Chapter 125: The Emperor of Dogs Is Obsessed with Dogs
Everyone in the world has personal preferences. Shouldn't the king of a country be allowed to have his own hobbies? The stupid emperor regards dogs as his life and loves dogs as his sons. He sleeps in a doghouse every night and calls it a doghouse. That's what the common people call it.
, the royal kennel is so extraordinary that it is not an exaggeration to call it the dog palace.
The little emperor specially carved out a place in the backyard of the inner palace, spent one hundred thousand taels of silver to build a decent palace, and proudly erected three large characters on the door: "Tiangu Palace" The emperor is the emperor, so it is natural for the emperor to raise dogs.
Naturally, it is the Heavenly Dog. The Heavenly Dog Palace covers an area of about six acres (not counting the yard). The building is divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower. The middle is where the dogs live. The little emperor lives on the upper floor, and the second is where the dog owners live.
The officials responsible for the dogs were all eunuchs in the inner palace, and the maids were not as timid as women. When they heard the dogs barking, they were all frightened, and looked lost and lost. It was very indecent, so the emperor issued an edict,
Women are not allowed to enter the Heavenly Dog Hall, and those who violate it will be beaten to death
Also at the top of the floor, a gorgeous palace was set up for the little emperor. The furnishings inside were all based on the layout of the palace. Except for the meetings in the upper court, under normal circumstances, the little emperor basically made his home in the doghouse (Tiangu Palace).
Tiangu Temple has now developed to a certain scale, and the dog population continues to grow. There are currently more than a thousand dogs. The dog breeds come from all over the country, and only a few well-bred dogs are imported breeds.
The Emperor, who loves dogs, found out somewhere that there was a general named Zhang Facun under the little eunuch who was well versed in dog training and had a good way of training and treating dogs. Without consulting the little eunuch, he issued an imperial edict and appointed Zhang Facun as the Heavenly Dog Palace.
However, Zhang Facun, the first assistant, is a human being and not a eunuch. Most people who enter the palace to do work have to complete the cleansing work. Zhang Facun is not an ordinary person. He has made great contributions to the emperor's affairs and was awarded the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Palace.
People were also drawn, let alone others, even the little eunuch couldn't pass this test. The little emperor was at a loss for ideas, so he had to beg his younger brother to find a way to let Zhang Fa deposit in the palace. The little eunuch thought for a while and said:
"Brother Emperor, this matter is easy to handle. If you want General Zhang to enter the palace, I have a plan. Is it possible?"
"Emperor brother, stop being so literal-minded. If you have any clever ideas, just tell me!" the little emperor said, scratching his ears and cheeks.
The young eunuch said: "According to the rules, there are three types of people who enter the palace and do not undergo the ritual of lot division. One is the monks and Taoists, the other is the imperial doctor, and the third is the emperor's closest relatives."
"What you said is in vain. General Zhang can't get any of these three things." The little emperor rolled his eyes and said.
"You and Lao Zhang become brothers, and if you give him a throne randomly, can't you enter the inner palace in a dignified manner?" the young eunuch reminded.
"This is a wonderful idea!" the little emperor clapped his hands, "Brother, you can also think of a name. What kind of king should you make him?"
"King of Dogs, King of Dogs, King of Beasts..." The little eunuch turned around in his mind several times but felt it was inappropriate. Finally, he suddenly thought about it and said, "Let's make him the Admiral of the Nine Sects!"
"What's the relationship between the dog owner and the nine admirals?" The stupid emperor was puzzled.
"Think about it, what is the role of a dog? The main job of dogs raised by ordinary people at home is not always a guard, but he is in charge of all nine gates. Isn't this an admiral or something? Besides, dog and nine are homophonic, so it just makes sense.
Shout along!"
The little emperor heard that it made sense and said: "Okay, tomorrow morning, I will issue an imperial edict. I will make General Zhang the admiral of the nine sects. Please ask the emperor to take care of the matter. You know that I am good at this."
"
In this way, Zhang Facun became the Admiral of the Nine (Dog) Sect in a daze because of a stupid incident.
In the evening, the little emperor laid out the food and wine and asked Zhang Facun to tell the story of the dog.
Zhang Facun smiled slightly and told a legendary story about a dog:
"This story happened more than three hundred years ago. It is said that there was a small kingdom at the foot of Babra Mountain in the southeast. There were no more than 20,000 to 30,000 citizens, and the land was made up of just a few tribes. This king was born with a good dog and ignored the government affairs.
, hanging out with the dogs all day long, eating, drinking and having sex in the kennel..."
"General Zhang, you are not talking about me. How come this king and I have the same virtue?" The little emperor couldn't help but interjected.
Zhang Facun shook his head and said:
"Later, the king gathered all the dogs, about a thousand or so, in a very big underground kiln. He did not give them food or drink, and let them fend for themselves, biting each other...
"
"We can't find anything to eat in the underground kiln. Aren't all the dogs starving to death?" the little emperor interrupted again.
Zhang Facun said: "There is naturally no food in the underground kiln, so the dogs take their ideas from the dogs. The number of dogs is decreasing day by day..."
"Dog eat dog? How terrible!" the little emperor exclaimed.
Zhang Facun continued: "After more than two months, there were only six dogs left in the underground kiln."
"Where are the other dogs?" the little emperor asked
"Let the dog eat it" Zhang Facun explained
"Then what happened next? What happened to these six dogs?" The little emperor was anxiously waiting for the next chapter.
"The king looked at these six dogs, two females and four males, all of them were fat, strong, and ferocious. He was delighted and said: It's them. It's enough to keep these few dogs." Zhang Facun went on to say, "From now on
, the king began to feed the dogs himself every day. After feeding like this for a while, the dogs were already very familiar with him, so the king moved all his dogs out of the kiln.
As the saying goes, dogs love their masters. The king treats his six dogs more dearly than the prince. Dogs are his lifeblood."
"This old man has a very bad temper towards me. After more than three hundred years, he may not be here anymore, otherwise I would have sworn brotherhood with him and recognize him as my elder brother." The little emperor couldn't help but sigh.
"Later, an enemy invaded, and the king's army suffered a defeat. The enemy troops entered the palace without holding on to the city, so the king let go of his six sacred dogs." Zhang Facun said
"Can dogs also go into battle to kill enemies?" the little emperor asked in surprise.
"The divine dog pounced on the enemy like a ferocious tiger. It was as powerful as a tiger and was invincible. It killed many of them. The more enemies it bit were frightened and returned in defeat. The king's territory was saved, and the king returned to the throne."
"General Zhang, have the descendants of those six dogs remained? Are there still those kinds of dogs now?" the little emperor asked impatiently.
