Guo Rong, Emperor Shizong of Zhou

Guo Rong of the Later Zhou inherited Guo Wei's throne and fulfilled his duty. He defeated all kinds of stale forces and dared to declare war on the figureheads of various dark powers, never knowing defeat. Guo Rong was a man of both letters and arms, skilled at recognizing and employing talent, and fair in rewarding and punishing. He had grand ambitions and extraordinary talents, and held the common people close to his heart. He sought to unify China, but his life was cut short. His passing left behind an eternal regret. Zhao Kuangyi coveted the throne and had long been secretly plotting to seize it. Even if the late emperor had found out, nothing could have been done to undo it. A grave mistake had been made, and events had already taken their inevitable course.
