Chapter 1049 Phoenix Flavor
At that moment, something fell off the leg of the dyed silver pheasant, revealing a banner still hanging there.
Liang Chongyue leaped forward, grabbed the silver pheasant along with the banner, and brought it down.
The birds were still flapping their wings when Liang Chongyue glanced at the words on the banner and a knowing smile appeared on his lips.
"Auspicious sign from heaven?"
Liang Chongyue held the bird by the neck with one hand and a banner in the other.
"It's perfect to slaughter him and make soup for me. Only when I recover will the Great Xia Dynasty be better."
No one in the room had any objection to His Majesty's words.
The Great Xia of today is no longer the Great Xia of the past; its territory was conquered by His Majesty's army.
Peace and tranquility are also due to His Majesty's presence in the East.
It's just a few birds; it's their good fortune that they can nourish His Majesty's body.
No sooner had Liang Chongyue finished speaking than a guard stepped forward to catch the bird.
Liang Chongyue casually handed the bird in her hand to a guard and wiped her hands with a handkerchief.
These silver pheasants are afraid of the cold, so they can be released by people on Chang'an Avenue and stay there without moving.
Third brother has put a lot of thought into this.
But is it possible to manipulate public opinion and threaten her with just a few birds?
My brother is underestimating me.
All the silver pheasants were captured. It's said that these birds are delicious, but it's unknown whether Liang Chongzhen poisoned them.
This person is dead, but it feels like their soul is still there.
"Your Majesty, are all these birds sent to the Imperial Kitchen?"
Liang Chongyue waved his hand:
"Let's send them to the hunting grounds on the outskirts of Beijing to raise them and see if we can breed a few."
These silver pheasants are hard to come by, but now that they've come to Daxia, they'll be Daxia's birds from now on.
"Yes."
The guards took away all the captured silver pheasants, and Liang Chongyue and Fei He, who was standing in the teahouse, exchanged a smile.
Fei He was still carrying the person who had just released the silver pheasant.
Even without Liang Chongyue's instructions, Fei He would take him back for a thorough interrogation.
There's no need to go back to Wangjiang Tower.
A queue had formed again in front of the porridge shop. Liang Chongyue glanced at it and then rode out of the capital with Li Yu'an.
"Does Your Majesty know about that bird?"
Li Yu'an felt that His Majesty clearly recognized the bird from its appearance.
If you haven't seen it before, this bird looks so much like a phoenix.
If it were anyone else, their first thought would be to catch it and offer it as a sacrifice, but His Majesty only wanted to eat the bird to nourish his body.
The palace was never short of medicinal herbs to nourish the body.
“I’ve seen it in the mountains of the North, but it doesn’t appear often. The first time I saw it, I thought I was seeing a white phoenix.”
Upon hearing that the bird came from the mountains of the northern border, Li Yu'an stopped asking further questions.
"I've heard that this bird tastes delicious. Once we raise it for a while and it's ready, I'll take you to try it."
Li Yu'an responded with a smile.
The little farce didn't even cause a ripple between the two of them.
Liang Chongyue realized that the last trick her third brother had left behind had been solved by her by accident.
I feel that even after my third brother dies, he will not have peace.
When Liang Chongzhen was unhappy, Liang Chongyue was in a very good mood.
After leaving the capital, Liang Chongyue led Li Yu'an on horseback, galloping through the vast forests on the outskirts of the capital.
At this moment, in the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, Minglang received the news and released the cat in his arms, letting it go off to play with the puppy.
Only when he reached a secluded spot did he speak to Qin Xiaosi.
"Are there really dozens of silver pheasants?"
Did the Third Prince bring out every bird he could find in the mountains of the North?
“Indeed, I also went to check on the birds. You can’t tell when they’re flying, but once they’re caught and locked up, you can see that they all have injuries.”
Minglang toyed with the jade pendant in his hand:
"Now that the Empress has quelled this matter, you should take your men and follow the trail to see if there are any survivors."
Now that the Empress Mother has entrusted this matter to her, she cannot simply ignore it now that something like the silver pheasant has happened.
The Empress Mother wouldn't blame her for this, but it was indeed her oversight.
"If the Empress Dowager hadn't been on Chang'an Street today, the words on that banner would have caused quite a stir."
"Have the person who released the birds been found?"
Qin Xiaosi nodded: "They've already been taken into custody by Commander Fei."
Once this person is in Master Fei's hands, it's impossible for him not to spit something out.
"You follow Master Fei and do the cleanup work."
Qin Xiaosi accepted the order and left, but Minglang stood there lost in thought.
The kitten slowly walked to her feet.
"Didn't I tell you to go play with the puppy? The puppy should already be in the kitchen ordering food by now. Aren't you going to go with it?"
The kitten scratched the back of its neck; it didn't need to do something as simple as ordering food.
All it takes is a greeting to the stinky dog, and the stinky dog will order all its favorite foods.
The kitten approached its owner and rubbed its head against the owner's chin.
Suddenly, Minglang heard the sound of a kitten.
"What was Master thinking about just now? He looks so pale."
Minglang didn't want to tell the kitten about her little secret, feeling it was like she was just making a fuss over nothing.
But when I looked into the kitten's bright yellow eyes, I thought about it and decided to tell it anyway.
"I just feel that my mother was able to break through the encirclement of all the imperial heirs back then, but I do not have her courage. If the Great Xia dynasty were really handed over to me, I wonder if it would still be as prosperous and flourishing as it was when my mother was alive."
Even though the Third Imperial Uncle is gone, he still has a backup plan, and he even chose this day at the beginning of the new year.
This incident occurred on Chang'an Avenue, the busiest street in Beijing.
This shows just how dangerous the battle for the throne was for the Empress Dowager.
The kitten can sense its owner's mood, but it cannot understand its owner's confusion.
"But you are His Majesty's child, the natural heir to the throne, and you are the only one. What is there to worry about?"
"His Majesty trusts you, so why don't you trust yourself? Can your judgment be better than His Majesty's?"
The kitten used its owner's twisted logic to defeat its owner, watching its owner's eyes gradually clear.
I began to doubt myself, wondering if I had said something wrong.
However, Minglang suddenly understood after hearing just a few words from the kitten.
"Indeed, if I have any faults, my mother will surely enlighten me. Why should I wallow in self-pity?"
Minglang carried the kitten and walked towards the still-open banquet area.
Along the way, the Duke of Dingguo's mansion was more lively than the palace.
Minglang thought of his mother, the Empress. She probably didn't have many opportunities to leave the palace when she was a child.
"Little cat, do you have anything that allows you to see into the past?"
The kitten's eyes had just been fixed on the dried fish on the table when it heard its owner's words and it turned its head away suspiciously.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I just want to see the Queen Mother's past."
The kitten thought for a moment:
"You should ask that stinky dog for it, but His Majesty will know about anything that has passed through its hands."
