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

Chapter 50: Breaking the Wall Card, Chaos is Coming
——The fifth year of Yan Xi.

As Liu Zhi grew older, Gu Xi gradually gave up his involvement in state affairs.

Emperor Liu Zhi began to handle all state affairs personally.

Just like Liu Bao in the past.

When Liu Zhi grows stronger, he will release all the shackles.

The ministers were naturally not surprised by this, but they still admired Gu Xi immensely.

The word "retreat".

This has always been difficult for some people in high positions.

But what about Gu Xi?

He had been regent since the reign of Emperor Xiaohe and had many opportunities to monopolize power.

Even if it is just like Wang Mang in the past.

It’s not impossible!

Because everyone in the world is grateful for Gu Xi's kindness.

But it is this kind of people who, faced with opportunities that come to them again and again, will take the initiative to turn away.

How can it not make others admire it?
Liu Zhi was also very depressed about this.

But I also know that Gu Xi is old after all.

Gu Xi is now nearly seventy years old. In today's era, it is very difficult to live to this age.

Not to mention that Gu Xi has also been taking care of state affairs, and the effort he has put in is unimaginable.

Liu Zhi gave Gu Xi many rewards.

In order to prevent Gu Xi from getting into any accidents, he would not let Gu Xi leave the capital no matter what, but only let him live in the Marquis Guanjun's Mansion.

All the ministers agreed to this.

In fact, Gu Xi did not expect that he could still live to this day.

Some of the fifth generation descendants of the Gu family have passed away.

In the court, during these five years, Cao Teng, Li Gu and others also passed away one after another.

These people are even much younger than him.

But he was the only one who survived and he did not suffer any symptoms.

In fact, this matter has already attracted the attention of many people.

Things were fine in the court.

However, the rumors among the people were widely spread.

When Gu Xi was providing disaster relief in the past, some people called him an immortal who came to save the world.

This rumor has now become common knowledge.

And after being passed down from generation to generation, people all over the world believe it without a doubt.

After all, this was passed down from their fathers and even grandfathers' generation.

And Gu Xi's lifespan really exceeded everyone's imagination.

This undoubtedly greatly increased the authenticity of the rumor, causing a sensation throughout the world.

Gu Xi didn't care so much.

After leaving the court, he once again began to educate future generations.

That’s right, Gu Xi has summoned the sixth generation of the Gu family to Luoyang and started educating them personally.

That's the kind of person he is.

Since entering the court at the age of eleven, he has dedicated his life entirely to the Han Dynasty and his family.

How is it possible to let him have some free time?

Of course, Gu Xi had his own reasons for doing this.

He had already noticed that the sixth generation of the Gu family was more talented than the fifth generation.

Especially Gu Wei.

He has great expectations for Gu Wei.

I think he can shoulder the future of the Gu family.

He wanted to use his reputation to plan for the future of his descendants.

In fact, he felt really good.

Compared with the fifth generation of Gu family members, the talents of this sixth generation are indeed higher overall.

Except Gu Wei.

There are also two children of the Gu family whose attributes exceed 70.

One of them is named Gu Tao. His other attributes are fine, but his martial arts attribute is as high as 73, just like Gu Xiao back then.

The other one is named Gu Ze, whose internal affairs attribute is as high as 75.
If he receives proper education, he may become a governor of a state in the future.

However, what caught Gu Yi's attention the most was a child named "Gu Chen".

He is the youngest son of Gu Xi's eldest son.

It was just born now.

Gu Yi paid attention to him not because of how high his attributes were, but quite the opposite.

This child's attribute values are extremely low.

Almost every attribute is around 10 or 20.

Simply put, this is an imbecile.

This situation is quite common in this day and age.

The reason why Gu Yi paid attention to him was naturally very simple. He used the wall-breaking card on this child.

The attributes of the wall-breaking card are a bit too risky.

The requirements are extremely demanding.

First of all, it must be a newborn, and the factors that affect its attributes are extremely wide, making it impossible to cultivate it deliberately.

If Gu Yi were to use it on someone with good attributes.

He was absolutely reluctant to do so.

Any mistake may cause its properties to decline.

As for the attributes ordinary.

It is even more unnecessary.

This is a Xuan-level item of the same level as the Longevity Card. Its effect has already been said to be able to completely break the upper and lower limits.

There is no difference between an ordinary person and this kind of moron.

For Gu Yi, the family's talents are the most important thing.

Even if a person has ordinary attributes, it is possible to bring himself achievement points.

But Gu Chen is different.
This attribute point of his is destined to make him a burden to the family.

Used this tool on him.

Not only could it solve the problem of his attributes, it would also allow Gu Yi to observe the basis for judging this item.

If you can really observe it.

If I can draw this item again in the future, I might really have a chance to create a being with terrifying attributes.

This is really a rare opportunity for Gu Yi.

Liu Zhi himself is an extremely intelligent person.

Although Gu Xi has been a little rushed over the years, he has learned a lot over time.

Gu Xi's departure did not cause any changes in the government.

Liu Zhi has indeed grown stronger.

He is now full of ambition and hopes to continue the prosperous era of Liu Bao's period.

Gu Xi had just left the temple.

He quickly issued a series of policies.

First of all, it is natural to win the support of the people, and he also continued the supervision of officials during the Liu Bao period.

These are indeed good methods.

Nothing unexpected happened during the prosperous era of the Han Dynasty.

But as time passed, Liu Zhi realized that something was wrong.

Why do his ministers talk so much?

——The sixth year of Yan Xi.

North Palace.

As soon as Liu Zhi entered the palace gate, he angrily cursed: "You are bullying me too much!"

"How dare these people contradict me in the temple!"

"Who gave them the guts?"

"Do you still think I'm the little kid I used to be?"

“Who do they think they are?”

"Is it the Master?"

Liu Zhi was breathing heavily, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Today was a grand court meeting. He planned to decorate the palace.

But because of this incident, he aroused opposition from all the officials in the court, and even publicly lectured the emperor.

How could Liu Zhi not be angry?
He is the emperor!

Don’t you even have the power to repair the palace?

The more Liu Zhi thought about it, the angrier he became, and veins even appeared on his face.

This is absolutely not possible!

He is now the real emperor with real power.

Gu Xi's existence has allowed him to completely bypass the period when Liang Rui and Liang Ji would immediately take power.

Which emperor could bear such an insult?

That’s right, this is an insult to Liu Zhi!
The world is so peaceful.

What's wrong with him renovating the palace?
Does it mean that he must be as frugal as the ancestors of the Han Dynasty?
Liu Zhi angrily slammed the table in front of him and shouted, "Send the order immediately!"

"I want to renovate the palace."

"Anyone who submits a petition in opposition will be immediately dismissed from office!"

"I want everyone in the world to know that not everyone can be a Grand Tutor!"

He had to demonstrate his authority.

Let everyone know that he is no longer a child and not everyone can educate him!
The news spread throughout the temple in an instant.

Not surprisingly, Liu Zhi's request was met with opposition from all officials.

But this undoubtedly aroused Liu Zhi's anger even more!
All the officials no longer regard him as the emperor.

If this was what Gu Xi meant, perhaps there would not be such opposition.

Immediately, Liu Zhi issued an edict to dismiss thirteen officials.

Although these people are not high-ranking officials.

But it also shows his attitude.

He is the emperor!
But what Liu Zhi did not expect was that this move did not win the fear of the officials, but instead caused an even greater disturbance!

These thirteen officials were not only praised by scholars.

At the same time, students of the Imperial College also began to criticize the court and the emperor!
Suddenly, a powerful public opinion storm was pressing towards him, the emperor.

It seemed like everyone was forcing him to bow his head!

This time, Liu Zhi was completely furious!

The court officials and scholars made him completely angry. He promoted the eunuchs around him, ordered the arrest of nearly a hundred scholars, and dismissed nearly twenty ministers in the court!

For a moment, both the government and the country were shocked!

Gu Yi also noticed what was happening, and his heart sank suddenly.

Sure enough, his guess was correct!

There was bound to be huge conflict between the court officials and the emperor like Liu Zhi.

In fact, this is inevitable.

In the original history, power in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty was divided among relatives, eunuchs and literati.

The emperor often relied on eunuchs to deal with relatives and literati.

In fact, the essence of the Party and Factions Ban was that the emperor used eunuchs to suppress the scholar-official group and strengthen his autocratic rule.

Today, the existence of the Gu family has seriously weakened the power of the Han Dynasty's foreign relatives and eunuchs.

This is indeed beneficial.

With fewer eunuchs who disrupted government and harmed the people, the Han Dynasty became much stronger than it had been in its original history.

But this was bound to have its downside, which was the rapid expansion of the power of the literati.

The fight will never stop.

The original history was about the struggle between the literati and the eunuchs.

Now it has evolved into a direct struggle between the literati and imperial power.

Imperial power is destined to be autocratic.

People like Gu Xi have completely transcended the scope of a minister, and have made great contributions to the entire country. They are also labeled as never rebelling.

Only this kind of person can make the emperor willingly share power.

But how could anyone else?

This is bound to cause huge conflicts.

Gu Yi didn't know whether Gu Xi's presence would balance the conflict between the two sides.

But this conflict is obviously not so easy to resolve, and this is the inevitable result of the Han system.

Suddenly, Gu Yi suddenly remembered the undercurrent hidden beneath the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

The question that had been puzzling me for a long time seemed to have an answer at this moment.
Champion House.

Naturally, someone would come to find Gu Xi when something so big happened.

In fact, Gu Xi didn't care about it at first. Liu Zhi had just come to power, so it was normal for him to show off his imperial majesty.

Even Liu Bao did this in the past.

He used reforms to fully demonstrate his imperial majesty.

But he had never expected that the matter would develop to this point in such a short period of time.

Both the government and the public were shocked!

This huge change even exceeded the uproar caused when people heard that Liang Ji had murdered the prince!

Although Gu Xi is now seventy years old.

But the longevity card still allowed him to maintain absolute focus.

He quickly saw the connection between the two, and his expression quickly turned ugly.

Gu Xi's role came into play at this time.

He first summoned his ministers.

Oh, ask them why they are so bold!

When facing Gu Xi, the ministers really didn't have any temper at all.

Some scholars and officials carefully stated their reasons, saying that the emperor should not be so extravagant.

These words made Gu Xi furious.

Gu Xi didn't know how long it had been since he had been so angry.

Naturally, the ministers did not dare to say much, and then Gu Xi went to see Liu Zhi again.

North Palace.

If Liu Zhi's life can be divided into two stages, then he is obviously still in his wise period.

Liu Zhi's face was still full of anger.

But when he heard that Gu Xi was coming, his expression suddenly relaxed a little.

He even stood up and stopped Gu Xi from saluting.

"Your Majesty." Gu Xi sighed softly.

Liu Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sighed softly, "Grandmaster, you are here to advise me, right?"

Gu Xi nodded and said seriously, "Your Majesty, this matter should not be made a big deal."

"I just met with the ministers and advised them. They will admit their mistakes to Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Liu Zhi fell silent.

He seemed to be considering it.

After a long while, he nodded slowly and said calmly, "Forget it. Since the Grand Tutor has spoken, let's just leave it at that."

"But... just this once."

His expression was extremely serious, and his eyes became increasingly fierce.

Gu Xi immediately bowed earnestly to Liu Zhi and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

He did not mention Liu Zhi's promotion of eunuchs. The actions of court officials and scholars were destined to bring about a balance.

Liu Zhi promoted eunuchs.

Obviously he understands this.

Looking at all this, Gu Yi couldn't help but shook his head.

Can Gu Xi balance everything?

Obviously it is impossible.

The Han Dynasty valued Confucianism, and even Gu Kang's knowledge was derived from it. The Confucian ideal of "public world" formed a structural contradiction with imperial power.

Even if Gu Xi can suppress it for a while, he can never suppress it forever.

Liu Zhi has already begun promoting eunuchs to balance power.

The gears of fate have begun turning again.

If this incident triggers the undercurrent hidden beneath the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, then this seemingly prosperous Han Dynasty will surely collapse.

"If this is true, I'm afraid this turmoil will far exceed the previous historical period."

Gu Yi muttered to himself, and even he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Ps: I’m begging for monthly tickets! I’m begging my brothers to support me and help me get on the new book monthly ticket list.

The fish target is not too high, 4-6 will be enough, please help! !
