I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 359 - 31: The Liu Clan Abandons the Gu Clan, Chaos Descends Upon the Land
Looking at Gu Xuan in the main seat, the faces of the Gu Clan disciples were filled with confusion.
In recent years, the Gu Clan had not appeared in the court’s core.
The ties between the Gu Clan disciples and the Liu royal family became increasingly shallow, largely because the Emperor was growing indifferent to the Gu Clan.
Today, the concept of serving the family and the Kyushu has already deeply permeated the heart of every Gu Clan disciple.
No longer prioritizing a single dynasty.
Upon hearing this, the disciples all nodded in agreement, realizing these things despite their rather ordinary talents.
"How could I forget the sacred words of our ancestors?"
Gu Xuan sighed deeply and shook his head, "But precisely because of this, our Gu Clan must make one last attempt."
"The people of the world have long awaited our Gu Clan’s return to the court."
"If we let this happen without any action, it would tarnish the wisdom of our forebears."
"No matter what, I must go there once."
"Whether succeed or fail... it is no longer related to our Gu Clan. Even if the Great Han ultimately collapses, our Gu Clan has been honorable to the Liu Clan and has given one last fight for the people of the world."
Gu Xuan’s expression became increasingly serious.
Upon hearing this, the Gu Clan disciples also understood his intentions, their expressions became complicated.
Indeed, the reputation had provided the Gu Clan with substantial protection.
But it also shackled the Gu Clan.
In the world, everything has its cause and effect. The Gu Clan had enjoyed the benefits brought by its reputation, so it must bear the cost of acquiring such renown.
"After I leave, there must be no chaos within the clan...."
"Lately, I’ve sent messages to notify family members all around. Regardless, the clan must be well-prepared to handle any potential turmoil."
"Although we do not possess the talents of our ancestors... we must still protect the entire family."
"Before my departure...."
"I will lead the people in an ancestral worship, praying for our ancestors’ protection; prepare yourselves."
Gu Xuan carefully instructed everything before waving his hand to dismiss the crowd.
The crowd left with complicated expressions.
Watching their backs, Gu Xuan sighed helplessly, a hint of desolation flashing in his eyes.
Living in such a chaotic time.
For someone with talent, it’s certainly a blessing, as the turbulent era offers numerous opportunities to establish achievements.
But for those of average talent, it’s indeed a painful matter.
As the current patriarch of the Gu Clan, Gu Xuan must always remain vigilant to prevent any issues within the Gu Clan.
Gu Yi was observing all of this, and his heart also had a slight ripple.
Perhaps it really was due to the gradual decline of the Gu Clan.
Even though the talents of the clan’s current generation were quite ordinary, everyone’s personality seemed commendable, without rashness.
Even if they knew their talents were lacking.
Yet they still gave their all to handle all possible events.
For the long-term development of the clan, this is undoubtedly beneficial.
In fact, he could comprehend Gu Xuan’s decision.
This is indeed what the Gu Clan must face.
As for the gradual distancing of the Great Han’s imperial line from the Gu Clan, he didn’t find it strange either.
Not everyone acts reasonably; history itself contains numerous examples of emperors.
The power they were born with influences many things.
Without experiencing chaos; unaware of the people’s sufferings.
With the diminishing influence of the Gu Clan, this is far too normal.
Gu Yi did not choose to act directly.
Though he could sense that the current Great Han possessed the aura of a feudal dynasty in its twilight years.
True change, however, might yet require some more time.
Although by then, the thirteenth generation of the Gu Clan might be in their prime.
Yet to truly affect history, it’s likely necessary to wait until the fourteenth generation.
At least for now, he need not be anxious.
Moreover, for him, moving history forward is not a bad thing. Gu Yi could not forever prolong the life of the Great Han.
Such an act would impose unimaginable pressure on the Gu Clan, as could be discerned even by the attributes of these few generations of disciples.
Currently, the Gu Clan is not short of people, and yet the attributes of so many descendants are quite ordinary.
One can see how much pressure the Gu Clan has been under.
Furthermore, for Kyushu, prolonging the Great Han is not beneficial.
If so, the resilience and determination of the Huaxia nation might be completely erased.
The words "Princes and chancellors, are they born of noble blood?" might gradually become mere legend.
For the Gu Clan, now is not the best time for him to act.
Time flies by quickly.
With Gu Xuan announcing during the sacrificial rituals his decision to go to Luoyang to offer advice, nearly all of Julu was instantly ignited.
——A hundred odd years have passed.
The current patriarch of the Gu Clan is finally to visit Luoyang to meet the Emperor once again.
How could such an event not excite the people?
Though so much time had passed, due to the influence of generations, the idea that "the emergence of a Gu Clan disciple would usher in a prosperous age" was deeply ingrained in people’s minds.
The people of the world have long awaited the Gu Clan, awaiting this moment.
Upon hearing the news, they couldn’t help but shed tears.
Facing the surging crowds.
The expression of Gu Xuan remained calm, only gazing at the statues of the Gu Clan ancestors, solemnly paying respects and silently praying for their protection in his heart.
The news continued to spread.
Compared to the still relatively calm Julu, the reaction of people in various regions to this matter would only be greater.
