Indulge in the national teacher

Chapter 3 (Revised)

Different from what Gu Fang saw three days ago, Lian Zong was wearing a luxurious prince's court dress, and the saber at his waist was replaced with a decorative sword inlaid with colorful gems.

If it wasn't for Lian Zong's fierce aura as usual, Gu Fang wouldn't have dared to admit that this noble young man walking in the sun would be the decisive and stern Marshal.

"All the members of the Gu family have been exiled." Lian Zong told Gu Fang the fate of the Gu family as soon as he came up.

"I'm also from the Gu family." Gu Fang narrowed his eyes and looked at this radiant eldest prince.

He was a little surprised that the Gu family was not executed.Just because of the deep blood feud between Lian Zong and the Gu family, how could Lian Zong let them go?

"Do you know why you are still alive?" Lian Zong moved a little closer to the cage.

"Because you need a smart person?" Gu Fang "returned" the riddle left to me by the guard yesterday to the real question maker.

Lian Zong seemed to be pleased, and there was an obvious smile on his face: "If that man knows that the person he personally chose is like this, will he regret it?"

Gu Fang doesn't have the leisure to play guessing games with Lian Zong now, he directly asks why Lian Zong didn't exile him together.

Facing Gu Fang's question, Lian Zong didn't answer immediately.He just stood there smiling and watching Gu Fang getting more and more anxious.Then when Gu Fang couldn't bear it anymore, Lian Zong suddenly took out the key and opened the cage.

The progress of the matter was completely beyond Gu Fang's expectation. In a daze, he could only let Lian Zong grab his wrist and lead him out of the cage.

"It's better to clean yourself up before talking to me." Gu Fang who came back to his senses swore, he definitely heard the disgust in Lian Zong's tone.

He twisted his wrist unhappily at that time, trying to get rid of Lian Zong's restraint, but no matter how he struggled, Lian Zong's hands were as strong as shackles.

They came to a tent with such awkward and strange postures.

Lian Zong opened the tent, revealing a steaming bucket and a low table beside the bucket.There is also a new set of clothes and a small incense burner on the low table.

"I'll give you time to wash yourself off with a stick of incense." Lian Zong waved his hand lightly, and took Gu Fang to the tent, and he left after saying this.

After Gu Fang stood firm, his eyes were glued to the bucket and he couldn't leave it.Without much hesitation, he took off his dirty clothes and soaked them in the bucket.

The warm feeling brought by the hot water at just the right temperature swept away his fatigue for a while.Gu Fang involuntarily relaxed, closed his eyes, and enjoyed this rare comfort.

But that's all.

Gu Fang woke up quickly, cleaned himself up calmly and quickly, and then changed into the clothes Lian Zong had prepared for him.

After all, Lian Zong was born as a prince, and the clothes he prepared were very particular about the fabric and tailoring.This is probably the most expensive "prison uniform" in the world, right?

"Gu Fang, you are really lucky." Gu Fang couldn't help but sigh with emotion as he fiddled with the sleeves of his clothes.

At this time, Lian Zong's voice suddenly sounded: "It's really good luck."

As soon as Gu Fang turned his head, he saw Lian Zong walking in with a warm smile on his face.

Seeing Lian Zong approaching him a little bit calmly, Gu Fangqiang braced himself to face Lian Zong.

"Follow me." Lian Zong didn't say much nonsense, he glanced at Gu Fang and ordered.

Gu Fang knew that the current situation could not allow him to refuse, so he followed Lian Zong without any objection.In his heart, he was even more confused about Lian Zong's series of actions.

Gu Fang silently followed Lian Zong into the waiting carriage, and then watched Lian Zong take out the teacup and kettle from under the seat contentedly.

"Would you like a drink?" Lian Zong looked like an aristocrat who was going on an outing, and he didn't feel how strange the combination of him and Gu Fang was at this moment.

"No." Gu Fang refused coldly.This feeling of not knowing anything and being led by the nose is really terrible.He felt that he was going to go crazy all the time, but when he saw Lian Zong's smiling eyes, he was unconvinced and forcibly held back.

After traveling for about half an hour, the carriage stopped.

Lian Zong got out of the carriage first, and then it was Gu Fang's turn.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Gu Fang was shocked by the majestic and solemn National Teacher Tower in front of him.

Lian Zong actually brought him to the National Teacher Tower?

Gu Fang remembered that every year when it was time for offering sacrifices, a raging bonfire would be lit on the National Teacher Tower. Because of the towering height of the National Teacher Tower, the fire could be clearly seen from every place in the capital.

Then Gu Fang thought that the National Teacher Tower was built in the imperial palace, so is he in the imperial palace now?

"From now on, you will be Dayao's national teacher." Lian Zong's words solved Gu Fang's doubts, "When that man abdicated, he specifically proposed to appease the hearts of the people in the capital, and wanted someone who had meritorious service and talent. Come to take over the important task of the national teacher."

In the middle of speaking, Lian Zong stopped suddenly. He looked at Gu Fang who was standing there not knowing what he was thinking, and did something that surprised himself.

He approached Gu Fang, and pinched his chin, forcing Gu Fang to raise his head, revealing the face that had always been indifferent: "I don't care about these, anyway, it's the same for anyone who is a national teacher, isn't it?"

"As long as you are a smart person." Gu Fang would be really stupid if he still didn't understand his situation at this time.The man standing in front of him just needed an obedient puppet, and he was the right choice.

"That's right, as long as he's a smart person." Lian Zong smiled with satisfaction, let go of Gu Fang's chin, and then ordered the palace servants who had been standing aside to take Gu Fang into the National Teacher Tower, while he strode away up.

"Please." The palace man looked serious, with no expression on his face.

But Gu Fang knew that only such a person could live in the palace for a long time.

The first and second floors of the National Teacher Tower are a lobby that has been opened up. The entire lobby is covered with white marble, and there is nothing else other than that.Going up the circular staircase next to the wall is the third floor of the residence of the national teacher.The fourth floor is where the royal ancestral hall is located.

That's right, the "national teacher" is the existence of the royal guardian.

Gu Fang laughed at himself thinking that he was really destined to be a "spirit guard", and he couldn't ask for help wherever he went.As for where the previous national teacher went.The palace man didn't say anything, and it was not easy for Gu Fang to ask.

But since it is an ancestral hall, the existence of ghosts is naturally indispensable.Gu Fang glanced at the three transparent figures squatting in the corner of the ancestral hall playing chess, and was not in a hurry to strike up a conversation with them.

The fifth floor is a huge ice cellar, which is used to store sacrifices.The sixth floor is where the national teacher used to watch the stars - this is another duty of the national teacher, and the entire seventh floor is an altar for worshiping the sky.

After taking Gu Fang around the entire National Teacher Tower, the palace man withdrew.This is also the rule of the National Teacher Tower. Except for the National Teacher, no one can enter and leave the National Teacher Tower at will.

Gu Fang went back to the third floor by himself and found a place to sit down. He stared at the gorgeous dresses neatly placed there, and couldn't help but think about what the palace man said before he left: "The day after tomorrow the eldest prince will be enthroned." It's time, when the time comes, the new national teacher will be canonized." This should be him.

"It really jumped from one pit to another." He couldn't help but sneer.

In the early morning of the third day, Gu Fang was woken up by the noise outside the National Teacher Tower.He frowned and buried his head under the soft pillow, but still couldn't keep the noise out of his ears.

He could only turn over dejectedly, put on his coat with a cold face.Shaking his head, Gu Fang finally remembered that today is the day when Lian Zong ascended the throne, and it was also the day when he was canonized as a national teacher.

"No wonder I started to work so hard." Gu Fang said to himself, and then he quickly made preparations in order not to cause trouble for himself.

When he got to the lobby on the ground floor, the gate of the National Teacher Tower happened to be opened.The "squeak" sound made Gu Fang feel as if he had passed away, as if he had been away from this world for a long, long time.

"My lord, Your Highness ordered the servants to come and pick you up." The palace servant was a little surprised to see that Gu Fang was already in the lobby, but people of their status knew how to hide their emotions best.

"Okay." Gu Fang felt that the "Adult" was a bit harsh, but he still maintained his calm face.

"This little doll is really interesting." The ancestor of the royal family who hadn't shown up until now actually appeared.

Gu Fang glanced away from the corner of his eye, and included the figures of the three ancestors in his eyes.But now is not the time to talk to ghosts, so he just took a look and then looked away.

"Please." The palace servants respectfully and politely led Gu Fang in front.

He took Gu Fang all the way to the front of the palace, then pointed to a palace in the distance and told Gu Fang that that was the place where the emperor went to court, the Golden Luan Hall.It is now used as a venue for the enthronement ceremony.Gu Fang, on the other hand, needs to wait behind the Golden Luan Hall, and wait for the palace servants in the Golden Luan Hall to notify him to go in.

Gu Fang nodded to show that he understood.After the palace man left, he looked up at the Golden Luan Hall shrouded in purple light.When the big bell of the Golden Luan Hall rang 99 times, the entire Golden Luan Hall burst out with dazzling golden light.

It seems that Lian Zong is really the destined emperor.Gu Fang squinted his eyes to resist the too dazzling golden light, and he became more determined in his heart about the idea of ​​disharmony and even fighting against each other.

Finally, when the big bell was rung again, an elderly palace official hurriedly came to Gu Fang.He took Gu Fang to the Golden Luan Hall without saying a word.

"Someone should have told you about the things you need to pay attention to." The palace man was a little out of breath, "You just need to stand there and obey His Majesty's orders."

"Okay." Gu put it in his mind and recalled what the palace man said earlier.

He followed the palace people into the main hall from the back of the Golden Luan Hall.As soon as he stepped into the hall, he felt scorching eyes from everywhere.

Lian Zong, who had already been enthroned as the emperor, saw Gu Fang and ordered a small palace man to read out the imperial edict he had written long ago.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Gu Fang, the heir of the Duke of Xian'an..."

The palace man's voice was particularly sharp, and it easily penetrated the limitation of space and reached the ears of everyone present.

Gu Fang knew that from this moment on, his fate had completely changed.

He glanced at Lian Zong, who looked extraordinarily majestic, and found that most of the evil spirit on Lian Zong's body was covered by the golden light at this time, and there was nothing scary about it.

Suddenly something fell from the top of the Golden Luan Hall and landed right in front of Gu Fang.

That crisp "da" sound made Gu Fang's eyelids twitch.He saw clearly that it was a translucent peanut.

He looked up slightly calmly, and saw that the three ghosts sitting on the beam of the Golden Luan Hall were the three ghosts in the National Teacher Tower?

It must have been the golden light when Lian Zong ascended the throne that alarmed them and attracted them all to come out.

The ghosts greeted Gu Fang friendly, and then smiled like three children when they got the gift back.

This made Gu Fang feel a lot better in an instant, but he didn't forget where he was now.

Of course Lian Zong noticed Gu Fang's strange behavior, but he was not in a hurry to find out what happened at this moment.

He asked Gu Fang to move forward a little so that he could be side by side with him.But he suddenly had a bad intention, and deliberately stretched out his hand in front of Gu Fang, asking him to stretch out his hand too.

Gu Fang was naturally unwilling, but out of consideration for the situation, he gave in.

Lian Zong sensed the sweat that belonged to Gu Fang's hands in his hands, and felt the pleasure of succeeding in a prank.

There may be many secrets in this person that he doesn't know, but one day he will discover them all.

Gu Fang had no idea that he had aroused Lian Zong's curiosity. He looked at the scene under the high platform of the Jinluan Hall and was filled with emotion for a moment.

He suddenly remembered his childhood.At that time, he would often lie on my uncomfortable bed after work and imagine the bright future, imagining him standing on a grand platform symbolizing power and looking down, while those who originally looked down on him Everyone knelt at his feet.

However, when he woke up from the dream, he still had to deal with the never-ending work and the bullying and ridicule from his half-brother.

Gu Fang recalled what happened on his birthday a few days ago.It turned out that that was just the beginning of everything.

My name is Gu Fang.The third son of the former Anguo Gong Gu Yanshu, the guardian of the Gu family, is also the new national teacher of the Dayao Dynasty.

His most distant "dream" has come true.Everyone is kneeling at his feet, worshiping him.
