I Can Control My Ancestors

Kaijing.

Actually, the various factions within Goryeo today are equally complicated.

Silla also suffered significant setbacks in the past, and its subsequent re-establishment under various circumstances already illustrates the complex factors involved.

In such a dynasty, it’s impossible to completely smooth over the interests between factions.

Including the attitude towards the Gu Clan.

——The status of the Gu Clan varies completely in different regions today.

The most crucial issue is their position in religion.

Indeed, the Gu Clan has long donned the cloak of religion.

This is something that cannot be entirely avoided throughout Kyushu.

What each generation has done.

Passed down orally, it inevitably leads to many different disturbances, coupled with the passing of a thousand years, it has been predestined.

Even Gu Yi has to admit.

Within the Kyushu today, especially among ordinary citizens, there are countless people who believe in the Gu Clan.

This is evident simply from the uninterrupted ceremonies at the Luoshui River over the years.

And this point is even more complex among all foreign races.

There are indeed too many titles concerning the Gu Clan.

There are those founded by various sects for Gu Chen in the past, as well as actions taken when Gu Yi controlled Gu Ye.

All of these have gradually sprouted over the course of time.

And when something involves religion.

Then it becomes complex.

Take the current Goryeo for example.

——Many people see the Gu Clan as a generational enemy, yet they dare not revolt, while many others believe in the ancestors of the Gu Clan, hoping for their protection.

Why does Wang Song act this way?

Actually, in Gu Yi’s view.

He is not only seeking more benefits for Goryeo but also acting as a king of Goryeo for political reasons.

He needs to maintain an absolute balance to keep the various forces within Goryeo stable.

Only in this way will the whole of Goryeo not split between the two great powers.

Indeed, this is the truth.

As a small country, Goryeo is constantly maneuvering between two great powers, which can indeed bring substantial benefits, but at the same time, it carries significant risks.

If any side truly becomes angered, it would immediately spell doom for Goryeo.

Goryeo’s existence today.

Is only because the contest between two great powers has not ended.

However, because of this, after years of being an envoy in Goryeo, Gu Ming is well aware of who is hostile to the Gu Clan and who is close to them.

Gu Yi even feels that Gu Ming might have already been prepared for this.

If not, he wouldn’t be so decisive in his actions.

The younger generation of the Gu Clan, born with the budding of new ideas.

Their actions and deeds are completely different from the previous Gu Clan descendants.

They are more decisive;

Less constrained.

...

On that very night, almost the entire Shuntian Hall was mobilized.

Just as Gu Ming expected.

Wang Song’s main target was only him, the chief envoy.

And perhaps to show those within the country who are friendly with the Gu Clan, he did not entirely blockade the Shuntian Hall.

This action appears quite foolish.

But in fact, it is not.

Wang Song is also leaving a way out for himself, not wanting to go too far and truly provoke the Great Song.

The current developments are entirely different from the original history.

Especially for the Great Song.

The Great Song’s navy can easily land in Liaodong.

And he could never have imagined that Gu Ming would be prepared in this regard.

Wang Song is indeed a capable ruler.

And this person obviously has a substantial understanding of Kyushu’s history; he even strengthened the Liao embassy’s defenses to prevent Gu Ming from emulating Ban Chao’s ancient actions.

But this undoubtedly gave Gu Ming an excellent opportunity.

Gu Ming was clearly well aware of this.

Why was he so decisive?

Clearly, he did not want to leave Wang Song any time to prepare.

Just like the night Emperor Taizong Li Shimin decided to rebel, mobilizing and connecting the pro-Gu forces from all sides.

For these people, Gu Ming did not hide anything.

——Money makes the world go round.

This is an unchanging truth throughout ancient and modern times.

Throughout history, true saints are few and far between, especially among foreign races.

When these people heard from Gu Ming’s own mouth the plan to kill Wang Song.

They were initially terrified, but then they sensed an unprecedented opportunity.

Who doesn’t want to rule and dominate?

Moreover, this involves gaining the support of the Gu Clan to become the king of a country!

This is a benefit no one can refuse.

Even though this action is extremely risky, when the benefits are substantial, rationality disappears into thin air.

...

The next day, Goryeo Royal Palace.

"Inform them quickly!"

"I must meet the King of Goryeo——"

Gu Ming’s gaze swept over the guards before him, his eyes as sharp as ever, refusing to retreat in the slightest.

"Why must the Song envoy make things difficult for us?"

"The King has already stated, please return to the Song Kingdom first, report to Lord Gu, and then send an envoy again."

"Why must the Song envoy be so unreasonable..."

Before the obstructing guard could finish speaking, with a "swish," Gu Ming drew the sharp blade from his waist, pointing it directly at the other’s throat: "This concerns the diplomatic relations between two nations, those who block me——die!"

Schwing, swish——

The sound of blades unsheathing echoed in response, as all the guards around raised their weapons almost simultaneously, cold glints all aimed at Gu Ming.
