[Comprehensive History] Clothes are all over the world

Giving a surname is a very serious matter, especially the giving of a surname by an emperor, which represents a very high recognition.

If they were given the same surname, it would be like turning a bicycle into a motorcycle, changing from a worker to a family member, and their treatment and future are not at the same level.

Therefore, when I heard this native official say that Your Majesty, I want to follow your surname, the whole court was shocked. I just felt that this native was too daring to say it, and the Honglu Temple officials who were in charge of the reception before even pointed at the native. The official winks.

The native official is not an idiot either, he has already detected from the reactions of the crowd that he may have made an extraordinary request, and at that moment, his reaction was quick, and he immediately made a big gift: "Please give me your grace."

Zhu Yuanzhang was in the right mood, so naturally he didn't care about this little episode. After pondering for a while, he said: "I have a good idea. I will give you the surname [Mu], and the word Wood is the backbone of the word Zhu, which means that you will be the same in the future." The stalk of Ming Dynasty."

"This wood is missing the character "person" compared with Zhu, but you will be my Zhu family in the future, so I will make up for it." Emperor Hongwu stroked his short mustache and smiled very kindly, "I don't know what you think?"

The leader of the Tu nationality immediately clenched his fists, cupped his hands and bowed, and said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving the surname. From now on, I will be called Mu De. My son will be called Mu Chu from now on, and my grandson will be called Mu Tu. Hey, this name is amazing." sounds so good."

Emperor Hongwu was also satisfied immediately: "I also think it's very nice. The idea of ​​this surname is still our grandson's idea."

Mu De immediately praised the little emperor's grandson's perfect idea. Although he didn't know who the other party was, Mu De's compliments were very sincere. People who didn't know thought he was talking to the little emperor grandson. It's irreversible.

As a person with a grandson, Mu De is obviously very experienced in how to praise children. A few words made Hongwu Emperor Longyan, who is also a grandfather, happy, and the Fengtian Hall was filled with a happy atmosphere for a while.

So, the matter was settled like this.

It's just that the former little friend suddenly has the same surname as him, and Mu Bai feels a little complicated.

Ah Chu and Ah Tu looked at their newly issued brand names and their hearts were also very complicated. The two good brothers suddenly had the feeling of being forced to marry a family, which is so subtle.

"So you thought of this when you took the pseudonym." The freshly baked Mu Tu touched his chin, and suddenly clapped his hands, "I see, your Highness, when you took your younger brother to Yunnan for the exam, the Zhu family was short of one." [People] became [Wooden] family, isn’t that the case? Hahaha, you are so smart!”

Mu Bai showed an embarrassed yet polite smile, and wanted to say no, it was a coincidence, it was really a coincidence, things like aliases are completely random!

When he woke up, he had just gained wisdom, and he heard someone saying that the five elements restrain each other, that too much of one element is not good for the body, and that gold restrains wood. When Mu Bai heard that, he thought it was a coincidence. Metal, gold must be a lot.

In addition, after his research appeared in the Iron Age, he has been thinking about strengthening himself and changing some materials every day. If he wants to change materials, he must have to burn it, so the surname must be wood!

Wood can balance gold and fuel the fire, what a perfect surname.

As for the name... Among the glasses taken away from Mu Xiaobaiyuan's body, his favorite is a piece of white glass, the color is beautiful, and there are star-like patterns in the middle.

But that piece of white glass was pried away by some wicked ghost!Therefore, the name Bai is entirely to commemorate his lost beloved little glass. How can there be any complicated reasons?

But no one believed him!

Even Emperor Hongwu seemed to have been brainwashed by his own brainwashing, telling everyone the beauty of the pseudonym Sun Tzu, and now people with the surname Mu in the streets and alleys have more chests than before.

This time, Mu De, who was named a native official of Lijiang, came to Beijing with him. In addition to the chieftain of the Tu nationality in Yunnan, there was also a special figure, that is Liu Shuzhen from the various tribes in Lijiang.

She is a rare female official in the imperial court. Her husband Song Qin was originally the marshal of the Guizhou Propaganda Envoy Capital in the Yuan Dynasty. The Mongolian name was Song Mongolian. Later, in the fourth year of Hongwu, he surrendered to Daming with Aicui, the leader of the western waters.

Emperor Hongwu was satisfied with his performance, and specially gave him a Chinese name and official position.However, Song Qin and Aicui passed away in Hongwu 14 years. According to the local rules of Guizhou, Liu Shuzhen and Aicui's wife Shexiang both began to take care of the local government instead of their young son. This move was also approved by Emperor Hongwu. Approved and allowed.

Wearing a wide-breasted short jacket, a pleated long skirt, and all kinds of silver jewelry, Liu Shuzhen is a beautiful sight when she appears in the court.

She was wearing the most noble attire of her own family. The skirt, shoulders, and cuffs were all brocade. The patterns on the fabric were more bold and unrestrained than those of the Han nationality, and the colors were bolder and more colorful.

However, Liu Shuzhen's own aura was able to calm down the overly bright clothes so that it would not overwhelm the guests.

The pleated skirt bloomed like flowers in the palace, and the woman bowed down gracefully. Her fluent Chinese made the eyes of the officials a lot gentler, but what she said later made Emperor Hongwu change color.

"Your Majesty! The new commanders in Guizhou ordered Ma Ye to massacre the Luoluo people in Shuixi when he was enlisting the officers and soldiers to open the post, and forced Suixiang to pay taxes. Last year, there was a severe drought in Guizhou, and there was no food harvest. The western part of Shangshui supported the imperial court’s military rations before, but they really couldn’t use the food as a tax. Unexpectedly, Suxiang wrote a plea to plead for mercy, but Ma Ye took Suxiang to Guiyang, where he was tortured naked and flogged.”

When Liu Shuzhen said this, she choked up with grief and indignation, and immediately fell to the ground for a big week.

"Your Majesty, the leaders of Shexiang's 48 departments heard that he was humiliated, and wanted to rebel. Fortunately, Shexiang understood the righteousness and expressed to his ministers that he did not want to rebel. However, this matter has now been reported in western Guizhou, northern Guizhou and northeast Yunnan. It spread among the clans, the people complained, and the ministers were dull, but they knew that the situation was really bad."

"It's just that the minister wandered around in many ways, so he could only try to calm the people. I was afraid that the news of the civil unrest would cause misunderstanding if it spread to the capital, so I had to go to Yingtian Mansion to make a statement first." The woman took out a memorial book from her sleeve. , raising his hands, "The Luoluo tribe has no intention of rebelling, it is really that Ma Ye has taken power too far, and his insult to Shexiang has aroused people's anger and resentment. Now, people's grievances are everywhere, and it is really difficult to suppress. Your Majesty, please pay attention!"

When Emperor Hongwu heard the words, he asked someone to take the memorial presented by Liu Shuzhen on his knees, and looked through it in his hand.Looking at it, Emperor Hongwu couldn't help staring, and when he saw the handprints of the last row of Guizhou Tu tribe chiefs who jointly left the certificate, he was even more furious.

He hit the case hard and immediately sent someone to transfer Ma Ye back to the capital.

When the Jin Wuwei who took the order exited the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang took a breath and comforted him: "This time when the army went out, Shuixi and Shuidong made great contributions. Don't worry, sir, if this is true, I will never forgive you lightly!"

Liu Shuzhen burst into tears and said long live, her gratitude was beyond words.

Because of the public grievances in Guizhou, Emperor Hongwu's interest was not very high since then. Even when he learned that the Tu people in Yunnan brought him thirty elephants this time, he just laughed at the corners of his mouth and praised his sincere love for Qing, so he will After accepting the gift, it seemed that he was still focused on the Southwest Rebellion.

However, the sight of the thirty elephants entering the city provided enough information for the residents of Yingtianfu, whether it was the elephants strolling in the front, or the ones chasing after them with their eyes fixed on the elephant's buttocks. Jinyiwei...

Ahem, urban environmental sanitation is also part of Jinyiwei's responsibilities, so things like poop are also within their scope of supervision.

These elephants circled the city for a week and were placed in the elephant garden near Xuanwu Lake after showing the people a lot of excitement.The elephant garden has lush grass and a wide field, which can satisfy the elephants' hobbies of playing in water, rolling mud and pulling trees (?). Therefore, most of the elephants in the capital of Ming Dynasty live there.

The Elephant Garden was also the place where Emperor Hongwu first selected his mounts.Emperor Hongwu had a special elephant chariot when he traveled, but elephants are timid, big and destructive animals. Not just any elephant can be picked out to be a guard of honor for Emperor Hongwu, especially this kind of Fanbang The elephants presented must go through strict examination.

The first thing to ensure is a docile personality, good health, and whether there will be a special response to certain sounds. In case someone has trained the elephant in advance and then takes advantage of this, it will not be good.

Of course, under normal circumstances, in order to prevent this, the elephants that directly pull the chariot are usually selected by officials themselves, or are small elephants raised since childhood, so that people can feel more at ease.

As the perfect partner of the elephants, the peacocks brought from Yunnan were also kept in the elephant garden.

Peacocks are timid and live on tree branches on weekdays. Their diet is similar to that of elephants, so the leftover feed after feeding elephants can be used as their food.

Ahem, of course, the first hurdle for the gentle and beautiful peacocks to arrive at Yingtian Mansion is to fight the local birds for [-] rounds first, to ensure that they can eat enough in the future.

Compared with them, Dahua and her family members are much happier.

Yes, now Da Hua is no longer a single bird. He found a wife when he was in Yunnan, and now he is a successful bird with a small family.

Peacocks are still a rare thing in Daming, so even though this season is the moulting period of Dahua, Dahua still lives in her debut with the exquisite and beautiful appearance of the green peacock and the blessing of her beautiful wife, and is honored to be a The brightest bird in the Daming Palace.

The appearance of their family immediately made the big goose family, which used to dominate in the back garden, feel a strong sense of crisis—when everyone’s recipes are similar, one more bird is considered one more enemy!

The sons and grandsons of Emperor Hongwu are all waiting in battle, wanting to know who has the stronger fighting power, the beautiful peacock or the relatively plain goose.However, it is a pity that this "battle of the century" was not successfully fought, because they soon had a common enemy.

——The cat who sees the bird.

This golden cat is not very old, but its love for bird feathers is clearly written in its DNA. From the first time it saw the peacock in the imperial garden, it could no longer control its claws.

Every day, Muwen has a headache because his two pets can't live in harmony.

He hugged the fluffy dumpling that was hissing at the fleeing peacock in his arms, pressed the little dumpling down with one hand, then turned it over skillfully, pinching the cat's paw and accusing: "Yesterday you didn't Have you promised me not to fight Ah Hua?"

"Aww!" the yellow-and-white Mao Tuanzi groaned, and it raised its chin proudly after defeating the enemy again.However, its victory didn't get the response it deserved. Maotuan suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked his mouth in dissatisfaction, frantically implying that the little cub in front of him was hungry.

It doesn't open its mouth to bite anymore, it just scratches it with its paws, it's enough to drain the water, what more do you want from a tiger?

The author has something to say: There were many famous female officials in the Ming Dynasty, Mrs. Shexiang and Liu Shuzhen were the representatives.

Both of these two are female officials in Guizhou. They both took over the responsibility of replacing their husbands after their husbands died, and achieved excellent results.

Especially Mrs. Shexiang, she sent food and grass to the Ming army in the early days. Later, when she was blamed by Ma Ye, she held back her inner annoyance for peace and took the initiative to contact Emperor Hongwu. Later, she opened a post station in Guizhou, actively communicated with the Central Plains, and learned culture. And agricultural knowledge played a great role in the later establishment of Guizhou province.

For her, Emperor Hongwu lamented: the extravagance and fragrance belonged to her, and she won a hundred thousand soldiers.After his death, special envoys were sent to pay homage to extravagant incense, and a cemetery was built (note that the tombs of ordinary people are called tombs, and the tombs are already at the level of princes and kings). This shows how satisfied he is.

Liu Shuzhen was also very strong. After Shexiang was whipped, it was she who saw that Ma Hui was trying to make trouble and stopped him in time.

Later, the two of them were named "Mrs. Mingde" (second rank), and the other was Mrs. Shexiang (third rank). They became the two pearls of the Southwest in the early Ming Dynasty with both official positions and orders.
