Indulge in the national teacher

Chapter 40

Gu Fang simply left, but Lian Zong couldn't just leave like that.

He called Li Mingde and said, "Continue to chant."

After Li Mingde left with Lian Zong's instructions, Lian Zong checked the deployment of the forbidden army around Mingxin Lake, and after confirming that there was no problem, he went to the place where Gu Fang and Lian Heng were, which was the closest to the female corpses. shore.

Strange to say, after the monks and Taoist priests chanted the scriptures for about half an hour, Gu Fang found that the resentment entrenched on the female corpse was less.

Just when he was about to take a closer look, Lian Zong just arrived.

Gu Fang hurriedly told His Majesty the Emperor about this discovery.

Lian Zong was naturally very happy when he heard this, and he hurriedly sent an order to ask a leader to call some monks and Taoist priests to recite the scriptures together in the famous temples and Taoist temples in the capital.

Of course, they will not be treated badly.Lian Zong and the royal family still respected these practitioners who had real talents and real learning, and sincerely devoted themselves to Buddhism and Taoism.

"Go and take out a copy of scriptures and classics from the imperial scripture library, and pass them on to those who recite the scriptures." Lian Zong pondered for a while before instructing.

The leader of the forbidden army immediately went to execute it after receiving the order.It was Gu Fang who asked curiously: "The royal family still has a Buddhist scripture pavilion?"

"Yes." Lian Zong smiled indulgently, and he approached Gu Fang calmly, and when Gu Fang was not paying attention, he had already joined hands with him.

Gu Fang didn't break free this time, he felt the warmth from Lian Zong, and his heart was at ease.

Seeing this, Lian Zong leaned closer, and while moving towards Gu Fang, he said, "If you want to go and have a look, I'll take you there someday when you're free."

"Okay." Gu Fang replied in a low voice.

Lian Heng couldn't see it from the sidelines.But just as he wanted to declare his existence, he was blinded by a sudden gust of wind blowing in the lake.

Lian Zong and Gu Fang were naturally blown by the gust of wind.

Lian Zong quickly pulled Gu Fang into his arms, and at the same time pressed Gu Fang's head into his arms.

He listened to the whistling wind in his ears, and he was keenly aware that besides the shaking of branches by the lake, there were also these appalling groans and groans.

The groans and groans became clearer and shriller, like someone who died unjustly, broke free from the shackles of hell, and returned to the human world to complain about his grievances and resentment.

Although Gu Fang's head was pressed into Lian Zong's arms, he still heard the miserable cry, and he immediately realized that it was the ghosts of those dead girls.

He struggled to raise his head from His Majesty's arms, then leaned into Lian Zong's ear, and said softly, "The girls are here."

Lian Zong was taken aback.It just so happened that the strong wind had passed at this time, and he quickly turned his attention to the female corpses in Mingxin Lake.

Gu Fang was right.Sure enough, the ghosts of those girls came.

They also still retain the appearance before death.

Gu Fang could clearly see the abuse and distress they had suffered from their exposed skin.He looked at the blood and tears flowing from the eyes of these girls, and the sorrow and pain that could not be erased even by death, and his heart ached.

Lian Zong also saw this, and he felt the same way as Gu Fang.Even though His Majesty the Emperor had been on the battlefield for a long time and was used to seeing life and death, he still couldn't restrain the anger in his heart.

At this time, Gu Fang and Lian Zong were envious of His Highness King Qinyang who couldn't see anything.

It's not like Lian Heng didn't see anything at all.When the wind was blowing just now, he actually vaguely heard something, but before he heard it clearly, the wind died down.

At this moment, following the gazes of his imperial brother and Gu Fang, he could only see clusters of black mist gathering there, and he couldn't see the rest clearly.

But when Lian Heng saw the serious and sad expressions on the faces of Lian Zong and Gu Fang, he suddenly didn't want to see them anymore, and even felt a little glad that he couldn't see them.

The resentful souls of those girls became more vivid after they condensed into porcelain.

One of them even slowly floated in front of Gu Fang and the others, and then knelt down little by little.

Following her actions, the other female ghosts also knelt down one by one.

Gu Fang only heard the female ghost closest to them say: "Many, thank you benefactor. Just, just, just ask benefactor to take our dead bodies and bury them properly."

After the female ghost finished speaking, she raised her face covered with blood and tears and looked straight at Gu Fang, her eyes full of begging.

How could Gu Fang not agree.After he and Lian Zong exchanged glances, they solemnly nodded towards all the female ghosts.

After seeing Gu Fang nodding, the female ghosts slowly stood up, and their souls became more and more transparent.

Gu Fang knew that they were relieved, and they would no longer be haunted by the nightmare they experienced in the Qingcheng Temple.But even so, he was still very uncomfortable.

Even Zong felt uncomfortable, he held Gu Fang's hand tightly, and put Gu Fang's head on his shoulder, saying, "This kind of thing will never happen in the future."

This is a promise from the emperor, a promise to all subjects under his rule.

The wind is blowing again on Mingxin Lake.But this time is different from just now, this time the wind is not as biting and cold as it should be in winter, but it is warmer and softer.

Suddenly, Gu Fang and the others heard the sound of chanting sutras, and it became louder and louder.It turned out that the procession team left the practice field and started chanting sutras around Mingxin Lake.

"Brother Huang, now we can meet those female corpses." Lian Heng got the news from the imperial army who was in charge of salvaging the corpses, and immediately reported to His Majesty the Emperor.

"After the corpses are recovered, notify the whole city to claim them. In the end, whether they are claimed or not, they will be buried according to the specifications of the descendants of the lord." Lian Zong sighed, and then said to Lian Heng.

"I'll take care of it!" Lian Heng clenched his fists and his voice was firm.

"Of course I believe you." Lian Zong patted Lian Heng's shoulder, and then he showed a smile similar to the usual one.

At this point, there is not much use for Lian Zong and Gu Fang to stay here. Coupled with safety issues, the two of them will return to the palace soon.

Because of what happened today, even though he wanted to stay with Gu Fang in the National Teacher Tower, he was ridiculed by Gu Fang and kicked out.

Gu Fang said coldly: "Who said to take me out? Do you still expect to deal with government affairs after arriving at the palace?"

Lian Zong smiled gently. Firstly, he saw that Gu Fang's mood had improved a lot and felt relieved. Secondly, he saw that Gu Fang was also looking forward to going out with him, so he was naturally happy.

After Lian Zong left, Gu Fang came to the ancestral hall on the fourth floor of the National Teacher Tower, staring at the neatly placed memorial tablets in a daze.

At this time, Emperor Kaiyuan and the others also came back from their old friends.

"Why are you staying here?" Emperor Kaiyuan asked his apprentice doubtfully.

Gu Fang sighed, and then explained today's events to the three ancestors one by one.

Emperor Kaiyuan and the others sighed after hearing this.They all feel sad and sorry for what happened to these girls, and they are also angry that there is a scum like Qingchengguan Guanzhu in the world.

"Fortunately, I was the one who served, otherwise that scum would have escaped." Emperor Kaiyuan recalled the scene of them dueling with the temple master that day, with lingering fears in his heart.

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Prince Jin stopped Emperor Kaiyuan's words, and he comforted the pale Gu Fang: "It's all over, don't think about it anymore."

"Yes, yes." Emperor Kaiyuan realized that his apprentice's expression was strange, and he quickly comforted him: "This kind of thing will not happen again, you have to have confidence in Zong'er's ability."

"I'm not worried about His Majesty's ability to govern the country, but he is a person, and there are always things he can't see." Gu Fang's expression gradually became firm, "I want to establish an intelligence organization for Your Majesty."

Speaking of this, Gu Fang looked at Emperor Kaiyuan and the others, with a little pleading in his eyes: "Master, two seniors, I need your help."

Kaiyuan Emperor suddenly realized, he said: "Fanger, do you want to build an organization made up of ghosts?"

"That's right!" Gu Fang stood tall, with an indescribably extraordinary bearing.

But at this moment, Lian Zong didn't know that His Excellency the National Teacher was planning a big move.

His Majesty the Emperor, who worked hard to deal with the government affairs, suddenly felt a chill behind his back, and there was an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

At this moment, Zhang Pu walked into Lian Zong's study lightly, and told His Majesty the Emperor, "Someone in the Small Buddha Hall reported that Shangguan Layman wanted to see you."

The Shangguan Jushi mentioned in Zhang Pukou is the former Shangguan noble concubine.

After receiving the imperial edict from Lian Zong, the imperial concubine did not choose to leave the palace to remarry, but resolutely stayed in the palace.

Then according to His Majesty's will, she can only stay with the ancient Qingdeng Buddha in the Small Buddha Hall for a lifetime.

But she used to be His Majesty's concubine after all, and those people in the small Buddhist hall are not easy to offend her, and they usually let her go.

This time, Shangguan Layman sent someone to send a letter to Zhang Pu, saying that he wanted to see His Majesty.

Even after listening to Zhang Pu's words, he didn't raise his eyes, and said to Zhang Pu: "I think you, the head of internal affairs, have done your best. You can't handle such a small matter well."

His Majesty's tone was calm and gentle, but Zhang Pu heard it was not like that.He was sweating all over for no reason, and then complained in his heart that he was lacking in mind.

So Zhang Pu immediately withdrew, not daring to disturb Lian Zong anymore.

In fact, Lian Zong was not very angry.But this time it was a wake-up call for him.

He is the emperor, if he is not complete, a woman with no eyesight will come to him, or some "upright" minister will write a letter asking him to re-draft and enrich the harem.

It would be fine if he didn't make love with Gu Fang, and now that the two of them are together, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want to have a mess between him and Gu Fang.

Lian Zong was thinking about his and Gu Fang's future here, but something unexpected happened to his silly brother.
