Fast Travel: A Record of Unusual Creatures

The other people present were really confused when they heard this. Is this the focus of attention? Isn't the focus of attention now not to change the civet cat for the prince and steal the dragon to turn into a phoenix? Isn't it confusing the royal bloodline and false accusation?

Dozens of civet cats live and die, no matter how miserable their death is.

It can't be compared with these things!

But in a flash, Emperor Taikang and others remembered that the right prime minister Dou Xiao was also a cat slave. He kept several civet cats in his family. They basically ate and lived with the cats on weekdays. They could sleep in the bed without women at night, but they must not There are no cats. Some time ago, poems written for cats were even published in a book of poems.

What is it like? The creek firewood is soft and warm, and the raccoon slave and I don't go out. Although the quality is not very high, the quantity is indeed quite large, a collection of poems, and more than a hundred raccoon slave poems.

So the first reaction was to feel sorry for the dead civet cat.

It seems to be excusable.

"Prime Minister Dou, this is not the time for you to care about and care for civet cats. Concubine Shu's matter has been widely circulated in and outside the palace. Now we must resolve the matter as soon as possible and tell the world to calm down the public discussion."

The next second, Li Kang rolled his eyes at Dou Xiao.

He actually lost to such an ignorant guy, and could only succumb to him and become a left-handed prime minister.

Now that I think about it, it feels unfair.

"What is there to discuss about this matter? Aren't the facts already clear? Then enforcement according to the law is..."

"Concubine Shu deserves the death penalty for being the mastermind, but because no heir died and she gave birth to another princess for His Majesty, she was demoted to a commoner and relegated to the cold palace.

Of course, if His Majesty is distressed.

It's okay to just say yes to a beauty or something like that.

The remaining participants were also sentenced to death. "

Dou Xiao didn't have to be too proficient in the law, and some things could barely be regarded as routine, so he quickly gave a plan that he thought was normal.

After he finished speaking, he still sighed with emotion:

"It's a pity that who will avenge the civet cat?"

"Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate. After all, Concubine Shu and the Queen Mother have a very close relationship. If Concubine Shu is really demoted to a commoner and thrown into the cold palace, will it affect the relationship between the Queen Mother and you, and I'm afraid it will be bad for the little princess, right? .

How about taking a lighter sentence and demoting the concubine to a concubine? "

Soon, the chief officer of the Ministry of Rites stood up and joined in.

"How dare you talk about the Queen Mother like this? No matter how related Concubine Shu is to the Queen Mother, she is just a niece. How could the Queen Mother have a conflict with her own son, Your Majesty, over a niece?

As for the little princess, she can be named under the names of other concubines. What impact will it have on the future? "

Soon someone refuted the question of the chief official of the Ministry of Rites.

Next, the main point of debate among the ministers was whether to punish him severely or give him a lenient sentence.

During the process, some people expressed whether Concubine De should be promoted to empress. After all, this was what Emperor Taikang had promised himself. To be more strict, if he had not made this promise, Concubine Shu would not be so crazy.

As for whether the Queen Mother knew and indulged, or whether she intervened to help or something, no one dared to say it.

The emperor's concubines still dared to talk about it, but the queen mother and the others were really helpless. Even if the queen mother did intervene in this matter, they would not be able to bring it up clearly. After all, raising it would be purely to make trouble and to make the queen Emperor Kang was in a dilemma, because Emperor Taikang would never be able to depose the Queen Mother because of this matter.

Even issuing orders to rebuke is inappropriate.

It can't be dealt with anyway, so what's the point of bringing it up? Why not just let the Queen Mother and the Emperor hold a grudge?

Half an hour later, Emperor Taikang couldn't help but say:

"You all, please be quiet. You have simply missed the point. The point now is not how I want to punish Concubine Shu, but what do you think of what the cat said before leaving. If the culprit does not get retaliation, The punishment of an eye for an eye means that it will take action personally to avenge its relatives and friends.

If my understanding is correct, the so-called relatives and friends should not be other people, but the cats who were killed by the Sufis. The so-called tooth for tooth, eye for eye, it is difficult to understand it literally. Or do you want to skin the culprit alive?

If it doesn't follow the instructions, will it really take action? Then it should be no longer a civet cat, but a cat demon.

You'd better discuss carefully how to handle this.

Do you want to invite some magicians into the palace, do you want to send someone to protect Concubine Shu, or even my queen mother? "

As for whether his mother, the Queen Mother, was involved, he actually sent another secret guard to quietly inquire about it. The result, he could accept, was that although his mother was involved, she was not the mastermind. , at most, I just helped my niece do some finishing work.

Moreover, his biological mother, the Queen Mother, probably always thought that her niece just wanted to exchange babies, and most likely it was out of consideration that they were all her grandchildren anyway, and changing mothers would not matter at all.

Compared to having one more queen in their family.

That's even more so.

That's why I acquiesced to this matter and helped.

The Empress Dowager discovered and stopped Concubine Shu's previous attempt to kill the emperor's heir in Concubine De's belly. It can be seen that in the eyes of the Queen Mother, the safety of her grandchildren is the most important, followed by her niece and her natal family.

It was precisely because of this that Emperor Taikang was a little worried.

If that cat demon really comes into the palace to take revenge.

Will it implicate his mother?

When the ministers heard what he said, apart from being a little surprised, they all basically understood.

The Queen Mother may not be so innocent.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. This must have been done deliberately by someone rather than a real cat demon. After all, if the other party was really a cat demon, how could he be caught so easily and the whole family be killed.

As far as I know, even if there are medicines in this world, they need to be practiced slowly over many years. How can it be achieved overnight in a short period of time? It must be fake. "

"If your Majesty is really worried and invites some magicians to come to the palace, just say that they are praying for the prince and princess."

"The child is silent and strange."

"The palace is protected by dragon energy. I think the cat demon is just here to scare His Majesty. If something happens to me and I really have the ability to retaliate, there is no need to threaten and intimidate me. I can just take revenge directly."

"Regardless of whether it's true or false, it doesn't hurt to be cautious!"

"I suggest that your Majesty continue to interrogate strictly and be sure to find out where the mastermind is behind the scenes. Although I don't know what the other party's purpose is, it is definitely not a good thing."

"My minister agrees!"

In fact, most of the officials at the scene did not believe that the cat demon was causing trouble, so the final result of their discussion was that humans were still causing trouble. They had to punish Concubine Shu normally while being a little more vigilant. At the same time, they needed to dig deeper. The possible mastermind behind the incident.

Then this little meeting was over.

The corresponding decree was quickly promulgated.
