I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 124 - 47: Returning to the Capital, Only Death Awaits

Chapter 124: Chapter 47: Returning to the Capital, Only Death Awaits

Liang Ji’s actions were extremely decisive and swift.

He smartly grasped the urgent matters at the Great Han court.

With the support of Liang Na, he really finalized the appointment of the new emperor.

Moreover, the most crucial aspect is that their actions were fundamentally different from those of Yan Ji in the past.

—Because Gu Xi was no longer in the court, and Gu Xi was no longer the regent!

This actually makes a fundamental difference.

Moreover, the critical thing is, no one could ascertain if Gu Xi would come or if he could safely arrive in Luoyang.

A dynasty cannot halt its progress because of one person.

This is how it is now.

The Emperor’s demise inevitably could not be concealed.

If the throne remained vacant for long, it was bound to stir unrest among the people.

The Great Han needs an emperor to stabilize the people’s hearts, and needs Empress Liang Na to preside over the situation.

Though some ministers proposed waiting for the Grand Tutor to come and then decide on this matter.

But this was destined not to garner full support from all the ministers.

Not to mention Liang Ji and his supporters.

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

For public interest, for reason, and for the world.

At this moment, everything cannot rest on one person, Gu Xi.

Moreover, the crucial aspect is that this accident has overshadowed the inexplicable demise of Liu Suan within the palace that day.

It seems everyone knows that something is amiss with this matter.

Yet, due to the crisis facing the Great Han, everyone fears triggering another turmoil.

Gu Yi has always been observing all this, still quite shocked at this moment.

He never imagined that matters would develop in this way.

In the original history.

After Liu Bao’s demise, the Great Han went through Emperor Chong of Han Liu Bing and Emperor Zhi of Han Liu Zuan before finally reaching Liu Zhi.

But the current changes are unprecedented.

The extension of Liu Bao’s lifespan caused Liu Bing to die before becoming emperor.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Bao chose the older Liu Suan to prevent another early demise of the new emperor.

The development of all this was extremely reasonable.

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

Many ministers supported him.

But the reason for ultimately losing the throne was his underestimation of the eunuchs, leading Cao Teng and others to start supporting Liang Ji.

Finally, Liang Ji poisoned Emperor Liu Zuan and established Liu Zhi.

The development within was completely different, yet the final result was the same.

Gu Yi silently analyzed all this.

Through so much observation, he had gained a certain level of understanding about this so-called historical revision.

Simply put, it depends on the influence of the Gu Clan.

As long as the influence of the Gu Clan is too great.

The revision will come.

Just like Liu Zhuang back then, the appearance of Gu Kang and Gu Cheng brought unprecedented development to the Great Han.

Liu Zhuang’s early demise cut short the great opportunity for continuous development.

And following the deaths of Gu Kang and Gu Cheng, Gu Liang couldn’t exert much influence due to his insufficient capabilities.

History was not revised.

Liu Da’s lifetime remained unchanged, and the subsequent development still saw the Dou Clan in power.

But with the gradual rise of Gu Xi.

Revision came again.

Although this is just Gu Yi’s guess, it seems the facts are indeed so.

In response, Gu Yi couldn’t help but feel even more heavy-hearted.

This is completely challenging fate.

The Gu Clan must ensure sufficient influence and also face continuous historical revisions.

The difficulty is comprehensible!

Gu Yi even started worrying about Gu Xi.

With Gu Xi’s character, would he return to Luoyang?

He definitely would!

He was someone who could stake his life for the Great Han and his family.

But looking at history.

The Eastern Han is about to face unimaginable disasters.

He wished he could directly control them himself now.

But unfortunately, Gu Yi’s achievement points were far from enough now.

Previously, to treat Gu Xi, he spent tens of thousands of achievement points on a lottery draw.

Though over the years, through the deaths of Gu Clan officials’ descendants and Gu Kang achieving special accomplishments, Gu Yi gained some achievement points.

But these achievement points are really just a drop in the ocean.

He could confirm that Gu Xi’s death would definitely bring him a significant amount of achievement points.

But this again doesn’t change reality.

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

...

Julu.

Within the Gu Mansion, the atmosphere was particularly heavy.

The person sent by the court to deliver the news had reached Julu, informing Gu Xi of the earthshattering changes inside the court.

This news was like a bolt from the blue.

Gu Xi stared blankly at the person delivering the message, his expression unusually dazed.

"The Emperor... has passed away?"

He fixed his gaze tightly on that person, murmuring a question.

Upon confirming the answer.

Instantly, Gu Xi directly knelt on the ground, his eyes reddening.

He stared upward mindlessly, shaking his head repeatedly.

"How could this happen?"

"How could the Emperor, so young, have passed away?"

"Didn’t the Emperor send a letter some days ago?"

He was utterly confused.

Back then, he thought he was not long for this world, but he managed to live until now.

Though he could clearly feel his energy was much worse than before, he never succumbed to a severe illness.

And in contrast, Liu Bao, so young yet already deceased, how could Gu Xi not feel heartbroken?

Liu Bao and he were not just master and minister.

It could be said that their relationship had long surpassed that of master and minister.

And the most crucial thing is, the Great Han lost yet another wise emperor!

On this day, the entire Gu Mansion was draped in mourning cloth.

Although Gu Xi was extremely grieved, it didn’t surprise Gu Yi; he made a decision without much thought.
