Staying up late on New Year's Eve, some people really follow the Spring Festival, so they also stay up late on New Year's Eve.
Some people simply can't sleep.
The imperial power of Ming Dynasty will be officially handed over tomorrow, and a new era is about to begin.
It is a new era in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a new era in the European and American countries.
The attitude of the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty towards the countries in Europe and the West may directly affect the fate of many people.
I don’t know how many people waited all night with anxiety and expectation.
The next morning, Zhu Jianyan's enthronement ceremony was held in the Ming Dynasty capital.
The news that the Ming Dynasty changed the Yuan Dynasty to "Ankang" was announced to the world at noon.
All vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, as well as all countries with which official contacts were established, received notification telegrams sent by the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty.
The staff who received the telegram immediately delivered the telegram to the senior officials of the country.
Almost all European and American countries immediately held small-scale cabinet meetings and imperial meetings.
Countless princes, nobles, elite businessmen, and countless high-level intellectuals all over the world looked at and analyzed these two words.
The meaning of the word "Ankang" is very simple and very auspicious.
An, safety, stability, tranquility.
Kang, health, wealth, health.
The royal families, nobles and officials of various countries in Europe and the West breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the explanation of these two words.
Nowadays, the era name of the Ming Dynasty is chosen more randomly.
Basically, it depends on the emperor's mood to choose two auspicious characters.
These two words can usually reflect the new emperor's attitude and direction towards the future.
Although the Taiping period that just ended was not peaceful at all, the world war was to some extent initiated by the European and Western countries, and Ming Dynasty really hoped for peace.
The era with the most wars in the Ming Dynasty was the "Renwu" dynasty of Emperor Zhu Cixiang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty.
There was almost no year without fighting. In the early stage, it was an internal unification war, and in the later stage, it was a foreign war.
Most of those wars were initiated by the Ming Dynasty.
Later historians said that Emperor Shizu's benevolence was internal, while Wu's benevolence was external.
Countries other than the Ming Dynasty really don’t want the Ming Dynasty to have another era name with the word "武" in it.
If the new Ming Emperor chooses a reign title such as Shenwu or Hegemony, then the countries in Europe and the West will definitely become nervous immediately, fearing that the new emperor will start another war at any time.
Even choosing reign names with exciting and powerful connotations such as Qian Sheng and Jian Xing will make people outside the Ming Dynasty worry that the Ming Dynasty will adopt a tougher external stance.
Now the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty has chosen the simple and straightforward name of Ankang, which shows that he hopes that the Ming Dynasty will be peaceful and stable, and that the people of the Ming Dynasty will be healthy and prosperous.
I want stability and I want to make money.
Many people speculate that Zhu Jianyan deliberately chose these two words to convey his desire for stability.
Now the meaning is conveyed very well.
The world breathed a sigh of relief.
The whole world is decorating with lanterns and colorful decorations to celebrate the Spring Festival.
What follows is a worldwide holiday lasting fifteen days.
After the end of the world war, Ming Dynasty returned to its previous rhythm.
According to the rules of Emperor Chengzuwen of the Ming Dynasty, officials of the Ming Dynasty did not go to work before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
So there is no need to think about dealing with the Ming court these days.
Countries in Europe and the West can also feel completely at ease for half a month.
Under the leadership of Ming Dynasty, the entire world will enter a state of holiday or holiday.
London, England.
The first day of the first lunar month of the first year of Ankang.
In the afternoon of the Ming Dynasty, it was just dawn in London.
The British Crown Prince, Regent, and Prince of Wales, George, finally felt completely relieved after listening to the ministers' interpretation of the Ming Dynasty's new name at the cabinet meeting.
"As long as Ming Dynasty also hopes for peace..."
A meeting specially held for the New Year of the Ming Dynasty
The meeting is over.
The Prince of Wales joined his daughter, brother, and sister, and then took them to pay New Year's greetings to his father, George III, and his mother, Queen Charlotte.
The old King George III had not been completely awake since his illness last year.
Most of the time, I can be considered semi-awake, barely able to understand some things, but unable to take the initiative to do anything or respond clearly.
The rest of the time, I just kept mumbling alone and couldn't listen to anything.
Under such circumstances, it is obviously impossible to perform the duties of a king.
It would have been a warm thing for the eldest son to bring his younger brother, younger sister, and daughter to pay New Year greetings to his parents.
However, this was not the case with George III.
King George III looked up at these children.
George III's mental illness is probably related to his children.
George III and the Queen gave birth to a total of fifteen children. Except for two who died in infancy, thirteen of them became adults. This is considered a high birth rate in the world.
Among the thirteen adult children, the youngest Princess Amelia is now twenty-three years old, and the eldest George, the Prince of Wales, is forty-three years old.
However, among the thirteen children, only the eldest prince, second prince, and eldest princess were married normally.
Although the others are not single, they all have mistresses or lovers, and they are even married in private.
However, according to British royal laws, they are all unmarried, which means that their marriage and romance are not acceptable to George III and do not meet the requirements of George III.
Even for the first three children who were married normally, their respective marriage lives are completely abnormal. Currently, they are all living separately in two places and fooling around with their respective lovers and mistresses.
The Prince of Wales also left a legitimate daughter, and the others had no legitimate children.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was an old man with a family full of children, but they all wandered around without a trace. There was only one grandson who could be included in the family tree. It is unlikely that his mental state would be good.
When George III saw the children coming in, he was obviously a little excited and seemed to be a little out of control.
The Prince of Wales immediately looked at his little sister.
The frail Princess Amelia was most loved by George III, but she fell in love with a nobleman who was twenty-three years older than herself...
Historically, it was the news of Princess Amelia's death that drove George III completely crazy, and he never recovered from it.
Amelia also has a very good relationship with the king's only granddaughter and her little niece Charlotte.
Amelia immediately understood what her eldest brother meant, and immediately took her little niece Charlotte and walked quickly past everyone to say hello to her father:
"Dad, are you okay?"
Nine-year-old Charlotte leaned directly against her grandfather and reported loudly and happily:
"Grandpa, Grandpa, Charlotte is the Queen now!"
When George III saw his youngest daughter and only granddaughter, his confused expression softened significantly.
After listening to Charlotte's words, the old king seemed to realize something and said two quite complete sentences:
"Charlotte is the queen? Has your father George passed away?"
This George refers to his eldest son, the Prince of Wales.
The other brothers and sisters immediately looked at their eldest brother with suppressed laughter.
Dad is not in his right mind. He is always thinking about whether you are dead...
Charlotte has already explained to her grandfather:
"Dad is not dead. Charlotte is not the Queen of England. Charlotte is the Queen of the United States."
George III was stunned again, and asked subconsciously:
"Queen of America? Kingdom of America? We established a new kingdom in America?"
Princess Charlotte nodded naturally:
"Yes, grandpa, I will go to the United States to become queen in the future. I heard that the sunshine in the United States is very good, not as dark as London. Aunt Amelia can also go there to recuperate..."
George III looked up at the others:
"Whose idea was it to establish the Kingdom of America?"
The surrounding queens, princes, and princesses were completely stunned when they looked at George III.
Everyone found that George III could speak more smoothly and could express his thoughts normally.
Queen Charlotte was the first to react, and immediately came to her old man's side, and asked in surprise:
"My dear, are you awake? Can you understand me now?"
King George III nodded slowly:
"I... must have woken up. I feel like I'm suddenly much better. Maybe it's because little Charlotte and Amelia came over, and the Kingdom of America..."
The queen hugged her husband very excitedly.
George III patted his wife on the back and looked at the children in front of him.
Looking at their faces, seeing them standing here alone, I immediately felt filled with panic again.
He quickly shook his head and stopped thinking about those annoying things. After all, he had a granddaughter.
My granddaughter has become the Queen of the United States.
So George III asked again about the details of the Kingdom of America.
The Prince of Wales was stunned for a while before he fully accepted the fact that his father was awake again.
The Prince of Wales has a swinging character, so when faced with his father's questioning, he only spoke intermittently about what happened in the past few days.
There was basically nothing to hide, and nothing to add fuel to the fire, but he tried his best to shirk responsibility.
After hearing this, King George III nodded solemnly and said:
"Pete did a good job, the United Kingdom cannot lose the United States, but the concession is still too big.
"Let them establish a parliament, let them have their own kingdom, and arrange an independent king.
"And even if you are the king, it should be you, not the child Charlotte."
The Prince of Wales was under a lot of pressure these days. He immediately complained after hearing his father's words:
"Because you are not here, I can't control those ministers. They don't listen to me at all."
George III directly said with some hatred:
"If you can make the decision, there is always a way to make them obey you.
"You can't make your own decision, so Pete has no choice but to compromise with Fox.
"Convene the Imperial Council tomorrow... no, convene it immediately..."
The Prince of Wales said uneasily:
"What do you want to do? Do you want to revoke the Regency Act?"
George III made his decision after a very brief pause:
"I don't know how long I can stay awake if you continue to be regent of the United Kingdom.
"I just help you make some decisions, but I can't help you for too long..."
