Yu Youyao understood the crux of the matter. The previous emperor valued literature over martial arts, but he had appointed Duke Ning, who was a general, to teach the Eldest Prince's emperor how to ride and shoot.
From this, it was obvious that the previous emperor did not value his son very much.
Zhou Linghuai continued, "In the first year of the emperor's ascension, the Di Clan repeatedly invaded the North. There was a huge drought in the east, and there were external and internal troubles. Natural and man-made disasters seemed to imply that the current emperor was not worthy of his position."
That was why the King of Dongning could flatter him so well.
The Four Seas Dragon Dagger was indeed a rare divine weapon. When this dagger was forged, it was still debatable if there was thunder and rain in the east.
Of course, this was not the most important thing.
The important thing was that the emperor believed it.
