On the 1st month of the first year of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Xing, the new emperor of the Han Dynasty, accepted Liu Bian's abdication in the imperial palace in Chang'an City, and officially took over the national seal symbolizing the Han Dynasty from Liu Bian, and since then embarked on a magnificent road of unifying the world.

The unification of the world by Emperor Xinghe not only refers to the unification of the land of China, which was originally lived by the Han people, but refers to the wider boundless world.

The new emperor's name is "Xinghe", which means "Xingsheng and Heshun". From then on, the year of the Han calendar will no longer be issued, but they are all based on a certain year of the Han calendar. For example, the year of Zhao Xing ascended the throne was the first year of Xinghe. If he followed his promise that he was only preparing to serve as the emperor for twenty years, then the time when Zhao Zhenbang ascended the throne was the 21st year of the Han calendar. Zhao Zhenbang could give himself a new imperial title, such as "Yanxing" and "Shunhe", and concisely declare his ideas after he came to power to the world.

One of the biggest benefits of doing this is that it is easy for the people to remember and calculate, and also facilitates historians to record major historical events. The longer the time, the more it will show the longevity and strength of the empire, and it has the effect of uniting people's hearts and inspiring fighting spirit. If the Han Empire, which was improved by Emperor Xinghe, could be passed down for thousands of years, then how proud and glorious the Han people would be when they talk about their country thousands of years later.

The entire abdication ceremony was simple and enthusiastic, with less religious colors of pretending to be gods and ghosts, and more people-oriented human glory. After Zhao Xing ascended the throne, he did not pay any sacrifices to heaven and earth, he did not pay much rewards, and he did not build a lot of construction. Later, he was called the "three no" emperor by his interested historians. According to Zhao Xing's requirements, it is strictly forbidden to appear as a nonsense in various paper manuscripts and the remarks of the people in the future. The emperor is the emperor, and he was raised by his father and mother, not the son of God!

Zhao Xing's original words said: "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are straw dogs. I was obviously born and raised by my father Zhao Si and my mother Li. What does it have to do with the thief God? Everyone in this world is flesh and blood, and no one is the son of the unkind God!"

The emperor said that God was not merciful and had no human flesh and blood feelings, which was equivalent to pulling himself off the altar. It was a heavy blow to those sects that advocated the divine authority of the monarch and the divine nagging. In the future, anyone who dared to call himself "the true emperor" would be sentenced to the crime of "confusing the public and making misconduct" and would be imprisoned or even beheaded for life.

The reason is very simple. Since someone advocates that he is the spokesperson of a great god and immortal on earth, I will capture you and even behead him to see if the gods and God behind you will appear and save you!

Although the ceremony for the new emperor ascends the throne is very simple, the series of policies issued continuously after the new emperor ascends the throne is very satisfying and has won warm welcome and support from hundreds of millions of people all over the world.

First, the new emperor announced to the world that there were no more slaves in the Han territory, and all people were citizens, and all citizens were equal and enjoyed the protection of the "Character of the Han Dynasty" and the "Code of the Han Dynasty". Of course, except for those criminals who may endanger the safety of the Han Dynasty, these people have no political freedom, must be subject to labor and supervision, and cannot obtain citizenship for life.

Secondly, the New Emperor stipulated that any form of population transaction was strictly prohibited in the territory of the Han Dynasty. Even if the labor force imported from other countries into the Han Dynasty did not enjoy the nationality of the Han Dynasty, it still needed to pay labor remuneration to it and not be traded or killed at will.

Again, the new emperor signed a special amnesty order, and released the criminals who were imprisoned for crimes such as evading corvee, resisting taxes and taxes, and resisting oppression and exploitation of aristocratic families. Other criminals who involved murder, robbery and other evil things were not tolerated. After a retrial, those who should be beheaded should be deprived of their freedom for life will be deprived of their freedom.

These three measures of the new emperor's appointment were vigorously promoted by the "Dahan Zhengbao" and some local newspapers, and were immediately supported by the people at the bottom of society. Everyone cherishes the treatment of Han citizens very much. It is not only a symbol of equal status, but also the most respectable gift given to ordinary people by Emperor Xinghe.

Ten days after Emperor Xinghe ascended the throne, an inauguration ceremony was held on the square of several newly built important buildings in Chang'an City, allowing the public to visit.

First, in front of the office building of the Government Council, Premier Liu Yu, holding the newly revised and printed "The Charter of the Han Dynasty" in his hand, and swore to the Emperor Zhao Xing, who came to preside over the inauguration ceremony, expressing his willingness to contribute his wisdom and strength to the prosperity and strength of the Han Empire and never betray the country and nation. Then several deputy prime ministers and more than a dozen ministers under the Government Council held the Charter of the Han Dynasty and swore to the emperor under the auspices of Liu Yu.

Next, similar oath-inauguration ceremonies were held in front of the office buildings of the Legislative Yuan, the Procuratorate and the Judicial Court. Emperor Zhao Xing also presided over and accepted the oaths from the relevant main responsible persons.

During the four oath ceremonies, reporters sent by Dahan Zhengbao and other newspapers, historians who were specifically responsible for recording, representatives of the rituals sent by various states and representatives of mass from all walks of life watched, witnessing this historic moment that would surely be glorious for the ages.

During these four ceremonies, the imperial emperor Zhao Xing played not the role of "the emperor", but represented all the citizens of the Han Dynasty and the empire itself, which was a huge progress. Zhao Xing did this, which was equivalent to conveying to the people of the world the meaning of "the world is the world of the world", and completely denied the statement that "all the world is the king's land, and all the king's ministers are the kings in the world."

In the future, the position of emperor of the Han Empire will be more of a noble honor, because he represents the Han Dynasty. Although the power seized by the emperor was voluntarily handed over to the people by Zhao Xing, there is no doubt that the position of the emperor will be more stable, because the emperor has now become the role of an arbiter between the government and ordinary people.

If you want to take it, you must give it first. Zhao Xing's practice of handing over more than half of the power in the emperor's hands was exchanged for safer and more stable imperial power, which is of great significance to the long-term stability of the empire.

In the future, Zhao Xing only needs to listen to the voices of the Han citizens and supervise the operation of the Fourth Court. Once the people express strong dissatisfaction with a certain aspect, Zhao Xing can adjust and ease social conflicts by replacing officials of the certain court. If officials of each court want to stay in a high position, they must work diligently to the country and the people, otherwise they will be impeached and eventually fired by the emperor.

Although Zhao Xing's "four-no-like" constitutional monarchy system was different from the political system of any country in later generations, it left many room and links for future generations to improve.

In other words, Zhao Xing laid a very solid and huge national foundation for the empire. In the future, people only need to repair it on it, without completely subverting the country through violent and bloody means.

The simplest example is that Zhao Xing's ascension was carried out on the basis of peaceful abdication. The previous emperors of the Liu family and descendants of the royal family were retained. Then even if Zhao Xing's descendants were unable to represent the empire thousands of years later, the newly appointed emperor must consider the wishes of the Han citizens and would never dare to kill Zhao Xing's descendants.

As for the fact that an emperor of a different surname takes office and wants to overthrow the system set by Zhao Xing afterwards, it is tantamount to self-determination in the world. Because the reason why he was able to take office is based on the system set by Zhao Xing.
