and enjoys himself very much, and his father, Yang Tinghe, I heard that he spends all day in the mountains and rivers in Shu, and he is the number one in Shu." It’s not a problem for a cyclist to live another ten years.”

Li Chengfeng tried his best to hold his breath so as not to laugh.After thinking about it for a long time, he comforted him, "Isn't it also the emperor's credit, you are diligent and caring for the people, making the world peaceful, and they can live so well."

"But is that the way to go?" Jiajing was still furious.

Li Chengfeng could only continue to follow Mao: "You can find another way to calm down." He originally wanted Jiajing to transfer Yang Shenyuan to the capital. Anyway, Yang Shen is talented, and he can shine and benefit wherever he goes.

But Jiajing seemed to have completely misunderstood it. His eyes lit up, and he said confidently, "I've thought of what to ask him to do! I'm going to promote him to be the right-handed governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

"What?" Li Chengfeng was dumbfounded, isn't this... the speaker, oh my god, did Zhu Houcong go mad with anger?

"That's right!" Jiajing said categorically, "I allow him to go to college, but I will never do what he says!"

"Doesn't Yang Shen like to talk and give pointers? I just want to use my own way to solve the problems he raised. I want to prove to the world that I am right! He is just a clown!" Jiajing said more and more Excited, wishing to see Yang Shen's frustrated expression now.

...Why do you bother yourself, Li Chengfeng can already imagine Jiajing's expression when he sees Yang Shen jumping out every day.Well, as long as he is happy, at least this matter has been resolved satisfactorily.

……

Xu Shi was so angry by Yang Shen, Jiajing got a little angry these two days, two small blisters formed around his mouth, so scared that the imperial doctor quickly gave him a prescription.

Empress Dowager Jiang was also very distressed, so she specially called Lu Bing into the palace and asked him to take the emperor around the capital to relax.Lu Bing thought about it, and took Li Chengfeng with him.

The two discussed it. Considering Jiajing's character of being a dead house on weekdays, it would be self-defeating to force him to go around. It would be better to find a place to listen to the opera and see the scenery. Anyway, it is just to relax.

Based on this point, the best place to listen to operas in central Beijing right now is Hechun Tower.Coincidentally, the owner of this place is also an old acquaintance of Li Chengfeng - Marquis Guoxun of Wuding, but he only knows Li Chengfeng who wears women's clothing.

Although Guo Xun has made little achievements in recent years, his thigh-holding skills are becoming more and more proficient.He had intersected with powerful officials such as Zhang Cong, Yan Song, Lu Bing, etc. Recently, he had been trying to get involved with the youngest elder Li Chengfeng, but he had no connections.Today is really a blessing from heaven, not only Master Li, but even the emperor has come!

Guo Xun hurriedly arranged for the best troupe to sing the most popular opera. In order to make the emperor go out on tour, he did not drive away the people, but strengthened the security work.

Speaking of Hechunlou, it has something to do with Li Chengfeng.Back then, he said something in Guo Xun's restaurant and completely opened the signboard.So much so that dignitaries in central Beijing love to go there to listen to books.After thinking about it, Guo Xun simply bought another restaurant and built a huge table in the middle, which is specially used for singing and storytelling.Gradually, this Hechun Building has also become a landmark building in Beijing.

The three of Jiajing chose the best seats on the second floor, where they could see the performance on the stage clearly while eating.

"I pour wine for the emperor, the emperor is satisfied with this place, if not, I will drive out the people below." Guo Xun said cautiously.

"No need." Jiajing still had the same look of not being able to see any emotions or anger, and asked casually while eating, "Is this a new play?"

Guo Xun answered immediately: "Yes, these are the hottest teams in Beijing now." Thanks to the prosperity of Daming's entertainment industry, even opera has also developed.In the following play, it can be heard that it is a fusion of various singing styles such as Kunqu Opera and Qin Opera, and it has a taste of Peking Opera of later generations.And the selection of materials is also bolder, either adapting the latest and most popular scripts, or combining the facts of the Ming Dynasty today.In short, it can catch the attention of the common people, so it is no wonder that it became popular all over the capital for a while.

Today's story is about an ordinary boy along the coast, because his parents were killed by Japanese pirates, so he made up his mind to wipe out the Japanese pirates, and finally became a general after he became famous.Now it's time to play the part where the young man disguised himself as a woman to deliberately avoid being taken away by pirates in order to collect information, and he went around deceiving people in the pirate's lair.

Guo Xun intended to show himself in front of the emperor, so he had nothing to say: "Pfft, how can there be a gentleman who pretends to be a woman like this, and has been fighting against the Japanese pirates for four or five days? I see that the people around are either idiots or Blind man ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Lu Bing: "..."

Zhu Houcong: "..."

Li Chengfeng: "..."

Guo Xun laughed exaggeratedly for a long time, and was horrified to find that no one agreed with him, and the faces of the emperor and the two adults were very delicate.how so?Could it be that they have all seen the play?Like the main character? !

In order to remedy this, he quickly said: "Of course, I'm not saying that the play is bad, nor that the protagonist is a fool. I mean that the people around are stupid and don't blame the protagonist at all, really!"

...Thanks, but please shut up.Li Chengfeng roared in his heart, and abruptly changed the subject.

Lu Bing answered the conversation unnaturally, and the two began to discuss the dishes, and finally talked about the new snacks in Beijing.The number of trades with other countries has increased, and Daming's products have also enriched a lot. For example, on their tables, there are hot and sour potatoes, spicy stewed rabbit heads, roasted corn and other dishes, and even desserts made of tomatoes and sweet potatoes.These are popular dishes in modern times, but at this time they are all novelties, Guo Xun is not careless today.

The more they talked about Guo Xun, the more depressed they became. Why did they even talk about food? Could it be that they were dissatisfied with the food?So Guo Xun asked to give him a chance, he wanted to go out and find the chef to serve the dishes again!

Li Chengfeng quickly stopped it!Just kidding, let him go now, only the three of them are left, I know how embarrassing it will be!So he forced Guo Xun to sit on the seat.

The four of them just spent the day like this, not knowing how Jiajing was doing, except for the episodes in the middle, Li Chengfeng was actually quite satisfied with his life.I even started to think about whether to raise such a theater troupe at home, and the big backyards of the left and right houses were still empty.

When it was getting late, it was time for the group of people to return to the palace.Before leaving, Jiajing signaled to Lu Bing to give a good reward to the people who sang the opera today, especially Xiaosheng who played the leading role.

Guo Xun, who had been hanging on his heart, suddenly became energetic when he heard this. This is for sure that he has worked!He leaned forward and boldly asked: "The emperor likes this troupe, why not let them enter the palace to sing for you."

"No." Jiajing shook his head: "I think this play is good. Whether it's a man or a woman, as the Son of Heaven, I am very grateful to that man for everything he has done for Daming."

Guo Xun didn't understand why, but Li Chengfeng behind him stayed still, and after a long time, he said softly: "I am also very grateful."

"I can live in this era."
