Chapter 1250 Palace Change

The fall of Danyang City was a blow to the Song court.

The voice of the main surrender faction instantly overwhelmed the main combat faction. Depending on the situation, surrender has become Song's only choice.

But at this time, the news that the Tianzhu Ashoka Dynasty had taken over the Tubo Dynasty and was preparing to fight the Great Xia quietly spread across the land of China, giving Zhao Kuangyin, who was already desperate, a glimmer of hope again.

"Wait a little longer, maybe Daxia will withdraw his troops." Zhao Kuangyin thought so.

Zhao Kuangyin was going to endure it again, but the other ministers of the Song Dynasty did not want to endure it anymore, because there was only one day left before the deadline for surrender given by Emperor Xia.

The "seven-day drop limit order" is like a butcher's knife hanging over Zhao's head.

In the eyes of the princes, nobles and ministers, even if the Ashoka Dynasty threatened the western border of the Great Xia, with the strength of the Great Xia, it would still be able to clean up the Song Dynasty while stabilizing the defense on the western front.

When that time comes, they will have to accompany His Majesty to be buried.

In the court of the Song Dynasty, one wanted to survive, while the other wanted to save his life. The two sides had irreconcilable conflicts that were life and death. When Zhao Kuangyin made it clear that he wanted to stick to it, the conflict finally broke out!

July 3rd, night.

Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi, with the support of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, brazenly launched a palace coup and put his brother Zhao Kuangyin under house arrest.

A scene in history seems to be repeating itself again.

On the night of October 19th in the ninth year of Kaibao, Zhao Kuangyin called Zhao Guangyi into the palace to drink, and stayed in the palace together that night. In the early morning of the 20th, Zhao Kuangyin died suddenly. On the 21st, Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi came to the throne as Song Taizong.

The death of Song Taizu and the ascension of Song Taizong left behind the eternal mystery of "candle shadow and ax sound" for later generations.

In any case, with the success of Zhao Guangyi Palace, the fate of Song Dynasty has been settled. Early the next morning, Zhao Guangyi represented Da Song and expressed his intention to return to Da Xia.

As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked.

…………

The capital, the imperial city.

The icy cold winter seems to be still yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, it is already hot summer.

After half a year of construction, the renovation project of the imperial city is coming to an end and will be completed soon. With the injection of massive funds, Jingshi New District has also begun to rejuvenate, becoming a new engine for the economic growth of the dynasty.

Almost every week, something new comes out of the factory in the new city.

Recently, among the princes and nobles in the capital, there has been a bicycle craze, especially for young men. Riding a Shanying brand bicycle to go out is a matter of face.

If there is any son who travels on horseback, he is really out of date.

[Shanying Bicycle Factory] The realization of assembly line production not only means that bicycles are rapidly popularized in the capital, but also means that a new streamlined production model will soon replace the inefficient small workshop model.

The industrialization of Daxia has reached a new level.

The development of a new urban area is inseparable from the support of a group of people, that is, adventure players who have returned to their old jobs. According to the statistics given by the Industry Administration, within half a year, 150,000 industrial workers were recruited in the new urban area alone.

With the development of new urban areas on the fast track, the number of workers continues to rise.

At the beginning of the year, Daxia opened its doors to adventure players, and more and more players have completed their identity transformation. Workers, doctors, teachers, businessmen, farmers, and civil servants can all find their positions in Daxia and get a place.

Human resources have been fully released, allowing Daxia's economy to usher in rapid growth.

In the past May alone, the tax revenue collected by the Great Xia court reached 17 million gold coins. It is very easy for the annual tax revenue to break through the 200 million gold coin mark.

With the help of Daxia Bank, Daxia Commercial Bank, Daxia Agricultural Bank, and the recently restructured Huitong Bank, the Daxia coin was promoted, and a large number of gold coins were recovered, built into gold bricks, and stored in the Daxia treasury.

In the early stage of the game, Gaia directly injects a large amount of gold coins into the wilderness with the help of monster-killing item drops, mission rewards, and royal city stores to activate the entire trading system.

Gold coins have also become a unified global currency.

As the game continues to turn towards "realization", Gaia's involvement in the game continues to decrease, and the royal city continues to fall, the increase in gold coins is mainly completed through the territorial gold mine.

This also means that the currency status of gold coins in the world is increasingly being challenged.

According to the laws of economic development, gold coins, a purely hard currency, are not the best currency at all, and being eliminated is an inevitable trend. Whichever dynasty first establishes a stable new currency system will benefit first.

With the circulation of Daxia coins among the people, gold is more used to make jewelry than currency.

In just half a year, the gold and silver jewelry on the market has grown at a rate of four to five times, which shows that the consumption capacity of the people of Daxia is increasing day by day, which in turn stimulates domestic demand and becomes another engine of economic growth.

All in all, Great Xia is undergoing a profound change internally.

The atmosphere of the feudal dynasty is gradually moving away; instead, it is a new country full of vigor and vitality. It is precisely because of this that the Chinese elite began to take the initiative to move closer to Great Xia.

Daxia officialdom is ushering in a new and old replacement.

As an emperor, Ouyang Shuo is very happy to see that the blood of the dynasty is constantly renewed, rather than a pool of stagnant water that loses the will to make progress. He does not want the pace of expansion of the court to be dragged down by domestic interest groups.

Change is the theme of this half year of summer.

It is changing with each passing day, just like a dream. Once the mind takes a nap, it will not be able to keep up with the trend.

Even the Hall of Qinzheng, where Ouyang Shuo works daily, has undergone a seemingly inconspicuous but significant change. Just a few days ago, according to Ouyang Shuo's instructions, the Construction Department completed the reconstruction of the Hall of Qinzheng.

The changes are actually very small, but a large room is built next to the imperial study, with long square tables and sandalwood chairs, and it is transformed into a meeting room with both ancient charm and modernity.

Ouyang Shuo called it the first meeting room.

From then on, no matter whether it was a military meeting or a political meeting, Ouyang Shuo would not hold it in the Hall of Martial Arts or the Hall of Wenhua unless it was required by the etiquette system. Instead, he chose the first meeting as the venue for the meeting.

In the meeting room, everyone sat around together, there was no need to look up at Ouyang Shuo, the emperor.

Ouyang Shuo couldn't bear to sit on the cold dragon chair all day long, discussing matters with the civil and military ministers high above. The real authority of the emperor is definitely not established through such boring rituals.

The imperial court also welcomed several newcomers.

On June 15th, after completing the handover of [Emperor Fenghua], Jue Dai Fenghua officially took up his post at the Miwen Pavilion. Ouyang Shuo followed the agreement and appointed him as the bachelor in charge of information collection.

Generally speaking, Peerless Fenghua is Ouyang Shuo's intelligence secretary.

This appointment obviously surprised Jue Dai Fenghua very much, because no matter where it is, the information is highly confidential, especially the information reported to Ouyang Shuo's level is all imperial secrets.

The intelligence secretary must be the person Ouyang Shuo trusts the most.

However, Ouyang Shuo chose Jue Dai Fenghua, who had just joined the post, which surprised not only Jue Dai Fenghua himself, but also other ministers, who once looked at Jue Dai Fenghua with strange eyes.

Ouyang Shuo was unmoved, he always adhered to a principle, "Don't doubt the person you employ, and don't use the person who doubts you."

Placing suitable talents in suitable positions is the most important and difficult task for Ouyang Shuo. Peerless Fenghua has been in charge of [Difeng] for a long time, so he is undoubtedly the best candidate for intelligence secretary.

As for the loyalty of Peerless Fenghua, Shan Haiwei is in charge of monitoring.

Before Jue Dai Fenghua took office, Di Chen, who had rushed to the capital to take office, had already left the capital with a few guards and traveled around the world.

Ouyang Shuo could understand Dichen's mood and knew that Dichen needed an adjustment process, so he didn't make any rigid regulations on Dichen's work at all, and only allocated him a certain amount of activity funds.

How to operate it, Dichen has a lot of flexibility.

Ouyang Shuo also believed that he saw people's eyes. Since Dichen took over the post of Honglu Temple Prime Minister and Imperial Court Special Envoy, it was impossible for him to be a vegetarian. He would definitely want to make outstanding achievements in this position.

All Dichen needs is a little time to adjust.

The only thing that surprised Ouyang Shuo was that after the return of Da Zhou, veteran Lian Po voluntarily gave up his military post and was willing to accompany Di Chen as an ordinary guard captain.

The former friendship between monarch and minister has been transformed into the friendship between master and servant.

Since this was Lian Po's choice, Ouyang Shuo didn't force it, he just let it be, thinking that with Di Chen's achievements, it is still possible to manifest a Lian Po.

In addition to Lian Po, several former ministers of the former Great Zhou Dynasty also had new posts.

Fan Zeng, a counselor, stayed in the capital for the elderly and no longer served as an official. Zhang Hongfan, a general of the Yuan Dynasty who was disliked by Ouyang Shuo, left Da Zhou tactfully on the day Da Zhou surrendered, hiding his identity.

Not everyone can adapt to the big summer and start a new life.

With Shanhaiwei's power, of course he could find out where Zhang Hongfan was hiding, but Ouyang Shuo didn't do that. Since Zhang Hongfan is already very knowledgeable, why not spare his life.

Among the old ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a Japanese general, was appointed by Ouyang Shuo to join the Heluo Army as the commander of the army.

At this point, the last trace of Da Zhou also disappeared.

The afternoon sun was still venomous, shining on Ouyang Shuo through the emerald green leaves outside the window, and then through the grille window, casting a long shadow on the screen wall.

Before the case, Ouyang Shuo was taking a nap with his eyes closed.

The Asoka Dynasty annexed the Tubo Dynasty, and the Great Song Palace was changed. Ouyang Shuo was a little caught off guard by the recent drastic changes, and felt a little tired for a while.

I just took the opportunity of lunch break to sort out my thoughts in my mind.
