——Li Longji was ill.
A few words from Gu Xuan thoroughly tore apart all his dignities, exposing all his problems to the world.
He could not refute them.
Nor could he rebuke the Gu Clan anymore.
If someone else had said these words, he might have had the chance to accuse them of being "sycophants."
Even though this would be somewhat forced, at least on the surface, Li Longji might have been able to maintain his own dignity.
But this was the Gu Clan!
Holding the posthumous edict of the "Emperor for the Ages," Emperor Taizong!
Moreover, from any perspective, the Gu Clan had done no wrong.
First, it was Li Longji who abandoned the Gu Clan.
The Gu Clan showed no dissatisfaction towards this.
Secondly, when Li Heng ascended to the throne, it was the court officials who supported him, and the Gu Clan neither participated in this nor used Emperor Taizong's edict.
