I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 358 - 31: Liu Clan Abandons Gu, Turmoil Truly Begins (Part 2)
But for the Great Han today.
This natural disaster is equally fatal.
The deterioration of the system has led to the Barbarians in various places gradually breaking away from the court’s control, and human ambition is constantly breeding in such a situation.
After more than two hundred years, chaos is finally about to tread this land once more.
However—
This time the era of chaos is fundamentally different from the previous one.
Gu Yi carefully digested these memories, and his expression showed no signs of fluctuation.
How could there ever be an eternal dynasty?
The decline of the Great Han is inevitable.
And the wheel of history is bound to keep moving forward amidst this recurring chaos.
He exhaled gently; his gaze gradually fell, and as his mind moved, Gu Yi’s eyes immediately penetrated the layers of clouds, landing on Julu.
.....
Now the Gu Clan has been passed down to the thirteenth generation.
Gu Yi looked at the attributes of these people.
They are still quite ordinary.
Even the most excellent person’s top attribute is only seventy points.
In fact, Gu Yi had a feeling that there is definitely a constant correction happening here.
As the Gu Clan does more and more.
Now everything is no longer like it was at the beginning.
The original course of history is constantly suppressing the Gu Clan, trying to make history return to its original path. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
If Gu Yi does not intervene.
History will definitely proceed along its predetermined path, and the Gu Clan will continue to decline over time, until reaching that final situation.
Although not considered bad, it is evidently not enough for Gu Yi.
But even having seen all this, Gu Yi was not in a hurry to intervene directly.
He still has plenty of achievement points left, whether to personally control or make choices, he needs to see the personalities of this generation of Gu Clan disciples.
In Julu Commandery, nothing has changed.
As the current holy land of Kyushu, although the people’s hearts are turbulent, it’s still not to the extent of affecting Julu.
However, Gu Yi still perceived the differences through the details.
The smiles of the people of Julu have diminished.
This is naturally related to the overall policy of the Great Han; the Gu Clan can maintain the stability of Julu, but cannot improve everyone’s life.
To let the people of Julu undergo such changes.
It is very clear—
The current Great Han is already coming to an end.
Due to the mediocrity of the family’s descendants, since Gu Jin who was entrusted by Liu City, the Gu Clan has completely faded out of the core of the imperial court, with only a few descendants serving in various provincial and commandery positions.
But as the situation of the Great Han becomes increasingly unfavorable, the Gu Clan has ultimately been affected.
Whether it is the expectations of the people of the world;
Or the increasingly few ministers who care about the country in the court, all hope that the Gu Clan will stand up at this time.
But the current Patriarch of the Gu Clan, Gu Xuan, remained very calm.
He did not send the family’s descendants.
The reason is also very simple, not only because the family’s descendants lack talent.
But also because the current Emperor Liu Chang is a man of extreme autocracy, and his desire for control over power is very strong.
Even though the Gu Clan has faded from the court for so many years.
His attitude towards the Gu Clan is still very vigilant.
Gu Xuan saw this point, so he has never left Julu from beginning to end, and merely submitted memorials in the face of the world’s expectations, but how could such actions have any effect?
Liu Chang remains autocratic, paying no heed to the people’s sentiments.
This time, upon hearing of the chaos in Lingnan, he immediately conceived the idea of personally campaigning against Lingnan.
Lingnan has always been a coveted treasure.
Since the trade route established by Gu Ye was completely opened.
The wealth that Lingnan could bring has tempted everyone, although subsequently with the decline of the Great Han, Lingnan has gradually lost its constraints, this trade route has never been interrupted.
Whether for the people of Lingnan or the Great Han;
This trade route is crucial.
But precisely because of this, as local forces grow stronger, these enormous profits have still aroused disputes.
Coupled with the continuously rising taxes.
Suddenly, it sparked the Yue People, who have not yet fully integrated into the Great Han, to once again harbor thoughts of rebellion.
Liu Chang therefore conceived the idea of a southern campaign.
But the issue lies in that he currently has no heir, and the national conditions of the Great Han do not support such an exhausting expedition.
The ministers were vehemently discussing this matter.
But Liu Chang still autocratically decided on this and recruited soldiers nationwide.
This incident, like a fuse, has once again shaken the Great Han, which was already on the brink of collapse.
Within the Gu Mansion.
A group of Gu Clan disciples were also discussing this matter.
They are all too aware of the current predicament of the Great Han; if this battle truly ensues, perhaps a victory may still be manageable, but a defeat will undoubtedly accelerate the downfall of the Great Han.
This time is different from the past.
For both public and private reasons, the Gu Clan must do something to respond to the expectations of the people of the world for the Gu Clan.
This is something the Gu Clan must bear, fundamentally unavoidable.
"Elder brother, our ancestor repeatedly stated, there is no eternal dynasty, our Gu Clan should have its heart on Kyushu."
"Today’s world is in turmoil."
"If His Majesty insists on campaigning, it will definitely cause chaos, even a great victory would be of no help to the Great Han, but a great defeat would guarantee disorder in the world."
"Our Gu Clan has not touched Luoyang’s court for over a hundred years...."
"Elder brother, why not submit a memorial as usual, is there a need to personally go to Luoyang?"
