Chapter 449: Ascend the throne as soon as possible
Luo Jiu coughed lightly, "Before I came here just now, I told the emperor that you are the person in the prophecy. So, if you don't come with me, he will kill you."
Wu Zhao's smile froze on her face. "Why did you stop me from becoming the emperor?"
Luo Jiu asked back: "Do you want to be the emperor?"
Wu Zhao nodded, "Of course, I'm not stupid. If being an emperor is a bad thing, why would those men be willing to lose their heads to fight for it? They can rebel against their fathers and kill their brothers to become emperors. They think the throne is worth it. If it is such a good thing, why can men do it but women can't?"
Luo Jiu smiled and said: "It's not that I don't want you to be the emperor, I just came to take you away so that you can become the emperor earlier.
You? I guarantee that you will be able to ascend the throne by the age of thirty at the latest.
What's the point of being an empress for just one generation? You can't control the rest of the world, they will still write about your achievements and change your policies.
When you were here, women could hold official positions, but now that you're gone, they don't allow it.
When a man becomes emperor, he cannot tolerate female officials, but when we women become emperors, we can tolerate male officials.
Facts have proved that we women can be inclusive and tolerant when we are in charge of the world. So why not let women always be in charge of the world?
We are the empresses of the past generations, and by then the country will be rich, the people will be strong, and the country will be prosperous for thousands of years. Isn't that good?"
Wu Zhao pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "You pass the throne to me, what are the conditions?"
Luo Jiu: "The first condition is of course that you need to perform normally and be a good emperor. Also... we cannot overthrow all feudal systems in a short period of time, and we still have to rely on blood inheritance. So I have to wrong you and pretend to be my daughter."
Wu Zhao suddenly stood up. Luo Jiu asked, "Where are you going?"
Wu Zhao stopped, turned around and bowed, "I'll go pack my things, mother."
In the end, Taizong was very generous and gave him a generous reward, asking Luo Jiu to send him more good things.
Luo Jiu and Wu Zhao quickly slipped out of the palace.
On the way, Wu Zhao asked curiously, "What if I am stubborn and would rather die than go with you, what will you do?"
Luo Jiu: "Then I will tell the emperor that I will hand over the blueprint only if you come with me, and he will naturally find a way to help me achieve my goal."
Wu Zhao sighed, her eyes filled with admiration and a bit of speechlessness.
Luo Jiu guessed that she was probably secretly complaining that Luo Jiu's scheming might be somewhat similar to that of her most powerful ex-husband on earth.

Returning to Tang Seng, Sun Wukong took out his magic bag and began to distribute the food. Zhu Bajie saw that the Tang suits were all women's and the food was all peaches and bananas, none of which he liked.
Bajie wrinkled his nose secretly and moved closer to Luo Jiu and the others, "I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"
Fu Bao took out a portion of cooked food and said, "Pork head, can you eat it?"
Luo Jiu quietly stuffed a roast chicken into his sleeve and told him, "Eat it quietly, and don't tell anyone that we gave it to you."
"Oh, thank you, female Bodhisattva." Bajie was so happy that he laughed like a pig.
After distributing the things, Luo Jiu and the others said goodbye again. There were four of them when they came, and now there are five of them when they leave.
When Wu Zhao heard Fubao calling Luo Jiuer "mother", she couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "This sister, is she the same as me?"
When she was asked to come, it didn't say that she would have to compete with other heirs.
Luo Jiu chuckled when he heard this question, "She is obviously different from you."
Wu Zhao was puzzled, but soon Fu Bao came over, put his arm around her shoulders and shared his latest experiences with her.
"Sister Zhao'er, let me tell you, the spice smell of the pig's trotters in Chang'an is too strong, it's choking. The ingredients must not have been picked out in advance, so the taste is just average. There is a restaurant in Jingzhou City that cooks authentic pig's trotters. I'll take you there to eat later."
Wu Zhao nodded, "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."
Fu Bao: "Then I will arrange it. I will definitely arrange it clearly for you. I am so good to you. When you become the emperor in the future, you must make me the greatest general in the world."
Wu Zhao thought to herself: Here he comes, this person is wise but appears foolish, he seems reckless but actually he is trying to trick me.
She quickly replied without missing a beat: "Sister, don't joke. Don't talk nonsense about matters concerning the throne. Our most important thing is to help mother ascend the throne. As for what happens next, mother will make the final decision."
Fu Bao was stunned. "She chose you. What do you mean? You don't want to be the emperor? No, she went through so much trouble to bring you here. What if you don't want to be the emperor?"
A series of questions caught Wu Zhao on the spot, and each question made her feel very difficult. But what was even more difficult was that Fu Bao shouted directly at Luo Jiu who was walking in front of her: "Second mother, you picked up the wrong person, she said she didn't want to... um... "
Wu Zhao had no choice but to cover Fubao's mouth and then rub her hands with the sticky pig's trotter collagen. Fubao said it tasted bad, but it didn't stop her from eating.
Feng Qi looked back and asked, "What are they doing?"
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "Fubao plays with the fool Xu every day, and she has become stupid. Now a smart one has come, let's see if she can be influenced by the company she has. Zhao'er has just come out of the high-pressure and complicated environment in the palace, and having someone like Fubao around her may help her relax soon. Let's adjust to each other during the running-in period."
The five of them returned to the courtyard, and Luo Jiu had a rough showdown with Wu Zhao, telling her about the relationships with the people around him, how to use the courtyard, and the situation outside. He also left her the four famous novels for her to urgently review.
Jinlian came in from outside, Wu Zhao quickly closed the book, Luo Jiu whispered: "It doesn't matter, she can't read. Her fate has been rewritten, don't tell her what's written on it."
Jinlian smiled and asked, "Are you guys still going out?"
Luo Jiu said: "Go out, Zhao'er will stay here with you. When we come back, we will pick you two up and go together."
The four of them skipped the Red Mansion and went directly to Water Margin to pick up Lin Daiyu's master.
