With the death of the tyrannical ruler, the Great Yun Dynasty was completely destroyed.

Su Yuanqiao believed he lacked the talent to be an emperor and refused to ascend the throne under any circumstances.

In the end, it was only after Lu Yu and his entourage pleaded five times that he finally ascended the throne and became emperor.

Now that the dynasty has changed, the country's name naturally needs to be changed, but everyone is struggling with what name to choose.

Su Yuanqiao felt that since they had won a battle, they should change the name to "Great Victory".

As a result, everyone said that the name was too casual and not formal enough.

Choosing a country's name isn't like naming a cat or dog; if you choose the wrong one, you'll be laughed at.

Seeing everyone's troubled expressions, Shen Zhaoning couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Of course she knew what the country's name was, but the feeling of watching what was happening before her eyes gradually turn into history was just too wonderful.

Although she still hasn't found her own record in the future, she's not as sad as before.

Regardless of what the future holds or how posterity will judge it.

She has no regrets.

Su Yuanqiao was not used to the complicated rules in the deep palace and felt extremely stifled. Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he secretly took Zhao Chunying and ran out of the palace to play.

The first thing to do after leaving the palace was to pick up Shen Zhaoning and Shen Yu to go out and have fun.

Zhao Chunying patted her chest and said.

"I've lived most of my life and I've never been served by so many people. Yesterday I had diarrhea and was in a hurry to go to the toilet, but a group of people surrounded me, burning incense and dusting me with ashes. I almost couldn't hold it in."

Su Yuanqiao wholeheartedly agreed.

"That's right. I told them to keep it casual and just do it the same as before, but a bunch of people started arguing about how etiquette is essential and that an emperor should act like one. They insisted on following me around and serving me."

"I've fought battles my whole life, I'm strong and healthy, I'm nowhere near the point where I need to be waited on!"

Shen Zhaoning couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Luckily, I don't live in the palace, hehe."

Shen Yu also curled her lips into a smile.

"Be careful your maternal grandfather doesn't get jealous and take you into the palace."

Su Yuanqiao's face darkened.

"Hey kid, was your grandfather such a stingy person?"

"Even if I bring Tuantuan into the palace, it's definitely not out of jealousy, but because I want Tuantuan to enjoy a life of luxury!"

This time, Zhao Chunying firmly stood on her grandson's side.

"You old fool, I think you're just jealous!"

Several people were chatting and laughing on the street.

Kyoto was no longer as desolate as it had been when they first occupied it.

The shops on both sides of the street have reopened, and vendors are setting up stalls to do business along the road.

People walked along the streets, some carrying hoes, others pushing carts.

They looked ordinary and unremarkable.

Yet they are also the most optimistic and tenacious.

No matter how big the disaster, as long as they can catch their breath, they will immediately regain their hope for life.

Smiles appeared on the faces of the people.

"The tyrant is dead, we can finally live a good life."

"It's strange, but as soon as this tyrant died, it started raining in the north and the sun came out in the south. It was as if everything before was a sign from heaven that we should overthrow the tyrant."

"Hey! It's not that mysterious. Su Shaoqing dug a canal to divert water from the south to the north. With water, as the weather gets hot and the water evaporates, it naturally rains!"

"In that case, the throne should belong to the Su family even more. I heard that the Su family even paid for the canal construction themselves."

A pregnant woman approached a man and grabbed his ear.

"You all have nothing better to do than be emperor. What does it matter to us who becomes emperor? You'd be better off using that time to fetch two more buckets of water; we're almost out of water at home."

Shen Zhaoning listened with great interest to the idle chatter and laughter of the people. When she looked up, she saw that her maternal grandfather had a somber expression.

Shen Zhaoning's heart skipped a beat.

She once came across a saying in modern times: "Men with money become bad."

Could it be that my maternal grandfather has become arrogant and complacent after suddenly rising to prominence, and can no longer tolerate people talking about him in private or calling him by his given name?

Shen Zhaoning hurriedly tugged at her brother's sleeve.

"Brother, Grandfather won't make things difficult for those people, will he?"

Shen Yu was also somewhat uncertain.

The time they spent together, sharing joys and sorrows, made him feel much closer to his maternal grandfather's family, which is why he naturally joked with his maternal grandfather.

Ultimately, however, they didn't spend enough time together.

He wasn't sure what his maternal grandfather was thinking either.

Those civilians are probably in grave danger.

Shen Yu was a bit older and thought more than Shen Zhaoning.

He felt a pang of sadness.

Is it inevitable for every emperor to be swayed by power and become a tyrant?

Everyone looked at Su Yuanqiao, waiting for him to speak; even Zhao Chunying held her breath.

Shen Zhaoning was so nervous she almost fainted when Su Yuanqiao suddenly cheered loudly.

"Okay, okay!"

"What a divine revelation! We should overthrow the tyrant! How about we name our nation 'Apocalypse'?"

Hearing Su Yuanqiao's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Chunying couldn't help but pat him on the back.

"You've finally shown some intelligence for once."

I was terrified; I almost thought the old man had suddenly changed.

Su Yuanqiao chuckled.

"If I weren't smart, could I have won the battle?"

"This is both a sign from heaven and the will of the people. I don't believe anyone can oppose it this time."

The name of the country, Tianqi, was announced.

As expected, no one objected, and they all praised Su Yuanqiao for his wisdom and intelligence.

Su Yuanqiao was only happy for two days before he was overwhelmed by the heavy workload.

"Damn it, being an emperor is exhausting!"

"I've straightened my back my whole life, but these damned official documents have bent it over."

"No wonder His Majesty became a tyrant. It's too difficult to be a wise ruler; it's much easier to be a tyrant."

Sitting in this position, he gradually understood why the once somewhat arrogant prince had become a tyrannical ruler.

Su Shaoqing placed a processed memorial in front of him.

"Father, please stop complaining."

"I approved all your memorials; you just need to stamp them. What's so tiring about that!"

Su Yuanqiao rolled his eyes and looked at Su Shaoqing, who looked exhausted.

"Your father is really not cut out to be an emperor. You can make me fight wars, but I'm really not good at governing a country."

"Without a benevolent heart, one cannot be a good emperor."

I think you're more suitable than me.

Su Shaoqing quickly waved his hand.

"No, no, you are in your prime, the time to make great strides. I am still young and inexperienced, and I cannot be emperor."

Being an emperor is not the same as being a prefect.

Although he was happy to do something for the people, he was truly apprehensive.

The father and son pushed each other back and forth, then both sighed, resting their chins on their hands.

After a long pause, Su Shaoqing finally spoke.

"I'm quite happy to be in charge of the county government."

"I am truly apprehensive about governing the world."

"Fearing that I might make a mistake and harm the world."
