I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 107 - 40: Yan Ji’s Disorderly Decrees, Peril for the Nation

Chapter 107: Chapter 40: Yan Ji’s Disorderly Decrees, Peril for the Nation

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

Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but become more flustered.

Yet Gu Xi remained silent and promptly sent everyone out before going to see Liu Bao.

"Grand Tutor... is it true that Father... has passed away?" The eleven-year-old Liu Bao, his face full of grief.

Gu Xi looked at him with a solemn expression and nodded slowly, "Crown Prince, there is no need for excessive sorrow."

"Tonight, Your Highness must remember to rest well."

"Perhaps tomorrow will be the day Your Highness ascends the throne.

The throne?

These two words, both familiar and unfamiliar, suddenly surged in Liu Bao’s heart.

He stared blankly at Gu Xi and asked, puzzled, "Isn’t Father going to depose me?"

"It was just a falsified decree."

Gu Xi smiled faintly, looking firmly at Liu Bao, "With me here, Great Han will not fall into chaos."

Liu Bao gazed blankly at Gu Xi, and out of absolute trust in him, he nodded.

Then he reached out his small hand and grabbed Gu Xi’s arm, murmuring, "Rest assured, Grand Tutor."

"If I truly become Emperor."

"I will surely not let down the painstaking efforts of the Grand Tutor like Father did."

He was indeed very clever.

Especially under Gu Xi’s education.

He could see the changes in the court and the world more clearly.

He understood very well what had brought about all this.

Gu Xi smiled, nodding as well, "Good!"

Gu Yi had been silently watching all this, feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart.

Even he hadn’t anticipated things would develop to this point.

Gu Xi’s action of eliminating Wang Sheng back then indeed had a huge impact.

It not only saved Great Han from the decadence of Wang Sheng’s rule but also prevented Liu Gu, the Emperor, from having the opportunity to harm the court.

This was undoubtedly a good thing for Great Han.

But fortune and misfortune often come together.

The weaknesses in Liu Hu’s character were exploited, which ultimately led to this situation.

The existence of the Gu Clan altered the grand scheme. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

But the weaknesses in one’s character cannot completely change.

In fact, Liu Hu had already changed a bit.

It’s just that the flattery over these years made him blindly confident, causing the weaknesses in his character to be exposed again.

He could roughly guess what Gu Xi intended to do.

In fact, the Gu Clan’s most powerful weapon today is reputation.

This is not just the reputation of the court, but also of the military!

This is a prestige that has been built over several generations of great deeds for the world, unmatched by any other family.

Yan Ji had done very well.

Winning over the ministers... controlling the Forbidden Army... creating a grand situation.

She did even better than she did in the original history.

If the Gu Clan did not exist, she would definitely become the master of Great Han.

But now it’s different....

Gu Xi’s influence is even greater than Gu Kang’s.

Even Gu Kang was able to awe the officials single-handedly back then.

Not to mention Gu Xi?

Although, if one were to speak of the greatest benefit, it would be best for Gu Xi to maintain a low profile now.

But to these people.

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

Even Gu Yi was unable to interfere.

After thinking for a moment, he didn’t allow Gu Xi to take the risk.

Instead, he took out perhaps the only item that might have some effect from his backpack—the Good Luck Card.

He chose to use it directly.

Even though Gu Yi was not sure if it would be effective, he had to try.

After all, it is a Profound Level item.

Judging by the example of the Longevity Card, the effect of a Profound Level item is not bad.

And unlike the Longevity Card.

The Good Luck Card has a time limit.

The effect can only last for one day.

Logically, the effect should be better.

As for specifically drawing lots, Gu Yi restrained himself.

This upheaval indeed poses some crisis to the Gu Clan.

But it is not enough for Gu Yi to use achievement points again.

The prestige of the Gu Clan over generations is too great.

And Gu Xi has already sent the Gu clan descendants back to Hebei.

Even if Gu Xi’s efforts fail, the worst that could happen to the Gu Clan is disgrace, not massacre.

And the Three Kingdoms era is about to be faced next.

If there is indeed a mistake, he still has the chance to personally intervene and rewrite fate...
