Chapter 552

Looking at the towering Chang'an city walls, Liu Bao's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Who is this Liu Bao?

He is the son of the former Great Great Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu, Yufuluo.

But several years ago, Yufuluo had already died of illness.

The position of Great Great Chanyu of the Southern Southern Xiongnu fell into the hands of Yufuluo's younger brother, Poor Huchuquan.

The power transition between northern nomadic peoples is often accompanied by various blood and slaughter.

For example, Tadun and Lou Ban.

Only one of the two can survive.

And on the Southern Southern Xiongnu side, it is the same principle.

When Yufuluo passed away, because his son Liu Bao was still young, Poor Huchuquan successfully usurped the position of Great Great Chanyu.

For his young nephew, Poor Huchuquan did not exterminate him but drove him to the Han territory.

However.

Poor Huchuquan always underestimated the influence left behind by Yufuluo.

In the era when Yufuluo ruled the Southern Southern Xiongnu, the level of Sinicization of the Southern Southern Xiongnu was greatly improved.

To set an example, Yufuluo even gave his newborn son the surname Liu, to prove his determination to lead the Southern Southern Xiongnu toward Sinicization.

Therefore, even after Yufuluo passed away.

Within the Southern Southern Xiongnu, there were still many people willing to support Yufuluo's young son, Liu Bao.

This year, Liu Bao is no longer the young child he was, but an adult of nearly seventeen.

With the growth of age, certain ambitions will naturally be revealed.

What's more, Liu Bao had been instilled with various concepts by those around him since childhood.

Therefore, in Liu Bao's heart, he held monstrous hatred for his uncle Poor Huchuquan.

He could not wait to kill his way back to the Southern Southern Xiongnu King's Court and take back the position of Great Great Chanyu that should have belonged to him.

However.

This Liu Bao is actually a clever person.

He understands that with his own strength, it is impossible to be Poor Huchuquan's opponent.

To defeat Poor Huchuquan, he can only borrow external forces.

Under the suggestion of those around him, Liu Bao once thought of seeking help from Yuan Shao.

But the diplomatic relationship between Yuan Shao and Poor Huchuquan is quite good now.

Naturally, he would not fall out with Poor Huchuquan for someone like Liu Bao.

Thus, Liu Bao set his sights on Gu Yi.

He had already decided that after seeing Gu Yi, he must add oil and vinegar to inform Gu Yi about the matters between Yuan Shao and Poor Huchuquan.

In this way, Gu Yi would certainly agree to support him, Liu Bao, to confront Poor Huchuquan!

Thinking of this, Liu Bao could not help but feel proud of his own cleverness.

Little did he know.

When he stepped into Chang'an City.

His own destiny was no longer under his control.

In the Chancellor's Mansion (Qin Wang Mansion)

Gu Yi was teasing the twenty-plus children gathered around him.

Apart from his eldest son Huan'er, in recent years, each concubine had successively added an heir for Gu Yi.

Even more so, people like Ma Ma Yunlu and Zou Lin Wanqing are now pregnant with their third child.

For Gu Yi, since taking power, the happiest thing is to accompany his wife and children.

At this time, he finally understood why old Dong was so eager to retire.

Sigh, power is truly a double-edged sword.

While holding power, isn't one also becoming a captive of power?

Now.

Old Dong's retirement life is much happier compared to Gu Yi's.

When he has nothing to do, he occasionally calls Cai Yong to sit and fish in the suburbs of Chang'an.

Besides this.

Under Zhang Zhang Zhongjing's instruction, old Dong also learned how to maintain his health.

Although his body is still fat.

But compared to before.

Whether it is his physical constitution or his spirit, they are much better.
