Chapter 259 Taoyuan Sanji debuts! Is King Hongnong the real Son of Heaven?
Liu Bian opened his arms and stood upright, letting Tang Ji put the knitted dress on his body layer by layer, just like wrapping a rice dumpling. There was no joy at all in ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor.
After all the undergarments were sorted, the final crown robe was put on. This crown robe was a black top and red lower skirt, with seals painted on the top and bottom. When the left and right skirts intersected vertically, it made Liu Bian feel slightly uncomfortable.
Tang Ji keenly noticed Liu Bian's strangeness and told the maid next to her who was about to become a palace maid: "Please note that the handover is a little tight and still needs to be modified."
Liu Bian hurriedly waved his hand: "My dear concubine, don't bother. It will be over with a little patience. It won't be too late to revise it after the ceremony is over. It doesn't matter. Don't waste time on this kind of thing."
"Your Highness."
Tang Ji smiled sweetly and said: "Don't worry, this crown dress has not been completed yet. There are still some areas that can be repaired. It won't take half a day, and it will be fixed. It won't delay the big event."
Liu Bian breathed out: "That's good."
Tang Ji called the maid and continued to dress Liu Bian.
Liu Bian originally wanted to ask what the significance of this crown uniform was, but he was afraid of being laughed at by Tang Ji, so he simply asked the Military Advisor Alliance directly: "Teacher, what is the significance of this crown uniform? Why are there so many seals on it, and why are they not yellow?
?”
The Military Advisor Alliance immediately explained: "In fact, the development of Hanfu did not have a complete system until the second year of Yongping of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty. All previous stages were different."
"For example, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang thought he was the black emperor, so he followed the Qin system, followed the water virtues, and his crown uniform was black. He completely ignored the local virtues of the Han Dynasty and was very willful."
"It wasn't until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the court changed back to tude, and changed it to a yellow crown gown, a black collar, and a red belt, but it didn't really fit in with modern people's aesthetics."
"In the period of Wang Mang, it was believed that the Han Dynasty lacked fire, so it should be the virtue of fire, so it became a large red crown dress, with only the collar, cuffs and other parts being black."
"Therefore, this crown dress has been changing. It was during the reign of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty that it gradually stabilized and became the one you are wearing, Mr. Bian, with a black top and a vermilion lower skirt."
Liu Bian suddenly realized: "So that's it."
The Military Advisor Alliance continued: "Hanfu does not specifically refer to Han Dynasty clothing, but Han nationality clothing. Its basic characteristics are crossed collars, right gusset (rèn), ties, wide sleeves, coiled collars, straight collars, etc.
A useful addition.”
"Master Bian, look down at your collar. Do the left and right sides of your collar intersect perpendicularly, forming a small English letter Y at the collar?"
Liu Bian lowered his head and glanced lightly, and said in his heart: "Well, that's it."
The Alliance of Military Advisors said softly: "This is the exchange of collars, and the left collar must cover the right collar, which means that the male is responsible for the outside and the female is responsible for the interior. The man is engaged in political, military and other activities outside; the woman is at home, caring for her husband, raising children, and raising children.
female."
"This handover must not be reversed. Once it is violated, it will be like a hen crowing, which is an ominous sign for the court. Let alone the emperor, even ordinary people cannot make mistakes."
Liu Bian frowned slightly: "Is there such a thing?"
The Military Advisor Alliance was extremely sure: "Of course! Every place on the Hanfu is exquisite. Look at the sleeves. They are particularly big, which makes it inconvenient to work."
"That's right."
Liu Bian took a deep breath and thought to himself: "I was just about to ask this. Is there something important about this?"
The Military Advisor Alliance smiled calmly: "Of course there are particularities. It's called Guangxiu, and it can be divided into long sleeves and short sleeves. The one Mr. Bian is wearing is one and a half times as long as the arm from the shoulder to the end of the sleeve. It's longer. sleeve."
"Drop your arms and try to see if the sleeves have a drapey feel and don't leak out of your hands. The overall demeanor looks a little solemn, serious, modest and prudent."
Liu Bian's raised arm was already a little tired, so he just dropped it to try.
really!
But it has a drapey feel.
It was as if he was pulling his arm downwards.
At this moment, the maid just took off her clothes. Tang Ji waved her hand and said: "Your Highness, please give it a try and see how it works."
Liu Bien nodded and immediately made a gesture of bowing with his hands raised.
Tang Ji watched carefully from the front and asked the maid to help arrange her sleeves.
Liu Bian was puzzled and asked curiously: "What's going on?"
The Alliance of Military Advisors explained: "The insignia patterns on Hanfu, especially the patterns on the wide sleeves, are symmetrical. When the hands are raised in salute, the two sleeves are brought together to form a whole, and the left and right patterns must be symmetrical and neat."
Damn it!
Liu Bian was so impressed that he fell to the ground.
It's just a set of crown uniforms, and the sense of detail is so great.
After the maid had tidied up for a moment, Tang Ji nodded slowly and smiled sweetly: "Please put on a knee cap, a ribbon, a red coat for Your Highness, and a crown as well."
The maids responded to the promise and stepped forward one after another, hanging their knees and wearing ribbons. One of the maids brought a pair of red shoes, which made Liu Biange unable to stand for a long time.
"Your Highness."
A maid brought the crown and stepped on the auxiliary ladder to help Liu Bian put on the crown.
The emperor's crown is made of twelve liú, made of jade, and is mainly black in color. There is a hole on each side of the crown for inserting jī hairpins and tying the hair into a bun.
When the maid tightened the ribbons on both sides of Liu Bian's hairpin, a touch of coolness ran down his cheeks. He subconsciously reached out to touch it, only to find that there was a pearl hanging on the ribbon.
"teacher."
Liu Bian frowned slightly and asked secretly: "What is this?"
The Alliance of Military Advisors explained: "It's called Yun'er. It's not inserted into the ear, but hung by the ear to remind the wearer not to listen to slander. This is where the idiom Yun Er can't hear comes from."
Half a year ago, Liu Bian was thin and slightly sickly. But now, with the help of nutritious meals and the training of marching and fighting, Liu Bian has become stronger.
Although he is not tall with his seven-foot-eight-inch figure, he is already considered a leader at his age. Putting on this imperial robe, he shows off his domineering kingship without missing a beat.
Tang Ji gave a knowing smile and seemed to be very satisfied with this: "Your Highness, please try to take a few steps. If there is anything inappropriate, please explain it to me. We still have time to change it."
"good."
Liu Bian responded, then held his head high and walked normally.
I have to admit that Hanfu has been popular for thousands of years, and it naturally has its advantages.
When Liu Bian strode forward, he really felt free and graceful. Especially when he turned around and waved his hands, he looked even more graceful, free and easy, and extraordinary.
At the same time, netizens in the live broadcast room were once again extremely excited, talking non-stop:
"Damn it! The ancient emperors' large-scale costume show has opened, and it's blinding."
"Master Bian looks so handsome in this outfit. I'm almost a nymphomaniac. I love it so much."
"I feel like this time there is going to be a trend of Hanfu. This is what the real imperial uniform looks like."
"To be honest, when I put on this outfit, I really feel domineering."
"Damn, I feel like Mr. Ben's whole temperament has changed."
"A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Now I really feel like an emperor."
"Can you believe it? I just called the Hanfu Palace, but I can't even make an appointment."
"Are they so awesome? Do they have this kind of imperial uniform?"
"..."
Liu Bian walked back and forth twice, then stopped where he was: "I feel fine alone, there's no big problem."
Tang Ji nodded and leaned forward affectionately: "In just half a year, Your Highness has become taller, more handsome, and more regal."
Liu Bian struck the head with one move and said with a smile: "People always have to grow. I have experienced too many things along the way. If I don't make any progress, will I live up to my expectations for my beloved concubine?"
Tang Ji smiled sweetly: "I just hope that Your Highness is safe."
Liu Bian sighed: "Well, it's good to be safe."
If you have not experienced those years, you will not feel how sincere and sincere this sentence is.
Liu Bian's thoughts seemed to be suddenly drawn back to Luoyang City.
The scene in Age passed by like a reflection, and every step was extremely thrilling.
If there was no alliance of military advisors planning behind the scenes, he might really have only one idea.
Safety!
At that time, it was really luxurious.
Just when Liu Bian was filled with sadness.
"Report—!"
A long announcement sounded outside the hall.
Liu Bian raised his eyes and looked.
But then, Zhu Tong pushed the door open and walked in. He bowed and raised his hands: "Your Highness, Taichang Shi Zixiao has arrived."
Liu Bian waved his hand: "Let him come in."
Zhu Tong cupped his hands: "Here."
Not long after.
Shi Zixuan rushed to the main hall and stepped forward, holding a sword in his hand.
The scabbard of this sword is very gorgeous. It is made of metal and is engraved with exquisite patterns and decorated with various gemstones. There is a golden dragon eucalyptus on the hilt, which looks extremely majestic.
"Shi Taichang, this is..."
Liu Bian frowned slightly and asked tentatively.
"Your Highness."
Shi Zixiao then stood up and explained: "According to the procedure, after the seal ceremony, His Highness will award the Red Sky Sword to Taiwei Yang Biao. Unfortunately, we do not have the Red Sky Sword, so we will use this sword instead."
"This sword was found in the underground secret room of the Confucius family in Wancheng. It is hidden very secretly. Both in terms of sharpness and decoration, it is excellent. It is perfect for the sword ceremony."
Having said this, Shi Zixuan offered it with both hands: "Your Highness, please take a look."
Liu Bian grabbed the sword, held the hilt in his hand, and pulled it out with a loud sound. A cold light flashed across his eyes, and the faint sound of the sword could be clearly heard in the air, as if it was alive.
The blade of this sword may be forged from fine iron, with a faint cold light. There are exquisite patterns on the sword, which are not carved on it, but seem to be printed on it.
"This is......"
When Liu Bian was attracted by the sword, the voice of the Military Advisor Alliance sounded: "Master Bian, just now the experts from the history department said that this sword may have been passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."
"Look at the texture on it. This is an extremely superb inlay and baking process. The coating on the surface looks like running water. It is also an ultra-high anti-corrosion treatment technology."
"pity......"
The voice of the Military Advisor Alliance sounded a little regretful: "This kind of craft technology disappeared a long time ago. Even during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were not many swords like this left."
"Ordinary people who get such a sword treat it as a treasure and keep it in a box. They are absolutely reluctant to take it out and use it."
“I didn’t expect that!”
Even the Alliance of Military Advisors couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The Kong family actually treasures such a sword."
Liu Bian had a look of disbelief on his face and raised his eyes to look at Shi Zixiao: "This sword really comes from the Kong family?"
Shi Zixiao nodded: "Yes, it is the Kong family."
"Who found it?"
"Tang Xiang."
"oh?"
Liu Bian couldn't help but wonder: "Since he found it, how did it fall into Shi Taichang's hands?"
Shi Zixuan said softly: "I mentioned that I needed a sword. Then Tang Xiang remembered that he had found this sword in the Kong family, so he took it out of the arsenal and handed it over to me."
At this point, the Military Advisor Alliance quickly reminded: "Master Bian, the Kong family moved to Wancheng during the Warring States Period. They have made a living by smelting iron and casting soldiers for generations. I would like to ask their family if they have any sword-making craftsmanship from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."
"good."
Liu Bian thought about it and asked: "Besides this sword, are there any books on sword-making techniques?"
Shi Zixuan frowned: "This...I really don't know. Your Highness can call Shi Yu to come and you will know after asking."
Liu Bian sheathed the sword and nodded: "In that case, let's use this sword as a sword-teaching ceremony. You can step back and call Tang Xiang over. I want to ask him carefully. If there is such a book, let him
Bring it directly.”
Shi Zixuan took the sword: "Here."
Since time traveling, Liu Bian has been in a state of seeking. Except for some precious classics, there are few that can be used to feed back to modern society. Now that the lost craftsmanship is about to surface, how can Liu Bian give up this opportunity.
As long as he can help the military advisor alliance, Liu Bian will spare no effort.
Take off your crown clothes.
Tang Ji took people away to make final corrections.
Liu Bian returned to his boss and sat down, waiting quietly for Tang Xiang. At the same time, he communicated with the Military Advisor Alliance: "Teacher, are we being too harsh on the Kong family? It is obvious that they are an iron-making family."
"Master Ben!"
The Alliance of Military Advisors immediately taught: "As an emperor, you must not be benevolent to women. If you cut the grass without eradicating the root, there will be serious trouble. This kind of thinking is absolutely unacceptable."
"Although the Kong family is an iron-smelting family, after so many years, it has basically become an aristocratic family and a businessman. There are very few people who specialize in iron-smelting technology, and basically cannot achieve such achievements."
"Otherwise, it is impossible to offer such a sword as a treasure, because it represents the peak of the Kong family. As for the current level, it can be fully demonstrated from those fine iron equipment."
"In the eyes of experts..."
The Military Advisor Alliance said casually: "Based on the current iron smelting level of the Kong family, it should be slightly higher than the average level during the Han Dynasty, but there is nothing special at all."
"this......"
Liu Bian looked helpless: "Does this mean you don't want to make progress?"
The Military Advisor Alliance nodded affirmatively: "Well, in a sense, that's right."
"Teacher, is it true that the flower-baking technique you mentioned cannot be done in modern times?"
"Experts say yes, but it can't be done. All methods have been tried."
"Are ancient people so smart? Can they do things that modern people can't do?"
"The craftsmanship spirit of the ancients is indeed stronger than that of modern times. This has to be admitted."
"..."
Liu Bian waited while communicating with the military advisor alliance.
Not long after.
Squeak—!
Tang Xiang pushed the door open and stepped forward: "Your Highness."
Liu Bian waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to be polite, and said directly: "Have Shi Zixuan told you?"
Tang Xiang nodded and held up a volume with both hands: "Your Highness, this is the greatest treasure of the Confucius family. It records part of the skills of smelting iron and casting soldiers, but it seems that there is only the first volume, not the second volume."
"oh?"
Liu Bian was greatly shocked. After taking the bamboo slips, he started browsing: "There is really only the first volume! Have you searched carefully? Is there anything missing?"
"Looked for it."
Tang Xiang said with absolute certainty: "Really not."
Liu Bian looked slightly regretful: "What a pity."
But the voice of the Military Advisor Alliance sounded: "It doesn't matter. If the Kong family has information preserved during the Warring States Period, it may be available elsewhere. Let's look for it slowly, don't be in a hurry."
"Experts have taken screenshots of the content of this volume and saved it. In any case, it finally provides some ideas for modern experts. Maybe they can really reproduce this roasting process and anti-corrosion treatment technology."
"Master Bian, please don't lose heart."
The Alliance of Military Advisors reassured: "Our journey has just begun. In the future, it will not only be about the technology of casting soldiers, but other mysteries may also be revealed."
"kindness."
Liu Bian nodded: "I will do my best."
Military Advisor Alliance: "Of course, I believe you!"
*****
Qingzhou.
Gaotang County.
In the vast wilderness, the cold wind blows.
The bright red stream spreads into the distance, and billowing smoke drifts in the wind.
Not far away, under the city, corpses lay everywhere, and the bandits poured into the city with roars that shook the sky and the earth, as if they were celebrating the hard-won victory.
And by the creek not far outside the city, a man wearing a strong suit looked back at the city, with tears streaming down his face. His steel teeth were clenched tightly, and there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.
He is Liu Bei, the magistrate of Gaotang County.
Just a moment ago, the city he had been fighting for for several days was captured by thieves. He had no choice but to break out of the siege and could only let the thieves trample on the fruits of his hard work for a year.
"Brother—!"
There was a cry in the air.
Liu Bei sheathed his sword, turned around and wiped away his tears. After recovering for a long time, he felt that the horse was approaching, so he turned around and asked calmly:
"Third brother, are you injured?"
"No!"
Zhang Fei shook his head, dismounted, and stepped forward with a spear: "Brother, how are you?"
Liu Bei nodded: "I'm fine, don't worry! Where is Yun Chang?"
Zhang Fei looked back and frowned: "Second brother lured the enemy to attack and broke out from the other side, but he should have come out by now. Why is there no trace of him?"
"Huh?"
While he was talking, a horse riding Juechen came from the end of his field of vision.
Zhang Fei looked carefully and couldn't help but said with joy: "Brother, look, the second brother is back."
Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was completely relieved: "It's okay if it's okay, it's okay if it's okay."
Not long after, Guan Yu came on horseback, dismounted, and walked forward quickly: "Brother, third brother, how are you doing?"
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei nodded in unison: "Don't worry, it's okay."
Guan Yu felt relieved: "It's okay."
The three of them turned back and stared at Gaotang County.
"Brother."
Zhang Fei felt unwilling, but he also knew that there was no way around it: "Where should we go next?"
Guan Yu quickly winked, shook his head, and signaled Zhang Fei to rub salt into the wound.
"It doesn't matter."
Liu Bei let out a sigh of relief. He had long been used to days like this. There was nothing he couldn't ask. "Let's rest for a while, and we can discuss it again after Xian He comes back."
"but......"
Liu Bei paused for a moment and said softly: "It is very likely that he will return to Youzhou and join my good friend Gongsun Zan. It just so happens that he will be ordered to conquer Wuhuan. We can help him."
"Going back to Youzhou?"
Zhang Fei looked back to the north.
There is his hometown Zhuojun, and every bit of their past.
only......
When I gave up everything and chose to start a rebellion, I thought I would start a vigorous career, but I never thought that after years of ups and downs, I would still be back to where I started.
Deep in Zhang Fei's heart, he really didn't want to go back to Youzhou like this.
But it was also obvious to him that he was in a difficult situation now, and it seemed that he had no better choice except Gongsun Zan of Youzhou.
“Youzhou is pretty good.”
On the side, Guan Yu hurriedly laughed and said: "General Gongsun and my eldest brother are classmates, and now we are about to attack Wuhuan. We can take this opportunity to make contributions."
"Yide."
Liu Bei took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said comfortingly: "Brother, how can I not know what you are thinking? It's just that there is no way out now. Returning to Youzhou and joining Gongsun Zan is the best place to go."
"You believe me!"
Liu Bei said very solemnly: "As long as we keep working hard, sooner or later we will be able to accomplish something great. When we look back, the hardships we have endured and the blood we have shed will definitely be worth it."
"Lord—!"
"Good news—!"
At this moment, I heard a shout not far away.
Liu Bei and others turned to look.
But he saw that riding Juechen was none other than his own chief clerk, Jian Yong.
Jian Yong got off his horse and walked forward quickly with a smile on his face: "Lord, good news."
Liu Bei frowned: "What good news? Tell me quickly!"
Jian Yong took a deep breath: "I heard that the emperor who was deposed by Dong Zhuo was named... called..."
Liu Bei hurriedly interrupted: "Hongnong Wangbian!"
"That's right."
Jian Yong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "It's Hongnong Wang Bian."
Liu Bei asked anxiously: "What happened to him?"
Jian Yong's eyes flashed: "He led his troops and horses to defeat Dong Zhuo, and during the battle at Luoyang, he received the help of divine power from heaven. When the battle situation reached a stalemate, there was a sudden thunder and the bridge deck collapsed.
It completely turned the tide of the war."
"ah?"
Suddenly, Liu Bei was shocked!
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were all shocked!
"Thunder breaks the bridge?"
The three of them said almost in unison.
"kindness."
Jian Yongze nodded, his eyes full of disbelief: "I didn't believe it at first, but I heard that King Hongnong got the guidance of his ancestors and found the imperial seal in the ruins of Luoyang. Now he has returned to Nanyang and is preparing to make another one.
Establish a new dynasty to compete with Dong Zhuo in Chang'an."
"Lord!"
Jian Yong hurriedly raised his hands and bowed deeply: "Many wealthy families in Jizhou have sent their children to help. Should we also go to Nanyang?"
"I believe that King Hongnong is the emperor who can really help the Han Dynasty. As long as we follow King Hongnong, we will definitely be able to make great achievements."
At this point, Jian Yong's eyes suddenly brightened, full of expectation: "Don't you want to restore the achievements of our ancestors? As long as we can submit to King Hongnong and restore the achievements of our ancestors, wouldn't it be easy?"
