"I heard from Your Majesty. I know a little about the foundation of this strange beast. This beast is far from the land south of the South China Sea and is called Africa. The climate here is hot and the land is vast and sparsely populated..." Zhang Qian hesitated for a moment and decided to follow the answer he had "exercised" with the old fox before. At the same time, he felt a little grateful to the old fox.

Whether the old fox's previous sentence "willing to be the younger generation of the old husband" was an inadvertent joke or ulterior motives. At least, before saying this "joking", he showed Zhang Qian in a thorough manner that it is absolutely impossible to deny that he did not know the giraffe's foundation in advance!

If you do that, you will appear smart on the surface, but you will always reveal some flaws. If these flaws fall into the eyes of some people with ulterior motives, you will be held tightly. Even if Zhang Qian can finally successfully get back the lies and make up for them all, it will give the emperor himself a bad impression of "spoken words and despicable words".

In that case, he will be instantly thrown into another book, and his future will be completely hopeless. In other words, at least before the death of the Dragon Emperor of Yingtian, Li Xian, there will be no hope.

But telling the truth, a little modification at the last moment can leave him with a broad knowledge, honest and reliable impression in Li Xian's eyes. Even if the final conclusion cannot satisfy some people, no one can vent his anger.

After all, at the last moment, he had already understood whether a giraffe was a strange beast. It was entirely up to everyone to decide whether it was not possible, and it made sense to say it was true.

The facts that happened next also proved that the response was very appropriate. When he heard him say that the strange beast was named giraffe, which was produced in a place called Africa. It likes to eat leaves and fruits from high places, and does not eat meat or fish. Several pillars sitting on the embroidered stakes showed obvious embarrassment on their faces.

However, when he heard that when the giraffe became an adult, his four long legs were extremely powerful, and he was not at all inferior to the lion. And even in his hometown, it was very difficult to capture and it was even more difficult to domesticate. Occasionally, he was regarded as a rare treasure. The embarrassment on his faces quickly disappeared a lot.

When he heard him say that the giraffe first appeared must be close to the sea, and there were often sea merchants landing in and dealing with local vendors. Several young officials who were originally hinted by others and were ready to stand up and refute him at any time, immediately stopped.

When he pointed out that the Kunlun slave who was kicked to death by a giraffe was actually a trainer and was a fellow countryman. He was either bought as goods by sea merchants and giraffes, or caught from his hometown by sea merchants as slaves. Whether it was the pillars sitting upright on the front row brocade stools or the "green budgies" kneeling on the ground, people frowned angrily.

And when he heard that although giraffes are very common in their hometown, they can be transported from thousands of miles away to the Tang Dynasty and presented them to the emperor, which shows the prosperity and power of the Tang Dynasty. The officials of all sizes and big and small who were sitting in the front row and kneeling on the ground all had proud smiles on their faces, as if Zhang Qian's words just now were complimenting each of them.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Because he was laughing so happily that he couldn't breathe, the old fox Yang Feng leaned down, covered his mouth with his hands, and coughed gently.

Before Li showed his intentions, a little eunuch immediately ran forward and helped the old fox beat the back. However, Zhang Qian instantly heard a slight urging from the old fox's cough. He simply put his heart on his mind and did a full set of plays. He bowed down and praised: "I am lucky to be prosperous and feel honored. May my prosperous Tang Dynasty be there forever and the country's fortune will prosper forever!"

"I wish my Tang Dynasty will be prosperous forever and my country will be prosperous forever!" The person who had just practiced was not only Zhang Qian. Zhou Jianliang, who had just been promoted to Guoyi Commander, also stood up in a sympathetic manner and bowed to Li Xian for a long time.

"I wish my prosperous Tang Dynasty will always be there and my country will be prosperous forever!" Someone took the lead in flattering the emperor, but other old ministers and ministers could no longer be arrogant. No matter whether they were willing or not, they all stood up one after another, left their seats and bowed to the Emperor Yingtian Shenlong, Emperor Li Xian.

The Emperor of Yingtian Divine Dragon Li Xian was forced to abdicate once by his mother Wu Zetian. After ascending the throne for the second time, he faced another silly mess, and he could barely maintain the overall situation after working hard all day long. Therefore, he lacked confidence and security. Otherwise, he would not be fascinated by accepting auspiciousness and taking good-sounding titles. At this moment, he heard that the ministers all praised the arrival of the prosperity and hoped that the country would prosper forever under his control. Although he knew that everyone was flattering, he was still full of joy.

After my heart was overjoyed, I naturally looked at Zhang Qian, who had sacrificed his life to lead the giraffe away, and became more and more pleasing to the eyes. Therefore, I stood up with a smile and commented loudly: "It's so great that I feel the glory, so I'm unparalleled in the world. My dear friends have bowed to you. Although the giraffe is not auspicious, it's a rare treasure to be transported to the Tang Dynasty from thousands of miles away. The visitor took the supervisor of the pastoral prison and led the giraffe out of the palace and placed it near Tangquan in Mount Li to raise it. Yang Wanjun, a good son of Guangzhou who offered strange beasts, was not knowledgeable, but loyal and commendable, and promoted him to the county magistrate of the county magistrate. He gave 1,000 hangs of money and 200 pieces of silk. He ordered the Lingnan government to cash out immediately and not to deduct it!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" The Minister of War Zong Chuke and the Minister of War who took the lead in offering auspiciousness looked at each other and saluted Li Xian at the same time, indicating that they accepted the emperor's decision and went down the donkey along the way.

Gently, the Minister of War Zong Chuke and the Minister of the Taifu Qing Ji, two responsibilities of offering fake auspiciousness, Emperor Yingtian of the Tang Dynasty thought about it, then smiled and turned his eyes to the other side of the dispute. The right Pushe Xiao Zhizhong first nodded at this person, and then said softly: "Pushe told me during the morning court today that the windmills, the two objects and the scrolls offered by Bi Gou were all from Zhang Zhubu. He also said that if this thing was promoted, it would definitely reduce the flood and drought of our Tang Dynasty by more than half. Do you still remember it?!"

"I remember the report to Your Majesty." Xiao Zhizhong was very cautious. Seeing Li Xian's casual words "insufficient knowledge", he exposed Zong Chuke and others' crime of "colluding with local troublemakers in Guangzhou and offering fake auspiciousness" and was unwilling to pursue him again. He took Li Xian's words and responded loudly, "I have handed over the scroll, windmill and the samples of the well to the general for verification. According to their return, the effect is as effective as the county magistrate Bi!"

"Since it has been verified, let the Ministry of Works be responsible for promoting Yu Tianxia! Go back and let the Ministry of Works draw up a charter as soon as possible and put it into practice!" Very satisfied with Xiao Zhizhong's considerateness, Li Xian nodded to him with a smile. Then, he finally turned his eyes aside again. Zhang Qian, who ignored him for a long time, said with a smile: "Bi Gou refused to be greedy for merit. He said that both the two items and patterns are very beneficial to the state, and they were all made by Zhang Qing. Zhang Qing is the direct descendant of Qin Mo. He has unique skills, extensive knowledge, and aspires to serve the country. Today I have sent someone to ask about the manufacturing and output of gunpowder. The military weapon office all said that it is 10,000 kilograms per month, which is more than enough. He also asked me that Zhang Qing seriously taught his skills and did not hide his own personal information. I feel very comforted..."

After talking about Zhang Qian's many advantages and contributions in one breath, it was obvious that he would focus on commendation and promotion. At that time, all the eighth and ninth-rank sesame officials who were waiting for the summons with Zhang Qian, all raised their ears.

However, before they could hear the following from Emperor Shenlong Yingtian Li Xian, the civil servant team was in front of the center. Suddenly, a person wearing a seventh-rank official uniform, who was about fifty years old. He quickly stepped forward and dissuaded loudly, "Your Majesty, be at ease! My minister, Sha Chongyi, the imperial censor in the hall, and Zhang Qian, the chief clerk of the impeachment of military weapons, was suspected of being tired of the country. Please check it out!" The fifth update was presented to everyone, thank you for your support. You can use the collection, recommendation and reward to smash me. Good night.
