Chapter 25: Dressing: Brother Gao's Magical Calculation

In the Beiling Hall of Xianyang Palace, Qin Shihuang is sitting in the hall, discussing major issues with his ministers.

Gao Shiqian and Meng Jinhua were not treated so well this time, and they were detained outside the hall by Fusu's guards, unable to go in to see the demeanor of the emperor through the ages.

Fusu thought about the conversation with Shang Yiling on the walking chariot just now, and pondered for a while how to answer when his father asked him.He clenched his palms nervously. For some reason, every time he faced his father's inquiries, he would feel inexplicably nervous.

Perhaps it was because the image of his father had always been so tall, majestic, and omnipotent in his mind, like a god-like existence, so when facing him, there was a huge pressure beyond words.

Sometimes, he is really envious of Hu Hai, who can act coquettishly and stubbornly in front of his father naturally, and get along like a real father and son, but he can only play the role of the eldest son carefully, trying to make himself a worthy Prince of this huge empire.

He was thinking about something on his mind, so he didn't have the heart to listen to the discussion in the hall.

After accepting the worship of the officials, Qin Shihuang said: "Since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, the books have been written in the same language, the carts have been tracked in the same way, and the weights and measures have been unified, so that all the people in the world follow the laws of Qin. Now it has been quite effective. I plan to lead the officials to go there in two years. I don’t know what the ministers’ family have to say about the clothes and costumes worn when enshrining Zen, and what kind of clothing regulations should be enforced by the Great Qin for generations to come?”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at His Royal Highness and his officials, and then asked Feng Chang (official position) who was in charge of the etiquette of the ancestral temple: "What advice does Ai Qing have?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I believe that the clothing system should be the same as my Great Qin's books and vehicles, and formulate a new set of regulations so that people from all over the world can follow the system for generations to come." Feng Chang replied.

"Then according to what Aiqing said, what kind of clothing system should be implemented?"

"I... I'm still thinking about it." Feng Chang hesitated.

"Advising doctor, what do you think?"

"I think Feng Chang's words are reasonable," said the doctor, "Only by resetting the clothing system can we clarify the law, establish dignity and inferiority, and demonstrate the majesty and tolerance of our Great Qin. As for how to formulate it, we need to consider it in detail. "

Ying Zheng asked a few more ministers, and then his eyes fell on Fusu who had been bowing his head in thought: "What is your opinion on this matter, son Fusu?"

Fusu didn't hear it for a while.

"Fusu, what do you think?" Ying Zheng raised his voice.

Fusu regained his senses: "Return, report to the emperor... My son thinks that the Yellow Emperor, Yao, and Shun wear clothes to rule the world. The clothing system of our Great Qin should continue the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty and make a little improvement."

After Ying Zheng listened, he narrowed his eyes: "Zhou Li?"

"Exactly. Back then, the ancestor Xianggong (Qin Xianggong, Yingkai) repelled the dog army, and was rewarded by Zhou Tianzi with brocade clothes and fox fur. He led my Daqin children to establish a foundation in the west of Qishan Mountain, and eventually became a generation of heroes. My Daqin was ordered by heaven, It is time to continue the Zhou rituals and make all the people submit."

"Your thinking must be the meaning of those Confucian scholars." Ying Zheng's face sank.

"My son thinks so too."

"I, Great Qin, unified the six kingdoms and established the eternal foundation. Compared with Duke Xiang at that time, the world has changed. How can it be the same? Fusu, you are about to reach the age of weak crown. After so many years of experience, how can your vision and mind just stay in the past? " Ying Zheng said sternly.

"My son..." Fusu lowered her head, her palms were already sweating.

Ying Zheng looked at the ministers: "Everyone's words today have their own reasons, but they are all on the surface, and there is no real insight. The clothes and clothes are the style of our Qin people, and the courage of the Qin people is our Qin people standing in the world I hope all the ministers will think carefully about what kind of clothing system should be in place, from the middle of the earth to the ministers and down to the common people."

"The ministers will obey the order." All the ministers responded in unison.

"Zhao Gao, I ordered you to teach Young Master Hu Hai how to judge cases and judge prisons. I wonder if it will be beneficial?" Ying Zheng changed the subject and asked Zhao Gao who was beside him.

"Return to Your Majesty, young master Hu Hai is diligent and studious, and he has made great progress now." Zhao Gao said hurriedly.

"Hu Hai, tell me, what have you learned recently?"

Hu Hai said loudly: "Returning to my father, my son has recently read the "Law of the Great Qin" by heart, and also read Shang Yang's "Book of Shang Jun", which has benefited a lot."

"What do you gain?"

"My Great Qin regards Legalism as the foundation of governing the country. The laws and regulations are clear and the world will prosper, but the Confucian scholars are pedantic and pedantic, which is not enough."

Ying Zheng smiled slightly: "You are so young, you have some knowledge." He nodded to Zhao Gao, "You teach well on weekdays."

"Your Majesty is absurd. It's because the son is born with extraordinary intelligence, and the old slave is just giving some pointers." Zhao Gaowei promised.

"Fusu, next month will be your coronation ceremony. I wonder what kind of costume you plan to wear for the coronation ceremony?" Ying Zheng chattered about homework in the court hall.

"I greeted my mother the day before yesterday, she has prepared a Chufu for my son." Fusu replied truthfully.

Ying Zheng frowned: "What do you think?"

"My son..." Fusu sensed his father's strong depression, "I will ask my father to show me after my son thinks it through."

"Think about it carefully, together with the matters discussed today, come to see me in the palace in three days." Ying Zheng said, got up and retreated to the court.

The courtiers retreated to the outside of the hall one by one. Hu Hai came to Fusu, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, don't forget the two villains today. I will wait for the result of your interrogation. The emperor asked me to Learn about judging cases and sentencing prisons, I haven't finished the trial of this case!" After speaking, he laughed and walked out.

Fusu sighed, walked out of the hall dejectedly, got on the chariot, and went back to the mansion.He was silent all the way, and when he got to the mansion, he plunged into the study and didn't come out until meal time.

The attendant reminded him: "My lord, those two scoundrels..."

"Bring it to my study, and interrogate me after I finish eating.

"Yes."

After a while, Gao Shiqian and Meng Jinhua were brought to Fusu's study.

When Gao Shiqian saw Fusu coming out of the hall, he guessed that he must have encountered a big problem with Qin Shihuang, and then contacted what he had overheard before, and he already had a countermeasure in his mind.He shared his thoughts with Jinhua, and Fusu walked in as soon as the two finished their confession.

"What is the origin of the two of you, what are your intentions, and why are you wearing strange clothes?" Fusu said and sat down in front of the case, and asked with a cold face, "Be honest, don't ask me to punish you."

"Returning to you, my lord," Gao Shiqian said, "We are the reincarnated disciples of Mr. Zou Yan and Master Zou. We came here from Migu Mountain this time to help you, your lord."

"Zou Yan?" Fusu's eyes lit up, and he sat up straight, "Is it Zou Zi, the famous yin and yang family in Jixia Academy back then?"

"Exactly." Gao Shiqian nodded.

"I remember that he retired from the world after the Battle of Yanzhao. Could it be that the old man is still alive at this moment?"

"The master has passed away long ago, and the two of us are his disciples and grandchildren."

Fusu looked at the two of them, half-believing: "You said, you two are here to help my young master, so what can I tell you?"

Gao Shiqian laughed: "My lord, have you been reprimanded by His Majesty in the hall today?"

"This……"

"Did Your Majesty ask you how to formulate the dress system?"

"This……"

"Did Your Majesty order you to think about this matter at home and meet him in the palace in three days?"

"This..." Fusu became more and more surprised when he heard it, stood up, stepped forward to help Gao Shichen, and said, "The purpose of what the master said is really a god and a man, can you teach me, sir?"

Gao Shiqian laughed again, pointed at Jinhua and said, "My lord, please take a look, the answer lies in my junior sister!"

Fusu turned around and looked at Meng Jinhua, who was standing in front of him, dressed in cartoon panda pajamas, with a gentle and pleasant appearance, showing surprise.
