Indulge in the national teacher

Liu Peng, Minister of the Ministry of officials.

This Mr. Liu was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the Supreme Emperor at the beginning. In just five years, he was promoted from a member of the Ministry of Officials to the position of Shangshu.Although Gu Fang had never met Liu Peng before, he had heard Cuihua talk about this Liu Shangshu before An Guo Gong's mansion was still in decline.

Cuihua died tragically, and the person she hated the most was Gu Yan, so she often followed Gu Yan to intimidate him.Although he never succeeded, Cuihua inadvertently learned many secrets about Gu Yan.And she told Gu Fang all these secrets in the chat.

Among them, there is news about Liu Shangshu.According to Cuihua, Liu Peng, like Gu Yan, was actually the same person who abolished the prince, and they all played a role in the incident of Queen Fangxian.But Liu Peng didn't have a deep foundation at that time, so he didn't show up everywhere without any scruples like Gu Yan, and thus escaped the purge of the courtiers by Lian Zong when he returned to Beijing.

"Master Guoshi." Seeing that Gu Fang had been silent all this time, Liu Peng raised his voice while thinking in his heart why this Guoshi was so blind and didn't give him face.

Compared to Liu Peng's impatience, Gu Fang is not impatient at all. He sits crookedly in the sedan chair, watching Liu Shangshu bend down in the rain through the white gauze, with a devotion to the country and the people look.

He hung out Liu Peng for a cup of tea, and before he could open his mouth, he heard Lian Zong's voice coming from far and near: "I really don't know that in Liu Shangshu's heart, I am actually a "willful" person." people."

Gu Fang was startled, thinking that this was different from what had been discussed.He glanced at Liu Peng out of the corner of his eye, and saw Liu Peng "plop" kneeling on the ground, shaking non-stop.He looked at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground in the rain, and found that they also lowered their heads even lower, and they were about to touch his knees.

Lian Zong walked out of the Golden Luan Hall unhurriedly.A palace man followed behind him to hold an umbrella for him.Every step he takes will bring a lot of water splashes, which shows how heavy his steps are.

"I dare not." Liu Peng replied tremblingly, terrified.It was only then that he knew that he had been used as a trick by the cunning Zhongshu Ling and others.

Lian Zong didn't pay attention to Liu Shangshu, who knew at a glance that he was up to no good.He went straight to Gu Fang's sedan chair, stretched out his hand to push aside the white sand on the sedan chair, and then stretched his palm up in front of Gu Fang: "It's my fault for alarming the national teacher."

Gu Fang stared into his eyes for a while, then put his hand in Lian Zong's after he collected himself.He calmly comforted His Majesty the Emperor, who seemed to blame himself, and said: "Your Majesty is serious."

The incident of the previous letter has already let everyone know that he, the national teacher, is on the side of His Majesty the Emperor, so he has nothing to shy away from now.

Gu Fang relied on Lian Zong's strength to jump up and down from the sedan chair.And Zhang Pu, who had been standing on the sidelines and drenched in the rain, quickly took an umbrella from the palace man and covered it over the heads of Gu Fang and his master.

"Ah Heng, go and bring that drummer to the Golden Luan Hall." Lian Zong said to Lian Heng.

"Yes." Lian Heng wiped the rainwater off his face, not caring that his clothes were soaked, and finally smiled excitedly, then rode out of the palace.

It stands to reason that Lian Zong's actions should have followed the wishes of the petitioning ministers, but when Gu Fangang followed Lian Zong to the Golden Luan Hall, he looked back at the ministers deliberately and found that all of them had faces. Not happy.Liu Peng's whole body trembled even more.

Gu Fang laughed mockingly.

Now that these people have come this far, there is no room for regret.

Arriving in the Golden Luan Hall, Gu Fang slightly raised his head and looked at this place that symbolizes supreme power.And Lian Zong asked Zhang Pu to place another chair beside the dragon chair.

Gu Fang looked at the soft cushions on the chair, and thought that Zhang Pu's work was really satisfactory, and he was Lian Zong's confidant.

After he finished the two cups of tea that Zhang Pu handed over, Lian Zong asked Zhang Pu to call in the ministers who were still kneeling outside.

Gu Fang listened, and quickly sat up straight, assuming the posture of a national teacher.He has a heavy responsibility this time, and it would be bad if he was rude in front of the ministers.

Coincidentally, when those wet ministers walked into the Golden Luan Hall, Lian Heng also arrived here with the drummer.

Gu Fang counted the number of ministers and found that there were many more.Presumably the other ministers who were secretly observing the incident around also followed in.

At first glance, the current Golden Luan Hall looks like it was when Lian Zong went to court in the early morning.Gu Fang swept his eyes and found that it was raining outside, about three or seven times the same as when it was not raining just now.This shows that Lian Zong's control over the court is still very strong.

Gu Fang then turned his gaze to the person who played the drum, seeing his firm expression despite his fear, and his trembling body despite his efforts to keep calm, Gu Fang thought to himself: This person must be He was not with Liu Peng and the others. He should have been encouraged by someone with a heart, and he was really afraid of the plague in the city, so he came to beat the drums and complain.

Then he can intercede with Lian Zong for this person after this incident is over.

The drummer's knee hit the Golden Luan Hall heavily, and under Lian Zong's sharp gaze, he tremblingly spoke out what he said: "Your Majesty, please be the master of the Caomin and their relatives, and restore justice to the world."

"Everyone is righteous in the world?" Lian Zong sat on the dragon chair, not angry but pretentious.His aura of detachment suddenly spread in the Golden Luan Hall, which is not something an ordinary person can hold.

"Warning from heaven, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, unorthodox..." the man said again.But before he finished speaking, Gu Fang really couldn't listen anymore.He stood up with a sneer, disdainful of the drummer's words.

It was one thing to pity the drummer, quite another to disapprove of what he said.

While applauding unhurriedly, Gu Fang met Liu Peng's glaring eyes and went down to the place where the officials were standing.

He leaned closer to the drummer, glanced at him as if he was an insignificant person, then put his hands behind his back, and said what he and Lian Zong had discussed a long time ago: "It's really nonsense. I watch the sky at night, I don't care From there, I can see that there is Feng Laiyi in the east, which can resolve this crisis."

Gu Fang looked at the skeptical ministers, but he didn't panic, because he didn't say this for these ministers, but for the drummer.

Obviously, Gu Fang's status as the national teacher played a role, and the face of the drummer gradually calmed down after listening to Gu Fang's words.

Gu Xin was overjoyed, and when he was about to make persistent efforts, Liu Peng became anxious.Seeing that he was about to step forward to speak, Lian Heng stepped out of the queue of officials one step ahead of him.

Lian Heng came to Gu Fang with a big stride, bowed solemnly to Gu Fang, and then said in a loud voice: "What the national teacher said is true, in this way, the danger of the capital will not be solved in a day! Brother, in my humble opinion, doesn’t this "there is a phoenix coming to the ceremony" imply that there is someone who can be the mother of the world? This must be the meaning of God letting the emperor choose a talent. I implore the emperor to choose this mother for the sake of the people. The people of Yitianxia!"

After Lian Heng finished speaking, Lian Zong also nodded seriously.He immediately asked Zhang Pu to prepare his pen and ink, and he wanted to order a draft!

Gu Fang also stood aside with a wink.He looked at Lian Zong coldly, and the two brothers Lian Heng sang and sang, making Liu Peng and others' noses crooked in anger, but they dared to be angry and dared not speak out.

How could Liu Peng and others not want to refute Gu Fang's words.But when Gu Fanghui became the national teacher, they also contributed a lot.Let them take the initiative to object now, isn't this a slap in the face?

Liu Peng glared at Gu Fang bitterly, thinking that this man was indeed as cunning as his father, and he was used to playing tricks on the wind.He was also angry that Gu Fang didn't care about the relationship between these people and his father.

Thinking of this, Liu Peng took a look at Zhongshu Ling. After receiving no response, he could only lower his head and hesitantly admitted his mistake to Lian Zong, saying that it's not that he didn't believe in the national teacher, but that the draft would cost a lot of money. time.What will happen to the capital during this period of time?

The drummer was almost moved by Lian Zong's persuasion.As soon as he heard Liu Peng's words, he grabbed his tattered clothes nervously and looked at Lian Zong without blinking.

Lian Zong's eyes flicked across Liu Peng's body, and then the old god sat on the dragon chair on the ground without speaking.

Just when Liu Peng thought his words were useful, the Chief Imperial Physician of the Tai Hospital, Zhang Tai Physician, suddenly asked to see him.

Although this doctor Zhang is over seventy years old, his legs and feet are still very flexible.

Doctor Zhang took out a prescription from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Pu.Then Zhang Pu gave the prescription to Lian Zong.At this time, Imperial Physician Zhang began to describe in detail what he and other imperial physicians of the imperial hospital had discovered, as well as the inhibitory and therapeutic effects of this prescription on the plague.

Although Lian Zong had already known about the progress of Doctor Zhang and the others in advance, he still couldn't help showing joy and relief on his face.

After all, he still has the people of the world in his heart.

"Your Majesty is wise." Gu Fang took the opportunity to put the credit on Lian Zong.is not that right?As soon as Lian Zong said that he was going to be drafted, the prescription to cure the plague came. Isn't this a manifestation of God's affirmation of Lian Zong.

Lian Heng followed Gu Fang to congratulate him very politely.

Seeing that the general situation was over, Liu Peng and others had no choice but to kneel down with all the ministers to congratulate them.

So far, the plague storm that has spread from the palace to the whole capital has been understood.

In the next few days, Gu Fang took up homework in the National Teacher Pagoda that he missed in order to cooperate with Lian Zong's intensive practice in the previous few days.However, he did not miss the follow-up development of this plague incident.

According to Emperor Kaiyuan and the others, most of the people suffering from the plague in the capital have recovered.There were only two or three people whose physical condition was really bad, and they couldn't bear it anymore.

During this period, Lian Zong also ran to the National Teacher Tower once.He first thanked Gu Fang for his cooperation, and then pretended to get the specific time of the draft from Gu Fang: the seventh day of July.

Gu Fang originally thought that he could live an idle life if he didn't care about it again, but his master Kaiyuan Emperor broke the tranquility first.

On the third day before the draft, Emperor Kaiyuan and the others suddenly brought a strange ghost to the National Master Tower.After explaining, Gu Fang found out that this ancestor was also an ancestor of the royal family, and he had a place in the ancestral hall, but he built a government office outside, so he didn't stay in the royal ancestral hall on weekdays.

And this old ancestor is the emperor's uncle, the old King Ningping.Of course, the position of King Ningping is now inherited by his eldest son.The new King Ningping is a supporter of the Supreme Emperor.After Lian Zong inherited the throne, King Ningping never came to the early court.

However, Ningping Wang's family did not escape in this draft.There are three young ladies of appropriate age in his family.This time will participate in the draft.

"I don't know where I can help the prince?" Gu Fang has always had a good attitude towards these deceased ancestors.

"Alas..." Old King Ningping sighed, and then said, "When His Majesty sealed up the An Guogong Mansion, the National Teacher was also in it. Naturally, he knows His Majesty's attitude towards the Gu family."

"Naturally." Gu Fang nodded, not very willing to think of the fire that filled the sky.

"On the second day after the Gu family was exiled, my unfilial son brought back a girl." The old prince looked very distressed.

Gu Fang was getting more and more confused about what he meant.

"That girl is Gu Xue, the daughter of An Guogong Gu Yan." The old prince's shocking words made Gu Fang's legs almost go limp and he couldn't stand up.

"What?" Gu Fang couldn't help asking.

"This draft, Miss Gu will also participate." The old King Ning Ping did not answer Gu Fang immediately, but said another shocking sentence.
