On an ordinary autumn morning, an earth-shattering event happened in Bianliang Mansion.
On this day, an edict was issued. Originally, it was very common for the emperor to issue an edict, but today, the emperor does not show his face easily, and his sense of presence is really low.
The content of the edict is clearly that Zen is located in Yanwang Yang Lin.
Although in recent years, it has been widely reported that King Yan wanted to imitate Taizu, no one expected that the power of the Song Dynasty would be changed so suddenly.
Although people were chattering, they were not too surprised or angry. As Yang Lin has been in power for a long time and the people have undergone earth-shaking changes, people have already acquiesced in this fact in their hearts.
There are even quite a few people who are secretly excited about this, thinking that this is how peace should be.
The imperial edict issued by Emperor Zhao and Song on the Zen throne meant that even the ministers who wanted to serve Zhao Song lost their moral support and were at a loss.
In Zhaodefang, Yang Lin was boxing. This was an almost unbreakable habit.
Hearing Lu Qian cross his hands to report, Yang Lin smiled and said: "As usual, I have to decline three times to avoid looking too ugly."
These three refusals seem to be the necessary process for abdication. Almost all voluntary and involuntary abdication has such a step.
Yang Lin didn't want to be too arrogant, so he twisted his wrist. When he came out, he found that the person who came to read the edict was Yang Jian from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The two brothers are old partners, and they have a perfect understanding with just one look. Yang Jian squeezed a few tears and cooperated with Yang Lin to act.
"What do the officials mean by this? Doesn't it mean that I am undermining this king? I cannot be the emperor."
Yang Jian wiped away his tears and said: "His Royal Highness, King Yan, is not subject to the imperial edict. Wouldn't it chill the hearts of the people in the world?"
Yang Lin firmly refused to accept it, and bowed three times in the direction of the imperial city.
Everyone present was moved to tears, as if the sky would collapse if Yang Lin didn't come out and become emperor.
After all, Yang Jian was old. After following everyone's persuasion for a while, his body couldn't support it anymore, so the waiter immediately brought him a stool.
After drinking half a pot of tea under the shade of a tree, he stood up to say goodbye and returned to the palace.
Immediately, he drafted a second memorial under Zhongshu's sect and went to Zhaodefang again two days later.
Yang Lin refused to resign again, and the Department of Culture and Education published a large report in the Di newspaper. There were articles on this aspect for seven days in a row.
Either it is praising His Highness King Yan's great achievements, or it is his noble moral character.
For a time, the people were excited to participate in this important event. Many places spontaneously organized people to go to Bianliang City in Tokyo to persuade people to join.
The scholars of the school also began to persuade them to join, and the most terrifying thing was the Beijing Camp New Army, which also selected more than a dozen people to participate.
This absurd Zen position lasted all winter, until the third Zen position edict was issued. It was already the end of the year and the New Year was approaching.
After three rejections, Yang Lin accepted the Zen position and ascended the throne in the imperial city and proclaimed himself emperor.
The Zhao and Song Dynasties came to an end at the end of the fifth year of Xuanhe.
All major and minor matters in the DPRK will continue to operate as before, and authorized officials may resign.
According to statistics from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, more than 130 local officials resigned and returned to their hometowns, but no one in Bianjing resigned.
To the soldiers, civilians and ministers of the world, he is just a hidden emperor who has come to light.

In front of Zhaode Square, Yang Lin wore the dragon robe that had been made long ago, wore the emperor's crown and belt, built the emperor's flag, went out and entered the gate, rode a golden root chariot, drove six horses, prepared a five-hour auxiliary chariot, set up a Yangtou Yunhan, and danced with music
Eight hundred years ago, he went to the altar to receive Zen, received edicts, policies, and jade seals.
The personal guards around him are still wearing red robes and brocade robes, long live the old attire. When Yang Lin came to the court, he was once known as Chiyang, and he was the most fire-virtuous. Therefore, the crown, dragon robe, and banners were all red.
The ministers, princes, and generals of the court were accompanied by more than ten thousand people, and they burned sacrifices to the heaven and earth, the five mountains, and the four mountains, and discussed the correction of the new moon.
Yang Lin named the country Xia and the year Chongming, which was taken from the Book of Changes, "Chongming uses beauty and righteousness to transform the world."
Respect Yang Tong as the Supreme Emperor, Zheng Yunyao as the Queen, and Yang Tianyi as the Prince.
Immediately afterwards, he gave preferential treatment to Zhao Si, who was in the Zen position. He was conferred the title of King Qi, and he wrote that he would not be a minister. He was allowed to ride a horse when entering the palace, and his salary was equivalent to that of the prince, who was better than the prince.
Zhao Ji was granted the title of King of Xi, and he promised to build a jade building and purchase real estate and land in a selected location.
The Zhao family's clan was originally like a favor order, spreading among the people layer by layer without any real power or salary.
Yang Lin simply ignored it and continued as usual, no longer hereditary.
Song Jiang, Zhang Shuye, and Fan Zongyin were promoted to the post of Zhongshu Menxia, and became the Right Prime Minister. The chief prime minister, Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhang, was still Bai Shizhong, and the four of them constituted the three prime ministers and assistants of Mingtang. Cai Jing was granted the title of Prince of Guangyang County
, although it is not hereditary, but for a living person to be crowned king, it is also the highest honor and favor.
Cai Jing's character aside, his talent laid the foundation for this dynasty. Many government orders were written by him, and they achieved remarkable results.
The Privy Council was abolished and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies was established to take charge of all major military affairs in the world.
The meritorious generals in the army, Han Shizhong, Zongze, Yao Pingzhong, Fang Qifu, were awarded the title of Taiwei, up to the first rank.
Wang Zhen, Wu Jie, Wu Lin, and Hu Yantong each awarded military envoys. The rewards for military officials were slightly higher than those for civilian officials. This was also a kind of compensation for the Song Dynasty's excessive correction and wanton suppression of military officials.
After finishing this work, because Yang Lin informed me in advance and the ceremony was a simplified version, I was not particularly tired.
Sitting on the throne of the emperor is actually no different. Yang Lin has held a high position of power in the past few years, and he is not as excited as ordinary people who suddenly gain a great position.
He very calmly summarized the reasons for the failure of the Song Dynasty. The changes in the past hundred years served as a good warning.
Facing the dominance of military commanders during the Five Dynasties, one should not blindly suppress them. Combining civil and military forces was the right way;
In the face of bandit invasion, we should not blindly seek peace and alliance and give away coins, without thinking about accumulating strength and counterattack.
In Genyue, Empress Zheng packed up her belongings and evacuated from the garden accompanied by a group of family members.
Yang Lin fulfilled his promise and gave her the freedom to return to the Zheng Mansion. At this time, no one cared about this anymore.
Master Zheng came in person to pick up his eldest daughter and two granddaughters. Gen Yue, as an ingenious garden, is undoubtedly the best in the world.
Yang Lin specially ordered that Genyue be opened for people to play and escape the summer heat.
In the old days, eunuchs and palace maids who did not want to go out would continue to work here, maintaining order, feeding rare birds and animals, and cleaning up fallen leaves.
Many of these people are grateful for this and have lived forever ever since.
At dusk, in Zhaodefang, teams of personal guards escorted people from the inner courtyard into the imperial city.
The outer courtyard will still not be taken back. Many people living in the outer courtyard are bringing their families with them, and they all came out to say goodbye at this time.
Zheng Yunyao and others waved from the curtains of the carriage, and the people of Bianliang were saying that the new royal family was more friendly to the people than the Zhao Guan family.
