Chapter 144 Yongle

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the third day after the Jingnan Army entered the capital, Prince Yan refused several attempts to ascend the throne and received no consent from his ministers, so he reluctantly ascended the throne in the imperial city and became emperor. Since Emperor Jianwen died by self-immolation in the Fengtian Hall, the Fengtian Hall was burned down, and the coronation ceremony was held inside the Fengtian Gate. Zhu Gaoxu followed the royal family, nobles, generals and ministers to watch the ceremony.
