Qi Linggong ordered the palace maid to do what she didn't want to do, but this scene is common on the street today
Although it was a period of war, it was also a critical period for the reconstruction of the Central Plains.
The first to emerge were the sixteenth monarch of Qi State, Xiao Bai, the famous Duke of Qi Huan, and the twelfth grandson of Jiang Taigong Lu Shang.
The reason why Guan Zhong was able to become the first overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period was not only due to his own reasons, but also because the Duke of Qi Huan supported Guan Zhong's bold reforms and made Qi the most powerful vassal state.
However, in the later years of his reign, especially after Guan Zhong's death, he embarked on a path of no return for pleasure, and eventually reaped the fruits of his own life and starved to death; His body was covered with worms and buried in the ground for sixty or seventy days before being laid to rest.
After Duke Qi Huan, the State of Qi also began to decline, but fortunately, the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and the weak Jiang Ziya Qi State was still slowly advancing, but Duke Qi Huan could not imagine that the mediocrity of his later years had really affected generations of monarchs, so there were many strange kings.
And Qi Linggong, as the twenty-fourth red-named monarch of Qi State, is undoubtedly the best of these strange people.
It can even be said that with the death of Jiang Qiyi, Jiang Qiyi was gradually replaced by Tian Qiyi, Qi Linggong"It's hard to get away with it"；If Qi Linggong wasn't so reckless, how could he replace Tian Qiyi so easily?
Qi Linggong has a special hobby, that is, wandering around, which makes the palace maids very unhappy, but now he can be seen everywhere on the street, and many people feel that this is not embarrassment, but fashion.
So, what is Qi Linggong's special hobby?
Let's take a look.
Qi Linggong's self-destructive method.
Duke Qi Ling, known as Duke Lu Huan in history, is the son of Duke Qi Qing, who reigned for 27 years and was a long-lived monarch in time, but he did not leave a reputation for hard work, but increasingly towards the road of mediocrity and incompetence.
At the beginning of Qi Linggong's accession to the throne, he didn't want to enjoy the treatment of his ancestor Qi Huangong, and he wanted to achieve a great career, but at that time, the Qi State had declined, and he wanted to do big business, but the authorities did not allow it, after all, the Jin State had become the most powerful prince at that time, and there was a big stone in front of the Qi State, and if you wanted to do big business, you had to take this big stone over.
At that time, Qi Linggong was still young and active in thinking, and he quickly found a solution.
Qi Linggong's idea was just the opposite: if the Jin State was strong, he would surrender, so he respected the Jin Kingdom as a false tyrant and treated the Jin State as his little brother.
Because the Jin State thought that Qi Linggong really didn't want to dominate, it reduced the pressure on the Qi Kingdom, but in fact, Qi Linggong was quietly preparing to become the sole overlord at some point in the future.
When one thinks of hegemony, it is natural to develop one's own power. After all, striking iron still needs its own hardness, so Qi Huan Gong set his sights on the neighboring country of Lu and told the Jin State that the Lu State did not listen to him, and he wanted to help the Jin State teach his younger brother a lesson.
Jin Wengong looked at Qi Linggong, this"Filial piety"Of course, it was fully supported, so Qi Linggong launched an ambitious plan to waru, but it turned out that he was unsuccessful in five consecutive battles of war.
In this way, under the leadership of Qi Linggong, the country of Qi became bigger and poorer. Later, the Jin State also realized the true intentions of the Duke of Qi Ling, and began to gather twelve large and small vassal states to raise troops to attack the Qi State.
Qi Linggong felt that it was time to show his true strength, so he personally led his troops into battle, but was defeated. As a result, the chivalrous and courageous Qi Linggong began to monopolize the palace and fell deeper and deeper on the road of self-destruction.
Qi Linggong's special hobby.
At that time, because of the limited leisure activities, if you want to spend time, of course, you have to find something that can make you happy, but as the king of a country, Qi Linggong is not interested in things like hunting, pickling girls, and banquets.
One day, he saw a concubine in the palace wearing men's clothes, and he thought it was very beautiful and thought that he could pass it on to her, so he ordered all the women in the palace to wear men's clothes.
This is Qi Linggong's special hobby, that is, female pretence.
In today's society, this hobby has become very common, and women wearing ** can be seen everywhere on the street, and some women even wear men's clothes, so that people can't tell whether they are men or women at a glance.
Today, this hobby really means nothing to us, but at the time, it was against etiquette and the law and was not allowed to be carried out on a large scale.
Besides, everyone has a love for beauty, and the women in the palace naturally have more capital to dress up, but Qi Linggong let them all wear ill-fitting **, which of course made them unable to appreciate their beauty, so they all cried, and even heard that Qi Linggong's hobbies were really miserable.
However, Qi Linggong still asked the women in the palace to wear **, although the women wore ** ugly, Qi Linggong still thought they were very beautiful.
Selling horse meat on the head of a cow.
Although it was true that the dress of the heads of state aroused the opposition of many women in the palace, the matter was eventually resolved, and women in plain clothes were rarely seen in the palace.
The phenomenon of palace maids wearing ** is gradually circulating among the people, and even women dressed up ** also appear in public, after all, wearing ** in public has an upward trend than wearing**, which is not only affordable, but also convenient for engaging in agricultural activities.
Women in folklore don't pay much attention to dressing, and wearing ** seems to be a way to reduce the cost of living, which is actually the reason why folklore is so popular.
However, when the women of civil society began to wear **, Qi Linggong couldn't sit still, and at first thought that this was a good custom to undermine civil society.
So, he ordered Qi Guo:
In the future, if the police encounter a woman dressed as a **, they will cut off her belt, and let her show her on the street, and her husband will be jointly and severally liable for a fine.
But this situation did not end after the decree was issued, after all, there were very few ** who guarded all the farmland and torn clothes.
Qi Linggong was furious and asked Yan Zi for advice on how to solve the matter.
After hearing this, Yan Zi took Qi Linggong straight to the butcher shop with the cow's head and said.
Your Majesty, look at this shop. There are cow heads hanging outside, but they sell horse meat. Your Majesty is now asking people in the palace to wear **, but you want to ban women from dressing up as ** across the board, what is the difference between this and this butcher shop? "On the surface, it is the same, but behind it there is another mystery.
Hearing this, Qi Linggong thought for a moment, and then put forward his own suggestion: The whole country is popular to ban male pretends, and we must start fundamentally and first prohibit people in the palace from pretending to be men.
Idioms"Selling horse meat on the head of a cow. "Gradually, it evolved"Selling dog meat on the head of a sheep", which is considered to be one of Qi Linggong's merits.
Duke Qi Huan listened to Yan Zi's words and abolished the order for women in the palace to wear **, and Qi gradually stopped the trend of women wearing **.
Only the state of Qi could not reverse the decline in this way, and finally embarked on the road of destruction...
