Has Imperial Preceptor Gu Been Gossiping Again Today?

Gu Yilü transmigrates.

The good news: He has become a top scholar with a mind full of knowledge.

The bad news: From the start, he's being taken to the execution ground, with just one incense stick's worth of time before his head falls.

The worse news: All he has is a gossip System.

It's over. I'm so screwed!

The gossip System offers its condolences: Host, have a good journey.

Gu Yilü: ...I think I can still do something to save myself!

Once the gossip System comes online, Gu Yilü starts pulling off all sorts of outrageous stunts:

"Lord Hu, how can you focus on overseeing an execution right now? Your grandson beat up your son, and your daughter is fighting your concubine over a hair ribbon. Oh, and the two of them are fighting over your nephew!"

"Lord Sun, don't you want to know what happened to the money in your storeroom? Why don't you have all the servants working there try drinking a couple of mouthfuls of lard?"

Just two short remarks leave everyone around the execution ground stunned.

The entire capital gets a mouthful of shocking gossip!

Gu Yilü begins a life of using the gossip System to put on a show of supernatural powers.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice have spent half a month tearing their hair out over a stolen military supply case without finding a thing. He makes a quick calculation and knows who's behind it.

Spies go to great lengths to infiltrate and stir up trouble, driving several princes and court officials into endless infighting. With a casual wave of his hand, he wipes out every spy the enemy nation planted!

The emperor is so thrilled that he grabs Gu Yilü's hand. "Master Gu, you're truly divine!"

Gu Yilü: Don't mention it.

Gu Yilü originally only planned to use the gossip System to stay alive and earn a living. He never expected that, somewhere along the way, he'd become the supreme State Preceptor of the Great Qing.

Theme: The laws of Heaven are clear, and retribution never fails.
