You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

Chapter 315 Did they leave?
Outside Luoyang City.

Wen Qingwu stood suspended in mid-air, gazing in the direction of the palace, somewhat lost in thought.

Originally, Wen Qingwu wanted Zhou Wudao to become the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, hoping to leverage the special national destiny to help Zhou Wudao grow rapidly.

But now it seems that her plan is impossible.

With Lu Bu, Cao Zhengchun, and other powerful experts around, even if Wen Qingwu wanted to use force, she wouldn't have much of a chance.

This is also why Wen Qingwu chose to leave Cining Palace directly just now.

Otherwise, given Wen Qingwu's temperament as a reincarnated person, she would have already taken action directly, without needing to waste time on unnecessary words.

After all, in the eyes of people like Wen Qingwu who have been reincarnated, whoever has the biggest fist can dominate everything.

All those rules and regulations about imperial power are just for the benefit of the strong.

If you are strong enough, even emperors and kings will have to bow down.

"Mother concubine."

Zhou Wudao, who was following behind Wen Qingwu, called out.

"Let's go!"

Wen Qingwu withdrew her gaze and said nothing more.

Now, this world has basically been integrated with the Wilderness Realm. The Great Zhou is just a small part of the land. The Wilderness Realm is very large and vast. Even without the national fortune of the Great Zhou, a reincarnated powerhouse like Wen Qingwu would still have a way to help Zhou Wudao grow rapidly.

The fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty was merely an opportunity, not the only one.

Since Wen Qingwu was not confident that Zhou Wudao could ascend the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she had no choice but to leave with him.

Zhou Wudao didn't say anything more, but silently left with Wen Qingwu.

However, as Zhou Wudao left, he took a deep look in the direction of the palace.

……

royal palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen's gaze was thoughtful.

To be honest, Zhou Chen's inner world was not as calm as it appeared on the surface when he was in Cining Palace.

The sudden reappearance of one's biological mother, who had been dead for over twenty years, would be unsettling for anyone.

Even Emperor Zhou Chen was no exception; he could not escape the seven emotions and six desires of the secular world.

Although this Zhou Chen is not the same Zhou Chen as before, Zhou Chen was still affected by emotions.

What Zhou Chen least expected was that his birth mother actually wanted him to relinquish the throne and let another son succeed him.

This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.

Zhou Chen even began to doubt whether his body was actually Wen Qingwu's biological child.

If he were her biological son, why would Wen Qingwu treat him so differently from Zhou Wudao?

However, when Zhou Chen thought about how he and Zhou Wudao looked exactly alike, he found the suspicion somewhat ridiculous.

Whether this body belongs to Wen Qingwu or not, the fact that it is identical to Zhou Wudao's is the best proof.

"His Majesty."

At this moment, Cao Zhengchun and Lü Bu, along with several others, entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"They left?"

Zhou Chen snapped out of his thoughts, glanced at Cao Zhengchun and Lü Bu, and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"They left the palace and also left Luoyang."

Cao Zhengchun and the others naturally knew who Zhou Chen was asking about.

Therefore, Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed and replied.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen pondered for a moment and said, "If I am not mistaken, the destruction of Tianshan City is probably related to them."

"These next few days, you all need to be careful and not cause any trouble." Zhou Chen glanced at Lü Bu, Cao Shaoqin, and Cao Youxiang.

Previously, the destruction of Tianshan City was a mystery to Zhou Chen.

But now that Wen Qingwu has appeared, Zhou Chen guesses that the destruction of Tianshan City may have been caused by Wen Qingwu.

The reasons are self-evident.

"According to the order."

Cao Zhengchun, Lü Bu, and the others bowed and accepted the order.

They all understood what Emperor Zhou Chen meant.

Although Wen Qingwu and the others have now left Luoyang, no one can guarantee that Wen Qingwu will let the matter rest.

If Wen Qingwu is still unwilling to give up and still wants Zhou Wudao to succeed her, that would not be a good thing for the Great Zhou.

After all, even a city like Tianshan, which had always been detached from worldly affairs, was destroyed by Wen Qingwu, which shows how ruthless Wen Qingwu is.

……

Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager, Prince Zhou Xian (Eighth Prince), and Prince Zhou Zhan (King of the Mountain) remained silent.

None of them expected that Consort Zhen, Wen Qingwu, who had committed suicide by sword in the Golden Palace more than 20 years ago, was actually alive.

They never expected that Wen Qingwu would suddenly appear and actually want to replace Emperor Zhou Chen with Zhou Wudao, who had been taken away by his master's family years ago.

This series of events has left the Empress Dowager, Prince Zhou Xian (Eighth Prince), and Prince Zhou Zhan (Prince of Kao Shan) still somewhat bewildered.

"Empress Dowager, didn't Consort Zhen commit suicide by sword in the Golden Palace back then? So why is she doing this now..."

Prince Zhou Zhan looked at the Empress Dowager.

Back then, King Zhou Zhan of Kao Shan was not in Luoyang, but was stationed in the southern border region.

Therefore, Zhou Zhan, the Prince of Kao Shan, did not know the specifics about Consort Zhen's suicide by sword.

The Empress Dowager frowned and said, "Many members of the royal family witnessed Consort Zhen committing suicide by sword in the Golden Palace back then, so there is no mistake about it."

"However, everything that happened to Consort Zhen afterward was handled by His Majesty, and I am not aware of it."

The Queen Mother shook her head.

The Empress Dowager was also completely baffled by Wen Qingwu, the Consort Zhen who had been resurrected more than 20 years ago.

The Eighth Prince Zhou Xian spoke up, "The reason for this matter is no longer important. What is important is whether Consort Zhen will give up now."

"If Consort Zhen is still unwilling to give up and still wants His Majesty to abdicate the throne, it will cause considerable trouble for the Great Zhou and the court."

Upon hearing this, Prince Zhou Zhan nodded in agreement; "Indeed, if Consort Zhen does not give up, there will be considerable trouble."

"Moreover, His Majesty's harem is currently empty and he has no heir, which is not conducive to the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"His Majesty should be allowed to take concubines and hold a selection of consorts as soon as possible to produce a prince and stabilize the state of the Great Zhou."

"I am the Prince of Kao Shan," Zhou Zhan said solemnly.

Now, the Great Zhou Dynasty faces not only the trouble that Consort Wen Qingwu might bring, but also the potential trouble from the merged Wilderness Realm.

If what Consort Zhen said before was true, then no one knows what kind of situation the Great Zhou will face next.

Therefore, it is imperative to establish the foundation of the nation and stabilize the country as soon as possible.

The only thing lacking now to establish the foundation of the state and stabilize the nation is the emperor's harem and offspring.

Once the emperor establishes his harem and has a son, the foundation of the Great Zhou dynasty is established, and the country is secure.

The Empress Dowager and the Eighth Prince Zhou Xian both nodded when they heard what the Prince of Kao Shan said.

Given the unpredictable situation that will arise after this extraordinary celestial phenomenon, it is imperative that the emperor selects concubines and has a son as soon as possible to ensure the stability of the Great Zhou dynasty.

Otherwise, if something were to happen to Emperor Zhou Chen...

The outcome for the Great Zhou was predictable.
