Everyone knew that if this matter was leaked, especially to the current queen, what would she think and what would she do?

Yun Luo could disdain the position of queen.

It doesn't mean that other people will be like this.

There are many people who will do anything to gain power and status!

"We will never say a word to anyone." Everyone promised.

……

After the emperor returned to the palace, he locked himself in his bedroom and refused to see anyone who came to see him.

He didn't even go to court.

He locked himself in there for three days and three nights.

On the third night, a large group of people knelt outside the temple.

The Second Prince suddenly stood up and walked to the door: "If you don't open the door, I will kick it! I will count to three!"

"one!"

"two!"

At this moment, the second prince was really afraid that his brother would starve to death in there.

Just as the word "three" was about to come out of his mouth, the door of the bedroom opened with a creaky sound, and the emperor slowly walked out...

"hiss……"

"emperor……"

"Your Majesty, what are you doing..."

Everyone at the scene, including the concubines and officials in the harem, were so frightened that they either became incoherent, or knelt on the ground not daring to look up, or were stunned and unable to utter a word.

The Second Prince rushed forward, stared at the Emperor's bald head, and roared in excitement: "What are you doing!"

The emperor clasped his hands together and slightly closed his eyes: "Amitabha. From today on, you are the emperor, and I am just an ordinary monk."

"I do not accept!"

"Amitabha, whether you accept it or not is up to you. I cannot force you." After saying that, the emperor slowly walked away while chanting Amitabha.

Everyone didn't know what to do and could only follow from a distance, no one dared to step forward to stop it.

In this way, he followed the emperor all the way to the Huguo Temple.

When the emperor knocked on the temple door, the first ray of sunlight of the day slowly rose from the east and shone on the emperor.

The emperor was not wearing a cassock, but the golden sunlight falling on him looked like a cassock with infinite magical powers.

The young monk who opened the door saw this and ran back shouting, "Abbot, Abbot, the Bodhisattva has appeared."

Soon, all the monks from the Huguo Temple gathered at the door.

It was the abbot who recognized the emperor at a glance, and then saw a large group of nobles following the emperor, and hurriedly brought everyone in the temple to welcome the emperor.

"I didn't know that the emperor was coming. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you. Please, emperor..."

Emperor: "I am not the Emperor. The Emperor is behind me."

The Second Prince, who was standing behind the Emperor, took a deep breath, and then another deep breath.

God knows how much he wanted to ask someone to invite Yun Luo over at this moment!

Perhaps at this moment, only by calling Yun Luo here can there be a glimmer of hope for the emperor to change his mind.

But when he thought that doing so would expose Yun Luo's identity and bring her fatal disaster, the Second Prince held back.

"You have already sent me here, and our worldly ties should be over now. Everyone, go back." The emperor walked into the Huguo Temple, walked towards the main hall step by step, then sat cross-legged in front of the Buddha statue, closed his eyes and began to chant Amitabha.

Seeing that there was really no other way, the Second Prince could only ask all the ministers to go back, leaving only a few concubines in the Huguo Temple to persuade the emperor.

Because there was such a big commotion the night before, the next day almost everyone in the capital knew that the emperor had become a monk.

Su Yunluo naturally knew it too.

Su Yunluo was just about to go out to take a look when Bai Wei hurried over.

He grabbed her and said, "Sister Yunluo, the Second Prince asked me to tell you that the Emperor has become a monk. You must be very anxious, but you must not go to the Huguo Temple at the moment. There are too many people there and if you are seen by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences will be serious. Once he has made arrangements, he will definitely send you there."

Su Yunluo: "Send me there? Why do you want to send me there?"

I went out just to confirm whether the news was true.

If it is confirmed to be true, she will ask her family to cook a few more dishes and have a good drink at noon.

Bai Wei looked bewildered: "Sister Yunluo, don't you want to go and persuade the emperor?"

Su Yunluo: "What's there to persuade? He is an adult. If he wants to become a monk, then he can do so. It's his freedom."

"But……"

"Besides, he must have thought of everything before he became a monk, even shaved his hair, which shows how determined he is. We should respect his decision." After Su Yunluo finished speaking, he let Bai Wei stay for lunch.

At first, Bai Wei was a little skeptical about whether Sister Yunluo was sincere in what she said, until she saw the unusually sumptuous lunch, she completely believed it.

Half a month later, the Second Prince brought Bai Wei to see Su Yunluo: "Yunluo, the ladies have been trying to persuade our brother for more than half a month, but they all came back yesterday. It seems that they really can't persuade him. Now, we can only rely on you."

Su Yunluo: "Don't rely on me. I can't persuade you, and I don't want to."

Bai Wei had already told the Second Prince what Su Yunluo said. The Second Prince knew there was no hope, but he still didn't give up: "Just think of it as a last visit to my brother, okay?"

"That was a bit serious at the end. We'll have plenty of opportunities to meet each other during festivals in the future. Anyway, I'm going to go recently. I think you guys should stop messing around and prepare to ascend the throne."

After hearing this, the Second Prince reacted fiercely: "Even if my brother doesn't want to be the emperor anymore, it won't be me. I will choose one of the three Yuanmou brothers to succeed me."

"Do you think that if one of the brothers really becomes the emperor, can he sit firmly on the throne?" Su Yunluo asked back.

The Second Prince waved his hand and said, "I don't care. As long as I'm here, I can definitely secure this position for them!"

"Your Highness, you know in your heart that this is not the best choice." Su Yunluo looked at him firmly and said slowly.

So many days have passed, I believe everyone has already thought about the consequences of the emperor becoming a monk, and who would be the most beneficial to him as the emperor.

The answer is obvious. It is best for everyone if the Second Prince becomes the emperor.

First of all, the Second Prince’s ability is there.

During the years when the emperor was away, he was acting as the emperor, and all the officials in the court respected him very much.

Secondly, there are no other messy women in the Second Prince’s mansion, only Bai Wei, the princess.

And Bai Wei is the one Su Yunluo trusts the most.

If they become emperors and empresses, they will definitely not think of getting rid of the former emperor's offspring.

This is equivalent to ensuring that Yuanmou and others will live in peace and prosperity for the rest of their lives.

Thirdly, the Second Prince’s six sons and one daughter were all born to Bai Wei and were all well educated. The next generation of emperor will surely lead China to a higher peak.

"Please think twice, Your Highness." Su Yunluo lowered his head and bowed slightly.

The Second Prince is so smart, how could he not know the pros and cons of this?

With a sigh, he left with Bai Wei.

……

A month later, the second prince announced to the world the imperial edict that the emperor had prepared long ago.

The following spring, the second prince officially ascended the throne.

Princess Bai Wei was named Queen.

Su Yunluo was named the emperor's eldest sister, extremely honorable, and could enter and leave any part of the palace freely.

Wang Yuanmou was appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Army.

Some of the late emperor's many concubines became nuns and prayed for the country with him.

The rest stayed in the palace to retire and never participated in the affairs of the previous dynasty again.

Everything is settled.

From then on, the curtain was raised on China's gradual growth in strength and its gradual encroachment on and annexation of the entire world.

……

Before the Second Prince ascended the throne.

Su Yunluo called Wang Yuanmou and Wang Qiming over and asked them if they blamed him for his original decision.

"If I had promised your father and become the queen, you would be princes now and the emperor in the future. Do you blame me?"

The two brothers shook their heads at the same time.

"Mother, let's not talk about whether you want to be the queen or not. Even if we really become princes, there will definitely be many people who will question and block us. They will question our identities and our bloodline. Just thinking about the process makes me feel bumpy."

"That's right. Besides, we don't want to be emperors or princes. Firstly, we have never thought about it. Secondly, we really like our current life. We can spend more time with our family and do whatever we want."

Seeing that the two brothers sincerely did not want the throne, Su Yunluo's last bit of worry disappeared.

……

Three months after the new emperor ascended the throne.

The emperor personally reviewed the troops.

Half a year later, the emperor prepared to lead the army in person to attack the country that had been harassing the border for years.

Although since the Sky Eagle Kingdom was destroyed in a swift manner, the surrounding countries have suddenly become obedient.

But their being honest doesn't mean that the past grudges have been wiped out.

When Su Yunluo was still in the Sky Eagle Country, he sent Sisi back. One of the things he instructed was to let General Shiba report the matter of the arsenal to the emperor, who was then the Second Prince.

Because Su Yunluo knew that once Shi Ba came with guns and cannons to rescue her, the matter of the arsenal would definitely be exposed.

Rather than being asked later, it is better to take the initiative to explain at the beginning.

After the Second Prince learned about the arsenal, he immediately sent people over to help make weapons.

However, the people who used to serve the court only contributed their efforts and never meddled in other people’s affairs or made comments.

Su Yunluo gave him trust, and the Second Prince also gave Su Yunluo the greatest respect.

It was not until Su Yunluo returned from the Sky Eagle Kingdom and gave a map to the Second Prince.

The locations of five huge iron ore mines are marked on it.

The second prince immediately sent people to these five places to dig iron ore and build factories.

Now, almost a year has passed.

The first batch of weapons was delivered to Beijing.

Including the batch used before, one-tenth of the entire army is equipped with these advanced weapons from the future.

Using future thermal weapons to attack neighboring countries is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

……

The day when the emperor would personally lead the army was set one month after the results of the imperial examination were announced.

The day when the results were announced.

Someone was waiting in front of the imperial edict early on.

As soon as the results came out, someone immediately ran to Su Yunluo's door to announce the good news.

"Congratulations, Second Young Master, you are the first in this imperial examination, the top scholar!"

The people outside immediately came back to report to Su Yunluo.

Su Yunluo's first reaction was: "Ah? The results are out so soon! Not bad, not bad. Go tell the second brother the good news. And give some silver to those who reported the news at the door."
