Chapter 703 Weigh Your Own Bones

"Father..." Prince Di Douyin ran to the emperor's side first, raised his face and said excitedly:
"General Xie hunted a bear, it's so big, so big..."

As he spoke, he gestured with both hands, raised his chest and tried his best to make bigger gestures, almost knocking himself down.

Ulay stretched out his hand to support him, not letting him fall down, but the smile on his face gradually faded, even a little dignified.

His deep eyes flickered, he looked up at Shen Liuzhen again, and asked with concern:

"Is it really a bear? Liu Zhen, are you all right?"

Shen Liuzhen smiled sweetly and raised his arms, habitually imagining holding his wide sleeves as usual.But when he lifted it up, he remembered that today, in order to be commensurate with Xie Yuan, he specially changed into clothes with sleeves... He covered his arm, put his hand down, and said in a nonchalant tone:

"It's okay, it's just a bear breeder who can tame animals. Somehow he took the bear into the hunting ground and chased me to the edge of the cliff. I fell down, but I was caught on a tree and almost fell. I'm dead... Fortunately, A Yuan made a decisive decision and pulled me back with all his might..."

Shen Liuzhen deliberately said it lightly, and said it indifferently.The more he was like this, the more uncomfortable Ulay felt.

What does it mean for a bear to appear in the hunting ground, Shen Liuzhen doesn't need to say it, the emperor Ulei knows it.Moreover, it was artificially domesticated, so the intention is even more obvious...

Emperor Ulay's face turned dark when he heard about it, and he gritted his teeth and looked at the void, wondering what he was thinking.

At this time, Shen Liuzhen deliberately looked around again, and said:

"By the way... a few Xianbei people were there at the time, and they helped me very much. They killed the bear breeder and stabbed a few arrows in the bear's buttocks. I have to find such a kind person. Thank you for coming out, but unfortunately they left as soon as I came up from the cliff... I didn't see where anyone was at the moment..."

He purposely said it in a weird way. There was still something Wu Lei didn't understand. He reached out and patted Shen Liuzhen's shoulder, then looked at Xie Yuan, and turned to Shen Liuzhen and said:

"Liu Zhen, I have wronged you, don't worry, I will definitely check it out."

He turned around and walked towards his golden tent, and said to the eunuch Li Lang as he walked:

"Go, ask everyone if they are back, order some prey, everyone will be lively together!"

"Yes."

The little eunuch ran away, and the prince followed the nanny back to his own tent.

Xie Yuan turned his head to look at Shen Liuzhen's embarrassment, feeling a little distressed, and said:

"Go back and change your clothes and wash up, shall we?"

Shen Liuzhen turned around obediently and followed her to their tent, but said:
"Don't change it, save it for a while and change it after His Majesty has a banquet."

Xie Yuan was a little surprised and asked:

"Why?"

"Your Majesty is going to talk later, so I'll keep this outfit for the occasion. Otherwise, people who don't know will think I'm conspiring to frame them. Speaking of which, I'm at a loss and there's no evidence. Otherwise, I've suffered a lot because of them." , I can perform very well. Now it's all right, I have received ten points, and I have to show this point no matter what..." Shen Liuzhen said with all resentment.

Xie Yuan heard and shook his head, but he just shook his head and didn't speak.

Let him go with this petty temper.After what happened today, the feeling of losing Shen Liuzhen still made Xie Yuan panic.

She didn't know what would happen to Shen Liuzhen if she fell off the cliff and died.A lot of things are commonplace when you have them, but very important when you lose them...

Luckily... so lucky... She looked at Shen Liuzhen's side face and thought.

……

……

Sitting on the high platform, Ulay pointed to the bear's corpse below, and said loudly:

"Today, the leader of the hunt is none other than Zhonglang General Xie Yuan, who shot a bear! I have been hunting here for many years, and I don't even know that there are still bears in the mountains of this royal hunting ground." ..."

His tone was full of pride and excitement, but also faintly angry.It really vividly displayed the elusive joy, anger and majesty of an emperor.

When everyone present discovered the bear, they had already discussed it privately.Now that they were seated at the table, they all looked at Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan, who were attacked by the emperor. Seeing Shen Liuzhen's embarrassed and smiling face, no one dared to speak...

Everyone knew that the emperor had an unusual personal relationship with Shen Liuzhen, and this Shen Liuzhen obviously pretended to be pitiful in front of the emperor and complained.This time I don't know who is unlucky.

At this moment, the official in charge of the hunting ground came out, knelt down in the middle, saluted in the Xianbei way and said:
"Your Majesty, I have been managing this hunting ground for many years, and I have never made a mistake. After inspection, this bear was brought by a Han. I thought it must be a trick of the Han. As for how it was brought in... I will definitely be responsible for my negligence." Check it out..."

Upon hearing this, Ulay said angrily:

"You are indeed dereliction of duty, such a big bear, you don't know how it got in, so how can I trust you?! Fortunately, there were no casualties, otherwise it would be a good thing to kill you! You don't have to do this job, get out of here Go to the northern border as a pawn, defend the frontier and fight!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked. Although the person in charge of the royal hunting ground was not a serious official serving in the court, he was also a nobleman of Xianbei, with a high status, and had always been trusted and relied on by the royal family.The emperor's move is almost equivalent to pushing a senior member of the third and fourth ranks to the end...

Even the people who listened to the order were dumbfounded. He never imagined that he would be punished so severely...

When Master Xi heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and he came out to object:
"Your Majesty... this matter has not been investigated yet, is this punishment too severe?"

Ulay stood up from his position, took a few steps forward, and asked:
"Is it serious? Making such a big mistake is already a certainty. If I don't be stricter, do I want to wait for your family and children to die at the mouth of a beast one day?!"

The master in the west lowered his head and was silent for a while, then turned to look at Shen Liuzhen with hatred, and said in Xianbei dialect sullenly:

"Your Majesty, maybe this is a bitter plan arranged by Shen Shizhong. You can't treat your own people badly just because he was shocked. Yang Que's family was in charge of the hunting ground when Emperor Taiwu was in charge, and they were deeply favored by the emperor..."

Ulay directly interrupted his words, and turned to ask the hunting ground management officials, still saying in Chinese:
"Yang Que, your family is deeply favored by the emperor... Do you feel that I am punishing you for the crime of dereliction of duty?"

The gamekeeper also looked more than 30 years old, with a big beard on his face, his head was lowered and his chest was heaving violently, and it took a while before he answered:

"Return to Your Majesty, no loss."

Upon hearing this, the luxurious young emperor glanced lightly at the elder of the Western tribe with deep eyes, and said leisurely:
"I deal with it impartially. No matter who is shocked today, it will be the same. If we find out the origin of this bear in the future, we will naturally have another punishment. As for our own people..."

Ulay turned sideways again, and said coldly to everyone in the field:

"Those who take my words seriously, I will treat him as one of my own. People who are obedient and obedient, and cause trouble for no reason, carefully weigh how many catties their bones weigh!"
