Zhang Nan crawled out of his gentle township early the next morning, after all, the last time he was arguing with Xiao Yu about parenting in the court, Xiao Yu's words were not light on Zhang Nan, Zhang Nan thought about it, he has been married for a while, why hasn't Cui Yue moved?

It's not that Zhang Nan is in a hurry to be a father, it's just that there has been no reaction for so long, and Zhang Nan is also a little strange. Of course, Zhang Nan, as a descendant who has accepted the concept of late marriage and late childbearing, is not in a hurry to give birth to such a thing, after all, it may happen one day, so Zhang Nan is not worried.

After gently kissing Cui Yue, who was still asleep, on the face, Zhang Nan changed into court clothes and rode to the palace in a carriage to prepare for the early court.

There is still no change in the early dynasty, Zhang Nan still listens to the officials above the court, anyway, except for natural and man-made disasters, the early dynasty generally praises Li Er, saying that what happened to that place under Li Er's wise guidance.

When the ministers were almost done, Zhang Nan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music." ”

Li Eryi heard that Zhang Nan had rarely stood up by himself, and he hadn't slept yet, so he raised his hand and said, "What's the matter with Qingquan, just play it." ”

Zhang Nan arched his hand at Li Er again, and then said, "I don't know what the emperor said to the minister about the national flag?" ”

Li Er heard Zhang Nan say this, and then remembered that he talked about this matter yesterday, but yesterday's Li Er was also rare to put his mind on playing, and after playing with Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi in a private club for an afternoon, Li Er was also tired, and after returning to the palace, Li Er and Empress Changsun rested after saying a few words of confidant, where do you remember the matter of the national flag.

But Li Er couldn't say that he didn't think about it at all, so Li Er said: "I have also thought about this problem, but I don't have a good idea, it just so happens that Qingquan you brought up this matter in the morning today, then you will explain to you the importance of this national flag to my Datang, and by the way, brainstorm to see what our Datang national flag will look like." ”

Zhang Nan heard Li Er's words, so he said, "The minister obeys the order." "Don't look at Zhang Nan at other times, he is quite unserious, but Zhang Nan is also an out-and-out patriotic young man, to put it more aside, Zhang Nan is a little angry, so when he encounters these things, Zhang Nan is also rare to put away the joke expression on his face, and explained the meaning of the national flag to the ministers with a serious face.

After Zhang Nan finished explaining, the ministers present all nodded again and again.

As the leader of Wenchen, the eldest grandson Wuji first stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this national flag, we must have it in Datang, not only to have it, but also to let every one of our people in Datang know that this is the banner that belongs to our Datang, so that our people can more clearly understand that they are our people of Datang." ”

In fact, from ancient times to the present, the common people are not very clear about the concept of the country, for them, they only know that they are Han people and Chinese people, no matter how many dynasties have changed, China is still China, China is still China, whether it is Xia, Shang Zhou, or Tang, Song, Yuanming, no matter which emperor came to rule the people, but the concept of China and Huaxia will not change with the change of the emperor.

The scope of the term "China" has undergone a process of expansion from small to large with the passage of time. When "China" appeared in the "Book of Shang", it was only the name of the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty who lived in Guanzhong and Heluo; By the time of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the dependent areas of the Zhou could also be called "China", and the meaning of "China" extended to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, including all large and small vassal states. And with the expansion of the territory of the vassal states, "China" became the title of the whole territory of the nations. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the areas that do not belong to the Yellow River Valley but are within the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Dynasty are called "China", and the name "China" has finally become the common name of China. Since the middle of the 19th century, "China" has become a special term to refer to the entire territory of our country.

In fact, although the name "China" has a written history of 3,000 years, it is only a regional concept, and from the beginning of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties until the end of the Qing Dynasty, no dynasty or regime has ever used "China" as its official name.

But even so, the concept has not changed since ancient times. China is China. What Zhang Nan wants to do is not just to narrowly set up a flag for Datang, but to set up a flag for the whole of China and the whole of China.

Zhang Nan's idea is that even if the feudal rule of the Tang Dynasty is ended in the end, future generations will still be able to use this banner that only belongs to China. This flag represents not only the political power of a country, but also the spirit of this nation.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that this national flag is very important, and when the army marches and fights in the future, it is still guarding the border pass, with this flag, I think the soldiers at the border pass can also be more determined in their hearts, and this will be more convenient for the Tang Dynasty to manage the army." Wei Chigong also stood up and said.

"That's right, the emperor, the minister also thinks that the establishment of this banner is very necessary, with this banner, our people's sense of identity with our Tang Dynasty will be stronger." Kong Yingda also stood up and said.

Li Er looked at the courtiers who were scrambling one by one, and also smiled and pressed his hand, and then said: "I know what you Aiqing mean, and I agree very much, but how this flag should be designed is the most important thing, and I am also very distressed, this is not a trivial matter, this is a matter related to the whole country." ”

"The emperor might as well let Lord Yan try it, Lord Yan is good at danqing, presumably the emperor has any requirements for the national flag, Lord Yan should be able to draw it." The eldest grandson Wuji arched his hand.

When Yan Liben heard this, he quickly stood up and arched his hand: "The minister must go all out." "Just kidding, this is a national flag, and what an honor it is to design a national flag, and only a person with a broken head will not agree.

To say that Yan Liben can also be regarded as Li Er's cronies. When Li Yuan was still the emperor, Yan Li was already in Li Er's Qin Palace. Kuzhi is a close confidant who serves the emperor, and he must be the son of a famous family, and he must be a "talented person". It can be seen that Yan Liben is not only talented and superior, but also has won Li Er's trust.

And Yan Liben is not only good at painting, but also very good at architecture, and now the Daming Palace in Xi'an City is designed and built by Yan Liben.
