Geng Bingwen was so angry that his face turned blue.
But it was Zhu Yuanzhang who spoke. Even if he had opinions, he did not dare to confront Zhu Yuanzhang.
He could only hold his nose and admit his mistake.
The lively atmosphere just now condensed instantly because of this small episode.
Empress Ma looked at everyone and said softly: "Marquis Changxing is also used to whet people's appetites. All the treasures are presented, but no one can see them. I'm getting anxious waiting."
Queen Ma's tone contained a smile, and her words seemed to be filled with slight resentment. But if you listen carefully, you will know that Queen Ma is trying to save Geng Bingwen.
Although Geng Bingwen is a straight man, he can still hear good words.
Hearing Queen Ma's words, he gratefully bowed his hands to Queen Ma.
"I made a mistake and kept the queen waiting for a long time. Let's open the cloth now and let the queen see this rare treasure."
Speaking of this treasure, Geng Bingwen became proud again.
This thing is not something that just anyone can get.
It was luck that he got this thing.
He was walking peacefully on the street, but unexpectedly he was stared at by a foreigner.
The man guessed that it was not easy to recognize his identity because he was well-dressed, so he invited him to a tent, and that's where he met this treasure.
As the black cloth was lifted, a giant beast covered in long black hair appeared in front of everyone.
The furry beast was lying on the ground at this time, its black eyes staring fiercely at the people around it, its teeth bared, and a low, threatening roar coming from its throat.
The whining sound is quite shocking.
"This is……"
Queen Ma stood up in surprise.
Zhu Yuanzhang also stepped forward with curiosity on his face.
This beast looked very fierce at first glance. They did not dare to get too close and stopped some distance away from the cage.
Chu Ze and the other three also came closer.
"What is this?" Zhu Xi stared at the beast in front of him with surprise in his eyes.
Although Zhu Biao didn't show it too obviously, he did not hide the curiosity and interest in his eyes.
Chu Ze raised his eyebrows in surprise: Is this a treasure?
Well, this thing is indeed not common in this dynasty, so it is not too much to consider it a treasure.
Geng Bingwen looked at the people with shocked faces and said proudly: "This is called a lion, which is unique to foreign countries. We don't have this thing in the Ming Dynasty. This time, we were brought into our country with the circus. We got it After seeing this good thing, I immediately thought of the emperor, so I immediately sent it to the palace for the emperor and queen to watch."
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and surrounded the cage to admire the rare objects in the cage.
While he was watching, he praised Geng Bingwen fiercely.
Queen Ma is waiting for you and is watching with interest.
The lion in the cage had a ferocious look on his face, probably because they were too close. It had already stood up vigilantly, its eyes fixed on Zhu Yuanzhang and the others. It seemed that as long as there was a chance, it would pounce out and kill these annoying people in front of it. The flies were killed directly.
How happy Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were, how unbelievable Chu Ze's expression was.
He pointed at the beast in the cage, confused and shocked: "W-what do you think this is?!"
Geng Bingwen turned around after hearing this, looked at Chu Ze with contempt, and sneered: "Master Chu, your ears are hard to use, right? I have just said that this is called a lion. But it's not surprising that you don't recognize it. After all, it is a foreign thing. , it’s normal if you haven’t seen it before.”
After saying that, Geng Bingwen glanced at Chu Ze mockingly.
Zhu Yuanzhang and others, who were well aware of Chu Ze's temper, did not laugh at Chu Ze's lack of knowledge as Geng Bingwen expected. Instead, they turned their heads and said to Chu Ze: "Chu Ze, do you know this thing?"
"Do you see this often?"
In fact, what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to ask was whether lions were often seen in Chu Ze's time.
When he thought of the future generations mentioned by Chu Ze, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Zhu Biao and others couldn't help but look at him.
Geng Bingwen looked at everyone strangely. He didn't understand why Zhu Yuanzhang and the others not only didn't laugh at Chu Ze, but actually asked Chu Ze in such a serious tone if he often saw lions?
How can this be.
He had asked those foreigners, and they said that this lion was unique to their country and did not exist in the Ming Dynasty.
He has never even seen them, how could Chu Ze have seen them.
Since Chu Ze wanted to be embarrassed so much, he would make it happen.
"Yes, if you know Mr. Chu, then tell me what this lion eats on weekdays." He didn't believe it, Chu Ze could know.
Chu Ze really didn't know what his son wanted to eat.
But he knew very well what the "lion" in front of him wanted to eat.
And he was a little disgusted.
Because this "lion" is not only bigger and eats more, but he is also very fierce and loves to shed hair.
If you don't take care of it for a day, it will look like a golden lion. Not only is the hair large, but it is also long and thick. Giving it a bath is like getting through a disaster yourself.
"Isn't it a Tibetan Mastiff?"
Chu Ze really liked it, with a hint of disgust in his tone, "This kind of dog is so fierce. No one can get close to it except its own owner. And this Tibetan Mastiff is so big, it's not easy to tame it." Generally, dogs need to be raised from an early age.
Only in this way will the dogs raised be more loyal and less likely to hurt their owners.
He looked up at Geng Bingwen, sympathy flashed in his eyes: "Marquis Changxing, you have been deceived."
When Geng Bingwen heard this, his expression suddenly darkened.
"This is impossible!"
Obviously those people have said that this is a lion, how can it be a mastiff and not a mastiff.
It can’t even be a dog!
Geng Bingwen looked at Chu Ze warily, thought for a while, and understood.
"I know, you did it on purpose."
"You saw me presenting treasures to the emperor, and you were jealous, so you deliberately said that the lion was a dog and wanted to slander me, right?"
The more Geng Bingwen thought about it, the more he felt that he had guessed it right.
This person must have done it on purpose.
I had beaten him before, and this man would definitely not be reconciled.
But the emperor had already taught him a lesson about what happened before, so he was embarrassed to hold on to this point, so he didn't pursue it.
He is just waiting for this opportunity to frame himself again.
Around this thing, no one in the entire Ming Dynasty knew Tibetan mastiffs, let alone lions.
As long as he insists that this is not a lion, even if he will not be guilty of deceiving the emperor, he will definitely lose his face.
In short, this person has no good intentions.
Fortunately, Chu Ze can't read minds. If he knew that this person was thinking like this, he would definitely hand him a pen on the spot.
If such a big idea is not written down, it would be a great loss to the literary world.
Chu Ze sneered: "Why am I slandering you? This is a Tibetan mastiff. Lions don't look like this at all."
"Well, I can't blame you entirely for this."
"Who told us that we don't have this thing in Ming Dynasty? There are always some opportunistic people taking advantage of the loopholes, and it is normal to be deceived."
