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

Chapter 61: Destroy the bandits and replace the Grand Tutor!
The situation changed suddenly like a surging tide, and the ministers were suddenly in chaos, like frightened birds.

Gu Xi was too resolute.

He ignored everyone's dissuasion, issued another decree to all states in the world, and at the same time began to prepare the central army.

The Han temple, which had just stabilized and left, was instantly shrouded in a layer of haze again.

——And the haze this time is far greater than before!

This matter is bound to cause earth-shaking changes.

Empress Dowager He was placed under house arrest in Changle Palace, and the ministers were unable to pay her an audience.

In a hurry, many people focused their attention on Emperor Liu Bian, hoping that he could persuade Gu Xi.

That’s right, just give some advice.

For these aristocratic families, they were also afraid of Gu Xi.

Before, it was just because they all thought they were on the same front as Gu Xi.

These people have tried every possible means to make the matter sound very serious, and even said that the country might be destroyed.

This move really scared Liu Bian.

North Palace.

Liu Bian's face was full of panic and he looked terrified.

When Gu Xi saw him, he first bowed respectfully, then asked softly, "Your Majesty, what did you hear that caused you to be so alarmed?"

"Grandmaster!" Liu Bian stood up suddenly and walked quickly to Gu Xi. He stared at him and asked anxiously, "The ministers say that the Han Dynasty will be destroyed."

"As the emperor, I have no choice but to die."

"Could this be true?"

His eyes were filled with fear and his voice trembled slightly. He was obviously frightened by those words.

When Gu Xi heard this, his eyes suddenly became stern.

How bold!

Even if the emperor is young and powerless, it shouldn't be like this, right?
He said in front of the emperor that the Han Dynasty would be destroyed and even said that he would die.

How little do these people take the emperor seriously nowadays?

Gu Xi looked at Liu Bian calmly and asked softly, "Your Majesty, who told you this?"

He also had control over the palace and knew who had met Liu Bian, but it was difficult for him to know who specifically said those words.

Liu Bian hesitated for a moment, but finally revealed the names of those people: "Grand Marshal Yuan Wei, General He Jin, and Yang Biao."

Gu Xi's expression didn't change at all. After Liu Bian finished speaking, he simply said, "These people should all be killed."

Liu Bian's hand trembled slightly for a moment, and he was frightened by Gu Xi's cold words.

"Your Majesty." Gu Xi slowly squatted down, looking Liu Bian in the eye, and asked with a firm yet gentle gaze, "Do you trust this old minister?"

Liu Bian was completely stunned.

He stared at the wrinkles on Gu Xi's face, remained silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "I believe in you, Master."

"Then your majesty, there is no need to panic." Gu Xi smiled kindly, "I, your majesty, will help you resolve everything."

"When Your Majesty grows up, I will hand over this entire empire to You."

His tone was always so calm.

But inexplicably, Liu Bian suddenly felt the fear in his heart fade away.

He remembered many legends.

The legend about Gu Xi.

Finally, he smiled, nodded seriously, and said, "Okay!"

From that day on, Gu Xi once again restricted officials from seeing Liu Bian.

He did not kill those people.

If this were done, it would be forcing the gentry in the world to rebel.

At least not yet.

Facing such a strong Gu Xi.

This time, there was no obvious movement among the states in the world.

But that very month.

Groups of rebels emerged one after another in the prefectures and counties in all directions, and each movement was not small.

They captured cities, killed officials and robbed civilians.

Naturally, no one would choose to oppose Gu Ximing's work.

Gu Xi’s prestige is too high.

Everyone has to consider this point. If they make any move openly, they will be labeled as such and how they will be judged by the people of the world.

But for these people, this is enough!

The rebellion spread rapidly.

The worst case even spread to the Hanoi area and headed straight for Luoyang.

What followed were reports from various places.

He said that military power should not be revoked, but that rebels and the like could be controlled.

This time, Gu Xi set off!
He handed Luoyang over to the descendants of the Gu family, and sent his confidants brought from Hebei to the eight passes of Luoyang to stabilize the situation in Luoyang.

He himself led the central army.

With lightning speed, the rebels in Hanoi were wiped out within a few days.

He once again announced to the world that any disobedience to private troops would be regarded as treason, and acted as if he was willing to personally lead the army to quell the rebellion.

——The whole world is shocked!
Gu Yi had been watching all this and did not feel relaxed at all because of Gu Xi's victory.

This can only be Gu Xi.

If anyone else, even Emperors Liu Zhi and Liu Hong, were to do this, it would not have such an effect.

Even their imperial edicts might not be able to leave Luoyang.

But even so, can this matter be resolved so easily?

Obviously impossible.

How could the power of the aristocratic families in the late Eastern Han Dynasty be eliminated so easily?

Just from the Three Kingdoms and Wei and Jin Dynasties in the original history, we can see how terrifying the power of the aristocratic families is.

Although for the current Han Dynasty, the aristocratic families have not yet developed to such a peak.

But if they join hands, they will definitely be a force that is enough to shake the world.

If Gu Xi really wants to succeed.

The only option is to defeat everyone, which is obviously impossible without bloodshed!
Huai County.

In the military camp.

A group of central army generals were gathered in front of Gu Xi, asking for battle.

The Han army has not yet reached the stage where all the children of aristocratic families come in to make contributions as it will in the future.

Every one of them is a warrior.

For these people, there are no twists and turns at all.

They just wanted to follow Gu Xi into battle, kill the enemy, and make meritorious deeds.

Gu Xi would not mobilize troops.

He just wants to maintain the current situation.

The aristocratic families still have concerns and dare not rebel openly, which is beneficial to him.

Just need to fight a few more battles like this.

At that time, if he shows a little goodwill, people will surrender.

This can then affect the overall situation.

This is the human heart.

These generals naturally followed Gu Xi's orders.

Gu Xi stationed his troops in Hanoi, waiting for the aristocratic families to take action again.

Sure enough, a few days later.

The rebels from all over the country quickly gathered in Hanoi as if they had received some kind of signal.

There are tens of thousands of them, and their strength is extraordinary.

Most of them were well-equipped and their marching was quite solid.

The entire rebel army attacked Gu Xi's position in three directions: Yewang, Xiuwu and Wenxian.

These people fight very bravely.

Even when facing Gu Xi, he never showed too much fear.

This is destined to be a big war.

Fortunately, Gu Xi's command attribute is not low, and the central army is well-equipped.

He first tore a hole in Yu Xiuwu's body.

Then the counterattack began.

Yu Yewang defeated the rebel army and killed nearly 10,000 enemies.

The remaining rebel forces had to retreat to Xiuwu.

This time, Gu Xi obviously wanted to conquer the world with one battle.

After the battle, he immediately prepared his army, intending to annihilate all the troops in Hanoi, laying the foundation for reform in one battle. When the news spread, the whole world was shocked!
The night is dark and the stars and moon are hidden.

Luoyang.

He Jin, dressed as a eunuch, was walking quickly towards Changle Palace.

He walked hurriedly with a nervous look on his face, and was very careful along the way, fearing that he would be discovered.

Empress Dowager He has been living in fear recently.

Gu Xi's attitude towards her already made him uneasy.

In addition, the huge gap between the before and after makes it difficult for a jealous person like her to accept it.

At this moment, she was tossing and turning on the bed.

——Crack!
At this moment, the palace door was suddenly pushed open.

Empress Dowager He sat up suddenly like a frightened deer and shouted sharply, "Who!"

"Empress Dowager, it's me!" He Jin's deep male voice rang out instantly.

Hearing this familiar voice, Empress Dowager He was stunned: "Brother?"

"Queen Mother!"

He Jin closed the door and walked forward quickly, regardless of any etiquette.

Empress Dowager He didn't care about these things.

When she saw He Jin's face, she immediately showed a look of surprise: "General, why are you here?"

As she spoke, she frowned again, looked at He Jin's eunuch attire, and asked, "Why are you dressed like that?"

"Empress Dowager." He Jin immediately lowered his head, sighed, and said, "The Grand Tutor has extremely strict control within the palace."

"If I hadn't dressed like this, how could I have met the Queen Mother?"

"Ugh"

Hearing this, Empress Dowager He couldn't help but sigh, her eyes once again showing anger, and she said self-deprecatingly: "I never thought of it."

"You and I are siblings, one is the Queen Mother, the other is a general, yet you ended up like this."

She wanted to say something more.

But at this moment, He Jin suddenly interrupted her and asked, "Does the Queen Mother want to change the situation?"

"Change of situation?" Empress Dowager He was stunned for a moment.

"I have something to ask, and I beg Your Majesty to make a decision immediately!"

He Jin knelt down and looked at Empress Dowager He seriously, saying, "I would like to ask for a handwritten letter from you to open the eight passes of Luoyang."

"The Eight Passes of Luoyang?" Empress Dowager He frowned. "Isn't this once again controlled by the Grand Tutor's trusted aides?"

"Queen Mother."

He Jin took a deep breath, his body trembling slightly, and he looked extremely nervous. He said in a trembling voice, "Although the Grand Tutor is extremely well-prepared in the Eight Passes."

"But many ministers in the court have paid a huge price and secretly bribed some people."

"We only need to wait for a letter from the Queen Mother, and then we can act immediately."

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager He's expression changed drastically.

She seemed to have guessed something, staring closely at He Jin, and asked with a trembling voice, "Why is this?"

He Jin stared at Empress Dowager He and asked instead, "Empress Dowager, do you really want to continue like this?"

In an instant, Empress Dowager He fell silent.

He Jin continued to persuade her: "Queen Dowager, as long as the Grand Tutor dies."

"You are the true queen mother, and I am the general who controls the military power of the world."

"The court officials have already promised me."

"At that time, the He family's descendants can marry into the big clans, and the big clans will also give up some land to our He family."

"As long as it works."

"The He family will then be able to join the ranks of the noble families and enjoy eternal prosperity and wealth."

His eyes were filled with greed, and his body was shaking uncontrollably from excitement and nervousness.

"This...this..." Empress Dowager He's expression changed completely. She never expected that He Jin would say these words.

I feel a little fear instinctively.

But the temptation of power made her yearn for it.

At this moment, she couldn't help shaking, staring at He Jin and asked, "Can this be done?"

"What if the Grand Tutor doesn't die?"

"Could the Grand Tutor dare to murder the Queen Mother?" He Jin asked, "Could the situation be worse than it is now?"

In the light of the candle, he looked like a devil crawling out of hell, his face full of greed.

"Dong Zhuo is now stationed in Anyi."

"As long as we can open the Luoyang Pass, we can then attack the Taifu's rear and attack the rebels from both sides."

"He couldn't possibly have thought of this. Besides, Gu Xi is still a human being, so how could he be invincible?"

Seeing that Empress Dowager He was still hesitant, He Jin became more and more agitated and kept talking while kneeling on the ground.

"Queen Mother!"

"Are you still hoping to outlast the Master?"

"Even if the Grand Tutor dies, given his character, will he return the power to you?"

"Besides, is it true that Taifu will not rebel?"

"Human hearts are hard to predict, let alone the world."

"Who in the world can compare to the reputation of the Grand Tutor now?"

"If the Grand Tutor were to gather all the power in the world at this time, even usurping the throne would be easy for him."

"Have you ever thought about this?"

Empress Dowager He's expression became increasingly ugly.

She stared at He Jin closely, her eyes filled with both anger and irritation towards Gu Xi.

He Jin seemed to have given up completely and continued, "The Grand Tutor has a very close supervision in Luoyang. This opportunity tonight is something we have been planning for a long time."

"If the Queen Mother doesn't seize the opportunity."

"I am afraid."

Before He Jin finished speaking.

A look of madness also appeared on Empress Dowager He's face.

She finally made a decision and nodded seriously: "Okay!"

Anyi.

When I received the letters from He Jin and Yuan Wei.

Dong Zhuo was a little confused.

In fact, for him, He Jin was not so bad, the main problem was Yuan Wei.

You must know that Yuan Wei was Dong Zhuo's sponsor.

In this era, Dong Zhuo is already considered a disciple and former official of the Yuan family.

Dong Zhuo had always wanted to rely on the influence of the Yuan family to improve his political status and even allow his family to join the ranks of the aristocracy.

Dong Zhuo had to consider his suggestion.

But this matter was too big, and he was a little hesitant.

"My lord, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Li Ru said with his eyes shining, staring at Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo nodded, sighed softly and said, "How could I not know?"

"Kewenyou"

"If we fail to attack the Master, then I will wait..."

"How could we fail?" Li Ru smiled calmly, his eyes becoming brighter. "Mingsir, the Eight Passes of Luoyang are a dangerous place."

"Taifu could not have predicted that our army would march directly to Luoyang."

"The Grand Tutor is now facing the enemy in Hanoi."

"I have considered this carefully. Ordinary rebels would never dare to confront the Grand Tutor head-on. These people must be private soldiers secretly trained by the powerful clans from all directions."

"They are different from those rebels."

"I will never be defeated easily by the Master."

"As long as our army can seize the opportunity, we can attack from both front and back."

“But everything is accomplished.”

Li Ru paused for a moment, then bowed to Dong Zhuo and said, "My Lord, you can go to Luoyang in person and take the place of the Grand Tutor!"

In an instant, Dong Zhuo stood up suddenly.

This was something he had never thought of!

He originally just thought that this move would make the aristocratic families look up to him and gain benefits from it.

Replace Gu Xi?
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering all the worries in Dong Zhuo's heart.

His hands couldn't help but tremble, his chest kept rising and falling, and his breathing became heavier.

Until a long time later.

He then slammed the table in front of him and said with a firm face:
"Pass on my orders, assemble the troops!"
