391 East and West stop coming and going (1)
It is clever to be able to see through the world.
Seeing through the world and knowing when and how to say it is maturity and wisdom.
Wei Yun was obviously a smart man, but he still lacked maturity and wisdom. As he said, the Manchu hair shaving order was an evil method of doing things in reverse, but it could indeed meet the ruling needs of Manchu nobles: to distinguish between enemies and us. However, Wei Yun made the mistake of either this or that. A truly wise person can not only distinguish between black and white, but also see the "gray" between black and white, and tolerate it.
"Those who would rather die than shave their hair for the sake of the whole ancestor's uniform, are loyal ministers and filial sons, but the people who had to surrender under the butcher knife of the Manchus cannot be considered a sin." Seeing Wei Yun's words and deeds, Zhu Cilang knew that he was the bud of the hawks in the army. Under the cover of his youthful and passionate blood, he was a realistic idea of pursuing victory and making full use of resources. If possible in the future, such people would tie the Ming Dynasty to a chariot for interests at any time.
I have to say that this kind of thought is in line with Zhu Cilang.
It’s just that Zhu Cilang is more mature and can make choices between interests.
"From the heart, I feel very guilty." Zhu Cixuan said in a low voice: "My Zhu family has been in the world for three hundred years, but now it cannot even protect the people. I have always remembered a story these two days."
No matter what the story is, being raised by the crown prince on such an occasion is a clear signal. Everyone in the conference room looked at Zhu Cilang and waited for this signal.
"When I was a child, I heard from the palace people that ancient times: First, when Cao Cao marched, he clearly ordered his soldiers not to trample on the fields. If anyone violated, he used military law to judge. Later, Cao Cao accidentally stepped into the fields, so Cao Cao cut his hair and replaced his head to clarify the military discipline." Zhu Cixuan said slowly.
Combined with Zhu Cilang's "crime" above, this story is clearly intended to tell everyone that the crown prince wants to "cut his hair and replace him".
Veterans such as You Shiwei couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.
Cutting hair and replacing the head is not Cao Cao's patent, it often appears in historical books, and is actually a magic medicine to meet the needs of all people.
If the people in power cut their hair and punish themselves, the guards will feel very relieved. In their opinion, hair is as important as the head. If the people in power are willing to cut their hair, it is no different from beheading their heads, but they only need to keep their useful body to keep their heads.
For the people, this is the maintenance of social morality by the powerful and the real self-comfort of the noble and the humble. Why is Cao Cao so famous for cutting his hair? Because he is a representative of the hero, and folk prejudice believes that he has destroyed the most morality, so when he stands on the stance of maintaining morality, it contrasts the bright spots of morality.
Like Cao Cao's hair cut, the people like to talk about is also the dragon robe in "The Crown Cat Changes the Prince". The dragon robe is replaced by the emperor himself. It is just like using hair instead of the head. Although the emperor has no feeling at all, it seems to the people that "the emperor breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people."
This is the unique social psychology of people in this era. It is not because they are fantasizing or self-comfort, but because of their inner belief in "morality".
Zhu Cixuan proposed to cut off his hair and blame himself, not because he really thought that the emperor was trashing his responsibility. But because of a detail that no one noticed: internal hygiene.
A long black and shiny hair tied into a bun and wearing a crown scarf is indeed an aesthetically "elegant" sign. However, this long hair is not something that everyone has to keep. First of all, there must be a servant who can help comb his hair every morning and comb his hair every evening. If it is an ordinary family, how can they have free time to use half an hour to take care of their hair every morning and evening?
Furthermore, according to traditional customs, you cannot wash your hair just by washing. You must act according to the calendar and avoid doing things. However, the days suitable for shampooing are arranged randomly. In other words, even in the summer, your scalp is itchy and scratches your lungs, you can only use a comb instead of water.
Even if it is washed with water, you can only use soap. This traditional sanitary product replaced by soap and shampoo has recovered in Zhu Cixuan's previous life - because people are afraid of chemical products like tigers and believe in "pure natural" products. However, it is not without reason that it will be replaced. Although soapy hair is refreshing and smooth in a short period of time, in less than a day, oily hair will not be suppressed from oily.
If you encounter seborrheic hair loss and dandruff, your long hair is even more painful. Every morning when you wake up, you will get a handful of hair on your pillow. In severe cases, you will also have "ghost shaving" and become bald overnight.
The soldiers have to practice every day, and it is impossible not to sweat. The "alcal calendar" issued in the camp now is "shower" every day, but even so, no one will wash his hair every day because his hair is too long and it is difficult to dry. At least he can take a bath at the station. If he is marching outside, he cannot take a bath for ten days and half a month, and lice on his head is very common.
Therefore, the "Ancients" with buns tied in their hair in the military camp were not Jia Baoyu in "Dream of Red Mansions". When they woke up in the morning, they just used a comb to cage their hair from bottom to top to the bun, and packed them with dirty rags, and didn't care about the frying of random hair, and looked quite sloppy.
Even so, the hair will be quickly messed up due to itchy scalp or head lice.
The situation in the market is similar to that in the military camp. Since the people are used to it, it is not a problem. But in the army, this is a major event that affects combat effectiveness. As a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, Zhu Cilang had long wanted to use his hair to perform surgery. But he knew the sensitivity of his hair, so he had not moved for a long time.
If a "hair revolution" can be launched on the grounds of "self-punishment", it will undoubtedly solve the two problems of military appearance and hygiene. When you retire from the army in the future, you will be able to return to the local area and then store your hair. Even if you shave it into a slab, it will be enough to store it to the extent that you can tie your hair and tie your bun for up to one year.
You Shiwei and others really thought that the crown prince wanted to "punish himself" because of "crime". They were all military generals who had never read any books of sages, and it was impossible for them to quote scriptures and persuade Zhu Cixuan. In the end, Qin Liangyu said: "I would like to teach the instructor to cut his hair and atone for his sins."
The instructor is the flag bearer of the ideological in the army, and many of them are from the middle-aged officials, so the resistance to cutting hair is the least. Anyway, even the little one can be cut off, so what is the hair?
In order to prevent some instructors from responding to the story that they can’t make up their minds, the general training department has also issued hairstyle standards. After cutting, you cannot pass the eyebrows in front and the collar after the hair is cut, so there is no other requirement.
After the instructor takes action, the officers and soldiers will not follow up on their own initiative.
At this time, it was Zhu Cilang's turn to add another fire.
Just like usual, Lu Suyao took the palace servant into the Crown Prince's bedroom, and wanted to wash and comb the prince's highness, and report today's work arrangements. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the Crown Prince standing in front of the dressing mirror, her hair spreading, and she was holding a handful of long black hair in her hand.
"Your Highness!" Lu Suyao had already cried and knelt on the ground.
The other palace servants put down the vessels in their hands and knelt on the ground. They soon cried and shouted, "Your Highness."
The guard at the door thought something was happening, so he rushed in, but saw that His Royal Highness had really cut his hair and punished himself, turning his long hair into short hair with his ears, and knelt on the ground with the palace people.
Zhu Cilang didn't say a word from beginning to end. It was not until You Shiwei that Qin Liangyu rushed over when he heard the news. He handed the cut off the ship to Lu Suyao in the surprised eyes of the two veterans, and said to Qin Liangyu and You Shiwei: "I never have to take charge of my subordinates for me for many years. It is a shame for the military and the general. It is a crime for the general; it is a crime for me, the emperor's father, who is the world's example and cannot be punished, so I, the son's father, will be punished."
Qin Liangyu was shocked and finally came back to her energy and choked up and said, "Your Highness... isn't this!"
Zhu Cilang's face did not change, and turned to Lu Suyao and said, "If you don't wash up, your morning work will be delayed."
Lu Suyao then stood up from the ground, and the people in the Palace of Life washed Zhu Cilang. She carefully held her broken hair, tied it tightly with yellow silk strips on both ends, and found a treasure bag to store it. Ming people's hair was not unhinged, but whenever their hair was long and waist was cut off with scissors. They had to be cut off the hair that fell on weekdays. They had to be kept as a souvenir after their death, or burned it.
But this time I have to use a large size.
Since the crown prince said "the shame of a warrior and the crime of a general", Qin Liangyu also cut his hair after leaving the house. You Shiwei wanted to pretend to be confused, but seeing that Qin Liangyu had already shown his loyalty, if he was unconscious, he would be embarrassed to be forced to break his hair in the future. He simply made up his mind and pulled his sword to break his long hair, but he felt loose on his head. Looking at the gray hair in his hand, he didn't feel too sad.
When the two governors took the lead in cutting off their hair, rumors spread in the army: Anyone with the rank of general must cut their hair and punish themselves; any soldier who consciously cut their hair will have unexpected surprises.
Just one morning, five or six staff officers of the General Staff cut their hair. By noon, nearly half of the staff officers cut their hair and punished themselves and swore to avenge their shame.
The surprise soon came. The General Logistics Department issued a notice: For all soldiers with hair cuts, a monthly haircut allowance is better than nothing for officers, but for soldiers, it is a major allowance second only to combat allowance. As the backbone of the army, the old guards of the East Palace are all without parents, and the relationship between hair and filial piety is nothing to them, especially the crown prince takes the lead and the haircut allowance is behind, so there is really no reason to keep issuing it.
Some instructors even seized this opportunity and held a haircut ceremony to strengthen the soldiers' sense of honor and responsibility for their military positions, and at the same time they were also oath meetings to follow the crown prince.
There is no refusal to kill the sword and the sea of fire... Everyone has said this. If you are reluctant to even give up your hair now, then the credibility of this vow will be worrying.
However, after the popular hair cutting in the army, another equipment reform was promoted: the space left by the helmet and hat was not only useless, but has become a burden. There is also the same in the procurement directory of the logistics department: soap liquor. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
