Chapter 657: Paint the Color

"Now, we can map the territory of Heaven in the color of my Ming." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

The descendants of Yan and Huang became queens in Heaven and controlled Heaven. There are still many Chinese bloodlines left in Tianfang, and Mingjiao also has many Chinese cultural elements, so Tianfang can already be regarded as a Chinese nation.

The current Tianfang is the same as Goryeo and Wa, although it has not been officially included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but it will be sooner or later.

"Your Majesty, on the world map drawn by Mr. Qin, a variety of different colors are used to smear on the territory of different countries to distinguish each country. That is, each country has its own national color. Liu Bowen said, "In the previous world map, Mr. Qin did not color my Ming Dynasty. ”

"Then may I ask Your Majesty, what color should be used to smear my Ming Dynasty territory in order to show the national prestige of my Ming Dynasty and the conduct of my descendants of Yan and Huang?"

"What color to use to paint the Ming territory on the map is an extremely serious matter." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Because this color not only represents my Ming Dynasty, but also represents the Han family, the descendants of Yan and Huang." ”

"It's even about the national fortune of our Ming Dynasty!"

"The stakes are high, and you can't pick one color at random."

"The Emperor Shengming!" Li Shanchang said, "This color represents all the descendants of Yan and Huang, and represents our entire Han family. Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious when choosing. ”

"What Li Xiang said is reasonable!"

"You have to be careful!"

"The minister also believes that colors must not be chosen randomly."

……

When the ministers heard this, they said one after another.

"Since everyone thinks that choosing colors is more important, then according to your understanding, express their opinions and speak freely. Discuss what colors to use. Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that red should be used." A scholar named Tang Feng stood out of the train and said, "Red, it belongs to fire." The Hu Yuan Dynasty belonged to gold, and the fire conquered gold, while the Ming Dynasty belonged to fire. Therefore, the minister felt that smearing the Ming territory with a bright red color was in line with my Ming national fortune. ”

"In addition, the red color is bright and easy to distinguish from other colors. Use red, the borders of the Ming Territory and neighboring countries are clear at a glance"

"Third, red also represents festivity, auspiciousness, and auspiciousness."

"What Master Tang said is reasonable!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

As soon as Tang Feng's words fell, he immediately attracted the seconding of many courtiers.

They all feel that they can use red to represent the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate to be red!" However, at this time, Liu Bowen stood up and said, "First, Lord Tang just said that Hu Yuan belongs to gold, and the Ming Dynasty belongs to fire, which is in response to fire and gold. ”

"The minister thinks this is very inappropriate."

"What's wrong?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Fire is gold, but at the same time water is golden. That is to say, if there is a water one day, will it be necessary to defeat the Ming Dynasty? Liu Bowen said, "After the Ming Dynasty established the country with Taoism, it will continue for thousands of generations, and the national fortune will be forever, and it will never be overcome by any of the five elements." Therefore, to choose colors for the Ming Dynasty, you must not use the Five Elements Theory. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression froze when he heard this, stared at Tang Feng, and said coldly: "You chose red to represent Da Ming, does it indicate that one day in the future, Da Ming will be destroyed by water!?" ”

"Tang Feng, what are you?"

"Minister, the minister has no such intention, I hope Your Majesty will know it!" When Tang Feng heard this, he was immediately frightened, knelt down for Zhu Yuanzhang, kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, and his whole body was already soaked with sweat.

"All dynasties paid attention to the five elements of national fortune." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "It is precisely because they used the Five Elements of National Fortune that the dynasty perished in less than three hundred years, because each of the five elements has its five elements." ”

"And the Ming Dynasty wants the country to be forever, so it must transcend the five elements."

"Besides, there is a second reason why you can't use red." Liu Bowen said slowly, "Although red represents festivity in many cases, such as marriage day, when the gold list is inscribed. ”

"But the joy of the wedding and the title of the gold list does not represent the descendants of Yan and Huang."

In addition, in addition to a little festivity, red is more of a symbol of ominous and bloody, killing, and a complete omen of great evil. Throughout history, whenever there is a big red blood color in the astrology, it represents a great bad luck. ”

"So it's not so much good luck as red as it is blood and killing."

"I, the descendants of Yan and Huang, should not be immersed in killing, killing, and hatred all day long, and make myself look like a bullied person. Isn't it good for the people to live and work in peace and contentment and live a happy and stable life? ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his brows furrowed into Sichuan characters, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes: "Come on, drag Tang Feng out and behead him!" This person's suggestion almost harmed the Ming Dynasty and went astray. ”

"Yes!"

Soon, Tang Feng was dragged out.

"Berwyn, you are still highly educated and proficient in Yili, and you know that red is not suitable for Daming." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Since it's inappropriate to use red, what color should be used?" ”

"It should be khaki." Liu Bowen said.

"Is there anything special about yellow?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, my Huaxia has respected yellow, above all other colors." Liu Bowen said, "In ancient times, our ancestor Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, his real name was yellow. The Yellow Emperor has the soil of virtue, and the soil is yellow. Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor sowed grains, made clothes and crowns, built boats and cars, and created my Chinese civilization. ”

"And the people of this land of China also call themselves 'descendants of Yan and Huang'."

"So yellow is the natal color of my descendants of Yan and Huang, not red."

"What Lord Liu said is extremely true!" The ministers nodded one after another, and Li Shanchang said. "The minister seconded the proposal." Song Lian, Gao Qi, and Shi Nai'an, who are relatively knowledgeable, also stood up and seconded the proposal.

Liu Bowen is talking about China's own culture, which is also where the national fortune of this land lies.

If you choose the wrong color, it will deviate the fortunes of the country. The emperor and the queen of the earth, the rivers and mountains did not agree.

"In addition, the soil is virtuous, and the virtue is full of things, giving birth to all things. Such characteristics are in line with our Yanhuang nation, which has a profound heritage of 5,000 years. Liu Bowen continued, "It shows that my Chinese civilization will be like the earth, inclusive of all things. ”

"Like the earth, it can carry all the weights."

"Earthy, the color of the earth,"

"It's the color that really belongs to me."

"It's suitable, smear my Ming territory."

"Earth, which holds all things, is yellow, centered, and will not be overcome by any of the five elements."

"Good!" When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he clapped his hands.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

When the ministers heard this, they all agreed with Liu Bowen's statement.

"Someone, get the yellow dye." After the color scheme was decided, Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.
