Indulge in the national teacher

Chapter 73

On the first night after the imperial examination ended on March [-], the second year of Yuance, Emperor Dayao held a grand banquet in Qionghua Palace.

However, this year's banquet, which was used to celebrate the students' rankings in previous years, is destined to not be as full of joyful atmosphere as before.

His Majesty the Emperor rarely abandoned the bright yellow dragon robe this time, but wore a black armor.Beside him, there was also a sharp long sword with an open blade standing straight up.Such a unique dress and saber immediately attracted everyone's attention, and also made all the scholars who were lucky enough to attend this banquet talk a lot.

In fact, before that, almost everyone realized that Dayao's situation was unstable.Although they only thought about the imperial examination, they couldn't really turn a blind eye to the tense atmosphere inside and outside the capital.

In addition, during the palace examination a few days ago, they didn't even see His Majesty the Emperor.Instead, there was a young man sitting behind a screen.

When seeing this scene, all the students who stood out from the written examination of the imperial examination, and the students who were able to participate in the palace examination were all unwilling.But at the same time, each of them had a deeper guess about the situation at the border.

Now when they see His Majesty the Emperor attending the banquet dressed like this, and seeing the silence of the ministers of civil and military affairs sitting close to His Majesty the Emperor, they all know in their hearts that they are afraid that they will face a big challenge before they really enter the official position. There is a crisis.

"Clatter." The heavy armor made a heavy voice.

His Majesty the Emperor stood up holding his wine glass high.He first congratulated all the students who have been named on the gold list in the imperial examination for finding their own belongings in the imperial court and creating their own future legends.

When he said these words, Lian Zong still had a little smile on his face, but when he accepted the worship of all the officials and students, he suddenly changed his style of speaking.

In a sad and serious tone, he told about the crisis at Dayao's border since March [-]st and the wolfish ambitions of the barbarians.

"Everyone, I know your ambitions, and I know your determination to serve the country and the people." Lian Zong's pupils were deep, "I know too! You all want to fight the enemy as much as I do! However, I don't have the right now, But you have!"

His Majesty the Emperor said this very politely, without the aura of being superior and ordering his subordinates. Instead, he sincerely and firmly stated to the officials an emperor's desire to protect his dynasty.

In this way, whether it is a civil servant or a general, a raging flame is ignited in the heart.They only felt that their blood was boiling, that they had put on armor and were already fighting the enemy at the border.

This enthusiastic atmosphere made a student who was seeing such a big scene for the first time tremble slightly, and accidentally bumped into the low table next to him.

The wine glass on the low table was overturned, and the wine flowed down the legs of the low table little by little, and landed on his hand.

He looked down, half thinking he saw the blood sprayed on him by the enemy.

Fearlessly and proudly, like everyone else in Qionghua Palace, he followed His Majesty the Emperor and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Suddenly, the entire Qionghua Palace was filled with a terrifying murderous aura.All this is so disproportionate to the decoration of this gorgeous palace, but it actually happened.

Even Gu Fang and Lian Heng in the inner hall couldn't help being intoxicated by it.

It took a long time before Gu Fang got out of his trance. Looking at the majestic and brave figure of His Majesty the Emperor not far away, a desire suddenly surged in his heart.

He really wanted to see Lian Zong galloping on the battlefield.This is his irreparable loss of Lian Zong's past.

Gu Fang only felt that there was an evil ghost in his heart constantly reminding him that he did not fully own Lian Zong.After all, he only participated in a little bit of Lianzong's life.

However, at the same time, Gu Fang's reason told him.He couldn't see that the day when Lian Zong went into battle to kill the enemy was the right and safe day, because it showed Dayao's universal clarity and stability.

"Don't worry." Gu Fang said to himself, "I will participate in all his future days."

When Lian Heng finally came back to his senses, he saw his sister-in-law, who had been quiet and uncontested, showing a smile that made his heart tremble.

If Lian Heng wanted to describe this smile, he would definitely say that he seemed to see a seasoned hunter showing his ambition towards his prey.

"Sister-in-law?" Lian Heng couldn't help blinking, but when he looked at Gu Fang again, Gu Fang had already recovered his original calmness.

"What's wrong?" Gu Fang sipped his tea unhurriedly.

"No, it's nothing." His Royal Highness Qinyang attributed the scene just now to his own dazzled eyes.He shook his head, and then talked about other things with Gu Fang.

"Da Yao and Da Man will have a battle this time, but I don't know who the emperor brother will send to fight." Lian Heng frowned.

Although Dayao and Daman had conflicts on the border every year because of food and resource issues, it was not a big battle.

The real big battle happened five years ago, when Lian Zong was still the guard at the border.He led the great [-] lions to beat the barbarians who would offend in the future.This is why in recent years there have only been small fights.

This time, however, things have changed.The barbarians touched the bottom line of Lianzong.

This time, the barbarians intend to put pollutants into the water source of the border, so that the entire Jingmen and even the people of Dayao in the border will be infected with the plague.This kind of behavior can no longer be described as a rivalry between the two countries. This is an outright malicious behavior.

Gu Fang didn't speak in succession.He just quietly looked at the tall and stalwart young emperor, and thought to himself, Lian Zong should be the one who most wants to go to the frontier to fight the enemy.

The armor that Lian Zong wears today is not only to encourage the courtiers, but also to commemorate the battlefield that he will never return to.

This is the price that Lian Zong must pay for choosing to come back and accept the throne of emperor.

Gu Fang understood, how could Lian Zong not understand.

Just when Gu Fang was fascinated by looking at Lian Zong, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly turned his head to look at him and Lian Heng.

Lian Zong's eyes turned around Gu Fang and Lian Heng, and finally settled on Gu Fang firmly.

Gu Fang read a smile and a sense of pride from it.

In this regard, he also returned a bright enough smile.

No matter what you think or do, I will always support you.Then I look at you, climbing towards the peak in my heart.

After the dinner in Qionghua Palace, Lian Zong officially announced to the world Daman's bad deeds and his determination to annex Daman.

For the former, almost all the ministers expressed their indignation and their firm determination to contribute their own strength, but for the latter, the generals with high morale agreed, but the civil servants who were overthinking expressed hesitation.

"Your Majesty, the plague is breaking out in Daman territory. If we send troops to Daman at this time, it will harm the health of the soldiers." The new Zhongshu Ling Lin An, who succeeded Shangguancheng, put forward his own thoughts.

"Yes, if the soldiers are infected with the plague and spread to Dayao, the consequences will be disastrous." Minister of the Ministry of Officials agreed with Zhong Shuling.

Regarding this, Zong didn't even lift his eyelids, and said in a very calm voice: "There is no need to worry about the plague. The doctors under Changsun Chi, after treating and observing several people who were accidentally infected with the plague in Jingmen, have basically confirmed it. There are treatment and prevention methods. It’s just that he is only one person, and he still needs help from the hospital.”

Hearing what he said, more than half of the people who originally opposed it suppressed their voices, and no longer had any extra thoughts.

Lian Zong looked around and saw that everyone in the Jinluan Palace was quiet, he raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, and threw another important news to the civil and military officials.

"I have united the forces of the four northern desert tribes and the Yuezhi Kingdom in the Western Regions, and are preparing to encircle and suppress the barbarians."

Just when the ministers were shocked, Lian Heng was also telling Gu Fang about it in the National Teacher Tower.

"I have contacted Frank. He said that there is no outbreak of plague in Yuezhi Kingdom for the time being." Lian Heng said to Gu Fang with his mouth full while eating his snacks.

"You also reminded him that the barbarians might use tricks?" Gu Fang had already expected Lian Heng's "secret communication" with a certain cat king, so he wasn't too surprised at this time.

"Yeah." Lian Heng nodded ignorantly, and he said at the same time, "Frank also told me that he has already contacted the emperor and plans to annex Daman together."

When Gu Fang heard this, his fingers trembled slightly.

He put down the teacup that had just reached his mouth, then looked at Lian Heng's eyes that seemed to be shining without saying a word.

He had a premonition that what Lian Heng said next would shock him.

Sure enough, Lian Heng "lived up to everyone's expectations" and said a bold statement: "Brother Huang should send uncle to the border this time, and I want to go together when the time comes."
