First Year of Yuan Chu, October 15.
Sunny with scattered clouds.
According to historical records, Advanced Scholar Liu Ji from Kaiyang County, Zijing Mansion, led ninety thousand residents of the Capital City to the streets to request the ascension of the Heavenly Empress.
They were followed by the Princess who Guards the Country, envoys from various nations, and the court officials of the dynasty.
Over ten thousand people from half the Capital City gathered under the Palace, led by Advanced Scholar Liu Ji from Kaiyang County, calling in unison for the Heavenly Empress to ascend the throne.
Emperor Yuan Chu heard the news and, humbly resigning as Prince, ceded the throne to the Heavenly Holy Mother Empress.
The Heavenly Empress declined three times, reluctant to oppose the wishes of the Sheng Country's people.
Thus, on the first day of November, she established an altar to offer sacrifices to Heaven, donned the Yellow Robe, and ascended the throne to become Emperor.
