The new Sovereign of Great Xia owes today's fortune entirely to the efforts of the young Marquis standing before him.
Without the vigorous assistance of this young Marquis, the one ascending today would not be the Eighth Prince Ji Minghao, but the Fifth Prince Ji Mingyuan.
They all understood that in the future court, this young Marquis would stand as a presence beneath one person and above tens of thousands.
He might even stand above that one person.
One by one, the officials stepped forward to pay their respects, and Jiang Ning nodded in return to each of them.
His expression remained calm, neither overly warm nor evidently cold.
Having reached this step, there was no need for him to ingratiate himself with court officials or form factions.
The so-called power and influence held no meaning for him now.
In a world where great power resides with the individual, one's personal strength is the greatest power and influence.
