“My lord, if the Prince of Chenliu and the members of the imperial clan have already returned to the capital, and you alone defy the imperial decree and refuse to return, it will greatly damage your reputation.”

"The princes and members of the imperial family are all in the capital. It is the perfect opportunity for our lord to return and win over the hearts of the people."

“This humble monk observed the celestial phenomena last night. The Ziwei star was weak, while the Emperor star, which represents our lord, was as bright as a bushel, and its brilliance was growing stronger every day.”

"Now that our lord has the Hetao and Hexi regions under his control and has opened up the Western Regions, with a strong and well-equipped army, even if he cannot contend for the throne, he can still win the hearts of the people in the capital."

"The He and Dong families want to harm our lord, but they dare not do it openly, so they can only do it in secret!"

"This humble monk is willing to accompany Your Highness to the capital and stir up a storm!"

hiss!

This same monk had previously advised Liu Wei to "stockpile grain and build high walls," but now he's urging Liu Wei to go to Beijing.

Perhaps it was Liu Hong's serious illness that made this black-clad prime minister, who was about to drape Liu Wei in a yellow robe in the cold weather, keenly sense a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If handled well, Liu Wei could be placed on the throne, fulfilling Yao Guangxiao's grand ambition.

Yao Guangxiao's words stirred Liu Wei's emotions.

The monk's words made sense.

Moreover, Liu Wei is now a completely different person. With a powerful system at his disposal, he can summon thousands of troops at any time.

While he was in the capital, if Empress He and Empress Dowager Dong harbored any ill intentions towards him, Liu Wei could easily have a million cavalry sweep around the capital overnight, if he so desired.

"It's been a long time since I've seen my father, the Emperor. If he's really gone, it would be a pity not to see him again."

"Then I will follow the strategist's advice and return to the capital to attend to the ailing patient!"

After thinking it over, Liu Wei decided to follow Yao Guangxiao's advice: "You should quickly return to Hetao to report to the military advisor and prepare for your return to the capital."

"I will set off tomorrow from Hexi back to Wuyuan!"
