I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 371 - 35: The Fall of Han, Yang Guang Heads to Julu

Chapter 371: Chapter 35: The Fall of Han, Yang Guang Heads to Julu

But as time gradually passed, the influence of the main lineage diminished, and this situation also began to change over time.

This was inevitable.

As members of the Gu Clan, watching the dwindling influence of the Gu Clan was difficult for them all.

It was a torment for everyone.

However, this feeling began to change as Gu Yi took action again.

For the growing eighteenth generation of descendants, the current leaders of the Gu Clan felt their extraordinary nature.

In these recent years,

they placed almost all their hopes on the eighteenth generation.

Especially Gu Yu.

Even though he was not yet ten, he had already demonstrated his exceptional talents, with a stability in judgment on significant affairs that far surpassed others.

Even Gu Yi was somewhat surprised.

Of course, possessing such talents was naturally attributed to the Luoshu Harmonizing Device.

Through these years of observation, Gu Yi could roughly discern the limits of this Luoshu Harmonizing Device.

Its limit was to distribute ten points of attribute value.

Gu Yu’s attributes were already quite good.

With the Luoshu Harmonizing Device, he could directly be elevated to a level comparable to that of Gu Kang in the past.

Even Gu Xi could not compare with such attributes.

Moreover, the most crucial aspect—

he, like Gu Xi and others, exhibited astounding performance from a young age.

But his character was incredibly stable.

Faced with the rise of Yang Jian and others, he always provided very accurate judgments, and his performance even left Gu Yi quite astonished.

At this moment, within the Gu Mansion,

hearing that King Jin, Yang Guang, was coming to Julu, the current patriarch, Gu Can, couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh.

"Father, why do you sigh?"

Beside him, Gu Yu looked over immediately and asked crisply.

"The Great Sui now shows signs of unifying the world."

"And King Jin, Yang Guang, has an extraordinary momentum, far exceeding that of the Crown Prince, Yang Yong. At this time, coming to our Gu Clan, I fear our Gu Clan might get embroiled in the national power struggle."

Though Gu Yu was still young, Gu Can did not hide anything from him, speaking very seriously.

The Gu Clan was no longer what it once was.

If forced into the national power struggle,

any mistake could mean calamity for the Gu Clan, making it exceedingly difficult to rise again in the future.

Gu Can pinned high hopes on the next generation of the clan.

He placed the ambitions and aspirations of the Gu Clan’s young members entirely on them.

He did not want the Gu Clan to encounter issues at such a time.

Hearing this, Gu Yu couldn’t help but smile, unconcerned, and said, "Father need not worry."

"Hmm?" Gu Can furrowed his brows and looked at Gu Yu, "What thoughts does my son have?"

"Father."

Gu Yu slowly stood up, looking at Gu Can with a serious expression, "I believe that the so-called national power struggle is unrelated to our Gu Clan."

"All these years, our Gu Clan has always resided in Julu, never forbidding the regional lords from coming to pay respects."

"This alone already demonstrates our Gu Clan’s stance."

"Now, even if King Jin comes with significant intention, what of it?"

"If the Crown Prince truly has ability, would he not come?"

"Father need not overthink."

"It should be just like the former Liu clan lords coming to pay respects, with no need for any other changes."

Gu Can remained silent for a moment, then nodded, "My son speaks truly."

"It is I who overthought."

He looked at Gu Yu before him, sighing helplessly, "It is just that I lament the long dormancy of our Gu Clan. If not, with the talents of my son..."

Not waiting for him to finish,

Gu Yu earnestly paid respects to Gu Can, "Father need not be concerned."

"Instead, I believe that our Gu Clan’s long dormancy may not be a bad thing."

"Our Gu Clan was previously too closely tied to the Great Han."

"Now that the Han dynasty is coming to an end."

"Had our Gu Clan not been dormant till now, I imagine our fate would not differ much from the Liu clan."

"Even though it may seem our Gu Clan is increasingly declining..."

"But the hearts of the people of Kyushu still remain."

"This is our Gu Clan’s greatest reliance."

Saying this, a trace of admiration actually appeared in his eyes, "Recently, having read the legacy of our ancestors, I have grown even more in awe of our Gu Clan’s forebears."

"There is no everlasting dynasty in this world..."

"Our Gu Clan rose with the beginning of the Han, and after Emperor Zhao Wu, we were completely bound to the Han dynasty. This is the ordeal that the Gu Clan must endure."

"As the saying goes, one must first break before establishment can occur...."

"If indeed the land can be united under Emperor Kaihuang, I would like to meet this King Jin."

Gu Can looked intently at his offspring.

His expression was extremely complex.

Is this what a genius is?

He could not help but recall the records of the ancestors in the familial archives and then shook his head.

Previously, they pondered how much talent it took for someone to emerge.

After all, everyone has a time of youthful arrogance and pride.

Concerning the records of the forebearers,

some doubts had slowly arisen even among the Gu Clan’s young members.

After all, the Gu Clan had produced several generations of ordinary descendants who could not compare.

But now it seems...

Those records were absolutely not false.

This is the difference between genius and ordinary people.

Time passed swiftly.

Yang Guang arrived sooner than Gu Can expected, his journey full of sincerity.

Since leaving Daxing, he had been on a continuous fasting and purification ritual.

Before approaching Julu,

he even forsook riding a horse, choosing to walk as a demonstration of his sincerity.

He did not bring many soldiers either.

His sincere heart was displayed vividly.

And crucially, these actions gradually spread.

The people from various regions praised this King Jin’s sincere gesture to pay respects to the Gu Clan, lauding his benevolence.
