The Crowning of the Emperor
The Imperial Palace
He glanced outside the window, at the crowds below. His assistant smiled, and then trying to reassure Hui, said "Don't worry, this is a day that will live or forever." Hui gave a small chuckle, and then preceded to straighten his clothes, and gave a sigh. "But after the recent hostilities between us and the Republic, will the world want this?" The assistant frowned for a moment, but then went on, "Of course they will, he have already have obtained support from across the world." He finally gave a sigh of relief, those words meant everything. He stood there for a moment, going over the speech he was about to give in his head when the door at the back room opened, and a small elderly man walked in.
They stood face to face for a moment, before bowing in respect to each other. as his head bobbed up, the elder announced, "It is time." Hui glanced one more time out the window, looking at the people he will have to govern. "Go, your people need a proper ruler." He grabbed a glass of water, drinking it down, and laid his papers with the speech written on them on the table, and walked toward the balcony. He paused for a moment, before throwing the doors open, hearing a large applause. The man walked swiftly behind him, and stood at his right on the balcony. "Citizens of the great land of Nanjing, I give you your new emperor!"
The crowd yelled and applauded once again, and after dying down all eyes rested on Hui. After a few second, he addressed the nation,
Speech said:
Citizens of Nanjing, I am here to address of a monumental achievement our great nation achieved. I have always been your emperor yes? But have I been the emperor of China, and made you citizens of China? No, I have not. But today, after much deliberation my advisers and I have decided it is time a new government for all of China be set up. A government, you shall be part of. A government, that will unify this war-torn land.
China has not seen a stable government in decades, due to outside invasion, plague, and internal war. But I promise you that as citizens of the "New China" you shall live in peace and prosperity, and not have to worry about your own life. We shall bring peace, we are the ones to end of the strife. We will establish a new China that will remain glorious for centuries to come. We are China. Citizens, you are no longer a Nanjing city-state citizen, you are now a citizen of Xīn China.
With that, the emperor raised his arms to the sky, as the crowd once more celebrated, celebrating, their new country.
tl;dr version: Emperor gave big speech. Nanjing is now Xīn China.
