After this assassination turmoil, when Sun Ning officially came to the so-called "palace", the sky was already dark, but the Liangzhou military horses guarding the surrounding arches had more than doubled.

This is located in Liangzhou Taishou Mansion is just across the street, said to be a palace, but in fact it is a garden in the city.

Sun Ning looked from the car window and could see that the stone tablet still remaining at the gate was engraved with the word "Liang Yuan".

Although this garden is far from being able to compare with the real palace or even the palace in terms of overall environment and style, it is also one of the best buildings in Liangzhou City, not only covering an extremely wide area, more than ten acres, but also more palaces and pavilions are scattered and arranged, which is enough for the emperor to use for daily government affairs.

Moreover, this garden has been divided into two parts, and it is intended to be the difference between the inner and outer courts, obviously for this reason, Guo Yan and other Liangzhou officials have indeed put a lot of thought into this and made arrangements.

However, after Sun Ning saw these full preparations, what he thought of was another layer - obviously, Guo Yan had already prepared.

I am afraid that the re-arrangement of this kind of garden will not be possible in two or three months. He was already fighting the emperor's idea when the news of the fall of Luoyang came.

However, it was naturally impossible for Sun Ning to really say these thoughts in front of people, and after being accompanied by all the officials into the spacious hall that was used as the main hall, he bowed his hand to Guo Yan and them with a sincere face: "You really have a heart." ”

"Your Majesty, this is a shame for the ministers to wait." Seeing this, everyone below Guo Yan bowed down in a panic, looking sincerely frightened.

Sun Ning held Guo Taishou in front of him: "What I said is true."

"To tell you the truth, on the way to Liangzhou, I was still worried about the inconvenience here, and now I know that you are really doing your best, and you really deserve to be my loyal minister of Dayue, I am very relieved."

"Your Majesty has praised it falsely, and the ministers are ashamed! It's just a slight change to this Liang Garden, and it won't cost a lot of money. ”

"It's not about money, it's about your heart." Sun Ning said with a smile, "And the performance of the sudden assassination of you just now, I also saw it all." If it weren't for all of you forgetting to die and doing your best to rescue me, I'm afraid I would have died under the assassin's knife. ”

Sun Ning's words obviously put some gold on Guo Yan's face, what was the situation before, everyone was a witness. It's not an exaggeration to say that the emperor survived by luck.

So even Guo Yan's face was red, and he immediately bowed down again: "Your Majesty was assassinated by an assassin, and the minister is really guilty, and I ask Your Majesty to issue a decree to punish him!" ”

"We are deeply responsible, and please punish Your Majesty!" The others also knelt on the ground.

This seems to be admitting guilt and accepting punishment, but in fact, there is a kind of coercion to make the emperor officially state that he will not be investigated.

Sun Ning naturally understood this routine, and hurriedly stepped forward and helped the person up: "Guo Taishou is too serious for you, I have already said that you are not to blame for this matter just now, how can you be punished again?"

"Jun Wu joked, are you doubting my sincerity?"

"No...... Don't dare, the minister is just scared and ashamed in his heart......"

"Let the past pass, and everyone should get up." Sun Ning waved his hand again.

Then I saw that the Liangzhou officials in front of me did not move, and still knelt on the ground, as if they had not heard his words.

Until Guo Yan turned around and coughed lowly: "Since Your Majesty said that you will not be held accountable, you should all get up." ”

Only then did they say yes and stand up.

Just this time, a signal has been passed to Sun Ning - although you are nominally the Emperor of Dayue and the king of everyone here, the real power is only Guo Taishou who can make the officials of this city obey the order.

Obviously, after the false trap of taking over and assassinating, some more important things have come to the surface.

Sun Ning's expression changed slightly, but then he smiled again: "Then I can rest assured." ”

"Your Majesty's compassion for the ministers and others is really touching and self-reproachful." Guo Yan said, and looked at the subordinates below, "Although Your Majesty doesn't blame, I still have to hold you responsible."

"Where is Guo Han?"

As he suddenly called his name, a young soldier with a strong back came out of the crowd: "My son is here!" ”

This is Guo Yan's second son, just looking at his appearance, he is extremely similar to his father and brother, but compared with Guo Chong, he is more heroic, and his brother is a little more gentlemanly.

"Are you in charge of the city's defense and security affairs today?" Guo Yan only asked blandly, as if he was asking an ordinary subordinate instead of his own son.

"Exactly." Guo Han didn't have the slightest shirk, so he admitted.

"Then why did such an assassination happen? How could those assassins set such a trap right under your nose and almost let Your Majesty ...... It has also caused countless deaths and injuries to soldiers! Say, "What sin are you to blame?" ”

"The child is guilty, and everything is left to the father!"

Guo Han is also a bachelor enough, and at this time, without the slightest excuse, he immediately knelt on the ground and bowed his head, looking like he confessed his guilt.

"Hmph, how can you spare such a big mistake? Jiang Tuiguan, you say, what should you ask about the crime of such a mistake in the city defense? Also, what is the crime of causing His Majesty to be assassinated and the dragon's body damaged? How to deal with the two crimes combined? Guo Yanhu made a face and asked stiffly.

Jiang Tuiguan, who was pointed, was an important member of the Liangzhou Prison, and he knew the laws of Dayue and the law and discipline in the army.

In the past, he was also iron-faced and selfless, even if officials made mistakes, they would also be dealt with strictly, and they would never show favoritism.

But this time, he was obviously hesitant: "What about this...... If the punishment for two crimes is combined, the crime is not light. But after all, the major general was only overlooked for a while, and was taken advantage of by thieves......"

"I don't have to defend him, I just ask you, what is his guilt?" Guo Yan didn't want to hear too much, so he immediately asked again.

Jiang Tuiguan could only answer honestly: "The loss of the city defense is already a serious crime, and it should be dismissed and re-handled according to the law, and he will be punished with a hundred military sticks to set an example." If you add to that the sin of frightening Your Majesty, it is a sin of the first degree, and it should be ...... It should be beheaded! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed their faces in unison, and then everyone shouted urgently: "Taishou Lord think twice......"

"Yes, the young general, he is only a momentary negligence, and he is not guilty of such a crime......"

"That's just a traitor and cunning, the major general has done everything......"

"Shut up, whoever dares to intercede for him again will be guilty of the same crime as him!" Guo Yan suddenly shouted, which suddenly made everyone dare not speak anymore.

He stared at his son with a pair of eyes: "Guo Han, I am acting according to the law of Dayue, you can accept it, do you have any complaints?" ”

"My son is guilty, and he doesn't dare to complain!" Guo Han was also extremely tough, and immediately stepped forward.

Well, now, things are really going to be decided.
