Chapter 140: An Accident in Rui Beast
There were still five days before the emperor personally comforted the Taimiao. After the great court meeting, Chunjia called several close officials to the Taichu Palace to discuss some important matters as usual.
At this time, Ouyang Yanran, the doctor of Yushitai, led a low-level official in a green official robe.
Ouyang Yan's face sank like water, but the green-robed official was terrified, and almost fell to his knees when he entered the hall - Chunjia saw it, so naturally he wanted to ask why.
"Your Majesty, this is the main matter of the Royal Beast Garden. There is something wrong with the Royal Beast Garden." Ouyang Yanran suppressed her anger, and cupped her hands, "Your Majesty must make a decision himself!"
After hearing this, the monarchs and ministers who were discussing the matter didn't feel anything. After all, the emperor was very diligent and didn't like to play. He had basically never been to the Royal Beast Garden since he took the throne, and he didn't have anything special about the rare and exotic animals there. Interesting, what could go wrong now?
Chunjia frowned slightly and said, "But what's wrong with those sea dongqings?"
He was fifteen years old, and his own life was on the verge of collapse. How could he have the heart to bet on these beasts? As far as the huge Royal Beast Garden is concerned, only those Hai Dongqings are extraordinarily handsome and heroic, so he pays extra attention.
But it’s more concerned. If these Haidongqings are dead or disabled, the people under the outbreak will belong to the people under the outbreak, and it will be over when it’s over. Anyway, the whole world belongs to him, so let Liaodong pay another batch of tribute.
"It would be better if it was Hai Dongqing." Ouyang Yanran also had the same idea, and signaled Chunjia to let all the irrelevant palace people back down, leaving only Yan Yin to wait by her side, before sighing, "Even if it is Yuzhuojun, it's worth it. If you spend more time, you can finally get it again. But how can you make up for such an auspicious omen like Rui Beast immediately?"
When mentioning Rui Beast, the expressions of the monarchs and ministers changed a little.
Chun Jia asked coldly, "What's going on?"
The green-robed official fell to his knees with a puff, and said in a crying voice, "Return to Your Majesty, Ruishou... Ruishou is not good!"
"...What's wrong?!" Chunjia's face was livid, and he yelled softly, "Didn't it be fine when I sent it to the Royal Beast Garden? It's not that there are no other tigers and leopards in the Royal Beast Garden. I still remember the past When you went to see Haidongqing, you boasted that all the beasts in the Royal Beast Garden were reared, smooth and full of energy, why is it that the auspicious beasts have only been in for a few days, and they are not good?!"
The green-robed official reported in a very difficult way: "Auspicious Beast hasn't had any water or rice these days, and the mental head is seeing it getting worse day by day, and... it has started to lose its hair and has many sores. What's going on if you don't come out."
At this moment, all the courtiers present couldn't hold their breath anymore, and Duke Yi took the lead to ask: "When did the auspicious beast not eat water and rice?! Why didn't you report it immediately? And do Chinese medicine practitioners in the garden eat dry food? You can't do it for the auspicious beast. Diagnosis and treatment are fine, but the cause can’t be found, so why should the imperial court spend their salaries to support these people!”
"Because it's the time of autumn now, other animals in the past would occasionally not think about eating and drinking at this time." The green-robed official talked about a day, almost when Sheng Jia was about to set off from the palace, tremblingly said , "So after receiving the report, the lower official said that there is no serious problem, just ask them to make the auspicious beast meal more delicate... As a result... As a result..."
"You bastard!!!" Yi Guogong is worthy of being Chunjia's number one supporter in the temple, and immediately settled the matter, "God bless the country, and the heaven sent a wise king, so there is an auspicious beast, a white tiger, to show your majesty's virtue. However, you bastards, the corpses are vegetarians, knowing that Ruishou has a minor illness, but deliberately concealing it and not reporting it, causing Ruishou to fall ill! It’s just frantic!!!”
He immediately turned to face Chunjia, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I ask you to send the Imperial City Commissioner to thoroughly investigate the entire Imperial Beast Garden! The auspicious beast white tiger is born to be brave, how can it be possible that the water will not enter? Someone is planning to do something wrong and deliberately murder!"
Anyway, it is impossible for Rui Beast to be his own failure—especially at this moment, Chunjia ordered to take the regent's family to the Taimiao to worship the late emperor Xiaozong. At the court meeting two days ago, everyone even suggested to the regent Since Wang's young son is not in good health, it is better to go to the ancestors to do his filial piety. Maybe which emperor in heaven will love his descendants and grandchildren and bless him to get better?
Then if Baihu has a mistake right now, no one outside should stand up to pick things up. No one would think that Chunjia was rejected by the heavens, and even not recognized by the first emperors of the Gongxiang family. The white tiger represented by Xiangrui also showed signs?
At this moment, those who were called by Chunjia to discuss the matter were the royalists and the two or three neutral courtiers. Duke Yi took the lead, and the royalists were of course excited. I think it was probably done by Ji.
After all, this is too coincidental, isn't it?
Auspicious Beast didn't have an accident earlier or later, but it happened when the royal uncle and nephew were planning to go to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices?
Chunjia's face sank when she heard that, she couldn't even take care of the state affairs she was discussing, and immediately ordered Yan Yinbai to drive the beast garden, and she wanted to investigate thoroughly herself!
Of course such a big movement could not be concealed. The well-informed concubines in the harem received the news quickly, but they were not summoned by Chunjia. They heard that the emperor was in a bad mood at the moment, so they felt that there was no need to go up and make trouble.
So they stood still and sent people to investigate—Yun Fenghuang was no exception, so they heard that Chen Zhu had gone out to make contact, and soon came to report that the emperor had already boarded the emperor's chariot, and brought him to discuss matters in the imperial study. All the ministers, together with Ouyang Yanran, the doctor of Yushitai, and a small official of Yushouyuan went to Yushouyuan in a mighty way.
"The Royal Beast Garden?" The Qing people were puzzled, "What big event can happen in the Royal Beast Garden to alarm His Majesty?"
Yun Fenghuang still had a good memory, after all, she had personally visited the white tiger at the beginning, and now her expression was a bit ugly: "It's probably because something went wrong with the auspicious beast that I sent up when I was in the palace."
At this moment, all the people in the palace changed their colors: "How could it be?"
They were terrified here, when a little palace maid ran in from outside and said: "My Lady, Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui are here, please see me at the door!"
"Why are they here to join in the fun now?" Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows and ordered, "Let them come in."
Not long after, Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui came in hand in hand, after paying their respects, and being given a seat, she looked around and hinted that she wanted to speak alone.
Yun Fenghuang waved his hands indifferently, and when the scene was cleared, Concubine Xuan didn't have time to greet her, so she asked, "Your Majesty, do you know that Your Majesty brought his subjects to the Imperial Beast Garden?"
"You guys also received the news?" Yun Fenghuang said, "Could it be that this is why you came here?"
"Your Majesty, your majesty concentrates on government affairs and doesn't like dogs, horses, tigers and leopards. How could you easily put aside the business and rush to the Royal Beast Garden?" Concubine Rui interjected, "I guess something happened to the Rui beast that was sent to the Royal Beast Garden earlier. Already!"
Yun Fenghuang said: "This palace also guessed in the same way, but since His Majesty has dealt with this matter, then..."
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Xuan interrupted impatiently, "Have you forgotten about the collapse of the royal tomb earlier? Although Your Majesty adopted the name of the late Emperor and is distantly related to King Fuyang, before His Majesty ascended the throne, he had been working in Fuyang. Yang County is the son of the prince, and after Fuyang Duanwang passed away, he will take over as the vassal king! Not to mention the two empress dowagers from the lineage of Fuyang King are still there?!"
"If the Ji family dares to attack Wang Ling, who knows if he will do something even more insane today?!"
Yun Fenghuang glanced at them in surprise, and thought that these two reacted quickly this time.
She didn't even think about the ambush at the Royal Beast Garden.
But there is a reason why she didn't think about it: "You can all think of this truth, can your majesty be on guard? Since your majesty is going directly to the Royal Beast Garden now, I don't think there will be any problems. And you didn't find out just now? It was Rui Fei, your own grandfather who sent the people from the Royal Beast Garden to face the saint."
"Boss Ouyang has been in the ups and downs of his career for so many years, how can he not be careful in his actions? I am afraid that he would have sent someone to the Royal Beast Garden to check before he brought someone to see His Majesty."
Concubine Rui forced a smile: "But preparations have been made at the Ancestral Temple. If there is no accident, His Majesty, Prince Regent and his son will be there in a few days... Something happened to Rui Beast, and the consequences..."
"You don't have to worry about the consequences." Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and said softly, "You don't have to worry about it either! It's over, that's it, all the palace affairs are done? Go back and continue to take care of it before the disposal is over. After the disposal is over, spend more time with your heirs, even if they are not your own, at least call you mother and concubine, right?"
Concubine Xuan and Ruifei wanted to say something, but Yun Fenghuang impatiently kicked her out, and she was very angry.
But apart from being angry, she also relaxed a little bit, saying to each other: "Concubine Xian doesn't seem worried at all, so it should be fine?"
"Did my sister's family not give you any news?" Concubine Xuan asked Rui Concubine again, "For such a big matter... Your Majesty has already gone to the Royal Beast Garden in person, did Ouyang's family send you a message or something?"
Concubine Rui smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that my sister doesn't know about it. It's only been a few hours since my grandfather brought the people from the Royal Beast Garden to meet the saint? My family is probably waiting for the news from the Royal Beast Garden. , where are you free to send me a message?"
"Otherwise, why should we go to Huanhua Palace to be angry?"
If it wasn't for the fact that they were really restless, afraid that Chunjia would be ambushed and their concubines would end badly, they wouldn't want to go to Xuanqing Palace to see the face of the concubine Xian.
Concubine Xuan thinks about it too. Concubine Xian is not harsh on her concubines, but she is never lenient when she makes a mistake. But for high-ranking concubines like them, they can really kill them by mistake.
Therefore, except for Wei Hengyan, who had been taken care of by Yunfenghuang early on, no other concubine would like to go to Xuanqing Palace.
Even Yun Qingman, who was said to be "just like a direct sister", avoided this virtuous concubine and concubine who was a good friend in her former boudoir.
"Forget it, Concubine Xian comes from a low background, and she is nothing without the emperor's favor." Concubine Xuan finally sighed, "She is not in a hurry, it seems that either the Ji family will not act so viciously and recklessly, or His Majesty is prepared to do so." There is something... let's go back to the palace."
And Yun Fenghuang, who sent them away, is also facing questions from left and right: "Is your empress really not worried at all? After all, the Ji family has been prominent for three dynasties and has deep roots. When this year's summer vacation, the empress made an excuse to stay Now the empress dowager is in the palace, but the empress dowager is back, once... when the empress dowager comes out to preside over the overall situation, how can she not favor the Ji family?"
"Those two spoiled and spoiled have never experienced anything, so they didn't think carefully, why are you confused?" Yun Fenghuang took a sip of tea, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Your Majesty is such an impulsive person? Listen to Rui If the beast has an accident, he will rush there in person?! Will he treat Ruishou a doctor, or can he persuade Ruishou to eat, and at this moment, the first one to think of doing it himself?"
I was a little confused for a while: "What do you mean by your empress?"
"Your Majesty can decide to set up the Royal Beast Garden so quickly, and bring a few important ministers with him, so what else can you say?" Yun Fenghuang sneered, and said slowly, "Today, the face sage told Rui Beast that something went wrong... It was arranged by His Majesty!"
Therefore, for Chunjia, the Imperial Beast Garden is probably safer than being in the palace at the moment.
What could happen to Chunjia?
