slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Yang Zhen and the others had not expected this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This punishment was too severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others were one thing, but the main issue was Yan Ji, the current Empress Dowager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stripping her of her honorary titles and abolishing her status as Empress...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was simply branding Yan

completely; her emotions collapsed entirely as she stared fixedly at Gu Xi and shrieked, \"Gu Xi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can you treat me like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am the Empress

directly and had her taken away on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that were Liu Shou and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cries and wails echoed through the great hall; this was destined to be a bloody affair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From beginning to end, Liu Bao just watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was, after all, still young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a trace of fear, but he forced himself to hold firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until a long time had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall slowly quieted down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Zhen and the others also reacted at this time, and their expressions suddenly turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Determine the posthumous title for the late Emperor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, this matter naturally would not require much deliberation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Han dynasty was far from a time where posthumous titles were given recklessly; the officials would naturally discuss a fair title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, it was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Emperor Liu Hu, if one were to ask what merits he had, there were actually none.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the early days, Deng Sui and Gu Xi governed the world together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no power in his hands at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, when Deng Sui passed away, he did have power, but he handed it all over to Gu Xi to manage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This could actually be called employing virtuous ministers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the developments of these days contradicted this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Han dynasty had now survived years of natural disasters, and the national strength was gradually recovering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this had occurred during Liu Hu’s reign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, he should not be overlooked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to give Liu Hu a beautiful posthumous title?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind whether Gu Xi would agree, even the officials could not make such a choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Liu Hu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a low-ranking, mediocre posthumous title was most appropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officials immediately had a judgment in their hearts, but no one spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi would not let them reach a conclusion at such a time, but continued to carry out a series of more proper measures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, the court had to be stabilized first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact of this incident was too great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was assuming Gu Xi’s actions had greatly reduced the impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he had already purged the court officials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was destined to have repercussions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi had been watching all of this the entire time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, even he had not expected the Good Luck Card to have such an effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I can draw this kind of item again in the future, perhaps it could be used on the battlefield.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swords and blades have no eyes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A significant boost in luck will definitely play a major role.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He secretly made a decision, while also listening carefully to Gu Xi's arrangements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the influence of the Gu family grew, the changes in history had already begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting from the time of Liu Zhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Han had already undergone changes vastly different from the original history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it had even bypassed the period of Wang Sheng and Yan Ji's usurped power, arriving directly at the hands of Liu Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of change had completely surpassed what came before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for what the future would hold, he could not fathom it at all right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Gu Xi was only forty-six years old!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although just looking at his experiences, Gu Xi truly gave people the feeling that having gone through so much, he must be very aged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was not even fifty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having weathered the storms and gained fame throughout the world, he remained strong and vigorous upon his return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blessing of the Longevity Card ensured that Gu Xi’s body would not suffer from any problems at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Gu Yi did not yet know the limits of this thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as Gu Xi was still alive and in the imperial court, the Great Han could never again fall into the situation seen in the original history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having learned from this lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi would definitely be even more cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such uncertain factors, who could still see the future clearly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The starry sky was vast, and the night was as quiet as a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi led Liu Bao all the way into the Beigong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an entire day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere of the entire Great Han imperial court was extremely solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bao was only eleven years old, so he naturally appeared somewhat exhausted at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most crucially, he was filled with the fear of the imperial palace that had remained from years past, silently tugging at Gu Xi's sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Tutor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they stepped into the bedchamber, Liu Bao hesitated repeatedly before finally unable to help but speak: \"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty should refer to yourself as 'Zhen' now.\" Gu Xi interrupted him softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bao seemed to only then realize, hurriedly changing his words, \"Can I really be a good Emperor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared intently at Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi did not hesitate, nodding slightly: \"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will assist Your Majesty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then will the Grand Tutor also leave me one day in the future?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bao spoke again, a flash of nervousness appearing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this, Gu Xi was silent for a moment, then laughed freely, \"I am already old.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, Your Majesty may rest assured.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before Your Majesty has fully mastered the imperial court, I will absolutely not leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi's expression was particularly earnest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two opened up the conversation, and Gu Xi began to instruct Liu Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As Your Majesty is the sovereign, you must never bear the name of being unfilial, which is why I chose to spare Yan Ji's life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, this matter must be taken as a warning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty must remember to pay attention to this point in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the families of those ministers, this matter involves a great deal, so Your Majesty need not harbor resentment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Executing the ringleaders is enough to show them your stance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have dismissed them all, and Your Majesty may select and employ them based on their talents in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This move will surely make these people grateful to Your Majesty and can quickly cultivate a foundation of loyalty to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our Great Han's successive emperors have always had the practice of bestowing grace upon the people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that the world is gradually settling, Your Majesty may also do so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let the people of the world know of Your Majesty's benevolence, only then can the hearts of the myriad people be
