Seeing the troubling news that Temujin had risen to power.
Su Ye had a bit of a headache and subconsciously looked to the side, wanting to ask Yao Guangxiao, his top henchman in terms of intelligence, for his opinion.
It wasn't until Su Ye realized that there was no one around her that she came to her senses.
Yao Guangxiao, the all-around capable tool who had always worked diligently by his side and was a model worker in Cangzhou, had been sent to Li Jing's side by him.
They really do block the road wherever there's an opening!
Hmm...
Looking at the empty study, and Xu Chu and Xuanwu standing at the door.
Su Ye realized that he might need to find another external brain for intellectual support.
"System, use 100 summoning points to summon once, focusing on intelligence."
Thinking of this, Su Ye immediately took action and asked the system to create one for him.
"Ding! Summoning with 100 summoning points. The system will provide a list of five characters. Please remove two of them. The system will then randomly summon one of the remaining three characters."
"Summoning in progress, please wait..."
"Ding! Summoning the first person, Gao Jiong, Command 96, Strength 70, Intelligence 98, Politics 98!"
Gao Ying, courtesy name Zhaoxuan, served as prime minister during the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui and was a famous politician and strategist of the Sui Dynasty.
Gao Ying possesses both literary and military talents, outstanding insight, and is diligent and conscientious in handling government affairs, always loyal to his duties.
He formulated the Kaihuang Code, destroyed the Chen Kingdom, and attacked the Turks.
He not only "took the world as his responsibility" and did his best to offer advice and suggestions on governing the country and developing the economy, but also fully demonstrated the "spirit of talent scout" by recommending a large number of virtuous ministers and generals to serve the country.
Civil officials such as Su Wei, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and military generals such as Yang Su and Han Qinhu, as well as those recommended by Gao Jiong who were able to achieve great things.
As historical records state, "the number is countless."
Moreover, these impressive stats also indicate that this is an all-around powerful figure, with no weaknesses in any of the four dimensions except for the martial prowess, which is not particularly needed by civil officials.
"Ding! Summoning the second person, Huo Guang, who deposed and installed two emperors. Command 90, Martial Prowess 84, Intelligence 95, Politics 99."
Empress Wu's rise to power was determined by political maneuvering!
Huo Guang, courtesy name Zimeng, was a powerful minister and politician during the Western Han Dynasty. He was the half-brother of Grand Marshal Huo Qubing and the maternal grandfather of Empress Shangguan, the wife of Emperor Zhao of Han.
He frequented the imperial palace for over twenty years, acting with extreme caution and prudentness, and was trusted by Emperor Wu of Han.
When Emperor Wu was on his deathbed, he appointed Huo Guang as Grand General and Grand Marshal, and together with Jin Ri, Shangguan Jie, and Sang Hongyang, he received the imperial edict to assist the young emperor.
After Emperor Zhao of Han ascended the throne, he competed for power with Shangguan Jie and Sang Hongyang, thwarted Shangguan Jie's plan to support Liu Dan, the Prince of Yan, and was granted the title of Marquis of Bolu, thus gaining control of the government.
After Emperor Zhao's death, Huo Guang supported Liu He, the King of Changyi, as emperor. Twenty-seven days later, he deposed Liu He and installed Liu Xun, the great-grandson of Emperor Wu, as emperor, who became Emperor Xuan of Han.
After Emperor Xuan ascended the throne, Huo Guang announced the return of power to the emperor, but still held great power. His daughter, Huo Chengjun, became Emperor Xuan's second empress, and the Huo family became extremely prominent.
Emperor Xuan listed Huo Guang as the first among the "Eleven Meritorious Officials of the Qilin Pavilion".
Huo Guang held power for twenty years, following the laws and regulations of Emperor Wu.
After the accumulated problems at the end of Emperor Wu's reign, he adopted measures to allow the country to recuperate and rebuild, and reduced taxes and levies, which enabled the Han Dynasty to recover to some extent.
Externally, relations with the Xiongnu were eased, and the policy of marriage alliances was restored.
This period is known to later generations as the Zhaoxuan Restoration.
At the same time, because he deposed and installed two emperors, which was similar to the story of Yi Yin deposing Tai Jia in the Shang Dynasty, powerful ministers in later generations often used "doing what Yi Yin and Huo Qubing did" as a cover when they deposed and installed emperors.
It can be said that he took the role of a powerful minister to its extreme.
Huo Guang was the most powerful minister in China; after him, no other powerful minister could surpass him in terms of strategic brilliance.
No powerful minister could surpass Huo Guang in status and reputation.
Of course, more importantly, there was his related elder brother Huo Qubing, and the famous Marquis of Wulie, Wei Qing!
Having captured Huo Guang means there's a great chance we can also take down these two great men!
"Ding! Summoning a third person, Wang Mang, the emperor of the Xin Dynasty, with a command 82, martial prowess 60, intelligence 98, and politics 90."
Time travel to Wang Mang, the progenitor of time travel?
Wang Mang seized control of the government, eliminated dissidents, and cultivated a large following, thereby gaining the support of many people.
When Ruzi Ying was emperor, Wang Mang seized the throne under the pretext of regent. He then deposed Ruzi Ying, usurped the throne, changed the country's name to Xin, and established the reign title "Shijian Guo".
He carried out reforms based on ancient practices and ordered legal changes.
Wang Mang changed the land in the country to "Wang Tian" (royal land), limiting the amount that individuals could own; slaves were renamed "Si Shu" (private servants), and buying and selling them was prohibited; if a family had more land than allowed, they had to distribute the land to their nine clans or neighbors; families without land were given land according to the standard of one hundred mu per man; those who disobeyed were exiled to distant lands.
The following year, Wang Mang issued another edict to implement the "Five Equalizations and Six Monopolies" to control and monopolize industry and commerce, increase national tax revenue, and allow the state to operate five industries: salt, iron, wine, coin minting, and the Five Equalizations and Six Monopolies, prohibiting private operation. He also restored the five ranks of nobility and frequently changed the official system and administrative divisions.
It can be said that Wang Mang's policies after he came to power were somewhat "modern"!
Their ideas were thousands of years ahead of their time.
However, he overlooked the social productivity at the time.
And not long after he started "cheating," he was punished by the "administrator" world consciousness version.
Even if he killed multiple "Liu Xiu"s, it wouldn't matter!
He killed Liu Xiu, who was possibly a peasant, Liu Xiu, who was possibly a merchant, and Liu Xiu, who was possibly a nobleman.
Finally, they angered the "administrator".
Go straight to Hell difficulty! Archmage Liu Xiu starts with a forbidden fire and earth spell—Meteor Smash!
The "administrator" was having fun using an over-version account back in the starting village.
"Ding! Summoning the fourth person, Xun Yu, a talent worthy of a king's advisor, with a command stat of 86, martial prowess of 61, intelligence of 97, and political acumen of 100."
Oh, it's someone I know.
A talent fit for a king's advisor, Xun Yu or Xun Lingjun!
It appeared once before during a previous summoning.
He recommended a large number of talented people to Cao Cao, including Zhong Yao, Xun You, Chen Qun, Du Xi, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia.
If this person is summoned, will people like Xun You, Chen Qun, Du Xi, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia who appear later also directly submit to him because of Xun Huo?
Su Ye looked at Xun Huo's panel, his eyes shining.
"Ding! Summoning the fifth character, Cao Gui from the Battle of Changshao, with 96 Command, 82 Strength, 95 Intelligence, and 86 Politics."
Who is the protagonist of the historical anecdote about Cao Gui's debate on warfare?
Cao Gui, also known as Cao Hui, may be Cao Mo (this is disputed).
He was a famous military theorist and a descendant of Cao Shu Zhenduo, the sixth son of King Wen of Zhou.
In the tenth year of Duke Zhuang of Lu's reign, Qi attacked Lu. Gui requested an audience and pleaded for the people's trust before engaging in battle. He accompanied Duke Zhuang to meet the Qi army at Changshao, serving as a comrade in command. Gui advised Duke Zhuang to wait until the Qi army's morale was exhausted after the third drumbeat before launching a counterattack. Duke Zhuang followed this plan and achieved a great victory, decisively defeating the Qi army. The idiom "to strike while the iron is hot" originates from this story.
It is also said that in the thirteenth year of Duke Zhuang's reign, Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Zhuang of Lu met at Ke. He followed with a sword and coerced Duke Huan into signing a treaty to reclaim the lost territory of Lu.
Although he didn't perform well or appear on screen many times, he was still a talented commander with both intelligence and strategic acumen.
