Transmigrating into the youngest son of Emperor Wu of Zhou, Zhao Yao was not particularly favored. To survive the bloody struggle for the throne, he could only keep a low profile. At last, after quietly growing up and being enfeoffed as a prince, he was sent by his dear imperial father to Lingnan, a place of exile.
He heard that Lingnan was extremely poor. No problem, he would develop the infrastructure and boost production. Under Zhao Yao's administration, Lingnan transformed from a place of exile into a prosperous land.
Just as Zhao Yao was happily enjoying his carefree life in Lingnan, the 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?
