1. [Reign Number]
There are many repetitions in the ancient calendar. They are also found in this dynasty, such as Yongle, Tianshun, and Zhengde However, the records of Wanli recorded by the late emperor are the latest and correct, and they are based on the two prime ministers of Gao and Zhang.
Up to now, the chronology of the "Republic" has already existed in the previous generation - in the last years of King Zhou Li, the people of the country rioted, the emperor fled, and the political power was held by Zhou Zhao and others, which was called the first year of the Republic.

Duke Zhao rebelled against the emperor and made an agreement with the people that if he restored his family and the world, the whole world would fight against him.

Later, this argument was used, and only the Yuan Dynasty was changed, but the country's name was still Ming Dynasty.
5. [I will be invincible tomorrow]
Since the beginning of Wanli, our dynasty has swept away the decadence of the Tang Dynasty, conquered Mobei in the north, Nanyang in the south, conquered Dongyi in the east, and conquered Europe in the west. All barbarians in the world bow their heads and proclaim themselves ministers. The prosperity of martial arts reached as far as the Han and Tang Dynasties.
In the past, the great Tang Dynasty was 9900 miles from Anyuanmen to the national border. Now our territory spans Asia, Europe, Africa and the United States. The sun and moon illuminate all the bright lands, but we don¡¯t know how far we can beat the great Tang Dynasty!

The compassionate sage was frightened and the ministers were at a loss. Wei Rensheng remained calm and composed, and issued the "Edict of Abdication" in the name of the Queen Mother, saying, "Today, the mentality of the people in the country is tending towards republicanism" and "the will of the people can be determined by destiny." How can I tolerate the honor of one surname and the likes and dislikes of the people? "I led the emperor to publicize the power of rule to the whole country and return it to all the people." ¡¯
