Q:Extract the answer to the question from the following context. Question: What happened on the 17th day of the 4th month of the year? Context: Ferdinand refused and went to Valencia instead of Madrid. Here, on 17 April, General Elio invited the King to reclaim his absolute rights and put his troops at the King's disposition. The king abolished the Constitution of 1812. He followed this act by dissolving the two chambers of the Spanish Parliament on 10 May. Thus began six years (1814–1820) of absolutist rule, but the constitution was reinstated during the Trienio Liberal, a period of three years of liberal government in Spain from 1820–1823.
A:
General Elio invited the King to reclaim his absolute rights and put his troops at the King's disposition
