Chapter 1061 The Color of Heaven and Earth

Zhao Ming, who was in Chen County, heard about this somewhere. Without saying a word, he sent Zhao Hanzhang two sketches of his wedding clothes.

Needless to say, Zhao Hanzhang fell in love at first sight, so he looked at Fu Tinghan.

Fu Tinghan was also stunned and felt that this was the wedding dress he wanted, so he nodded at her.

Neither of them had any objections, but Wang, Zhao Song, and her dear courtiers did. Even the little emperor in the palace expressed his opinions in a low voice.

Then these two sketches failed, and everyone began to make modifications on the sketches. During this period, Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan were completely unable to speak.

In the words of Ji Yuan and Ming Yu, "Hunli is not only a good match between two surnames, but also for serving the ancestral temple, and for inheriting the descendants. The girl is now in a high and powerful position, and is regarded by all the nobles and common people in the world. Therefore, the girl’s wedding must be in accordance with the etiquette.”

Ji Yuan's opinion is, "Girls drove out the Xiongnu and stabilized the country and the people. This is the merit of the creation of the world. According to etiquette, girls should attend the wedding of the princes."

Ming Yu also thinks so: "This is an opportunity to show off to the world. If the girl doesn't seize it, won't others look down on her?"

What is pushing the envelope?

First, he had to gain some ground. Like Ji Yuan, Ming Yu had other thoughts, so he naturally pushed her up step by step.

Zhao Hanzhang deserves the courtesy of the princes.

Zhao Hanzhang felt that what they said made sense, and then said: "Isn't the sketch wedding dress given by Uncle Ming a gift from the princes?"

Ming Yu said without changing his expression: "I think Governor Zhao has a misunderstanding of the etiquette of princes. The proportion of black in the formal dress is too heavy, and the proportion of pure color should be increased."

Ji Yuan nodded in agreement.

Zhao Hanzhang: ...Don't bully her for her lack of education. If she changes it like they do, she will be infinitely close to the emperor's dress, which is already against the rules.

Black and pure are two very special colors, which represent people's respect for heaven and earth.

Qian is the sky, and its color is black. Zhao Hanzhang has always believed that the black color is the black of lightning and flint at the beginning of the world. The black is red, the sky is mysterious, so it is black;

The color is a combination of red and yellow, which is as gorgeous as the sunset mixed with the colors of the earth.

Kun is the earth, yellow in color, and the earth has no right position, so it is located in the south. South means fire, and the color of fire is red. In addition, human beings yearn for and worship fire, so red is added, and the mixture of the two colors becomes the color of Qin.

In "The Rites of Zhou", these two colors are the colors of the emperor's auspicious clothes. In the pre-Qin Dynasty, the wedding clothes recorded were these two colors, and they were the mainstream wedding clothes until this time.

Among them, the new husband’s wedding dress is Xuanyi and Shang, which means the harmony of yin and yang;

The bride's wedding dress is all black, with only the skirt and edge of the dress being gray. What is the gusset? It is the hem of the clothes. The meaning of this setting is single-mindedness.

But people always have complicated thoughts. When they attribute the difference between two colors to status, everyone thinks that different proportions of Xuan He color represent different status.

Otherwise, why would the proportion of the emperor's auspicious clothes be higher than those of the princes and kings?

In the sketch that Zhao Ming drew for them, the color of Fu Tinghan's wedding dress was normal, but some minor modifications were made to the pattern of the dress;

But hers is different from the wedding clothes of ordinary brides. Instead, it is modified compared to Fu Tinghan's wedding clothes, greatly increasing the use of pure and red colors, which is almost comparable to the colors of the auspicious clothes worn by princes and kings.

Ji Yuan and Ming Yu still felt that it was missing, and wanted to add some more proportions, which touched Zhao Song's bottom line.

He couldn't help but scold Ji Yuan and Ming Yu, saying that they had ulterior motives, "Sanniang is loyal and only serves the king and the people. As the prime ministers of Jin, you two did not tell her about inappropriate behavior, but instead deceived her." Violating the rules of extravagance, the treacherous and sycophantic heart is clearly exposed."

He scolded them for "for their own selfish interests, they actually ignored the king's favor and even abandoned loyalty, justice, benevolence and filial piety."

Both Ji Yuan and Ming Yu remained calm and did not mind Zhao Song's insults. They still insisted on changing their wedding clothes.

They are not the prime ministers of Jin, they are the prime ministers of Zhao Hanzhang!

They did not become officials for the Jin Dynasty, but first for the people of the world, and then for Zhao Hanzhang. She is naturally loyal and righteous. What does she have to do with the little emperor of the Sima family who is currently sitting in her position?

The two men had a tough attitude. The courtiers who stood behind them and pushed Zhao Hanzhang to that position naturally would not give in. Ji Yuan and Ming Yu couldn't scold him back, so they scolded him.

Therefore, Zhao Hanzhang had just received the news that Zhao Song had blocked Ji Yuan and Ming Yu. Before he arrived, the ministers made Zhao Song so angry that he went to see the doctor.

Oh, he was carried away.

When things got to this point, it was impossible for Zhao Hanzhang to wait for their argument to come out. She had to take a stand.

Sure enough, political struggles always come in unexpected ways.

Who would have thought that just by getting married, the color and style of her wedding dress could start such a big battle?

Even Beigong Chun from Bingzhou and Shi Le from Youzhou got involved.

Bei Gongchun was a loyal minister. Although he recognized Zhao Hanzhang as his master, he was also loyal to Jin Ting, and he believed that Zhao Hanzhang and he were the same from the bottom of his heart.

They all have a red heart, but because of their outstanding abilities, they are misunderstood and wary of the world.

He was familiar with this kind of experience, so he first wrote to Zhao Hanzhang to comfort her and ask her not to take the world's misunderstandings to heart;

Then he wrote to Ji Yuan, thinking that they were forcing Zhao Hanzhang to deviate from his original intention, and using himself as an example, thinking that the more they did, the unhappy Zhao Hanzhang would be.

Ji Yuan and Zhao Hanzhang received the letter:...

How simple!

Shi Le was different. He directly encouraged Zhao Hanzhang to use the emperor's auspicious clothes to get married, and said to her, "You have the power to calm down the troubled times, and your merits are better than those of the princes. But the newcomer is the biggest and has a habit of leapfrogging. Why can't you use the emperor's clothes?" Jifu?"

"If it weren't for your Zhao family's foolish loyalty, you should have ascended the throne long ago. The Sima family is not a famous and orthodox family. As long as you have the ability, who can't take over his family's power?" Shi Le said: "And you are not only meritorious, but also moral. Yu Wang, if you proclaim yourself emperor, I, Shi Le, will be the first to respond."

The two letters arrived one after another, and Zhao Hanzhang was speechless again. As soon as she put the letter down, she received news that Zhao Song was carried to see the doctor in anger.

Zhao Hanzhang knew that she could no longer let their dispute continue, otherwise, the dispute would spread from the capital to other places, and then...

She suddenly felt that she was really too busy. Because it was the Chinese New Year, everyone had nothing to do. She had time to think about these messy things, right?

Zhao Hanzhang put down the letter and drove out of the palace.

At the gate of the palace, they met Ji Yuan and others who looked worried.

When they saw Zhao Hanzhang, they all lowered their heads in a gesture of confession.

They knew that Zhao Song had a special status, but they didn't expect that he could be so angry. He fainted from anger just by saying a few words.

Zhao Hanzhang shook his head at them, but still said: "I will resolve this matter, and you can go about your business."

He hurriedly chased him on horseback to Zhao Song's house.

Ji Yuan and others all breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Zhao Hanzhang's back, they were moved and felt a little guilty.

Good night
