After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 655 Coloring
"Now, we can map the territory of Tianfang with the color of my Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

The descendants of Yan and Huang became queens in Tianfang and took control of Tianfang.There are still many Chinese blood left in Tianfang, and Mingjiao also has many Chinese cultural elements, so Tianfang can already be regarded as the Chinese nation.

The current Tianfang is the same as Koryo and Wa. Although it has not been officially incorporated into the territory of Ming Dynasty, it will be a matter of time.

"Your Majesty, on the world map drawn by Mr. Qin, various colors are used to smear the territories of different countries to distinguish each country. That is to say, each country has its own 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 I paint on the territory of my Ming Dynasty, so as to demonstrate the national prestige of my Ming Dynasty and the moral integrity of my descendants?"

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

"It's even related to the national destiny of our Ming Dynasty!"

"The stakes are high, and you must not choose a color indiscriminately."

"The emperor is holy!" Li Shan said long, "This color represents all the descendants of Yan and Huang, and represents our entire Han family. Therefore, we must be careful when choosing it."

"Li Xiang is right!"

"You must be cautious!"

"I also believe that the color must not be chosen randomly."

……

When the ministers heard the words, they all said.

"Since everyone thinks that color selection is more important, let's express our views and speak freely based on your understanding. Discuss which color to use." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"The emperor said that red should be used." A scholar named Tang Feng stepped out of the queue and said, "Red belongs to fire. The Hu Yuan Dynasty belonged to gold, fire restrained gold, and the Ming Dynasty belonged to fire. Therefore I feel that painting the territory of the Ming Dynasty with the color of bright red is in line with the destiny of the Ming Dynasty."

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

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

"Scholar Tang is right!"

"My minister agrees!"

As soon as Tang Feng's words fell, many courtiers immediately seconded him.

They all feel that red can represent the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I think red is inappropriate!" However, at this time, Liu Bowen stood up and said, "First, Mr. Tang said just now that Hu Yuan belongs to gold, and the Ming Dynasty belongs to fire, which is exactly how fire conquers gold."

"The minister thinks this is very inappropriate."

"What's wrong?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Fire conquers metal, but at the same time it is conquered by water. That is to say, if one day there is a person belonging to water, will it conquer our Ming Dynasty?" Liu Bowen said, "After the Ming Dynasty established its country with Tao, it will definitely continue. For thousands of years, the fate of the country will last forever, and will never be restrained by any five elements. Therefore, the five elements theory must not be used to choose colors for the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression froze when he heard the words, he stared at Tang Feng, and said coldly: "You choose red to represent Daming, does it mean that one day in the future, Daming will be destroyed by water!?"

"Tang Feng, what is your intention?"

"My lord, my lord has absolutely no such intentions. I hope Your Majesty will learn from you!" Tang Feng was frightened when he heard this, and knelt down to Zhu Yuanzhang, kowtowing for mercy, his whole body drenched in sweat.

"The dynasties of all dynasties have paid attention to the five elements of the country." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "It is precisely because they used the five elements of the country that the dynasty perished in less than 300 years, because each of the five elements has its own five elements."

"And the Ming Dynasty wants the country's fate to last forever, so it must transcend the theory of the five elements."

"In addition, I have a second reason why you can't use red." Liu Bowen said slowly, "Although red often represents celebrations, such as marriage and wedding days, and when the gold list is named."

"But the occasional joy of marriage and titles on the gold list cannot represent the descendants of Yan and Huang."

"In addition, besides a little festive, red is more ominous and bloody, killing, which is completely a bad omen. Throughout history, whenever there is a big red blood in the astrology, it represents great ominousness."

"Therefore, rather than saying that red represents auspiciousness, it is better to say that it represents blood and killing."

"I, descendants of the Yellow Emperor, shouldn't be immersed in killing, killing, and hatred all day long, making myself look like someone who is being oppressed. Isn't it good for the common people to live and work in peace and contentment?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he heard the words, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes: "Come here, drag Tang Feng out and behead him! This person's suggestion almost caused the Ming Dynasty to go astray."

"According to the order!"

Soon, Tang Feng was dragged out.

"Berwen, you are highly educated and proficient in easy reasoning, so you know that red is not suitable for Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Since red is not appropriate, what color should we use?"

"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 Huangdi, his real name color was yellow. The Yellow Emperor has the auspiciousness of earth virtue. , the soil is yellow. Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor sowed five grains, made clothes and hats, built boats and carts to make music, and created our Chinese civilization."

"And the people in the land of Huaxia also call themselves 'Descendants of Yanhuang'."

"So yellow is the natal color of my Chinese descendants, not red."

"Master Liu is right!" All the ministers nodded, among them Li Shanchang said. "My minister seconded the proposal." Song Lian, Gao Qi, and Shi Naian, who were relatively well educated, also stood up and seconded the proposal.

What Liu Bowen talked about belongs to China's own culture, which is also the destiny of this land.

If you choose the wrong color, it will make the national fortune deviate.The emperor and the land, and the country and the country will not agree.

"Furthermore, the virtues of Tude carry all things and nurture all things. Such a characteristic is in line with our Yanhuang nation, which has a profound heritage of 5000 years." Liu Bowen continued, "It shows that our Chinese civilization will be like the earth, inclusive of all things. "

"Like the earth, it can bear all the weight."

"Orange, the color of the earth,"

"It is the color that really belongs to my China."

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

"Earth, contains all things, yellow, in the center, and will not be restrained by any of the five elements."

"Okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands when he heard the words.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

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

"Come here, bring the yellow dye." After the color scheme was finalized, Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.
