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

Chapter 48 Returning to Beijing, Only Death
Liang Ji acted extremely decisively and quickly.

He cleverly grasped the current urgency of the Han Dynasty.

With Liang Rui's support, the new emperor was actually decided.

And the most important thing is that their actions are fundamentally different from those of Yan Ji at the beginning.

——Because Gu Xi is not in the court, and Gu Xi is no longer the regent!
There is actually an essential difference.

And the most important thing is that no one can be sure whether Gu Xi will come or whether he can arrive in Luoyang safely.

A dynasty cannot stop because of one person.

That's how it is today.

The emperor's death was destined to be impossible to conceal.

If the throne remains vacant, it is bound to cause unrest among the people.

The Han Dynasty needed an emperor to stabilize the people's hearts, and needed Empress Liang Nü to preside over the overall situation.

Although some ministers suggested that they might wait for the Grand Tutor to come before deciding the matter.

But this is destined not to gain the support of all ministers.

Let’s not even mention Liang Ji and the others.

Even an upright minister like the current Grand Marshal Li Gu would not support such a decision.

It is fair, just and for the world.

At this moment, we cannot put everything on Gu Xi alone.

And the most crucial thing is that this accident actually suppressed the incident of Liu Suan's inexplicable death in the palace that day.

It seemed like everyone knew that this was wrong.

However, the situation of the Han Dynasty is now critical, and everyone is afraid of causing trouble again.

Gu Yi had been watching all this and was a little surprised at this moment.

He never expected things to turn out like this.

In the original history.

After Liu Bao's death, the Han Dynasty went through Emperor Chong of Han Liu Bing, Emperor Zhi of Han Liu Zun, and finally to Liu Zhi.

But the magnitude of the changes today is unprecedented.

The increase in Liu Bao's lifespan resulted in Liu Bing's death before he became emperor.

It was also because of this that Liu Bao chose the older Liu Suan in order to prevent the new emperor of the Han Dynasty from dying young.

All of this development is extremely reasonable.

In fact, in the original history, Liu Suan was actually a strong competitor.

Many ministers supported him.

But the reason why he ultimately missed the throne was because he despised the eunuchs, which led Cao Teng and others to start supporting Liang Ji.

In the end, Liang Ji poisoned Emperor Zhi Liu Zun and established Liu Zhi as the emperor.

The development is completely different, but the final result is the same.

Gu Yi analyzed all this silently.

After observing for so long, he has gained a certain degree of understanding of this so-called historical revision.

To put it bluntly, it depends on the influence of the Gu family.

As long as the Gu family’s influence is too great.

The correction will come.

Just like Liu Zhuang in the past, the emergence of Gu Kang and Gu Sheng enabled the Han Dynasty to achieve unprecedented development.

Liuzhuang has long missed this great opportunity for continued development.

With the passing of Gu Kang and Gu Sheng, Gu Liang did not have much impact due to his lack of talent.

History has not been corrected.

Liu Zhuang's lifetime remained unchanged, and the Dou family was still in power in subsequent developments.

But as Gu Xi gradually gained momentum.

The correction comes again.

Although this is just Gu Yi's guess, it seems to be the case.

Gu Yi couldn't help but feel even more depressed about this.

This is completely going against the will of heaven.

The Gu family must ensure sufficient influence and also face the continuous revision of history.

The difficulty can be imagined!

Even Gu Yi began to worry about Gu Xi.

Given Gu Xi's character, will he return to Luoyang?

Will!

He is a man who is willing to bet his life for the Han Dynasty and his family.

But we can look at it from a historical perspective.

The disaster that the Eastern Han Dynasty would face next was unimaginable.

He wished he could control it directly now.

But unfortunately, Gu Yi’s current achievement points are not enough.

In order to save Gu Xi, he had spent tens of thousands of achievement points on the lottery.

Although over the years, the deaths of the children of the Gu family who held official positions and Gu Kang's special achievements have provided Gu Yi with some achievement points.

But these achievement points are really a drop in the bucket.

He was certain that Gu Xi's death would bring him a lot of achievement points.

But this does not change the reality.

For a moment, Gu Yi felt his mood suddenly become heavy.

Giant deer.

The atmosphere inside the Gu Mansion was extremely solemn.

The person sent by the court to deliver the news has arrived in Julu and informed Gu Xi of the shocking changes in the court.

This news came like a bolt from the blue.

Gu Xi stared blankly at the person who came to deliver the message, his expression unusually dull.

"Your Majesty, collapsed?"

He stared at the man closely and asked in a whisper.

After receiving a confirmed answer.

In an instant, Gu Xi knelt on the ground, and his eyes turned red at this moment.

He looked up at the sky blankly, shaking his head continuously.

"how could be?"

"How could His Majesty collapse at such a young age?"

"Didn't Your Majesty send a letter some time ago?"

He was full of confusion.

At first, he thought he would die soon, but he insisted on living until now.

Although I can clearly feel that my energy is not as good as before, I have never contracted a serious illness.

On the other hand, Liu Bao passed away at such a young age. How could Gu Xi not be heartbroken?
Liu Bao and he were more than just a monarch and his subject.

It can be said that the relationship between the two has long surpassed that between monarch and subject.

And the most important thing is that the Han Dynasty has lost another wise ruler!
On this day, the entire Gu Mansion was covered with mourning cloth.

Although Gu Xi was extremely sad, it was not beyond Gu Yi's expectations. He made the decision without much thought.

——Rush to Luoyang.

But after all, Gu Xi’s age is there.

Faced with his idea, almost all the children of the Gu family were somewhat resistant.

"Father."

"Are you really going to Luoyang? I'm afraid."

Gu Lin stared at Gu Xi, his face full of worry.

He is no longer young now.

behind him.

The same is true for all the descendants of the Gu family, including the sixth generation of the Gu family.

Gu Xi looked at the people in front of him, sighed softly, then looked up at the sky and murmured, "I think I have been deeply involved in the court since I was eleven years old."

"He is highly valued by Emperor Xiaohe."

"After Emperor Xiaohe passed away, I was entrusted with the care of his orphan."

"Together with Empress Hexi, we will rule the world."

"In the past, I was always worried that I would not accomplish my great cause and would die of illness like the previous emperors of the Gu family, thus failing Emperor Xiaohe and the ancestors of the Gu family."

"But now I just want to ask myself why I don't die."

He suddenly revealed a self-deprecating smile and continued, "Perhaps this is God's will."

"It is God's will that I, Gu Xi, die in the temple."

As he spoke, he looked at his descendants with a determined gaze, his expression gradually calming down. "You don't have to worry."

“To this day, the family is stable.”

"This trip is back to Luo."

"If we can support the Han Dynasty again, it will also be of great benefit to our Gu family."

"If he really died in the temple."

Gu Xi looked disdainful and smiled calmly, "It's just death. Then you can send me back to Julu for burial."

Even when facing life and death, Gu Xi remained incredibly calm, showing no fear at all. Several sixth-generation Gu family members stared at him in amazement.

Obviously, Gu Xi's words had a great impact on their young minds.

Gu made full preparations for this trip.

Gu Xi is indeed too old, so an imperial physician is indispensable for his journey.

Fortunately, Liu Bao had sent many imperial doctors to Julu in the past.

This is not really a problem.

Three days later, Gu Xi officially headed straight to Luoyang.

Countless people cried and saw him off.

This is completely the opposite of the situation when Gu Xi returned to Ji in the past.

Looking at Gu Xi's snow-white hair, everyone felt that Gu Xi might not be able to return to Ji alive, and the grief in their hearts forced them to come and see him off.

This is a reputation that others cannot understand at all.

The years since Gu Xi returned to Julu were the best time for the people of Julu.

No official dared to do anything wrong.

Even the local tyrants became more honest.

In addition to the favors that Gu had previously shown to the family, Gu Xi would also have the imperial physicians sent by Liu Bao treat the people.

Such a saint is now going back to Luoyang at the risk of his life. Who wouldn't be sad?

The back of the crowd.

A little boy couldn't help crying.

Although he couldn't see Gu Xi who was separated by the crowd because of his height, he cried very sadly.

Seeing his brother cry.

The two younger boys he was holding couldn't help crying.

One of the older boys couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why are you crying?"

Hearing his brother's question, the little boy wiped his tears and replied, "Mr. Gu is so old, but he still has a heart to save the world."

"It's really admirable."

The two younger brothers obviously didn't understand this.

But the little boy didn't care and continued, "I heard that in Gu's private school, there is a medical tradition."

"I have decided to go to Gu's private school to study medicine starting tomorrow."

"Even if I can't be as good as Mr. Gu, I must try to save the people of the world!"

After saying that, the little boy pulled his two younger brothers and quickly walked through the crowd, wanting to see Gu Xi with his own eyes.

But there are just too many people.

As he walked through the crowd, he could only see Gu Xi's carriage getting farther and farther away.

But even that's it.

He didn't feel lost at all.

Instead, he stared intently at Gu Xi's carriage, his gaze growing brighter.
Gu Yi has been paying attention to Gu Xi.

Of course, he was not worried about Gu Xi's health.

The longevity card means dying of old age.

If there had not been an accident where he was attacked by a sword, Gu Xi would definitely not have died in his early sixties.

What really worries Gu Yi is how Gu Xi will deal with these people hiding in the dark of the temple.

Even the ministers could sense that something was amiss, let alone Gu Xi?

If it were in the past
Gu Yi naturally had nothing to worry about.

But now it’s different, Gu Xi no longer has any real power.

Even his reputation has gradually faded with the passage of time.

Even though there are still some people in the court who were promoted by Gu Xi before.

But human nature is fickle, so how can we rely entirely on these people?
The risk Gu Xi took this time was too great.

But what could Gu Yi say?

Just like Liu Bei was defeated in his revenge for Guan Yu.

Some people may think that Liu Bei's move was stupid, but no one would say that Liu Bei was pretentious as a hero.

There is always something above all else.

In the past, the national situation was stable and he could leave with ease.

The country is in danger today, but he is willing to return at the risk of his life.

This is their persistence.

Luoyang.

Compared with previous returns of the Gu family head to the capital, Gu Xi's return this time was indeed much less pompous.

The Han Dynasty is currently in a period of national mourning, and many rituals cannot be used.

But Liang Rui still asked Liu Zhi to lead all the officials to welcome Gu Xi, including many civilians.

The news of Gu Xi's return to the capital even somewhat dispelled the sadness brought about by Liu Bao's death.

Liu Bao was a benevolent monarch.

His death is bound to have unimaginable impact on the entire world.

The only one that can influence.

That is Gu Xi, who has a higher reputation.

When the ministers saw Gu Xi again, they were almost stunned.

Gu Xi is indeed in his twilight years.

Now his hair is as white as snow and his face is covered with wrinkles.

But the only thing that has not changed is his unique temperament and his eyes that are still as sharp as an eagle.

"Greetings, Grand Tutor." Liu Zhi spoke first, breaking the silence.

Immediately afterwards, the ministers behind him saluted Gu Xi and said in unison, "We pay our respects to the Grand Tutor!"

Liu Bao had left an imperial decree in the past, stating that when officials from all over the country saw Gu Xi, it was as if they saw him in person.

This is something everyone knows.

Moreover, even without such an imperial edict, Gu Xi's reputation would still make all the ministers respect him.

"Your Majesty." Gu Xi glanced at Liu Zhi, recognized his identity, and hurriedly wanted to salute.

Liu Zhi quickly reached out to stop Gu Xi, saying earnestly, "The Grand Tutor is the pillar of our Han Dynasty, and I am just a child. How can I ask the Grand Tutor to perform a ceremony?"

Hearing this, Gu Xi was quite surprised.

I really didn't expect Liu Zhi to say such a thing.

In fact, many people think that Emperors Huan and Ling were both complete tyrants.

Let’s not talk about Emperor Ling.

Let’s just talk about Emperor Huan of Han, Liu Zhi, in history.

In fact, when he first ascended the throne, all his actions could be called those of a wise ruler.

He was able to get rid of powerful officials like Liang Ji who had been monopolizing power for many years.

That's enough to illustrate his intelligence.

Later, he also implemented policies such as reducing taxes and levies, rectifying the administration of officials, and selecting talented people in an attempt to restore the government.

These actions all show that he still has some ability.

It just changed later.

Liu Zhi is now obviously in his wise period.

Liang Ji had always stood beside Liu Zhi and did not show any hostility towards Gu Xi.

He even looked at Gu Xi and said, "With the return of the Grand Tutor, our Han Dynasty will be at peace and free from worries."

He acted as if he was very welcoming to Gu Xi.

Gu Xi's expression remained calm, as serious as ever.

After exchanging a few brief greetings with the ministers, he went straight into the palace to pay a visit to Liang Nü.

The moment she saw Gu Xi, Liang Rui immediately showed joy, and even stood up on her own initiative, saying with emotion: "The Grand Tutor has returned to the capital."

"The burden on me can finally be lightened."

Her expression was not fake at all.

Gu Xi took one look and confirmed the answer. His expression changed slightly, but he immediately bowed and said, "Old minister, I greet the Queen Mother."

"No need to be so polite, Master."

Liang Ru quickly waved her hands and said seriously, "The Grand Tutor is an elder, and his contributions to our Han Dynasty are far greater than mine."

"How can I let the Grand Tutor worship me?"

"Don't worry, Master."

"Now that the Grand Tutor has returned to the capital, just like when Empress He and Empress Xi were here, I will definitely follow his wishes."

The doubt in Gu Xi's eyes became more and more intense.

As he grew older, his judgment of human nature became more accurate.

He could see that Liang Rui was definitely not pretending.

This was somewhat beyond Gu Xi's expectations.

Gu Xi didn't say much. After confirming Liang Rui's attitude, he directly asked the question that he cared about most.

"Does the Queen Mother know what exactly happened on the day the late Crown Prince passed away?"

This is the question that Gu Xi has been thinking about.

He has become indifferent to life and death, so how could he let the person behind this go?
