Chapter 7 Auspicious Beasts
Early the next morning, Abdul woke up from his sleep in a daze. When I opened my eyes, something was wrong!
"Master Niu!"
No one answered, and then called "Horse catcher!" and still no one answered.
"Adu Zhixian, did you sleep well?" Adu Dingqing saw that Wei Qiansui had already walked into the room and actually greeted him! Adu realized what happened yesterday.
"Thank you Chitose for your hospitality! It's just that Abdul had a strange dream last night!"
"Let's hear it!"
"I dreamed that I was drunk, and a strange man with a bull's head and a horse's face raised his knife and slashed at me! At this time, the Buddha waved his hands, and a Buddha light blocked the deadly butcher's knife for me. Do you think it's weird?"
"It's rare for Abduzhi County to get together with the old man, so he drinks happily, and it is normal to have hysteria after getting drunk. Don't take anything in your dreams seriously!"
"That's, that's! It's just a strange dream!"
"Adu Zhixian, there is one more thing, don't forget!"
"Please make it clear!"
"The emperor held a grand ceremony today to welcome the auspicious beasts, and the ministers of the hundred officials in the capital must not be absent!"
"Thank you Chitose for reminding me! The world praises Chitose for working day and night on state affairs and doing her best, and that's true!"
"The carriage and horses are ready, you and I will enter the palace together, how about it?"
"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank you Chitose for your love!"
When Wei Qiansui and Ah Du arrived at the palace, many civil and military ministers were already waiting outside the palace. Seeing the arrival of the Chitose carriage and horses, they all bowed and greeted. Adu thought to himself, it is better to offend the gentleman than the villain. There is no one more dignitary than this!
"The emperor has arrived!" a purple-clothed eunuch shouted in a long tone.
"Long live my emperor, long live!" the civil and military officials knelt down to greet the emperor.
Today's grand ceremony is just to pray for the divine beasts. The appearance of the divine beast is the great luck of the Ming Dynasty! God bless the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty's national fortunes! Zheng Aiqing and Zheng Duwei, I have to thank you for stating the matter of the divine beast and making things clear!"
"Tell the emperor! The minister was ordered to lead the fleet to the Western Ocean again, after dozens of months of wind and rain, and finally arrived at the slow Basa, suddenly saw the auspicious clouds on the vast grassland, the sun was shining, and thought that there must be a mascot appearing, sure enough, the minister and his subordinates found the divine beast that disappeared in the Central Plains for thousands of years - the unicorn! Now bring it back to our dynasty, in order to bless the prosperity of our dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will last forever!"
When the ministers heard this, they looked left and right, and were very surprised!
"Welcome to the Divine Beast!" the emperor gave an order, and suddenly the drums and trumpets sounded in unison, and a golden carriage slowly drove over. Zheng Duwei stopped the carriage, and after kneeling, he slowly lifted the curtain, and the divine beast that everyone was looking forward to finally revealed its true face. Hundreds of officials and ministers have probed to watch, a sneak peek!
Ah Du glanced at the beast, snickered, and was afraid that the emperor would see it, so he hurriedly covered his face with his sleeves. Guess what Adu saw? It turns out that the so-called divine beast is a giraffe!
The emperor hurriedly took out his mobile phone to take pictures. Patting and patting, he felt a little strange, so he asked Zheng Duwei, "Why is the neck of this Qilin Divine Beast so long?"
"Back to the emperor! The unicorn is a sacred object of my Central Plains, and then unfortunately wandered into a foreign land, looking up at the east every day, thinking about thousands of years, accumulating over time, and the neck has grown!"
"I see! It's rare that the Qilin is also loyal! The ministers should follow the loyalty of the Qilin, and there is hope for our dynasty to prosper!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Ah Du thought to himself, in order to please the emperor, this Zheng Duwei can do anything and say anything. Suddenly, the beast jumped out of the car and ran away! It turned out that it had been hungry for a few days, and Mudi found a tree not far away, so he ran away!
"I haven't filmed enough! Zhong Aiqing, quickly recover it!"
As soon as he heard the emperor's order, all the ministers rushed to chase after him! The divine beast ran to the tree, stopped, and looked up to eat the leaves, full of enjoyment. In order to show his loyalty to the emperor, Wei Qiansui rolled up his sleeves and grabbed the tail of the divine beast with his hands, trying to drag it to the emperor. Who knew that this divine beast didn't know this person either, and it was nine thousand years old above ten thousand people, and it kicked backwards when he raised his legs! Wei Qiansui rolled to the ground with a scream! The ministers couldn't stop laughing.
"Look at me!" Abdul flew up the tree and broke off a branch, on which the leaves were tender and dense. Adu used the branches of the tree to bring the divine beast to the emperor. The emperor took some more photos around the mythical beasts, and also shared the photos with the ministers, and everyone was amazed! Only Adu was cheap, and he came to the emperor's side and said: "There are many such sacred objects in Africa!
affe!" Abdul wanted to show off himself, too.
"Africa, where is Africa?" the emperor was a little confused.
"Tell the emperor, Africa is where the gods live!" Zheng Duwei glanced at Adu and said nonsense.
"And what does 'Gilliver' mean?"
Adu was about to explain that it was the English pronunciation of giraffe, and Zheng Duwei preemptively said: "Ji is auspicious, Rui is Rui Qi, Buddha represents benevolence and boundless power!"
In order to welcome the divine beast, I have built a jade fence to facilitate the living and eating of the divine beast. In order to satisfy the beasts and bless me, I have set up the position of 'Faun Minister' to take care of the living and eating of the beasts. Zheng Aiqing, the divine beast is coming with you, it must be related to you, I want you to take up the position of 'Faun Minister', how about it?"
When Zheng Duwei heard this, he was shocked and quickly knelt on the ground. "Back to the emperor, the minister's important task of sailing to the West is far from over, and the minister also wants to bring back more jewels and beasts, and I hope the emperor will think twice!"
"Zheng Aiqing's words are reasonable! Wei Qiansui has done his best for the country, and he is worried. You are holding this position, what do you think?" the emperor glanced at Gonggong Wei.
"Tell the emperor! The slave was injured in the leg and had difficulty moving in order to drag back the divine beast just now, and the ministers can see it! The minister thinks that Adu understands the temperament of the divine beast quite well, and he should be the best candidate! Please ask the emperor to decide!"
Ah Du thought to himself, this old eunuch wants to harm me again!
"Your Majesty, the Qilin is an auspicious beast, imaginative, loner and boundless mana, if you are trapped, you may cause trouble!
"What do you think?" the emperor asked after pondering for a while.
The ministers were afraid of being selected as the 'Faun Minister', so they said in unison: "Adu Zhixian is reasonable. The unicorn is a sacred object, and it must not be kept in captivity, for fear of offending the wrath of the gods!
"Let it go!" The emperor waved his hand and turned to leave.
