Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 703

Taipu Temple is behind Taichang Temple, enter from Zhuque Gate, walk a few steps and turn right to Taipu Temple.

The Taipu Temple in the early Tang Dynasty was responsible for raising horses for horses, postpartum care for sows, and continued breeding of miscellaneous animals such as cattle, sheep and dogs.

To be honest, the government offices of Taifu Temple, Taichang Temple, and Zongzheng Temple that are adjacent to Taipu Temple really hate working with officials of Taipu Temple.

Nothing else, just because they have a strange smell, and every time the wind blows, the officials of the downwind government office can be suffocated to death by the smell from the Taipu Temple.

Originally, Taipu Temple should be a place that is unknown and shunned by colleagues, but it has become inexplicably lively these two days.

Not because of anyone, but because of two beasts.

kangaroo!

In the courtyard specially opened for the two kangaroos in Taipu Temple, there is a fence around it, and a group of officials who come to join in the fun surround the fence.

"It's really miraculous. It's really unheard of to have pockets in the belly." Wang Changxie, a veteran cadre of the Honglu Temple, held a teacup and commented on the kangaroo to Deng Hao, the minister of the Taipusi, who was also a veteran cadre. When giving birth, was it put in the pocket by the female kangaroo as rumored.”

Deng Hao stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then said, "Actually, I don't know either. These two beasts often come out at night and jump a few feet. At first, I was quite panicked."

"You don't have to panic." Wang Chang said with a smile: "This was captured from overseas. In the entire Tang Dynasty, only you have it here."

"Yeah, so I'm under a lot of pressure." Deng Hao smiled wryly.

He was originally a general who fought on the battlefield, but he didn't know how to raise this kind of beast.Of course, he didn't dare to say this kind of complaint casually, because he was very lucky to be alive, and to be able to live as a minister of the temple.

At the beginning, he belonged to the Prince Yin, but later the King of Chu came to power, so he did not commit suicide, and took refuge in the King of Chu.Relying on the merits of defeating Gao Kaidao, he was canonized as Duke Rong and served as the Minister of Taipusi.

As far as he is concerned, it is lucky to be able to escape from the vortex of seizing the heirloom without incident. The ambitions of the past have long been thrown into the sky.

"Jump!"

"Dancing again!"

"So high!"

"This beast, don't you use jumping instead of running?"

This group of idle officials stared at the kangaroo very curiously, bursting out bursts of astonishment from time to time.

Deng Hao pouted and looked at Wang Changxie, "Hurry up and take your people away, this is not the East and West Market, don't implicate me in being impeached by the imperial censor for neglect of duty."

Among the nine temples, Dali Temple, Sinong Temple, and Zongzheng Temple can be called the top three temples.Because they are usually the busiest and have the most things.

The remaining Honglu Temple, Taipu Temple, Taichang Temple, etc. will only be busy at specific times.

For example, at Honglu Temple, they would only work when there were foreign envoys paying homage to them, and at other times they were translating and sorting out materials of other races and sending them to historians.

Another example is the Taichang Temple of the Great God of Dance.

"Come on, let us see again." Wang Changxie sipped his tea lightly, with a look of old age.

Anyway, during this period of time, there were no foreign envoys coming to worship, so he was happy and leisurely.

At this time, Li Shinan, the Prime Minister of Taifu Temple, rushed to report, "Your Majesty has arrived at Taifu Temple, and will come here for inspection soon!"

Hearing this, within a short while, the officials fishing for fish scattered like birds and beasts, and disappeared completely within half a stick of incense.

You can fish, but if you are caught by the emperor, you will lose your job!
Deng Hao rolled his eyes, found the bamboo chair, and was just about to sit down when he heard the voice of the maidservant outside.

"The empress dowager is here!"

Queen Mother?

Deng Hao was taken aback, why did the Queen Mother come here?

By the way, it must be because of the kangaroo!
In fact, it is for this reason.The Empress Dowager Wan devoted herself to taking care of her life in the harem, and basically didn't know what was going on outside.

It wasn't until Jinyang told her that someone had captured two strange livestock from overseas that the Queen Mother was interested, so she had this trip.

But in fact, she is not the only one, there are a large wave of princes and princesses behind her.

Deng Hao saluted one by one, and then explained the habits of kangaroos to the old lady.

Jinyang stared at the fruit-eating kangaroo with big obsidian-like eyes, his face full of astonishment.

"It's the first time I've seen such a beast with pockets on its stomach."

"Well, it's the first time for me too." Li Chengzhao's small face has the immaturity of a child and a trace of stability that doesn't suit his age.

Commonly known as serious and lively.

"Look, it jumps so high!" the princes exclaimed.

Deng Hao chuckled, and explained: "The kangaroo can jump up to more than one zhang at its highest."

"So tall!" The younger princes exclaimed, they had never seen such a magical animal.

Empress Dowager Wan also found it very interesting, so she asked, "Is this animal docile?"

"It's pretty docile." Deng Hao said, "As long as it doesn't hurt it, basically it won't attack people."

"It's interesting." Queen Mother Wan asked again: "I heard that this animal was caught from the big island in the extreme south?"

"Go back to the Queen Mother, that's right."

"There are also rare treasures overseas." Mrs. Wan smiled and watched the two kangaroos eating young grass and fresh fruits.

The princes and princesses have long been fascinated by watching it, and they can't wait to masturbate twice by themselves.

The seventh son of the emperor, Li Chengxuan, grabbed the corner of the eldest sister's clothes and said timidly, "Sister, can we raise one?"

"No." It was Li Chengzhao who spoke, and he told his younger brother with a serious face, "The queen mother will definitely not agree."

Jin Yang also reached out to touch his younger brother's head, and said, "Qilang, be good."

Li Chengxuan pursed his lips, unable to hide his liking in his eyes.

Li Chengyan, the second son of the emperor, said: "In the future, we can catch some more, so that each of us can raise one."

"Second brother, this was captured from overseas, I heard it is far away." The third son Li Chenglie said.

"How far is very far?" The little princess Pixiu looked at Li Chenglie with her big eyes blinking in her brother's arms.

"Uh, it's very far away." Li Chenglie pursed his lips.

"How far is that?" The little princess seemed to break the casserole and ask the end.

Yongning smiled and said, "Sister, you will know when you grow up."

The sixth son of the emperor, Li Chengying, suddenly said: "One day, I will catch one with my own hands and bring it back to my father."

"But father already has two." Li Chengjing, the fifth son of the emperor, said with his head tilted.

"Fifth Brother, what are you doing?"

"whee."

Seeing Wulang Liulang making trouble, Jin Yang said angrily: "Everyone be quiet."

The two little guys seemed to be very afraid of this elder sister, so they didn't dare to make trouble immediately.

Here we are looking at kangaroos, while Li Zhiyun is inspecting minted money at Taifu Temple.

The money is cast beautifully, and the weight in the hand is also very moderate, which is really great.

"You guys did a good job." Li Zhiyun weighed the money and praised Chu Suiliang, Minister of the Taifu Temple.

Chu Suiliang said: "This is cast from the best mold. I plan to use this mold to cast money in the future. I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"

Li Zhiyun thought for a while, and said: "We still need to keep improving, and we must not give opportunities to imitate people with ulterior motives."

"Yes."

"Besides, I will send someone to do random checks. If you find unqualified coins, you have to be careful." Li Zhiyun had a smile on his face.

Chu Suiliang said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do things seriously."

"Ah, very good."

Previously, a batch of money had been invested, and the effect was very good, and the merchants and dignitaries praised each other.

This batch is a new batch.

After watching Taifu Temple for a while, Li Zhiyun went to Taipu Temple.This time, he put down his government affairs and came here mainly because the little guys heard about the kangaroos and wanted to come and see them, so they came here.
