Through countless dynasties, I can summon the heroes of Chinese history.

[Ding dong, summoning the third character, Wei Renpu, a founding general of the Later Zhou Dynasty, with a Politics score of 97;]

Wei Renpu, courtesy name Daoji, served four dynasties: Later Jin, Later Han, Later Zhou, and Northern Song. He was a founding general of the Later Zhou dynasty.

During the Later Jin Dynasty, he served as a minor official in the Privy Council. Later, he surrendered to the Later Han Dynasty and was appreciated by Guo Wei because of his knowledge of military affairs.

When Guo Wei was suspected by Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty, he offered a plan to alter the secret edict to motivate the soldiers, helping Guo Wei to establish the Later Zhou Dynasty by donating the yellow flag, and was promoted to the position of Deputy Chief of the Privy Council.

On his deathbed, Guo Wei instructed Chai Rong to give him an important position. During Chai Rong's tenure, he helped quell the allied forces of the Northern Han and the Khitan, and was later promoted to prime minister.

After Emperor Gong ascended the throne, Wei Renpu was appointed Minister of Justice.

During the Chenqiao Mutiny, he resolutely organized court officials to resist, but they were suppressed due to their weak position.

From then on, Wei Renpu fell ill and died nine years later while accompanying Emperor Taizu of Song on a campaign against the Northern Han. He was posthumously honored as "Xuanyi".

Throughout his life, Wei Renpu was a resourceful strategist who helped Guo Wei establish the country by revising imperial edicts and formulating policies, and assisted Chai Rong in stabilizing the political situation. He was also knowledgeable, had a good memory, and was efficient in governing. Guo Wei praised him as a "national treasure".

He was not greedy for vanity, and became an important minister of four dynasties through his wisdom and loyalty. He was a model of a pragmatic strategist who survived the chaotic Five Dynasties period by relying on his strategies.

[Ding dong, summoning the fourth character, Xin Yunjing, a general from the late Tang Dynasty, with a Politics score of 81;]

The first three candidates, although only one was at the silver level, at least had good political attributes and could be considered top-tier. However, the fourth candidate turned out to be a first-rate political figure.

Although Xin Yunjing's abilities are indeed quite good, compared to these people, the gap is not small at all, since they are not professionals at all.

Besides, his command and military strength are not enough for Jiang Ce to abandon his principles.

[Ding dong, summoning the fifth character, Chen Qingzhi, a famous general of Southern Liang, with a Politics stat of 92;]

When people mention Chen Qingzhi, the first thing that comes to mind is "a great general and a master strategist, whose skill is so great that thousands of troops would avoid him in his white robes." This perfectly encapsulates his life's achievements.

In fact, Chen Qingzhi was not only good at fighting, but also had a remarkable track record in governing the local area. In fact, it could be said that his achievements complemented his military exploits.

When he was stationed on the border or in local areas, he changed the rough and rugged style of military generals, reduced taxes and levies, comforted the displaced people, and quickly restored the people's livelihood and order after the war.

He enforced strict military discipline, forbidding his soldiers from harassing the people. In the areas he governed, no one picked up lost items on the road, and the people's hearts were with him.

During his tenure in Yuzhou and other places, he promoted water conservancy projects, rectified official corruption, resolved ethnic conflicts, and brought peace and prosperity to the areas under his jurisdiction.

Although historical records focus on his military achievements, his administrative abilities are enough to make him transcend the category of a mere fierce general and become an all-around capable minister who can fight and govern.

[Ding dong, five candidates have been provided. Please remove two of them and summon from the remaining three.]

"Remove Grand Commandant Su and Xin Yunjing, and summon from among Chen Qingzhi and the other two," Jiang Ce said without hesitation.

The remaining three each have their own unique strengths.

Qian Daoji was skilled in both literature and military affairs, and was proficient in both politics and command.

Although Wei Renpu was a purely civil official, his political attributes were the highest, directly reaching the mid-level silver rank.

As for Chen Qingzhi, although his political attributes are only Bronze, his leadership and intelligence are definitely Silver, making him the most cost-effective of the three.

[Ding dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining Wei Renpu, a famous minister who founded the Later Zhou Dynasty, with a command 72, martial prowess 53, intelligence 95, politics 97, and charm 90;]

Implanted identity: A talent promoted by the host when he first arrived in Laiyang, currently serving as the registrar;

The group included four people: father-in-law Li Wenyu, wife Li, eldest son Wei Xianmei, and second son Wei Xianxi.

After summoning Wei Renpu, Jiang Ce did not continue summoning. After all, his current base of influence was too small. To put it nicely, he was called the Prince of Laiyang; to put it bluntly, he was equivalent to a county magistrate.

It should be noted that the only city under his control is Laiyang. With Wei Renpu's silver-level political attributes, he could govern not only Laiyang, but even a country, as long as he has a base of support.

However, while summoning is no longer needed, there is one crucial thing that may be ready to be used.

"System, now use the top 30 Emperor Soul Inheritance for me!" Jiang Ce immediately gave the system the instruction.

Jiang Ce had a general understanding of the top 30 emperors' soul inheritance mentioned by the system, thanks to the system's explanation!

Jiang Ce has one chance to choose one of the top thirty emperors in terms of overall ability on Blue Star China, and then the system will activate the Emperor Soul Inheritance.

The knowledge and wisdom accumulated by the other party throughout his life, his experience in major events, and his thoughts and feelings during critical choices will all be deeply conveyed to Jiang Ce in a way that is like a sudden enlightenment.

However, this is only the transfer of knowledge and experience, not that Jiang Ce directly possesses all of that emperor's abilities.

The result of this is that Jiang Ce will ultimately remain Jiang Ce and will not be replaced by the Emperor Soul inheritance; his independent consciousness will never be erased by the inheritance.

Just like in fantasy novels, where the protagonist encounters a secret realm and receives the inheritance of a powerful master, what he gains is combat experience and some insights into martial arts, but he will not be possessed by that powerful master.

As for the progress of digesting and inheriting the knowledge, it varies entirely from person to person.

The weaker a person's foundation, the longer it takes. It might take several years for an emperor to fully master all the knowledge he has acquired in his lifetime.

However, if one's own foundation far surpasses that of the chosen emperor, then there is no need to spend time; one can master it in an instant.

Moreover, the system clearly states that the selection is made from the top thirty emperors in history in terms of overall ability, which ensures that the quality of the succession is quite high.

After all, ancient emperors varied greatly in quality, ranging from wise and capable rulers to utterly incompetent ones. If one were to draw the latter, the succession would be worse than having none at all.

[Ding dong, top 30 Emperor Soul Inheritance draw in progress...]

Congratulations, host, you have obtained the imperial soul of Li Shimin, the Asian continental governor, the leader of the Eastern Hemisphere, the Great Tang Emperor Taizong, the Heavenly Khan, the Prince of Qin, the General of Heavenly Strategy, the Young Master of Taiyuan.

"It's Erfeng!"

When Jiang Ce saw that the person who had drawn the Emperor Soul was actually Li Shimin, he was instantly filled with excitement, because he was certain that he had won the grand prize in this Emperor Soul draw.

Among the hundreds of emperors in Chinese history, Li Shimin's status is at least in the top five, definitely belonging to the very top of the pyramid.

The list of candidates selected for this Emperor Soul selection consisted of thirty emperors throughout Chinese history who possessed exceptional comprehensive abilities; they were all among the best of the best.

To be able to select a legendary, multifaceted emperor like Li Shimin from this group of top figures is like winning the lottery; if that's not winning the lottery, then there's no such thing as a lottery in the world!

"Host, would you like to begin the transfer?"

Just as Jiang Ce was immersed in the shock of that incredible luck, the system's cold, emotionless electronic voice once again resounded in his mind.
