Song Dynasty's Ignorant Prince

Zhao Ji's hair has finally become a problem. You must know that it is the Northern Song Dynasty, people's thinking is still very backward, Zhao Ji is the emperor again, and every move has attracted the attention of countless people. The Neo-Confucianists and the old Confucian men shook their heads and sighed, thinking that Zhao Ji was violating the ancestral etiquette.

"Hey, what is your majesty doing, do you want to be the same as those savages?" An old man complained to his friends that Zhao Ji's image was very inconsiderate.

The other old man also shook his head, he was Yang Shi, a scholar from Longtu Pavilion, "Your Majesty is now arbitrary, and no one will listen to what you have to say. Some ministers remonstrated, but they were scolded, and they said that you will never cut your hair for the rest of your life? ?"

"How unreasonable is this, can this be confused?" Xie Liangzuo was furious, "Such a faint-hearted ruler is really not the blessing of the Song Dynasty. In the future, the system will be in chaos, and the country will also perish!"

Xie Liangzuo, like Yang Shi, is a master of Neo-Confucianism, and he is also called the four major disciples of Chengmen. Now he has written books and books, and is deeply respected by people. However, unlike Yang Shi, Xie Liangzuo's official luck was poor, and now he does not have a half-official position.

"Brother Xie's words are not good. Although His Majesty did not do well in some areas, it is still very good to defeat the Jin Kingdom and relieve corvée!" Yang Shi said a fair word.

Xie Liangzuo laughed, disapprovingly, "Brother Yang, what is a human being? Your heart is your own nature, and it is within yourself, and you consciously work hard as a sage... Only in this way can you finally be a wise king. And if you don't have such a heart, then you will be slow. If you continue to develop slowly, although you may not see anything for a while, after a long time, the direction will be deviated! There is nothing wrong with one person, but if His Majesty goes astray, where will he lead the Song Dynasty?

Saying that, Xie Liangzuo was very worried, "Brother Yang, you are a high-ranking member of the imperial court, so you must talk about this matter, we are all for your majesty, for the sake of the great Song Dynasty!"

Not only are the two negotiating, but they have also united a lot of people with high morals and respect to jointly sign a letter, hoping that Zhao Ji can abide by the ancestral system and not make trouble.

On the other hand, in the army, Zhao Ji deliberately took off his hat when he was patrolling, so that the soldiers could see his new hairstyle.

"Hi, what's up with your majesty's hair?"

"Is that Your Majesty?"

"Of course, if it's fake!"

"Hey, I want to cut it too..."

With the emperor as a demonstration, it became much easier to get a haircut in the army, and many soldiers followed suit. They think that a simple truth, what the emperor is doing, must not be wrong.

Therefore, many soldiers started to cut their hair without much mobilization, which made the barber too busy. These guys have a lot of lice and fleas in their hair. After cutting their hair, they can see the lice and fleas crawling. The soldiers who cut their hair immediately started to catch each other's lice. After they caught them, they put them in their mouths. ...

Of course, there are also many people who are unwilling to cut their hair, but fortunately no one enforces it.

As a result, after a few days, about half of the troops in the army had their hair cut and became flat, and half of them still had their original hairpins. With the comparison, you can see the pros and cons. The flat-headed soldier sleeps more easily. When you wake up in the morning, you don't need to manage your hair. You can just brush your hair with two hands. And those soldiers with hairpins are different. When they go to bed, they worry about getting their hairpins off, and they have to tidy up when they wake up in the morning, so they will gather later than the soldiers with flat heads!

Slowly many soldiers began to accept the flat head.

Not only in the army, but also in the weapons department, especially in gunpowder production, flintlock guns, red-clothed cannons, and other places, workers were required to keep their heads flat. After all, it is related to fire, and there are some sparks on the hair that are prone to accidents. There have been several such things, and it makes sense for Zhao Ji to do so.

The wages of work here are relatively high, many people can't let it go, and this is a compulsory order, and the reform will be completed here soon. This makes many people feel shameless, but fortunately, they are basically trapped here, and they will not have the opportunity to show their faces.

Even in the courtroom, some officials had their hair cut. Some of them thought the emperor's hairstyle was good, but most of them were to curry favor with the emperor. When Zhao Ji saw which one had a haircut, he would privately ask a few words and encourage him, which made the person excited and felt that he had done the right thing.

Now the way ministers greet each other has changed. When they meet, they take off their hats and ask, "Is my hairstyle okay?"

In this case, the old masters of Confucianism and Neo-Confucianism have already united, and dozens of people want to face the Holy Spirit together. Zhao Ji laughed after hearing this, "It's just some old masters, just stay if you want, just say I'm not free, how can I have time to pay attention to them?

Xie Liangzuo and the others looked at each other and simply waited outside. Xiao Lizi asked people to bring tea and wait on them. Although these people are pedantic, they are all highly respected. If something really happened in the palace, Zhao Ji would really be accused by thousands of people.

"`Has Your Majesty really not seen them?" Empress Zheng was a little worried.

Zhao Ji laughed, making Empress Zheng relieved, "Seeing what they do, these old masters will only do what they say, that's all they say. I'm the emperor, how do I want to use them to teach me? I don't want to scold them even though they are old, so let them hang around.

By the way, Queen, why haven't you seen the little four these two days, what is she busy with?"

Empress Zheng frowned, this little four is really worrying, she is such a big girl, and she doesn't say looking for her husband's family, does she live in the palace all her life, "Isn't your majesty you are used to it? Who knows ( Zhao Wang's) She's busy with some weird stuff all day!

Just as he was talking, Xiao Lizi came to report that the fourth princess asked to see him.

When Zhao Fujin came this time with a box in his hand, Zhao Ji jokingly said, "Yo, does Xiao Si know that he brought a gift to the emperor?"

Zhao Fujin chuckled, "That's a must, see if the royal father likes this gift?"

Zhao Ji opened it and saw that there were two pairs of glasses inside. The glasses frame was made of golden nanmu, and the landscape was carved on it. It was simply a handicraft.

The queen was very strange, "What is this?

"These are glasses!" Zhao Fujin looked very proud. "Some people can't see things clearly, but they can see clearly when they wear these!"

"Oh, so amazing?" Empress Zheng didn't quite believe it, she took it and put it on, feeling a little dizzy, "What is this, I haven't seen it clearly yet."
