...
Year 13256 of the Great Zhou Calendar.
Emperor Wu of Zhou, Li Wuji, held an abdication ceremony in the Great Zhou Capital, and Crown Prince Li Chang'an ascended the throne, becoming the new Emperor of the Great Zhou.
This year, Li Chang'an was twenty years old.
The day after ascending the throne, Li Chang'an announced a military expansion. The entire nation of Great Zhou was immediately plunged into an atmosphere of impending crisis.
He was not like the "fake emperor," Emperor Wu of Zhou. Throughout the entire Royal Family, aside from Li Lin, who was barely qualified, no one dared to utter a single word of nonsense in his presence.
Li Chang'an's ascension to the throne was, one might say, a momentous event on the Jiuzhou Continent.
Yet, this year was simply filled with far too many such events.
