Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2366 Battle Spirit Transmission, Two Random Summonings

"Ding, the second round of summoning top-tier political talents has begun..."

"Ding, the first person, Li Linfu, Politics 95."

"Ding, the second person, Lu Kai, Politics 95."

"Ding, the third person, Yuwen Rong, Politics 95."

"Ding, fourth person, Kou Zhun, Politics 97."

"Ding, the fifth person, Feng Quji, Politics 95."

"The candidates for the Heavenly Talent Summoning Card have been presented. Please remove two from the five candidates. The system will then draw from the remaining three candidates."

"System, remove Li Linfu and Lu Kai, and summon from the remaining three: Yuwen Rong, Kou Zhun, and Feng Quji."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained Yuwen Rong. Command 76, Martial Strength 48, Intelligence 90, Politics 95, Charisma 90."

Implanted identity: One of the scholars who passed the second imperial examination of the Han Dynasty.

Yuwen Rong rose from a minor eighth-rank official to prime minister in just six or seven years, a remarkable feat in the Tang Dynasty's officialdom.

Yuwen Rong inspected fields and registered households, increased rent and tax revenue, and cracked down on land annexation. Undoubtedly, he was one of the heroes of the Kaiyuan era.

However, while Yuwen Rong's measures addressed the deep-seated social ills of the time, they also exposed the problem, involving too many interests and impacting too many people.

Yuwen Rong's actions aroused dissatisfaction among many officials, because the bureaucratic class was the biggest beneficiary of land annexation, and officials from prefectures and counties to high-ranking officials in the imperial court criticized this policy.

Furthermore, not long after he became prime minister, Yuwen Rong, who was in the prime of his life, offended Li Longji's "protest" by forming a faction.

He often brought in old friends and guests to form cliques, and because he was arrogant about his achievements, he was often impatient and talkative, acted carelessly, and rejected different opinions, which made him many enemies.

Meanwhile, the land survey and household registration work had been completed, and the court had accumulated substantial economic strength. Taking advantage of the factional incident, Li Longji demoted him to the position of Prefect of Ruzhou to prevent Yuwen Rong's power from growing too strong, while also appeasing the officials who had suffered losses due to the land survey and household registration.

Yuwen Rong was dismissed from his post as prime minister after only 99 days, making him one of the shortest-serving prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty.

"Ding, the third summoning of Heavenly-level political talents has begun..."

"Ding! The first person is Feng Quji, with a political score of 95."

"Ding, the second person, Lu Kai, Politics 95."

"Ding, the third person, Zhang Chengye, Politics 97."

"Ding, the fourth person, Lü Yijian, Politics 98."

"Ding, the fifth person, Kou Zhun, Politics 97."

"The candidates for the Heavenly Talent Summoning Card have been presented. Please remove two from the five candidates. The system will then draw from the remaining three candidates."

"System, remove Feng Quji and Lu Kai, and summon from the remaining three: Kou Zhun, Zhang Chengye, and Lü Yijian."

There's not much to say about which two of the five summoning candidates should be removed this time.

After all, Feng Quji and Lu Kai clearly had a significant advantage over the other three in terms of basic data.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired Lü Yijian. Command 42, Martial Prowess 45, Intelligence 95, Politics 98, Charisma 93. Implanted Identity: One of the scholars who passed the second imperial examination of the Han Dynasty."

Carried by: Fan Zhongyan.

It is well known that the Northern Song Dynasty produced many famous prime ministers. Among them, Lü Yijian served as prime minister for 21 years, making him the longest-serving prime minister in the Song Dynasty and one of the most controversial prime ministers in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Because his main rival was Fan Zhongyan, a role model praised by countless scholars and officials in later generations.

Fan Zhongyan was demoted three times in his life, and all of these demotions were orchestrated by Lü Yijian.

Ouyang Xiu, a later literary leader and admirer of Fan Zhongyan, was even more incisive, bluntly criticizing Lü Yijian for "causing chaos and disorder to the world for more than twenty years. While other officials enjoyed great wealth and honor, Yijian enjoyed it and then left, leaving Your Majesty to bear the great calamities of the world. Yijian's crimes are numerous and his deeds are well-documented..."

In addition, Lü Yijian also used stratagems to defeat two other prime ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Zeng and Li Di.

However, although Lü Yijian had a cunning side, he was not a truly treacherous minister, as he did not embezzle or accept bribes.

Former Chancellor Wang Zeng impeached Lü Yijian for accepting bribes, so Emperor Renzong ordered the two to confront each other on the spot, but no substantial evidence was found.

Moreover, he was quite dedicated to governing the country and ensuring its stability. His suppression of his ministers and his schemes regarding the court were merely ways for him to better utilize his talents.

Therefore, the History of Song Dynasty commented on Lü Yijian: "Since the early reign of Emperor Renzong, the Empress Dowager has ruled for more than ten years, and the world is at peace. Lü Yijian's efforts have played a significant role in this."

Besides Lü Yijian, whom he summoned this time, who was an extraordinary politician, Fan Zhongyan, whom he brought with him, was also a very famous politician and one of the famous prime ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty.

With the arrival of these five high-ranking political talents in the Han Dynasty—Pericles, Wu Qi, Gao Gong, Yuwen Rong, and Lü Yijian—…

Next, at least, the shortage of talent will be somewhat alleviated, thanks to the Han Dynasty's acquisition of vast territories after more than two years of conquest.

"Ding, five summons completed. The current host has 2147 summoning points, 1 Grandmaster Random Summoning Card, 1 God-level Battle Spirit, 5 God-level Talent Summoning Cards, and 2 Random Summoning Cards. Does the host wish to continue summoning?"

"System, give that divine battle spirit to Wu Zixu first, then use a random summoning card and that grandmaster random summoning card."

Having experienced the wars against Yan and Song, the Han Dynasty now needs talent in all aspects.

Therefore, Wang Yu decided to activate two of the three random summon cards at the same time.

"Ding, Battle Spirit Transmission in progress, target: Wu Zixu!"

In this process of balancing, Wu Zixu's general spirit has been restored, so naturally his battle spirit should be restored as well.

This battle spirit has remained unused, not only because there was no suitable candidate to use it, but also because it was originally reserved for Wu Zixu.

"Ding, the host has used a random summoning card to summon. Summoning begins..."

"Summon successful. This random summon is as follows:"
