The first day of the first month of the first year of Yuanfeng.

The weather was unusually sunny, and at night at the beginning of the month, nothing could hide the starlight in the sky. The fireworks launched into the sky one by one could not suppress the light of the Sky Wolf, Nanhe III and Betelgeuse IV.

Although it was only the third watch, just after the child, the lights reflected the snow, but it didn't seem too dark. A snowfall the day before yesterday made the city of Tokyo covered in snow.

Han Gang pushed open the window, and the crackling sound of firecrackers immediately became louder, and a cold wind swept into the room. Taking a deep breath of the cold air of the winter night, my mind, which had become drowsy during the vigil, suddenly became awake again.

Looking back, the children who were just making a fuss about keeping the New Year were carried back to the room by the nursing mother, and the children couldn't stay up all night, and they couldn't open their eyes after letting off the firecrackers. There were only a few wives and concubines left in the room who were helping them sort out the clothes of the previous court, and even the maids were sent out.

He smiled: "It's already the first year of Yuanfeng." ”

In the ten years with Xining as the name, it is a climax since the founding of the country militarily, the southern and northern wars have been gained, and the Western Xia has been beaten to the point of no power to fight back, and the achievement of opening up the territory is also to make today's son close to the Taimiao can also raise his eyebrows and be worthy of the ancestors.

However, in political affairs, not to mention the disputes between the two parties in the DPRK situation, even natural disasters are one after another. The Municipal Law of Change, the Law of Exemption from Labor, and the Qingmiao Loan, which was renamed as the Convenience Loan, are essentially scraping money from the people for national use. If there are no natural disasters, it is fine. However, in the second half of the Xining period, that is, in the last few years, the private wealth of the whole country has been shrinking under successive disasters.

Just last year, Han Gang was still in Guangxi, but north of Wuling, it was another national disaster year, and fortunately, the Battle of Annan did not use many troops, and he tried to be as frugal as possible, otherwise I don't know if I can support it.

Looking at this situation, in fact, he went in the direction of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Shilin and the people also had some discussions. Of course, Zhao Ji himself didn't like it, Wang Anshi had asked him to target Yao Shun, and Zhao Ji also felt that he had to be at least a Tang Taizong. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was regarded as the last emperor to make an edict against himself, was a humiliation.

In such a situation, it is inevitable to change the yuan to seek a good omen.

"I heard that the Taichang Rite Academy gave two era names and asked the officials to appoint them." Wang Yi and Han Gang were talking, and Zhou Nan and Yun Niang took Han Gang's court clothes.

Today is the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting, and of course the three-grade official uniform that Han Gang wears can't be worn, and he must wear a scarlet robe and a scarlet skirt that are all vermilion. The lining is Bai Hualuo's middle lan, which Han Gang did not have before he was promoted to the sixth rank. However, he has now accumulated merit as a doctor from the fifth grade, and he has been given a three-grade uniform, so he can use it a long time ago

- The rank of loose official and the official are two different things. The official decided to pay for it, also known as the official of Jilu; The loose officials only decide the color of the clothes, that is, the attire of the court and the official clothes, which is far less important than the official who determines the number of money [Note 1].

Han Gang stretched out his hand and asked Yun Niang to take a large Suluo belt to help tie the middle single on his body, "Which two era names are they?" ”

"Mi-sung, Pung-hyung." Wang Yi turned his head to look at Han Gang, pointed and told Yun Niang, "The waist should be tied tightly, and the white head of the belt should not be exposed." ”

Yun Niang immediately got busy. This is also the habit of the Han family, when they were in the court, it was the job of the wife and concubine to help Han Gang dress, and the maid was not allowed to interfere.

Han Gang sighed and tasted the era names formulated by the two ceremonies of Meicheng and Fengheng, it seems that the court is indeed frightened by the catastrophe, and they are all praying for a good year. "But these two are really not very good, and they don't sound good to the ear. Meicheng is a big sheep, unlucky. ”

Han Gang said that it was the same as the blind man outside who dismantled the word and counted the people, the word 'beauty' was split into sheep and big, and it contained the word 'Ge', and the sheep was big to kill, of course, it was unlucky.

"That's what the officials said." Wang Yi looked her husband up and down, and when she saw that there was no problem, she nodded, and Zhou Nan hurriedly brought the scarlet robe she was wearing outside.

Han Gang opened his arms again and asked Zhou Nan and Yun Niang to put on the robe and skirt on their bodies, while Wang Yi was still supervising.

Han Gang is going to participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting, and there is something wrong with his clothes and attire, which is a crime of disrespect, and the imperial historians will not think that they have little work. However, with Wang Yi, the daughter of the prime minister, staring, and Zhou Nan from the Department of Education, he knows the etiquette of the chapter very well, and Han Gang can be happy.

"Feng Heng is only good at words, Feng Heng Yu is big. Wealth is rich and virtuous, so it is called abundant; Deda is all-encompassing, wealth is all-encompassing, nothing is hindered, it is called Heng, so it is called Fengheng. After years of hard work, Han Gang is already a Confucian with outstanding background, and Kong Yingda's annotations are also at his fingertips, "Why don't you like this era name for the Son of Heaven?" ”

"I can't do it for my son."

Han Gang clapped his hands, "No wonder! ”

"Don't move, officials." Zhou Nan called Han Gang and made him stop his movements, put on his underwear for Han Gang, took out a black rhinoceros, and tied it tightly around Han Gang's waist with Yun Niang.

Zhao Ji doesn't like the word 'Heng' in Feng Heng, because the following is '了', which is one less horizontal than 'son', so it is called 'not for the son', which is not good for his parents. Taking this as your year name is, of course, it has an impact on the Empress Dowager Gao.

"The Son of Heaven is the most filial piety, so I don't like the word 'Heng'." Wang Yi said.

However, Han Gang is estimated to be more afraid that the 'Heng' with one less 'son' will kill him Zhao Ji's imperial heir, which can also be interpreted as 'not succeeding for the son'.

So Zhao Ji will Feng Heng, go to the word Heng, and add a yuan in front. The Yuan, the beginning, can also be a 'big' solution, according to Yan Shigu's words, it is 'more subject to the great destiny of heaven'. Yuanfeng is the great destiny of heaven, Shifeng, Dafeng.

The origin of the introduction of the Yuanfeng year name is only known to the daughter of the former prime minister.

As far as Han Gang knows, this is also the reason why Xining was used as the era name at the beginning. In the fourth year of Zhiping, the first year of Zhao Ji's ascension to the throne - Yingzong died at the beginning of the year, and there was no change of yuan at that time - it was also a series of disasters.

Drought in May, flooding in June, near July, Hebei displaced people in the road, this is nothing, starting from August, Beijing, Fujian earthquake one after another. Therefore, in order to seek a peace, there is the word Xining - 'Xi' is prosperity, and 'Ning' is naturally tranquility. At that time, I hoped that God would stop a little.

"With Yuanfeng as the year name, it was at the beginning of September. Daddy also knew that in November, the edict was prepared, and it was Feng Xianggong who took the lead in signing it, but it was only when it was the winter solstice suburbs this year that it was made public to the world. At that time, it had already been replaced by Wu Xianggong, so he was busy changing the edict again. ”

Han Gang couldn't help but laugh when he heard Wang Yi tell the story he didn't know.

Feng Jing was also unlucky, as the prime minister, he was still able to be ousted in the year of the suburbs. It can be said that Zhang Shangying's impeachment was at the right time, and he started before the suburbs, Feng Jing, as the prime minister, could only abdicate the throne, and in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the triennial ceremony of the imperial court, he could only change the prime minister.

Of course, the Son of Heaven actually has the option of kicking Zhang Shangying out of the gang and keeping Feng Jing. But in the imperial history, Deng Runfu led a group of imperial historians to impeach Feng Jing, so that Zhao Ji could not empty the imperial history platform for Feng Jing - Wang Anshi can have this amount, Feng Jing is not qualified. And in the suburban ceremony, the work of the imperial historians is very important, so they can only let Feng Jing go - it is better to change one than many. What's more, Feng Jing's impeachment charges couldn't be clarified for a while, and Zhao Ji didn't have time to delay him. However, with Wu Chong coming to office, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will also be angry at Lu Huiqing and others for ignoring the overall situation.

I hate to press the gold thread year after year, and make wedding clothes for others. Lu Huiqing is really too anxious, and she must know that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it.

Han Gang sighed twice, anyway, it didn't matter to him, he never thought of mixing with Lu Huiqing.

It's just helping Han Gang get dressed, Zhou Nan and Yun Niang are so busy that their foreheads are sweating, Wang Yi doesn't talk to Han Gang anymore, his eyes look up and down, and he doesn't let go of it carefully, making sure that there is no problem with the wearing of clothes.

Lace up your belt and you'll find the next thing about accessories. Han Gang Sanguan is from the fifth rank, but he was given a three-rank uniform, and his attire is equivalent to that of a third-rank official. The official dress is a purple robe, and the court dress is also a third-grade first-class. The silver sword, jade pendant, and silver ring were matched one by one, and Zhou Nan took a lion-patterned brocade ribbon for Han Gang to tie around his waist and hang it down to his knees.

Yun Niang is holding a top. Jin Xianguan, let Han Gang sit down, and bring it to him. Wang Yi also walked up and moved the crown upright, and then inserted the long rhino horn hairpin, and pinned the Jinxian crown and bun.

The tiara, clothes, and accessories were all put on, and there were shoes and socks underneath. White socks and black wooden leather boots, which are also part of the court dress.

The door of the outer room was pushed open, and Yan Suxin, who went to the small kitchen, brought two rough maids, touched a few cups of winter tonic medicinal soup, and brought in breakfast for Han Gang.

Han Yunniang and Zhou Nan squatted to help Han Gang put on shoes and socks, while Yan Suxin gave Han Gang the medicinal soup first, and then gave Wang Yi a cup, and the two maids also set the breakfast on the table.

The two beautiful concubines finally put on their shoes and socks and stood up prettyly. Han Gang took a sip of the boiling hot soup, and if he wanted, his wives and concubines could help blow it cold and feed it to his mouth. In daily life, anyone can serve to the smallest detail. Such a decadent and erosive life is rare to enjoy in later generations, but in this era, it is very common.

After changing into court clothes and eating Yan Suxin's carefully prepared breakfast, Han Gang was about to leave for the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting. Before leaving, he did not forget to say goodbye to his wife and concubine, and by the way, he also reminded Wang Yi to rest early, "You also have to enter the palace in the afternoon, you have to nourish your spirits." ”

Wang Yi also has a decree in his body, and he relied on Han Gang to get the title of county king. In the afternoon, she had to change into the clothes of a foreign woman and go to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the Empress, which was an inevitable red tape.

"Now that the slave family knows the way, the officials can rest assured that they will go to the court."

Wang Yi bent his knees and blessed him, and sent Han Gang out of Lu with Zhou Nan, Su Xin and Yun Niang.

The gate of the Han Mansion opened, and a group of riders streamed out of the courtyard and headed in the direction of Miyagi.
