I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 30 - 12: Earthshaking Upheaval, the Clans Strike Back (Part 3)

Chapter 30: Chapter 12: Earthshaking Upheaval, the Clans Strike Back (Part 3)
"Indeed."
Gu Yi nodded with great satisfaction, then asked again, "Do you think the great clans of the land will agree to divide the fields?"
"They won’t!" This time, Gu Kang answered without hesitation, "They definitely won’t agree."
"Why?" Gu Yi asked again.
Gu Kang immediately fell silent.
Although he was quite adept in this area, many issues were beyond the grasp of a seven-year-old child.
"Brother!"
At this moment, Gu Chen rushed in, his face full of tension.
Seeing his expression, Gu Yi immediately sensed something unusual.
With his heart suddenly tightening, he immediately controlled Gu Xiao to stare at him closely and asked:
"What has you so flustered?"
"Brother..." Gu Chen swallowed, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes, hesitating to speak.
"Speak!"
Gu Xiao shouted sharply.
He was never a gentle person, and under Gu Yi’s influence, anger was already rising in him.
Seeing the situation, Gu Chen’s body couldn’t stop trembling, and he dared not delay any further, hastily replying:
"The officials dividing the fields... have already arrived in Handan."
Clearly, he hadn’t finished speaking.
Seeing this, Gu Yi had already vaguely guessed a few things, and a surge of anger welled up in him.
Gu Xiao, affected immediately, slowly stood up, fixed his gaze on Gu Chen, and asked, "Zhan Yang."
"When I instructed you to come to Julu, did I not repeatedly remind you not to commit acts that harm the people, to avoid tarnishing the reputation of our Gu Clan?"
"Brother has said so." Gu Chen bowed his head, his body shaking even more violently, as if he might break down at any moment.
"Then let me ask you again, since you arrived in Hebei, have you ever..."
Gu Xiao hadn’t finished speaking.
Gu Chen could no longer bear the invisible pressure; suddenly, with a thud, he knelt on the ground, crying out, "Brother!"
"I haven’t done it!"
"It was all those officials and great clans in Hebei who gave these things to me!"
"They said at first that it was their own... yet recently I heard that these people are using my name to seize the people’s land."
"I never thought to do such a thing!"
The elder brother is like a father!
Not to mention that Gu Xiao is the founder of today’s prosperity for the Gu Clan; Gu Chen’s fear at this moment reached its peak.
Gu Yi had been watching all this coldly.
When he heard the words coming from Gu Chen’s mouth, he had already roughly guessed everything.
The Gu Clan was being used as a scapegoat!
Knowing this, Gu Xiao, being a favorite minister of the Emperor, and now stationed in Hebei...
With such an incident, how could these officials not first target Gu Chen?
But how dare these officials truly act against Gu Xiao’s own brother?
In a brief moment, Gu Yi understood the stakes involved, feeling increasingly helpless in his heart.
Despite all precautions, it still couldn’t be prevented!
After the unification of the land.
The first rule Gu Yi set was that no member of the Gu Clan could commit acts that harm the people.
This was crucial for the clan’s thousand-year legacy.
As long as this was maintained, over time, the people would gradually become a protective charm for the Gu Clan!
But now this...
Gu Yi silently controlled Gu Xiao and glanced at Gu Kang beside him.
The younger generation of the family is watching...
If this incident is let go, will it exacerbate problems the family may face in the future?
If a truly rebellious person emerges, will the entire family be destroyed by the fault of one?
In an instant, Gu Yi’s mind was filled with countless thoughts, and he immediately made a decision.
This matter must not be allowed to have any slip-ups.
Once a moral breach is opened, considering the power of the Gu Clan, Gu Yi can hardly imagine what kind of person might emerge in the future.
Too much had been overlooked before...
This thought suddenly emerged in Gu Yi’s mind.
Previously, Gu Yi had wanted to focus on ensuring family stability, thus securing more opportunities for himself to exert control.
But now he realized, this line of thinking was clearly flawed.
Even without exerting control, with the ability to control and yet so few family members, there were such unforeseen incidents.
When the family grows in the future, even if he could control every generation, can he really ensure continued prosperity?
The Gu Clan is not contending for one lifetime but for ten thousand generations!
No one knows what the future holds for the development and strength of the Gu Clan.
Not even Gu Yi.
Simply put, Gu Yi’s earlier thinking was a form of personal heroism, but this was fundamentally flawed.
To achieve the plan for a lasting and glorious legacy of the Gu Clan, one person’s strength is insufficient!
It’s essential to impose restrictions on the Gu Clan’s descendants!
At the very least, ensure no one emerges from the Gu Clan who incites universal outrage!
———Establish family rules!
To establish rules for all Gu Clan descendants to follow!....
