The late Emperor wanted to make peace with the State of Yue, but he did not issue a decree to reinforce Yangzhou for a long time. Gu Ce tried his best to hold on for three months, but in the end, he was forced to open the city gate to the State of Yue…
However, the Yue people did not believe him and killed Gu Ce.
When the late Emperor heard that Gu Ce had lost to the enemy, he was furious and almost took away the title of Marquis of Dingyuan. However, because Gu Ce's daughter, Gu Yunrong, saved Kang Wang in the chaos in Yangzhou when she was six years old, she made up for Gu Ce's mistake.
The late Emperor thought about it, and in the end, he bypassed Gu Ce's eldest son, Gu Yuan, and passed the title of Marquis of Dingyuan to Gu Jian.
Thinking of these past events, Imperial Duke Wei sighed in his heart. "This shouldn't have happened…"
