Gu Quan was aware of Li Shimin’s ambition.

Especially after all of this had happened, this ambition would far surpass the past.

Although the matter of Xuanwu Gate had been suppressed by him, how could the thoughts in people’s hearts about this matter easily change? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Li Shimin had to create an unprecedented golden age to appease the doubts in people’s hearts.

It was precisely for this reason that Li Shimin seemed inexplicably anxious.

Gu Quan needed to help him distinguish between the important and the trivial.

Towards Gu Quan, Li Shimin naturally gave complete trust, which gradually eased his always tense mood and began calmly preparing for the journey ahead.

But even so, rebellion was still inevitable in the world.

This world would always have those fiercely loyal people and those with no retreat.

Unable to accept this outcome, they would naturally choose chaos.

But compared to Li Shimin, they were ultimately far too inferior.

Li Shimin never even left Chang’an.

He simply entrusted these matters to Gu Yu, and then the disturbances around gradually subsided.

The name of "Gu Quan" once again resonated across the realm under a different identity.

His face, which no one could recognize and made others shudder, unknowingly intensified the feeling of "prophetic superstition."

The entire world was spreading the word that Li Shimin had received aid from divine spirits, sent by heaven to support him as a military genius among others.

Even the ministers in the court were somewhat influenced.

They were not mere commoners.

They were quite clear about the events of Xuanwu Gate, knowing that this person performed great feats during the incident, and they were all very curious about this person’s identity.

But not to mention Li Shimin, even Yuchi Jingde and others were tight-lipped about this person, all claiming to be completely unaware.

Gu Yi had been quietly observing all of this, feeling a bit sour in his heart.

For the inheritance of the entire family, generations of descendants had ultimately paid too much.

Although Gu Quan had not received any rewards yet,

Gu Yi was very clear.

With Li Shimin’s character, such blessings would eventually return to the Gu Clan, bringing great benefits to them in secret.

Wasn’t this also something Gu Quan did for the family?

Not betraying his family; abiding by his own heart, he also paved a way for future generations of the Gu Clan.

Gu Yi’s emotions were inexplicably complex.

But after this complexity, seeing all the discussions about Gu Quan’s identity across the land, another thought suddenly emerged in his mind.

If Gu Quan continued like this—

Would Gu Quan’s identity become one of the "unsolved historical mysteries" in the future?

...

Meanwhile, in Shuofang.

The turmoil in Chang’an had not yet reached here, but Gu Yu seemed to have already made some judgments and had been preparing various responses to the Turkic threat.

Gu Yi naturally also kept an eye on Gu Yu.

Actually, the rise of the Turkic was not beyond his expectations.

As early as the years he controlled Gu Ye, he had anticipated this, but at that time, he could not completely solve everything for Kyushu.

Because the nomadic tribes across the entire land were simply too many.

He could only make arrangements for relatively strong tribes, and those tribes further from Kyushu and weaker were not even worth acting against.

The current level of productivity—was not enough for Gu Yi to engage in large-scale upheaval.

The now powerful Turkic, in the past, were merely a small tribe under the Xiongnu.

This is also a characteristic of nomadic peoples.

When a true figure of excellence appeared in a tribe, there would be a possibility of rising up.

Gu Yu did not intend to fight the Turkic to the death in this campaign, only to take precautions against the Turkic taking advantage of the situation to attack the Great Tang.

——The situation in the court had become completely uncontainable.

This was something he was very certain of.

And with the nature of the Turkic Khan, as soon as he heard of this situation, he would never let go of such a heaven-sent opportunity.

He was preparing for this.

The current Kyushu was too weak; since the harsh reign of the Yan Han Emperor, the entire world had never truly rested again.

Although Yang Jian unified the land and stabilized the situation in all directions, allowing Kyushu to welcome a brief period of recuperation, Yang Guang’s actions after his ascension undoubtedly pulled all of Kyushu back into the mire.

Even weaker than before.

——Kyushu needed recovery.

The core of this battle was to stop the Turkic from wanting to invade.

He had prepared thoroughly for this.

Along the entire border, trenches were dug, chevaux-de-frise were set up to target the Turkic’s mobilization.

Moreover, Gu Yu was also dividing the various Turkic tribes.

The name of the Gu Clan descendants was still extremely useful, although compared to the past descendants of the Gu Clan, Gu Yu was completely an unknown person now.

But under various legends,

Targeting some particularly small tribes also had great use.

Although Gu Yu’s military command ability was the weakest among all his attributes, under the effect of the Luoshu Harmonizing Device, his attributes were constantly changing.

Even though the adjustable attribute points were only ten.

But for Gu Yu, who had extremely high basic attributes, it was a very significant boost.

This was the terrifying effect of the Luoshu Harmonizing Device.

Ten attribute points allocation;

They could give any family descendant a qualitative leap in attributes, ensuring the lower limit of the family.
