Emperor Zhu Qizhen was on the platform where he received the abdication.
Li Qin, on the other hand, walked upwards step by step.
Li Qin looked at the emperor's seal on the abdication platform.
Although he could use it freely before, it had to be issued in the name of Emperor Zhu Qizhen.
But from this day forward, I can openly and legitimately use the emperor's seal in my own name.
He started his rebellion in Liaodong and has now become emperor after receiving the abdication at Zijin Mountain in Nanjing.
He had fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

After entering the imperial palace in Jinling, Li Qin sat directly on the dragon throne.
He finally got to sit in that position.
After Li Qin sat on the dragon throne.
The ministers who had returned with Li Qin inside the main hall also knelt down below the hall with joyful expressions.
