Chapter 1,216 Court Clothes

Shao Bowen said: "I asked my father afterward, and he said that my reasoning was correct. However, in the You period in winter, it is the time to chop firewood for cooking, not farming, so it is definitely an axe."

"If you only deduce according to the hexagrams without considering the facts, you will not get the truth. My father said at that time, 'It is impossible to deduce numbers without reasoning'. I will always remember this lesson."

"So the same hexagram predicts different things under different circumstances."

After speaking, he stared at Liang Yiduo and said: "I and the temple minister went out for your country's affairs, and we met two birds competing for plum blossoms to predict. Therefore, this hexagram is definitely not about a girl falling in love, but it is a major event in Xixia!"

"Bang!" Liang Yiduo was so frightened that he swept all the tea cups on the table to the ground: "This, this... there is no big event in our Xia Kingdom..."

"Really?" Shao Bowen said, "Then let me explain it."

"Similarly, two birds compete for branches and fall to the ground. The omen is still unlucky."

"Use the hexagrams to analyze: Ze Huo Le, Dui means missing, Li means Fire and Sun, that is, the time when the sun is lacking, Dui means stars and moon, so things still happen at night;"

"The separation is the flower, the mutual connection is the flowers and trees, the stem is the circle and it is the garden, and together they are the garden. But the object of divination has changed. This place should no longer be a garden, but... a palace!"

"Dui is originally a young girl, but I shouldn't use this explanation here. Instead, she should be... a young man who is too old to be strong!"

"Xunmu is damaged by Qianjin, and it is destroyed by Dui. Therefore, this is a sign that you will be destroyed."

"Qian is the person who controls the flowers and trees. In the old hexagram, he is the gardener who manages the flowers and trees. But here, it should be interpreted as the person who guards the palace. The one who presses the young master is the palace guard!"

"Xun is the stock, and the wood of the sunda is suppressed by Qian Metal. The old hexagram means that the girl's stock is broken. However, here, it is the minister who broke the stock and the humerus of the young gentleman!"

"Your envoy, there is something going on in the Western Xia palace. The young king has suffered a setback, and the ministers he relies on are already unlucky, so we asked your envoy to come to congratulate Zhengdan, right?"

Liang Yiduo's face turned pale with fright, and his whole body was trembling: "No... no... you, you... are you a human or a ghost..."

Shao Bowen smiled slightly: "Similarly, it is impossible to deduce numbers without reasoning. Xia State sent your envoy here, which means Liang has mastered the overall situation."

"Fortunately, the Xian hexagram was changed. The lower hexagram of Xian is Gen, which is earth. If you mix it with gold, the girl will be born in this earth. Although she will be injured, it will not be a serious disaster."

"The time at that time was the Lingshen time in December, and the Dui hexagram was full of energy, while the Xunli hexagram was dormant, which shows that the femur was broken during the Shen time in winter, but the king's life was not in danger."

"Well, if the word "que" is broken down, one means "younger" and refers to the Lord of Xia. The other means "better" and refers to the beautiful woman. That is the queen... No, the queen should not have such power, but she is the opposite of young... The queen mother! It should refer to the noble. Go to the Queen Mother!"

"Two birds quarreling means that the queen mother of your country and the young king have a dispute... and then return to the image of the garden, or the king is imprisoned in a garden..."

"...It's still wrong. I've never heard of any gardens in your country. It should be a place surrounded by wood or forest... a wooden village?"

"Huh!" Liang Yiduobi overturned his chair, got up in embarrassment, and shouted in a stern tone: "There is no such thing! Si Cheng, you are slandering our court, I want... I want to go to the Emperor of Song Dynasty. Go reason with me!"

Shao Bowen didn't take it seriously and said gently: "Your envoy, we cannot hide important national affairs. If your envoy knows, it is better to tell the truth. Otherwise, it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor and affect the relationship between the two countries."

This is a big deal."

Liang Yiduo was furious and said, "You are a child with a yellow mouth and you are talking nonsense. When I left Xingqing Mansion, the court was quiet and there was no such thing!"

Cai Bian patted the armrest of the chair: "What I just said is not within the scope of Honglu Temple's responsibilities. The matter of seizing the throne is just a matter of my whim, and I ordered Shao Sicheng to do it at will."

"Since your envoy has denied it, let's give it up. We will just report what your envoy said to His Majesty."

He stood up and said, "But your envoy had better send someone back to Xixia to confirm the news. If anything happens, I believe my border officials will report it soon."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment: "By the way, someone will come to guide your envoy on court etiquette tomorrow. The way you are acting now really makes me worry that you will lose your etiquette..."

Liang Yiduo's face was pale, his fingers were still trembling slightly, and he couldn't even speak.

Cai Bian smiled slightly: "Then please take care of yourself. There is no need to give it away."

The two most beautiful men in the Song Dynasty left in such a graceful manner.

The Xia people who left the station full of people, you look at me and I look at you, you can see the look of shock and horror on the other person's face.

After leaving the post house, Cai Bian revealed his shocked expression: "Ziwen, I asked you to make a prediction before I came here. You only said it should be in Xixia. Are those just true?"

Shao Bowen smiled and said: "Divination is about predicting unknown things. For those things in the future, divination itself is a variable."

"As for those that have already happened but are unknown, you can find out if you inquire about them. The effect is actually the same."

"I was just testing Ambassador Xia just now, but the more I test, the more confident I become, the more information I get, and the more I dare to say."

Cai Bian stopped: "Ziwen, I have a good word of advice."

Shao Bowen also stopped: "Sir, please speak."

Cai Bian said: "Now that you have entered the court, it is best to put away your ability to seize the wind and cut off the situation, and be careful of others taking advantage of you."

"You have the talent to govern, so you must not attract your Majesty's attention and ruin your future."

Shao Bowen nodded: "Thank you, sir, for your advice. I apologize for the nonsense. People who don't understand think that they can win by lying in bed every day. They ignore the premise that 'things happen according to the situation, and it depends on man's actions'. This has already conflicted with the original intention of Zhan Duan."

"Fu Guogong never listened to what I said. He said that he didn't care about his personal future, but the future of the nation cannot be changed by seizing power."

Cai Bian smiled and said: "The Duke of Fu is a sensible man."

Shao Bowen also laughed and said, "I just don't know how he will pass the Great Court Meeting."

…

The days were so busy and boring. Su You rehearsed until the 27th of the twelfth lunar month before the officials of Honglu Temple expressed their satisfaction.

However, the matter is not over yet. Today, officials from Taichang Temple and the Buddhist Relics Library came again, and they wanted to review the clothing for the last time.

There are two sets of costumes, one is the court dress, which is the dress used for formal ceremonies at the court.

One set is public clothes, that is, regular clothes, used for banquets after court meetings.

This is not the highest level of clothing, the higher level is sacrificial clothing.

The court uniform is named after the crown, but it is actually a complete set. Su You's suit is called the Jinxian crown, plus red clothes and Zhushang.

Jinxian originally had a five-beam crown, a forehead painted with gold and silver flowers, a rhinoceros, a tortoiseshell hairpin for the guide, and a pen. He had a robe of Fei Luo, a white flower Luo in the middle, a skirt of Fei Luo, covering the knees with Fei Luo, and a soap lining, a large white Luo belt, and a white robe.

Luo Fang's heart-shaped collar, jade sword, pendant, silver leather belt, halo brocade ribbon, two jade rings, white damask socks, and soap leather shoes.

Those of the first and second grades who serve in the ancestral hall and attend meetings will wear it, and those who serve under the Zhongshu family will wear a crown and a cage scarf, Diao Chan.

However, Zhao Xu was not short of money now and wanted to refine the etiquette system, so this year he further subdivided the levels.

The Diao Chan cage scarf has a seven-beam crown, and the world is delighted with the brocade ribbon. It is the first class.

The cicada used to be a butterfly carved from tortoise shell, but later it was changed to a golden cicada. After the surrender of the South China Sea, there were more tortoise shells, so this time it was changed to a tortoise shell.

Su You is a first-grade man with nine cicadas in total. Because he is a civil servant and a minister of "Serving the Left", he is hung with Zuo'er.

This is the first-class clothing, which can only be worn by prime ministers, princes, envoys, three masters, and three princes.

The second grade is a seven-beam crown with mixed flowers and brocade ribbon. It is worn by the privy envoys and is known to the privy council and the crown prince.

So Su You became a special case again. Logically speaking, he is now a first-class Duke, so he should be the first class. However, he is leading the special department of the Military Aircraft Department. He is neither a Zhongshu nor a military governor.

I know that a minister like Privy Council is neither the Third Master nor the Three Dukes. He is said to be the first class, but I feel that it is a little bit worse.

However, compared to the Privy Councilor, the second class, which can only be worn by the Privy Councilor to the Crown Prince and Taibao, is obviously a bit higher.

Moreover, Su You also had Guo Kui under his command. This old man once "served as a privy council member and went out of the general army." It was from him that he started the post of privy council officer. If Su You's rank was lower than him, then

It just doesn't make sense.

This matter is a national matter and cannot be taken carelessly. Brother Lao asked someone to send Su You's court uniform: "For the color of your uniform, I specifically asked your Majesty for instructions. His Majesty ordered you to still wear first-class clothing, but to lead military aircraft, only

The brocade ribbon is made of a first-class lion newly imported from Shuzhou to play with the magpie brocade to show the difference."

"From now on, all the chief officers of the military aircraft department will follow this example. Mingrun, please don't forget to write a thank you note."
