Indulge in the national teacher

When returning from Qinyang Palace to the National Master Pagoda, Gu Fang sat in the carriage and asked Lian Zong a question: "Have you thought about the consequences of detaining those ministers in Qingcheng Temple before offering sacrifices?"

He has a reason for asking.Since the founding of Dayao Dynasty, all civil and military officials participated in the annual sacrificial ceremony.They need to pray in the Golden Luan Hall in the early court for good weather next year, peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

This time, even if the ministers who secretly went to Qingcheng Temple for fun were detained, those ministers must be panicked.It would be bad if they jumped over the wall in a hurry.

"Well, I just asked people to search for the rebellious party in Mingxin Lake, didn't I?" Lian Zong pinched Gu Fang's cheek with a smile, "I didn't know they were all in Qingcheng Temple, it was all a coincidence."

As he spoke, he patted Gu Fang's face twice with his hands as if reluctantly, smiling like a fox.

Gu Fang really couldn't see Lian Zong's stern look, so he glared at him, then waved away Lian Zong's hand that was still on his cheek: "You just need to be clear in your heart."

"And I didn't say to keep them there forever." Lian Zong was not annoyed, he approached Gu Fang with a smile, and said, "Wouldn't it be good to kill their willpower? Then they won't be able to make troubles at the sacrifice." .”

As he spoke, there was a little inexplicable light in his eyes.

Gu Fang was silent, and it took him a long time before he said again: "After the sacrifice is over and everything is arranged, you are going to attack Qingcheng Temple?"

"You know, I've endured it long enough." Lian Zong stroked Gu Fang's hair with a smile, and put it to his mouth and kissed it lightly.

Gu Fang understood what Lian Zong meant, so he stopped talking.He didn't care about Lian Zong playing with his hair as a toy, but when Lian Zong laughed really strangely, he patted Lian Zong's face with his hand to wake him up.

Lian Zong was taken aback, and then easily read Gu Fang's unspoken concern from Gu Fang's eyes: "Didn't you see that the evil spirit on your body has increased? Don't act recklessly just because you won't be attacked by the evil spirit." gone."

He finally smiled sincerely this time, which brightened Gu Fang's mood a little.

Lian Zong and Gu Fang returned to the palace in a warm atmosphere all the way, and the ministers and dignitaries who were left in the Qingcheng Temple were so distressed that they almost turned their heads.

These people, because of the court's law, only dared to have fun in Qingcheng Temple, a place with hidden romantic places.

At first, some people were quite repelled by this matter, but whenever supporters of the abolished prince gathered or discussed matters, Zhongshu ordered Shangguan to set the time for the 25th or [-]th every time, and the place always It is in Qingcheng Temple.

After going back and forth, these people who were still a little bit persistent in their hearts gradually gave up.They degenerate into what they least want to see.

But the temptation of beauty is really not something everyone can resist.They are used to having fun on the 25th and [-]th of every month. Even if Zhongshuling no longer organizes them, they will involuntarily go to Qingchengguan, a place that makes them addicted.

But this does not mean that they have given up their face.After expressing their inner desires and desires one by one, these ministers are ready to leave Qingcheng Temple and continue to live in a dignified manner.

If the deposed prince succeeds in ascending the throne, the Qingcheng Temple may be the secret they buried in their hearts.But Lian Zong's appearance broke everything.

The great prince who came back from hell imprisoned the deposed prince and the overlord, and won successive battles with them.

Many people who originally supported the abolished prince and the overlord were shaken.Even Zhongshu Ling has restrained a lot during this period.

But they can't control their legs when they take a monthly rest, and they will always meet at Qingcheng Temple.

After one or two times, they discovered that His Majesty the Emperor hadn't noticed their behavior.So they became bolder and continued to indulge.

But now, these people will pay the price for their indulgence.They were left in the area of ​​Mingxin Lake, and they couldn't go out, nor could they contact the outside world.

Some people panicked all of a sudden, and asked their subordinates to inquire about the news.The response they got was that His Majesty the Emperor ordered the imperial army to search the rebellious party in the Mingxin Lake area and temporarily blocked Mingxin Lake.

"Ah!" A scream broke the silence of the ministers.

"What are you yelling about!" The young master of the Li family looked impatiently at the man who had fallen on the ground, and immediately recognized that it was Wang Heng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Wang Heng didn't care about Young Master Li's scolding, he just pointed in the direction of Mingxin Lake and kept trembling.

Young Master Li became even more impatient.After his family members found out about his meddling in His Majesty's draft, he was trapped at home and could not come out.This time he finally found a gap to relax in Qingcheng Temple, and he was naturally unhappy when he encountered this kind of thing.

Young Master Li looked in the direction of Wang Heng's finger, and saw Mingxin Lake shimmering, revealing indescribable beauty and coldness.

"Nothing, what are you calling nonsense." Young Master Li gave Wang Heng a look, quite contemptuous of his appearance.

The other dignitaries who were standing together with Young Master Li and Wang Heng and trying to find a way also snorted in disdain.But their disdain didn't last long, Wang Heng's words broke everyone's defenses.

"I, I just saw, I saw a girl smiling at me in the lake." Wang Heng's eyes widened, and his tone was filled with fear, "Her eyes, her eyes are still bleeding!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Young Master Li kicked Wang Heng who was kneeling on the ground to the ground.But don't look at him with a lot of momentum now, in fact, he has no bottom in his heart.

Because he thought of the girls trained by Qingchengguan who died at his hands.

For a moment, Young Master Li only felt that the cries and shouts of those girls were mixed with the wind from Mingxin Lake.His expression was a little dazed, and it was only then that he realized that his hands were already stained with blood.

"Snapped!"

Someone had closed the window of the room they were in that faced Mingxin Lake, as if by doing so, they would not have to be haunted by their own demons and fears.

On the other hand, the master of the Qingcheng Temple was also very annoyed by Lian Zong's series of actions.

He shattered the table in front of him with one palm, and said angrily to his senior disciple, "You actually let people escape! Now that the imperial court has paid attention to this place, what do you think should be done?"

The first disciple trembled, and then replied tremblingly: "That Hong Yun was very loyal before, and she went to perform the task of jumping into the lake, so I didn't have much doubt..."

"Hmph!" The temple master obviously did not accept his senior disciple's explanation. He grabbed the senior disciple's collar fiercely and said, "If the imperial court finds out the secret of Qingcheng temple, we will all be finished! Go and get those women The children are all locked up, so don't train them in the near future. Don't leave any clues!"

After speaking, he let go of the collar of the eldest disciple, then closed his eyes and stopped talking.

"Yes." Seeing this, the eldest disciple hastily carried out the order of the temple master.

After the first disciple opened the door and went out, the temple master slowly opened his eyes again.

He showed a ferocious look on his face, and then quickly restrained himself.

Maybe he can really consider a way out.His Majesty the Emperor is much harder to deal with than he imagined.

Just when Qingcheng Temple and those powerful ministers were struggling with the blockade of Mingxin Lake, the imperial army stationed at Qingcheng Temple was suddenly reduced by half, and instead of being stationed in one place, they became sub-teams patrolling around Mingxin Lake.

This solved a big problem for those ministers and dignitaries who were eager to leave.

These people who used to walk with their heads held high now quietly escaped the patrols of the imperial guards like rats crossing the street.

These people don't know that they think they are invisible, but they are actually under the control of the imperial army.

No, in the tower of the National Teacher, Gu Fang was lying on his side on a small couch, listening to Lian Zong recount what the imperial army brought back about the appearance of those powerful ministers when they fled.

Gu Fang couldn't help laughing, and then said to Lian Zong, "You can figure it out."

Seeing the rare smile on Gu Fang's cold face, Lian Zong moved towards Gu Fang's side non-stop.

"Stay away from me." Gu Fang lazily closed his eyes, "Does Your Majesty have no state affairs to deal with?"

"No hurry." Lian Zong pulled Gu Fang up and let him lean on his body: "Zhong Shuling's thoughts have been put away a lot, so I'm naturally relaxed."

Just as Gu Fang was about to speak, he heard Emperor Kaiyuan's cold snort. He quickly sat up from Lian Zong's arms and asked, "Why is Master here?"

When they came back from Lian Heng, Lian Zong immediately went to the ancestral hall facing Emperor Kaiyuan and told them about the evils hidden in Mingxin Lake and Qingcheng Temple.

After hearing this, Emperor Kaiyuan was in a very bad mood. Not only Emperor Kaiyuan, but also Prince Jin and Prince Yan were heartbroken about this matter.

The three ancestors were in a bad mood, so Gu Fang and Lian Zong naturally couldn't rush to join them.They left their ancestors in the ancestral hall, and they quietly returned to the third floor of the National Teacher Tower.

Emperor Kaiyuan must have slowed down now, otherwise he wouldn't have come down.

"If it were me, I'd just lead the soldiers to take the pot there." Emperor Kaiyuan said viciously, raising his beard.

Lian Zong helplessly explained to Emperor Kaiyuan: "The sacrifice is coming soon, if such a big incident happens at this time, it may affect the sacrifice."

Why didn't Emperor Kaiyuan know this truth? He would say that, but he was really angry in his heart and couldn't express it.

At this time, Lian Zong said again: "This is Fang'er's first time holding a sacrifice, so there can be no mistakes."

Gu Fang was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't thought that there were such considerations in Lian Zong's series of actions before.In his heart he had the joy of being taken care of by his sweetheart, but also the sorrow of becoming a fairy who charmed the king.

"You don't have to..." Gu Fang thought for a while and said, with anxiety in his expression, and was quickly interrupted by Lian Zong.

"Listen to me." Lian Zong reassured Gu Fang, "Everyone knows that the emperor selected me as the national teacher. You represent me, and we have long been inseparable."

Gu Fang was stabbed in the heart by Lian Zong's words, he couldn't help softening his expression, and smiled at Lian Zong.

Emperor Kaiyuan who was on the side caught his eyes by the interaction between the two.He silently moved a little away from them, always feeling a little stuffy.

Don't bully my old man's queen who has been dead for hundreds of years!
