It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

The red rose is Lady Hongfen and the white rose is Li Qingluan.

As the queen, Lady Hongfen's festive dress was impeccable.

Moreover, she always wore red clothes and no one found it strange.

However, the Right Queen Li Qingluan,

She was wearing a long white dress that dragged on the ground, which was eye-catching.

Short-sleeved off-shoulder layered gauze skirt,
Silk gloves that reach to the elbows,
A small white hat with a veil covering the tip of the nose.
It is decorated like Snow White covered in silver.

Li Qingluan, who is at the Heavenly Venerate level, is not afraid of the cold at all.

Such strange clothes,

The titanium alloy eyes instantly blinded all the civil and military officials.

As the queen who rules the country, wearing this dress,
Attending the annual court ceremony was truly shocking!
What followed was whispers and discussions.

Lu Yuan naturally knew that this scene would definitely happen.
He did not explain or stop, but sat down calmly.
Lady Hongfen followed suit and sat on the left side of her husband.

Li Qingluan turned and sat down to Lu Yuan's right.

All the officials and ministers saw it with astonishment.

The back of the Queen’s peculiar dress on the right is actually a “deep V” shape.

Bare shoulders and back... Too undignified, isn't it?!

Lu Yuan looked at the ceremonial officer in the hall.

According to the procedure, these guys should pay homage to the two queens.

The ceremonial officer was startled and sang: "Greetings to the left and right queens!"

All the officials came to their senses, bowed and shouted:
"Queen of the Left, Queen of the Right, live a thousand years, live a thousand years, live a thousand thousand years!"

Lady Hongfen and Li Qingluan waved their hands at the same time: "No need to be polite!"

All officials stood up and took their seats.

Finally, someone couldn't help it and stood up to remind Li Qingluan.

"The Queen's attire is too abrupt and inappropriate!
I beg the Right Queen to quickly leave and change her clothes."

Everyone was wondering, who does this tough guy work for?
Take a closer look,
Wow, it turns out to be the “Desperate Ambassador”, Jeon Myeong-hyun.

Because, when he went to Hamgyong Province alone,
Among the tens of thousands of refugees who could burst out at any time,
Under the butcher knife of the murderous devil, Nurhaci,
He remained calm and fearless, and was not afraid of life or death, so he got this nickname.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan praised him highly and transferred him back to Incheon to serve as the Minister of Dali Temple.

During this period, Quan Mingxian worked day and night.

He handled many old cases and can be described as being upright and incorruptible.

I never expected that the first time I went to court in the new year,
This kid actually started with the right queen.

Even Quan Douyang, who is known as the "mad dog", would not dare to be so reckless.

All the officials looked at Lu Yuan and Li Qingluan.

Now, it depends on how the king handles it.
Is it to accept advice humbly and correct mistakes in a timely manner?

Or should he rain down thunder and reprimand the daring minister?

Li Qingluan remained calm and sat upright.

Lu Yuan nodded slightly and looked at Quan Mingxian who came out.

Suddenly he asked, "Mr. Quan, does the Right Queen's dress look good?"

Ok?
The whole audience was stunned.

This, what does this mean?
Some people speculated that the king might want to take advantage of the situation.

Find an excuse first, then deal with the "desperate ambassador"?
Quan Mingxian also didn't understand why, but, as the sage said: Do not look at what is not appropriate.

He bowed and said: "Your Majesty,
I am afraid of disrespecting the Right Queen, so I dare not look at it any further..."

Lu Yuan laughed and said, "Have you become stupid from reading so much?
The Queen of the Right is wearing a formal dress, how can this be considered blasphemous?"

Quan Mingxian blushed and calmed himself down.

He risked everything, not only for himself, but also to vindicate the books of sages.

So, without looking away, he spoke again:

"The queen is supposed to be the mother of the country. It is really inappropriate for her to attend the ceremony with bare shoulders and back..."

The personal eunuch immediately shouted angrily: "How dare you!"

Lu Yuan waved his hand and said, "You just need to answer, 'good-looking' or 'not good-looking'."

Quan Mingxian was forced into a corner, but he was upright and could not say anything against his conscience.

All I can say is: "My Lord, the dress is very beautiful!"

Lu Yuanchong asked the Minister of Rites, "What are the requirements for clothing for the ceremony?"

The Minister of Rites said: "Both men and women must wear formal attire."

Lu Yuan said to the personal eunuch, "Tell me about the dress."

The eunuch cleared his throat and said:
"The Queen is wearing a formal dress, which is the harem's formal dress number 16. It has been registered in the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

Although the Imperial Household Department is the palace steward, the outcome depends entirely on the king's words.

However, the king designated dress as formal wear, which was at least legal and compliant in terms of procedure.

Quan Mingxian's upright character doesn't mean he is stupid.

He could only prostrate himself: "I, your humble servant, was reckless and slandered the Right Queen. I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Lu Yuan waved his hand:

"Ignorance is not a crime. Considering that it is your first offense, you should reflect on your mistakes for three days after the court session."

Quan Mingxian got up and bowed to express his gratitude.

"Your Majesty, I am grateful for your kindness!"

Lu Yuan smiled faintly and said: "I heard that five hundred years ago,

Women in the Lilong Dynasty considered fat to be beautiful. Do you think that is really beautiful?"

Everyone was stunned again.

Why are we talking about the Li Long Dynasty?
Soon, someone smart guessed,
During the Lilong Dynasty, women's clothing styles

Very bold, the most fashionable is low-cut dress, the lower the better.

Of course, some people in later generations believed that
That’s because Li Long is of Hu descent and likes “Hu style”.

But, no matter what,
According to historical records, the Li Long Dynasty was the orthodox dynasty of China.

From this perspective, the Right Queen's dress is much more conservative than "Li Longfeng".

Unconsciously, the mentality of many officials has adjusted.

how to say?

The King of Chu had such a thin waist that many people died of starvation in the palace.

The king likes it, and as long as it does not violate the principles, it is okay for his subjects to meddle in other people's affairs.

As a result, there is less gossip that can be heard by the naked ear.

Li Qingluan's heart, which had been in a knot, finally settled back into her stomach.

She was very satisfied with her husband's intention.

At least, today she won by surprise and overshadowed Lady Hongfen.

There is no woman who is not jealous.

What's more, they are all queens, and even if they don't say it openly, they all have their own little thoughts in secret.

Back to the topic, the official agenda of the New Year's Day ceremony began.

The first item is to establish a new country name.

Lu Yuan decided on "China", which gained an unusual consensus among the government and the public in Goryeo.

The Goryeo court and even the palace cities were all modeled after the Chinese template.

If it could be called "China", Koreans would wake up laughing in their dreams.

The second item is the national flag of the People's Republic of China.

Lu Yuan didn't think too much about it and simply used the five spiritual elements of "gold, wood, water, fire and earth" as his banner.

Gold is white, wood is blue, water is black, fire is red, and earth is yellow.

Lu Yuan divided each spiritual power into a color band according to the ascending and descending order of "fire, earth, metal, wood, and water".

In fact, Shenling and Goryeo did not have national flags before.

Of course, the military has flags.

But, that is just the personal title of a general, or the flag of a group.

Lu Yuan can be said to have set a historical precedent.

The advantage of the national flag is that it is highly recognizable, consolidates national consciousness and enhances the sense of collective honor.

In short, there are only benefits and no harm.

This proposal did not cause any controversy and was passed unanimously.

why?
Because this is a world of spiritual power.

Practitioners are respected!

The five elements of spiritual power and the five colors are clear, what is there to be controversial about?
Moreover, the king has entered the realm of true immortality, where the five spirits are friendly.

He is one of the most powerful people in the world.
Isn't it natural to like the five elements?

Lu Yuan struck while the iron was hot and led all officials in holding a flag-raising ceremony.

The national flag has been prepared long ago.

If you have something important to ask, aren't you afraid of failing?
This is a bit funny.
Lu Yuan built the kingdom with his own hands.

He delegated power to all officials, benefited the people, and enjoyed an extremely high reputation.

Who dares to cause trouble with the national symbol? Do you really think tigers are vegetarians?

Under the tall flagpole, Lu Yuan raised it himself.
When I saw the first Chinese national flag, I felt a strong sense of pride.

His career, like this flag,
Rising higher and higher, it floats forever under the sky.

Every official, including the seven directors of Jeju, saluted the national flag.

Gradually, many people thought that the Chinese nation created by Lu Yuan would definitely dominate the world.

At that time, everyone will rise with the tide and become witnesses of a powerful empire.

The flag-raising ceremony was over, and the grand court meeting was basically halfway through.

Next, each department reported on its work.

The Ministry of Revenue mainly highlighted Jeju Free Trade Island, which has a bright future.

The Ministry of War claimed that the Chinese army's military strength and equipment were far ahead.

The Ministry of Justice emphasized that since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the people have been simple and honest, and no one picks up lost items on the streets.

The Ministry of Personnel shamelessly took away half of the credit from the Censorate.
They claimed to conduct self-inspection and self-correction and severely crack down on illegal officials.

The Ministry of Rites claimed that it was vigorously building schools.

Private schools will be further liberalized and supported, and education will be encouraged. The situation is promising.

The Ministry of Industry took the lead in self-examination.
It indicates that management will be strengthened to put an end to the reckless approach of "more, faster, better, cheaper".

Everyone understands that the ironclad warship dock accident

The king arrived at the first opportunity, and there must be an explanation for this matter.

Lu Yuan nodded and said:

“Remember the past and learn from it for the future.

Everyone makes mistakes, including me.

It's not scary to make mistakes, just correct them.

The most frightening thing is that after making a mistake, people don’t admit it, but instead try every possible means to cover it up.

What is even more terrifying is confusing right and wrong and treating bad things as good things. Such people should be killed!"

All the officials bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise! I am terrified!"

Lu Yuan continued with a slightly sarcastic tone:
"Look, you are wise when you open your mouth and wise when you close your mouth. You are all people who know how to protect yourselves!"

All the officials were sweating profusely and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Lu Yuan smiled at Quan Mingxian and said:
"Of course, it's good to have someone like Quan Qing who dares to speak out and make direct criticisms. You should learn from him."

Under the concentrated fire of hundreds of officials, Quan Mingxian suddenly felt embarrassed.

But at the same time, I admire the king even more.

Lu Yuan said again: "Today is New Year's Day.

I don’t ask you to be reborn, but I have something to ask of you.”

The officials bowed again and said, "Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty!"

“Questioning is everyone’s right and the only way to progress…

Just because someone made a suggestion, you can't assume that they have ulterior motives...

You may not agree with the other person's point of view, but you must defend the other person's right to speak...

From now on, there will be no such thing as being punished for speech in China...

Even if someone points at my nose and scolds me, even if the scolding is wrong, it is reasonable and legal...

Now that I am the king of this country, I must be responsible for every citizen...

The sage said: If the people can do it, let them follow it; if they cannot do it, let them know it…

If a villager is at fault, the village head should be investigated first; if a county magistrate is at fault, the prefect should be held accountable…

If there is further suppression of dissidents,
All of them will be dismissed from their posts and handed over to the judiciary, and the Censorate will follow up and supervise the case.

This is a permanent rule!"

The magnificent words echoed in Gyeongbokgung Palace like the sound of a huge bell.

Many people were caught off guard and froze on the spot for a moment.

OMG!

This is too exaggerated!

Is it okay to point at the king's nose and scold him?

This relationship of king-ruler, minister-minister, father-father, son-son...can we go on with this?
However, the new generation is very excited.

The king's order is equivalent to removing the shackles from their heads.

They no longer have to worry about any high-ranking officials or dignitaries!

"Your Majesty is benevolent! We are so lucky! All the people are so lucky! It is a great luck for the country!"

Those idiots shouted along in a daze.

Lu Yuan waved his hand and said:
"It's not as exaggerated as you say.

It's nothing more than 'listen to both sides and you will be enlightened, listen to only one side and you will be confused'.

Remember, when only one voice was allowed in the court,

Destruction can come at any time, don't say I didn't warn you! "

Everyone was horrified, and many knowledgeable people understood that
Their king does not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.

The king and two queens returned to the palace, and the New Year's Day court meeting concluded successfully.

When the court was dismissed, all the officials went in twos and threes.

Some were full of confidence, some were shocked, and others looked around.

On the first day of its founding, the People's Republic of China showed its extraordinary aura.

The court is about to usher in new changes.
The ups and downs of officialdom are like rowing against the current; if you don’t move forward, you will move backward.

Yan Nantian and six directors were the last group to leave the palace.

Yan Nantian smiled and said, "Gentlemen, how about the New Year's Day ceremony?"

Someone said with emotion: "It is really a wake-up call and a revelation!"

Someone said: "With such a great leader, China will surely unify the world!"

Yan Nantian laughed and said, "Isn't it wonderful to be born in a prosperous era? Let's go and have a drink!"

There is no doubt that the impact of the grand court meeting will spread across China and even beyond its borders.

However, what no one expected was that, first and foremost, the new palace dresses would become an instant hit.

There were many masters of painting among the officials, such as the chief academician of the Hanlin Academy, Tang Dacaizi.

Soon, pictures of ladies in wedding dresses spread rapidly.

Subsequently, new dress styles appeared in many clothing stores.

There is even a special term for it: right-back Chinese clothing.

The wives of the rich and powerful families eagerly placed orders.
This resulted in an extreme shortage of gauze in Incheon city, which was more expensive than silk.

There are many tailors who, based on this style,

We developed many unique styles and our business is booming.

Because in the national flag, the metal element is defined as white.
Therefore, white clothing is no longer simply considered mourning clothing.

In addition to the popularity of wedding dresses, the new Chinese national flag has also become a new favorite among merchants.

No matter whether they are big shops or small vendors, they are all engaged in their own business.

Planting a national flag shows that you are the citizen of a great country.

Lu Yuan intentionally promoted this matter.

Also, after the country's name and national flag were decided, he began to promote the national anthem.

The Trinity is king.

However, this time, he did not make a dictatorial decision on his own, but asked the Ministry of Rites to collect information from all over the country.

Soon, this news caused heated discussions in Incheon and the peninsula.

"Have you heard? The imperial court is collecting national anthems..."

"What? What's the national anthem?"

"Hey, you don't even know the national anthem? It's the song that specifically represents the country of China... like the national flag!"

"I know. I heard that the king will give a reward to the selected song!"

"Ah, there's a bounty...how much?"

"How much? Hehe, I'll scare you to death if I tell you. It's a full 10,000 taels of silver!"

"Wow! Ten thousand taels is enough for ten lifetimes..."

"Then I have to go back and think about it carefully. Maybe I can write a poem to get a reward..."

"Haha! Then you might as well go back and dream. Dreams contain all kinds of things..."

When Zhao Qiaoer learned that Lu Yuan offered a reward of 10,000 gold for the national anthem, she thought it was outrageous.

"My king, it's not that I'm reluctant, but isn't this reward too high?"

Lu Yuan laughed up to the sky and said:
"You don't understand, this is called 'a thousand gold horse bones'.
I have saved dozens or even hundreds of times on advertising alone!"

"What advertising fee?"

"The cost of publicizing it. Just tell me, is this news tempting?"

Zhao Qiaoer seemed to understand:
"Of course, 10,000 taels... Even I'm tempted..."

Lu Yuan said: "So, those who have real skills,

They will understand that I am willing to spend money, and they will gradually come to my side. "

Zhao Qiaoer then realized that soliciting the national anthem was just a name.
In fact, Lu Yuan was planning to recruit talents from all over the world.

No wonder they say he saved on advertising costs.

However, when she saw Lu Yuan changed into civilian clothes, she asked curiously:

"Are you leaving the palace?"

"Ok?"

"Where are you going?"

Lu Yuan smiled mysteriously: "My friend is celebrating his new home, I have to go and ask for a glass of wine!" (End of this chapter)
