There is no need to ask the county king for a seal.
After listening to the words of the Seventeenth Mother, Zhang Yue woke up three points more and asked: "The fish is dressed like a fish, the husband is honored and the wife is honored. Isn't this what you and I want? How can I refuse it?"
According to the rules of the Song Dynasty, the wife of a fifth-rank official or above was granted a title by her mother.
Later it was expanded to include promotion to court officials.
When Renzong was in the southern suburbs for the last time, Zhang Yue had not yet been promoted to a court official, so he did not have a title.
As for the southern suburbs of the Yingzong Dynasty, although Zhang Yue was just qualified, he unfortunately was dismissed from office.
When Zhang Yue went to the southern suburbs for the first time today, it was the time when Zhang Yue was applying for a title for his wife. He thought that he would be granted a title at the age of twenty-four, and that the seventeenth mother would be granted the title of county king at the same age as him. What an honor it would be.
Seventeen Niang said: "Who wouldn't want to do this, Yu Xuan Xiangfu, but your husband will be treated as a young man. How many people in the court are jealous of you? If you ask for a title from the official for me again in the southern suburbs, how many people will be there?" The woman is going to be jealous of me. Look at how many people our husband and wife are jealous of. This is not a beautiful thing."
"So I think the officials can just give it to my father and mother first. As for me, I might as well wait until the next time in the southern suburbs."
Zhang Yue broke out in a cold sweat when he heard what Seventeenth Mother said. Yes, it was not a good thing to be promoted too quickly at such a young age.
My wife also uses this method to remind herself that at this time, she needs to be more cautious in her career.
Being in the limelight in official circles is never a good thing.
But this is too unfair to my wife.
Zhang Yue said: "But the other wives to be made are all county princes. If I don't do it, wouldn't it be..."
The Seventeenth Mother said: "Officer, you are young. If you don't do anything, others will only praise you for your modesty and resignation. Besides, your appointment is out of the official's intention, so you have to resign. If you resign, it means that the official has no sense." It is difficult for people to be wise enough to do the job. But I must not refuse to be the county king, otherwise others will say that we have no self-awareness."
Zhang Yue said: "That's the truth. It's just that you feel so wronged, madam."
Seventeen Niang sat next to Zhang Yue and said, "Isn't it true that an official has just said that a husband is valued and his wife is honored? As long as my family is an official in the future, even if I am not the county king, who in the world can look down on me?"
Zhang Yue looked at Qi Niang and said, "Madam, tell me why life is so unsatisfactory."
"I am a newlywed, and I want you to be a wife and a noble husband. You also know that I come from a poor family. When you and I were engaged, you were often gossiped by the women in Bianjing. Now that I am a noble person, Deep down in my heart, I just hope you can take this breath, so when I asked you just now, it actually relieved the depression in my heart back then."
When a person is young, he is looked down upon and looked down upon by others. This unpleasant memory can last a lifetime.
It’s not that you can’t let go in the future, but the most direct way to let go is if you succeed.
The Seventeenth Mother couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and looked at Zhang Yue frequently.
"What? Are you going to say that I, the official, am actually hiding my secrets? We have been married for so many years, and we still remember the things that happened for so long."
Seventeenth Mother shook her head and said, "I want to say that this is my official."
"If you fail the test, sir, I don't know if I will still decide to marry you. Although I understand that the officer is not happy for me to say this, I will still tell you frankly, because I am your wife, and husband and wife must be honest."
"Similarly, officials don't need to be a saint in front of me."
Zhang Yue nodded and said: "Thank you madam for your explanation, but I still can't let go of being alone."
"Is it Uncle Zhang?" Seventeen Niang guessed.
Zhang Yue nodded and said: "I have worked hard to study since I was a child, and I have never been looked down upon by him, but he still says no to me for what he did back then."
"I want to hear those words myself in the future when he really looks up to him."
…
In this way, Zhang Yue entered the palace from the Donghua Gate to express his gratitude, wearing a scarlet robe, a silver bag, long leather boots, and holding a wat board.
Many people have already heard the news about Zhang Yue's visit. Along the way, all the officials who met Zhang Yue bowed their hands and congratulated him.
He was the number one scholar at the age of seventeen, and he was ready to become an official at the age of twenty-four. He was already an important minister at such an age, which is really enviable.
Everyone was even more amazed when they saw Zhang Yue's attire. It turned out that when officials entered the palace, most of them wore shoes and wide robes with big sleeves. This was the orthodox attire of the Han family.
However, Zhang Yue's attire is refreshing. The long boots almost reach his knees, which is completely different from the shoes that only reach his ankles.
As for the Fei robe on Zhang Yue, the large sleeves are obviously narrowed.
This body with narrow sleeves and long boots is completely the style of a barbarian.
But I have to say that it looks really good-looking when worn on Zhang Yue, and Zhang Yue, who became an important minister at the age of twenty-four, is even more heroic.
After Zhang Yue passed by, many officials commented. Most of the officials who saw Zhang Yue's attire felt that he looked like a young man in the making, but some felt that Zhang Yue should not be like this.
However, there were no strict restrictions on the clothes of officials in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, and even the censor could not say anything about Zhang Yue's dress.
Zhang Yue first went to Hemen to get the book. The Hemen officials were so surprised when they saw Zhang Yue's attire that they almost dislocated their jaws. However, it must be said that Zhang Yue's attire indeed looked unparalleled, and it matched him well. The officials who passed through the door looked very depressed.
After Zhang Yue took the made book, he went straight to the steps of Chongzheng Hall. Zhang Yue went up the steps and placed the made book on the steps, and then performed a worship dance towards Chongzheng Hall.
The official family is not in the Chongzheng Hall at the moment, but according to the rules passed down from the Tang Dynasty, officials above the prime minister should go to the cage to express their gratitude after paying their respects.
To express gratitude to the cage gate means that you don’t have to see the emperor and bow down to the palace.
After the deputy envoys of the Third Division and above perform obeisance to their officials, they can go up the steps to do the obeisance. As for the officials below the Third Division, they do not need to dance to do the obeisance at the bottom of the steps.
After Zhang Yue paid homage to the Chongzheng Hall, he was led by the chamberlain to the official palace.
After Zhang Yue got the report, he went inside and saw Zeng Gongliang and Wang Anshi sitting in the hall discussing the affairs with the officials.
As for Zeng Gongliang, Wang Anshi couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Zhang Yue wearing long boots with narrow sleeves.
The most surprising thing was the officials.
After the monarch and his ministers saw each other, the officials asked Zhang Yue: "Why is Zhang Qing dressed like this?"
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, since the Northern Qi Dynasty, people have been wearing Hu clothes. The narrow sleeves are convenient for riding and shooting, and the long boots are convenient for crossing the grass."
"I once went out on business. It had just rained. When I passed by the grassland, my clothes and pants were all wet. However, several people in my company who were dressed in Hufu were not wet at all."
"Your Majesty wants to be a promising king. I can't help but think of the old days when King Wuling of Zhao taught the people how to ride and shoot in Hu clothes. He imitated the Hu people to wear short clothes with narrow sleeves and leather boots with hooks."
"If your Majesty wants to be a promising king, and if you want to enrich the country and strengthen the army, you must first change the customs. You should know that trends and customs change, and etiquette changes with change. This is the principle of a sage."
"I have received your majesty's favor and have to pay homage to you. Today I come to pay homage to your majesty all dressed up to show my determination to follow your majesty!"
But after hearing Zhang Yue's words, Zeng Gongliang and Wang Anshi who were standing aside were moved.
As for the high-ranking officials, they couldn't help but burst into tears after hearing Zhang Yue's words!
