I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 311 - 16: The Death of Liu Shan, Kyushu Stirs

Chapter 311: Chapter 16: The Death of Liu Shan, Kyushu Stirs

——The situation suddenly changed!

The world, which had been quite calm, instantly surged with turmoil.

Regarding this news.

The common people instinctively thought it was pure fantasy.

How could the Han Army lose to the Barbarians?

Years of strength had caused too many people to lose their original sense of awe.

Not to mention the people across other states and counties of the world.

Even the people of Youzhou State had a fundamentally different attitude toward the Barbarians compared to the past.

But the situation did not stop there.

Faced with frequent natural disasters, the Xiongnu and other Barbarians gradually developed different intentions.

But they were different from the Xianbei and Wuhuan.

They first presented their demands to the Great Han, wanting the Han to help them get through the current natural disasters.

In simple terms, it meant improving their treatment.

They needed land and food.

The continuous natural disasters finally broke the balance of the past decades.

Such demands were hardly different from a declaration of war for the Great Han.

Neither the ministers of the court nor the people of the Great Han could agree to such demands.

After all, when the Great Han faced natural disasters, these Barbarians did not help the Han.

Moreover—

How long has it been since the Great Han just got through the natural disaster?

Even though Gu Yi reformed production tools once again, greatly improving the productivity of the Great Han.

The fundamental reason for the weakness of the Great Han was the decline in population!

Moreover, raising the attitude towards the Barbarians again would definitely cause the people of the Great Han to lean towards the Barbarians. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

This is a burden that the Great Han cannot bear!

Although among these Barbarians, some tribes were closer to the Great Han.

But these people were ultimately just a minority.

As the situation dictated—

This war, though delayed, was inevitable!

Gu Yi originally intended to leave Luoyang directly for Youzhou State.

But perhaps it was truly fate.

Under such circumstances, Liu Shan’s health unexpectedly had problems again.

This caused even more unrest in the already somewhat anxious court.

Problems arose once more.

In this situation, Gu Yi simply could not leave Luoyang.

With no other choice, he could only first send Wen Yang to Youzhou State to stabilize the current situation there.

....

Liu Shan’s health indeed had problems.

Reality is often like this.

——People often lose some things when they gain others.

This might be the fundamental reason why Liu Shan was like this.

Although he was spared the worries caused by the shifting political landscape in history.

Compared to the original history, Liu Shan was more indulgent in pleasures.

His weight far exceeded that of a normal person.

Even by modern standards, it would be considered an unhealthy weight.

Under such circumstances, his health problems were indeed foreseeable.

But for the current Great Han, this was definitely not good news.

North Palace.

The atmosphere in the entire North Palace was extremely heavy.

Gu Ye, Zhang Hua, Liu Chen, and others stood in the hall, looking at Liu Shan on the bed, everyone filled with worry on their faces.

Once the Imperial Physician finished examining Liu Shan, he slowly walked out.

Liu Chen hurriedly went forward and urgently asked, "Sir... My father’s health."

"Your Highness."

The Imperial Physician did not hesitate at all and directly knelt down, his face full of sorrow: "His Majesty’s pulse is weak, and it’s feared that he only has days left."

In an instant, Liu Chen’s body shuddered violently.

He instinctively grabbed the arm of the Imperial Physician, hoping that he could quickly save Liu Shan.

But what could the Imperial Physicians do in such circumstances?

Liu Shan was no longer young.

His age and health had both reached a limit.

Gu Yi’s expression was somewhat grim, never expecting such a change.

But faced with reality, he could only choose to accept it.

Without any hesitation.

Gu Yi immediately directed Gu Ye to look at Zhang Hua and seriously said, "Mao Xian, gather the ministers at once."

Zhang Hua’s expression was equally serious.

He first looked at Liu Chen, then nodded and walked out.

When the ministers were summoned by Zhang Hua to the North Palace, everyone had already guessed something, their faces immediately showing deep sorrow.

No one wished for anything to happen to Liu Shan!

Throughout ancient and modern times, Liu Shan could be considered the most lenient Emperor towards his ministers.

Serving under him involved no pressure at all.

How many people could only dream of such a benevolent Emperor?

But now...

This kind and benevolent Emperor seemed to be approaching his end.

How could they not be heartbroken?

Tears continuously fell from Liu Chen’s eyes. He still wanted the Imperial Physician to save Liu Shan, but the response was always the same.

Even though he unwillingly accepted it, he had to face reality.

Time slowly passed.

As dawn approached.

At this moment, Liu Shan finally woke up, and the first thing he saw was Liu Chen and Gu Ye standing by his side.

Seeing the overwhelming sadness on their faces, Liu Shan was slightly taken aback and then realized his condition, surprisingly letting out a soft laugh and asking:

"Am I reaching my end?"

"Father!" Liu Chen’s face was full of grief, and his voice was choked with sobs as he hastily spoke, "I will summon the Imperial Physician immediately. Father, with your great fortune, you will certainly be safe and healthy for a long life!"

After saying that, he turned to call the Imperial Physician loudly.

But Liu Shan raised his hand slightly, gently stopping him, his voice weak but carrying unyielding determination: "No need, I understand my own condition."

At that moment, his expression was incredibly calm.

In fact, Liu Shan had always been afraid of death; even he didn’t think that when truly facing this life-and-death moment, he could be so composed.
