Chapter 1070 - Great Zhou Dynasty
Chapter 1070: Great Zhou Dynasty
“System Notification: Congratulations player Di Chen for successfully establishing the Great Zhou Dynasty, year title Jianyuan, becoming the second Lord in China to ascend to king, awarded 80 thousand merit points, 150 thousand reputation points, three million gold, and one special reward, congratulations player!”
…
The moment the notification sounded out, China Region welcomed a new page.
Ouyang Shuo was already mentally prepared because three days ago, Di Chen had sent out invitations to invite people to the ascension ceremony. Great Xia was also invited.
Ouyang Shuo did not go, only asking Zhang Yi to lead a group over to attend.
The aftereffects of the Battle of Japan had not passed. Although the four families used their strength and tried to clear the name of Handan City, the player group still had a really bad impression of them.
As a result, the Handan City ascension ceremony was much colder than that of Great Xia’s.
Even so, the establishment of the Great Zhou dynasty was a really remarkable achievement to Handan City and the four families.
Their cooperation had reached a whole new height and became a true combination of interests.
On the day of the ascension ceremony, Di Chen used his name as Zhou King to award Xiong Ba the title of Wu Marquis, Zhan Lang the title of Qi Marquis, Chun Shenjun the title of Chu Marquis whilst Sha Pojun and Wandering Magic were given 1st class earl titles.
The Great Zhou situation was settled.
The country title that Di Chen chose was really interesting. Zhou was one of the three ancient titles of ancient China and was a very good choice. Ouyang Shuo had once hesitated about whether he should use it or not.
Zhou Tianzi also had the intentions of ruling the world, so one could see that Di Chen’s ambition was not wiped out.
Furthermore, the Zhou Dynasty also used enfeoffment. Seeing that he gave the three of them the title of Marquis, one could see that the Zhou Dynasty was following the same route.
“Who knows whether a new Warring States Period will occur or not?”
…
7th month, 10th day, afternoon, Dali.
On the other side, Great Xia’s plan in Dali City officially came into effect.
Dali Prince Duan Yu used his identity to reveal the results of the assassination investigation, and that the mastermind was the player, Duan Hong. With the evidence, there was nothing Duan Hong could say.
The moment the news spread out, the wilderness shook. The Dali Guards could not remain neutral anymore, and under the orders of Duan Yu, they captured the Duan Hong family.
Duan Hong and the others tried to teleport away, but they were stopped by members of the Fallen Leaf Alliance.
Ouyang Shuo was rarely so vicious. This time, he decided to wipe out Duan Hong’s family due to their previous grievance whilst also sending a warning to Silver Hand.
It was also a warning to the aristocratic families in Silver Hand, “If you want to go against Great Xia, be prepared to be wiped out. Can you afford such a risk?”
7th month, 11th day.
After smoothly removing Duan Hong’s family, just when the Dali dynasty officials thought that Duan Yu was about to ascend, he suddenly announced, “I officially step down and yield to Great Xia.”
The moment the news spread out, it created another uproar.
Luckily, Great Xia was prepared. Ouyang Shuo personally went to Dali. With Jiang Shang chairing the matter, under the gazes of the Dali officials, they held the handing over ceremony.
Duan Yu handed over the imperial seal of Dali whilst Ouyang Shuo gave him the Dali Marquis seal and the imperial decree.
One in and one out, and their relationship was set in stone.
Seeing that the Dali family had admitted defeat, there was nothing they could say as officials. Furthermore, this was the wish of the old emperor, and even if people were unwilling, they could not oppose it.
The matter was settled just like that.
In the following period of time, Jiang Shang and Du Ruhui would remain in Dali to calm down the officials whilst reorganizing the Dali Guards.
…
7th month, 15th day, Yunnan Provincial Governor Bai Hua headed toward Dali.
The Provincial Governor office would move over to Dali.
Before leaving, in Bai Hua’s reading room, Moon Shines over the River had a conversation with her.
He asked, “Sister, what do you think?”
Bai Hua stood by the window, keeping silent.
When he saw that, he hesitated and still said, “There have been rumors outside saying that since he ascended, his heart has changed, and he started to defend against allies. Making you leave Consonance City is to make you unsettled. You have to prepare for that.”
“Brother!”
Bai Hua suddenly interrupted him and said, “What do you think would have happened to us if we did not ally with Great Xia?”
“That….”
Moon Shines over the River instantly fell silent.
Bai Hua continued, “In the China region, I do not think I’m weaker than anyone. But what’s the current situation in the wilderness? Even the Handan Six Tyrants needed to hug together to survive. Thousands of Lords in China were eliminated, with only three remaining. With the way Great Xia developed, if we did not ally with them, we would have nothing.”
Moon Shines over the River kept silent.
“We should be thankful about our choice. Although we are not together, but you, Zi Luolan, Hong Ying, and Tsing Yi all found your stages to shine.”
“Such position and status is what everyone else wants.”
When Moon Shines over the River heard that, “I’m not really suspecting him. I’m only reminding you. Since you know what you’re doing, I’ve nothing to worry about.”
Bai Hua turned around and looked at her brother with a smile on her, “I know you care about me.”
“Only one thing.” Bai Hua pretty much saw through her brother and said, “The current Great Xia is really complicated, with many hidden currents, so do not forget the reason you started out and do not be used by others.”
“I know.”
Moon Shines over the River clenched his fists tightly.
That was right. The current Great Xia was a giant that everyone in the world respected, affecting the interests of tens of millions of people. In such an interest spiral, who could really be unaffected?
Bai Hua turned around once more and looked at the blue sky and white clouds, “Brother as well as the others, please remember that Consonance City does not exist, and we are all under Great Xia. Any unneeded thoughts are really dangerous.”
Looking at the clouds, her mind was not here. She saw even further than Moon Shines over the River and had firm belief in her judgment.
“No matter how the times change, Ouyang is still that Ouyang.”
That determined fellow with great vision was not someone who would be corrupted by power. He would only control the throne and would not be a slave to it.
Bai Hua could only hope that she could keep up and not fall behind.
Forever!
