hall suddenly stagnated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Empress Dowager Liang had long anticipated that Gu Xi would definitely ask about this matter, she had not expected Gu Xi to be so direct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hesitated for a moment, then said earnestly, \"Grand Tutor, to tell you the truth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regarding this matter, I do not know either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sighed deeply: \"The Emperor passed away, and the court and the country underwent a great upheaval.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I dared not act rashly; I originally wanted to investigate in secret, but I had no leads at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Empress Dowager Liang's expression was also somewhat unsightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she felt that the death of Liu Bao was related to this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had not suffered such a great blow, Liu Bao's body might have been able to hold on for a while longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, the instability of the court situation outweighed everything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could not possibly launch a large-scale, thorough investigation before the new monarch had even established a firm footing, could she?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention who the person behind the scenes was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he was able to strike within the palace, it was enough to show his extraordinary nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi had been watching Empress Dowager Liang's expression, and after a moment of silence, he nodded slightly: \"This subject understands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, please rest assured; this subject will certainly get to the bottom of this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression had no particular change from beginning to end, yet it could inexplicably make people feel at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Empress Dowager Liang nodded slightly and did not say anything more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, Gu Xi went to see another person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Cao Teng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Gu Xi who had arranged for Cao Teng to be by Liu Bao's side in years past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because of this that Liu Bao had always held Cao Teng in high regard over these years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Cao Teng had not let down Liu Bao or Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over these years, there had never been any negligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he saw Gu Xi, Cao Teng immediately knelt down and said with some agitation: \"This old servant pays respects to the Grand Tutor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi looked at him calmly and asked: \"Jixing, are you aware of the upheaval within the palace?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Tutor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Teng lowered his head, not daring to have the slightest hesitation, and said hurriedly: \"This old servant truly does not know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the time this old servant learned of this matter, the former Crown Prince had already passed away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Later, this old servant also wanted to investigate in secret.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the eunuchs of the Eastern Palace all said they did not know the reason, and those who had traces of involvement had all disappeared; this old servant was also utterly helpless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eye sockets turned slightly red, and his tone suddenly became somewhat self-reproachful: \"The Grand Tutor and the late Emperor have shown this old servant kindness as heavy as a mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His Majesty passed away because of this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This old servant wishes he could immediately drag out the person behind the scenes and slaughter his entire household!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi looked at him earnestly and waved his hand: \"Enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep a close watch on everyone in the palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no need to be anxious about this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Gu Xi rose and walked straight out of the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contrary to everyone's expectations, in the few days after Gu Xi arrived in the capital, he did not bring up the strange events that had occurred within the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He merely followed the rites to help handle the state funeral for Liu Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was clearly different from Gu Xi's usual decisive and swift style of doing things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was extremely surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Gu Yi did not see what Gu Xi was trying to do at the very beginning either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But afterwards, he understood Gu Xi's intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Gu Xi was building up momentum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The times were already different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imperial court had always been a place of coming and going, and Gu Xi had already left the court for many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had suddenly returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he directly restore his former prestige?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Times change and the world changes; Gu Xi's reputation was destined to dissipate with time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the current situation, the key lay in Gu Xi's political maneuvering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Gu Xi truly did not demonstrate his own capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And let others feel that he was truly old, then Gu Xi's status would surely plummet instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High or low status needed to be judged by ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A superficial, glossy appearance was not enough to support what Gu Xi was about to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Gu Xi understood this point very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His political level was not poor to begin with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that the version of him from years ago no longer needed these methods; it was not that he did not know how.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, after only a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Officials began to come one after another to pay their respects to Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for a few of the most important ones, Gu Xi did not pay attention to the other officials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the most important were naturally the few who held status in the imperial court today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First was the Grand Marshal Li Gu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Gu was the son of Li He; Li He and Gu Xi had served in the same court in years past, and later followed Gu Xi to govern state affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was deeply valued by Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a bond of old friendship in all of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that were Yuan Tang and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The connection between the Yuan clan and the Gu clan naturally went without saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Gu Kang promoted Yuan An, the Yuan clan could be said to be the Gu clan's constant, die-hard followers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Yuan Tang was the most prominent person of the Yuan clan and was the current Minister of Works.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi had very subtle observations of every official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attainments in human nature had long since reached the pinnacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could analyze many things through some simple interactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi saw with his own eyes that Gu Xi had people record the officials who came to pay their respects in private.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought that he would first investigate those who did not come to pay their respects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he did not expect that Gu Xi would launch a sudden counter-attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He aimed his direction directly at the officials who had come to pay their respects to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his own words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There must be those among them who harbor fear; not coming to pay respects often represents that they have no fear in their hearts and do not care whether I have my eyes on them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the cognitive inertia of a smart person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi could not truly say that this idea was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Liang Ji had indeed come to pay his respects to Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had performed as the most enthusiastic one, constantly expressing his loyalty to Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After making this judgment, Gu Xi immediately launched this thorough investigation in the imperial court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one would refuse such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Afterwards, Gu Xi displayed all of his sharpness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly ordered people to detain all the eunuchs and palace maids who had been in contact with Liu Suan that day, and subsequently immediately restricted all powerful eunuchs such as the Regular Palace Attendants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As well as the hundred officials of the court!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once this matter came out, the court and the country were shaken!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had expected that Gu Xi would actually adopt such direct methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, some people's dissuasion followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying things like \"Gu Xi has no solid evidence and should not do this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it was not really that they had ulterior motives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that they were too pedantic and insisted that everything must be done according to precedent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gu Xi knew clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of matter had to be handled with lightning speed, and if this matter failed, his reputation in the court would surely be greatly diminished in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And how could such a matter not be taken seriously?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At such a time, Gu Xi's allies played their part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was Yuan Tang or Li Gu, both had considerable status in the court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would naturally organize manpower to deal with these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Gu Xi’s interrogation this time could be said to have fully utilized his judgment of the human heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had all the eunuchs and palace maids detained separately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not allow them to meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even forbade the Palace Attendants from having any contact with one another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He incited all the fear hidden within their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Gu Xi did not rely solely on intimidation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also used the lure of profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said, Liu Zhi was indeed quite clever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly understood the key to this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Liu Suan could die within the palace, why couldn’t he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Liu Suan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was even younger and had no foundation, so he naturally supported this matter greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, someone could no longer bear the pressure and ratted out a minor palace attendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that minor palace attendant, upon learning of this, also confessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stated his own reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claiming that he felt Liu Suan did not like eunuchs, and if he were to succeed to the throne, their lives would likely be very difficult, and so on and so forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This reason was indeed plausible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone felt that the matter might end here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gu Xi did not stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, a mere minor palace attendant, no matter how resentful he felt, how could he be so bold without someone’s support?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even if he killed Liu Suan, what would happen if another monarch who disliked eunuchs came along in the future?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Ji had not expected things to develop this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, he had done quite well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By executing everyone involved in the poisoning of Liu Suan, he had gathered the minor palace attendants and made them take the blame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had shown no hostility toward Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that if he fought by force, he could not compare to Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only continue to show weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking to get past this matter, and once Gu Xi died, he could directly use his status as the Empress Dowager’s brother to seize power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that he had made thorough preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he truly had not expected Gu Xi to be so serious about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Ji was truly starting to panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He desperately wanted to send someone to kill Meng Ben, but Gu Xi’s strict supervision of these people left him no opportunity at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must know, the current Liang Ji was not the all-powerful Grand General from the original history!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the result of this matter was naturally no surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi brought the minor palace attendant’s family into the capital, forcing the attendant to open his mouth and implicate Meng Ben.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Meng Ben, unable to withstand this pressure, directly confessed that Liang Ji was behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once this came out, the court and the public were shaken!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Ji was, after all, Liang Na’s brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they knew this result, it was hard not to let them develop other thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back to how Liang Na had directly installed Liu Zhi as Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that all the threads had become clear at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, the turmoil within the court and the public became even more intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gu Xi suppressed this turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Northern Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Na looked at Gu Xi in disbelief, tears streaming down her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could it be my brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could my brother do such a thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared tightly at Gu Xi, finding it hard to accept all of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meng Ben has already confessed that because he feared the late Crown Prince would dislike eunuchs after ascending the throne, he went to see Liang Ji.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Liang Ji also harbored the desire to monopolize power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feeling that the late Crown Prince was too old and difficult to control, he sent people to poison the late Crown Prince.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi’s expression was calm as he told Liang Na the details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Liang Na heard, the paler her face became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly remembered what Liang Ji had said when he came to find her that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Install Liu Zhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is still young and has no foundation, making it convenient to control in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Na’s body suddenly staggered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything had been calculated long ago; even she, the Empress Dowager, had been calculated into it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of inexplicable desolation arose in Liang Na’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared blankly at Gu Xi, silent for a long time, before asking softly: \"What does the Grand Tutor want me to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Empress Dowager.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi bowed earnestly to Liang Na and said slowly: \"Your subject believes this matter has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, Liang Ji’s actions have committed the crime of regicide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It cannot be forgiven.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To avoid the wagging tongues of the world, your subject also requests that the Empress Dowager refrain from concerning herself with state affairs in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to weaken the Empress Dowager’s power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi did not know how much longer he could live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such a thing must absolutely never happen again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this move could also calm the officials, as many in the court had participated in the investigation of this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could not fear Liang Na’s future retaliation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had some understanding of Liang Na’s character, otherwise he would not have chosen to trust her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But human nature is something one cannot gamble on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi had to make every preparation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Liang Na’s body trembled violently, and tears continued to fall from her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She naturally understood the meaning behind Gu Xi’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what could she say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her own brother had committed a grave error; how could she possibly escape it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, Liang Na finally nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi quickly announced this to the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he decided to execute only Liang Ji’s branch of the family, though he did not wipe out the entire Liang clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same went for the eunuchs in the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those involved were all executed, and restrictions were placed on the other eunuchs as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless granted special favor, eunuchs’ descendants could not inherit titles, thereby greatly weakening the eunuchs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter could be said to have thoroughly established the foundation for Gu Xi’s return to the court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gu Xi of the past seemed to have returned once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, he was even more ruthless than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi could understand Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was truly afraid that he would suddenly die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi wanted to utilize all his time to build a solid foundation for the Great Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there were also those who privately suggested that Gu Xi could depose the Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Liu Zhi was the Emperor installed by Liang Na.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gu Xi refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter was in accordance with all rules; if he were to truly depose the Emperor, it would be more harmful than beneficial to the Gu Shizi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in Gu Xi’s view, Liu Zhi was indeed quite intelligent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the state mourning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi held a grand enthronement ceremony for Liu Zhi, and Liu Zhi announced the change of the reign title to \"Yanxi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire imperial court seemed to have returned to the right track once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was exactly as it had been in years past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young Son of Heaven sat upon the dragon throne, while Gu Xi stood sword in hand by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, there were also differences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi was indeed already very old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not believe he still had the time to raise another Emperor like Liu Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was precisely because of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi's methods this time were more direct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would still let Liu Zhi make his own choices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Liu Zhi made a mistake, he would point it out directly, rather than offering guidance as he had with Liu Bao in the past, letting Liu Bao contemplate it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doing this had both advantages and disadvantages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The advantage was that Gu Xi's presence greatly increased administrative efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Great Han had just passed through the era of Liu Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Successive reforms had ensured the integrity of the Great Han's civil service.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi's return to the court minimized the losses caused by Liu Bao's passing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Great Han remained in a golden age, without any errors appearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bao had originally learned his methods of governing from Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Gu Xi had returned, it was naturally second nature to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disadvantage was that Liu Zhi was still young after all, and sometimes he simply could not grasp the essence of Gu Xi's teachings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was also a helpless situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi had to seize every moment to let Liu Zhi gradually grow his own wings, so as to thoroughly stabilize the Great Han's imperial court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, amidst this stability, Gu Yi perceived risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was that the court officials and the scholars of the Great Han were becoming a bit too bold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their attitude toward Liu Zhi was, surprisingly, like that of a teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was absolutely a massive disaster in the making.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were not Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi had been entrusted by Liu Zhao with the care of the orphan, and had supported the Great Han state three times; he had become the true teacher of the Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This status was something others could not compare to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was fine while Liu Zhi was still young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they remained this way once he grew up, it was destined to be a catastrophic disaster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3034,"2026-06-20T03:16:01.192Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
