304 Tiger Talisman
For her good?Rong Zhao pursed his lips secretly, and after a few beats, he didn't beat it anymore, and said, "Then what gift do you want to give me?"
Emperor Xiao Jing took out a token in the shape of a tiger, Rong Zhao was just about to take it, he pulled it back, "This is for you and Junjue, you remember, you are not allowed to give it to others, you must not give it to anyone." ”
Rong Zhao snatched it, she looked at it over and over again, and said with disgust: "I thought it was a good thing, it turned out to be such a broken thing, and the reward for gold is better than this." ”
Emperor Xiao Jingdi "tsk", Rong Zhao consciously lost his words, smiled, and said: "I know that my father's heart is worth a thousand gold." ”
"Do you know what this is for?" Xiao Jingdi saw that she didn't take this thing seriously, and he was really afraid that she would lose it.
Rong Zhao really couldn't see the fame, and raised his eyebrows, "Can you still command thousands of troops?"
Seeing that Emperor Xiao Jing looked at himself silently, Rong Zhao finally realized what he was holding, and he only felt that his hand was pressed and couldn't lift it, "This is the legendary tiger talisman?"
The tiger talisman is a token used by the emperor when dispatching troops, and the tiger talisman is divided into two, two symbols on the left and right. The right charm is in the hands of the emperor, and the left charm is in the hands of local governors or generals, so that the generals only have the right to lead the troops, and the right to transfer troops is still firmly in the hands of the emperor.
But this one in her hand is a complete one.
"This tiger talisman can mobilize 500,000 people in the Northwest Army, so you must keep it and keep it with your life. It was the first time Rong Zhao had seen the emperor's uncle talk to her so seriously, with the majesty of the emperor.
"Because once it is lost and picked up by people with bad intentions, it is very likely to bring a great danger to Da Zhou. ”
Rong Zhao seemed to be holding a hot potato in his hand, and quickly shook his hand and returned it to Emperor Xiao Jingdi, "Then don't give it to me, if I lose it, I can't afford it." Anyway, you also gave it to Xiao Junjue, so just give it to him directly, why bother me so much to keep it, and keep it with my life. ”
"I give it to him, he won't ask for it, it's best for you to keep it. Remember, you can't take it out until you have to. Emperor Xiao Jing stuffed the tiger talisman into Rong Zhao's hand and pressed it hard.
Rong Zhao was miserable, his palms were hot, "When is the last resort?"
Emperor Xiao Jing was silent for a moment, his heavy voice was like a rock, and he said, "When he wants to go back to Changge City?"
"When you go back to Changge City?" Rong Zhao didn't realize Emperor Xiao Jingdi's true intentions, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and said, "Can we still come back?"
Emperor Xiao Jing looked at her, "I hope you never come back." ”
In the end, he still left a way for this son, he didn't know if it was right or wrong to do this, it must be wrong as an emperor, but as a father, a father who just wanted to make amends, he really did everything he could and what he couldn't do.
Rong Zhao didn't understand, but he put away the tiger talisman, the 500,000 Northwest Army, and the twenty-four states, Xiao Junjue could completely establish himself as the king, if his cousin became the emperor in the future, how could he recover him?
Now that the emperor's uncle secretly gave her the talisman, Xiao Junjue didn't know at all, why didn't she give the talisman to her cousin, who had an army, and his position was even more stable.
"Zhaozhao, do you remember that you can't give it to anyone except Junjue, do you hear clearly?" Emperor Xiao Jingdi warned Rong Zhao repeatedly, holding her shoulder, "I trust you, so I will give you this tiger talisman, you must take good care of it, and you must not fall into the hands of others, otherwise I will not feel at ease even if I die." ”
The hand on his shoulder was as heavy as a thousand gold, Rong Zhao looked at him and nodded involuntarily.
Rong Zhao has been restless for the past few days, and the tiger talisman is like a sword hanging above her head, making her restless.
She wanted to send the tiger talisman to Xiao Jinyu, but she couldn't step out every time she walked to the gate.
On this day she walked to the door again, and improved from the previous day, and walked out of the door.
The guards at the door greeted each other, she looked left and right, stopped for a while, and then raised her foot and went back again.
"Miss, where do you want to go?" Qiushui couldn't help asking, it's been like this every day these days, and I don't know what Miss wants to do.
Rong Zhao glanced at her, "Don't do anything, I just want to breathe, can't I?"
Qiushui shrunk her neck and pouted, since she scolded Miss last time, she hadn't had a good face for Miss, although she didn't get punished, but she knew that this time she had offended Miss thoroughly.
It seems that her life will become more and more difficult in the future.
"Okay, Miss can do whatever she wants. Qiushui smiled flatteringly, but he couldn't get Rong Zhao back a good face.
Rong Zhao was distressed in her heart, she didn't know what was wrong, she originally thought it was good, and handed over the tiger talisman to her cousin, but after a few days, this thought was like a candle flame that was about to be burned, getting smaller and smaller.
Forget it, she won't give it to anyone, she keeps it for herself, so she should have no such thing.
In this way, her cousin will not be afraid of Xiao Junjue, and she can be regarded as fulfilling her promise to the emperor's uncle.
Rong Zhao finally made up his mind.
Even if the troubled things for many days were reconciled, Rong Zhao suddenly became much more relaxed.
She held the osmanthus branch in her hand, hummed a small tune, and walked around the palace at will.
In fact, she really didn't take a good look after coming back for so long, and on a whim today, she walked through all the places that Chu Wangfu had never been to before.
The palace of the king of Chu is not bad, it is bigger than Rong Zhao imagined, it seems that the emperor's uncle really loves him, but he doesn't know what it will be like when he arrives in the mansion in Yizhou.
Although Rong Zhao was talking about not going to Yizhou with Xiao Junjue, he seemed to acquiesce in his heart.
What choice does she have, her father and younger brother, and even the eldest uncle and second uncle have been bought by Xiao Junjue, she said that she wanted to stay in Changge City, and reprimanded her one by one.
She was completely isolated.
The hope of staying behind is getting slimmer.
The autumn wind was blowing, and the withered yellow leaves fell from the branches and floated to the ground, and there was a crisp sound of broken leaves when stepped on it.
This is the wind that has been blowing all night, and the people are bending down to sweep, and today's wind is a little strong, and the fallen leaves have been swept up and paved with another layer.
Rong Zhao came to the coldest place, this place was so cold that there was not even a person, and the fallen leaves on the ground were thickly piled up in several layers, and no one cleaned them.
It seems to be a place where birds don't.
"There's nothing to see about it, Miss, the house looks like it's in disrepair, you see, the windows upstairs are all down. ”
Qiushui shuddered when she came here, feeling that it was eerie, saying that she had also been in the Chu Palace's mansion for a long time, and she really hadn't been here yet.
Rong Zhao was curious, the Chu Wangfu was rebuilt from the official residence of the former Dynasty Fu Wang, and the place next to it was expanded.
Driven by curiosity, Rong Zhao went in, and although Qiushui's scalp was numb, he still followed her.
Actually, after going in, there was nothing, except for a bookshelf, which was empty everywhere, nothing.
If you say a word, you can even hear the echo.
"Miss, there's nothing to see, let's go. Qiushui felt that this place was cold, probably abandoned all year round, and it didn't even have any popularity.
"Look at you scared like that, you can see it all at a glance, nothing, it's really useless. In fact, Rong Zhao was also frightened in his heart, nothing was scary.
However, she couldn't help frowning as she looked at the empty room with a wall of books abruptly placed.
Why is it a little weird?
She walked over and took down a book from the shelf, it was "Spring and Autumn", the book was covered with a layer of dust, Rong Zhao pinched the corner of the book cover with his fingernails, pulled the corners of his mouth, and threw it to the ground.
The dust from the book fell to the ground more than the dust on the ground.
She waved her hand in front of the tip of her nose, it was dirty, how could there be such a dirty place.
Rong Zhao swept the bookshelf, the books were neatly arranged, and suddenly her eyes stopped, and there was a hexagonal inkstone in an inconspicuous place in the lower left corner of the bookshelf.
Putting an inkstone on the bookshelf is a little awkward no matter how you look at it.
Rong Zhao squatted down and looked at it like this, his eyes lit up, it was the best inkstone.
Rong Zhao is not talented, but he was influenced by his father, and he has a little understanding of these pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Rong Hou Ye usually has a hobby of collecting these things, inkstone especially likes Duan inkstone, praise its quality is solid and delicate, moist and delicate, beautiful and colorful, ink does not damage the characteristics, for the first inkstone.
So Rong Zhao can also see it at a glance.
This inkstone looks like a good inkstone, but I didn't expect this broken house to have such a treasure.
It's not a tyrannical thing, so it's better for her to take it away and honor her father.
Rong Zhao was greedy for a while, and took it as soon as she started, but she found that the inkstone was stuck on the bookshelf, and she used all her strength to eat, but she still didn't separate.
"What's going on?" Rong Zhao didn't believe she would be able to handle an inkstone.
Is it too long to be glued?
She twisted it, and she could twist it from side to side. Rong Zhao twisted it to the right, but he didn't use any strength, so he moved.
But it was not only the inkstone that moved, but also the bookshelf. Qiushui dragged the stunned Rong Zhao away and blocked her in front of her, she thought that she had touched some mechanism, thinking that if an arrow came out, she would block it for the young lady.
No arrows were fired, and the bookshelves slowly parted in half, even the wall behind the bookshelves.
Rong Zhao pushed Qiushui away, and curiosity drove her to find out.
Qiushui grabbed her, "Miss, don't go in, it's dark inside, I don't know what's there." ”
"It's fine. Rong Zhao didn't listen to the persuasion and walked in with his hands on the wall.
Because of the wind pouring in, the faint candle flame slowly became warm.
It was a step to the ground, there were no handrails on either side, and Rong Zhao walked slowly with a stomach. Qiushui followed by the side, supporting her, carefully.
The further down you go, the stronger the smell of blood becomes, and you can't smell it from above. Qiushui was a little scared, and dragged Rong Zhao tightly, crying, "Miss, let's get out of here quickly, it's too terrifying." ”
"What are you afraid of? It's all down, I'll take a look at what Xiao Junjue is hiding here. Rong Zhao was stunned in his heart, but he pretended to be calm on the surface. In fact, she already regretted it, she should have listened to Qiushui's words just now, it's better now, retreating at this time, there is no face at all.
