I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 293 - 11: Zhuge Liang’s Passing, Gu Ye’s Rising Momentum

Chapter 293: Chapter 11: Zhuge Liang’s Passing, Gu Ye’s Rising Momentum

Although Gu Ye had previously reformed disaster relief.

Everyone instinctively believed... Zhuge Liang must have provided assistance and guidance.

But this time is different!

Zhuge Liang and the seventh generation disciples of the Gu Clan were all outside!

Although it was not witnessed firsthand, this explained a lot!

Gu Ye’s name immediately resounded throughout Luoyang.

Of course, such matters would not be easily decided upon directly.

Over the years, although Liu Shan had grown somewhat, he would not make a decision by himself, and thus immediately sent the matter to Yan Province. ...

...

Yan Province.

Zhuge Liang’s illness was worsening.

A strong sense of weakness tormented Zhuge Liang constantly, leaving him without the strength to even get up.

The most critical issue was—

To avoid contagion, Zhuge Liang forbade others from seeing him. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Only one servant, willing to accompany him to death, looked after him at all times.

Even at this point, he still focused on the current situation, passing on updates on disaster relief through others.

"Chancellor...."

After once again speaking about the disaster relief, looking at the dying Zhuge Liang on the bed, the servant’s face was full of sorrow, and he immediately knelt down: "Let’s return to Luoyang."

His face was full of sorrow, with tears continuously falling.

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were red, and his whole condition was extremely poor, as if he could fall apart at any moment.

"Return to Luoyang?"

Zhuge Liang murmured softly, then shook his head slightly: "I can’t go back."

At this instant, he suddenly remembered a scene from when he met Gu Chen.

He hadn’t expected that, after so many years.

He would utter the exact same words as Gu Chen.

"Chancellor...." The servant’s face was even more sorrowful, seemingly wanting to persuade further.

But Zhuge Liang directly interrupted him, weakly instructing: "Warn them, they must make all preparations, and under no circumstances should the disaster victims go hungry."

"Pay attention to the repair of the reservoirs... and also to the isolation of the sick...."

This was almost among the details Zhuge Liang emphasized daily.

But before he finished speaking.

Just then, an urgent sound of footsteps suddenly approached and stopped outside the tent.

"Chancellor, urgent report from Luoyang!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang’s expression instantly changed, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes: "Has something happened in Luoyang?"

The servant dared not hesitate, quickly got up and asked at the entrance of the camp: "What is the matter?"

The soldier outside did not say much, only handed in the memorial.

The servant consciously took the memorial and walked to Zhuge Liang, opened it, and read it aloud.

"The current system for selecting officials is excessively complicated....."

"This one suggests establishing separate categories for Talented Scholars; Classics Scholars; Scholars of the Realm; and Temporary Special Categories."

"The Talented Scholars category should focus on current affairs and classical theories;"

"The Classics Scholars category should focus on Confucian classics, emphasizing memorization and annotations;"

"The Scholars of the Realm category should focus on governance strategies....."

The servant carefully read the contents of the memorial.

Initially, Zhuge Liang’s expression was rather tense, but as he listened, his expression completely changed!

His whole demeanor suddenly became serious.

As he listened to the specific content, he pondered its feasibility!

In essence, Gu Yi’s reform was to specifically categorize the Great Han’s complicated subjects, making the entire system somewhat simpler.

Zhuge Liang’s expression grew increasingly serious.

When the servant just finished reading and looked at Zhuge Liang, he was suddenly taken aback!

Zhuge Liang’s face even had a slight flush.

His expression changed instantly, instinctively thinking this might be a brief recovery before death, and tears welled up once more.

But in the next moment, Zhuge Liang’s voice unexpectedly rang out.

"Heaven does not forsake my Great Han!"

This voice was extraordinarily powerful, unlike something Zhuge Liang in his current state could say.

"Chancellor——"

The servant was completely stunned, even his voice trembled.

But Zhuge Liang did not give him a chance to ask questions, looking at him with bright eyes, he quickly said: "Quick! Write for me, quickly!"

Seeing the anxious Zhuge Liang before him.

The servant dared not hesitate, quickly went to the side to pick up a pen.

Zhuge Liang dictated while reading the memorial, having the servant record.

He greatly praised the reform strategy and offered absolute support!

Zhuge Liang understood Liu Shan too well.

Faced with such important matters, if he did not give absolute support, Liu Shan would certainly hesitate.

This memorial was sent to Luoyang that very day.

And whether it was psychological or not, from that day on, Zhuge Liang’s health suddenly improved a lot.

Additionally, with the help of numerous imperial physicians.

Zhuge Liang’s overall condition visibly improved.

When he could stand up once again, Zhuge Liang dismissed everyone’s suggestion for him to rest well and returned to the front lines of disaster relief.

At the same time, after receiving Zhuge Liang’s memorial.

Liu Shan finally settled the matter.

The most crucial point—

He furthermore heeded Zhuge Liang’s intention, entrusted the entire matter to Gu Ye, and officially allowed Gu Ye to enter the Great Han’s government scene.

The news spread, and the entire court was shaken!

Although this reform was proposed by Gu Ye.

Gu Ye was still too young.

To entrust such an important reform to Gu Ye, how could it not be alarming?

Immediately, many ministers successively submitted memorials to dissuade.

These people certainly were not targeting the Gu Clan.

As long as Liu Shan lived.

The position of the Gu Clan in the court could not be shaken by anyone.

They were truly worried Gu Ye might mess up this matter, for the official assessment was one of the core systems of the Great Han.
