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

"This trip was worthwhile, truly worthwhile."

Old Master Liu was in high spirits and said to his son...

"Just for this one sacrificial ceremony, our trip to Tokyo was worthwhile."

"Let alone Yunzhou, how could we possibly see it in Qingzhou?"

"Unfortunately, my legs are crippled,"

"We cannot dance to welcome or send off God."

Liu Wen, however, joined in the dancing, and said happily,

"I dance to entertain God,"

"They will surely receive blessings."

Old Lady Yan originally wanted to put her hands together in prayer.

I almost blurted out "Amitabha".

Suddenly it dawned on me that something was wrong with this deity.

Instead, he knelt down, clasped his hands, and silently recited...

"May God bless the Zhao family's dynasty to last ten thousand years,"

May my Sun family enjoy wealth and prosperity for generations to come.

"The old woman kowtows to the Heavenly God."

Compared to the title "God",

The common people preferred to call out to the Heavenly Lord or the God of Heaven.

Li Shishi was in a daze the whole time.

Follow the master of ceremonies and perform various actions.

Although she was mentally prepared,

But accompanying Zhao Yuan to the Heaven-worshiping ceremony,

This situation is still a bit awkward.

Because so many people are paying attention.

Standing before the Circular Mound Altar,

It's like life is just a grand dream.

As a courtesan,

How did she become the founding empress?

The sacrificial ceremony to Heaven has ended.

Zhao Yuan led everyone back to the city.

Head to the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the southeast of the inner city.

Zhao Yuan led the team in a land-worshiping ceremony held in the north of the city.

The time was slightly later than the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven.

But it's also closer to the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Zhao Yuan returned to the city.

The time was all calculated in advance.

They arrived almost simultaneously.

Music used in sacrificial rites at the Imperial Ancestral Temple

Following the Zhenghe New Rituals of Emperor Huizong of Song,

However, most of the lyrics have been changed.

Because many of the lyrics in the past praised Zhao Kuangyin.

Four memorial tablets were placed in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

The names of four generations of ancestors were all made up!

After the ceremony,

Zhao Yuan, along with his officials,

Enter the Imperial City through Xuande Gate

He then read out the imperial edict of ascension to the throne from the city tower.

They received the homage and worship of officials and people.

A general amnesty was then granted.

The death penalty and exile are exceptions.

A prisoner can have their sentence reduced by up to five years.

Then, the administrative divisions were changed.

Hebei Lianglu was changed to Hebei Province.

The two routes of JD.com have been changed to Shandong Province.

Hedong Road was renamed Shanxi Province.

Yongxingjun Road and Qinfeng Road were renamed Shaanxi Province.

The Fourth Circuit of Sichuan Gorge and the Southwest Circuit of Beijing (excluding Dengzhou and Tangzhou) were renamed Sichuan Province.

The Northwest Beijing Road, along with Dengzhou and Tangzhou, was renamed Henan Province.

Huainan Roads were renamed Huainan Province.

Its territory was roughly the same as in later periods.

But there are also many differences for now.

It must be revised after the country is unified in the future.

For example, Xuzhou now belongs to Shandong.

For example, Hanzhong and Hubei are now part of Sichuan.

These all need to be adjusted.

To prevent local areas from becoming too powerful and developing separatist forces.

After the Western Xia is destroyed,

After consolidating control of the Hexi Corridor,

They want to create another Gansu.

In each province, the Left Provincial Administration Commissioner is the head.

The Right Provincial Administration Commissioner was appointed as the deputy.

Clearer definition of rights and responsibilities

The autonomy of local civil servants has been strengthened.

Unlike the transport commissioners of the Song Dynasty,

Originally, they were actually officials dispatched by the Three Departments.

He was never considered a local official in charge from the beginning.

Later, its power continued to expand.

It was subsequently weakened.

A chaotic mix of checks and balances.

It involves a lot of practical government affairs.

The transit agent can be either supervised or not.

It can manage, but not completely.

I want to manage it, but I can't.

Unclear power and unclear responsibilities!

This set of reform plans has been released.

The former Song officials were shocked.

Even Shandong officials were surprised.

The person appointed as the Provincial Treasurer

It was as if I had been struck by a lightning bolt of happiness.

Regarding the arrangement of the Provincial Governor,

Zhao Yuan did not judge solely on birth and political achievements.

Zhang Xiaochun, who has always stayed in Taiyuan,

He was appointed as the Left Provincial Administration Commissioner of Shanxi.

To put it bluntly, you have to be able to keep the situation under control.

But we also need a deputy.

Moreover, this deputy will not have any conflicts with Zhang Xiaochun.

Chapter 1686 Young Genius

Yu Qi brought his son to the palace to meet the emperor.

I'm a little excited.

He also felt guilty towards the Song Dynasty.

When Zhao Yuan led his army to besiege Kaifeng,

Yu Qi was already the transport commissioner of Yongxing Army Road in the Great Song Dynasty.

With the fall of Kaifeng and the surrender of Zhong Shidao, the city fell.

The Guanzhong region was pacified by issuing a proclamation.

Yu Qi was also summoned to Tokyo with his family.

"Your subject Qi greets Your Majesty." Yu Qi bowed and paid his respects.

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Please sit down. You may call me Your Majesty."

"官家" is a respectful and affectionate term of address.

It doesn't matter what they say in private.

But when he actually met the emperor...

Only close friends or family members can call each other that.

Even if the relationship is distant, you can still shout.

But it's inevitably a bit abrupt.

This might displease the emperor.

Zhao Yuan thought this title was good.

It can shorten the distance between oneself and the ministers.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yu Qi sat up straight.

Yu Yunwen, who will soon turn sixteen,
