Chapter 128 A Fine Head, Who Can Take It? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

—Move the mountain!
Gu Yu used this sacrificial ceremony to fully declare his determination.

This also set the course for the Gu family's future!
When the land prospers, the Gu family flourishes!
Gu Yi watched all of this silently, his heart filled with excitement!
Wasn't he also waiting?

He wanted to see what Gu Yu was capable of!

I'd also like to see, even after several hundred years...
After its glorious past and years of silence, how much power can the Gu family unleash?
Now, that day has finally arrived!
Gu Yu had clearly made thorough preparations.

He did not fully expose his family to the public, something he emphasized above all else.

Gu Yu was just a member of the family who had scattered!

The lineage of Marquis Huan;
Lingnan lineage;

There are also pulses from all over the world.

The Gu family is no longer the small family it once was!
Although the influence of these pulse lines is not as great as that of the main pulse line.

But they still wield extraordinary influence in various regions.

Gu Yu, on the other hand, was in charge of the main branch, remotely controlling all directions!

—Invisible rumors began to spread throughout the world.

"Yang Guang's ascension to the throne was illegitimate!"

"The Renshou Palace Massacre".

"Patricide!"

Gu Yu's judgment of people's hearts was obviously extraordinary. When he started to spread rumors in the dark, the rumors spread throughout the entire Nine Provinces in an instant!

Some people are also helping to spread rumors!

And the rumors are getting more and more outrageous!

But who would care?
The passage through Renshou Palace that day will leave a large opening for everyone!

Once all of this gained a reputation, the rumors throughout the world could no longer be stopped!
People's hearts are in complete chaos!
The influence of the Gu family was fully demonstrated at this time, even though they could not use all their strength or put everything out in the open.

But from the moment the Gu family united, it still had a tremendous impact on the entire world!

A single spark can start a prairie fire!
That's how it is now.

Of course, Gu Yu's methods are far more complex than that.

In addition, he also made use of prophecies and superstitions.

Regardless of the era.

These are all powerful weapons, but unfortunately Gu Yu cannot use the Gu family's prestige to stir up this unrest in people's hearts.

Otherwise, the entire Kyushu region would definitely undergo a tremendous upheaval.

Nursery rhymes; stone inscriptions; celestial phenomena;

Various rumors that conformed to prophecies and superstitions arose from all directions.

Gu Yu's move this time was very decisive, launching an attack on the foundation of the Sui Dynasty from all aspects!
The Renshou Palace Coup—this was the reason Gu Yu gave to all the feudal lords in the land to rebel!

The superstition of prophecies and apocryphal texts was meant to convince the people that the Sui Dynasty had lost its mandate of heaven!
From feudal lords to ordinary people!

Gu Yu launched his first offensive with swift and decisive action!
But that's not all!
In addition to giving others confidence, Gu Yu also took action on the economy and the refugees!

Its centuries-old heritage is unimaginable to outsiders.

Not to mention that when Gu Yi was manipulating Gu Ye, he had already left the entire family with the tradition of preserving craftsmen.

For the Gu family, counterfeiting the imperial Wuzhu coins was far too easy.

As for the displaced people.

Gu Yu's method was simpler, ostensibly for disaster relief.

That's exactly what we did!

only--

While providing disaster relief, the people were guided to Luoyang, including to Yang Guang's various temporary palaces.

This is a pure killing move!
From the moment the anger of the refugees is fully ignited, the entire Sui Dynasty will be destroyed in an instant.

The situation is becoming increasingly chaotic.

Gu Yu's series of measures truly pushed the Sui Dynasty to the brink of collapse.

Even Emperor Yang Guang could no longer remain calm.

He had originally planned to deal with the Gu family and embark on his third campaign!
but--

The current situation has completely spiraled out of his control.

Economic collapse;

Refugees were everywhere;

The influence of the four powerful figures grew stronger.

The rumors spreading in various places had reached a point where Yang Guang had to pay attention, finally making him fully vigilant.

Luoyang, Xiyuan.

Looking at the group of palace maids playing around in front of him, Yang Guang, with his hair down and loose, had lost all interest.

beside him.

Empress Xiao, her shoulders partially exposed, nestled in his arms, her face full of allure. Seeing that Yang Guang was not in high spirits, she couldn't help but ask in a coquettish voice, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"Is it that these palace maids don't suit His Majesty's tastes?"

So many stories have unfolded in this West Garden.

This was the first time Yang Guang had ever shown such an expression.

Upon hearing this, Yang Guang smiled slightly, took a sip of wine, and then burst into laughter.

Under Empress Xiao's astonished gaze.

He suddenly spoke again, stroking his long beard, and murmured, "What a fine head, who can take it?"

Although he spoke very softly.

But how could Empress Xiao, nestled in his arms, not hear him? Her expression suddenly changed, and she quickly got up to kneel down.

"No need!"

However, Yang Guang interrupted her directly.

He beckoned to her, pulled her closer to his embrace, and, seeing Empress Xiao's astonished expression, smiled and said, "What do matters of state have to do with you?"

He took another sip of wine, and suddenly his poetic inspiration struck. Looking at the scene of singing and dancing before him, he laughed loudly: "The shadow of the jade branch is shattered by the nine-layered lanterns, and the sound of the dance breaking through the rainbow is this."

"The dragon boat has already sunk into the night mist, yet the brocade ropes are still tied to the spring breeze."

"The poem was completed and suddenly splashed with cinnabar characters, half of them turning into frost flowers and half into beacon fires."

Empress Xiao kept a close eye on Yang Guang.

At this moment, Yang Guang gradually recovered and burst into laughter: "I am not those useless fools of the Southern Dynasty!"

"My Great Sui Dynasty—"

"This empire wasn't built by lying down!"

His ambition was rekindled!

They're just a few rebels, what can they do to them?

War is raging across the land!

With the Gu family's intervention, the situation across the land has become completely out of control.

Yang Guang no longer had the mind to target the Gu family.

He must quell the rebellion!

If this trend cannot be completely suppressed, then the world of the Great Sui Dynasty will probably never be at peace again!

Yang Guang stood up again.

He even vaguely sensed the feeling of being the Prince of Jin in the past as he led his army into battle once again.

But what can be done about it?

As the saying goes, "a single hair can move the whole body," and given the current situation where war rages across the land.

It was impossible for Yang Guang to launch a swift and decisive attack on Party B.

Although the four powerful figures all harbored ulterior motives.

But as long as Yang Guang remained in power, he was their common enemy!

They will do everything in their power to completely defeat Yang Guang!

The whole world was engulfed in bloodshed.

Someone has indeed come looking for the Gu family!
In fact, as the powerful figures of the world saw the world reach this point in such a short time, they already had some guesses in their hearts.

Ask yourself, in the entire world, only the Gu family could take such a ruthless step against the imperial court from every angle!
But this is just speculation.

They went to find the Gu family in order to gain their support!
That's the current situation. Whenever the world is in chaos, the Gu family's influence rises!
If we can gain the support of the Gu family.

That would be a tremendous help to all of them!
But Gu Yu never made any choice.

He consistently maintained the same attitude towards the various feudal lords.

As the head of the Gu family, every choice he makes concerns the rise and fall of the entire family, leaving him no choice but to be cautious.

The situation is becoming increasingly volatile.

Although Yang Guang had already focused his attention on the domestic affairs.

However, the current domestic situation is making the situation of the entire Sui court increasingly difficult.

The most critical issue is the unstable morale of the troops!

Yang Guang's temper had been fully formed.

Once a person gets used to spending money lavishly, it's impossible for them to go back to a frugal lifestyle.

Yang Guang is a prime example of this.

He had become accustomed to the feeling of being in control and could no longer return to the state of the Prince of Jin who had endured everything in order to compete for the position of crown prince.

He would kill generals to vent his anger should the situation not go his way.

This caused the entire Sui army, from top to bottom, to live in fear day and night, making it impossible for them to do their best to quell the rebellion.

The entire Sui Dynasty declined rapidly in a short period of time.

The fall of a nation —

These two words, which are both familiar and strange, have appeared in everyone's mind without them even realizing it.

In just a few short years.

The entire Sui Dynasty was thus brought to a point where it had nowhere left to retreat.

Taiyuan.

Li Yuan has had a very difficult time these past few years.

Since Yang Guang ascended the throne, his life has never been peaceful.

Yang Guang was not at ease with him.

If it weren't for a series of self-deprecating tactics and the circumstances that led to this, Li Yuan might not have been able to hold power even today.

Even so, Yang Guang continued to send people to monitor Li Yuan.

This made Li Yuan very uneasy.

The situation in recent years, in particular, has made him feel anxious.

He was a relative of Yang Guang.

Given the current situation, regardless of whether Yang Guang succeeds in suppressing the rebellion, he feels he has no way out.

It seems he only has one way out.

Then he can only fight for it himself, and many people have already advised him against it.

But Li Yuan never managed to take that step.

However, Li Yuan was also making a series of preparations, having his eldest son Li Jiancheng make friends with talented people, while at the same time he was constantly recruiting soldiers and accepting the surrender of rebels under the pretext of suppressing the rebellion.

This gave many people the opportunity to overthink things.

However, Li Yuan does indeed need an ally!
Either push him to the brink, or instill in him a strong sense of confidence!

That's the only way.

Perhaps only Li Yuan can truly take that step!
At this time, in Jinyang.

Li Shimin, clad in full armor, strode into the government office. Pei Ji, the deputy supervisor of Jinyang Palace, first bowed respectfully, then asked, "Lord Pei, what about my father?"

"Ugh."

Pei Ji sighed deeply and shook his head before Li Shimin could finish speaking.

He naturally knew what Li Shimin wanted to ask.

Just a few days ago, Li Shimin found him, and the two talked about helping Li Yuan take this step.

He was one of Li Yuan's most trusted confidants.

Pei Ji still held considerable influence with Li Yuan.

But it’s a pity——

Perhaps it was precisely because this matter was so crucial that even when Pei Ji advised Li Yuan, he didn't say much.

Seeing this, a look of helplessness flashed across Li Shimin's face.

Although he was only sixteen years old, he was still very young, but he was full of vigor.

these years.

Li Shimin had already made some contributions.

He is no longer the child in swaddling clothes; he has gradually become a very sharp sword.

Unlike the original history, as Li Shimin grew older, Gu Yi also paid close attention to him.

Li Shimin greatly admired Gu Chen.

And they are greatly influenced by it.

The current chaotic world is a blessing in disguise for Li Shimin, giving him the opportunity to emulate Gu Chen in conquering the entire country!

His desire to push Li Yuan to start a rebellion also stemmed from his understanding of the current state of affairs.

The Sui Dynasty was destined to perish.

This was a judgment that Li Shimin was very certain of.

Yang Guang had thoroughly aroused the anger of the entire nation, and coupled with the rumors circulating from all sides, it was impossible for him to continue as emperor.

Even if we quell the rebellion now, it will only be a last-ditch effort.

As a relative of Yang Guang.

If they do not rise up, and the country changes hands in the future, the Li family is destined to meet a tragic end.

He believed that Li Yuan could also see through all of this.

But for some reason, Li Yuan was unwilling to take that step.

The flickering candlelight cast the shadows of the two figures inside the tent in shifting light and shadow.

Pei Ji's eyes flickered slightly, as if a flash of inspiration had struck him, and he suddenly broke the silence: "Young Master, I have another plan."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes lit up. He clasped his hands together, bowed deeply to Pei Ji, and said earnestly, "Lord Pei, your wisdom and insight are truly remarkable; I hope you will not hesitate to offer your guidance!"

Pei Ji did not rush to speak, but slowly walked to Li Shimin's side.

He lowered his body and whispered a few words in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them.

Before he could finish speaking, Li Shimin's face instantly turned cold and stern. After a long silence, he slowly shook his head: "This matter requires careful consideration."

"This..." Pei Ji's expression faltered slightly, his eyes filled with confusion. "What does Young Master mean?"

Li Shimin stared at the flickering candlelight on the table, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly as if he were carefully choosing his words: "If we could get the Gu family's assistance, does Lord Pei think Father would be more determined to raise the banner of righteousness?"

"The Gu family?!" Pei Ji's expression changed drastically.

He lowered his gaze to his clasped hands, his fingertips unconsciously tracing the lines on his palms: "Young master, you may not know, but the Gu family has been in seclusion for many years. And regarding the matter of Gu Zhe back then..."

Before the words were even finished, the meaning was already self-evident.

As a cousin of Yang Guang, Li Yuan had old grudges against the Gu family and had no leverage to sway them, so how could this matter be easy?

Moreover, compared to other warlords in the land, what advantages does Li Yuan currently possess that would make the Gu family willing to help him?

Li Shimin took a deep breath, his robe sleeve brushing against the table, causing the bamboo slips on the table to tremble slightly: "Lord Pei, as the saying goes, those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles."

"If we can get Father to take this crucial step, then even the greatest difficulties and dangers are nothing to fear!"

Pei Ji was deeply shaken upon hearing this, finally understanding the resolute determination in the boy's eyes—

He was planning to use the Gu family's name to set up a scheme to instigate Li Yuan's uprising!
This is absolutely feasible.

In the current situation, having the support of the Gu family is absolutely crucial.

But there will definitely be a price to pay for doing this.

Why is it that no powerful figure in the world today would use the name of the Gu family?
Because there will always be a price to pay for doing this, and if we are not careful, we will push the Gu family further and further away, and the chain reaction caused by this move is unimaginable.

Pei Ji's expression was very serious as he carefully considered the gains and losses involved.

But Li Shimin seemed to have already made his decision, looking earnestly at Pei Ji and saying, "If my Li family can bring peace and prosperity to the world, why would a family like the Gu family harbor any ill will towards my Li family?"

Li Shimin's tone was exceptionally firm, and his resolute face was full of ambition.

In fact, he had always wanted to befriend the Gu family.

Whether it's for what Gu Chen left behind, or for the sake of the whole world.

Li Shimin harbored boundless ambition.

He had already set a goal for himself: to recreate Gu Chen's feat from years past.

May the messengers of the ten directions reappear in the world.

Slaughter until this chaotic world is restored to peace; slaughter until no one in the world dares to claim supremacy again!
