I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 351 - 29: The Terminus—Gu Ye’s Demise
But they underestimated Gu Ye after all. Gu Ye was never an incompetent person from beginning to end.
Although his abilities were indeed lacking compared to Gu Kang, Gu Xi, and others.
But as the most outstanding descendant of the contemporary Gu Clan, and having been deeply influenced by Gu Chen, his skills and methods could not be ordinary.
Faced with these people’s offensive.
Gu Ye simply would not show even a bit of mercy.
Having thoroughly understood Liu Jun’s character, he would not leave any hidden dangers for the Great Han.
Ambition is never-ending!
Even if these people did not intend to directly target Gu Ye, the moment their ambition arose, their fate was already sealed.
Fortunately, these people still had some ability and had not acted too excessively.
Because of this, Gu Ye spared their lives, only expelling them from Luoyang.
——A great shock in the court and the country!
Gu Ye’s handling this time completely intimidated everyone.
These were the Emperor’s ministers who followed him to power, yet Gu Ye didn’t hesitate at all, not even a trace of fear.
How could this not make people feel dread?
From then on, Gu Ye immediately began the reallocation of court personnel.
He quickly formed a team centered around Liu Jun through evaluating the character and talent of court officials.
His methods were extremely decisive.
Perhaps because he understood that he would not last long either, hence he acted in such a way.
Under these various means, everyone clearly realized one thing.
Gu Ye was not ignorant of court strategies.
In the past, he simply did not need to involve himself in court politics.
Gu Yi did not overly interfere with this. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
He indeed still needed to learn about the details of politics.
Gu Yi now increasingly enjoyed observing and thinking; he could clearly feel his own progress.
This progress was unrelated to outdated systems.
But rather a matter of thinking—
For example, in terms of military affairs, Gu Yi can now identify key positions based on the terrain.
This kind of mental progress is extremely rare.
The same goes for politics.
Although the current Han Dynasty’s system is vastly outdated compared to modern times, Gu Yi inherently possesses a modern perspective, and as his thinking progresses, he can apply it in modern contexts.
The most crucial teaching of the Gu Clan has always been through word and deed.
And Gu Yi is also one of the students among them.
He would follow each generation of capable individuals, learning from their abilities and thinking.
Gu Ye had a very clear understanding of Liu Jun’s character.
Though he had now completely taken control.
Nevertheless, he had not overstepped boundaries.
He used another method to gradually build Liu Jun’s confidence.
Faced with various state affairs, he would ask for Liu Jun’s opinions.
At the beginning, Liu Jun would always say, "Grand Tutor decides," but as he gradually adapted, he also began to try answering.
In Gu Yi’s eyes, this was not necessarily a good thing.
A person without a sense of security suddenly becoming confident might result in doing something reckless.
But after pondering, he chose not to interfere.
No significant turmoil had occurred in the Northern Border or Lingnan.
This fact alone demonstrated that the systems Gu Yi had implemented were gradually taking root in people’s hearts.
As for the future of the Great Han.....
Gu Yi could not intervene.
If a dynasty could truly be made prosperous for all eternity, he would have already elevated the Gu Clan to that position.
Now, the Gu Clan finds itself in a transition with scarce talent, and the future of the Great Han can only be entrusted to the people of this era.
As for the only direct intervention by Gu Yi, it was also through Gu Ye that many things were left behind.
Primarily in consideration of the family.
Apart from specifically improving the ancestral teachings.
Gu Yi ensured the moral boundaries of the Gu Clan’s children were more adaptable and strengthened their mission towards Kyushu.
He absolutely could not allow the Gu Clan to be bound to a single dynasty.
This was something Gu Yi had to do!
Time flew by.
In truth, Gu Ye didn’t need to overly involve himself in current Great Han court affairs; he only needed to control critical aspects.
Of course, Gu Ye was also keeping a close eye on Lingnan.
As the days since he left Lingnan grew longer, Lingnan inevitably experienced some chaos.
Unlike the chaos Gu Yi originally imagined.
This time, the disorder was not due to the Baiyue who had not completely assimilated into the Great Han.
——But rather the Han people who migrated there.
There would always be people driven mad by profit.
As trade routes developed over these years, some things in Lingnan were inflated to extremely high prices, and the core of the issue lay there.
Upon hearing about this, Gu Ye immediately responded.
He imposed stricter control over the Lingnan region.
What Gu Yi hadn’t expected was that perhaps because an obsession had once again arisen in his heart, Gu Ye’s health, though still poor, persisted just like that.
He devoted all his time to governance and teaching his descendants.
Based on Liu Chen’s previous evaluation of the court ministers’ characters and talents, he managed everything systematically.
And under these circumstances——
The shadow looming over the entire Great Han, caused by the death of Liu Chen, finally began to dissipate.
Although Liu Jun had not shown any remarkable abilities.
But for the people of the world, the Gu Clan’s regency was something they found very reassuring.
However...time is merciless.
No matter how deep Gu Ye’s obsession ran, how could he possibly persist indefinitely?
In Chang Xu’s second year, April;
Wen Yang passed away due to illness.
This general who lamented being born too late eventually succumbed to the erosion of time and died in Luoyang.
