'''Yechi HaMelech''', or in its extended form '''Yechi Adoneinu Moreinu V'Rabbeinu Melech HaMoshiach L'olam Va'ed''', ('''Long live our master, our teacher and our rabbi king moshiach forever and ever''') is a declaration that was accepted by Chabad Chassidim in the seventh generation with the Rebbe's approval and encouragement, as a declaration of accepting [[the Rebbe]]'s kingship as Melech HaMoshiach (King Messiah). The Rebbe explained that this declaration, said at the time of coronation, expresses the depth of connection between the people and the king to the extent that the king depends on the people who proclaim "Yechi HaMelech" - adding life to the king, and that the content of the declaration is that the time for Moshiach's coming has arrived and to hasten Moshiach's coming.

Later that night, many danced in the street near the house singing "Yechi Adoneinu Moreinu V'Rabbeinu," and hundreds of students and Chassidim proclaimed "Yechi HaMelech," "Yechi HaMelech HaMoshiach" and similar phrases. During a private audience with wealthy donors that took place the next day, on 3 Nissan 5748 in the small hall, R' Chaim Goldberg said to the Rebbe "Yechi HaMelech" and the Rebbe responded to his words by answering: "Amen." On 4 Nissan 5748, as the Rebbe was leaving to go to his home, the student Elchanan Mishulovin proclaimed the declaration "Yechi HaMelech" three times, with the crowd responding "Yechi" after him, and the Rebbe raised his holy hand in a gesture of encouragement. The back cover of two volumes of notes and explanations of the students of Ohalei Torah published for 11 Nissan 5748 was adorned with the declaration: "Yechi HaMelech L'olam" (Long live the King forever). During a general audience held on 9 Sivan 5748, one of the women passed by and proclaimed: "Yechi HaMelech HaMoshiach," and the Rebbe replied: "Amen, soon," and then blessed her: "Blessing and success." During the distribution of dollars on 11 Nissan 5749 (1989), one of those passing by proclaimed before the Rebbe: "Yechi HaMelech HaMoshiach" and the Rebbe blessed him with a smile on his face: "Good tidings."

In addition,  the back cover of two volumes of the Kovetz Heoros which was published a few days later, by students from Yeshiva Oholei Torah, in honor of the Rebbes Birthday on 11 Nissan 5748, was adorned with the declaration: "Yechi HaMelech L'olam" (Long live the King forever).

A broad, worldwide initiative was planned following the talk by Rabbi Shmuel Fromer and Rabbi Zimroni Tzik, whereby during Moshiach's meals throughout the world, they would review the content of the Rebbe's talk and proclaim "Yechi HaMelech." The initiative began to move quickly, received the agreement of many rabbis and emissaries, and it appeared that it would be implemented, until a certain emissary arose and acted to cancel and torpedo the plan. By Divine Providence, that same emissary received a huge donation from an inheritance in those days. The next day, on 19 Nissan 5748, the Rebbe delivered a talk in which he expressed with pain and sharpness about those who pour cold water on a tired soul that clamors about Moshiach's coming and proclaims that Moshiach must come, etc., when those who cool things down claim that it will harm and disturb their rest and their spreading of the wellsprings with wealth, etc. Those who were familiar with the secret of the matters felt that the words were directed (also) towards this event.

In the years that followed, on 2 Nissan 5749 and 5750, they sang in the Rebbe's presence when he entered for prayers "Yechi Adoneinu Moreinu V'Rabbeinu" in connection with this talk that the Rebbe delivered on this date.

Following this talk, all activities to bring Moshiach gained new momentum, including the instruction regarding the proclamation of "Yechi HaMelech" and its meaning: accepting the Rebbe's kingship as Melech HaMoshiach.

In a two-page report about the founding meeting of the World Headquarters for Bringing Moshiach, it was written in enlarged letters: "Yechi HaMelech, the honorable Admor Shlita, Melech HaMoshiach forever and ever," and the Rebbe's response on the report on 4 Iyar 5751 was: "All that is attached - I will mention at the Tziyun."

On Friday, Erev Parshat Tazria-Metzora, R' David Nachshon brought a bottle of mashke to the Rebbe's secretariat to receive it at the Shabbat farbrengen, for farbrengens about accepting the kingship (a note was attached to the bottle stating this purpose).

On the night of Shabbat Kodesh, the eve of 6 Iyar 5751, the Rebbe encouraged the singing of "Sisu V'Simchu B'Simchat HaGeulah" on his way out from the evening prayers. Afterward, Rabbi David Nachshon urged the crowd to add the words "Yechi Adoneinu Moreinu V'Rabbeinu Melech HaMoshiach L'olam Va'ed" to this melody, and the dancing with these words continued for a long time, even at the Shalom Zachors held that night throughout Crown Heights.

The next day at the farbrengen, at the end of the fourth sicha, the Rebbe mentioned as usual that now they would come up from below and announce the details (and this time the Rebbe added another section that was not said in previous Shabbats:) and this publication is done throughout the entire world, extending to all the order of hishtalshelut, and we merit to hear the announcement that "Behold, this one (Moshiach) is coming." At the conclusion of the distribution, R' David Nachshon, R' Avi Taub, and R' Shmarya Harel approached to receive the bottle of mashke. The Rebbe poured them about half a cup of mashke (more than usual), and then R' David Nachshon announced (content): "This mashke will be used for activities to accept the Rebbe's kingship. Following the rulings of rabbis and batei din that the time of redemption has arrived and that the Rebbe is Melech HaMoshiach who must be revealed and redeem the Jewish people, we therefore proclaim (and he proclaimed for the first time in the Rebbe's presence): "'''Yechi Adoneinu Moreinu V'Rabbeinu Melech HaMoshiach L'olam Va'ed!'''" after which the crowd repeated the proclamation: "Yechi!" and so alternately three times. During the proclamation, a smile spread across the Rebbe's face.
