I Can Control My Ancestors

This matter’s implications are unprecedented.

Its influence extends far beyond the present era.

——The key lies in the future of the entire Gu Clan, and even the fate of all Kyushu.

As the dust settles, Gu Yi has no choice but to have Gu Xuan devote himself entirely to this, free from trivial disturbances.

In the eyes of the ministers, this naturally became a signal of authority relinquishment.

Regarding this——

Both the ministers and Emperor Li Yu himself had actually anticipated it.

After all, the descendants of the Gu Clan have always been like this.

Whenever a major affair concerning the world is completed, as the situation gradually stabilizes, they quietly relinquish their power, with no lingering attachment.

Now Gu Xuan follows this old example, why not?

However, Li Yu is quite unwilling about this.

He seems to genuinely regard Gu Xuan as a mentor, with no official title, yet no less respectful.

Seeing Gu Xuan relinquishing power, he refused repeatedly to no avail, resulting in his feigning illness just to retain Gu Xuan’s continued control of the court.

To this, Gu Xuan’s response was equally straightforward and powerful:

"Even a young eagle has its day to soar high, let alone a monarch?"

Looking at Gu Xuan’s striking white hair, Li Yu, despite much reluctance, could no longer insist.

Ultimately, he could only take over the heavy burden handed back by Gu Xuan, shouldering the empire of the Great Tang.

....

Time passes swiftly, and seasons change.

Julu.

Gu Xuan did not participate in the construction of Gu’s Academy, as with the current prestige of the Gu Clan and Li Yu’s approval, such a minor matter naturally does not require Gu Xuan’s personal effort.

Although the current Gu Clan’s descendants have some deficiencies in their talents.

They manage these matters quite effortlessly.

With the support of Yunshao Pavilion, the name of this "Gu Academy" spread widely.

Especially coupled with numerous rumors in the world today, claiming that Gu Xuan’s relinquishment this time is to pass down his skills in the "Gu Academy," which undoubtedly attracts more attention from scholars across the land.

Countless scholars hurriedly come from various places, wanting to personally explore the key within.

And precisely because of this.

The name of Gu Academy spread rapidly throughout all of Kyushu and continued to spread far and wide.

It is worth mentioning that——

During this time, Gu Yi has already devised a detailed plan for this.

Julu Gu Academy is naturally the core of it.

And among the academies across the land, only the most outstanding students could be guided by the Gu Clan to this place.

The prerequisite set by Gu Yi is not just their ability to integrate Kyushu’s culture.

The key remains their "unique" thinking.

For this reason, Gu Yi has also established a series of fundamental tests to discern the talents among them.

This naturally cannot be perfect.

However, Gu Yi does not have many worries; once this endeavor concludes, he will consistently watch over the students in various Gu Academies across the land.

If indeed, any extraordinary talents emerge, he will surely take action.

——In the world, disturbances are constant.

Although Gu Academy’s offerings to the public do not differ much from ordinary ones, under various rumors, countless students are still unwilling to leave, always believing that there must be something extraordinary within.

This naturally is also due to Gu Yi’s subtle influence.

Since Gu Xuan’s relinquishment, he lives a secluded life, even if occasionally appearing, Gu Yi orchestrates for him to plainly declare——he is writing books for the academy.

Such words naturally provoke more speculation and rumors.

Students flock to it, which is indeed reasonable.

This is not something Gu Yi deliberately pursued.

Gu Xuan indeed is writing books.

Aside from him, no one can do it.

No, even Gu Xuan himself cannot.

For the people of today, this already touches upon the "unknown" realm, even for Gu Xuan, requiring Gu Yi to oversee and control everything from behind, relying on his insight to compose texts vastly different from those of the present age.

It is noteworthy that Gu Yi did not delve into any profound or esoteric knowledge within this.

For example, the opening sentence bluntly questions: "Do you know what force is?"

Without extravagant embellishment, only a direct inquiry.

Followed by—seemingly ordinary yet thought-provoking questions.

"Why do static objects remain still, but a gentle breeze can cause them to sway?"

"Why does gently touching a blade not cause injury, while a strong swing can break armor and kill enemies?"

"Why do fallen leaves ultimately return to dust?"

"..."

These questions, perhaps very simple today, were exceptionally effective paths for readers to open up new vistas of understanding back then.

The land of Kyushu has never lacked intelligent individuals.

As long as someone begins to ponder these mysteries, the effect Gu Yi hopes will inevitably be achieved.

He needs Kyushu’s talents to gradually walk through this path, only then can it be considered a genuine success.

....

Time fleetingly passes away.

Even if no one can gain anything in Gu Academy, it cannot stop the students’ frenzy.

Rather——

The rumors about Gu Academy in the world indeed grow more intense because Gu Xuan once specifically dispatched people to deliver many books.

And also openly released a statement.

——Only the most outstanding talents are worthy of viewing.

Although Gu Yi doesn’t understand other things, he does know a bit about publicity.

He understands deeply that only by ensuring Gu Academy’s influence remains magnetic and enduring, continually attracting outstanding talents from everywhere, can they maximize the recruitment of capable people and avoid the regret of missing hidden talents.

This is the grand strategy of the Gu Clan for the ages, also the lynchpin of Kyushu’s future.

How could Gu Yi allow any margin for error?

These progressively strategic measures are like an invisible hand, continuously fostering gossip and rumors, driving students wild with frenzy.
