With a unified plan in place, progress sped up considerably. The Cao and Sun faction, worried about Liu Bei's ascension, were eager for Princess Wannian to quickly assume regency, while Liu Yu, fearing rebellion from Cao and Sunx, needed someone to mediate and take charge. Meanwhile, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang were indifferent to the proceedings.
However, their lack of obstruction was the biggest catalyst, naturally rendering the matter a fait accompli. Originally expected to last twenty-five years, the Jian'an Era in this age lasted only two, coming to a halt even before the third year began.
After the Grand Princess assumed regency, Chen Xi formally requested the establishment of a new era name. Truth be told, Chen Xi did this so that when future historians recorded this period, it would be documented with a complete era designation, viewing the significant events of this time from a constitutional perspective.
