Indulge in the national teacher

It is autumn now, although it is a sunny day, but the wind is still a bit chilly on the body.

Gu Fangduan sat in his seat, watching the girls participating in the draft all wearing thin gauze clothes, intending to show their best body and appearance in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

But His Majesty the Emperor obviously didn't like this. Gu Fang took a rough look at the girls selected by Lian Zong. Most of them belonged to those ministers who were secretly standing opposite Lian Zong or who were vacillating as Emperor Kai Yuan told him. daughter.

After the last incident, those ministers who took part in the "persuasion" were either moved out of the capital or suppressed to the bottom. Decades of hard work were in vain.And the daughters of these people are naturally not on the list of this draft.

In this way, although the threats to Lian Zong from the deposed prince and the Supreme Emperor are still there, they have been cut off a lot.Even Zong can relax for a while.

But Gu Fang saw the blue marks in his eyes and knew that our emperor didn't give himself a chance to relax at all.

Gu Fang couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the emperor is not something everyone can do.

"Is there something the national teacher wants to see me just now?" Lian Zong saw Gu Fang staring at him in a daze at a glance, and suddenly thought of teasing him.

"No." How could Gu Fang not see the smile in Lian Zong's eyes, he immediately replied blankly.Just now I praised Lian Zong for his diligence in government affairs for nothing.Now it seems that their emperor, His Majesty, is still very expensive to have fun.

Even seeing Gu Fang's attitude, he didn't care too much. Instead, he shook his head in a good-tempered manner, and then casually "selected" his concubines.

Gu Xin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But not long after.He was a little tired.No matter how beautiful a beauty is, that's all it takes to see too much.Moreover, he glanced at Lian Zong, and then couldn't help but think that His Majesty the Emperor is slightly better than him in terms of appearance.It's just that his temperament is too strong on weekdays, and people can't help but ignore his appearance.

But that might also be a good thing.

This draft did not reach the final procedure until the evening of the day.Fifteen "beauties" selected by Lianzong stood in the cold wind and let Lianzong arrange in order, and this order was related to their future status.

Gu Fang was bored looking at the corners of the girls' skirts blown up by the wind, thinking that it would be such a beautiful sight to gather so many beautiful girls together.

It's a pity that he could see at a glance that they each had their own little thoughts.This made Gu Xin feel a little uncomfortable.These people all entered the palace with a purpose.The impurity in their hearts makes even the most beautiful appearance empty.

Of course Lian Zong knew this, so after arranging the order, he immediately ordered Zhang Pu to take the girls down, and then sat on the dragon chair in silence.

His Majesty the Emperor didn't even speak, and Gu Fang couldn't speak without authorization.Even Lian Heng, who wanted to be lively, had no choice but to drink tea by the side, dazed at the same time, without making much noise.

After a long time, Gu Fang heard Lian Zong sigh in a trance and said, "Would the national teacher be willing to accompany me to the imperial garden?"

Gu Fang responded in a low voice.There is nothing for him to do, so it is a good choice to enjoy the imperial garden.

However, Lian Heng, who was sitting by the side, did not have this good opportunity.He was "kicked out" of the palace by Lian Zong and asked him to go back to his residence to study.

It was only then that Gu Fang knew that Qinyang Wang Lianheng was still a "big kid" who needed to study.

Facing Gu Fang's rare playful eyes, Lian Heng quickly walked away muttering something, leaving only Lian Zong and Gu Fang to walk to the Imperial Garden silently.

The imperial garden in autumn is also full of flowers. Among the bright flowers, the most eye-catching ones are the blooming chrysanthemums. In addition, the red maple trees around the imperial garden seem to be at least six feet wide. The embellishment is simply beautiful.

Gu Fang accompanied Lian Zong on the small stone road in the Imperial Garden, followed by only Zhang Pu who was loyal to Lian Zong.Looking at this posture, Gu Fang vaguely sensed Lian Zong's intentions.

Lian Zong seemed to want to tell him the truth.

Sure enough, when turning around a rockery, he even supported the smooth stone wall with his hands and said to Gu Fang: "That's how the queen mother entered the palace, too."

Looking at Lian Zong's lonely expression, Gu Fang knew that today's draft must have touched some of his memories. He wanted to comfort him, but he didn't have any position on the matter of the first queen.

Gu Fang once heard Emperor Kaiyuan talk about this elegant and virtuous former empress.Lian Zong's mother, the eldest son, was born in a martial arts family and was a descendant of the Great General Protecting the Nation.However, this eldest grandson empress is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which doesn't quite match the family tradition.

After the Great General Protecting the Country helped the Supreme Emperor ascend the throne, Empress Changsun participated in the draft according to the Supreme Emperor's will, then entered the palace as a concubine, and became Dayao's queen a year later.

In the beginning, the Supreme Emperor was tender and affectionate towards the eldest grandson empress, but after a long time, he began to be afraid of the power of the General Protector's Mansion, deliberately suppressed it, and favored the virtuous concubine Li.This is also the beginning of empress Changsun and Lian Zong's bad luck.

"That man didn't believe that his grandfather would be loyal to him." Perhaps it was because there were no other people around, so he couldn't maintain his usual smiling face even for a moment. If it wasn’t for my grandfather’s old ministry and uncle protecting me in secret, I probably would have died at the border as well.”

After listening, Gu Fang understood that Lian Zong only wanted someone to listen to his story, so he kept silent.

However, Gu Fang knew in his heart that when Empress Elder Sun would enter the palace, the Supreme Emperor probably wanted her to hold back the Palace of the Great General Protecting the Country.What love and tenderness are so fragile in the face of power.

For the first time, he felt sympathy for the experienced emperor in front of him, but when he thought about his own background, it seemed that he was no better than Lian Zong.

The autumn wind rolled the fallen leaves and passed the two of them, carrying an indescribably bleak atmosphere.Gu Fang and Lian Zong stood for a long time while listening to each other and talking to the other.

Suddenly, Gu Fang saw a bright object not far away.

He was frightened immediately, and couldn't help but took a step back, and then accidentally stepped on the pile of dead leaves, making a series of small sounds.

Lian Zong naturally noticed this movement.He looked at Gu Fang suspiciously, then followed Gu Fang's line of sight, but saw nothing.

"What did the national teacher see?" Lian Zong just asked, when he suddenly thought of the dream he had once had.If at that time he was just skeptical about Gu Fang's special ability, then he can be basically sure now that Gu Fang has an unknown ability.

"It's nothing." Gu Fang couldn't tell the truth, so he covered his mouth with his hand and pretended to cough, "A bird flew over just now, which startled me. It disturbed Your Majesty."

"It's okay." Lian Zong didn't want to pursue anything here.After all, Gu Fang has no bad intentions towards him, and it can even be said that he has trust in him, and he is not in a hurry to know everything at this moment.

So when he saw the uncomfortable look on Gu Fang's face, he quickly ordered Zhang Pu to send Gu Fang back to the National Master Tower.

Gu Fang breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had doubts in his heart.I don't know what Lian Zong suspected of him.

After saying goodbye to Lian Zong, he quickened his pace to catch up with Zhang Pu.He really didn't want to stay alone with Lian Zong anymore.

Coincidentally, when Zhang Pu sent Gu out of Yuhuayuan, they happened to pass by that ghost.Through the bright light outside it, Gu Fang was lucky enough to see her face clearly.

It was a dignified-looking woman.And her appearance made Gu Fang feel very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Back at the National Teacher Tower, Gu Fang's heart beat fast for some reason, and he couldn't calm down no matter what.It wasn't until he drank several cups of tea that he stopped being so anxious.

Of course, his abnormal behavior couldn't be hidden from Emperor Kaiyuan and the others.Under Kaiyuan Emperor's questioning, Gu Fang finally expressed a conjecture that troubled him: "I think Lian Zong...I think His Majesty has discovered something wrong with me."

He lowered his voice: "For example, on things like ghosts..."

Then he looked at Emperor Kaiyuan with some uncomfortable eyes, and asked in an inconceivably ethereal voice: "Master, Lian Zong suddenly didn't imprison me in the National Master Tower, and he would let me watch without warning." Draft, here, did you do something?"

"Alas." Faced with Gu Fang's question, Emperor Kaiyuan couldn't hide it anymore, so he simply admitted: "Yes, I did it. I went to Zong'er to see him in his dream."

After Emperor Kaiyuan said this, Gu Fang was finally able to connect everything together.But at the same time, his heart was suddenly swallowed by a burst of fear.

Did Lian Zong have doubts about him?And the accident in the imperial garden just now, will Lian Zong feel that there is something wrong with him?

What does Lian Zong think of his concealment?

Gu Fang's mind kept flashing Lian Zong, or meaningful, or gentle and free smiles, distracting thoughts for a while, and he was a little dazed.

"Apprentice, apprentice." Emperor Kaiyuan saw that his apprentice was abnormal, and he quickly comforted him, "Don't be afraid. Look, Zong'er hasn't said anything yet. You are here alone, thinking wildly, in case you misunderstand What about Zong'er?"

Gu Fang was a little at a loss: "Master..."

Emperor Kaiyuan continued his efforts: "Zong'er may have noticed something, but Master, I believe that he is an upright person and will not use schemes on friends."

Gu Fang was taken aback for a moment, he didn't know that in his master's heart, the relationship between him and Lian Zong could already be described as "friend".

Hearing this, he seemed to relax a lot immediately.But Gu Fang knew that his mentality was a little abnormal.

He seemed to be thinking about Lian Zong that he shouldn't have.

At that moment, today Lian Zong sat high on the dragon chair, his extraordinary appearance suddenly appeared in front of Gu Fang.No matter how hard he tried to recall everything around him at that time, he found that he couldn't remember at all.

Lian Zong took all his attention away.

"Master, I want to be alone for a while. Gu Fang" lowered his head, and said to the master who had been looking at him with concern in some embarrassment.

"Okay, okay." Emperor Kaiyuan nodded repeatedly, and did not forget to order before leaving, "Call Master if you have anything to do. You are tired today, so let's put aside your homework for a day."

"Yeah." With such a caring person, how could Gu Fang not be moved?

After Emperor Kaiyuan left, Gu Fang went to the window and sat down in a daze, looking at the dark scenery outside, his thoughts were flying.

Lian Zong's face appeared in front of his eyes time and time again, disturbing him very much.But also because of this, he finally had a flash of inspiration and remembered who the female ghost he saw in the imperial garden today resembled someone.

The appearance of that female ghost is [-]% similar to that of Lian Zong!

Who is she?

Gu Fang suddenly had a bold guess in his mind.
