Indulge in the national teacher

Chapter 10

Gu Fang couldn't believe what the old King Ning Ping said for a moment. In a trance, a piece of news he had heard suddenly flashed across his mind.Gu Xue once discussed marriage with a prince and aristocrat, but before the marriage was finalized, the Gu family was in trouble.Thinking about it now, the person who talked about marriage with Gu Xue should be someone from Ningping Palace.

What the old King Ningping said next also confirmed Gu Fang's conjecture.

"It was my little grandson who was discussing marriage with Miss Gu." The old King Ning Ping sighed, "I thought that this marriage had not been settled, and the Ning Ping Palace had escaped a catastrophe. But my bastard son has not yet Stop thinking about rebellion!"

The old prince looked at Gu Fang sincerely, hoping that he could help him.If the Ningping Palace was angered by Lian Zong because of Gu Xue, then all his years of management during his lifetime would have been in vain.

Gu Fang can understand the old prince's worries about the younger generation, but at the same time, he is more curious about how King Ning Ping took Gu Xue away, and why he took Gu Xue away in the first place?They wouldn't have thought that Lian Zong was going to be drafted at that time, so they planned ahead so early, right?

Regarding this point, the old prince said that he himself was not very clear about King Ningping's original plan.He came to Gu Fang this time just hoping to stop his bastard son's plan before they succeeded.

Gu Fang frowned in embarrassment.He knew that if Gu Xue entered the palace, it would be bad for Lian Zong.But he really didn't know how to stop this matter.So under hesitation, he didn't immediately agree.

"If Gu Xue participates in the draft, and is even selected. Then, National Teacher, what do you think the Gu family will do to His Majesty the current Emperor? If something happens to His Majesty, how will you deal with yourself as a National Teacher?" The old prince saw With Gu Fang like this, he could only persuade again with a solemn expression.

I have to say that what the old prince said touched Gu Xin's biggest worry.How could he not know what Gu Xue would do to Lian Zong?How could Gu Xue, a young lady who was well-clothed and well-fed, be soft-hearted when faced with the culprit who almost caused her to be exiled to the frontier?

And he, Gu Fang, probably didn't have a second chance to escape the catastrophe.

Thinking of this, Gu Fang sighed deeply, and then promised the old prince: "I will try my best to stop Gu Xue on the day of the draft."

Upon receiving Gu Fang's answer, the old prince smiled in relief.At the same time, he told Gu Fang that Emperor Kaiyuan had already seen the changed Gu Xue, so Gu Fang didn't have to worry about not being able to recognize her.

The draft is the day after tomorrow.Just when Gu Fang was worried about how to get a foot in the draft, Qinyang Wang Lianheng appeared in the National Teacher Tower and brought him good news.

Lian Heng conveyed Lian Zong's sudden order to let Gu Fang watch the draft, and then, under Gu Fang's cold eyes, Shi Shiran sat on the master's chair in the study and refused to leave.

Gu Fang couldn't drive him away with great fanfare, so he could only helplessly look around in the middle of the study room, feeling uneasy.

"The tea in the National Teacher Pagoda is unique." Lian Heng took a teacup and sniffed it contentedly.He was really curious why Brother Huang would suddenly make such an oral order.Since it was useless to ask Lian Zong, he had no choice but to bother the other party?

"Probably because it was soaked in the water that the ancestors drank." Although Gu Fang didn't see Lian Heng's intentions, he also knew that he had other purposes, so he deliberately said such words to scare Lian Heng.

Sure enough, after hearing Gu Fang's cold answer, Lian Heng's curiosity was greatly reduced, and he even felt that someone was watching him from behind.

In fact, his feeling was not wrong, because Emperor Kaiyuan and the others were standing not far away, grieving over this lazy descendant.

Gu Fang felt that this King of Qinyang still had a lot of merits.Although he doesn't like Lian Heng always coming to him to disturb his peace, but Lian Heng's concern for Lian Zong is what Gu Fang envies the most.

So with a soft heart, Gu Fang let Lian Heng spend a lot of food in the National Teacher Tower before leaving.

After Lian Heng left, Gu Fang stopped Emperor Kaiyuan and the others with twinkling eyes, and just wanted to ask them if Lian Zong's verbal instructions had anything to do with them, but Emperor Kaiyuan dismissed him with the excuse of teaching him the art of stargazing.

When Gu Fang thought about it, the draft began.

Gu Fang sat in the sedan chair sent by Lian Zong to pick me up, and while discussing Gu Xue's current appearance with Emperor Kaiyuan in a low voice, he thought about how to quietly prevent Gu Xue from participating in the draft.

He knew that it was impossible for an independent emperor to give up his choice rashly by relying on his own rhetoric.So after thinking about it, Gu Fang decided that it was the best way to prevent Gu Xue from seeing Lian Zong.But before he met Gu Xue, he couldn't make a final decision.

Emperor Kaiyuan naturally saw the worry of his disciples, but he also knew that there was no use in haste.He thought that if it really didn't work, let him scare Gu Xue and make Gu Xue do some bad things.But this is the next choice, so he didn't tell Gu Fang who was frowning.

"I'll go see where Gu Xue is." Emperor Kaiyuan floated out of the sedan chair.

"Trouble master." Gu Fang did not refuse.

Not long after, they arrived at Shangyang Palace, which was used for the draft.Gu Fang saluted Lian Zong first, and then said hello to Lian Heng.

"It's finally time for the national teacher." Lian Heng was still smiling.He was sitting on the seat on the lower left of Lian Zong, with his legs crossed, without any posture at all.

Gu Fang nodded slightly as a response to Lian Heng's teasing, then went straight to the seat that Lian Zong arranged for him and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, Lian Zong ordered Zhang Pu to place some snacks on the low table in front of Gu Fang's seat.

Gu Fang nodded his head to show Lian Zong's kindness.Lian Zong also smiled and waved his hands.

At this moment, a female voice suddenly came from the back hall of Shangyang Palace.Hearing the noisy voice, although the smile on Lian Zong's face was still there, it became a little fake.

"Zhang Pu, go and see what's going on." Lian Zong immediately ordered Zhang Pu.

"Yes." Zhang Pu quickly went to the apse, and then walked back to Lian Zong to answer amidst the louder and louder cursing in the apse.

"Wild|species, evil sons, committing chaos..."

Gu Fang couldn't help frowning when he heard those unsavory words, and when he looked at Lian Zong, who had become indifferent, and Lian Heng, who was full of disgust, he knew there was something in it.

"Brother Huang is too soft-hearted, why do you keep this woman in the palace? Let her go out of the palace with her son." Lian Heng said disdainfully to his brother.

"Don't talk nonsense." Lian Zong reprimanded Lian Heng.

Only then did Gu Fang confirm the identity of the woman who was yelling, Li Shi, the mother of the abolished prince, the noble concubine.The concubine is still living in the palace, not imprisoned with the aborted prince, because Lian Zong wants to use the concubine's life to contain the aborted prince and the Li family when necessary.

On weekdays, Lian Zong did not treat Concubine Toffee badly, and gave her enough freedom.However, the concubine obviously didn't recognize her situation, otherwise she wouldn't have rushed out at this time, and made a big fuss.

Gu Fang quietly raised one hand to cover one ear, thinking that Lian Zong should not let Zhang Pu go, but should go by himself.With the threatening aura on him, the empress dowager must not dare to mess around again.

"Hey, why is Zong'er's evil spirit getting stronger again?" At this time, Emperor Kaiyuan suddenly appeared.

Gu Fang had an idea, he looked left and right, and squirmed his lips quickly at Emperor Kaiyuan: "Master, have you found Gu Xue?"

"I found it. The name she bears now belongs to the daughter of the Li family." Emperor Kaiyuan stroked his beard.

Gu Xin was overjoyed, thinking that this really helped me a lot.

The Li family made their fortune by relying on the concubine.If it weren't for the fact that the head of the Li family was aware of current affairs, the former queen died, Lian Zong was exiled from Beijing, and he hadn't contributed to these matters, and he had lost contact with the concubine, then Lian Zong would not be able to accommodate the Li family when he returned this time. of.

In addition, the rest of the Li family are decent and good at studying, so they are well-known among the students all over the world.Therefore, it is not easy to deprive Li's daughter of the opportunity in this draft.However, judging from the fact that Gu Xue has given the name of Miss Li's family, there is probably something wrong with the current Li family.

"Master, can you make the concubine make a bigger fuss?" Gu Fang said softly.

"Yes." Emperor Kaiyuan understood Gu Fang's meaning, and happily accepted the errand.

While Gu Fang was talking with Emperor Kaiyuan, Lian Zong sent Zhang Pu to the apse again. This time, I don't know what Zhang Pu told Lian Zong, but the concubine's voice finally dropped.

But this is different from what Gu Fang wanted.He calmly glanced at Lian Zong who was sitting on the dragon chair and didn't know what he was thinking, thinking that if Lian Zong didn't completely hate the women of the Li family, how could he make Gu Xue completely lose the chance to appear here?

Lian Zong was already impatient with the draft, so he saw that the concubine had finally calmed down, so he asked Zhang Pu to announce the start of the draft.

Zhang Pu accepted the order knowingly, and then read the roster to let the noble ladies waiting outside Shangyang Palace come in one by one.

Before Lian Zong could say anything, Lian Heng began to comment on these girls with great interest.When he made such a mess, many girls immediately lowered their heads, looking shy.

Lian Zong didn't think much of his younger brother's nonsense, and he was even in a better mood.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Suddenly, a woman's scream resounded through the sky.While covering his ears, Gu Fang lamented that Emperor Kaiyuan really did his best in handling things.

"What's going on?" Lian Zong was finally furious.He slapped the armrest of the chair heavily, and stared at Zhang Pu angrily.

"The servant did tell the concubine according to His Majesty's instructions. The concubine did indeed calm down just now and agreed to go back. Now for some reason..." The sweat on Zhang Pu's face was dripping uncontrollably, He didn't care about any rules and complained in his heart about the empress dowager's inconvenience.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"Lian Zong finally stood up unbearably, and walked towards the apse with big strides.

"National teacher, are you together?" Lian Heng, who was following Lian Zong, stopped in front of Gu Fang, and he proposed to Gu Fang.

"Okay." Gu Fang also stood up.

All of them have left, and the draft has temporarily stopped.But no one dared to say anything.Those of them who are still serving in the palace know the methods of His Majesty the Emperor.

Gu Fang followed Lian Heng to the apse, and saw the virtuous concubine sitting on the ground crying non-stop.The hairpins on her head were pulled off one by one by her and thrown on the ground, and the delicate dress was also in tatters under her own pulling.

"Zhang Pu, take the concubine down." Lian Zong was very upset because the concubine sneaked out, but now that something like this happened again, his blood couldn't help rolling in his body.

Gu Fang immediately saw that the evil spirit surrounding Lian Zong became active.That posture of claws and claws seemed to want to include all of them.

Just when Zhang Pu came forward with the guards, the concubine suddenly stopped her crazy behavior and stared at Lian Zong quietly instead.She smiled, with the corners of her mouth turned up, seemingly relieved, but also gloating: "The daughters of our Li family are all phoenixes, the emperor doesn't know about it, right?"

As soon as she said this, not to mention that Zhang Pu went to hold her hand and stayed in the air, everyone fell silent.For a moment, except for the sound of breathing, the silence was terrifying.

The air seemed to freeze there.

Surprised, Gu Fang looked for Emperor Kaiyuan, but he couldn't find him.This is different from what they negotiated.

He looked at Lian Zong and Lian Heng again.The ugly faces of the two made Gu Fang understand at once that what the concubine said involved the secrets in the palace.

But these are not important now, after the concubine said such words, no matter whether the Li family is innocent or not, Lian Zong will not let the Li family daughter into the palace again.

Sure enough, the next moment, Lian Zong spoke out the fate of Li's daughter in an almost cold voice: "Zhang Pu, pass on the order that Li's daughter will not enter the royal family from generation to generation."

Zhang Pu didn't dare to delay, and hurried out with his head down.

"Let the national teacher see the joke." After all this was resolved, Lian Zong saw Gu Fang standing aside with downcast eyes.

Gu Fang was taken aback for a moment, and as soon as he realized it, he could only see a corner of Lian Zong's imperial robe passing in front of him, and then disappeared on the other side of the palace wall.

The play of the draft has to be sung.
