In the year 1319 of the New Yu Era, which was three years ago, Yuwen Hongzhang, having just emerged from seclusion, once again announced a closed-door retreat, inviting all the Holy Lands to Great Jin to witness the ceremony where he officially passed the throne to Yuwen Dongdu.
Yuwen Dongdu had officially ascended to the throne only three years ago, but since he had already been regent for over four hundred years, the current prosperity of Great Jin was undeniably tied to him.
He had governed Great Jin for more than four hundred years, and the people of the three states within its borders had already completely integrated. Since Great Jin had been established on the fifteenth day of the first month of the seventh year of the New Yu Era, Yuwen Hongzhang made the Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month the New Year's holiday.
