Control your ancestors and create an immortal family starting from the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 28: Following the Dragon, Gu Xi and Liu Zhao
Gu Yi didn't know whether this could be considered a targeted historical revision.

But in terms of medical technology in this era.

Gu Xi is only ten years old now, and any disease can threaten his life.

Let’s look at the current situation of the Gu family.

If Gu Yi had not interfered, Gu Xiruo would have died young and Gu Liang would have passed away later.

The Gu family will definitely weaken rapidly.

Unless another extraordinary talent appears, he will surely be lost in the crowd and disappear completely into history just like he did originally.

Gu Yi sighed deeply. He would not sit idly by and watch this happen.

Although he didn't know whether this would be useful.

But he still had an idea and called out the lottery interface.

Instantly, the prompt popped up again.

There was still no lottery UI, it was very simple and clear, just asking Gu Yi how many times he wanted to draw.

Gu Yi thought about it and directly chose to draw five times.

Each lottery requires 10,000 achievement points.

As time passed in the game, the people of the world's endless worship of Gu Kang, coupled with the passing of the second generation of Gu's descendants, unlocked some ordinary achievements, which also brought some achievement points to Gu Yi.

He now has more than 330,000 achievement points.

Gu Yi naturally couldn't go all in.

Not to mention whether you can draw the props that can successfully rescue Gu Xi.

Even if he rescued him, he still needed to consider how much Gu Xi could accomplish and how many achievement points it would bring to him.

Gu Yi must retain a certain amount of achievement points to deal with the upcoming chaos that will be famous throughout history!
Close to three hundred thousand.

This is Gu Yi’s current bottom line.

[The draw was successful. 】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Common-level item - The Illness-Curing Talisman.]

[(General) Medicine-Curing Talisman: After using, you can designate a family member to cure their illness.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Common-level item - Strength Talisman.]

[(General) Strength Talisman: After use, you can designate a family member to increase their strength. Duration: One day. After the effect ends, they will fall into a short period of weakness.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Xuan-level item - Good Luck Card.]

[(Xuan) Good Luck Charm: After use, you can designate a family member to increase their luck. Duration: One day.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Xuan-level item - Longevity Card.]

[(Xuan) Longevity Card: After use, you can designate a family member to live to the end of their life.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Xuan-level item - Wall Breaking Card.]

[(Xuan) Wall Breaking Card: After using, you can designate a newborn in your family to break the lower and upper limits of their attributes, and increase their attributes based on various factors.]

[Current lucky value: 5%]

(When the luck value reaches 100%, you will definitely get heaven-level and god-level items.)
A series of prompts flashed by in an instant.

Maybe it was because I got a god-level item for free the first time.

Although he had obtained what he wanted, Gu Yi didn't feel excited at all.

What the hell are these?

Not to mention that they can only be used by one person, some even have side effects?
Isn't the effect far different from that of god-level props?
And what about luck value?
Will I get an SSR every 100 draws?
Gu Yi sighed softly, then opened his backpack and began to think as he looked at the props in it.

"Aren't the effects of the healing talisman and the longevity card somewhat overlapping?"

Live a normal life to the end of life
Solve a disease.
After thinking about it, Gu Yi decided to use the "Longevity Card" on Gu Xi.

Gu Xi's ability is worthy of recognition.

The next period of time was a critical period for the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

Having someone like this as a backup does make Gu Yi feel more at ease.

The night is as dark as ink, at the Marquis of Guanjun’s Mansion.

Candles flickered inside the house.

Looking at Gu Liang, who had a heavy expression on his face, and then at Gu Xi, who lay on the bed with a pale face, Liu Qing couldn't help but sigh: "Marquis Guanjun, please take care of your health."

"Don't be too sad."

"Your Majesty told me that he is still young and still needs to rely on the Champion Marquis. The Han Dynasty still needs to rely on the Champion Marquis."

Liu Qing's voice was extremely childish, but his expression was very calm.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your concern."

Gu Liang responded, but his expression remained heavy.

His heart was really confused.

How could he not know the talents of the Gu family's children until now?
Looking at all these people.

Only Gu Xi can catch his eye.

But now that Gu Xi has fallen ill, how can he not be worried?
Gu Liang knew that his talents were insufficient.

He had been moving forward tremblingly for many years, fearing that the Gu family would be completely desolate in his hands. Now that there seemed to be some hope, who could have expected this situation to happen?
Looking at Gu Liang's expression, Liu Qing sighed again, but couldn't help but said, "Champion Marquis."

"Your Majesty said that he had the ambitions of Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaowu, and also had the lofty aspirations of Emperor Xiaoming."

"Please remember to take good care of your health."

His eyes were fixed on Gu Liang.

But Gu Liang seemed to be really confused and didn't notice the meaning of his words at all.

At this moment, a young but firm voice suddenly sounded:
"Please tell His Majesty."

"Father will take good care of himself and await His Majesty's decree, just as our grandfather and the Ming Emperor did in the past, to forge a prosperous era together!"

The sudden sound startled the two people in the room and they subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw that Gu Xi had opened his eyes at some point and actually sat up from the bed.

His face was no longer as pale as before, and there was a bright light shining in his eyes, as if he had regained vitality and energy.

These are exactly what he said.

"Xier!"

Gu Liang was so excited that he stood up from his chair, a smile of surprise instantly blooming on his face, "You...you..."

"Father, I'm all better now!"

"I made my father worried."

As Gu Xi spoke, he quickly jumped off the bed and bowed respectfully to Gu Liang.

At this moment, he walked briskly and was full of strength, completely different from the sickly look he had shown a few days ago.

"Yeah!"

Gu Liang was overjoyed. He pulled Gu Xi over and laughed, "Xi'er has recovered. There's finally hope for our Gu family!"

Liu Qing looked at the dramatic scene in front of him in astonishment, his heart full of surprise.

He never expected that Gu Liang would say such touching words because of Gu Xi's recovery.

Could it be that this youngest son of the Gu family has some extraordinary qualities that makes Gu Liang place such high hopes on him?

While he was thinking.

Gu Xi straightened his clothes, turned to face Liu Qing, and saluted respectfully:
"The boy has met the king."

"Please tell His Majesty what I just said."

"My Gu clan will eagerly await your Majesty's decree and will do our utmost to contribute to the prosperity of the Han Dynasty."

Gu Xi's expression was relaxed and confident, with a faint smile on his face. His every move revealed a calmness and grandeur that far exceeded his age.

The surprise in Liu Qing's eyes became even stronger.

The guess in my mind was confirmed in an instant.

He then smiled and turned to look at Gu Liang: "Great! Marquis Guanjun, your son's serious illness has been cured. It is God's blessing on us."

"Please take care of yourself."

"I will report this to His Majesty."

After saying that, he bowed to Gu Liang, turned around and walked out.

At this moment, Gu Liang's mind and eyes were full of Gu Xi, so he had no time to send Liu Qing off.

He was about to ask Gu Xi about the reason for his recovery, but Gu Xi spoke first:

"Father, didn't you understand what King Qinghe meant just now?"

"Hmm?" Gu Liang couldn't help but frown when he heard that, and looked at Gu Xi with a puzzled look.

Gu Xi's face showed a hint of longing, and he explained: "He told my father that Your Majesty has the heart of Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaowu."

"This is telling father that Your Majesty intends to do as Emperor Wen did in killing my uncle Bo Zhao, and Emperor Wu did in killing my uncle Dou Ying."

"He said Your Majesty has the ambition of a Ming Emperor."

"I'm just asking father whether the attitude of my Gu family will remain the same as that of my grandfather and the Ming Emperor."

"How can father hesitate at this moment?"

Gu Liang’s frown deepened.

His political level is actually not bad, but his mind was in a mess just now, so he didn't react.

At this moment, Gu Xi has completely pointed it out.

How could he not understand these principles?

In an instant, he revealed an expression of lingering fear, "Fortunately, there is still Xi'er."

"Otherwise, my Gu family will be destroyed by my father's hands."

"Xi'er is truly the Qilin son of the Gu family."

The more he looked at Gu Xi, the more satisfied he became. Seeing Gu Xi's thoughtful expression, he couldn't help but ask again: "Xi'er, what are your plans?"

"Father, I believe that Prince Qinghe will not be able to come to our Guanjun Marquis Mansion often. We must contact His Majesty."

"I want to enter the palace."

Gu Xi looked at Gu Liang seriously and said.

"Enter the palace?"

Gu Liang didn't hesitate at all and shook his head: "This is not appropriate. If anything unexpected happens, you will be..."

"Father!"

Before Gu Liang could finish, Gu Xi grabbed his hand and said, "We at Gu's must seize this opportunity!"

"If we can really make a great contribution from this matter..." "Father, do you know what this is called?"

Gu Xi stared at Gu Liang closely and lowered his voice a little, "Follow the dragon!"

In an instant, Gu Liang's hand trembled slightly.

"Son, remember, during the reign of Emperor Ming, I told my grandfather that the children of our Gu family could go to the palace to study."

"My son is at the right age to study."

Gu Liang's expression became more serious, and his eyes were full of hesitation.

Isn't this a bit too big a gamble?
If something unexpected really happens, the Gu family will be doomed!
Gu Xi saw his emotions, and holding his hand a little harder, he solemnly called out again:

"Father!"

"We, the Gu family, will either advance or retreat!"

"There may never be another opportunity like this again!"

Gu Liang's expression became more and more conflicted, but he also knew that what Gu Xi said was right.

After hesitating for a long time, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay!"

Gu Yi has been watching all this silently.

It is a pity that Gu Liang has reached such a hesitant point.

In fact, his attributes are really not bad.

But it can only be said that the previous two generations of the Gu family stood too high and raised him to a position that he could not bear.

Years of forbearance and retreat, and facing various things that he was unable to handle.

All of this has completely changed Gu Liang's character, and it will probably be difficult for him to be decisive again in his life.

As for Gu Xi, he was as high-spirited as Gu Kang was back then.

No, even at the same age, he performed better than Gu Kang.

Although in terms of attribute limits, Gu Xi is not as good as Gu Kang.

But the two are fundamentally different.

Gu Kang is the type of person who becomes stronger little by little.

As for Gu Xi, he is extremely talented, just like many top students. Although he is not very hardworking, his early grades are very good.

Gu Xi is like this.

Even if his subsequent peak cannot compare to Gu Kang, it is enough for the current Gu family.

He really said it well.

This matter is about following the dragon!

Zhangde Hall.

Liu Qing rushed in and went straight to Liu Zhao, shouting with a look of joy: "Your Majesty!"

"How is it?" Liu Zhao looked at him anxiously, "Does the Champion Marquis have a reply?"

"No."

Liu Qing simply shook his head and sighed softly, "From my perspective, the current Champion Marquis isn't as wise and decisive as the former Zhongwu Marquis and Wencheng Marquis. He's even inferior to Huan Marquis."

"But his son gives me a very special feeling."

"It seems to have the style of Marquis Wencheng of yesteryear."

"Oh?" Liu Zhao frowned instantly and asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

Liu Qing did not hide anything and directly told what had just happened at the Marquis of Guanjun's Mansion.

Liu Zhao has been listening carefully.

Until the end, a smile appeared on his face.

“Fun and interesting!”

"As expected of a descendant of the Gu family, he's as brave and courageous as I am."

It was rare for Liu Zhao to be so happy.

Perhaps it was due to the influence of Emperor Guangwu and Emperor Xiaoming.

For Liu Zhao, it was a matter of pride to have a particularly talented member of the Gu family to assist him.

Not to mention the current situation.

Although he is still young, he is very aware of his current situation.

Dou bullied him too much!

Although he was the emperor, he had no real power and was even monitored on a daily basis.

It is a good thing for him to get help from the Gu family now!
"Brother, do you really think this man has the ability of Marquis Wencheng?" Liu Zhao asked again.

Liu Qing was silent for a moment. "Marquis Wencheng is a man of extraordinary talent. As for this boy, I may not know at this moment."

"But I believe that this boy must have understood the profound meaning of your Majesty's words."

"And there will definitely be action!"

Hearing this, Liu Zhao nodded slightly and said, "I hope so."

"Now that all the ministers have gathered around Marquis Guanjun, it has saved me a lot of trouble."

He slowly stood up, his eyes becoming even colder at this moment: "Humph!"

"Dou is truly disrespectful to me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had this thought."

"It is a pity that Marquis Wencheng died too young, and the late emperor was too merciful."

"If Marquis Wencheng were still alive, the fact that Guo Ju was having an affair with a concubine would have been enough to completely depose the Dou family."

"If that were the case, how could we have such trouble today?"

Liu Zhao clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with murderous intent, "If I ever come to power, I will never be so merciful!"

"His Majesty."

Liu Qing immediately lowered his head and advised, "The situation is still uncertain, so you must not say such things again."

"I know."

Liu Zhao's expression quickly returned to composure, and he chuckled as if to mock himself. "Throughout history, where has there ever been an emperor like me?"

"Even in the palace, you have to be careful when speaking."

"They really take advantage of my youth."

Liu Qing lowered his head and sighed deeply.

The next day, news came that Gu Xi had entered the palace to study.

Liu Zhao and Liu Qing were overjoyed. Although they knew what was going on, they did not act impulsively.

The Gu family is now the banner of opposition to Empress Dowager Dou.

It has already attracted much attention.

Inside the palace, Dou also arranged many people to watch over Liu Zhao.

Gu Xi's sudden entry into the palace would surely attract a lot of attention, so how could they meet under such circumstances?

But whether it is Gu Xi or Liu Zhao.

Neither side is in a hurry.

They had clearly never met before, but it was as if they had made an appointment together, without revealing a single flaw.

At the same time, disputes continued within and outside the government.

Empress Dowager Dou's autocracy has angered everyone, and no one is willing to give up their own interests to the new Dou family for nothing.

This is bound to cause great friction.

Shangshu Pushe Zhi Shou wrote a letter to impeach Dou Xian for his arrogance, and even cited the example of Wang Mang.

This incident caused shock to the government and the opposition.

In today's Han Dynasty, being named Wang Mang would probably bring eternal infamy.

Dou Xian was a vindictive person, and he immediately impeached Zhi Shou for buying public land and slandering the court.

He should be executed according to his crime.

Gu Liang and Yuan An bailed him out and commuted his sentence to exile.

However, Zhi Shou was so angry that he committed suicide in his mansion before setting off.

This incident changed the atmosphere of the entire government and the country.

All the ministers were frightened by the power of the Dou family.

However, because the Gu family still exists, many people still fight in the court and the country by relying on the power of the Gu family.

They submitted joint petitions for several consecutive days.

Under such circumstances, Empress Dowager Dou actually made concessions.

He actually sent Dou Xian out to lead the troops.

When this incident happened, the government and the public were shocked.

The Dou family has been prominent until now, and now Dou Xian wants to hold military power again?

The entire court was shrouded in a gloom.

And amidst this situation of countless open and covert struggles, a latent period of more than three months lasted.

The number of people coming to monitor Gu Xi is also decreasing.

There is no way, after all, Gu Xi is too young.

After more than three months of surveillance, I have finally taken a fancy to the Gu family.

One day, a eunuch named Zheng Zhong suddenly found Gu Xi.

When Gu Xi heard that the eunuch said he was sent by the emperor, he was also extremely surprised.

But after thinking about it, I felt that this might indeed be a way to break the deadlock.

There was no way he could meet the emperor.

This is for sure.

Liu Qing was obviously very sensitive. If he wanted to contact foreign officials, the eunuchs who were not paid attention to by the Dou family would be the most suitable ones.

"What are your plans, Your Majesty?" Gu Xi asked directly.

Zheng Zhong saluted Gu Xi seriously, without any intention of belittling him, and said solemnly:

"Your Majesty would like to ask the Marquis of Guanjun, since Dou Xian is now in charge of the troops outside, is there any way to deal with him?"

Hearing this, Gu Xi was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

“Maybe we can give it a try.”
