After being reincarnated as the youngest son of Emperor Wu of Zhou, Zhao Yao was not favored much. In order to survive the bloody power struggle for the throne, he had to bide his time. Finally, he grew up and was granted a title of nobility, only to be exiled to the distant region of Lingnan by his dear father.

It was said that Lingnan was incredibly poor, but Zhao Yao was not afraid. He focused on infrastructure and production. Under Zhao Yao's management, Lingnan transformed from a place of exile into a prosperous land.

Just when Zhao Yao was happily living his carefree life in Lingnan, the ministers traveled a thousand miles to beg him to ascend the throne.

Zhao Yao was baffled. Had these ministers lost their minds?

The Emperor looked again at the Crown Prince and asked, "Crown Prince, what do you think?"


Before the Crown Prince could reply, Duke Zhen quietly gave him a look. He immediately understood.


"Father Emperor, this son also believes that Mr. Li should be worshiped by scholars across the land, but Mr. Kong Kangda should also be worshiped. They are both great scholars and should be respected by students across the land. So, this son thinks that we can first worship Mr. Li and then worship Mr. Kong Kangda."


"Father Emperor, this son believes that the person most worthy of being worshiped by scholars across the land is Mr. Li, not Kong Kangda." Prince Dai was well aware of the Crown Prince's faction's intentions and absolutely would not let the Crown Prince have his way. "This son thinks several ministers were right just now..."


After listening to Prince Dai, the Emperor turned to the Fourth Prince and asked, "Fourth son, what do you think?"
