The Chronicles of Kongming
In this age, as attempted assassinations, war, and treachery are rife, many people must find one figurehead, a man of virtue and honor, to unite under. This is true, and is happening.
After the chaotic attacks on King Yi, the people of Liangzhou were shocked to find that the following message had been intercepted by the prison guards, as a man attempted to smuggle it out with the prison laundry. The man is being held for questioning.
'Try to assasin once again king Yi. This time i will say the assasin that if he fails, he will try to burn down the entire building, so even if he fails Yi might be killed by the fire. At the same time i sent a second assasin to assasinate the guards and let me escape from prison. Then i will go into hiding and gather peasants who dont like the rich men and tell them to rise up and revolt.'
The people of Liangzhou are very angry at this appearance of a mass conspiracy against King Yi.
Christos Lee, despite mass public opinion stating otherwise, continues to deny any connection with the assassinations, stating that he will kill the assassin. Unfortunately, he can't begin search for him, as there is the small matter of locked doors and barred windows.
Regent Shao Yu, realizing desperate forces were working against King Yi, contacted the Chen Clan, and had them pick out trusted men as a bodyguard for King Yi. They found two: Chen Cai and Chen Liang, both of whom are known for their prowess in battle. Shao Yu also assigned the Imperial Physician to work on King Yi night and day till he is well.
Meanwhile, shadowy figures destroyed the iron mine near Chang An. Li Jue is suspected.
Some Xianbei were slain near Ping Yi.
And Liu Zhang now hates us.
Seeing the need for iron, Ma Chao slew some Rice Taoists camping out near the spot, and a worker was dispatched.
After the finest military minds in Liangzhou managed to set up Professional Armies, the sages, following King Yi's last orders, began studying the Eight Diagrams.
Lobsang, still a devout Buddhist, has funded the building of a Buddhist temple in An Ding. It cost him 76 gold.
Lu Bu exposes his hypocrisy, as he fails to be indifferent about our indifference to adopting Indifference.
The Fang Zi-An expedition heads north, hoping to find a way around the river. Instead, they find Yun Zhong.
Our Xiongnu slayers run up against halberdiers and spearmen. Despite minor worries, they prove to be no contest.
Fang Zi-An sees Wu Yuan, but still can find no ford.
Li Hao Shi, aboard the Fang Zi-An expedition, has suggested that He Zong build his marvelous academy in Chang An. He Zong has stated that he does not care
where it is, so long as it exists. He then, content that He Zong was doing well, returned to his manor, and taught the students anticipating the academy.
Now Liangzhou rejoices! Mighty King Yi is restored to health, and ready to reassume control of the government! The people greet their restored king with a touching amount of joy!
Shao Yu's last action as Regent was to divide up the taxes. He spent 180 gold on various contributions to the war effort. He then paid a 10 gold salary to each of the governors, and to himself. The remaining 40 gold was given to King Yi.

Great view of the Heishan Bandits' two-man capital, though!

I forgot to mention that the assassin's body had already been searched, with the results mentioned in the last update.
