Become the emperor's only favorite little white rabbit

Chapter 40 40. Good omens curb gossip with rumors.

Yunjun just hid in the tent, but did not turn back into a little white rabbit.

When Bai Fu outside prepared dinner, he could go out and have dinner with the emperor.

But thinking that the way he hid in just now was no better than the way he was peeking under the curtain when he turned into a little white rabbit last time, which made him feel a little ashamed.

When will he be able to stand beside the emperor frankly, and not be afraid of being disturbed when talking to him...

But he thought, he has already survived with the body of the little white rabbit, and now he wants to go further, is he too greedy?

Yunjun could only endure the situation where she had to hide and not make a sound.

He hid for a while, and finally saw that the door curtain was lifted.

When Zhong Fujing saw Yunjun standing alone in the tent, his heart ached.

He waved and said, "Everything is ready, come here."

Yun Jun stepped forward quickly and asked, "Is there any prey the emperor brought today for dinner?"

"That's natural!" Zhong Fujing raised his hand to block the door curtain, turned sideways, and when he got close to see Yunjun's calm expression, he also became interested.

As soon as Yunjun stepped out of the curtain, she could smell the aroma of barbecue.

The barbecue on the copper vessel even made a sizzling sound.

He hurried to the table, and saw that the cabbage was placed under the boar meat, and the curly vegetable leaves were stained with gravy, which seemed to be delicious.

And other dishes are still exquisite, which makes people's index fingers move.

Zhong Fujing lightly pressed his shoulders and asked him to sit down and have a meal with her.

Yun Jun only hoped that no one would disturb them at this time and let him have a good meal.

Maybe God heard his heart, and no one came to disturb them during this meal.

Yunjun ate to his heart's content, but when the palace servants came to clean up the dishes, he had to hide in the tent again, wanting to wait until the palace servants left before coming out.

When he just opened the curtain and saw Bai Fu still standing in front of Zhong Fujing, he also heard Bai Fu say: "Your Majesty, Lord Gui has returned and is waiting outside, do you want to summon me now?"

Zhong Fujing took a sip of his tea and was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of the curtain opening and closing, but no one came out, as if the heavy curtain moved by itself.

Zhong Fujing guessed what was going on, he said, "Let's declare."

Seeing Bai Fu go out, Zhong Fujing got up and walked around inside the tent.

Sure enough, Yun Jun, who was supposed to come out to play chess with him, turned back into a little white rabbit.

In the center of the bed was a pile of cloud-colored robes, and the little white rabbit was squatting among the robes.

If it wasn't for the little white rabbit's black round eyes, otherwise Zhong Fujing would not be able to spot the little white rabbit immediately.

Zhong Fujing picked up the little white rabbit and stroked his furry head guiltily.

Zhong Fujing leaned into his ear and whispered: "I asked Mr. Gui to investigate the monster before, and now I must have responded. Don't worry, after he finishes reporting, you can recover and meet with me again tonight." Play chess for a while."

The little white rabbit raised its front paw and patted Zhong Fujing's shoulder, making two "chirps", as if agreeing to him.

Zhong Fujing was overjoyed, so he went out and sat on Luohan's bed.

Soon, Gui Qingyao walked into the felt tent, unexpectedly Huo Yuan was still following behind him.

Seeing this, Zhong Fujing couldn't help frowning, and his smile disappeared.

"What's going on? Such a big battle?" Zhong Fujing asked strangely.

Gui Qingyao made a bow and said, "My Majesty, I went to the town to investigate, and finally found news about the bull-faced monster in two villages south of Yinshan Mountain."

Now, even the little white rabbit lying in the emperor's arms stretched out its head and looked towards Gui Qingyao.

Zhong Fujing asked: "What is that?"

Gui Qingyao replied: "According to the local people, the origin of the monster cannot be tested, but some people said that they saw him appearing in Yinshan two years ago. According to the description, the monster's size may not be that big at that time. It was a calf born with deformities, but because it was congenitally incomplete, the original owner wanted to kill it, but let it run away. Later, it got sick and started eating meat. After two years of continuous eating, it grew into this appearance. The stench on his body must be related to the disease he contracted. Weichen took some of the bones and meat from the slaughter, went to the city and asked a few butchers to ask, and they all said that it was diseased meat. They cannot be eaten, so they can only be burned and buried on the spot.”

Zhong Fujing went to see Huo Yuan again.

At that time, Huo Yuan was in charge of leading several cooks and several guards to deal with the monster.

Huo Yuan said: "Going back to the emperor, at the end of the day, I watched them decompose, burn, and finally bury them in the ground separately, uh... and according to what the adults said, they were buried separately in the grassland according to the gossip map..."

Zhong Fujing was amused, it turned out that those adults were still afraid of the "fierce beast".

Zhong Fujing nodded and said, "So that's a sick cow?"

Gui Qingyao hesitated for a while, then nodded and said: "But that is not an ordinary cow. The butcher said that ordinary cows cannot live that long if they get sick, but this cow not only survives by eating meat, but also has great abilities. Ru Niu may be... a kind of cattle called Qing Niu that only exists in the mountains and seas."

According to legend, the green bull is an ancient auspicious beast, and even a mount only available to gods.

Zhong Fujing laughed as soon as he heard it, "What? That's a green bull? Then is it auspicious or a ferocious beast that I met?"

Gui Qingyao couldn't answer this question, but he was sure that it must be a sick mad cow.

Zhong Fujing was no longer embarrassed, and continued: "Mr. Gui didn't close his eyes all day and night to investigate this matter, right? You have a good rest tonight, and after this ancestor hunting is over, you return to the capital. I will definitely reward you." you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gui Qingyao cupped his hands.

When he raised his head, he glanced at Huo Yuan again, and said: "After I came back, I received news from the shadow guard, saying that there have been rumors outside the past two days that the emperor encountered a fierce beast, and said it was a bad omen. As a result, there are many rumors outside, and I heard that the rumors were spread among the guards."

The attendants who came with the team were all Huo Yuan's subordinates.Those people are very skilled, especially when capturing the monster, they are extremely active.

But when they came back, they heard that they had killed a ferocious beast, so they were naturally afraid of being retaliated by the ferocious beast.They all said that they worked their lives for the emperor, and if there are still souls after the death of the fierce beast, they should go to the emperor for the debtor.

And gossip is like this, one pass one after another, and spread to the back with all kinds of strange things.In the end, it becomes the emperor who kills the beast, and there will be a bad omen.

In addition, the former emperor also died in an accident when he was hunting ancestors. It seems that the current emperor will repeat the same mistakes.

Huo Yuan is a general, and his words are relatively simple, and he dare not tell the truth about what he has investigated.But if these words fell into the ears of the emperor, it must be a serious crime of beheading. He dared not lie to the emperor, but he was even more worried that the emperor would be furious because of this and would be punished severely.

So, Huo Yuan knelt down on one knee and said: "I beg the emperor to spare the subordinates of the last general. They just don't know the true face of this thing, so they are talking nonsense. When investigating this matter just now, they have realized their mistake. The general has already punished them first."

Gui Qingyao on the side also said, "Your Majesty, I have just seen that Huo Taiwei punished those guards, please don't pursue the matter further."

Since even Gui Qingyao said so, and Huo Yuan had already been punished, Zhong Fujing had no choice but to give up.

And this Huo Yuan was just like Tian Shangshu at that time, Zhong Fujing was very partial to the courtiers who admired him in the court.

So Zhong Fujing waved his hand, saying that he would not pursue it, and let Huo Yuan leave.

However, Gui Qingyao seemed to have something to say.

And as soon as Huo Yuan left, the atmosphere in the tent became solemn because of Gui Qingyao's serious face.

Zhong Fujing asked: "Mr. Gui? Is there anything else?"

Gui Qingyao cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, although the people under Huo Taiwei have been punished here, those rumors have spread to nearby towns, and it will probably spread completely in a short time... This matter is not good for the emperor. .”

Zhong Fujing raised his face, "Then according to Mr. Gui's intention, what should I do now? Is the rumor so serious? Do I have to deal with it?"

Gui Qingyao said: "The emperor just dealt with Zhu Honghuai not long ago. It is inevitable that there are still those who once supported the prime minister who hold grudges and hope that something bad will happen around the emperor so that they can make some small moves. Moreover, the emperor Don't forget that coming to worship and hunt ancestors is not only to worship the ancestors, but also to let the people of the world believe that the current emperor's ability can control the country and rule the world."

As soon as these words came out, Zhong Fujing naturally understood the seriousness of the matter.

Gui Qingyao went on to say: "If you don't care about this rumor, when it spreads to the capital, those people will hear about it and make another disturbance, which will be troublesome. Especially the people of the day, who believe that the emperor has provoked a fierce beast, don't wait for those who have ulterior motives. People make some moves, but the people of the world will stand up and force the emperor to abdicate."

Zhong Fujing said: "But just now you told me not to chase and punish those tongue-twisters."

Gui Qingyao nodded: "Pursuing punishment again will only make the emperor appear violent and arrogant. Combined with the incident of the beast, I'm afraid that other rumors will spread."

When Zhong Fujing thought so, he also felt reasonable.Those who opposed him hoped that he would do something cruel, and used it to attack him and slander him.

Zhong Fujing sighed helplessly, "How could I have caused so many troubles when I met a mad cow in the hunting ground!"

The little white rabbit lying on his lap heard the matter clearly and felt sorry for Zhong Fujing.

He sadly leaned towards Zhong Fujing's hand, and rubbed his head, hoping that the emperor would be in a better mood.

Zhong Fujing lowered his head and saw the little white rabbit by his hand with a worried expression on his face.

Seeing the little white rabbits comforting herself, Zhong Fujing felt better.

Zhong Fujing: "What should I do now?"

Gui Qingyao then said: "Your Majesty, I have an idea now, and I ask your Majesty to make a decision."

"Say it quickly." Zhong Fujing said.

Gui Qingyao said: "I remember that some emperors have encountered similar things before, or they would secretly send people to the suburbs to bury a bronze statue with auspicious meanings, like a Cranes, a furnace tripod. Then let the people go to this place to dig wells, wait for others to dig out the bronze statue, and say that this is an auspicious omen, it is the will of God, and it means that God agrees with what the emperor will do, or that God also believes that the emperor is true. The meaning of the Dragon Emperor."

Of course Zhong Fujing had also heard of this kind of thing.

But after he heard it, he laughed, "This... I naturally know this method. But once or twice is nothing, the people don't know your tricks, and they will believe you. But after many times, everyone understands this method I mean, I'm afraid it won't have any effect, right?"

Gui Qingyao sighed, "Weichen also understands, but there is no other way right now. Either I pray to God for help, and when I go to worship the ancestors in the future, there will be rainbows and other celestial phenomena in the sky. This is also said to be an auspicious omen. But such things as celestial phenomena are rare...Now we can only do our best in human affairs before obeying the destiny."

Seeing Gui Qingyao in such a difficult situation, Zhong Fujing looked down at the little white rabbit and suddenly thought of something.

"My fairy rabbit can actually turn into a human, isn't this a good omen?"

Zhong Fujing said seriously.
