Control your ancestors and create an immortal family starting from the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 46 Liu Bao is critically ill, and a shocking change occurs

The entire Han Dynasty was thriving.

Liu Bao's actions during the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai greatly promoted the moral standards of the entire Han Dynasty.

Scholars from all over the world are proud to be a minister like Gu Xi.

This is exactly what people want.

In addition to the institutional reforms implemented previously, the administration of the Han Dynasty actually entered a period of clarity and prosperity.

From then on, Liu Bao became more diligent in his work.

He seemed to really want to create a prosperous era like the one during the reign of Emperor Xiaoming, and began to rule the country with greater dedication.

But all this has nothing to do with the Gu family.

Just like in the days of Gu Xiao, Gu sat on the wall and looked down at the changes in the world.

No one dares to touch it, and no one can reach it.

This is also a good thing for Gu Yi.

When the influence is sufficient, it is best for the family to be in absolute safety.

Of course, there is also good news.

That means Gu Xi has a grandson!
That’s right, as time goes by, the sixth generation of Gu family has been born one after another.

Gu Yi carefully observed their attributes, most of them were very ordinary, but one of them caught Gu Yi's attention.

——Gu Wei.

【内政：83；外交：70；政治：72；统帅：44；武力；50】

Perhaps it was because it had been too long since he had seen an attribute that Gu Yi found eye-catching.

Although Gu Wei's attributes are not particularly outstanding.

But it is far more than the fifth generation of descendants.

This made Gu Yi very satisfied.

As long as he can get the hang of it, he can make up for the gap in attributes.

Of course, better attributes naturally have their advantages, and can better implement Gu Yi's plans.

But as long as it's roughly the same, it's enough.

And this is just the beginning. There will definitely be more and more sixth-generation descendants of the Gu family.

Gu Xi is still very good at fighting.

Gu Yi didn't know how long he could hold on.

But as long as he is still alive, there is no need to worry, there will always be more options.

In fact, what Gu Yi was looking forward to more was the national policy that Gu Xi had been considering over the years.

These years of governing have indeed allowed Gu Xi to accumulate a lot of experience.

Even though he has long since left the government, Gu Xi is still able to make certain judgments about the situations in various parts of the world.

The results of Liu Bao’s reform.

He saw it all.

This made Gu Xi calm down and think about the problem.

What shocked Gu Yi was——

As time passed, in the fourth year of Yonghe, Gu Xi actually came up with a system that was more like the imperial examination system.

In fact, this is also related to Gu Yi.

The teaching method that Gu Yi left behind when he controlled Gu Xiao allowed the Gu family's disciples to have different learning methods according to their different talents.

This greatly attracted Gu Xi's attention.

People have different talents.

Those who are good at literature are not necessarily good at martial arts; those who are good at martial arts are not necessarily good at literature; and those who are good at literature can be divided into those who are good at governing the world and those who are good at power politics; and those who are good at martial arts can be divided into those who are good at commanding troops and charging into battle.

Gu Xi developed a more detailed test system.

And this test was incorporated into the recommendation process.

Simply put.

That is, after the local recommendation, a more detailed examination will be conducted within the state and county.

The subjects are different.

In addition to a few fixed subjects, other subjects can be added according to the needs of the court, allowing the recommended person to choose for himself.

And appoint supervisory officials.

Although this matter is really no big deal from the perspective of modern people.

But this was the feudal period!

The difficulties in breaking through the limitations of the times are unimaginable.

This theory developed by Gu Xi.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this is more like a further improvement of the current system of recommendation.

The assessment has been further refined.

Can select more talents for the court.

And supervisory officials have been added to make the entire system fairer.

In the original history.

As time went by, the recommendation system gradually became a plaything in the hands of the aristocratic families.

The conflicts of interest among the major clans, coupled with various other factors such as the personal preferences of local officials.

This eventually led to the phenomenon of "the scholar selected does not know how to read; the filial and honest person is selected but his father lives separately".

Gu Yi did not think that Gu Xi's theory could change this phenomenon.

This is a problem with the entire recommendation system itself.

Gu Xi's reform may delay the occurrence of this phenomenon, but it is obviously impossible to completely change it.

But for Gu Yi.

That's enough.

The formation of a system is definitely not an easy task.

The impact of this kind of thing is huge.

Since Gu Xi has accomplished this, it will definitely bring him a lot of achievement points!

Gu family.

A group of Gu family members were listening carefully to Gu Xi explaining the core of his reform.

Although Gu Xi has been immersed in studying the system, he has never neglected the education of his family's children.

In fact, it has become a tradition.

Nowadays, almost all the descendants of the Gu family have this idea.

That is the only way to be extraordinary.

Only then can one contribute to the eternal foundation of the entire family like Gu Xiao, Gu Kang, Gu Sheng and others did in the past.

This is a reflection of being influenced since childhood.

Gu Kang at that time influenced Gu Liang's generation.

Gu Liang influenced Gu Xi's generation.

Gu Xi naturally passed on this concept to the next generation.

Listening to what Gu Xi said, all the children of the Gu family fell into deep thought.

The talents of the fifth generation are indeed a bit too average.

Anyone with some talent is now serving as an official in the local area, and those who can stay in the clan are the ones with the least talent.

How could they possibly understand it so quickly?
Gu Xi waited for a while, and seeing that no one spoke, he couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

The talents of the family's children are indeed too poor.

He had already sent someone to report the reform to Liu Bao.

According to his understanding of Liu Bao.

Liu Bao can definitely see the benefits of this and will definitely implement it with all his strength.

He originally wanted to give some pointers to the younger members of his family so that they could take the lead.

But there is nothing we can do about it. The talents of the family members are too poor.

Now he can truly fully understand Gu Liang’s mentality back then.

Carrying the banner of a family like the Gu family is really not an easy task.

Only when we are sure that our descendants can take on the heavy burden can we feel at ease.

Gu Xi now feels confused about the future.

And how can he feel at ease now?

Gu Xi sighed softly, and then began to explain in detail the deep meaning of his actions.

Just when he said that this move could attract more talents for the court.

A crisp voice suddenly rang out.

"Grandfather."

"If you want to recruit talents, why not recruit from all over the world?"

"The number of people who can be recommended is destined to be small."

The person who spoke was Gu Wei.

He was only four years old at the time, but he had already shown some talent.

Like Gu Xi back then, he is a precocious genius.

Gu Xi looked at Gu Wei, and a relieved smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Wei'er is right." He first agreed, then shook his head and said, "But although there are many people in the world, many of them cannot read or write."

Gu Xi's voice stopped abruptly.

He seemed to suddenly realize something and his brows furrowed instantly.

But then, he shook his head slightly, as if denying some of the guesses he had just made.

He waved his hand gently, motioning Gu Wei to come to him.

Immediately, he picked up Gu Wei, faced the crowd again, and continued to explain his theory.

But his expression was a little different from just now.

Gu Yi watched this scene with great interest, and he did not expect that such a thing would happen.

Of course, he also understood that this was not because Gu Wei had extraordinary talent.

Just because he is still young.

I am not deeply affected by the limitations of the current era, so I can say such things.

As for how much of an impact this would have, he still had no idea. But looking at Gu Xi's expression, he was clearly somewhat touched.
For an emperor like Liu Bao who had performed the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai.

Reform is naturally not a difficult task.

However, this reform still caused a huge stir.

As for the reason, it is also very simple.

That's a huge change!
This time is different from Zuo Xiong’s original reform.

Not only were examinations added, but there were also supervisory officials.

It is much more complicated than before.

This is destined to not be achieved overnight.

We can only implement it slowly.

Let people all over the world adapt to the changes in the system little by little.

Of course, beyond this.

There are still too many government affairs within the temple.

What the ministers cared about most was the foundation of the country.

That’s right, Liu Bao is now in the same predicament as Liu Zhaoshi was back then.

That means the prince died young.

As Liu Bao grew older, this became a concern for his ministers, and some even sent letters to Gu Xi.

no way.

This was the problem that the Han Dynasty had back then.

Liu Zhao suddenly died.

From then on, the Han Dynasty began to suffer from natural disasters one after another.

Moreover, if the foundation of a country is unstable, many changes are bound to occur.

Humans are animals that develop ambitions depending on the environment.

Liu Bao also realized this problem.

——In the ninth year of Yonghe.

He finally decided on the position of crown prince and made Liu Bing, the son of Concubine Yu, the crown prince.

Gu Yi also noticed this matter immediately and began to pay attention to Liu Bao.

You know, in the original history.

Liu Bao died of illness shortly after being appointed as the crown prince.

The Han Dynasty has undergone too many changes today.

At least that’s what Gu Yi observed.

Liu Bao doesn't show any signs of illness at the moment.

This may be related to the pressure.

In the original history, the Gu family did not exist, and the pressure Liu Bao faced was far greater than it is now.

And now he.

He was enthroned at Mount Tai and wielded immense power, reaching the limit of an emperor.

This shift is bound to cause different changes.

Sure enough, it was just as Gu Xi expected.

As expected, there was nothing wrong with Liu Bao's health.

But just as the original history showed, Liu Bing had health problems.

The very next year, he died of illness in the palace at the age of three.

This incident dealt a heavy blow to Liu Bao.

After learning the news, he vomited blood in public and fainted.

The ruling and opposition parties were shocked!

Liu Bao's sudden fall.

It can be said that it has completely ignited the ambition in human nature!

Everyone's thoughts immediately started to move.

Of course, they naturally would not have any idea of doing anything bad to Liu Bao.

But it’s the country’s capital!

The foundation of the Han Dynasty has not yet been determined!

Liu Bao had no children and was vomiting blood!

In this era, vomiting blood and fainting is enough to be a death sentence.

Everyone understood that Liu Bao could not hold on for much longer.

Then the position of the crown prince
Night, Beigong.

Liu Bao slowly woke up, and as soon as he opened his eyes he saw Liang Nv standing by his side.

"Your Majesty, you are awake." Liang Rui was overjoyed and spoke quickly.

Liu Bao still seemed to be feeling unwell, his brows slightly furrowed, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

After a moment of silence, he slowly nodded and said in a deep voice, "I'm fine."

"Your Majesty, I will call the imperial physician immediately."

Liang Rui was still worried.

But Liu Bao directly grabbed her hand, looked at her seriously and asked, "Queen, what are the ministers doing today?"

Liu Bao was not a stupid person. With previous examples in mind, Liu Bao thought of the worst situation at the first moment.

Liang Rui was a very intelligent woman.

Over the years, Liu Bao often discussed political affairs with her, and she naturally understood what Liu Bao was concerned about.

But to say that the ministers would start taking action immediately would be an insult to their intelligence.

"Your Majesty, rest assured that the government and the country are stable."

Liang Ru shook her head slightly, looked at Liu Bao with concern, hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, why not recall the Grand Tutor to the court?"

"If the Grand Tutor were here."

"I am a big man, and there will be no accidents."

Hearing this, a trace of loneliness suddenly flashed in Liu Bao's eyes.

Didn't he know that recalling Gu Xi was the best solution at the moment?

But Gu Xi is now sixty-two years old.

In this era, such an age is already considered old and frail.

If you travel such a long distance, you may not even reach Luoyang and may die on the way.

How could he bear it?
Seeing Liu Bao remain silent, Liang Rui instantly understood his thoughts and her eyes reddened slightly.

The Queen has nothing to worry about. Liu Bao forced a smile, took her hand and said, "I really can't bear to let the Grand Tutor return to the capital."

"Taifu has devoted all his efforts to the Han Dynasty."

"Now that he has reached the age of destiny, I absolutely cannot trouble him any more."

His tone paused slightly, as if he had made some kind of decision, and his expression became more serious at this moment:

"I will definitely be able to hold on!"

"Before everything is settled."

"I will definitely hold on!"

When Liu Bao said this, his tone was extremely firm.

Liang Rui held his hand tightly and nodded seriously.

The next day, Liu Bao convened a grand court meeting.

Although he tried his best to act the same as before.

But anyone could see that his face was obviously pale.

Liu Bao didn't say any nonsense today.

Instead, he issued an edict directly.

Summon the sons of princes from all over the country to come to Beijing!
Everyone knew what this meant and had anticipated it.

There were also a few people like Liang Ru who submitted a memorial in the court saying, "Gu Xi should be recalled to the court to deal with this crisis."

Everyone understands Liu Bao's current situation.

In order to prevent any accidents, summoning Gu Xi back to Beijing is obviously the best way.

As long as Gu Xi comes back.

There will never be chaos in the Han Dynasty's temple.

But the situation in the government is different now. It’s not just one person who doesn’t want Gu Xi to return to Beijing.

After all, the interests involved are far greater than one can imagine.

The princes' sons coming to Beijing was a godsend opportunity for them all.

Who doesn’t want to be the second Gu Xi?

How could he let Gu Xi return to Beijing?

At that moment, someone in the court severely rebuked those people.

"The Grand Tutor is now over sixty years old."

"You've been running all this way. Do you want to put the Master in danger?"

"Our Han people have always respected the elderly. Grand Tutor has made such great contributions to our Han people over the years, and now he has only enjoyed a few years of wealth and honor?"

"You want to let the Grand Tutor return to the court again?"

These words are truly righteous.

It is naturally impossible for them to use any other means to target Gu Xi.

The reason for not allowing Gu Xi to return to Beijing is simple.

That is to take advantage of Liu Bao's feelings for Gu Xi and make him completely give up this idea.

After all, in this era, traveling all the way means risking your life.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Liu Bao's eyes became increasingly dim.

He seemed to want to say something.

But just as he opened his mouth, he staggered and almost fainted in the court again.

In just a few days.

The man who was originally on the rise is showing signs of losing control!
