Indulge in the national teacher

The day before Gu Fang and Lian Zong planned to capture the master of Qingcheng Temple, Li Mingde reported back and forth to Lian Zong, saying that all the female corpses in Mingxin Lake had been salvaged.

The imperial army salvaged more than [-] female corpses from Mingxin Lake. Among them, more than a dozen female corpses were beyond recognition, and it was difficult to identify them clearly.

This is just the number of female corpses floating on the lake, those who have sunk at the bottom of the lake, I don't know how many more.

Due to the cold weather and the almost completely frozen lake, the imperial army has no way to salvage all the corpses in the lake for the time being.

During the past few days when the imperial army was salvaging the female corpse in Mingxin Lake, those whose families lost girls came to inquire.No matter how the imperial guards tried to persuade them, they stubbornly stood in the cold wind, trying to quickly identify whether their family members were among them.

When the female corpses were temporarily placed by the forbidden army by the lake to wait for burial, those people couldn't wait to break through the imperial army's defense line and rushed to the mortuary place recklessly.

All of a sudden, the entire shore of Mingxin Lake echoed with the cries and cries of those who had lost their loved ones.

Li Mingde should have ordered his subordinates to drive these people to the outskirts. On the one hand, it was because the corpses were harmful to people; In the White Horse Temple, accepting the chanting and chanting of Buddhist scriptures by eminent monks can also be regarded as an expression of the imperial court's attitude towards this matter.

But these ordinary people who have lost their loved ones obviously don't think so.One of the old women, who was already over seventy years old, saw her little granddaughter lying lifeless on the white cloth, she broke down in tears and said to Li Mingde: "Sir, please let us take my little granddaughter back. "

The old woman's family also begged Li Mingde bitterly.

Perhaps inspired by the old woman's plea to Li Mingde, many ordinary people who recognized their girls also begged Li Mingde to let them take their children back.

"We know that His Majesty the Emperor and the imperial court want our children to go on the road to hell." One of them said to Li Mingde, "However, we cannot take good care of our children while we are alive. Now, let us take them back Go home. It's the last thing we do for our own children."

Li Mingde looked at these people in embarrassment. He wiped his face, then gritted his teeth, and went into the palace to tell His Majesty the emperor about it.

After listening to Li Mingde's narration, Lian Zong pondered for a while, and then said to Li Mingde: "Forget it, if that's the case, let them go with their own girls."

With Lian Zong's approval, Li Mingde rubbed his hands happily: "Okay, I'll talk to them now."

Lian Zong watched playfully for a while as his capable men hurried out, then he also stood up, patted his clothes, and then went to the National Master Tower.

Gu Fang was also very happy to hear that all the female corpses floating on Mingxin Lake had been salvaged.But at the same time as he was happy, he suddenly felt melancholy.

When investigating Qingcheng Temple, Gu Fang wanted to understand his mother's past.

This strong woman who gave him all the warmth in his childhood should also be taken away by Qingcheng Guan and sent to the former Anguo Gong Gu Yan after training.

Thinking about it now, every time she took Gu Fang back to her "natal home", she would disappear by herself for half a day, and it should be back to Qingcheng Temple to report the information.

And the so-called "maiden's family" is probably just a play.

But fortunately, Gu Fang's mother was buried in the Gu family's house outside the capital at that time, at least she didn't throw her corpse into the lake like other poor girls.

After the Gu family in An Guo Gong's Mansion was exiled by the whole family, this house was moved to the name of the royal family.However, His Majesty the Emperor obviously didn't like this property, so he didn't make any changes to the house.

Gu Fang has not dreamed of his mother for a long time, but he dreamed of it the night he heard that all the female corpses had been salvaged.

He silently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and suddenly he had the idea of ​​sweeping his mother's grave.

It's just that Gu Fang considered that Lian Zong was busy arresting the Qingcheng temple master these days, so Gu Fang didn't mention his idea to Lian Zong immediately.

Now that the master of the Qingcheng temple has obeyed the law, Gu Fang thought about talking to Lian Zong about it.

And most importantly, Gu Fang wanted to take Lian Zong to meet his mother.

Just when Gu Fang wanted to find Lian Zong, Hei Tuanzi suddenly told him that he had found the formation node in the palace, and Gu Fang didn't dare to delay, so he rushed over immediately.

Then the previous thing happened.

"Would you like to go to see my mother with me?" Gu Fang felt a little embarrassed for the first time when he asked Lian Zong this question.

But he was embraced by Lian Zong from behind, no matter what he could not avoid the warm breath from behind Lian Zong's neck on his neck.

"Yes, why not?" Lian Zong smiled heartily.He hugged Gu Fang tightly, liking his slightly pink skin because of his shyness.

This matter is so settled.

While Gu Fang breathed a sigh of relief, he was ready to go back and prepare things for the grave sweeping.This can be regarded as one of his benefits in the National Teacher Tower. There is nothing else in the National Teacher Tower, such as sesame oil and paper money.

But Lian Zong felt that sesame oil and paper money were not enough.

"My majestic Emperor, how can it be so shabby to see your mother-in-law?" Lian Zong raised an eyebrow, and immediately wanted to order Zhang Pu to prepare a generous gift.Naturally, there are all kinds of fruits, and Lian Zong also wanted to add a ghost weapon that only the royal family can use.

In the end, it was Gu Fang who stopped His Majesty the emperor who was having a feverish head. He pursed his lips and said, "My mother can't bear this, so Your Majesty doesn't need to make such a big show."

In addition to this reason, Gu Fang also took into account that Lian Zong's actions would be noticed by interested people.

"Okay." Lian Zong nodded resentfully.A stern look flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly returned to normal.

How could he not know about Gu Fang's care?But whether it's Yushi or rumors, it will never be a stumbling block for him to take Gu Fang down.

Lian Zong couldn't help leaning closer to Gu Fang's ear, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "One day, one day I will let you stand by my side in an open and honest manner."

"I know." Gu Fang raised the corner of his mouth, and rubbed his face with Lian Zong affectionately.

On December [-]nd of the first year of Yuan Ce, Gu Fang and Lian Zong went to the edge of the capital to sweep the grave in the house where Gu Fang's mother was buried.

This time, because it was Gu Fang's personal behavior and His Majesty's "great help", Gu Fang and Lian Zong did not bring too many people with them.

Gu Fang looked at the cart full of paper money, fruits, and ghost objects, and frowned unhappily.

Seeing this, Lian Zong quickly comforted him and said, "I know you don't want me to make a big fuss, but this is also the first time I have to face your mother. After all, I can't come empty-handed."

As he spoke, Lian Zong secretly waved his hand to Zhang Pu.

Zhang Pu immediately stepped forward with understanding, and said to Gu Fangshu with a smile on his face: "It's all the servant's fault. Your Majesty ordered the servant to prepare supplies for sweeping the grave, but the servant misunderstood what His Majesty meant, and accidentally made the national teacher unhappy." .”

Gu Fang murmured softly when he heard the words: "It's not that he's unhappy." As he said this, he thought in his heart that Zhang Pu is the most important subordinate of Lian Zong, and Zhang Pu can accurately comprehend his intentions with just one look from Lian Zong. Meaning, how could it be wrong?

But no matter what, even Zong's actions were all because he valued Gu Fang and Gu Fang's mother, so it was impossible for Gu Fang to have a real birthday.

Gu Fang's attitude softened quickly.Seeing this, Lian Zong hurriedly leaned on Gu Fang shamelessly, refusing to let go.

"Your Majesty!" Gu Fang gritted his teeth and looked at His Majesty the Emperor who almost didn't wag his tail, his tone became more serious.

Lian Zong knew that his actions were too much.He touched his nose and said with a smile, "I'm not too happy?"

What can Gu Fang say at this time?He can't say anything.

Because he was going to visit the grave, even Zong ordered the people in the house to clean up the house early in the morning, but he didn't see a single fallen leaf on the road.

However, after the tomb of Gu Fang's mother was out and briefly maintained, it didn't move much.After all, out of respect for the dead, it is not good to bother.

"My mother left peacefully." Gu Fang took a stick of incense from Zhang Pu's hand, lit it, bowed three times, and finally knelt down before his mother's tombstone.

After he inserted the incense into the incense burner in front of the tombstone, he kowtowed three times.

After he finished all this, he saw that Lian Zong did what he did, and then knelt beside Gu Fang.

Gu Fang suddenly turned his head to look at His Majesty, the most honorable emperor in the world. He moved his lips and said softly, "You don't have to..."

"No, it is necessary." Lian Zong said firmly.He covered Gu Fang's hand with his own, and then slowly clenched it.

At the same time, His Majesty the Emperor said to Gu Fang's mother's tombstone with a bright smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of Fang'er and prevent him from any harm or distress."

Gu Fang silently shifted his eyes from Lian Zong's body back to the tombstone, looking at the bright red characters written in cinnabar on it, his smile was full of happiness.

"Mom, I trust him."

As soon as Gu Fang finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew up the entire cemetery.

In the wind, Gu Fang and Lian Zong vaguely heard a gentle female voice.

"Then have a good time."
