Summoning from Another World: A Grand Ambition

Chapter 9 Balancing Characters, A Master Emerges

In the past few days, Ji Dan has handled affairs with great efficiency, and all the documents and files he has dealt with are clear and organized. However, he always maintains a distant demeanor, and his interactions with others are limited to mere formalities, with him rarely speaking.

Tian Heng originally thought this was the aloofness of scholars, but now it seems that this is clearly observation, observation, and waiting for a wise ruler worthy of entrustment.

"It's actually Ji Dan..." Tian Heng took a deep breath, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the jade pendant at his waist.

Duke Zhou, Ji Dan, was a Confucian sage who established rites and music, a pillar of the Western Zhou Dynasty who quelled the Rebellion of the Three Guards, and was revered by Confucius as a model of ideal personality.

In Confucian classics, the Duke of Zhou is a synonym for a sage and the highest standard of virtuous governance.

Such a top politician with a political score of 104 actually needs him to personally subdue him.

"As expected of the number one person in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, with such impressive statistics." Tian Heng shook his head with a wry smile.

"But I actually have to subdue it myself... System, is this the way you're implanting it because you think I'm too idle?"

"Summoning complete." The system's cold, mechanical voice interrupted Tian Heng's thoughts.

"Balance mode is about to be activated. Host, please be aware that balance characters will be randomly implanted into this world. They may become allies or enemies. Please prepare accordingly."

"They're finally here." Tian Heng's expression hardened, and he sat up straight. The candlelight cast flickering shadows on his face. "Let's see who comes out first!"

"Character generation in progress..."

"The first one is Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng."

"Implanted Identity: Prince of Qin. The Qin state is a rising power among the various states. After six generations of rulers working diligently, it has the ambition to contend for the Central Plains."

Ying Zheng was the son of King Zhuangxiang of Qin. At the age of seventeen, he was intelligent, decisive, and ambitious.

Three years ago, King Zhuangxiang died, and Ying Zheng ascended the throne. Due to his young age, Chancellor Lü Buwei acted as regent. After his coming-of-age ceremony last year, Ying Zheng gradually reclaimed power and began to rule personally.

"Characters included: Li Si, Li Xin, Lü Buwei, Meng Wu, Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi, Wang Li, Wang Wan, Dun Ruo, Feng Quji, Li Bing, Zhang Han, Yang Duanhe, Ruan Wengzhong, Gan Luo, Cai Ze, Yao Jia"

"The first person is actually the First Emperor..." Tian Heng gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"The people they brought with them were also extraordinary. Although they did not have Wang Jian and his son, the famous generals Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin, and Zhang Han, along with the top civil officials Lü Buwei and Li Si, made Qin a formidable opponent."

Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor who unified the six kingdoms, standardized writing and cart axles, and laid the foundation for China's two-thousand-year imperial system, his ambition, his courage, and his methods were the real terror.

"It seems this is going to cause quite a stir in this world," Tian Heng murmured, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Turbulent times produce heroes; isn't this his opportunity?

"Second place, Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang."

"Implanted identity: Pei County Chief of the Southern Dayao Dynasty. The Dayao Dynasty has been established for three hundred years. In recent years, the government has become corrupt, the emperor has been incompetent, and peasant uprisings have broken out in various places."

Liu Bang was thirty-five years old. He was a magnanimous man who loved to make friends with heroes and was highly respected in Pei County.

Seeing that the world was about to descend into chaos, he secretly contacted Cao Can, a prison clerk in the county, and Fan Kuai, a butcher, among others, intending to take advantage of the internal strife in the Great Yao Dynasty to raise an army.

"Characters included: Lu Wan, Cao Can, Zhang Ao, Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, Li Shang, Xi Juan, Xiahou Ying, Guan Ying, Fu Kuan, Jin Xi, Wang Ling, Chai Wu, Wang Xi, Xue Ou, Zhou Chang, Ding Fu, Chong Da, Peng Yue"

"Old Liu is out too..." Tian Heng's expression became subtle.

"However, without the help of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, it seems that it would be difficult for Liu Bang to rise to power in a short period of time."

He paused, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes: "Especially with the Qin state watching us like a hawk, Ying Zheng in the west, Liu Bang in the south... System, do you have a twisted sense of humor? Are you trying to make history repeat itself, to have another Chu-Han Contention?"

"Everything is generated randomly; the system has no control over it," the mechanical voice replied emotionlessly.

"Alright, alright, random, random." Tian Heng was already numb. "Continue, let's see what other characters you can come up with."

"Third: King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa."

"Implanted Identity: Ji Fa, a member of the royal family of the Great Yao Dynasty, is the son of King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang. Ji Fa is twenty years old, skilled in both literature and martial arts, and has a well-known reputation for virtue among the Great Yao royal family. In recent years, seeing the decline of the Great Yao court, he has been secretly accumulating power, intending to revitalize the Zhou Dynasty."

"Characters included: Ji Chang, Ji Kao, Lei Zhenzi, Shao Gong Shi, Bi Gong, Rong Gong, Tai Dian, Hong Yao, San Yisheng, Nangong Shi"

Fourth: King Zhou of Shang, Di Xin.

"Implanted Identity:"

Descendants of the Yin clan of the Dayao Dynasty. The Yin clan was a royal family of the Shang Dynasty. After the fall of Shang, one branch of the clan migrated to Dayao and became dependent on the Dayao Dynasty.

Emperor Xin was twenty-five years old. He was exceptionally brave and skilled in martial arts, capable of wrestling a tiger bare-handed. However, he was also violent and fond of wine and women, earning him a poor reputation in the Great Yao court.

Characters included: Wen Zhong, Bi Gan, Shang Rong, Fei Zhong, You Hun, Shen Gongbao, Wu Wenhua, Zhang Kui, E Lai, Fei Lian

"You just said that and you're here..." Tian Heng's lips twitched. "Ji Fa and Di Xin, are they trying to bring the Investiture of the Gods here? Won't they fight to the death?"

"Everything is random," the system repeated.

Tian Heng rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. The Great Yao Dynasty was in turmoil. Liu Bang, a mere village head, was about to rebel; Ji Fa wanted to revive the Zhou Dynasty; Emperor Xin wanted to restore the kingdom; and on top of that, the already precarious court... the west was likely to descend into chaos.

"Fifth, Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian."

"Implanted identity: Head of the Yang Clan of the Northern Da Ning Dynasty."

The Great Ning Dynasty lasted for 120 years, during which time the political power of aristocratic families was very strong. The Yang family was one of the eight major families and controlled the military power in the northern border.

Yang Jian, aged forty, was a composed and resourceful man whose prestige at court was growing daily. In recent years, the emperor had fallen seriously ill, and the crown prince was too young. Yang Jian secretly plotted to emulate the actions of his predecessors and depose the emperor.

"Characters included: Dugu Jialuo, Yang Guang, Yang Yong, Wu Jianzhang, Gao Jiong, Yang Su, Yang Lin, He Ruobi, Yu Juluo, Qiu Rui, Han Qinhu, Ding Yanping, Shang Shitu, Xin Wenli, Zhang Xutuo, Shi Wansui, Yuwen Shu, Yuwen Huaji, Yuwen Zhiji, Yuwen Shiji, Yuwen Chenglong, Yuwen Chengxiang, Princess Qionghua, Yang Yuer, Wei Wentong"

"This group is much more normal now." Tian Heng breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Apart from a few of the Nine Elders of the Sui Dynasty, the others, although also famous generals, are much less threatening than the previous groups."

However, Yang Jian himself... he was a great ruler who ended the chaos of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and ushered in the prosperous Kaihuang era; he should not be underestimated.

The Great Ning Dynasty was located to the west of the Great Xia. If Yang Jian were to truly seize power in Great Ning, or even usurp the throne and establish himself as emperor, it would pose another threat to the Great Xia.

"Sixth: Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin."

"Implanted Identity: Commander of the Imperial Guards of Da Cang. Da Cang is located in the eastern part of the Central Plains and has existed for over three hundred years. In recent years, the emperor has been young, the empress dowager has been ruling from behind the curtain, and the court has been controlled by powerful ministers. Zhao Kuangyin is thirty-two years old, brave and skilled in battle, and has extremely high prestige in the Imperial Guards. He is secretly befriending the generals of the Imperial Guards and plotting something big."

"Personnel included: Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Pu, Yang Guangyi, Liu Qingyi, Liu Shouzhong, Wang Zhengzhong, Li Jixun, Shi Shouxin, Han Zhongyun, Liu Tingrang, Gao Huaide, Zhang Lingduo, Wang Shenqi, Zhang Guanghan, Zhao Yanhui, Luo Yanhuan, Wang Yansheng, Cao Bin"

"This group is nothing to say, they're even worse," Tian Heng commented.

"Zhao Kuangyin himself was a great ruler, but among the people he brought with him, apart from a few like Zhao Pu and Cao Bin, the others were not considered top-tier in history. Moreover, the Song state was far from Youzhou, so it posed little threat in the short term."
