Chapter 37
Chapter 37
Once the abolished prince fell, all the courtiers who attached to him and supported him turned their backs one after another.They scrambled to report what they had done to Lian Zong, expressing that they were willing to plead guilty, and only begged His Majesty to let their family members go.
Those courtiers who have daughters who are empresses in the palace hope that His Majesty will not anger them.
Although they were talking to each other exhaustedly and crying, Lian Zong was unmoved, he just sat on the chair and watched coldly.
Even if these people pleaded guilty, they did not forget to get involved with the abolished prince, as if without the "bewitching" and "instigating" of the abolished prince, they were honest and honest officials.
And the most important point is that they all forgot the crimes they committed in Qingcheng Temple.
They "don't remember", but Lian Zong remembers clearly.
He propped his head on his right hand, and tapped lightly on the desk with his left hand, saying: "I can feel the loyalty of all the gentlemen."
Even after this sentence was finished, the faces of those ministers showed ecstatic expressions.But it didn't take long for them to be happy, when Lian Zong said again: "I have something to ask you all."
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at each other in blank dismay, a bad premonition suddenly rose in their hearts.
Sure enough, the next moment, His Majesty the Emperor said a place name that terrified them - Qingcheng Temple.
Lian Zong looked at everyone with a smile: "I don't know if all the ministers know about this place."
For a moment, all the courtiers kneeling in front of Lian Zong thought about the night they were left in Mingxin Lake, and the sound of the wind that seemed to be accompanied by screams.
Some people's psychological qualities are really bad, and they immediately couldn't maintain the kneeling posture, and fell down on the clean and clean floor of Qianyuan Hall.
Lian Zong was still smiling, as if he didn't see the courtiers' gaffe, and continued to break their defenses with words.
On the other hand, after listening to Emperor Kaiyuan and the others about how to fight against the master of the Qingcheng Temple, Gu Fang was happy that such a cancer had been removed, but on the other hand he was worried that the sudden collapse of the Qingcheng Temple would leave a lasting impression on the people. bad influence.
As soon as he uttered this doubt, Lian Heng calmly persuaded him from the side: "Don't worry, sister-in-law Huang, brother Huang has his own way."
That's right, even if His Royal Highness King Qinyang couldn't see or hear Emperor Kaiyuan and the others, he still insisted on staying in the National Teacher Tower.
Although his heart was itching like being scratched by a cat, he didn't show it at all on his face.
Gu Fang raised his eyebrows, he really couldn't get used to calling him "Emperor's Wife" without moving.But looking at King Qinyang's faceless expression, Gu Fang knew that this problem should be left to Lian Zong to solve.
And compared to Gu Xinxin who was a little unaccustomed to it, Emperor Kaiyuan almost didn't jump up after hearing this name, even though he never touched the ground.
Prince Jin and Prince Yan had no choice but to grab the arms of their royal brother from left to right, and then persuaded: "We are all old men, why should we care about the things between these juniors."
After the two chattered, Emperor Kaiyuan caressed his clothes resentfully, snorted, then turned his head and left.
This matter is overturned.
Prince Jin and Prince Yan nodded with Gu Fang dumbfoundedly, and then chased after Emperor Kaiyuan.
Gu Fang watched the three ancestors leave.When they were no longer in sight, Gu Fang lazily lay on his side on the small couch, and issued an order to evict Lian Heng.
"His Royal Highness Qin Yang, don't stay with me forever." Gu Fang said: "Recently, His Majesty must have many things that His Highness needs to help deal with."
Lian Heng scratched the back of his head, seeing that Gu Fang really didn't want to talk to him, so he put his hands behind his head and left the National Teacher Tower humming.
On his way to Qianyuan Hall, he happened to meet Shangguan Guifei and other concubines who were heading towards the Imperial Garden with many court ladies.
Seeing how unhurried they were, Lian Heng knew without thinking that these ladies still didn't know what happened during the sacrifice.Otherwise, I wouldn't be so comfortable.
He gave a smirk, then avoided them and walked away.
He didn't want to have anything to do with these women.Otherwise, if nothing happens, it might cause a fishy body.
It's a pity that although Lian Heng walked fast, Shangguan Guifei still saw his back.
She looked at the back of Lian Heng leaving in a hurry, feeling uncomfortable no matter what she thought.She also always felt that there was a reunion in her heart.
"I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable." The imperial concubine said, "Go to the Royal Garden by yourself. I will go back first."
After finishing speaking, she ignored the thoughts of other concubines and led them directly to her palace.
Halfway through, the imperial concubine bit her lower lip and ordered to her confidant: "I want to know what happened in today's sacrifice!"
"Empress?" The confidant of the imperial concubine empress looked at her master in puzzlement, not understanding what she meant.
"If you are told to inquire, then go!" The imperial concubine stared.
The confidant maid was bluffed by her and hurried away.
In fact, they don't need to spend so much trouble, because even if Shangguan Guifei asks people to inquire about it, they will soon lose their mind to think about it.
Lian Zong sent people to each concubine's palace to deliver a piece of imperial decree.
"Are you really going to do this?" Gu Fang looked indifferently at His Majesty the Emperor who was running to the National Master Tower after dealing with the political affairs.
"I think I'm merciful enough." Lian Zong blinked, wrapped Gu Fang in his arms and refused to let go.
In order to deal with the follow-up matters left over from the abolition of the crown prince, he has been busy for three days in a row, so he naturally misses Gu Fang very much.
Lian Zong rested his chin on Gu Fang's shoulder, and said, "Their fathers have the lives of one or two girls in their hands. Who can guarantee that they won't be exposed to the viciousness? I dare not take risks."
Lian Zong paused, rubbed his face affectionately against Gu Fang's, and then continued: "I just let them choose between the ancient Buddha who is always with the green lamp and the one who will marry out of the palace. It's very democratic, isn't it?"
Gu Fang knew that he couldn't argue with Lian Zong on this point.
What.And in the bottom of his heart, he doesn't want to have graceful figures wandering around Lian Zong all the time.
"This may damage your reputation." After thinking about it, Gu Fang still said such a sentence.
No, the harem concubines have been in the palace for half a year, and none of them have been favored by His Majesty the Emperor.His Majesty the Emperor could sit still in front of all the delicate and beautiful ladies, either Liu Xiahui, or some unspeakable ailments.
"So, you have to be nice to me." Lian Zong said to Gu Fang pretending to be wronged.
Gu Fang stared sideways at Lian Zong, then sneered and pushed away the big head that was resting on his shoulder and refused to leave.He stood up and walked towards the inner room without any hesitation.
He's really out of his mind to worry that this man will be hit.
Behind Gu Fang, Lian Zong couldn't help clapping his hands and burst out laughing.After laughing enough, he also went to the back room.
He always wants to find some comfort for himself, doesn't he?After all, he is now a big hat.
However, those concubines who received the imperial decree did not want to give the emperor this hat at all.
"Wow!" Shangguan Guifei swept all the porcelain placed on the cabinet to the ground.
She couldn't believe that one day she would be sent home by His Majesty the Emperor.
What does it mean to choose one between the ancient Buddha with the green lantern in the palace and the remarriage outside the palace?
She doesn't want to choose one!
"Hurry up and find Ben Gong's father! What happened!" The noble concubine Shangguan was going crazy.
Her confidant didn't dare to delay, and ran towards the gate of the palace in a stumbling manner.
Concubine Shangguan was waiting for her father to explain to her, but Mr. Zhongshu Ling Shangguan didn't have this time.
After the sacrificial ceremony was over that day, he watched with his own eyes many colleagues who were originally on the same front as him now went to the Qianyuan Hall together.
Shangguancheng also wanted to go, but he took it back when he stepped halfway out.
He is the mainstay of the abolished prince camp, and he knows many things about the abolished prince, and he knows the most about Qingcheng Temple.
What if His Majesty the Emperor asked him to voluntarily identify his party because of his confession?
Shangguancheng thought he didn't have the courage.After doing something that offended others, even if he survived by chance, it would be hard for him to live in the future.
He wholeheartedly wanted to meet His Majesty the Emperor alone, but he never found the opportunity.After such a delay, three days passed. Seeing that the first morning court after the sacrifice was about to arrive, Shangguan City was in a hurry.
Just when Zhongshu was making adults in a dilemma, Lian Zong issued an imperial decree so that he no longer had to be embarrassed.
Zhongshu Ling Shangguancheng was stripped of all his titles and official positions, and was put in prison.Those courtiers and dignitaries who were close to the deposed prince and intended to rebel were also treated the same as him.
In fact, even without Zhongshu ordering Shangguancheng to surrender, Lian Zong could still find out all the ministers and dignitaries who were involved in the abolition of the prince and Qingcheng Temple.
First, Lian Zong has been paying attention to these things for a long time, and second, Lian Zong still has Hong Yun's testimony and identification.
Unlike the collapse of the ministers and dignitaries who received the imperial decree, those girls who were tortured in Qingcheng Temple were finally liberated.
Lian Heng, who brought the imperial army to Qingchengguan, looked at the girls who showed joy and pain on their faces. While he was happy, he was also worried about their future lives.
Although His Majesty the Emperor said that he would be responsible for their future lives, this is not a long-term solution.
Lian Heng said on his own initiative: "There is just a shortage of people in my mansion. If you have the wish, just follow me."
The wind by the Mingxin Lake was getting stronger and stronger, drowning the girls' cries.But Lian Heng still heard sporadic voices responding to him.Among them was the voice of Hong Yun who came with him.
Lian Heng felt a little better in his heart, but he couldn't really feel happy.
But life still has to go on.The strength of these girls also caught Lian Zong and others' attention.
Just when the influence left by the abolished prince and Qingcheng Temple was subsided little by little, and Lian Zong finally gathered all the power, a "word of mouth" from the Supreme Emperor broke the tranquility.
"Since he wants to see me, I'll go see him too." Lian Zong held Gu Fang's hand tightly, with a cold expression.

In the past two days, I can only be an "aphasia". Everyone must, must take care of your health. . .
