Indulge in the national teacher

Chapter 25

Changsun Ru still remembered that when she and Lian Rujing first met, it was in her father's military camp.As the daughter of the great general who protects the country, she is naturally not just a lady who only knows about female celebrities in poetry and books.

Therefore, Changsun Ru spent a long period of time in the military camp before he became an adult.

At that time, Lian Rujing was a complete playboy who was forced by his father to study in the military camp.

It was the appearance of Changsun Ru that changed the scene of Lian Ru.This heroic girl riding a maroon horse became the target he wanted to chase.

From the age of 12 to the present, the eldest grandson Ru became the most beautiful existence in Lian Rujing's life. They were in love with each other, but they had to separate because of the flames of war at the border.

"Marry me when you come back." Changsun Ru had the boldness and straightforwardness that other ladies didn't have since she was a child.

Trembling, she wrote down her wish in the letter.But Lian Rujing's reply made Changsun Ru extremely painful.

"Let's talk when I get back."

Lian Rujing was not sure whether he would be able to return to the capital alive.

But it was also this decision that made him live in guilt and despair for the rest of his life.

Later, the border was pacified, and Lian Rujing returned to Beijing to be granted the title of first-rank monarch.At this time, the girl he once loved so much has become a high queen.

Lian Rujing can no longer see the delicacy and sharpness she once had in Changsun Ru, but instead she is dignified and cold that makes people feel distanced.

Later, the eldest son Lian Zong and the second son Lian Heng were born one after another, and even Ru Jing buried his unwillingness and love deeply in his heart.

But he didn't expect that the person he secretly guarded would be framed to death, and even Lian Zong was deposed from Beijing and went to the desolate and dangerous border.

At this time, Lian Rujing was angry.He even wanted to rush into the palace to question the aloof emperor, why he didn't cherish his grandson Ru, and why he put the two princes in trouble so easily.

But he can't go.Because Yipin Junhou's mansion is not only his own, but also shared by all his relatives in Rujing.

Lian Rujing couldn't do anything, he could only use the power he had built up at the border to make Lian Zong's life easier when Lian Zong went to the border, and even helped Lian Zong escape several times from the people in the capital. .

Later, Lian Zong became popular at the border, and Lian Rujing helped cover it up, so the spies from the capital did not discover that the eldest son of the emperor had become a great weapon.

Lian Heng, who stayed in Beijing, actually received a lot of care from Lian Rujing secretly.

But Lian Rujing died before seeing Lian Zong come back to take revenge.Maybe it was because he was not reconciled to his own life, or maybe he had too much resentment towards the Supreme Emperor, so he became a ghost instead of going to the underworld.

"I told him at that time that the Changsun family was also in exile, so he was not completely crazy." Emperor Kaiyuan stroked his beard and slowly told Gu Fang and the others.

But the one who listened most seriously was Empress Changsun.

In fact, Changsun Ru didn't blame Lian Rujing at all, because they just wanted to make each other's life better in their own way.She and Lian Rujing just lacked a little bit of luck and fate.

Empress Changsun supported Tan Weihou's arm and stood up from the ground. She looked at her two grown sons tenderly, and said, "In my mother's life, the thing I am most proud of is that I gave birth to two good sons, and the one I don't regret the most ..."

Having said that, she turned her head to look at Tan Weihou, and boldly told her full friendship that she had hidden for so many years: "The thing I don't regret the most is meeting you."

"I am also the same." Marquis Qin Wei tightly held Empress Changsun's hand, his tone firm and serious.

Lian Zong and Lian Heng's eyes were filled with tears, but they tried their best to control their emotions, and managed not to lose their composure in front of their mother.

They babbled about their experiences with Empress Changsun, without missing every detail.

Although Gu Fang couldn't see the appearance of Lian Zong and Lian Heng because of eye problems, he could imagine that the eyes of the two brothers must be brighter than the stars in the sky at this time, and they were full of joy than usual .

He smiled lightly, and didn't talk about the fact that the hands around his waist were constantly shaking.

When it was almost dawn, Kaiyuan Emperor reluctantly interrupted the conversation between their mother and son, and reminded: "It's time."

Lian Zong was silent for a while, then he let go of the hand around Gu Fang's waist, and took Lian Heng to bow deeply to Empress Changsun, saying: "The kindness of birth, I will never forget it."

"Also." Lian Heng choked up.

"Good boys." Empress Changsun stretched out her hand and patted Lian Zong and Lian Heng's heads, then she looked at Tan Weihou who had been waiting for her, walked to his side with a firm smile, and took the initiative to hold Tan Weihou Cold hands.

"Let's go." Empress Changsun said.

Just like that, Empress Changsun and Lian Rujing stood side by side, and slowly disappeared into Changle Palace without leaving a trace.

At this time, Gu Fang's ability to see things with both eyes also returned.As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Lian Zong's red eyes and trembling hands.

He couldn't help reaching out to hold Lian Zong's hand, comforting him: "This is a good thing."

Lian Zong didn't speak, but rested his head on Gu Fang's neck in silence.After a long time, he whispered, "It's really a good thing."

Gu Fang didn't push Lian Zong away immediately, it was rare for him to let him go.He looked at the portrait still hanging in the main hall in a blink of an eye, only to realize that the eldest grandson empress in the portrait had also disappeared.

Although he didn't know why this happened, he had a hunch that it wasn't a bad thing.

Beside them, Lian Heng wiped away his tears, and then thanked Gu Fang: "Thank you, Master Guo." He was referring to the fact that Gu Fang lent him his eyes.

"No need." Gu Fang's tone was flat, but his eyes were still gentle.

They have a good atmosphere here, which is not the case in Qingcheng Temple outside the capital.

Yuqi's apprentice, who is also the current master of Qingcheng temple, suddenly spewed a mouthful of blood out of his mouth.His eldest disciple was so frightened that he hurried forward to support the crumbling master.

"Master, are you alright?" The eldest disciple supported the temple master with one hand, groped to the small table next to him with the other hand, and handed a bowl of blood-red liquid to the temple master's mouth.

The temple master slowly drank the contents of the bowl with the hands of his first disciple, and after adjusting his breath a little, he sat upright and said fiercely: "My nails in the palace have been pulled out."

"How is it possible?" The eldest disciple widened his eyes in disbelief.

If the "nails" in the mouth of the temple master were human beings, the disciple would not be so shocked, but no, these "nails" are the spells that the temple master set up in the palace.

"Humph!" the temple master said angrily, "Before I activated the spell, I managed to get the two brothers Lian Zong and Lian Heng into the set, but in the end they were destroyed, and the person I buried in the palace was also found out. .”

The eldest disciple didn't dare to answer, he looked at the master with red eyes, and kept silent.

"This time the enchantment spell I put on Changsun Ru was also broken, I really underestimated those old immortals." Guanzhu said, he looked at the envelope he put aside again, feeling even more unhappy .

"That trash is really not as good as Lian Zong, it's time for us to think about ourselves." The viewer's eyes flashed brightly, and he asked the big disciple: "Those girls have been trained?"

"Yes." The eldest disciple didn't dare to wipe off the sweat from his forehead, he lowered his head, obediently: "It's just that some disobedient..."

"Then throw it away." The temple master waved his hand impatiently, making his senior disciple retreat.

The eldest disciple naturally didn't dare to stay for long, and left swiftly.

The watcher looked at the green bamboo swaying in the wind outside the window, and thought to himself, he was not his master Yu Qi, who worked hard for the Supreme Emperor and the deposed prince, but ended up with a bad ending.

If he hadn't needed to use the power of the Supreme Emperor and the aborted prince to win over money, he wouldn't have helped the abolished prince to do things.

Now that he has a lot of money and has a lot of powerful handles in his hands, plus someone in the palace is already eyeing him, maybe it's time for him to draw a line with the deposed prince.

Thinking so, the temple master put the envelope handed over by the waste prince into the candlestick and burned it clean.

The temple master had a very good idea here, but Lian Zong was unwilling to do what he wanted.

Before the temple master had fully discussed with the abolished prince, the royal dark guards had an overview of the situation in the Qingcheng Temple, but it would take time for the dark guards to report back to Lian Zong in the deeper places.

Lian Zong also knew that this matter should not be rushed, so he asked the hidden guards to retreat after asking a few words.

At this time, the voice of Zhang Pu discussing with Xiao Gongren entered the study room of Qianyuan Hall.

"What's wrong?" Lian Zong called Zhang Pu.

I saw Zhang Pu happily telling Lian Zong: "Your Majesty, it's snowing! It's the first snow this year."

When Lian Zong heard it, he suddenly realized.

It turned out to be snowing.

The No. 20 five days after the first snow every year is the day of offering sacrifices to heaven.The national teacher needs to lead the descendants of the royal family to sacrifice to heaven at the national teacher tower, and the civil and military officials also have to kneel outside the Golden Luan Hall to pray for good luck and good weather for the whole year next year.

"Go and inform the Bureau of Internal Affairs, it's time to get ready." Lian Zong told Zhang Pu, "I'll go and talk to the National Teacher in person."

"Yes." Zhang Pu backed away with a smile on his face.

Not long after Zhang Pu left, Lian Zong changed into thicker clothes, and then walked out from the side door of Qianyuan Hall.

As soon as he went out, he saw goose-feather-like snowflakes falling from the sky, and finally fell gently on the ground, and soon a thick layer was piled up on the ground, on the roof, and on the trees.

This is a completely different scene from the frontier.The snow at the border is always accompanied by strong winds, howling and attacking the entire border, making all the soldiers guarding the border tremble, and some even died in the blizzard.

Before Lian Zong arrived at the National Teacher Tower, Gu Fang already knew about it.It's not that he has clairvoyance, it's just that since the snow started to fall, Emperor Kaiyuan, King Jin, and King Yan were very excited.They have already run several times inside and outside the National Teacher Tower.Naturally, he knew Lian Zong's movements.

"Your Majesty is here." Gu Fang was sitting by the stove in a white coat, warming his hands while greeting Lian Zong faintly.

Lian Zong looked at the furry collar around his neck, smiled secretly, and then said to Gu Fang calmly, "I'm here to enjoy the snow with you."

Gu Fang raised his head, this is different from what he said.
