Jiao, dressed in a Daoist robe, was gazing at the massive city before him, his expression slightly complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a rough male voice came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, the two brothers, were seen running over in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Younger brother has already sent the letter to Luoyang; I imagine Mr. Gu has seen it by now,\" Zhang Bao said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Zhang Jiao nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, \"The situation is as it is; we must seek a way to break the deadlock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that the letter has been sent to Mr. Gu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our great cause... can finally move forward once more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps due to years of traveling, Zhang Jiao's skin was slightly dark, but there was an inexplicable aura about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually possessed a hint of Gu Xi's demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was so stern and unsmiling, always so indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the two brothers were somewhat excited, yet inevitably a bit nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, what they were about to do would turn the world upside down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need for panic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jiao merely glanced at them, immediately discerning their state of mind, and said, \"The Blue Heaven is dead; the Yellow Heaven shall rise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The current situation of the world is in my hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And with Mr. Gu here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if we truly fail, the people of the world will still find salvation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice remained as calm as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two brothers nodded immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Order the various commanders to prepare, and have people carve the two characters 'Great Peace' on the walls of government offices in every commandery; when my decree arrives, we shall rise together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jiao seemed to have already thought of everything, his voice growing increasingly resonant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two brothers did not waste a single word, bowed in acknowledgment, and immediately turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jiao turned around and looked toward the direction of Luoyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though separated by thousands of miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if he could see the person he was thinking of; his eyes grew increasingly sharp as he slowly tied the yellow turban he had long prepared onto his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luoyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hong had now completely solidified his intention to suppress the scholars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had devolved almost all power to the twelve Regular Attendants he had appointed, while he spent his days enjoying himself within the imperial palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eunuchs truly exhausted every effort for this Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hong had never seen a donkey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would find ways to spend countless sums to procure donkey carts for Liu Hong to play with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This even became a trend within Luoyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many sons of great clans took pride in owning a donkey cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, this was not the end of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he grew tired of playing with donkey carts, these eunuchs brought dogs to Liu Hong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dressed the dogs in official robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of the court officials, they would shout \"Dog Official\" repeatedly, which amused Liu Hong to no end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It infuriated the court officials and scholars to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Liu Hong began playing role-playing games within the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He built luxurious palaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he had the palace maids and eunuchs dress as peddlers, while he himself became a wealthy merchant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would drive a donkey cart and lead a dog through the palace, having the time of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, these eunuchs used the power in their hands to act tyrannically throughout the Great Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Great Han was clearly on the verge of total collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——The third month of the fifth year of Jianning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a man rushed into Luoyang, he shouted in a panic throughout the city, \"The Way of Great Peace intends to rebel, the Way of Great Peace intends to rebel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the whole city was in an uproar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This news seemed to have triggered a switch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making the Great Han, already on the verge of collapse, shake even more violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——The foundation of the state trembled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Way of Great Peace was well-known in the current Great Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who in the world did not know that this was a massive sect spreading across the entire Great Han?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could it suddenly rebel?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news was instantly transmitted into the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hong still had some brains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this news, he immediately climbed out of the pond, ignoring the reluctant gazes of the palace maids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While having the eunuchs wipe his body, he hurriedly ordered the ministers to be summoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was destined to be a major event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi had been watching all of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>History had indeed changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, Zhang Jiao had been buffed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emergence of the Gu Shizi had completely distanced the current Great Han from its original path, with significant leads in both national strength and population.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The followers of the Way of Great Peace were already far more numerous than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And most importantly, Zhang Jiao himself had become stronger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His years of experience with the Gu Shizi had taught him many things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was actually related to the policies Gu Yi had set in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teaching according to aptitude could indeed allow the Gu Shizi to recruit more talent, aiding the family's development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was precisely because of this that Zhang Jiao learned so much while at the Gu Shizi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was better at winning the hearts of his followers; his vision was clearer and more accurate; his mindset was firmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a monumental change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Zhang Jiao would definitely make the entire Great Han realize what it meant for \"a common man's rage to turn the world into mourning clothes\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Gu Xi's presence could indeed stabilize the hearts of the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news that he was never being put to use had long since filled the hearts of the common people with resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the current Great Han withstand this resentment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not necessarily!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hong would not employ Gu Xi; Gu Yi had noticed this early on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Liu Zhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhi, after all, had received favors from Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much he disliked the scholars, he always held some affection for Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Liu Hong had never had any contact with Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, Gu Xi was someone who could threaten his throne at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference here was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hong was also a smart man; he might not be as good as Liu Zhi, but he actually had his own ideas as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a person, before paying a sufficient price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was clearly unable to fully wake up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like in the original history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning the news, Liu Hong immediately ordered the arrest of the followers of the Way of Great Peace, executed all the insiders in the palace, and sent men to Hebei to apprehend the three Zhang brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——The momentum had begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The betrayal of his own disciple had indeed disrupted Zhang Jiao's plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the current Zhang Jiao had already successfully transformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly made his deployments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——At the end of the third month of the fifth year of Jianning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He led his followers to capture Yecheng and killed the officials in the city as a sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Blue Heaven is dead; the Yellow Heaven shall rise!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loud slogans echoed across every region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——The seventh day of the fourth month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Guangyang Yellow Turban Army killed the Inspector of Jizhou, Guo Xun, and the Administrator, Liu Wei, and captured the Prince of Anping, Liu Xu, and the Prince of Ganling, Liu Zhong, dealing a massive blow to the Great Han court's control over the Hebei region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—April 13th.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army rose up under the leadership of Bo Cai and charged straight toward the Yingchuan Commandery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—April 20th.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Runan Yellow Turban Army defeated the Administrator, Zhao Qian, seized control of parts of the Runan Commandery, and brought the flames of war to the doorstep of the south of Luoyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—April 27th.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Led by Zhang Mancheng, the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army killed the Nanyang Administrator, Chu Gong, and marched directly on the strategic town of Wancheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Followers of the Way of Peace rose up in succession across various regions, capturing commanderies and counties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people, who were once the commoners of the Great Han, were venting their fury in a frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the flames of war spread to all four corners of the Great Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just as these continuous reports were being sent to Luoyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Liu Hong panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scale of this rebellion had truly exceeded everyone's expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could the Great Han have fallen to such a state?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the founding of the nation by the former Emperor Guangwu, Liu Xiu, the Great Han had passed through several generations of emperors, and although there had been some twists and turns along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when had it ever fallen to this point?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could the heavenly army of the Great Han be so fragile?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with these rebels composed of displaced refugees, how could they be defeated one after another?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just one month, the war situation in various places made people feel the very scent of a nation's demise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hong finally woke up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly made arrangements and began preparing for a counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the current court of the Great Han was far from clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, in this moment of life and death, it still displayed a certain level of systemic order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hong quickly made his arrangements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—He dispatched Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to lead a main force of over forty thousand men to attack Yingchuan Commandery in Yuzhou to engage the Yingchuan Yellow Turbans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhi was to lead the Northern Army and the Jizhou cavalry to strike directly at Yecheng in Jizhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended to strike at Zhang Jiao directly, capturing the king to capture the bandits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He promoted He Jin to Grand General to lead the Imperial Guards and garrison Luoyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of arrangements were issued one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, there were naturally those who suggested that Gu Xi must be invited to come out of retirement at all costs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Gu Xi was advanced in years, they at least needed him to provide a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Liu Hong refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to remain very confident, believing that the Great Han's heavenly troops could resolve these problems, and he did not want to give Gu Xi any more opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he did agree to the lifting of the Proscription of Partisan Prohibitions as advised by Huangfu Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he followed the advice of the Grand Herald, Liu Yan, to \"abolish the inspectors and establish regional governors,\" decreeing that all regions recruit soldiers to resist the Yellow Turbans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to have become somewhat pathological.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to rely on his own various measures to suppress this surging momentum without utilizing Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Champion Marquis Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandfather, His Majesty has abolished the inspectors and established regional governors, giving local authorities military power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This move is a disaster for the nation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Wei's expression was somewhat flustered, and his eyes were filled with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly could not understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why Liu Hong would issue such an edict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was indeed thorny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not enough to completely crush the Great Han; as long as the Proscription of Partisan Prohibitions was lifted to prevent the scholars from joining forces with the Yellow Turbans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they could simply dispatch heavy troops to suppress them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they allow local authorities to possess military power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi's expression at this moment was also complex, and his eyes, which had been calm for many years, showed a change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A foolish ruler indeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He whispered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Gu Wei, he could naturally see the implications of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hong's move was clearly still for the sake of that so-called balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was clearly less important than the exclusivity of imperial power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Gu Xi did not care about these things; he already had his own judgment regarding power, and he was not in a rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that this edict allowing local authorities to possess military power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did indeed significantly affect his subsequent plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time he had commented on an emperor in such a way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the former Emperor Jingping, Liu Hu, and Emperor Huan, Liu Zhi, had never made him offer such an assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Gu Wei's body could not help but tremble slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi did not care about this, his expression returning to normal as he asked, \"Has Zhang Jiao avoided Julu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Wei immediately nodded: \"Zhang Jiao did not let the rebels disturb our Julu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Send word to the family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi seemed to have anticipated this long ago and spoke immediately: \"We must prepare early, and we cannot place our hopes on others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, how could he not know who had sent that letter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must have been Zhang Jiao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a purely open scheme by Zhang Jiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the court would not employ Gu Xi, he was forcing the court to bow its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was using the momentum of the world to lend Gu Xi a helping hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi ultimately had to consider his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reputation of his ancestors and the future situation of the family destined Gu Xi to find it difficult to make many choices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Jiao had done all of this for him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was using this very method to force the court to bow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This move was indeed brilliant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a purely open scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if someone had understood all of this in advance, they could not have stopped it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the resentment in the hearts of the Great Han commoners was already laid out there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Zhang Jiao did not do it, someone else would have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Gu Xi even felt a sense of becoming a bosom friend with Zhang Jiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, this was destined to be impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment Zhang Jiao took this step, he and Gu Xi could only walk on opposing paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandson understands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Wei nodded immediately, but he did not leave right away; instead, he looked at Gu Xi and asked again: \"Grandfather, do you truly not care about the Great Han anymore?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No rush.\" Gu Xi shook his head: \"The opportunity will come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this matter\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is not entirely a bad thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Destroy, then rebuild!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does it mean to destroy and then rebuild?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It means that only after the whole world knows how terrifying the fury of the commoners is, can the hearts of the people be rebuilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi was very clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he were to intervene now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he could truly quell this rebellion, clean up the administration, and even allow the Great Han to maintain its superficial prosperity once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would that achieve?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the fundamental problems were resolved, this matter was destined to be a sharp blade hanging over their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this blade was very likely to harm the Gu family in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the public good and for private reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not be impatient!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi had been watching all of this, and his heart was growing increasingly tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this move by Gu Xi already had the taste of licking blood from the edge of a blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was clearly playing a game of chess against Heaven itself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the moment of historical correction laid out here, Gu Xi wanted to use this act to thoroughly resolve the fundamental problems of the Great Han; was this not playing a game of chess against Heaven?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was destined to be an extremely risky move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were to succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gu clan would never again need to worry about their status!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a meritorious deed is hard to find throughout the ages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But is this even possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would the ambitious heroes about to emerge in this chaotic world really be inferior to Gu Xi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Gu Yi could not help but become increasingly nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Jiao was a man from
