Chapter 142 This White Tiger Is Sick, We Might as Well
Chapter 142 This white tiger is sick, we might as well...
Min Yanghou thought of this possibility, and frowned slightly: "Father, just now, my son interrogated you, although we did not do the auspicious beast thing this time, our family did arrange manpower at the Royal Beast Garden, and some of them even It has something to do with the empress in the palace, this?"
"Can we find out what's going on with that white tiger?" Ye Guogong didn't answer him directly, "Is it artificial or his body is too weak to get used to the Royal Beast Garden?"
"As far as my child knows, it seems that it has not adapted to the Royal Beast Garden since it entered the Royal Beast Garden." Minyanghou said truthfully, "But because it is auspicious, and Chunjia personally sent it there, the Royal Beast Garden dare not say it. I can change ways to serve. As a result, after trying all means to delay for many days, the white tiger is still getting weaker and weaker day by day. Now I see that it is dying, and I am worried that if it dies, I will not be able to explain it, so I bite the bullet and report it.”
Ye Guogong pondered and said: "The Royal Beast Garden is owned by the royal family. Even if this matter is reported, it should be reported to the imperial court through the hands of the young mansion. How could it be that old man Ouyang Yanran who brought it to the Taichu Palace? Doctor Shi, what does it have to do with the Royal Beast Garden? It seems that Chunjia probably did this."
In this case, he ordered, "Send a letter to the queen, and she will erase all the people and things that have anything to do with the Royal Beast Garden, so that Chunjia won't mess around. Ask her again, what about the Royal Beast Garden?" Can there be any handle to fall?"
This is inside the palace. As for the Ji family, "Let people go around spreading Chunjia's great achievements, disguise ordinary yellow tigers as white tigers, and pretend to be auspicious, but they are discovered by the Imperial Beast Garden who is familiar with animals... Kill all the top and bottom of the Imperial Beast Garden."
Min Yanghou was puzzled and said: "Father, that is indeed a white tiger? Even if people who have never seen it outside don't believe it, let the Royal Beast Garden carry the cage out for people to take a look, wouldn't it be enough?"
By then, wouldn't they be wasting their efforts to spread rumors?
It's better to just say that Chunjia's virtue is insufficient and his blessings are meager, and he cannot support the survival of Ruishou in the world.
"What do you know?" Ye Guogong sneered, "It's not like Emperor Shenzong didn't play with this kind of auspicious beast when he was there. There were white deer, white bear and white tiger... At that time, being the father was Shenzong's confidant, Shenzong The white deer in the year he ascended the throne was presented to his father himself! For this reason, the father also learned a little about the situation of these auspicious beasts: the auspicious beasts must be cubs, otherwise they are used to staying in the mountains, and they are rarely seen. Able to get used to the complexity of the mundane world.”
"I was presented in front of the emperor with great fanfare, and then sent to the Royal Beast Garden with great glory, and the people inside were treated like ancestors, but they still died in depression. It's too much!"
"The few who survived have lost the energy they had when they were traveling through the mountains and forests."
"Although my father has never seen the White Tiger Auspicious Beast this time, I guess it's about the same."
"I lived a good life in the mountains and forests. Once I was caught and locked up in such a big cage, how can I be happy? If you are high-minded, you just don't want to live, just like those Haidongqing who would rather die than submit."
"Of course it could be overly frightened."
"No matter which one it is, it's really not very good now."
"In that case, Chunjia may save the white tiger and save the white tiger. With his scheming, he will have to tell the world that it is because of his deep blessings that he came to the Royal Beast Garden. With the protection of the emperor Fuze, I will live."
"But if we do this, Chunjia will have no choice but to bring Baihu to everyone to refute the rumors, whether she wants to or not."
Ye Guogong had a delicate expression, "Birds and beasts are afraid of places with many people, not to mention the curiosity of the people, who would miss the opportunity to witness the auspicious beasts with their own eyes? In such a situation, how can a beast that grew up in the mountains not be more and more frightened?" In short, no matter whether this white tiger can live or not, since Chunjia said it is auspicious, it is better to die."
Min Yanghou suddenly realized: "Father, don't worry, my child understands—there are still some firecrackers left over from last year's celebration in the storeroom at home. Although more than half a year has passed, they are still usable. When the time comes, it's time for someone to bring them to Ruishou. Auspicious beasts to ward off evil spirits!"
Even if the white tiger was able to withstand a crowd of spectators, if a few firecrackers were suddenly thrown in the crowd, everyone would be startled, let alone a sick animal?
At that time, I am not afraid that the beast will not die.
After such a death, regardless of who wins the blame, Chunjia's auspiciousness is gone anyway-even if the Ji family loses the blame, then they will not lose.
After all, Chunjia's throne had the meaning of becoming more and more stable, and with such auspiciousness, it was almost considered to be the destiny of heaven!
How can a powerful official like the Ji family mess around?
So the white tiger must die.
As long as this living auspiciousness dies, no matter whether it died because of the emperor, because of Guozuo, or because of treacherous ministers, in short, this heavenly family is gone.
Then Chunjia's love from heaven naturally weakened.
After all, the truly blessed real dragon must be blessed everywhere, let alone the auspicious beast he painted himself? Even if someone murders, it should not succeed.
Otherwise, how can there be a saying that auspicious people have their own celestial features?
"Auspicious Beast is just an introduction, it's just used to fool the people below." Ye Guogong said slowly, "If you can kill it, kill it. The key is what Chunjia wants to do this time? He is going to comfort the Taimiao soon. , Right now something happened to Ruishou, no matter how you look at it, it is not good for him... unless Ruishou gets better within five days. Or, he plans to make Ruishou get better after comforting the Taimiao?"
Originally, the auspicious animal had an accident, but it could be big or small.
If it gets out, it's a big deal, but if it doesn't get out, it's a trivial matter.
Anyway, when he got the white tiger, he had already shown off Chunjia's virtue to the world, and after that, no one stared at the Royal Beast Garden all day long to see if the white tiger was eating well and sleeping well.
The normal way is that Baihu is about to die and is quietly reported to the imperial court. Even if Chunjia is angry, she will let it go quietly in private. On the surface, she just suppresses this matter, as if nothing happened.
Like this time, Dr. Yushitai personally led people to consecrate in front of the officials, and the emperor immediately set up the Yushouyuan, which was a deliberate disturbance in the city.
Duke Ye thought about it for a while, but he was not sure: "Could it be that he plans to play another trick of the Mandate of Heaven?"
Now everyone in the imperial capital knew that Baihu was not good, which was a blow to Chunjia's view that she was blessed and recognized by the heavens. But isn't this a consolation that the Taimiao is coming soon? If Chunjia took the Prince Regent and his son to the Taimiao for a walk, then the white tiger would suddenly become energetic!
Well, it goes without saying that the courtiers in the temple may still be tacitly aware of it, but how do the common people in the countryside know so much? They will only firmly believe that Chunjia is indeed the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, and is blessed by the ancestors of the Gongxiang family and God.
"But so what?" Min Yanghou frowned and said, "What can the ignorant people help?"
Ye Guogong said lightly: "It is true that ignorant people can't directly treat our family for Chunjia, but you must not forget that since Chunjia joined forces with the regent and won over Zheng Gu, why didn't he treat you directly like your mother? Painful killer? It's simply because everyone in the world knows that he is our family's supporter of God, and we even married the most outstanding prostitute to him as queen."
"His aunt, mother, and wife are all from our family."
"If there is no good reason, if he dares to kill us, everyone in the world will talk about him, and history books will never forget his viciousness... This emperor is ambitious, and he wants to leave his name in history. How can he be like this? bad reputation?"
"But if in the eyes of the people in the world, he is the real Son of Heaven who is loved and loved by the heavens, and the heir that the ancestors of the Gongxiang family dreamed of, then he will let Zheng Gu rush in and slaughter our whole family. What would people say?"
"They will say that other people are fine. Such a virtuous emperor must have killed treacherous courtiers. Even without Chunjia spreading rumors, someone will accuse our family of crimes and crucify us as treacherous courtiers."
Min Yanghou's face became serious. He knew that his father's words were not alarmist, because there was such an example in the previous dynasty. After a person's reputation has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if he was found out doing bad things in private, there is still a reversal. There is no room for black and white; on the contrary, if a person is considered despicable and shameless, then he will be considered to have ulterior motives if he does anything casually.
In fact, there is a ready-made one in the harem of the imperial court: Yuan Niang has been harsh on the palace people for many years and murdered low-ranking concubines, so that before she fell out of favor, the concubines in the palace disappeared. Sometimes everyone is too lazy to use their brains, thinking that she did it .
What?
Find out it's not her?
It must be that Chunjia and the Queen Mother Yuan have both sided her again and found a scapegoat for her!
"Father, it's only a few days since Chunjia comforted the Taimiao, and the rumors spread enough to force Chunjia to show the white tiger to the public." Minyang Hou pondered, "If Chunjia comforts the Taimiao and the white tiger recovers, then it's fine. We use firecrackers, but there is no guarantee that it will die."
Moreover, "Chunjia is cunning, if he shows the white tiger to the public, how can he not be prepared? He can even take the initiative to send people to mix in the crowd to disturb the white tiger and plant our family."
"Even these days, other auspicious signs are secretly prepared to replace the white tiger."
Ye Guogong said: "What you said is also reasonable, so at Baihu, kill if you can, and the focus is on Chunjia. The idea you said last time is very good, let's follow that. It's just that this time, being a father is a bit difficult. I'm not sure what Chunjia's intentions are, but I'm afraid he will harm the two empresses in the palace. After all, your sister stayed in the palace, and the empress dowager has not taken much care of things these years, not to mention her age. The empress though Young, but being watched closely by Concubine Xian and the others, it is inconvenient to act."
"If Chunjia took advantage of the situation to do something in the harem..."
He was silent for a while, and sighed, "You must know that auspicious accidents happen...sometimes it should be a sign of the death of members of the royal family!"
Not just any member of the royal family can use the word "collapse" after death.
Except for the Son of Heaven himself, only the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are qualified to call the mountain collapse after death.
If the auspicious beast dies and dies with the Empress Dowager, in the eyes of those foolish men and women, it is simply reasonable: Isn't the death of the white tiger a sign that the Empress Dowager is going to see the late emperors?
As far as the current Ji family is concerned, if the Empress Dowager really makes a mistake, the loss will be incalculable, and the consequences will be even more disastrous.
Thinking of this, Ye Guogong's eyes were deep.
