After half a month in such a tense atmosphere, Emperor Kangxi still maintained the idea of ​​establishing a grandson rather than a prince. The ministers took turns to persuade him, and some people who knew how to count thought, anyway, if the grandson is already there, Emperor Kangxi will really have one.

Or something like that, the country is not completely ownerless, and it makes sense to directly let the grandson succeed to the throne... Anyway, it makes sense, there are people who said that the grandson will be established.

Of course, these are basically the Shiye Party, taking a curved road to save the country. Let Xiao Fugua take the position first, and then let the old Shi follow... When this plan was first proposed, people dismissed it as too weird. Now I propose this suggestion.

My old clan members are so proud. Who said I am weird? Long Live Lord has already thought so. How dare any of you call me weird!

Emperor Kangxi felt that it was necessary to establish a grandson, so he asked the third elder brother and the fifth elder brother to work with the Ministry of Rites to discuss the regulations.

Some people want to say, isn’t it just a matter of establishing a grandson or something that can be done with an imperial edict?

You are so naive.

There are too many problems here.

Just say the simplest thing.

For example, to establish a grandson, what standards of clothing, food, housing and transportation are required?

Let’s start with the most basic thing, what will this grandson wear in the future?

What are the grandson's court clothes and casual clothes like?

At this time, the clothes were said to be nine-clawed golden dragon, five-clawed golden dragon, and four-clawed golden dragon. If you take a quick look, nine claws are more than four-clawed and five-clawed. This must be the most noble.

Let Kangxi wear one with nine claws, the prince with five claws, the grandson with four claws, and then go down and chop it into three claws, which is a crippled dragon. If it is not suitable, then don't give the claws, just give it a rolling circle.

Change from dragon to snake.

hehe……

The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty did not sell chicken feet. The more claws, the more valuable they were, right?

As we all know, the dragon in ancient China had 4 thighs, 4 claws and 16 claws.

When we say "Five-clawed Golden Dragon", does it mean that this thing has one more claw than the ordinary dragon, which is located at the navel of the dragon, and then appears when it is used, just like Erlang Shen's eyes?

Not really!

This is a misunderstanding caused by the ancient claw toes and claw toes being simplified into claws.

Five claws, strictly speaking, are "dragon toes". Each claw has "five toes". It is a deliberate exaggeration of ancient legends to show the emperor's special status. Therefore, the five-claw golden dragon suit is the emperor's exclusive clothing.

If there is any counterfeiting of the real dragon suit, once investigated and punished, the death penalty will not be suspended.

As for the one worn by the prince, only one claw toe is five, and the other three claws are all four. The total number is seventeen, which is not easy to pronounce. The ancients used the image to add the two front claws to nine, which is nine.

It has two claws, so it is called the Nine-clawed Golden Dragon.

The next time I wait, I am wearing a four-clawed golden dragon. The "four claws" are pythons, and the four-clawed dragon robe is a python robe. Other members of the royal family and vassal kings can wear it.

So the question is, how to show that the emperor's grandson is lower than the prince, but higher than even members of the royal family, by wearing an eight-and-a-half-claw coat?

Do you think it can be done?

This is a simple costume, as well as a hat, and the number of people sitting in the sedan. In order to show that the prince has two more people than the prince, in order to show the status of the grandson, the sedan he will sit in will be used in the future.

Is it appropriate for seven people to carry it?

In short, everything needs to be discussed by the Ministry of Etiquette, and it is extremely complicated.

Kangxi silenced the ministers with one move.
Chapter completed!
