Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Zhao Yuan then got up.

He changed into the king's robes, which were predominantly black.

The imperial court favored black, and the emperor's clothing was primarily black with red accents.

It is embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon.

The morning court session in Daliang was also changed to Chenshi (7-9 AM).

It was one hour later than the Song Dynasty.

Officials no longer have to get up in the middle of the night.

The sky was already bright.

The city gates have also been opened.

The streets were already teeming with pedestrians.

The breakfast stall was packed with customers.

The Song Dynasty fostered a thriving commercial sector.

Larger businesses would open shops.

Smaller vendors push carts and hawk their wares, selling snacks, drinks, and treats.

As long as it has some unique features, it can be sold.

Many people make a living through their small crafts.

Chapter 1758 The New Dynasty's Atmosphere

City dwellers have also become accustomed to making money.

Then it can be used for various consumptions to enjoy life.

People in the Northern Song Dynasty were probably the most adept at enjoying life.

During every holiday...

A sumptuous feast must be prepared.

Many people are often not at the end of the year yet.

He then spent the entire year's harvest.

But during holidays...

They wouldn't settle for less.

They often pawn their belongings at home.

After exchanging money, we'll first have a lavish holiday.

I'll redeem the things next year when I have the money.

The imperial court also frequently held large-scale events during festivals.

For example, the large-scale song and dance performances at Jinmingchi.

Lion dance at Xuande Gate

Lanterns for the Lantern Festival, etc.

It can be said that the lives of ordinary people in the Northern Song Dynasty were quite rich.

The commercial economy is also very developed.

There are also widely circulated local tabloids.

You can see gossip about royalty and officials.

Unfortunately, Emperor Huizong of Song was too obsessed with this peaceful world.

The people are prosperous.

I felt he could now relax and enjoy life.

Power was handed over to treacherous officials like Cai Jing.

Cai Jing and others, in order to curry favor with Zhao Ji,

plunder the people of the world

To enrich themselves and satisfy Emperor Huizong's desire for pleasure.

Ultimately, this led to the downfall of the Song Dynasty.

After Zhao Yuan gained a deep understanding of this era,

They believe that as long as the administration is clean and efficient,

Then we can create a prosperous China.

Political systems are the result of generations of struggle.

A single hair can move the whole body.

There is no unified world.

It is not a good time to reform politics.

That would mean the world would be unified.

Zhao Yuan also did not believe that he could reform the political system better.

Therefore, he did not decide to reform politics.

It will simply introduce some new elements in the economic and cultural spheres.

To build a more prosperous and powerful nation.

We will bring all the barbarian tribes to pay tribute.

Zhao Yuan only brought a ten-man squad of personal guards with him when he went to court.

Five people clear the way in front, and five more follow behind.

The pedestrians on both sides of the street had become accustomed to the Liang army.

There was nothing to fear.

After the Liang army entered the city,

Dozens of soldiers who harassed the civilians were executed.

One of them was a newly reorganized centurion.

The uncompromising military regulations immediately made all the soldiers in the unit obey the rules.

Even when they occasionally left the military camp,

They all interacted with the people in a friendly and amicable manner.

He was not as arrogant and domineering as before.

After a group of previously domineering and ruthless scoundrels were killed,

The rest of them also tucked their tails between their legs and behaved themselves.

The lawless and powerful elites have vanished without a trace.

After the imperial court executed the seven traitors and a group of corrupt officials,

The remaining Song Dynasty officials were even more afraid of being sued by the people.

Each of the servants in the household was strictly disciplined.

They were afraid of bringing trouble upon them.

It can be said that this period was the most carefree time for ordinary people.

No need to fear unexpected disasters while walking on the street.

No one caused any trouble.

Of course, they stayed in the Song Dynasty for a long time.

People would still instinctively give way to the carriages and cavalry of high-ranking officials and nobles.

But the difference is,

During the Song Dynasty, they would lower their heads after giving way to others.

To avoid bringing trouble upon oneself.

In Daliang, after they made way, they would raise their heads.

Curious to see the powerful and wealthy of the new dynasty,

Because these powerful and influential people dare not cause trouble out of nothing.

Even some generals who came from Liangshan would clasp their hands in salute to them from horseback.

It is said that there was a dark-skinned and ugly general.

His name is Black Whirlwind Li Kui.

I once walked all the way with my hands clasped in front of me.

He was still grinning foolishly at the people on both sides.

In the end, his face was cramping from laughing so hard.

It took several days of treatment by the imperial physicians in the palace for him to recover.

This caused many city dwellers to wait and see the general.

However, it seems this general has gone to war.

Most people have never seen it.

However, the soldiers of Daliang were indeed very kind to the people.

The highest-ranking general in the city today is Lin Chong, the former instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards.

Many people in the city know him.

We met on the road.

General Lin Chong would also clasp his hands in greeting.

Furthermore, after the Great Liang took control of Tokyo,

They then posted a notice to reassure the people.

Many benevolent policies were promulgated.

All in all,

This meant that the people in the city did not have much fear of the powerful and influential figures of the Great Liang Dynasty.

More than anything, I felt envy and gratitude.

This was the first time Zhao Yuan had ever walked the streets in the robes of the King of Liang.

Pedestrians on both sides of the road suddenly saw Zhao Yuan dressed in a black dragon robe.

They couldn't help but stand up in awe.

In the etiquette of the Great Liang Dynasty, kneeling is not required.

When they met the emperor, they only needed to bow.

When the people on both sides of the street saw the king,

Without realizing it, he stood up and bowed.

After Zhao Yuan arrived,

They started whispering among themselves.

A customer eating breakfast at a small stall said,
