Chapter 191: New Year

Keeping the New Year, some people really follow the Spring Festival, so they also follow the New Year.

Some people just can't sleep.

The imperial power of the 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 Taixi countries.

The attitude of the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty towards the Taixi countries may directly affect the fate of many people.

I don't know how many people waited all night with apprehension and anticipation.

On the morning of the next day, Zhu Jianyan's enthronement ceremony was held in the Ming Dynasty.

The news of the Ming Dynasty's change to "Ankang" was announced to the world at noon.

All of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, as well as all the countries with which they had established official ties, received a telegram of notification from the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty.

The staff who received the telegram immediately sent the telegram to the top level of the country.

In almost all of the Tessie countries, a small cabinet meeting and a royal reminiscence were held at once.

Countless princes, nobles and elite businessmen all over the world, as well as countless high-level intellectuals, looked at these two words together and analyzed these two words.

The meaning of the word "Ankang" is very simple and very auspicious.

Peace, security, stability, tranquility.

Health, health, abundance, health.

The royal families, nobles, and officials of the Taixi countries were relieved to hear the explanation of these two words.

Now the era name of the Ming Dynasty is more arbitrary.

Basically, it is to choose two auspicious words depending on the mood of the emperor.

These two words usually reflect the attitude and direction of the new emperor towards the future.

Although the just ended Taiping period was not peaceful at all, the world war was provoked by the Taixi countries to some extent, and the Ming Dynasty really hoped that it would be peaceful.

The era when the Ming Dynasty fought the most wars was the "Renwu" Dynasty of Zhu Cihong, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty.

There is hardly a year without war, the early stage is an internal unification war, and the later stage is a foreign war.

Most of those wars were provoked by the Ming Dynasty.

Later historians have said that Emperor Shizu's benevolence is internal, and martial arts is external.

Other countries other than Daming really don't want Daming to have another era name with the word "Wu".

If the new Ming Emperor chooses an era name such as Shenwu and Hegemony, then the Taixi countries will definitely become nervous immediately, worried that the new emperor will start another war at any time.

Even if the era names of Qiansheng and Jianxing are selected with exciting and powerful meanings, people outside the Ming Dynasty will worry that the Ming Dynasty will adopt a tougher external posture.

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 can be peaceful and stable, and that the people of the Ming Dynasty can be healthy and prosperous.

I want stability, I want to make money.

Many people speculate that Zhu Jianyan deliberately chose these two words to convey his hope for stability.

Now this meaning is well conveyed.

The whole world breathed a sigh of relief.

The whole world is celebrating the Spring Festival with lights.

This was followed by a long 15-day holiday around the world.

After the end of the world war, Daming resumed its previous rhythm.

According to the rules of Emperor Cheng Zuwen of the Ming Dynasty, Ming officials did not go to work before the fifteenth day of the first month.

So there's no need to think about dealing with the Ming court these days.

Tessie countries can also be completely relieved for half a month.

Driven by Daming, the whole world will enter a state of vacation or vacation.

London.

The first day of the first month of the first year of Ankang.

In the afternoon, it was just dawn in London.

George, the Crown Prince of England, Regent, and Prince of Wales, listened to the minister's interpretation of the Ming New Year name at the cabinet meeting, and finally completely relieved his heart.

"As long as the Ming Dynasty also wants peace......

A meeting specially held for the Ming New Year

The meeting is over.

The Prince of Wales joined his daughter, brother and sister and took them to pay New Year's greetings to his father, George III, and mother, Queen Charlotte.

The elder King George III has not been fully awake since he fell ill last year.

Most of the time, you can be considered semi-awake, barely able to understand something, but you can't take the initiative to do anything, you can't make a clear response.

The rest of the time, it's just a person babbling, and you can't listen to anything.

In this case, it is obvious that there is no way to fulfill the duties of the king.

It was originally a relatively warm thing for the eldest son to bring his younger brother, sister, and daughter to his parents to greet the New Year.

However, not in the presence of George III.

George III looked at the kids and went up.

George III's mental illness is likely to be related to his children.

George III and the Queen had a total of fifteen children, and all but two died young, thirteen of them were adults, which is considered a high degree of fertility 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, the second prince, and the eldest princess are married normally.

Although the others are not single, they all have mistresses or mistresses, and even get married in private.

But in terms of British royal law, they are both unmarried, that is, their marriage and romance cannot be accepted by George III, and neither meets George III's requirements.

Even the first three children who are married normally have completely abnormal married lives, and they are all currently living separately and fooling around with their respective mistresses and mistresses.

The Prince of Wales also left behind a legitimate daughter, none of whom the others had any legitimate children.

In Daming, an old man is full of children, but all of them are fooling around in tune, and there is only one grandchild who can enter the family tree, and this mental state is unlikely to be good.

When George III watched the children come in, his spirit was obviously a little excited, and he seemed to have a tendency to lose 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 when the news of Princess Amelia's death came that George III went completely insane and never recovered.

Amelia also had a good relationship with the king's only granddaughter, her little niece, Charlotte.

Amelia immediately understood what her eldest brother meant, and immediately pulled her little niece Charlotte to walk quickly past everyone and go to say hello to her father:

"Dad, are you okay?"

Nine-year-old Charlotte leaned directly to her grandfather and reported aloud with great joy:

"Grandpa, grandpa, Charlotte is now the queen!"

When George III saw his youngest daughter and only granddaughter, his confused expression softened significantly.

Listening to Charlotte's words, the old king seemed to realize something, and uttered two rather complete sentences:

"Charlotte is the Queen? Has your father, George, died?"

This George refers to his eldest son, the Prince of Wales.

The other siblings immediately looked at their eldest brother with a smile.

Daddy is not mentally normal, and he thinks about whether you are dead or not......

Charlotte had already explained to her grandfather:

"Daddy isn't dead, Charlotte is not the Queen of England, Charlotte is the Queen of the United States."

George III was stunned for a moment, and at the same time subconsciously asked rhetorically:

"The Queen of America? Kingdom of America? We have established a new kingdom in America?"

Princess Charlotte nodded as a matter of course:

"Yes, grandpa, I'm going to be a queen in the United States in the future, I heard that the sunshine in the United States is very good, not as dark as London, and 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 looked at George III and were completely stunned for a moment.

Everyone found that George III spoke smoothly and could express his thoughts normally.

Queen Charlotte was the first to react, and immediately approached her old man's side, and asked in surprise:

"Honey, are you awake? Can you understand me now?"

George III nodded slowly:

"I...... I think I'm sober, I feel like I'm feeling a lot better all of a sudden, probably because little Charlotte and Amelia are here, and this American kingdom ......."

The queen hugged her husband with great emotion.

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 panicked again.

Hurriedly shook his head and didn't think about those troublesome things, he had a granddaughter after all.

Her granddaughter has become the queen of the United States.

So George III again asked about the details of the Kingdom of America.

The Prince of Wales was stunned for a moment before he fully accepted the fact that his father was sober again.

The Prince of Wales was originally a swaying character, and in the face of his father's inquiries, he intermittently talked about the events of these days.

There is basically nothing to hide, and there is nothing to add fuel and vinegar, but the effort is to shirk responsibility.

After hearing this, George III nodded solemnly and said:

"Pitt did a good job, the United Kingdom can't afford to lose the United States, but the concessions are still too big.

"Let them establish a council, let them have their own kingdom, and arrange for an independent king.

"And even if it's the king, it should be you, not Charlotte's child."

The Prince of Wales is under a lot of pressure these days, and when he heard his father's words, he immediately complained:

"Because you're not here, I can't control those ministers, they don't listen to me at all."

George III directly said with some hatred of the sky:

"If you can make a decision, there's always a way to get them to obey you.

"You can't make up your own mind, so Pete has to compromise with Fawkes.

"Tomorrow the Imperial Council will be convened...... No, call ...... right away."

The Prince of Wales said with some trepidation:

"What are you going to do?" Do you want to drop the regency case?"

After a very brief period of silence, George III made his decision:

"You continue to be regent of the United Kingdom, and I don't know how long you can stay awake.

"I'm just helping you make some decisions, but I can't help you for long......
