Summoning from Another World: Starting with the Great Han Chess Master's Reduction of the Feuda

When Liu Xiao woke up, he was back in the mansion bestowed by the emperor. The imperial physician had already come and said that he had only suffered a little fright and was otherwise fine. After drinking the calming medicine and driving away Fu Xiang, the courtesan he had snatched from the brothel, Liu Xiao couldn't wait to mentally call upon the system.

"system?"

[Ding! The Eternal Emperor System has been activated.] A emotionless electronic voice rang in Liu Xiao's mind.

"Where did you come from? Where are you going? What do you want me to do? What are you?" Liu Xiao asked the questions that every reader of the summoning text had.

[Ding! This question is beyond the scope of the curriculum. Let's try a different question.]

Liu Xiao felt a chill in his heart, remembering the silly robot that his parents had bought for him in his previous life, a robot that could only sing, all for the sake of his studies.

"System, what can you do?" Liu Xiao asked nervously.

The system's purpose is to transform the host into the greatest emperor of this world. Its functions include, but are not limited to, summoning characters, technologies, and items, and enhancing the host's stats...

After the system's explanation, Liu Xiao roughly understood that this system was similar to the systems in the summoning texts he usually read; they were all there to help him achieve unification.

"What about Liu Qi? Is it just a coincidence of names?" Liu Xiao asked, voicing his last question.

[The system unexpectedly revealed 12 groups of characters while transporting its host through time, and Liu Qi was one of them.]

"System, I..." Liu Xiao's vision went black, and a phrase from the national classic got stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter it.

"System, this isn't over until I have 12 God-level Talent Summoning Cards. There's also your delay fee, my compensation for emotional distress, and the newbie welcome gift." Liu Xiao kept rambling on.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a newbie gift pack and a compensation gift pack. Would you like to open them?] The system ignored Liu Xiao's incessant chatter.

"Open it," Liu Xiao said with delight.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained one God-level Talent Summoning Card, two Heaven-level Talent Summoning Cards, one Special Talent Summoning Card, and 300 Summoning Points.]

"Sigh, not bad. Let's check my attributes first," Liu Xiao said, stroking his chin.

[Liu Xiao, Command 76, Martial Prowess 75 (Unranked), Politics 86, Intelligence 89, Charisma 89]

"What's going on with the system? My charm is practically unmatched, except for the readers in front of the screen! How could it be so low?" Liu Xiao wondered. Whether in his past life or this one, Liu Xiao was very confident in his charm.

[The host should be well aware of what he did in the capital. Charm is not just about looks; it also involves a combination of factors such as social status and personal reputation.]

"Alright, alright, system, start the summoning. Use the God-level Talent Summoning Card, focusing on intelligence; the Special Talent Summoning Card, focusing on intelligence; and then use two Heaven-level Talent Summoning Cards, one focusing on martial prowess and the other on internal strength," Liu Xiao said.

On the surface, the Crown Prince's case appears to be a case of two children accidentally killing each other in a fit of pique, but it's far more complex than that. From what Liu Xiao understands, Crown Prince Liu Qi is always reserved and patient, while Prince You's heir, Liu Yuan, though impulsive and prone to anger, would never attack the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace or in public. Moreover, judging by the speed at which rumors spread, this is clearly a premeditated conspiracy. Liu Xiao is quite self-aware; his current understanding is insufficient to meticulously deduce the truth and devise a plan. It's time to summon a strategist.

[Ding! Summoning of god-level intellectual talent has begun]

[Ding! The first person, Yan Ying, with an intelligence level of 101.]

Yan Pingzhong is a virtuous person who does not serve the emperor personally.

Yan Ying was a native of the State of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period. Though less than six feet tall (approximately 1.4 meters), he served as a regent for over 50 years, a veteran official of three reigns in Qi. Internally, Yan Ying advised the ruler and assassinated powerful ministers. Externally, he was sent as an envoy to other states to resolve difficulties. Often, while achieving his goals, he also preserved the dignity of the state, the monarch, and himself. However, in politics, his strength lay in maintaining the status quo rather than in revitalizing it—a characteristic that remained Yan Ying's defining characteristic.

Yan Ying emphasized frugality, light taxation, and reduced punishments, and advocated harmony between ruler and minister while maintaining differences. Yan Ying's wisdom and talent are reflected in various fables such as "Two Peaches Kill Three Warriors," "Yan Ying's Mission to Chu," and "Shoulder to Shoulder."

[The second person, Guan Zhong, a pioneer of Legalism, with an intelligence score of 102]

Guan Zhong's wisdom was demonstrated in his diplomatic skills and economic warfare.

By purchasing deer at high prices, the state of Chu abandoned agriculture and raised deer, thereby banning grain exports and forcing Chu to submit. They monopolized the supply of fine grass under the guise of the Zhou king's sacrificial rites. They proposed upholding the king's authority and repelling the barbarians, uniting the world nine times to bring order to the feudal lords.

Liu Bingzhong is hailed as the chief architect of the Yuan Dynasty. From the Yuan Dynasty's political transformation to institutional reform, from military strategy to talent strategy, from political planning to governance philosophy, the shadow of this black-clad prime minister can be seen everywhere.

Liu Bingzhong, a monk, assisted Kublai Khan in ascending the throne. He submitted numerous lengthy memorials proposing a governing strategy of "implementing Han laws, establishing systems, promoting agriculture and sericulture, and developing schools," thus improving the Mongol system. He also put forward the concept of "a king's army has contention but no war" to win the hearts of the people and reduce obstacles to the unification of the Yuan Dynasty.

He oversaw the construction of the two capitals, laying the foundation for Beijing's millennium-long layout. He also founded the Zijin Academy to cultivate talent for the Yuan Dynasty.

In terms of ideology and culture, he advocated the concept of the unity of the three teachings, advocating "governing the country with Confucianism, cultivating the mind with Buddhism, and cultivating the body with Taoism", but he was low-key in his actions and always maintained a humble style.

If Yelü Chucai was the proposer of Sinicization and Kublai Khan was the decision-maker for Sinicization, then Liu Bingzhong was definitely the promoter of Sinicization.

Temujin: I started by unifying the northern deserts, so why do I have to fight the northern deserts again after unifying them?

Kublai Khan: Please watch the video...
