Chapter 298: Zen Position

On the 10th day of December in the first year of Guardian, it was a good day.

After the full preparation of the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple and other departments, the Zen throne ceremony was held on this day.

Hundreds of officials of the imperial court, princes of the royal family, relatives of lords, and envoys of various countries, one by one, with solemn expressions, lined up into the palace under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The morning glow fills the sky, and the grand palaces are full of gold.

In front of the majestic Jinluan Palace, thousands of musicians from Taichang Temple and Jiaofang Division played ceremonial music, the music was magnificent, ups and downs, low drum sound, majestic bell, and the notes that made people resonate in the golden and brilliant Han family palace, which reminded people of the song "Memory of the Forbidden City".

The solemn hall covered by glazed tiles, the magnificent Han costumes, the huge golden canopy, the steps carved by white marble, and the mighty and majestic golden gourd warriors; As far as the eye can see, what the ears hear, all show the majestic and magnificent heritage of this country, as glorious as an epic.

In the majestic sound of ceremonial music, Zhao, who was dressed in a dragon robe and crown, seemed to ride a huge dragon chariot and slowly came in the hissing sound of the golden elephant, tiger and leopard.

Zhao seems to ascend the hall, and hundreds of officials pay homage.

Then Zhao Ru personally read the edict of the Zen position, and then Queen Liu, who was wearing a phoenix crown, led Zhao Jie, who was just able to walk, to sit on the dragon chair.

Under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, the hundred officials solemnly paid homage to the new emperor.

After the ceremony, the new emperor's edict of succession was promulgated, and the world was amnesty!

Changed the title to Zhao seems to be the king of Chu. Concubine Zhu was crowned as the empress dowager, Zhao Ji and other Jin heirs, Zhao Zonghan and other Jin princes, and Empress Shaosheng was promoted as the empress dowager, and continued to be regent by Empress Dowager Liu.

Zhang Dian and Su Songjin were crowned the princes of the country, and the opening of the palace was the same as the three divisions. Li Qingchen, Xu Jiang, and Cai Jing were also promoted to the title of Duke of the Kingdom, and the other civil and military officials were rewarded.

Then the edict of changing the yuan was promulgated, and it was scheduled to change the yuan to Wenchang next year.

Yang Yi was rewarded with some gold, silver and silk this time, and there was no change in his official position. If you analyze it from the size of the benefit, absolutely no one thought that he would participate in this Zen position incident.

After the dust settled, he was even more low-key, including the attachment of Xixia Zhuo Luo and the Southern Capital Commander Qi Ligang, he didn't ask about it again.

However, the attachment of Qiligang did add a festive atmosphere to Zhao Jie's enthronement, and it also had a certain stabilizing effect on the shock of the court brought by the Zen position, and at the same time once again attracted the attention of the government and the opposition to the northwest.

After the winter solstice, colorful booths are erected at the corners of various streets in Tokyo, and all kinds of juggling performances are staged one after another, which is wonderful; The colorful buildings and doors of the shops along the street are newly decorated, all kinds of goods are dazzling, the procurement of New Year's goods, and the preparation of a series of holiday gifts make the flow of people on the street more crowded.

The Zen throne is a matter in the court, who will be the emperor at least for the time being, at least for the time being, there is no impact on the ordinary people, after a few days of heated discussions, the people of the capital have returned to their former calm and colorful life.

Yang Yi returned home from the next dynasty, and the house was also lit up, and there was a bit of a New Year's atmosphere, seeing him come back, Li Xiangxian hurriedly came over to help him change into his court clothes; The court dress of the Great Song Dynasty is Zhu Yi Zhu Shang, the inside is a white Luo Zhongdan, the outer is tied with a large belt, and there is a crimson Luo material to cover the knees, and the body is hung with brocade ribbons, jade pendants, jade chuan, white silk socks, and black leather shoes.

The style of this court dress is unified, and the level of official positions is distinguished by the difference in collocation. The presence or absence of Zen clothes (middle single) and the change of brocade ribbon pattern often indicate the level of official position.

When wearing court clothes, you must wear the Jinxian crown (a kind of lacquered beam crown hat), the Diao Chan crown (also known as the "cage scarf", which is a crown hat made of rattan silk and painted on it), and the badger crown (belonging to the category of Jinxian crown).

According to the different grades of officials, the number of beams and decorative materials of the crown are different, and the Jinxian crown developed from the five beams, three beams, two beams and three in the early Song Dynasty to Yuanfeng and Zhenghe, which were divided into seven, six, five, four, three, two and six and so on.

The first class is seven beams plus a sable scarf, the second class is six beams without a scarf, and so on, the fewer the number of beams, the smaller the official position. The crown is decorated with gold, silver, tortoiseshell, jade, etc., and the official products decorated with different materials are different.

Second, the pattern of the brocade ribbon is different. The brocade ribbon is the decoration of the brocade weaving and hanging on the waist, and the pattern has the world's music halo, miscellaneous flower halo, Fang Shengguan man, green hair, cluster four plate carving, yellow lion, Fang Sheng Lian Magpie and the green lotus used in the imperial history. There are as many as 19 kinds of brocade ribbons for court clothes, which are used to distinguish official products.

At the same time, the clothing belt is also a difference, the Taiping Xingguo seven years (982 years) stipulated: the third grade or more jade belt, the fourth grade or more gold belt, the fifth and sixth grade silver gilded belt, the seventh grade or more of the non-staff and internal military attachΓ© uniform silver belt, the eighth grade, the ninth grade or more of the silver belt, the remaining official uniform silver square regiment and rhinoceros horn belt, the tribute and Xu officials, industry and commerce, and the common people wear the iron horn belt, and the gifter is not in this case.

When officials went to court, there were also rules for hairpins and white pens and wat boards. The system of the hairpin white pen is to use the white pen on the crown, the bamboo is the pen stem, wrapped in the scarlet, the silk is used as a millimeter, and the silver wisp leaves are extended and inserted behind the crown.

Originally, the hairpin pen was used to play the unjudicial officials, and when you see a lawbreaker, you can immediately start writing a report, and in the Song Dynasty, it has evolved into a status symbol of civil officials above the seventh grade.

The same goes for wat boards. The high-ranking officials in the scarlet robe used ivory wats, and the low-ranking officials in green robes made wat boards with acacia wood. The shape of the wat board was short and thick at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, and became very large and thin during the emperor's reign, and its shape also bent slightly from straight to backward.

There is also a fish bag, the fish bag is worn on the official uniform with gold and silver ornaments in the shape of a fish, tied between the leather belts and hung behind, used to distinguish the noble from the low.

Yang Yi has made a lot of contributions, so he also has to give a goldfish bag. Yang Yi didn't take these things seriously, but Li Xiangxian didn't dare to be careless at all, and after serving the court, she found an iron and ironed the court clothes again.

At this time, the iron was made of copper, like a water scoop, and burning charcoal was put in it, which could be used to iron clothes, Yang Yi saw that Li Xiangxian was skillful, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xian'er, have you learned this?" ”

Li Xiangxian didn't dare to raise her head, looking cautious, and only heard her reply: "Yang Lang, don't interrupt, you take a break and drink tea first, and wait for the concubine to iron her clothes." ”

Yang Yi smiled and said, "Xian'er, you also set up a score?" Be careful I spank you. ”

Li Xiangxian was helpless, so he had to stop and explain: "Yang Lang doesn't know, this court dress is made of silk, and it will be burned if you are not careful." ”

Yang Yi took a look, the copper iron was added with coal, the temperature was too high, and the silk fabric used for ironing was indeed as Li Xiangxian said, and the silk cloth would be burned if he was not careful.

He thought for a moment and said: "Xian'er, what's so difficult about this, let me tell you, let people order a ceramic iron, the material is thinner, make a small opening on it, pour hot water into it, and use this iron to iron the silk fabric clothes, and you will no longer have to worry about burning the clothes." ”

Li Xiangxian understood it immediately, nodded happily, and did not forget to joke with him: "Or Yang Lang has a way, Yang Lang, is it possible that you have also learned to iron clothes?" ”

Yang Yi smiled incomprehensibly: "Many things are not necessarily experienced by you, I once dreamed of an immortal, and he told me a word. ”

"What?" Li Xiangxian asked curiously.

"The immortals said: There are many people who have suffering, but few of them can make suffering valuable, what you need to do is to take their suffering as your own, and then put it on a high level to sublimate, you have to remember that the key is not whether you experience it yourself, but whether you experience it with your heart."

"Yang Lang ......" After listening to Yang Yi's words, Li Xiangxian shook a lot and was stunned.

Although I have not ironed the clothes myself, I have experienced the difficulty of ironing with my heart, and I have improved the iron, which is a kind of sublimation after my heartfelt experience; Hahaha, maybe this will become the greatest invention of the first year of Guardian, and in the future, all the women of the Great Song Dynasty will thank me, and even many people may be excited to make a personal promise. ”

The more Yang Daguan blows, the more outrageous it becomes, Li Xiangxian comes back from his thoughts, and can't help but roll his eyes. At this time, the voice of Thirteen Niang came from outside the door: "Official, who wants to promise you again?" ”

Yang Daguan was startled, and hurriedly went up to help her sit down, and said with a smile: "Lady, please sit down, lady, you heard it wrong, no one promises to each other, absolutely not, official, I was discussing the matter of ironing with Xian'er just now, Xian'er was thinking about it, and suddenly thought of using ceramics to make an iron, which is filled with hot water to iron silk clothes, so that it will not burn the clothes, lady, don't you like these the most, you discuss with Xian'er first, I still have something to do, official." ”

Yang Daguan just wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but he heard Thirteen Niang shouting: "Slow official, where are you going?" ”

It's the other way around! It's the other way around! I dare to use such a commanding tone against me...... Leave impossibility.

Yang Daguan's soul was rushing outward, but the toes that poked out of the threshold had to be carefully retracted. He was very sure that he was sticking out of his left foot, he hated this left foot, why couldn't he keep up with the speed of his soul?

"I wonder what the lady commands?"

Thirteen Niang also rolled her eyes at him, ignored him, and turned her head to discuss the iron with Li Xiangxian.

It's so arrogant! It's so arrogant! Yang Daguan decided...... Honestly wait.

The two delicate beauties held an academic seminar on the improvement of irons, and then held a tea party, during which there were also clothing exhibitions, beauty contests or something, and Yang Daguan decided to wait and study reading glasses immediately.

Finally, the beautiful, demonic, and proud Thirteen Niang began to tell him about business.

"Official, my mother-in-law mentioned it to the concubine today, saying that she wants to go back to her hometown Hangzhou for the New Year this year, official, do you see ......"

"What do you mean, lady?"

In fact, the Yang family in Hangzhou has no relatives and friends, and now the family is in the capital, and Yang Yi doesn't care too much about whether he can return to his hometown for the New Year.

"What can a concubine mean? Naturally, everything is subject to the arrangement of the mother-in-law, and the concubine asks this, but she wants to know if you can go back together, if you can't get out, the official, you can accompany the mother-in-law back with the concubine. ”

"That's not good, it's not good for the Chinese New Year, it's not good for the family to be divided into two places, and I don't have anything special, it's not a problem to accompany my mother back to Hangzhou."

The old man misses his hometown, this is human nature, Yang Yi didn't think much about it, so he decided to take advantage of the annual vacation to accompany Yang back to Hangzhou.
