keenly grasped the urgent situation currently facing the Han court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the support of Liang Na, he actually managed to finalize the new monarch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And most crucially, their actions were fundamentally different from those of Yan Ji back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——Because Gu Xi was not in the court, and Gu Xi was no longer the regent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This actually made a fundamental difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the most critical point was that no one could be certain if Gu Xi would come at all, or if he could reach Luoyang safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dynasty cannot stop its progress because of one person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is the case now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor’s passing was destined to be impossible to conceal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the throne remained vacant, it would inevitably cause turmoil in the hearts of the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Han needs an emperor to stabilize the public, and it needs the Empress, Liang Na, to preside over the overall situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although some ministers suggested waiting for the Grand Tutor to arrive before deciding on this matter,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was destined not to receive the support of all the ministers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention Liang Ji and his faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even an upright official like the current Grand Marshal Li Gu would not second such a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of public duty, reason, and the world at large,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>at this moment, everything cannot be placed solely upon Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And most crucially, this accident actually suppressed the matter of Liu Suan’s inexplicable death in the palace that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed everyone knew there was something wrong with that affair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But given the current crisis facing the Han, everyone feared causing further waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi had been watching all of this, and at this moment, he was also somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected things to develop in this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original history,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after Liu Bao passed away, the Han went through Emperor Chong of Han, Liu Bing, and Emperor Zhi of Han, Liu Zuan, before finally reaching Liu Zhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the changes now are unprecedented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The extension of Liu Bao’s lifespan meant that Liu Bing passed away before becoming emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And precisely because of this, to prevent another situation where a new monarch died young, Liu Bao chose the older Liu Suan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The development of all this was extremely logical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, in the original history, Liu Suan was a strong contender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many ministers supported him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the reason he ultimately missed the throne was his contempt for the eunuchs, which led Cao Teng and others to support Liang Ji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Liang Ji poisoned Emperor Zhi, Liu Zuan, and installed Liu Zhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The developments here are completely different, yet the final result is the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi silently analyzed all of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through such long observation, he had gained a certain degree of understanding regarding this so-called historical correction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it bluntly, it depends on the influence of the Gu clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the Gu clan’s influence is too great,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this correction will descend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like with Liu Zhuang back then, the appearance of Gu Kang and Gu Cheng allowed the Han to achieve unprecedented development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhuang’s early death broke that excellent opportunity for continued development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And following the passing of Gu Kang and Gu Cheng, Gu Liang did not cause much impact due to his lack of talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>History was not corrected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Da’s time in power remained unchanged, and subsequent developments continued with the Dou clan in power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the successive rise of Gu Xi,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the correction descended once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this was only a guess by Gu Yi, it seemed that the facts were indeed so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this, Gu Yi could not help but feel even heavier at heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was completely going against the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gu clan must ensure sufficient influence while also facing the continuous correction of history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difficulty of this can be imagined!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi even began to worry about Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Gu Xi’s personality, would he return to Luoyang?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He certainly would!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the kind of person who could bet his own life for the sake of the Han and his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But according to history,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the disasters the Eastern Han would face next were unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wished he could control things directly right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, Gu Yi’s achievement points were simply not enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, to save Gu Xi, he had consumed tens of thousands of achievement points on lucky draws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although over these years, the deaths of Gu clan members serving as officials and Gu Kang’s special achievements had provided Gu Yi with some points,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>these points were truly a drop in the bucket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could be certain that Gu Xi’s death would bring him a great many achievement points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that would not change reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Gu Yi only felt his mood suddenly grow heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Gu residence, the atmosphere was exceptionally grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person sent by the imperial court to deliver the news had arrived in Julu and informed Gu Xi of the earth-shattering changes in the court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This news was like a bolt from the blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi stared blankly at the messenger, his expression uncharacteristically dull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His Majesty... has passed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared fixedly at the man and asked in a murmur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving a confirmed answer,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in an instant, Gu Xi knelt directly on the ground, his eyes turning red at that very moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at the heavens in a daze, shaking his head repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could this be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could His Majesty pass away when he is so young?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did His Majesty not send a letter just a few days ago?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was filled with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, he thought his own life was nearing its end, yet he had persisted until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he could clearly feel his energy was not what it used to be, he had never contracted a serious illness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet looking at Liu Bao, who had passed away so young, how could Gu Xi not feel heartbroken?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bao and he were not merely monarch and subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that the relationship between the two had long since transcended that of monarch and subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And most crucially, the Han had lost another wise monarch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this day, the entire Gu residence was draped in mourning cloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Gu Xi was filled with immense grief, it did not exceed Gu Yi’s expectations; he made his decision without much thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——To rush to Luoyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after all, Gu Xi’s age was a factor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with this intention of his, almost all the Gu clan members were somewhat resistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you truly intend to go to Luoyang... I fear...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Lin stared at Gu Xi, his face full of worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was no longer young himself now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a group of Gu clan members were the same, naturally including the sixth generation of the Gu clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi looked at the people before him, sighed softly, then looked up at the sky and murmured: \"I have been deep in the court since I was eleven years old.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was highly valued by Emperor Xiaohe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After Emperor Xiaohe passed away, I was entrusted by the Emperor to care for the young heir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Together with Empress Hexi, I governed the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the past, I was constantly worried that my great cause would remain unfinished, that I would pass away from illness like the ancestors and emperors of my Gu family before me, and thus fail Emperor Xiaohe and the ancestors of the Gu family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But now, I only wish to ask myself why I have not yet died.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly revealed a self-deprecating smile and continued, \"Perhaps this is the will of Heaven.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The will of Heaven is for me, Gu Xi, to die in the imperial court.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he looked at the descendants before him with a firm gaze, his expression gradually calming, \"You need not worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As of today, the family is stable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This journey is a return to Luoyang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I can help restore the Han house once more, it will be of immense benefit to my Gu family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I truly am to perish in the court.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi looked disdainful and smiled indifferently: \"It is merely death; at that time, you may send me back to Julu for burial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when facing life and death, Gu Xi remained incomparably calm, without a shred of fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several sixth-generation descendants of the Gu family stared blankly at Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, these words from Gu Xi had a profound impact on their young minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this journey, the Gu family had made full preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi’s age was indeed very advanced, and for this arduous journey, imperial physicians were indispensable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, years ago, Liu Bao had sent many imperial physicians to Julu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not considered troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later, Gu Xi officially set off directly for Luoyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless commoners wept as they saw him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a situation completely opposite to when Gu Xi returned to Jizhou in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Gu Xi’s snow-white hair, everyone felt that Gu Xi would likely not survive to return to Jizhou again, and the sorrow in their hearts compelled them to come and see him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a prestige that others could never understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The years Gu Xi spent back in Julu could be called the best time for the people of Julu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No official dared to cause trouble at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the local powerful clans had become somewhat honest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And besides the past favors of the Gu family, Gu Xi would also have the imperial physicians sent by Liu Bao treat the commoners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that such a sage was going to risk his life to return to Luoyang, who could help but feel sorrow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very back of the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little boy could not help but shed tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he could not see Gu Xi, who was blocked by the crowd, due to his height, he cried very sadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his older brother weeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two even younger boys he was holding could not help but cry as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the slightly older boys could not help but ask: \"Brother, why are you crying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his younger brother’s question, the little boy wiped his tears and replied: \"Master Gu is already at such an age, yet he still harbors a heart to save the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is truly admirable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two younger brothers clearly could not yet understand this logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the little boy did not mind and continued: \"I have heard that in the Gu family private school, there is medical knowledge passed down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have decided to go to the Gu family private school to study medicine starting tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if I cannot be like Master Gu, I must try to save the people of the world!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, the little boy pulled his two younger brothers and quickly pushed through the crowd, wanting to see Gu Xi with his own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were simply too many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he pushed through the crowd, he could only see Gu Xi’s carriage moving further and further away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not feel the slightest bit of disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he stared fixedly at Gu Xi’s carriage, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi had been keeping an eye on Gu Xi the entire time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he was not worried about Gu Xi’s health.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Longevity Card was specifically for dying of old age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the accident of being struck by blades, Gu Xi’s lifespan would absolutely not end at just over sixty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What truly worried Gu Yi was how Gu Xi would face those hidden in the shadows of the imperial court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the ministers could perceive the strangeness of this matter, let alone Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi naturally would have nothing to worry about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it was different; Gu Xi no longer held any real power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his prestige was gradually fading with the passage of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though there were still some people in the court whom Gu Xi had promoted before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But human hearts are fickle; how could one rely entirely on these people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The risk Gu Xi was taking this time was truly too great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what could Gu Yi say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just like when Liu Bei was disastrously defeated for avenging Guan Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some might think Liu Bei’s action was foolish, but no one would say Liu Bei was not a hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are always some things that transcend everything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, when the country was stable, he could leave gracefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, when the country is in danger, he could also return at the risk of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was their persistence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luoyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the previous returns of the Gu family head to the capital, the pomp of Gu Xi’s arrival this time was indeed much worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Han was currently in a period of national mourning, and many rituals could not be used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Liang Na still had Liu Zhi lead the officials to welcome Gu Xi, and among them were also many commoners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news of Gu Xi’s return to the capital even somewhat dispersed the sorrow brought about by the passing of Liu Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bao was a benevolent emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His death was destined to have an unimaginable impact on the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only one who could influence it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was Gu Xi, who possessed even higher prestige.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the ministers saw Gu Xi again, they were almost all stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi had indeed reached the twilight of his years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, his hair was as white as snow, and his face was covered in wrinkles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the only thing that had not changed was the unique temperament he carried, and his eyes, which remained as sharp as an eagle’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Grand Tutor.\" Liu Zhi spoke first, breaking the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, the ministers behind him bowed to Gu Xi one after another, saying in unison: \"We pay our respects to the Grand Tutor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bao had left an edict in the past that when officials from all over saw Gu Xi, it was as if they were seeing him in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was something everyone knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even without such an edict, Gu Xi’s prestige would still make the ministers submit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty.\" Gu Xi glanced at Liu Zhi, recognized his identity, and hurriedly prepared to bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhi hurriedly reached out to stop Gu Xi, saying earnestly: \"The Grand Tutor is the pillar of our Great Han, and I am merely a child;
