Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Divine Destiny Bird
"What's going on? What's going on? Are you hurt? Why did Liu Jin's pickled dirty goods break his hand? It's really unlucky! ”
Outside the small courtyard, as a complaining voice sounded, several figures hurried over. The leader was a fat man in a brocade robe in his thirties, his face was dark, and he looked like he had a belly of fire in his heart.
"Master Hou!" When the leader of the forbidden army saw this person, he quickly clenched his fists and smiled bitterly. As for the other forbidden troops, they didn't dare to arrest Li Mo.
"Uncle, uncle."
When he saw the comer, the child couldn't help but shrink down.
The fat man in the brocade robe patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay to take a good picture, otherwise my uncle would not have been scolded to death by my sister." ”
That's right, this thing didn't think about whether the prince's family would be torn apart by His Majesty if something happened to his family, but he was only worried that his sister would scold him. And this is Zhang Heling, the head of the Shouning Hou Mansion.
Zhang Heling's sister is none other than the current queen and Zhu Houzhao's mother!
"You, your name is Li ...... Lee: What's coming from? Zhang Heling looked at the leader of the forbidden army and said.
The one said with a wry smile: "In Xia Liu Ning, he was originally the commander of Yongningwei, and later the commander of the capital because of his merits, and he was a guerrilla general of Xuanfu. Two years ago, De Taifu valued being promoted to the forbidden army, and now he is the commander of the East Palace Guard. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be you, Ben Hou was confused. Hahahaha...... Well, you tell me everything. Well, Ben Hou will send someone to count it later, if there is any loss, your East Palace will have to compensate Ben Hou! Zhang Heling said.
Liu Ning had the urge to swing a knife and cut this guy at the moment, but thinking of the queen's love for this guy...... Forget it, you have to hold back!
Holding back this breath, Liu Ning told what he knew. That Zhang Heling stared at Li Mo with bright eyes when he heard this: "That's right, that bird was raised by Benhou, Liu Jin didn't know how noble he dared to do it, and it would be cheaper for him to break his arm." By the way, Ben Hou still has to go to accompany his sister to chat, you quickly send someone to catch this bird, put it in a cage and send it over. Remember, it must be sent to Benhou! ”
After that, this Zhang Heling turned around and was about to leave.
Tsk, the fight scene or something, Ben Hou is really not suitable to see, Ben Hou is a serious reader, how can he see blood?
After only two or three steps, Zhang Heling turned around and said: "Oh, by the way, the blood stains on the ground are cleaned up by Ben Hou, Ben Hou is a scholar, and he can't see blood the most!" ”
After the whole process, he didn't seem to care about Zhu Houzhao!
Liu Ning has the urge to draw a knife and slash people again!
"Hey, do it to me? Da Ming still wants to continue? And that dead fat man, you say I'm yours? Li Mo said.
"Fatty? Who is fat? Zhang Heling's footsteps stopped again, raised his eyebrows, and stared at Li Mo with a glare. The speed at which this guy answered the phone was much faster than Liu Ning, and it had nothing to do with the topic, but he just held back all Liu Ning's doubts.
"Heling, what's wrong? I heard that Liu Jin broke an arm, is there anything wrong with the thick photo? ”
Outside the small courtyard, another group of people came. The one who walked in the front was dressed in a phoenix crown, and he looked like he was unspeakably rich.
"Sister, he said I was a dead fat man!"
Zhang Heling pointed at Li Mo with a sad and aggrieved face and said.
"You're a lot fatter than you've been a few years ago, but you're fat...... Is this a curse on my Zhang family? Empress Zhang's face sank.
Immediately, she was stunned again, and after carefully looking at Li Mo a few times, she asked in a cold voice, "Zhang Heling, what did you say...... Is it a bird? Are you playing tricks on your sister? ”
"Sister, I didn't tease you, but he scolded me for being a dead fat man. Woo woo, Dad, now even a bird dares to scold me for dying, my sister doesn't care, I'm pitiful, I don't have anyone to care about it......"
Zhang Heling understood the essence of crying, making trouble and hanging himself, and sat on the ground and cried. This scene, Xiao Zhu Houzhao couldn't bear to look at it directly, he had seen a lot of it in the palace, and he knew how cheeky this uncle was. But now...... With so many people looking at you, how can you still be like this?
Zhu Houzhao couldn't bear to look at it directly, and Empress Zhang couldn't wait to dig a hole in the ground now, and then get in. I've seen shameless, I've never seen such a shame on my family!
"Okay, this matter will be handled by this palace, you ...... Go back to the study! Empress Zhang said expressionlessly.
"Hehe, sister, you're good to me. Liu Ning, after taking down this dead bird, he will immediately send it to Ben Hou's study, Ben Hou will strip off all his hair! Zhang Heling didn't forget to give an order when he left.
"Liu Ning, take that bird down and send it back to the palace." Empress Zhang spoke.
"Sister, that bird is mine, I took a fancy to it first." Zhang Heling's footsteps stopped again.
"Come on, send Shou Ninghou to the study! Now, right now, I don't want to hear him say another half word. Empress Zhang instructed without looking back.
As soon as these words came out, I saw several people covering Zhang Heling's mouth and carrying him away.
Not only does Empress Zhang feel that Zhang Heling can only be embarrassed here, but others also feel the same. So many people are watching, you are sitting on the ground rolling and crying, is this like a marquis? And a grudge with a bird...... Isn't it, isn't it nonsense?
Liu Ning saw that Zhang Heling was gone, he walked to Queen Zhang and knelt down, and said with a wry smile: "Niangniang, I'm afraid this bird is not easy to catch!" ”
"What, you want to disobey?" Empress Zhang looked coldly at the man in his forties in front of her.
"Niangniang, it's not that the minister wants to disobey, but ...... Previously, this bird had said that if he made a move on him, Da Ming still wanted to continue? This is not clear, but the minister thinks it is better to ask clearly. Liu Ning said.
Empress Zhang frowned when she heard this, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Huh? It's just that a bird can speak, and there is no need to mention it if it hurts Liu Jin, but it can say this...... You mean, there's weirdness in that? ”
"You're right, but there's one more thing...... He hurt Liu Jin but didn't leave, so many of us are here, and he still hasn't left. Doesn't the mother think this is strange? Liu Ning said.
"That's it, this palace will take Houzhao away, you deal with this matter first, and this palace will notify Jinyiwei and Dongchang to send someone to assist you." Empress Zhang said.
"Minister, Commander!" Liu Ning hesitated for a moment and took on this task.
Well, although it was a decree, not a holy decree, he didn't dare not listen to it!
"Empress Zhang, are you leaving?"
Just as Empress Zhang was about to leave with Zhu Houzhao, Li Mo spoke again.
"Huh?" Empress Zhang turned her head abruptly, glanced at Liu Ning, and then her eyes fell on Li Mo.
"Hahahaha...... Since the Zhu family doesn't care, then why should I care? The Divine Destiny Xuanniao, descending to give birth to business, the house is full of earth and mangmang. The ancient emperor ordered martial soup, and the four sides of the Zhengyu ......"
With laughter, Li Mo spread his wings and flew into the air. But seeing that his body continued to enlarge, and finally it was as big as a dark cloud, and his wings flapped and broke through the air.
"That, that, that's a monster?" Empress Zhang looked at Liu Ning with a panicked expression, she was horrified, she thought she might die just now! Under the fear, she didn't pay much attention to what Li Mo said.
"Minister, minister doesn't know!" Liu Ning was even more frightened than her, that bird, which didn't look big, could become so big, and there were not only these people here, but also the queen and the crown prince!
If something happens to the queen and the crown prince here, half of the day will collapse, and he will be to blame for his death!
"Queen Mother, is he the legendary Xuanniao? He just read the "Xuanniao" in the Book of Songs. Zhu Houzhao said.
"Your Highness, Xuanniao doesn't look like this, it has a very long tail...... The bird just now looked more like a crow from the point of view of its appearance. Liu Ning said.
Empress Zhang nodded: "Yes, this is indeed not quite the same as the Xuanniao in the record, and its appearance does look quite different from the Xuanniao." The Divine Destiny Xuanniao, descending to give birth to business, the house is full of earth and mangmang. The ancient emperor ordered martial arts, and the four sides of the Zhengyu ...... If it is really a Xuanniao, does he need to use this poem to prove that he is a Xuanniao? And legend has it that the appearance of the Xuanniao represents the peace of the world, and this auspicious will not break Liu Jin's arm, right? ”
"However, Taifu told me that Sima Qian, who wrote the historical records, was from the Han Dynasty, had he ever seen Xuanniao? "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" only says: There are mountains in the North Sea, and the name is the mountain of the secluded capital. The black water comes out of the Yan, and there are birds, snakes, leopards, tigers, and fox fluffy tails. It didn't say what the bird looked like? Although there are many later records, have the people who recorded them ever seen Xuanyao? Zhu Houzhao said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and Queen Zhang and Liu Ning looked at each other.
yes, who has ever seen a Xuanniao? Why do you dare to say what a bird should look like? Although the Xuanniao pattern has been inherited from the past, have those people really seen Xuanniao?
After a moment of silence, Empress Zhang touched Zhu Houzhao's head and sighed: "Houzhao is really smart, I actually remember all the things in these books." However, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is just a miscellaneous book, not a sage doctrine, so don't read more in the future. ”
"Yes, Queen Mother!" Zhu Houzhao lowered his little head and didn't dare to refute.
"Mother, if that, that...... If that is a Xuanniao, what should we do? Could he be the auspicious rui sent by God to assist Daming? Liu Ning asked cautiously.
"Then why don't you send someone to chase after you? Call Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and the palace must know the news at any time! Also, inform Your Majesty of this. Empress Zhang's eyes sank and she glared at Liu Ning fiercely.
"Minister, let's go!"
Liu Ning shuddered. Emperor Hongzhi treated people generously and never punished those who did things. But this Empress Zhang ...... But it's not so easy to speak, at least to foreign ministers, of course, she almost doesn't participate in politics, regardless of court affairs.
