Chapter 100: Chapter 38: Yan Ji’s Slander, Division Between Sovereign and Ministers (Part 3)

"This move also makes it easier for me to teach the Crown Prince."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ji immediately frowned and instinctively wanted to speak out to stop him.

However, Liu Hu didn’t pay any attention to her and directly waved his hand, "This matter, let the Grand Tutor decide."

"I accept the order." Gu Xi once again bowed to Liu Hu, then turned and left.

Liu Hu’s mood was obviously still not good, his face always had a faint look of gloominess. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Watching Gu Xi leave.

He then sat back down again, just about to call back the songstress, when he suddenly heard Yan Ji sigh softly.

Liu Hu immediately looked at Yan Ji, frowned, and asked, "Why is the Empress sighing?"

"I... just feel that the Grand Tutor seems a bit disrespectful to Your Majesty."

Yan Ji’s eyes suddenly turned red, as if tears could fall at any moment.

"Your Majesty even calls the Grand Tutor first for family matters."

"What a kind of heavy reliance this is?"

"And the Grand Tutor... is actually lecturing Your Majesty, could it be that Your Majesty does not know these reasons?"

"The Grand Tutor even treats Your Majesty like a child..."

Yan Ji’s expression grew more and more sorrowful.

After hearing it, Liu Hu only felt more annoyed, but he still suppressed this emotion and comforted Yan Ji in his arms:

"Empress, please do not say such things in the future."

"The Grand Tutor is a chief minister entrusted by Emperor Xiaohe."

"With great merit to our Great Han."

"To me, the Grand Tutor is both a teacher and a father..."

"I understand." Yan Ji suddenly interrupted Liu Hu, tears streaming down her cheeks, crying as she looked at Liu Hu, "I just feel pity for Your Majesty."

"Nowadays, all the people in the world praise the Gu Clan’s grace."

"In the court, the ministers are intimidated by the Grand Tutor, and even the Gu Clan’s faction controls the central army."

"Everywhere in the world, they talk about how great the Gu Clan is..."

"But without our Great Han’s successive sovereigns, how could the Gu Clan be so illustrious today?"

"Could our Great Han’s enlightened sovereigns not create a prosperous age without the Gu Clan?"

"Could Your Majesty not govern the country?"

"I just feel wronged for the successive sovereigns and Your Majesty..."

Liu Hu stared closely at Yan Ji, the annoyance on his face becoming even more intense.

This time, he no longer said much, but his gaze became more profound.

Obviously, these words had already taken root in his heart.

On that same day, Liu Hu issued several edicts.

He promoted the descendants of the Yan Clan to key positions within the Forbidden Army, overseeing the Emperor’s guard.

This matter caused a massive shock in the court and among the populace!

These people were all old foxes.

Liu Hu’s clear decree showed he was stripping power from the Gu Clan!

Everyone figured it out...

There must have been a rift between Liu Hu and Gu Xi.

Gu Yi had been silently watching all of this, without any surprise in his heart.

This Emperor Liu Hu, even in the original history, listened to a lot of slanderous advice.

This was entirely due to his nature.

Even though the Gu Clan was now seemingly altering the situation, how could one change a person’s nature?

Moreover, in Gu Yi’s view, the most crucial factor wasn’t even Yan Ji’s slander.

Simply put...

Liu Hu had become arrogant.

He truly believed he no longer needed to rely on anyone.

This was the fundamental reason for the distance between him and Gu Xi!...

.....

Champion Marquis Mansion.

Gu Xi did not react too excessively to this, instead comforting Liu Bao.

Liu Bao was genuinely frightened.

At just ten years old, he had lost his mother early and had deep feelings for his wet nurse, Wang Nan.

But today, he watched with his own eyes as the guards took Wang Nan and others away.

The psychological trauma caused to him was simply unimaginable.

Fortunately, Gu Xi took him straight away and continuously provided comfort, preventing a more severe situation.

"Father."

After seeing Liu Bao fall asleep, Gu Xi had just stepped out of the room when his eldest son, Gu Lin, eagerly approached and asked:

"Why did His Majesty change so drastically?"

"I truly cannot fathom today’s move, Father."

His traits were indeed quite ordinary, and he could not comprehend why there was such a significant change.

Previously, the Emperor had trusted the Gu Clan greatly, hadn’t he?

"How can imperial power be shared with others?" Gu Xi replied calmly, with a gentle tone.

"Alas." Gu Lin sighed softly, "Thinking back, if it weren’t for Father’s help to His Majesty..."

"Silence!"

Gu Xi suddenly reprimanded sharply, interrupting him, and said sternly, "Do not say such words in the future!"

Gu Lin hastily lowered his head.

Gu Xi just looked at him like that, shaking his head slightly, his eyes full of disappointment and worry.

Suddenly, he somewhat understood the actions of Gu Kang in his later years.

Letting go of state affairs, showing an intention to retire from public life...

But compared to the situation then, the current scenario is much more complex.

If he were to pass away...what would become of the Gu Clan?

All sorts of emotions surged in his heart.

Gu Xi couldn’t help but turn his head again to look at the room where Liu Bao was staying, his gaze growing even more determined...
