stared at Gu Ye and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Ye nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhong Hui first glanced at Liu Hui, then at the \"Nine Chapters of Mathematical Art\" in his hand, shook his head, and murmured, \"What a pity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, someone like Liu Hui, who lacked the demeanor of a distinguished scholar, even if slightly talented, could amount to no more than this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi was momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he quickly realized that Zhong Hui must be indulging in his scholar’s prejudice again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still let Liu Hui explain his annotations and clarify the potential benefits they might bring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Zhong Hui had little regard for Liu Hui,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he clearly understood the importance of the matter and patiently listened throughout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Liu Hui spoke, shock once again registered on Zhong Hui’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Liu Hui finished explaining and left,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Hui didn’t hesitate in the slightest and immediately declared, \"A special imperial examination must be set, using this ’Nine Chapters of Mathematical Art’ as the subject!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi immediately controlled Gu Ye to shake his head: \"The ’Nine Chapters of Mathematical Art’ can only be used as the topic for this imperial examination, and subsequent examinations must follow current events with other subject matters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mathematics needs innovation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If future examinations were all to be confined to the ’Nine Chapters of Mathematical Art,’ it would hinder its development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi certainly wouldn’t make such a foolish move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Hui paused briefly and eventually nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was impatient by nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the regulations for this examination were finalized, he immediately rose and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Gu Yi did not idle either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly controlled Gu Ye to head towards the Imperial Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shan was no longer young now, with white hair already appearing at his temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Gu Yi found remarkable was that—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at such an age, Liu Shan still retained his original heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remained indulgent in pleasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he was not indulgent in women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This, whether in ancient or modern times, was indeed a rarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Gu Ye’s suggestion, Liu Shan naturally did not refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn’t understand it,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>since it was proposed by a Gu Clan member, it must be correct as far as he was concerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The matter was swiftly decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole court was in an uproar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A special examination for mathematics, even making it a separate subject in the next imperial examination!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was like a bolt from the blue for the current Great Han!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could believe that all this could really be true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mathematics could actually be deemed worthy of standalone subject status?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a trivial subject.... was going to be placed on the same level as the classical left by the ancients?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumors and gossip surged instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many lamented that this move was a betrayal of ancestral teachings, a deficiency within Confucian education.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all this ultimately proved futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Liu Shan would meet these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But later, seemingly finding it bothering, he stopped seeing them altogether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as the time for the imperial examination drew near,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how difficult it was to accept, there would always be those who would bow to interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, some stubborn old Confucian scholars were willing to die to reverse this act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Gu Yi couldn’t claim they were wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every era has its batch of stubbornly conservative individuals reluctant to embrace new affairs, clinging to their beliefs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet time moves forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even they could stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor could Gu Yi hinder its evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eighth year of Yanxi, the imperial examination commenced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being the first examination after the Great Han’s reform, it garnered unprecedented attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi was a man of his word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He specifically selected a group to screen candidates before local examinations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone labeled as \"disperse followers,\" regardless of status, was dismissed from taking the exams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winds of change swirled in various regions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone focused on the impending examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this juncture, news from the frontier reached Luoyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——Guan Qiujian had passed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a key general left by Gu Chen, Guan Qiujian had been guarding the most threatening land, Youzhou State.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For decades, he made no errors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His death was like losing a pillar for the Great Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the realm not been stable,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi couldn’t have accomplished as much as he had in such a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although never having met Guan Qiujian, Liu Shan was deeply grieved by his death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all Gu Chen’s legacies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed... fewer of them remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi felt complex emotions, part sadness but mostly solemnity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan Qiujian was gone....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Wei... Deng Ai, how much longer could they last?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Han’s tranquil times neared their end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that Gu Chen left for Great Han was fading with time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Kyushu truly wished for lasting peace, it must rely on the efforts of future generations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this day forward....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi paid increasing attention to the movements of the barbarians and accelerated internal reforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how swift Gu Yi acted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in an era where news traveled only through messengers, he could not rival time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The death of Guan Qiujian was like a signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zenith of civil and military officials in the Great Han court was waning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the year’s end,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Wan fell ill and had to resign the position of Chancellor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly understood his role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To stabilize the court until Gu Ye grew older.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his resignation, he directly proposed appointing Gu Ye as Chancellor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This immediately unleashed a tremendous storm in the court, for although Gu Ye’s status was increasingly distinguished, becoming a national Chancellor at his age was indeed premature.\u003C\u002Fp>",952,"2026-06-03T09:29:35.354Z","2026-06-03T09:29:44.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","e311489de71682c8196bfcf5d8847e829ad44e5a9a563aa5f3904e96e2adf6eb","i-can-control-my-ancestors-chapter-302","i-can-control-my-ancestors-chapter-50",517,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-control-my-ancestors-cover.jpg"]
