Mount Tai Fengchan;
For a dynasty, this is undoubtedly a matter of exceptional significance.
Are Liu Chen’s accomplishnts enough?
——Enough!
Although in recent years, it seems like all the work has been done by Gu Ye, while Liu Chen has remained in Luoyang.
This still does not diminish his achievents.
As an Emperor, he gave Gu Ye absolute trust, fully inheriting the consistent policies of Emperor Zhao Wu, Liu Bei, and Emperor Xiaoren, Liu Shan.
Moreover, do not forget that he is different from Liu Shan.
Even when he was at court, he never forgot the responsibilities of an Emperor.
Gu Yi’s epoch-defining policies could be perfectly implented thanks to his undeniable efforts.
The Great Han could once again usher in an era of prosperity.
This is not solely the achievent of Gu Ye but the combined effort of the entire court striving for this success.
If not now, then when can the Mount Tai Fengchan occur?
For the Gu Clan——
The current Mount Tai Fengchan holds even more extraordinary significance.
This would further instill in the people’s minds the notion that the Gu Clan represents a golden age.
This is the cornerstone of the Gu Clan’s everlasting legacy!
.....
The entire court beca bustling and busy over this event.
Gu Ye now need not overly involve himself in state affairs.
The court of the Great Han has established a comprehensive system that would ensure no errors in at least this generation.
But perhaps due to being sowhat idle, Gu Yi increasingly pondered the progress of Gu Han.
It has been a long ti since he last received any news.
The only thing Gu Yi knows is that Gu Han is still alive, but he is completely unaware of what he is doing or the current situation.
Days passed by quietly under such circumstances.
On the eve of Fengchan, the entire city of Luoyang was imrsed in a solemn and busy atmosphere.
Liu Chen and Gu Ye entered a state of purification, dressed in plain ceremonial robes, living in solitary chambers, abstaining from won, at, and wine, expressing their reverent awe towards the deities of heaven and earth.
anwhile, nurous Ritual Officers at court were extrely busy.
They repeatedly verified and rehearsed every procedure of the Fengchan ceremony, from the preparation of sacrificial items to the placent and movent routes, ensuring no errors at all.
As the news of the Emperor wanting to perform the Mount Tai Fengchan with the Gu Clan gradually spread.
This even more excited the entire world.
The Great Han was already flourishing.
Upon hearing this, the people would be even more spirited, more trusting in the court.
Countless essays and poems erged from all directions, singing the virtues of the court and the Gu Clan.
Innurable citizens ca from all over.
Eager to witness all of this.
It’s human nature to pursue faith after their basic material needs are t.
Finally, in the thirteenth year of Qianji, April.
Liu Chen and Gu Ye led all the officials from the court.
Headed straight to Mount Tai.
After many years, this majestic mountain once again welcod the sovereign of the present world.
The traces left by the ancients remain;
Ti has not erased everything they left behind, just like those ancestors who always live on in people’s hearts.
Liu Chen had the sacrificial platform built by the forr emperors of the Great Han restored.
And Gu Yi, just as in the past.
Had it all docunted, once again sealed with the unique Heirloom Seal of the Realm of Huaxia civilization.
Countless thoughts surged in his mind.
Different from others’ thoughts, while Gu Yi did not control everything throughout.
He is indeed a witness to all developnts over centuries.
Heroes; Dominators;
Wise rulers; Ignorant kings.
These varied personalities have painted the historical pictures of these centuries.
The Gu Clan has also grown from an obscure family to the towering presence it is today.
Generations of the family’s descendants pressed forward....
All the efforts and sacrifices made by each capable descendant.
All these scenes from the past flashed across his mind at this mont.
It is their efforts, step by step, that have earned the Gu Clan its present stature.’
Including Gu Yi’s growth.
In fact, Gu Yi once had a doubt, that if he continued witnessing like this.
After seeing so many lives and deaths, would he be burdened with the ennui of aging?
But at this mont——
Such thoughts vanished completely.
The efforts made by generations, only reinforced his resolve towards his goals.
——To ensure the continued glory of the Gu Clan.
In this glory, even to lead all of Kyushu.
The Gu Clan will persevere.
The generations who exerted countless efforts will also achieve eternal immortality with the Gu Clan.
Once the sacrificial platform was repaired, the Fengchan ceremony comnced as scheduled.
Even though Gu Ye strongly refused.
Liu Chen insisted on having him accompany him onto the sacrificial altar.
Presenting a reason that Gu Ye simply could not refuse, which was to ascend on behalf of Gu Chen.
One was a grandson of Liu Bei;
The other a grandson of Gu Chen.
This is, in so respects, a legacy, with both completing the monuntal task their ancestors could have done but lacked the ti to achieve.
This mont is destined to be passed down through the ages. ....
....
Luoyang.
Once all the splendor ended, what remained for everyone was to proceed with determination.
The Great Han cannot remain stagnant.
This is not only Liu Chen’s thought, but also the essence of Gu Yi’s perseverance.
The current system is beginning to take shape.
The complete implentation of this system will take far longer than before, and the Great Han must not encounter problems now.
In the fifteenth year of Qianji, the Great Han once again embraced the examination system.
Now, the examination system of the Great Han has fully stabilized, forming a comprehensive assessnt based on "Gu’s School," including "Arithtic," and examining practical knowledge.
