The Ministers Begged Me to Ascend the Throne

After transmigrating into the body of Emperor Zhou Wu's youngest son, Zhao Yao found himself far from favored. To survive the bloody struggle for the throne, he had no choice but to keep his head down. At last, he managed to lie low until he came of age and was made a prince, only for his dear father to exile him to Lingnan. He'd heard Lingnan was desperately poor. No problem: he'd build infrastructure and boost production. Under Zhao Yao's rule, Lingnan transformed from a place of exile into a land of prosperity. Just as Zhao Yao was happily enjoying his carefree life in Lingnan, ministers traveled thousands of miles to beg him to ascend the throne. Zhao Yao was dumbfounded. Had these ministers been kicked in the head by a donkey?
