Chapter Ninety-Three: The Emperor's Game

Seeing this, Guo Sheng also walked over, and the three of them hugged each other.

That night, the rest of the Guo Mansion also rushed over one after another, looking at this famous Xiangye, who was once above 10,000 people under one person, and everyone had to secretly weigh it when he said a word, but at this moment he was lying quietly on the bed, and everyone was speechless in their minds.

But the worst thing happened: the killer escaped.

As the eldest son, Guo Yue once had the idea of not letting Guo Wang be buried if he couldn't catch the murderer, but he also knew that this hope was very slim, and under the persuasion of the elders in the clan, he had to give up.

Because Guo Wangzhi had suffered a stroke earlier, his family had already sent someone to prepare a coffin for him in case of emergency.

Guo Yue hugged his father's body and asked Guo Jia with difficulty: "Sister, do you want to take out the half of the broken arrow?" ”

Before Guo Jia could speak, Guo Sheng took the lead in crying and shaking his head: "No, don't!" Daddy is going to hurt! ”

Guo Jia sighed: "Don't take it!" ”

So in the deep night, under the witness of the elders of the Guo family, Guo Wangzhi was moved by the family to the coffin of agarwood zuò, and a mourning hall was set up for friends from all over the world to mourn.

In the following days, the number of people who came to mourn gradually decreased, after all, Guo Mansion is now depressed, and besides, Guo Wangzhi was a person who was deposed by the saint before his death, if he provoked that unhappy, so he broke off his career, it would be worth the loss. Therefore, not many people are willing to come to this troubled water again, and those who come, very few are Guo Wangzhi's close friends, and most of them are looking at the face of the rest of the Guo family and come to ask for a favor.

The three Guo siblings did not complain about this, no matter who came, they all bowed one by one as a thank you to those who came to mourn.

It rained heavily for three days and three nights in Yongning City, and the water in the moat swelled, and the streets were full of water, so there was no dry place to be found.

And the Ningguo Mansion, which is not far away, is even more congregational, and even in the middle of the night, you can hear the woman's howling and crying.

The entire Yongning City was gloomy. The Holy Lord was sympathetic to Ning Guogong, not only spared him from his early dynasty, but also ordered someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, and sent a lot of things to the Ning Guogong Mansion. He also authorized the burial of the second son of Ning Guogong in the imperial mausoleum, and allowed to bury him with the specifications of the county king.

And in comparison, Guo Wangzhi's head is extremely cold. The emperor seems to have deliberately forgotten Guo Wangzhi, the minister of the humerus whom he once held very seriously.

Despite this, Liang Wang Weilan "committed a crime against the wind" and ordered someone to send a gift over. to show his reverence for the pillars of the former imperial court.

Some people who learned of this incident sighed: Although King Liang is loved by the saints, he can't act so willfully, for fear that it will make the emperor unhappy and make the emperor's grace dust!

But there are also some smart people who smell something different......

As these people thought, King Liang's move was instructed by the Holy Lord......

As early as the day after Guo Wangzhi was assassinated and the Ningguo Mansion caught fire, King Liang put aside other matters at hand and entered the palace early in the morning.

At that time, not long after the tragedy in the Ningguo Mansion, Ning Guogong entered the palace overnight, knelt outside the emperor's bedroom and cried. Asking the emperor to order a strict investigation of the matter, the emperor got up from the concubine's bed in the middle of the night and comforted Ning Guogong, who was crying bitterly, until the early hours of the morning, and barely stabilized Ning Guogong's feelings.

When King Liang entered the palace, it happened that the emperor had nowhere to vent his depression, but he was disturbed and couldn't sleep peacefully. As soon as the emperor saw King Liang, he immediately threw away the piles of twists and turns of the previous dynasty and dragged King Liang to play chess in the back garden.

King Liang's piano skills are good, but compared to the emperor. But it's always a little bit worse.

The emperor won three sets in a row, his heart was happy, and the gloom on his face also dispersed, and Gonggong Li next to him was also a person who could read colors. Taking advantage of the emperor's good mood, he said a few flattering words pleasantly, which made the emperor smile, and rewarded him with many good things in one sentence.

King Liang opened a new chess, he held the white zi, and told the emperor to go first.

The emperor smiled: "Your piano skills are not as good as mine. On the contrary, I want to take the first step, Lan'er is so confident? ”

King Liang said with a smile: "If you are surprised, maybe there will be an unexpected gain!" ”

The Emperor laughed: "I appreciate you for that!" Alas! It's a pity that the prince is always a little too conformist......"

King Liang didn't seem to hear the meaning of his words, and he followed the emperor's words and said: "It's always good to follow the rules and act according to the words of the sage." The crown prince is always meticulous in his actions, and his reputation among the people is also very high. ”

The emperor squinted his eyes and smiled, glanced at King Liang, and did not speak.

"Eat! Haha, tell you to play chess and not concentrate! "The emperor ate a large piece of white chess from King Liang and was in a good mood.

King Liang took a closer look and regretted: "It's still the emperor!" Lan'er is ashamed of herself! ”

"You, you still have a few more years to go through." The emperor said this slowly, and his subordinates did not stop at all, and a chess piece was dropped.

King Liang pondered for a moment, and suddenly the conversation changed:

"Last night was really not peaceful."

The emperor snorted and sighed: "Ning Guogong, I'm afraid that he will hurt his vitality a lot!" ”

King Liang paused for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that things are not simple. ”

"Oh?" The Emperor looked at him and asked, "Why?" ”

"There is one more thing, I don't know if the Holy One knows it......"

"Tell me about it."

"Former Prime Minister Guo Wangzhi was assassinated at home last night. When you die, your eyes are not blind! ”

The emperor's hand holding the chess piece trembled, and after a while, he dropped the chess piece and made a vague "hmm" in his mouth.

Seeing this, King Liang stopped talking, but just concentrated on playing chess.

The Emperor also stopped talking, and he frowned, as if it was difficult to decide on the next move.

Halfway through, the game was deadlocked.

The emperor suddenly lost his patience, he pushed his hand, put down the chess pieces in his hand heavily, and said irritably: "No more!" ”

King Liang took his hand in a playful manner, he took three steps back, knelt down and saluted the emperor: "Then, Lan'er will retreat first, the emperor was tired last night, please rest more!" ”

The emperor waved his hand: "Stand down!" ”

King Liang was about to leave, when the emperor suddenly spoke: "I heard that Guo Wangzhi ...... Only 3 children? ”

King Liang replied: "Back to the emperor, it is true!" ”

"What is the child's qualifications?"

"Back to the emperor, that kid has very good qualifications, not only is he smart and clever, but what is even more rare is that he is willing to work hard to study."

The emperor nodded, and then asked, "What is the name of the child?" ”

King Liang took a deep breath and replied: "Back to the emperor, that kid, a single name and a word!" (To be continued.) )
