16th Year of Zhengyong.
January 15th.
At the annual New Year's celebration, Emperor Zhengyong personally appeared, rejoicing with the people.
That night, the entire Capital City left their doors unlocked, lights shining as bright as day, celebrating throughout the night.
The whole Capital City and its people were immersed in a sea of joy.
Yet the next day, a Holy Decree was issued by the Cabinet.
By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: I, blessed by the heavens, rule over the world, diligently and tirelessly striving to expand the ancestral legacy. Prince Chengji, with his natural intelligence and virtuous conduct, known for his integrity and filial piety, is established as Crown Prince and shall reside in the Eastern Palace.
