Chapter 121 Bold
The white tiger was placed in front of the well pavilion next to the deer farm, and was housed in a big cage. The white tiger lay prone in the cage, with a pair of tiger eyes shooting around, and occasionally shaking its ears.
Xie Zhiwei and Linghua walked over hand in hand, walked around the cage, quite surprised.
In the pavilion, a papyrus mat was spread, and a chair was placed on it. The emperor wore a black felt hat, a yellow embroidered gold robe and skirt, and white double-soled boots. He entered the pavilion and sat down on the chair.
Among the powerful ministers accompanying him were Minister of Rites Zeng Shiyi, Minister of Dali Temple Xie Tiao, Governor Xu Jinyi, Marquis of Yiwu Hong Jizhong, Commander of the Imperial Army Han Zhen, Minister of Military Affairs Zhang Minghe, Minister of Dali Temple Xie Tiao, several eldest princes He Chen The king of the county also followed, and Lu Yan naturally served with him, standing in the pavilion without leaving the emperor.
The emperor seemed to be in a good mood. He leaned on his knees with one hand and held a cup of tea in the other. He smelled the tea and saw the shock and surprise of the people around him.
"Sister Wei, you haven't seen a white tiger, have you?" Linghua was overjoyed.
What girl doesn't love big fluffy cats? Moreover, this white tiger is completely white, without a single hair. Although it is impatient to be watched and admired by people in the cage, it makes a few irritated howls from time to time, but it just shows the majesty of the king of beasts. I can't wait to touch it with my own hands.
"Well, it's really majestic. The white tiger is an auspicious beast. Only when there is a benevolent king in the world can there be an auspicious beast!" Xie Zhiwei bowed up, "Congratulations to the emperor, Duanxian!"
The emperor laughed unceasingly, looking extremely satisfied, and said to Xie Tiao, "Xie Aiqing, your granddaughter is really smart."
Xie Tiao is also unavoidably proud. He has been an old minister for two courts. For him, such a prelude to the emperor is like drinking water and eating. When it comes to auspicious beasts, as the ancient book says, 'The country will prosper, and the white tiger will play the court', how lucky I am to be in the prosperous age!''"
Xie Tiao’s words like this please the emperor more than anyone else’s.
The emperor relies on military generals to rule the country, relies on civil servants to govern the world, and national government and civil affairs also rely on civil servants to advise and make decisions. If an emperor does not get the support of the civil official group, he will not be able to sit on the throne even if he has superpowers.
Xie Tiao is the head of the Xie family, and the Xie family is recognized by the world's gentry, and most of the world's students come from the Xie family. I will have trouble sleeping and eating, and can't sleep at night.
Today, because of this white tiger, the emperor won Xie Tiao's praise of "prosperity". In the future, this will be indispensable in the history books. Why doesn't the emperor like it?
The emperor said happily, "Xie Aiqing, I'm afraid you don't know that this white tiger has something to do with your Xie family."
Xie Tiao was stunned for a moment. The Xie family never did things to flatter the master. The Xie family’s family precepts required the descendants of the Xie family to treat the world as the public and not care about their own gains or losses. Who is so bold and dare to make such a sensational thing?
Seeing that Xie Tiao frowned, the emperor was in a good mood, and when Xie Tiao was also in trouble, he patted the armrest of the chair, "Xuan Ningyuan's son and Miss Xue come up!"
The people who were watching the white tiger were all surprised when they heard the emperor's call. Some people also had some guesses in their hearts. Could it be that the white tiger came from Ning Yuanbo's mansion? What kind of **** luck did it take to meet the white tiger, and this white tiger was willing to be caught, locked in a cage and sent to the palace?
Xue Shipeng specially wore a new suit. He walked in a hurry, raising his hand from time to time to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. Although Xue Shipeng was the son of a nobleman, he had lived for more than 30 years, and he had never had the chance to face the saint. Today, it was the Xue family's turn to get lucky.
Compared with Xue Shipeng's uneasiness, Xue Wanqing was calm and relaxed under the eyes of everyone. She was wearing a snow-colored embroidered white plum blossom double-breasted cotton satin skirt, a jade hairpin on her head, and raised her arms. Also calm and unhurried, graceful and pleasing to the eye, in front of the well pavilion, Yingying bowed down, and said in a clear and melodious voice, "My daughter Xue Wanqing pays homage to the emperor!"
She raised her head, a pair of clear eyes were as bright as stars in a winter night, shining brilliantly.
Everyone was extremely surprised when they saw the father and daughter. For a moment, all eyes fell on Xue Wanqing, with admiration, admiration, contempt, and indifference...
Xie Tiao quickly lowered his head, put his hands in his sleeves, and took a step back.
"What is she here for?" The third princess, Linghua, was naturally impressed by Xue Wanqing. She was very surprised, and asked Xie Zhiwei in a low voice, wondering how a white tiger could be related to Xue Wanqing, a boudoir woman. Also, is Xue Wanqing too courageous? Bigger? How dare he look up at his father.
The moment she saw Xue Wanqing, Xiao Changxuan's eyes lit up, and her eyes were attracted to Xue Wanqing, she finally had a chance, she was right, her bravery, her boldness, her uniqueness is what she should be Show it in front of everyone, let the world know that the daughter's family can also make a career.
"Are you Miss Xue?" the emperor asked with great interest, this little girl was so bold that she wasn't afraid of him.
Xue Wanqing is not a fool either. After she glanced at the emperor in a daze, she curled her lips, quickly lowered her eyes, and said in a crisp and clear voice, "If you go back to the emperor, the minister's daughter is Xue Wanqing."
"I heard from the fourth prince that it was you who came up with the idea of ??bringing the white tiger auspicious beast into the palace wide open, so that everyone in the world would know the idea of ??the auspicious beast appearing in the world?"
Hearing the emperor's voice was very pleasant, Xue Wanqing did not expect that Xiao Changxuan did not hide her credit, but said such kind words for her in front of the emperor, she glanced at Xiao Changxuan in shock, did not miss his flattering expression, her eyes were grateful , but in my heart I don't think so.
"If you go back to the emperor, the courtiers just think that night walks in brocade clothes are unnecessary. On the contrary, if the world knows that the prosperous age is coming, it will definitely inspire people's hearts, and it will benefit both the country and the people."
"Where is the benefit? Tell me!"
Xue Wanqing lowered her head, unable to restrain the excitement in her heart, she really won the bet. She didn't know that it was very risky. Once people found out that this white tiger was fake, she would have to face the tragic situation of her family being wiped out and the nine clans imprisoned, but she had no choice.
Uncle Ningyuan's mansion has fallen, and the men in the mansion have no good jobs. Even her biological mother's dowry has been embezzled. Every day, the whole family sits and eats the mountain, and those lazy and greedy faces make her want to vomit. , she has nothing left to lose.
