"System Announcement: Congratulations to player Di Chen for successfully establishing the Great Zhou Dynasty. His year is Jian Yuan, and he has become the second Lord in the China server to ascend to the throne. He has been rewarded with 80,000 Achievement Points, 150,000 Reputation Points, 3,000,000 gold, and a special reward. Congratulations!"
…
The announcement marked the beginning of a new chapter in the history of Huaxia.
Ouyang Shuo was already mentally prepared for this because three days ago, Di Chen had already sent out invitations to all the big shots from all over the world to participate in the coronation ceremony. Great Xia was also invited.
Ouyang Shuo did not go. Instead, Zhang Yi, the Chamberlain of Dependencies, led the group to attend the ceremony.
The aftermath of the Battle of Japan had yet to dissipate. Although the 4 Great Clans had mobilized a large number of navy in an attempt to clear Handan City's name, it still had a very negative impact on the players.
As a result, the coronation ceremony of the Great Zhou Dynasty was much quieter than the Great Xia Dynasty.
Even so, with the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, to Handan City, to the 4 Great Clans, and to the original [Yan Huang Alliance], it was a very impressive achievement.
Their integration reached a whole new level, forming a true community of interests.
On the day of his ascension to the throne, Di Chen, in the name of Prince of Zhou, conferred Xiong Ba the title of Marquis Wu, Zhan Lang the title of Marquis Qi, Lord Chunshen the title of Marquis Chu, and Sha Pojun and Piao Linghuan the title of Marquis.
The structure of the Great Zhou Dynasty was thus set.
The name that Di Chen had chosen was also very interesting. 'Zhou' was one of the three ancient names. It could be said to be a very good choice. Ouyang Shuo had hesitated before whether he should use this name or not.
"Great Zhou Emperor" also meant to be the ruler of the world. It was clear that Di Chen's ambition was not extinguished.
Another point was that the Zhou Dynasty implemented the enfeoffment system. Presently, Xiong Ba, Zhan Lang and Lord Chunshen were conferred the title of Marquis. It could be seen that the structure of the Great Zhou Dynasty would follow the Zhou Dynasty's enfeoffment system.
"I wonder if there will be another Spring and Autumn Warring States Period."
…
In the afternoon of July 10th, Dali.
Perhaps it was in response to the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Great Xia's arrangements in Dali City were officially retracted.
The Crown Prince of Dali, Duan Yu, announced the results of the investigation into the assassination of the late emperor. The culprit was the mutant prince, Duan Hong. Because the evidence was irrefutable, Duan Hong could not refute it.
Once the news came out, the entire court was shaken. The Imperial Guards of Dali could no longer remain indifferent. Under Duan Yu's command, they captured every member of Duan Hong's clan and brought them to justice, awaiting execution at a later date.
Duan Hong and the others wanted to escape through the Transmission Formation, but they did not know that they had already been blocked by the Fallen Leaves Alliance.
It was rare for Ouyang Shuo to be so ruthless. The reason why he massacred the Duan Hong Clan this time was, firstly, to resolve the previous grudges, and secondly, to issue a warning to the Silver Hand.
This was also a warning to the aristocratic families attached to the Silver Hand. "If you want to stand on the opposite side of the Great Xia, you must be prepared to be exterminated. Can they afford to take such a risk? "
July 11th.
After successfully eliminating Duan Hong's clan, just when the courtiers of Dali thought that Duan Yu would take advantage of the situation to ascend to the throne, Duan Yu suddenly announced, "In accordance with the will of the late Emperor, I am willing to abdicate the throne and submit to Great Xia."
As soon as the news came out, there was another great commotion.
Fortunately, the Great Xia was well prepared. Ouyang Shuo personally went to Dali and held a formal abdication ceremony under the auspices of the Cabinet Chief Jiang Shang and the attention of the former civil and military officials of Dali.
Duan Yu presented the Imperial Seal of Dali and the letter of credence, while Ouyang Shuo gave Duan Yu the seal of the Marquis of Dali and the imperial edict.
The relationship between the monarch and the subject was thus established.
Seeing that the Duan family of Dali had admitted defeat, as the subjects, what else could they say? Moreover, this was the will of the late Emperor. Even if someone was unwilling, they could not speak out against it.
Things were settled in this way.
For a period of time, Jiang Shang and Du Ruhui would stay in Dali. One would be responsible for appeasing the former civil and military officials of Dali, while the other would be responsible for reorganizing the Dali Imperial Guards.
…
July 15th. Yunnan Governor Bai Hua was about to set off for Dali.
The Yunnan Governor's Office would also be moved to Dali.
Before leaving, in Bai Hua's study, Bright Moon Illuminates the River and Bai Hua had a conversation.
Bright Moon Illuminates the River asked, "Sister, what are you thinking?"
Bai Hua stood by the window, silent.
Seeing this, Bright Moon Illuminates the River hesitated for a moment, but still said, "There are rumors outside that Ouyang has been unpredictable ever since he ascended to the throne, and is wary of allies like you. Now that you have left Lingxi City, the intention behind it is really unsettling. You have to be prepared. "
"Brother!"
Bai Hua suddenly interrupted Bright Moon Illuminates the River, and said faintly, "Brother, if we did not form an alliance with Great Xia, what would have happened to Lingxi City?"
"This …"
Bright Moon Illuminates the River was momentarily speechless.
Bai Hua continued, "I will not belittle myself and say that in the Hua Xia region, I do not think that I am inferior to any of the lords. But what is the situation in the wilderness now? Even the insufferably arrogant Six Lords of Handan have to band together to warm themselves. Of the tens of thousands of lords in the Huaxia region, only three survived in the end. With the development of Great Xia, if not for the alliance, we would have nothing left. "
Bright Moon Illuminates the River was silent.
"We should be thankful for the choice we made." Bai Hua's face flashed with a trace of reminiscence, "Although we are not together, you, me, Violet, Red Eagle, and Qingyi have all found their own stage."
"Such achievements and status, I wonder how many people are envious."
Seeing this, Bright Moon Illuminates the River smiled sheepishly, "Look at what you are saying, I am not really suspecting Ouyang, I am just reminding you. Since you know what you are doing, I am relieved. "
Bai Hua turned and looked at his brother, smiling, "I know that brother is doing this out of kindness."
"Just a little." Bai Hua seemed to want to see through Bright Moon Illuminates the River, and said faintly, "Right now, the Great Xia is complicated internally, with undercurrents surging. I hope that brother will not forget his original intentions, and not be used by others."
"I know."
Bright Moon Illuminates the River clenched his fists tightly.
Yes, the Great Xia was already a giant beast that was feared by the players of the world, and it involved the interests of tens of millions of people. In the midst of such a whirlpool of interests, who could truly care about their own safety?
Bai Hua turned again and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, saying softly, "I hope that brother and the old people will remember this, Lingxi City has long been gone, and we only have one place to go, and that is the Great Xia, and it can only be the Great Xia. Any unnecessary thoughts are extremely dangerous. "
Looking at the white clouds in the sky, Bai Hua's thoughts were no longer on this. She could see far more clearly than Bright Moon Illuminates the River, and she firmly believed in her own judgment.
"No matter how much time has passed, Ouyang is still the same Ouyang."
That man with lofty vision and majestic actions was definitely not someone who would be swallowed by the throne. Only he could control the throne, and there was no reason for the throne to enslave him.
Bai Hua only hoped that she could keep up with his footsteps and not fall behind.
Forever!
