Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

Xiao He's position among the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty was the most important!

Many people believe that the Han Dynasty was able to seize power because of Han Xin's military leadership and Zhang Liang's brilliant strategies, but the most important factor was actually Xiao He!

After all, in ancient times, logistics and supplies were of paramount importance. No matter how capable your soldiers were, if they ran out of supplies and provisions, a mutiny would still occur!

Besides, how many tactics are there that allow you to win with fewer troops or achieve a surprising victory?

Often, winning simply comes down to overwhelming the opponent with sheer numbers and superior strength.

All of this requires a good logistical foundation, which is why Xiao He always held the highest position among the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty!

He made a firm decision: he must bring Xiao He, just like Zhang Liang, under the command of his Great Qin!

He looked at Xiao He and nodded, his tone friendly.

"Brother Xiao He, you are truly a man of exceptional talent! You will surely become a pillar of our Great Qin Kingdom in the future!"

Faced with such praise, Xiao He simply smiled shyly.

"Brother Zilong, you're too kind."

"May I ask what brings Brother Zilong here?"

"It's nothing."

Tang Yu looked at Xiao He and then spoke.

"I don't study or read much at home, and the exam is coming up soon. I'm feeling quite lost and don't know what to do. I've long admired the great talents of Brother Xiao He and really wanted to come and pay my respects!"

Oh! So he's just a good-for-nothing rich kid?! He probably came to me asking me to let him leak the exam questions!

Xiao He smiled, but he didn't let the opportunity slip by either. As a commoner, gaining the favor of a nobleman was extremely important. So he looked at Tang Yu and said:

"Brother Zilong, you are too kind. However, the Grand Preceptor has not revealed a single detail about the content of the assessment in the next two days. Even though Xiao He wants to help, there is nothing he can do!"

Looking at the confident look in Xiao He's eyes, Tang Yu couldn't believe that such a smart person wouldn't know what he was going to be tested on.

In order to find out what the other party was up to, Tang Yu pretended to be a dog and sneaked up to Xiao He's side.

"Brother Xiao He, I believe you must have guessed something. Why don't you tell me? I will surely reward you handsomely!"

After saying that, Tang Yu took out a string of gorgeous jewelry from his hand.

Upon seeing this, Xiao He simply returned the jewelry and spoke with some uncertainty.

"Brother Zilong, you're too kind. We're brothers, so there's no need for repayment. I just hope you won't forget my help in the future!"

Tang Yu nodded. Xiao He glanced around to make sure no one was there before speaking with relief:

"Brother Zilong, based on my understanding of the scope of the Grand Preceptor's assessment this time, I'm afraid what he's testing is quite different from previous ones!"

"To put it bluntly, it may have almost nothing to do with the Four Books and Five Elements or Confucianism!"

"Ah? How could this be, Brother Xiao He? What do you mean by that?"

Tang Yu was amazed by Xiao He's intelligence.

After all, the content of his assessment was considered somewhat unorthodox and even perverse by the standards of this era, yet Xiao He actually guessed it!

"Do you remember? The announcement issued by the Imperial Advisor."

Xiao He looked relaxed and carefree, clearly feeling that victory was within his grasp.

"Everything related to being an official is part of the performance evaluation."

"Of course I remember, Brother Xiao He, but what do you mean by that?"

Seeing Tang Yu feigning ignorance, Xiao He patiently explained to him.

"What is an official? An official is someone who governs the local area and is like a parent to the people."

"What they need to know is not only how to deal with the people, but also how to judge cases, govern the local area, and ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"These things have absolutely nothing to do with Confucianism. The fact that the Grand Preceptor can say this proves that the Grand Preceptor does care about the people!"

"So the content of this assessment is probably completely different from other exams, so Brother Zilong, I'm sorry I can't help you either."

After leaving Xiao He's place, Tang Yu walked up to a chicken stall and said somewhat speechlessly.

"Erniu, this is so unprofessional. Anyone can tell you're an imposter..."

Li Niu glanced at his neatly arranged stall, his tone somewhat puzzled.

"How did you discover that, Your Excellency, the Imperial Advisor?"

Tang Yu glanced at it, his tone not very friendly.

"Go and see, how many real chicken sellers are as clean and tidy as you? You can't sell your chickens, and you're not worried? Are you afraid people won't know you're faking it?"

"Hehe, Grand Preceptor, you just don't have much experience."

"Alright, go and call a few people to keep a close eye on Xiao He on the third floor."

"If anything unexpected happens to him or he tries to run away, remember to catch him if you can, and kill him if you can't catch him!"

"Yes, Master Imperial Master!"

Tang Yu picked out a few chickens from his stall and turned to leave.

"Your Excellency, Imperial Advisor, please..."

Erniu opened his mouth, wanting Tang Yu to pay, but in the end decided against it.

This Erniu was one of the secret positions on the Black Ice Platform assigned to Tang Yu by Ying Zheng, but his main responsibility was not to transmit information, but to protect Tang Yu's safety.

After Tang Yu and Fusu were attacked last time, Ying Zheng was a little scared, so he sent a few people to follow Tang Yu at all times.

Any news about Tang Yu would be immediately reported to Ying Zheng by the Black Ice Guard, with them keeping in constant communication. However, the acting skills of these people were really too clumsy...

On his way home, Tang Yu picked a few lotus leaves and dug up some mud before returning home.

"Squeak-"

He opened the door with a happy smile, only to be met with a face that made his vision go black.

After Tang Yu closed the door, he went out again. When he opened it again and confirmed that the person sitting inside was indeed Ying Zheng, his tone was somewhat helpless.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing here? Why aren't you staying in the palace? What are you doing wandering around?"

"Zilong, what are you saying? I'm your uncle, isn't it perfectly reasonable for us to live together?"

Seeing Ying Zheng's serious expression, Tang Yu had nothing to say and could only sigh.

"Oh, Your Majesty, this is simply outrageous..."

Fusu, standing to the side, twitched at the corner of his mouth as he watched Tang Yu's disdainful look towards his father.

Mr. Tang is probably the only person in the world who would dare to despise his father like this.

But why does it seem like my father is actually enjoying it?
