The next day, Nanjing.
As the court assembly began, Emperor Zhu Qizhen looked at the officials standing below.
Those were all Li Qin's subordinates, as well as warlords from various regions.
At this moment, the feudal lords and warlords stood at the very front of the court assembly.
This time, however, Li Qin was nowhere to be seen.
He claimed to be ill yesterday and did not attend the morning assembly.
After the court assembly began, Qin Chenyao from Shandong took a deep breath and was the first to stand up.
He then produced a memorial to the throne and said:
"Your Majesty, this is a joint petition from your subject, along with those of Hong Chengchou from Shaanxi, Jiang Xiangyang from Datong, Liu Sixiu from Bashu, Jin Hufu from Jiangxi, and Li Hongji from Henan."
As Qin Chenyao spoke, Hong Chengchou, Liu Sixiu, and other officials standing below stepped forward one after another.
After seeing them all stand up, Emperor Zhu Qizhen, who was sitting on the throne, also had a bad feeling.
Qin Chenyao continued speaking to Emperor Zhu Qizhen above:
"Your Majesty, since King Li ascended the throne, his virtue has spread to all corners of the land, and his benevolence has extended to all things. He surpasses all others, even the Tang and Yu dynasties could not have done so."
The court officials discussed the matter, and with auspicious omens appearing in the heavens, everyone said that Wu Zuo was dead.
We should emulate the ways of Yao and Shun for Your Majesty.
He abdicated the throne to King Li in exchange for the protection of the mountains, rivers, and the state.
This aligns with the will of Heaven and the wishes of the people.
Your Majesty can also enjoy a peaceful and leisurely life.
Our ancestors were fortunate.
The living beings are fortunate.
We, your humble servants, have reached a decision and are hereby submitting this memorial.
After Qin Chenyao finished speaking, he immediately knelt down.
And those feudal lords and warlords who stood up with Qin Chenyao.
They all knelt down and said in unison to Emperor Zhu Qizhen:
"We, your humble servants, have come to make this request."
And the generals behind them, after seeing Qin Chenyao, Hong Chengchou, Liu Sixiu and others leading the way in kneeling and begging Emperor Zhu Qizhen to abdicate,
They all knelt down and said to Emperor Zhu Qizhen:
"Your Majesty, we humbly request that you abdicate."
"Your Majesty, we humbly request that you abdicate."
......
Emperor Zhu Qizhen, who had just sat on the throne, saw a group of officials kneeling before him, shouting for him to abdicate.
They were also at a loss.
He had mentally prepared himself countless times on the way here.
But when that moment actually arrived, he was still extremely at a loss.
He stood up and looked at the ministers who were forcing him to abdicate.
Zhu Qizhen slumped back onto the dragon throne, and finally, weakly addressed the assembled officials:
"Since this aligns with the will of Heaven and the wishes of the people, I shall abdicate the throne to Prince Li."
Upon hearing Emperor Zhu Qizhen's words, the ministers who had been kneeling immediately stood up.
Apart from the princes leading the way, Li Qin's subordinates were all smiling and exchanging pleasantries.
Meanwhile, the feudal lords who had been leading the coup were all looking helpless.
They knew that from this day forward, in the eyes of the world, they were now completely bound to Li Qin.
By complying with almost everyone's wishes.
The edict of abdication was quickly written and sent to Li Qin's residence.
Faced with this expected abdication edict.
Li Qin did not accept the position, but instead had someone write a memorial stating that he lacked virtue and submitted it to the emperor, declining the abdication.
Even if he were willing.
However, we still need to go through the procedures.
He first declined the offer, and then allowed Emperor Zhu Qizhen to issue an edict to build a platform for receiving the abdication on Zijin Mountain.
Let the whole world see that it was Emperor Zhu Qizhen who voluntarily abdicated in my favor.
Although many people in history have stopped following this procedure altogether.
However, Li Qin still felt it was better to go through this process.
After Li Qin submitted his memorial declining the offer, Zhu Qizhen, under Xi Ning's command, took over.
This began a dramatic show of resignation between Li Qin and Li Qin.
After the grand performance of declining the throne was over, Emperor Zhu Qizhen personally ordered the construction of the Abdication Platform on Zijin Mountain.
Let everyone see how he received the throne from Zhu Qizhen at the abdication platform on Zijin Mountain.
After the decree was issued.
The Shouchan Terrace on Zijin Mountain was completed in an astonishingly short period of time.
After all, everyone in Li Qin's faction, from top to bottom, was already impatient.
They were all waiting for Li Qin to become emperor so that they could all advance further.
The construction of this Zen-receiving platform is the result of everyone's hard work, from top to bottom.
Ultimately, this created an engineering marvel.
As for the name of his country after its founding, his ministers debated it for a long time.
Some say that we should follow his title and call him Liao.
Some people say that the Liao Dynasty was one of the three separatist regimes during the previous dynasty.
There is no major uniformity.
On the contrary, his surname can be linked to the imperial surname of the previous dynasty, and he can use their dynasty name, Tang.
Others say it's Yan, Qing, Han, Shun, etc.
Some ministers even went home and privately said that he was An Lushan reincarnated, and that the country should be named Ande.
In short, the debate was extremely heated, and in the end, the ministers from Tang Dynasty gained the upper hand.
Finally, the name Tang was chosen, and Li Qin nodded in approval of this name, which coincided with his later great voyages of exploration and immigration.
Let's call the areas established by overseas immigrants Chinatown or Chinatown district.
With the completion of the abdication platform, the abdication ceremony soon began.
A large number of officials, generals, and feudal lords gathered below the abdication platform.
