I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 127 - 48: Three Support the Dragon Court, Removing Liang Ji to Stabilize the Court

Chapter 127: Chapter 48: Three Support the Dragon Court, Removing Liang Ji to Stabilize the Court

No one would ever refuse such a thing.

—Then, Gu Xi fully displayed his sharpness.

He immediately ordered the detention of all the eunuchs and palace maids who had contact with Liu Suan that day, and then immediately restricted all eunuchs with power, including the eunuchs within the middle court of the palace.

As well as all the officials in the court and government!

This event shocked the entire court and the public!

No one expected that Gu Xi would take such direct measures.

As expected, this was followed by some people’s objections.

Voices like "Gu Xi has no concrete evidence and should not act this way" were raised.

In fact, it wasn’t that they had ulterior motives.

It was just that they were too pedantic, insisting that everything should follow conventional practices.

But Gu Xi knew well.

In such matters, swift and decisive action was necessary, and if this matter failed, his reputation in the court would certainly take a significant hit.

And such a matter, how could it not be treated with seriousness?

At this moment, Gu Xi’s allies came into play. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Be it Yuan Tang or Li Gu, both held significant positions in the court.

They would naturally organize manpower to deal with these people.

Furthermore, Gu Xi’s interrogation relied entirely on his judgment of human nature.

All the eunuchs and palace maids were detained separately.

They were not allowed to meet.

Nor were the Eunuchs within the middle court allowed to come into contact with each other.

The hidden fear in people’s hearts was fully stirred up.

And Gu Xi did not just resort to intimidation.

There was also the enticement of benefits.

It must be said, Liu Zhi was indeed clever.

He clearly understood the key to this situation.

If Liu Suan could die in the palace, why couldn’t he?

Compared to Liu Suan.

He was even younger and had less foundation, so he naturally supported this matter greatly.

In this context.

At last, someone could no longer bear the pressure and exposed a small eunuch in the palace.

And after learning about this, that small eunuch also confessed.

He explained his reasoning.

Claiming he felt Liu Suan disliked eunuchs, and if Liu Suan were to ascend the throne, their lives would probably become miserable and so on.

This reason indeed seemed reasonable.

Everyone thought that matters would end at this point.

But Gu Xi did not stop there.

For him, just a mere small eunuch, no matter how indignant he might be in his heart, how could he be so bold without support?

Moreover, even if he killed Liu Suan, what if another ruler who disliked eunuchs came in the future?

Liang Ji did not expect things to develop this way either.

In fact, he had done quite well.

He arranged for all those who participated in poisoning Liu Suan to be executed, and brought the small eunuch in the palace to take the blame voluntarily.

And he showed no hostility toward Gu Xi.

He understood that if he forcibly contended, he couldn’t compete with Gu Xi.

He could only continually feign weakness.

Hoping to deal with the situation for the moment, and once Gu Xi was gone, he could immediately use his connection through the Empress Dowager to seize power!

It could be said that he made all proper preparations.

But he truly did not expect Gu Xi to be this persistent.

Liang Ji was genuinely anxious.

He very much wanted to send someone to kill Meng Ben, but Gu Xi’s strict supervision made it impossible for him to find an opportunity.

One should know that the current Liang Ji wasn’t the sole-power-wielding Grand General from the original history!

And the result of this matter came as naturally as expected.

Gu Xi brought all of that small eunuch’s family into the capital, forced the small eunuch to reveal Meng Ben.

And Meng Ben couldn’t withstand such pressure and directly exposed Liang Ji behind the scenes.

This revelation shook the entire court and public!

Liang Ji was the elder brother of Liang Na.

Upon learning of this outcome, it was hard for them not to have other thoughts.

Thinking further that Liang Na directly appointed Liu Zhi as the emperor.

It seemed all thoughts were clarified at this moment.

Immediately, the turmoil within the court and society became even more intense.

However, Gu Xi managed to suppress this storm.

In the North Palace.

Liang Na looked at Gu Xi with disbelief, tears continuously falling from her eyes.

"Impossible!"

"How could it be my brother?"

"How could my brother do such a thing?"

She stared intently at Gu Xi, struggling to accept all of this.

"Meng Ben has already confessed, fearing that the former Crown Prince would dislike eunuchs after ascending the throne, he went to meet Liang Ji."

"And Liang Ji indeed harbored ambitions of monopolizing power."

"Feeling that the former Crown Prince was too old and hard to control, he sent people to poison the former Crown Prince."

Gu Xi explained the details calmly to Liang Na.

The more Liang Na listened, the paler her face became.

She suddenly recalled the words spoken by Liang Ji when he came to see her that day.

To enthrone Liu Zhi....

He was still young and without foundation, making it easier to control in the future....

Liang Na’s body suddenly staggered.

She understood!

All of this had been calculated long ago, even she, the Empress Dowager, was part of the scheme!

An inexplicable sense of loneliness arose in Liang Na’s heart.

She stared blankly at Gu Xi, remained silent for a long while before finally asking softly, "What does the Grand Tutor wish for me?"

"Empress Dowager..."

Gu Xi solemnly bowed towards Liang Na and spoke slowly, "I believe this matter has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager."

"However.... Liang Ji’s action constitutes regicide."

"Such an offense cannot be forgiven."

"To avoid the people’s endless gossip, I would like to ask the Empress Dowager not to pay attention to political affairs after this."

He intended to weaken the Empress Dowager’s power!

Gu Xi did not know how long he could live.

But such things must not happen again.

Moreover, this move could also reassure the ministers, as many people in the court had participated in investigating this matter.

Who wouldn’t fear Liang Na’s revenge in the future?

Although he had some understanding of Liang Na’s character, otherwise he wouldn’t have chosen to trust her.
