Looking at the cowardly appearance of these constables, Huo Chengche thought of the little boy's good habit of taking the tiger for a walk and frowned slightly. "The Jingzhao Prefecture is the parent government of Jinling. How come the constables are so scared when they see a tiger?"
If the little boy takes the chubby boy for a walk in the future, how can the yamen runners help set an example and quell the public's panic?
Thinking of this, the young man frowned and glanced at Liang Sheng, who was wrapped up inside. "Although the yamen runners of the Jingzhao Prefecture do not need to be as brave and skilled in battle as the Imperial Guards, how can they be treated like this when it comes to matters concerning the people's customs and livelihoods!"
The constables frowned as they looked at the displeased Crown Prince, and some, like Liang Sheng, were utterly terrified, tears streaming down their faces.
Is living with tigers considered a matter of people's livelihood?
"By my decree, from this day forward, the Beast Taming Bureau shall send tigers to the Jingzhao Prefecture government office to teach the yamen runners and Lord Liang how to get along with tigers," Huo Chengche ordered calmly, brooking no argument.
? ! !
The constables stared in horror. For the first time, they were so united and unequivocally opposed to Huo Chengche's orders, and each of them spoke louder than the last.
"Your Highness! There is absolutely no precedent in the Jingzhao Prefecture for having to deal with an old tiger!"
"That's right! Your Highness!"
...
Huo Chengche raised an eyebrow coolly, snorted coldly, and said forcefully, "The past is the past, and the future is the future. My imperial army in the capital has no reason to be frightened like this by a tiger. Although I do not require you to raise tigers like the people of Hengchang, raising tigers properly can save a lot of government officials!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Liang Sheng and suddenly raised his voice, "Isn't that right, Lord Liang? Didn't you just tell me that you don't have enough manpower? This person is a bit troublesome to train, but the tigers are all trained by the Beast Taming Division, so we can lend them to you for the time being."
Liang Sheng, who was trembling with fear, suddenly jolted awake upon hearing this, tears streaming down his face, and shouted loudly:
"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Highness! Suddenly I'm not short of manpower! I'm not short of tigers either! You, you, you should go and grant me this favor elsewhere. Right, right, the Imperial Guards! The Imperial Guards are short of manpower! The Imperial Guards protect the Imperial City and have done far more work than us, so they should be prioritized!"
Huo Chengche waved his hand generously, smiled faintly, and said with great "favor," "Why is Lord Liang being so polite with me? Lord Liang has asked to join my ranks, so I should take good care of him and let him get what he wants, shouldn't I?"
Tears streamed down Liang Sheng's face. He wanted nothing more than to slap himself across the face for his foul mouth. He had tried to fool the young prince, but he had bitten off more than he could chew.
The hot plate was so hot and sticky that I couldn't let go of it even if I wanted to.
"By the way, the Beast Taming Division recently had a litter of tiger cubs. Send them to your Jingzhao Prefecture to be raised. Once they're well-trained, I'll be sure to see how well they've been trained when I travel out of the palace incognito next time."
? ? ?
"Your Highness, I am guilty! I am deeply remorseful and beg you not to show leniency. Please let me resign and go to the prison to atone for my sins!"
Liang Sheng cried and wailed, but when he looked up, he met Huo Chengche's cold and sneer. He suddenly realized that he had just said the wrong thing, and immediately cried and said again, "Please give the order to let this humble official go to the prison to atone for his sins!"
Huo Chengche smiled coldly and said quietly, "Lord Liang, what are you saying? I promised you a 'chance,' and breaking my promise will have consequences."
