Jiang Ming now wants to regain a status even higher than that of the feudal lords of the various states...
Even his father, the King of Qin, had to obediently kowtow to him!
Seeing Jia Gu's bewildered expression, Jiang Ming laughed and said, "What? Does the teacher think I'm not worthy?"
"Young master!"
Jia Gu rolled his eyes and pondered, "It's not that you're unworthy, young master, but... things are different today than they were hundreds of years ago. More than 200 years ago, the Great Gan Emperor had a vast territory and a large population, and his royal army could sweep across the land. But the current Great Gan Emperor is a complete joke, a clown. Why do you want to put him back on a high position?"
He paused, then continued, "The men of Qin should march east out of Hangu Pass, sweep away all the other states, and rebuild a great dynasty, instead of picking up scraps from others' work, digging up those withered bones from their tombs, and letting them..."

Actually... everyone knows the truth and so-called 'principles' of this world, whether they are real or false!
But why does 'moral blackmail' often prevail? It's baffling.
It is precisely because they have a 'just cause' and are using the banner of 'justice' that they force people to comply!
Jia Gu and Jiang Ming argued until the old man was so angry he almost fainted.
Jiang Ming chuckled and patted his shoulders reassuringly, "Don't even mention it... even if my father gave me the throne and became the King Father, I still wouldn't want to be the Crown Prince of Qin..."
"You! You?"
Jagu was completely speechless.
"Okay! Don't be angry..."
Jiang Ming said, "You'll come with me to Luoyi this time. I'll ask the Emperor of the Great Gan Dynasty to appoint you to an official position..."
