Turning the Tables

After all, a reputation wasn't built in a day or two!

It came from more than a decade of diligence and hard work!

Perhaps Bo Yikao's vision really couldn't compare to Ji Fa's!

But all the effort he'd put in over the years hadn't been for nothing!

The mere fact that he'd dared to risk his life by facing King Zhou and pleading for his father's release was enough to show Bo Yikao's sincerity and courage!

Once he became a feudal lord, a man like that might not have the same pioneering spirit as his younger brother!

But he'd still make a good lord and a good leader in Xiqi!

Under his leadership, Xiqi might not achieve any glorious triumphs, but the people would certainly live in peace and prosperity, with plenty to eat and a good life!

So the ministers all understood the situation perfectly well!

If they wanted to coexist peacefully with the resurgent Shang Dynasty and give the common people a few years of stability, then Bo Yikao was clearly the better choice to rule Xiqi!

Cultivators certainly had their advantages, but their power was so great and their methods so unfathomable that once they arrived in Xiqi, its entire political landscape and development would slip beyond the control of its people!

That was a burden in itself!

Especially for the old ministers. Ever since Jiang Ziya had arrived, they'd always felt as if he'd taken over their home. Ji Fa listened to Jiang Ziya about practically everything, like a puppet!

Meanwhile, the rest of the ministers at court were like orphans abandoned by everyone, left with no choice but to act as Jiang Ziya wished!

This left the learned officials at court deeply dissatisfied!

We're the real masters of this court. You're just an outsider, yet
