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

Chapter 41: Yan Ji's disorderly orders, the crisis of the country (seeking first order)

night.

Inside the North Palace.

Liu Hu woke up slowly and saw Yan Ji as soon as he opened his eyes.

"His Majesty!"

Yan Ji was overjoyed and quickly came over, "Are you awake?"

"Tell the Grand Tutor to come to the palace immediately!"

As if he had already realized the condition of his body, Liu Hu said with a little anxiety.

"Teacher?"

Yan Ji was stunned. "Your Majesty, what do you want to summon the Grand Tutor for?"

"Do you know the decree you issued earlier?"

A trace of pain flashed across Liu Hu's eyes, and he looked at Yan Xian with difficulty.

"If I could be at peace, I might be able to do it."

"But now my life hangs by a thread. This is all I can do."

There was still anger in Liu Hu's eyes, but he was helpless.

"Your Majesty, how can this be possible?"

Yan Ji was really a little panicked.

If Liu Hu really entrusted the great cause to Gu Xi again, she would probably not have a good ending in this life.

She quickly held Liu Hu's hand and said, "You will be well again."

"Even if Your Majesty really has an accident, I will definitely follow Your Majesty's wishes."

Liu Hu looked at Yan Ji and finally shook his head: "Let's call the Grand Tutor..."

"No! You must not tell the Master!"

Yan Ji immediately shook her head and suddenly shouted, no longer as obedient as before.

"Queen, you."

Liu Hu's expression suddenly changed. He stared at Yan Ji closely, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely help you do what you want."

Yan Ji was trembling all over.

The ambition in my heart is running wild.

She ignored Liu Hu's expression and pulled her hand out.

Let Liu Hu become more and more agitated.

Covering his mouth, he made no sound.

Liu Hu's expression became more and more desperate.

He had never expected such a change to happen.

Perhaps it was because the emotions were getting more and more excited.

His breathing suddenly became rapid. He raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at Yan Ji. Before he could speak, he closed his eyes.

Yan Ji stared at the scene closely, breathing heavily.

She forced herself to calm down.

Immediately, he sent someone to call Yan Xian, concealed the news of Liu Hu's death, and completely blocked the entire palace.

No one would have expected this.

Liu Hu has always been in good health. Although he is a little addicted to pleasure, he is still young after all.

Who would have thought that the emperor would die suddenly?

Even Gu Xi did not expect that he just suppressed Liu Hu's edict.

As the regent minister, Gu Xi was in charge of the Secretariat and could suppress the imperial edict.

How could he allow the prince's heir to enter the capital?
People's hearts will change.

The interests involved in the struggle for the national foundation have always been huge, and he would never take the gamble.

Even Gu Xi had made preparations like Huo Guang had done in the past.

However, after a few days, he began to notice something unusual.

Yan Ji continued to win over court officials and also replaced all key positions in the imperial guards with members of the Yan family.

In fact, this is a normal signal.

But the morals of the Gu family members are really too flexible.

In addition, Liu Hu has never shown up.

How could Gu Xi not have any guesses?
At that moment, he sent the Gu family members out of the capital.

As he went to the palace again and was stopped, Gu Xi was certain of the matter in his heart.

But it was obvious that Yan Ji knew that she could no longer hide it.

She had already secretly sent someone to bring Liu Yi, the son of Liu Shou, King Hui of Jibei, into the capital.

Immediately, it happened with lightning speed.

Before Gu Xi took any action, he announced Liu Hu's death and made his last edict known to the world.

Liu Bao was a man of no virtue, so he was deposed from the position of crown prince.

Liu Yi was appointed as the crown prince.

Yan Ji was the regent.

North Palace.

The ministers had different expressions.

Some people fell to the ground and cried bitterly, shouting: "I will obey His Majesty's will!"

Some people also had stern expressions.

At this point, who still can't see the clues?
Liu Yi, the son of a vassal king.

He suddenly appeared in Luoyang City when Gu Xi had already suppressed Liu Hu's edict, and was about to inherit the throne.

If you are still unaware of this at this point, how can you gain a foothold in this court?

Gu Xi's expression was also extremely ugly.

At this moment, his eyes were like sharp blades, staring at Yan Ji.

Yan Ji no longer had the fear she had for Gu Xi as before, and looked at him without flinching.

Seeing that Gu Xi hadn't knelt down yet, he asked, "Taifu, what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty has passed away. As a subject, how can I not kneel?"

Before Gu Xi could respond, Deng Zhi snorted coldly, "Queen, when did His Majesty pass away? Why did we only hear the news now?"

Yan Ji glanced at Deng Zhi coldly, a murderous look flashing in her eyes: "Your Majesty is furious and furious."

"He didn't even have time to summon his ministers before he passed away.

"What is the purpose of the General's question? Are you doubting me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch Fan Feng echoed in a tearful voice, "Your Majesty passed away so suddenly that there was no time to summon the ministers."

"Is General Charioteer's words intended to disturb the hearts of the ministers?"

"Grand Master," Jiang Jing cried, "You are an important official in the court. How can you watch the General of Chariots and Cavalry disturb the hearts of the officials at this moment?"

Both of them were close ministers of Liu Hu.

The two of them speaking out in succession undoubtedly made Yan Ji's words more credible.

Seeing this, the other ministers also spoke up.

"Grand Master, you have served through three dynasties and held immense power. The late Emperor has always trusted you. How could you act like this?"

"Since the late Emperor has left behind a will, appointing the Empress as regent, we must obey. Could it be that the Grand Tutor is reluctant to give up his power?"

"The Gu family has been deeply blessed by the Emperor. In the past, Marquis Zhongwu returned to Ji, and Marquis Wencheng gave up his power. They were both models of virtuous ministers. What is the reason for the Grand Tutor's actions now?"

"."

Questions came like a tide.

Yan Ji's political tactics should not be underestimated.

She tried to use her power to overpower others—

He used the power of his ministers to disrupt the situation; used the emperor's favor to prove the cause of death; and then relied on many conditions such as the will to directly threaten Gu's reputation.

Just to force Gu Xi to bow his head!
The atmosphere became increasingly tense, as if a conflict was about to break out.

At this moment, Taiwei Yang Zhen suddenly shouted: "Shut up!"

"What on earth do you want to do?"

"The Grand Tutor was a high-ranking official entrusted by the late Emperor Xiaohe with the care of his son. Empress Hexi also entrusted the important task of the Han Dynasty to the Grand Tutor."

"The late emperor treated the Grand Tutor like a father, so how could he have left such a will?"

"I think this is clearly a forged imperial edict!"

Yang Zhen was known for his integrity and uprightness in the court and was highly regarded by Gu Xi.

At this moment, he will definitely speak up, both for public and private reasons.

As he spoke, it was as if a switch was touched.

The origin also said angrily: "That's right!"

"When has His Royal Highness ever failed in his moral conduct?"

"How can he be abolished for no reason?"

"Besides, if it's true as the Queen said, that the late Emperor passed away suddenly, how could there be a will?"

Shangshu Ling Chen Zhong even stood up, glared at Jiang Jing and the others, and shouted angrily: "You are trying to usurp the country!!!"

"How dare you slander the Queen?" Yan Xian was enraged and glared at Chen Zhong, "Here is His Majesty's will!"

"If you continue to slander me, it will be tantamount to rebellion!"

"That's right!" Si Tu Liushou spoke coldly, scanning the crowd. He then looked at Gu Xi and said in a deep voice, "Grandmaster, since the late emperor has left his will, it must not be changed."

"I beg you, Grand Master, to reconsider. The reputation of the Gu family, which spans several generations, now rests entirely on the shoulders of one man, Grand Master."

"Liu Shu, you are aiding and abetting the evil!"

"Humph! Do you really intend to rebel? How dare you disobey the late Emperor's will and slander the Empress!"

"."

Questions came one after another.

Although it was a sad moment of the emperor's death, the court was like a bustling market.

Who can give in?
Whether it is for profit or for the remaining integrity in one's heart.

This is destined to be an unprecedented battle.

Yan Ji has always been paying attention to Gu Xi.

She has made all the preparations.

If Gu Xi really wanted to fight to the death, she would ignore everything else and bury Gu Xi directly in this deep palace.

She had no way out. This kind of thing, either don't do it or do it to the extreme.

As long as she can control the court.

That way she could turn black into white, and she would not be afraid even if it would be recorded in history.

Gu Xi didn't say a word.

He just glanced coldly at Yan Ji, Jiang Jing and others.

Without any further ado, he turned and left.

No one expected this scene.

The argument stopped abruptly.

Deng Zhi, Yang Zhen and others stood up and left without any hesitation.

Looking at their backs, Yan Xian's face became more and more furious. He said angrily, "Why not take this opportunity to kill them all?"

"No!"

Before Yan Ji could speak, Liu Shou quickly shook his head: "The Grand Tutor's reputation is extremely high throughout the world. If we act rashly, it will definitely cause chaos."

"good."

Yan Ji also nodded and said calmly: "Now the Tiger Guards and the Southern Army are all in our hands. No matter what he does, as long as he doesn't leave Luoyang, he will not be able to escape my control."

"If he really wants to rebel"

As she spoke, a smile flashed across Yan Ji's face. "That's exactly what I want. I don't need to worry about the people of the world anymore."

"The Grand Master will never rebel."

Liu Shou shook his head and said, "The Gu family's reputation is extremely high throughout the Han Dynasty."

"The Master is a smart man."

"He would never gamble with the Gu family's reputation."

Everyone nodded.

Liu Shou looked at Yan Ji and said, "The most urgent thing now is to let the new king ascend the throne as soon as possible."

"As long as this is done, big things can be done!!!"

Yan Ji nodded slightly, expressing her approval: "Yes, pass on the Queen Mother's order and order the new emperor to ascend the throne tomorrow!"

"Here!"

Everyone in the room bowed hurriedly.

From beginning to end, no one cared about the emperor's body which had begun to emit a strange smell.

Fortunately, it’s not summer now.

In addition, Yan Ji used some anti-corrosion methods.

Otherwise, Liu Hu's body might have rotted away long ago.

Champion House.

Naturally, the ministers followed Gu Xi all the way to the mansion.

Their expressions all looked a little ugly.

At this moment, we have reached a desperate situation.

If Yan Ji had let this matter come to an end, they would have been doomed to have no chance of recovery, and the Han Dynasty would have been doomed to a path of no return.

Looking at the ministers with serious expressions.

It was not until they entered the mansion that Gu Xi spoke for the first time. His expression was somewhat complicated, and he said with emotion, "I am truly not as good as my grandfather."

"Grand Master."

Everyone's expression also changed slightly.

"If my grandfather were still alive, the Han Dynasty would not have reached this point."

Gu Xi didn't care and continued to mutter.

After saying this, he looked at the ministers, his expression returned to normal, and said, "There is no need to panic."

"These people are wrong because they think that the success of Gu's company today is entirely due to me."

"If my guess is correct."

"They will definitely allow the new monarch to ascend the throne as soon as possible."

"When the time comes, you can follow me to welcome the emperor."

Hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.

Welcome the emperor?

Could it be that Gu Xi is really going to give up?
"Grandmaster!" Yang Zhen immediately asked, "What are you doing?"

It was a little hard for him to accept.

Gu Xi is an important minister entrusted with the care of the young emperor.

How could we tolerate this happening?
"Don't be impatient, Boqi. Just wait and see."

Gu Xi simply waved his hand, seemingly unwilling to say more.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but become even more panicked.

But Gu Xi didn't want to say more. He just sent everyone out and went to see Liu Bao.

"Grand Tutor... has my father really... passed away?" Liu Bao, who was only eleven years old, had a face full of sadness.

Gu Xi looked at him solemnly and nodded slowly: "Your Highness, there is no need to be overly sad."

"Your Highness, please remember to get a good rest tonight."

"Perhaps tomorrow will be the day when His Highness ascends the throne.

The throne?

These two familiar yet unfamiliar words suddenly emerged in Liu Bao's mind.

He stared at Gu Xi in a daze and asked in confusion, "Isn't Father going to abolish me?"

"It's just a forged imperial edict."

Gu Xi smiled faintly, looked at Liu Bao with a firm expression and said, "As long as I am here, I will never allow any unrest to occur in the Han Dynasty."

Liu Bao looked at Gu Xi in a daze, and out of absolute trust in Gu Xi, he nodded.

Immediately, she stretched out her small hand and took Gu Xi's arm, whispering, "Don't worry, Master."

"If I could really become the emperor."

"I will definitely not be like my father and let down the Grand Tutor's painstaking efforts."

He is indeed very smart.

Especially under Gu Xi's education.

He can see the changes in the government and the opposition more clearly.

It is very clear why all this happened.

Gu Xi smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

Gu Yi had been watching all this silently, feeling a little flustered.

Even he didn't expect things to develop to this point.

Gu Xi's action of getting rid of Wang Sheng did indeed have a huge impact.

Not only did it save the Han Dynasty from the corruption during Wang Sheng's reign, but it also prevented Emperor Liu Gu from causing harm to the government and the country.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for the Han Dynasty.

But good and bad are interdependent.

Liu Hu's character weakness was discovered, which completely led to this situation.

The existence of the Gu family changed the situation.

But it is impossible to completely change a person's character weaknesses.

Liu Hu has actually changed a little.

It's just that the flattery he received over the years has made him somewhat blindly confident, and the weaknesses in his character have been exposed once again.

He could probably guess what Gu Xi wanted to do.

In fact, the most powerful weapon of the Gu family now is reputation.

This is not just reputation in the government and the public, but also in the military!

This is a reputation built entirely by several generations of people who have made great contributions to the world, and it is incomparable to other families.

What Yan Ji did was already very good.

He won over the ministers and controlled the imperial guards to create a great situation.

This is even better than she did in the original history.

If the Gu family did not exist, she would definitely become the ruler of the Han Dynasty.

But not now
Gu Xi's prestige was so high that it even surpassed Gu Kang's.

Even Gu Kang was able to intimidate all the officials by himself.

What about Gu Xi?

Although if we talk about the greatest benefit, it is best for Gu Xi to protect himself now.

But for these people.

There are always some things that are destined to surpass life.

Gu Yi was also unable to interfere.

After thinking about it, he still didn't let Gu Xi take risks.

Instead, he took out the only item that might be of some use at the moment from his backpack - the Good Luck Card.

Directly choose to use.

Although Gu Yi was not sure whether this thing would work, he had to give it a try.

After all, it is also a Xuan-level item.

Taking the example of the longevity card, the effect of the Xuan-level props is not bad.

And it is different from the longevity card.

Good luck cards have a time limit.

The effect only lasts for one day.

Logically speaking, the effect should be better.

As for the special lottery, Gu Yi still held back.

This incident is indeed a crisis for the Gu family.

However, it is not enough to make Gu Yi use his achievement points again.

The reputation of the Gu family for several generations is too great.

Moreover, Gu Xi had already sent the Gu family members back to Hebei.

Even if Gu Xi failed in his mission, the Gu family would at most be dismissed, and there would be no massacre.

And next we will soon face the chaotic Three Kingdoms period.

If something really went wrong, he would have the opportunity to personally take action and change his fate.
