Chapter 137 Medals, National Flags and Emblem 1
The next day
The fifteenth day of that month, the Daqing Palace ceremony was held.
The routine shouts of long live the mountain. Behind the ministers, I sat on the dragon throne of the Daqing Hall and said to all the ministers above the Golden Hall: "For so many years, I have been thinking about these questions. Just by taking advantage of today's grand dynasty meeting, I will tell these questions and discuss with you all the families. Total."
"I will listen to the Hadith of Your Majesty."
"Since the founding of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, there have been countless wars of all sizes, especially the dynasty, and the newly occupied land is even more vast. We often say, "What is the Song Dynasty? What is the Han people like? But what is the manifestation of my Song Dynasty?" I walked down the Danbi, came to the ministers, looked at them, and stomped back and forth, and said to them: "Maybe some people will say, the Han people of the Song Dynasty are specifically reflected in Chinese characters, Confucian culture, Taoist culture, etc., but I am working with me.
The Liao, Jin, and even the Xixia that I have destroyed, in the south, Dali, Jiaozhi, Khmer, Bagan, Tubo, Goryeo and Fusang, were still mostly circulating there. Although this is worthy of the pride of our Han people, what is the embodied thing that I have reflected in the Song Dynasty? When our people think about their own country, what comes first in their minds? Let's talk, speak freely."
After I finished speaking, no one immediately stood up to answer my question, but there was a buzzing whisper in the whole court. I walked back to Danbi, greeted Xiaodouzi to serve me a cup of tea, slowly drank the tea, hoping that the ministers below would say something reliable
"Your Majesty, I believe that what the Han people in the Song Dynasty should show should be the power of heaven." Cui Wenbo, a great scholar in Huagai Palace, stood up and said first.
Cui Wenbo's words made me confused, and I immediately said to him: "Tianwei? Tell me."
"As the saying goes, the power of heaven is unpredictable. Your Majesty gives grace to the people of the whole country, so that the people of the whole country do not know what power of heaven are. How can they be afraid? Therefore, I believe that Your Majesty should strictly order the world so that the people of the world can recognize the power of His Majesty. Naturally, when I think of my Song people, you will naturally think of you." Cui Wenbo's flattery was really good. It was so messy that it was just slapped on my horse's leg. If I kicked you half to death, I would be sorry for you."
"Cui Aiqing, I told you to say this. I am always stern and I will just take care of the faults of the world. If I don't want to fight, I will make everyone afraid of me like a tiger. Is it okay? Okay, I really satisfy your wish, where is the warrior in front of the palace?"
"I am here." Two imperial guards came in response.
"Cui Wenbo, a great scholar in Huagai Palace, is too fat. It really hinders my Song Dynasty's body and the power of the Song Dynasty. I will immediately drag him out and beat him until he loses weight and then drag him back." Humph, you fat man, you still dare to hold your old bureaucratic thinking and fool me here. If I can't scare you to death today, I will take your surname as my name
"Abide by the order." As he said that, two warriors in front of the hall clasped their fists, they stepped forward and set up Cui Wenbo and dragged them out of the hall.
Of course, while being dragged out, Cui Wenbo also accompanied himself: "Long live, please spare me, long live, I am talking about it without any intention, long live, I have disturbed me, long live..."
Cui Wenbo is really fat. He used the current weighing and measurement annotation to calculate. According to my eyes, this old boy weighed 300 pounds. In addition, he struggled constantly and fell down hard. The two imperial guards worked hard to drag him to the threshold of the Golden Palace. I saw that it was almost enough to scare him, so I said to the two imperial guards who were still faithfully executing my life: "Okay, you two can let him go."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Then the two of them left the Golden Palace
Cui Wenbo, who had regained his freedom, hurriedly climbed to the scene in a panic and kept kowtowing to me and apologizing. It was really like a loss. To be honest, Cui Wenbo's literary talent is still very good, and it is quite easy to use on some literary issues. If he really scares him so much that he doesn't dare to do anything in the future, it will be a loss.
Therefore, I immediately comforted him and said, "Cui Qing family, your ability and contributions to me in the Song Dynasty are obvious to all, and I remember them all in my heart. However, these major events related to the destiny of the country have to think a lot before speaking. I will not pursue this matter. Remember to do it again in the future."
"Yes, yes, I have recorded it, I have recorded it."
"Okay, you go back." As I said, Cui Wenbo slowly retreated to his seat, then quietly took out the handkerchief from his sleeve and kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.
"What do you have any other thoughts? It doesn't matter, but don't say anything brainless just to flatter me." I glanced at Cui Wenbo with a squinted look. The old fat man's forehead that had just been wiped dry immediately appeared again. Hehe, I once again satisfied the evil taste of my heart.
This is Zhou Junyan, the Minister of Rites, who came out to the troupe with the jade scepter in his hand and said to me: "Long live, I believe that the manifestation of the Song Dynasty needs to be embodied is still culture. For example, Your Majesty has occupied Longyou Road, Gansu Road, and Hetao South Road. After these three places have occupied, the original local characters, clothing, and traditions have been abolished, and they have all spoken Chinese language, wearing Hanfu, and practicing Han etiquette. Twenty years later, those people will have Xixia in their hearts. Even if they have it, it is just an ancient title."
"Due to the war, the Liao Kingdom swept the ground and soldier. At present, we have almost no one in the three places of Grassland West Road, Grassland East Road and Hetao North Road. Who are we giving our Han culture?"
"this……"
"Zheng Aiqing, you will be responsible for your method after the war is over. Who can be sure that no people from other nations will stay and integrate into us Han people?" I immediately found a step for Zheng Junyan to come down.
"I obey the order."
"Okay, everyone has said so much, so I will say a few words. The most basic manifestation of the word "country" is the flag. The flag of my Song Dynasty seems to be only the emperor's Xuanhuang Tuan Dragon Banner, General Banner, Order Banner, etc., and these flags are basically the same as the flags of other countries. For example, the flag is a surname, plus the name of the general, and other countries are the same. The city we own is just a flag with the word "Song" written on it. Therefore, I think that my Song Dynasty should first have a flag that can show our country - the national flag. Whether it is military uniforms, court uniforms, or even many flags, they are all based on red, so our national flag is also based on red, with the center of the flag sitting cross-legged in the golden dragon, holding the sun and the moon with both claws as the blueprint, the Ministry of Works will make a sample first and take a look."
