The Human Emperor (1-200)

C93: Test!

Looking at those figures outside, Wang Chong was awed.

This was the greatest resource of the Wang Clan, as well as grandfather’s greatest asset.

The Wang Clan might be poor, and the monthly allowance of an offspring such a Wang Chong wasn’t even sufficient for him to dine at the Vast Crane Pavilion, but no one in the Central Plains dared to underestimate it.

The old master was an esteemed figure in the Great Tang Empire. He was highly respected in the royal court, and his students and old acquaintances filled the entire Great Tang Empire. These people were involved in every single aspect of the day-to-day operation of the Great Tang Empire, be it the finance, military, regional governor, teacher, scholar…

The people gathered here were from varying trades, and they possessed exceptional influence in their fields!

The strength of the Wang Clan wasn’t just mere talk. Even when the Yao Clan was at the peak of its power, it didn’t dare to underestimate the Wang Clan. Rather, they viewed it as an eyesore and tried their best to get rid of it as soon as possible so as to prevent them from rising up once more.

And what Wang Chong desired the most to attain after his reincarnation was the recognition of these students and old acquaintances of the old master. Whoever who earned their recognition and united them would gain fearsome power!

However, obtaining this power wouldn’t be easy, and even Wang Chong’s grandfather didn’t wield the qualification to pass this influence on to anyone. This wasn’t just a problem of whether grandfather was agreeable to it or not. Rather, the person in question must obtain the recognition of everyone here.

While it wasn’t a difficult task to obtain the recognition of a person or two, winning the respect of the majority wasn’t a simple task.

Wang Chong’s big brother didn’t succeed, Wang Chong’s second brother didn’t succeed, Cousin Wang Li didn’t succeed, and even big uncle, uncle, father, little uncle, and the others failed as well!

The inheritance of a powerful clan has never been easy, and this wasn’t just for the Wang Clan. The Yao Clan and the others faced the same problem as well, but the level of difficulty and the way the difficulty presented itself differed.

When the old master passes away in the future, he might pinpoint big uncle as his successor. However, it was a different question of whether these people were willing to recognize big uncle as their leader or not.

Out of respect for the old master, most of them might agree to it on the surface. However, it would be impossible for big uncle to drive this influence with the same level of ease the old master did.

This was the greatest problem in the inheritance of the Wang Clan!

This was also the greatest dilemma of the old master!

Boom!

Just as Wang Chong was contemplating over these matters, the doors of the Four Quarters Embassy abruptly opened. A large group of people excitedly entered the courtyard.

They didn’t squeeze or rush. Rather, they formed a queue naturally and moved orderly toward the Erudite Pavilion. Their faces were flushed, and they chatted with another as they proceeded in. The delight on their faces seemed as though the one celebrating his seventieth birthday wasn’t Wang Chong’s grandfather, but their own kin.

Upon seeing this sight, Wang Chong sighed deeply. His grandfather was probably the only one who was capable to winning their earnest respect.

Stepping down from the fake hill, Wang Chong watched as these people walked into the Erudite Pavilion to offer their blessings to the old master.
