Is Guo dead?

Wei Liangchen was a little lost. He knew that Guo's life was short and died before Zhu Changluo ascended the throne. After Apocalypse ascended the throne, he gave Empress Xiaoyuan a posthumous title, but he never thought that Guo would die now.

His Majesty Wei also thought of getting rid of this poor woman yesterday morning, thinking that the two points and one line in the East Palace were paving the way and building a solid foundation for the iron triangle. If it were not allowed by conscience and morality, I was afraid that I would have already started to arrange this matter.

"Why is it so sudden? Is there something... that is not known to outsiders?" Wei Liangchen was really surprised and couldn't help thinking in the direction of conspiracy theory.

If Zhu Changluo's fat man could kill Chongzhen's miserable mother Liu Shunniao, it might not be impossible to kill Guo. Whether judging from historical facts or personality, Zhu Changluo is a cruel person.

The reason why he was portrayed as an honest and dedicated person was only because the courtiers wanted to embellish the country's results they had fought for. Just as King Fu was portrayed as greedy and stupid.

Even so, it cannot conceal Zhu Changluo's greedy nature of money and lust.

The fact that he died of indulgence could not be changed.

The more than 2 million taels of usury he owed in those years as the prince could not change.

A sword and pen official is only in mind.

Guo's sudden death reasonably explained why Ke Yinyue failed to go home. I think the East Palace is now in chaos.

Wei Liangchen seemed to be looking for clues of the conspiracy.

His heart even burst out because he was afraid that this matter would be related to Xi Li.

The crazy Li Cuier could kill Wang Cairen. It was not impossible to kill the Crown Princess again without any worries.

If that is the case, it will be a bad thing.

Wang Cairen is just Zhu Changluona's concubine, so it doesn't matter if he dies, but Guo is his wife and the crown princess who is agreed by Wanli!

The more Wei Liangchen thought about it, the more he became more and more afraid. At that time, he felt a chill in his palms.

Li Yongzhen said that Guo's health was not good, especially after his daughter died, her body became worse and worse. She died suddenly last night and then knocked on the palace city for emergency message. Then the imperial physician and the eunuch around the emperor rushed to the East Palace to check, but there was nothing unusual.

Wei Liangchen breathed a sigh of relief. It was not enough that Xi Li was beaten to death.

"Guo is the crown prince's concubine, and his death is also a national mourning. I am afraid that the imperial concubine will not be able to go west."

Li Yongzhen's inference is reasonable, but Wei Liangchen is not worried that the imperial concubine will break the appointment.

He remembered clearly that because Wanli didn't like Zhu Changluo, he knew that after Guo died, he refused to give his daughter-in-law a mourning according to the standard of a crown princess, which resulted in his coffin being in the East Palace for more than two years.

It was not until the "strike case" that caused a sensation in the government and the public more than two years later that Zhu Changluo's situation was widely sympathized. In order to calm the anger of public opinion, Wanli named Guo the "Crown Princess Gongjing" and mourned according to the standards of the Crown Princess.

Then, this means that now, Wanli, the "father-in-law", will not care about the death of Guo's "daughter-in-law".

With such a father-in-law, how could Concubine Zheng, the nominal "mother-in-law", feel sad about Guo's death?

I'm afraid now, the mother-in-law, the imperial concubine, might be happy with Guo's death, and even wished that the eldest son would follow him.

"Whether the imperial concubine goes to Xishan or not, since the emperor handed over this matter to us, we have to do it well."

Wei Liangchen asked Li Yongzhen to get familiar with him in the East Factory. Before he received the order that the imperial concubine would not go to the West Mountain, he had been in the West Mountain for the past two days.

This is the first time that Eunuch Wei has served as a guard since he was two lives, and there is no mistake at all.

Cui Yingyuan had already started arrangements on the other side of the West Mountain, so Wei Liangchen did not draw the rest of the positions and took his personal guards to the West Mountain.

………….

Xishan is the head of Taihang. The people in the capital also call it Xiaoqingliang Mountain. Its shape is like a rising dragon and a python, guarding the city of Beijing from the west, so it is also known as the "right arm of the Shenjing".

The place where the imperial concubine worships the Buddha is Biyun Temple on the West Mountain. This is a royal temple. It is said that Yelu Alemis's house was built on the mountain and was first called Biyun Temple.

During the Zhengde period, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Priest built a Shengtang behind the temple and changed Biyun Temple to Biyun Temple. Yu Jingyi was able to be buried here after his death, but he was convicted but failed to do so.

This was the first time that Wei Liangchen went to Xishan and also the first time he went to a temple.

When he was at the foot of the mountain, his heart felt a little depressed.

This Biyun Temple was actually the place where the second uncle chose to bury his bones. Unfortunately, he believed in Chongzhen and was dismembered by Chongzhen's edict. He hung his head in Hejian Prefecture, and had no bones left in the world.

After the second uncle's death, someone who knew his wish during his lifetime built a tomb for his second uncle in Biyun Temple. Unfortunately, during the Kangxi period of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, the surface of the cemetery was destroyed and flattened.

In Wei Liangchen's previous life, a heavy rain in Beijing in 2005 washed out the second uncle, the tomb buried underground.

When Wei Liangchen thought of this, he sighed and moved.

If he saw the fate of the second uncle as an outsider, he would not have much feelings, but his body was the second uncle's nephew. The so-called "little lips and teeth" could not be without pain.

"Dadfather, it's inconvenient for the mountain road, but do you have to prepare a sedan chair?"

The person who spoke was Hu Yuan, who took over Sanada as the captain of Wei Liangchen's personal guard. This man was born as a horse bandit and had very good sword skills. He was killed with one more knife when he encountered the enemy, so he was also called "Hu Yidao" in the army.

Wei Liangchen glanced at the mountain and shook his head, telling Hu Yuan not to have a sedan chair.

Since it was a royal temple, Wei Liangchen, as an internal minister, had to do his best to look at it, get off the horse at the foot of the mountain, and only lead his personal guards to walk up the mountain to show his piety.

The West Mountain is not all temples, but people live in it. There are not many pilgrims along the way, and there are very few, which makes Wei Liangchen a little surprised. He knew that the West Mountain is a famous Buddhist sacred place in the capital. Not to mention that the great officials and nobles are rushing to follow him, even ordinary people are rushing to burn incense and worship Buddha, so why are they missing today?

"Father-in-law, these pilgrims look wrong." Hu Yuan's "professional" instinct discovered the problem immediately.

Wei Liangchen also noticed it, but did not make any statement, and just asked everyone to be careful. When they walked halfway up the mountain, they saw a team of men coming in front of him, but it was Cui Yingyuan.

"See the factory!"

Cui Yingyuan led more than a dozen Black Flag Arrow Captains to bow to Wei Liangchen.

Wei Liangchen nodded slightly, called Cui Yingyuan over, and ordered: "We have seen many pilgrims along the way, but they don't look like good men and women. You should take someone to investigate immediately, so you can't let the traitors and barbarians get in."

After hearing this, Cui Yingyuan said with a embarrassed look on his face: "Dadfather, those are all subordinates... The subordinates specially arranged them to pretend to be pilgrims."

“Hmm?…”
