Emperor Wu of Han Seeks Talent by Imperial Decree, and I Become the Great Han's Imperial Tutor

After an accident, Xu Yan transmigrated to the Western Han Dynasty and became a spoiled young noble in a commandery of Yan.

It was the first year of the Jianyuan era.

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, issued an edict seeking talent, hoping to recruit the finest minds from across the land without regard to convention!

Dongfang Shuo: "I'm nine feet three inches tall, with eyes bright as pearls. I'm as brave as Meng Ben, as quick as Qing Ji, more frugal than Bao Shu, and as trustworthy as Wei Sheng. I hope Your Majesty will give me an official post."

Dong Zhongshu: "I have reasoned through yin and yang and mastered the Hundred Schools of Thought. In the end, I developed the Three Strategies of Heaven and Man, which can abolish the Hundred Schools and establish Confucianism as the sole doctrine, unifying the realm. I ask Your Majesty to consider it."

Xu Yan: "I have three strategies to strengthen the nation, its army, its people, and the realm, and to lay the foundation for the Han Dynasty to last for ten thousand generations. Unfortunately, the first strategy is too profound for you to understand, and the second requires a great emperor with the resolve and boldness to shape the ages... So I'll just tell you about the third, inferior strategy!"

Emperor Wu of Han: "..."

Three months later.

Inside Weiyang Palace, ruler and minister sat face to face and talked for ten days and ten nights.

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, was thoroughly convinced and honored Xu Yan as the Imperial Tutor of the Han Dynasty.
