Zhou Liangliang

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?

Ministers Begging Me to Ascend the Throne

The Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Court of Judicial Review jointly investigated the case of Kong Taichang's youngest daughter's suicide by hanging. After thorough investigation over several days, all doubts were dispelled, and the final conclusion remained suicide and not homicide.


Many cannot accept this outcome, but such are the facts.


Kong Taichang's family could least accept the suicide of the youngest daughter. They would rather believe she was murdered, but the fact is it's suicide.


The Emperor issued a decree to posthumously confer the title of County Princess upon Kong Taichang's youngest daughter, and she was to be buried with honors befitting a County Princess.


During the funeral of Kong Taichang's youngest daughter, the Princess Consort Dai personally attended the Kong Mansion to offer her condolences. She also invited monks from Hulong Temple to perform rituals for Kong Yao, lasting forty-nine days.
