Chapter 187: Don't dare to gamble
"Look at the jade pendant in your hand, think clearly before you speak." The old man looked at Shi Niang coldly.
Shi Niang looked at the jade pendant hanging on her wrist and thought, "I know that this jade represents the status of the head of the Tian family." It can also be regarded as mobilizing the military power of the Tian family's army. So, what does the integration of the four jades represent? ”
"You asked knowingly." Old Man Zhuang still looked at her calmly.
"Don't tell me, only recognize jade, not people." Shi Niang didn't think it was so funny.
"It should be said that jade is a token, and jade also chooses the owner, if virtue is not matched, the three can be recovered." Old Man An said slowly.
Shi Niang looked at the three old men, and thought that Old Man Zhuang was the most difficult, but thinking about it, it was not necessary to be afraid, Old Man Bai looked impulsive and irritable, but he didn't say a wrong word, and this Old Man An looked at the best temper and spoke softly, but she couldn't believe that he was a kind old man.
"Are you saying that if the three old men discuss it, they can also take back my jade?" Shi Niang smiled and leaned back on the chair steadily.
"I just said that jade also chooses the master." Old man Bai glared at Old Man An for a moment, and replied stiffly.
"It's not the Jade Chosen Lord, is it? It should be the forces behind the jade who choose the master. Shi Niang sneered, the jade pendant is just a dead thing, just like the jade seal, that is the representative of the imperial power, everyone wants to rob it, but is it the jade seal that is robbed? The thief stole the jade seal back, can he say that he is the emperor? At most, he sells a little money, and then he doesn't think about anything else at all. The old lady An An has been wearing the jade in her hand for 20 years, and no one dares to touch her, but not just because she is Tian Wei's surviving person, "So my mother can keep this piece of jade, not only my father's military exploits, but also her character, right?" ”
"Yes!"
"I'm not as good as her, but I can fight. I have made an immortal feat. I also avenged my father! Shi Niang smiled lightly, "So, I can keep this piece of jade, right?" ”
"Yes!" Old Man Zhuang nodded again, "Your mother's piece of jade was given to her by your father, and before she set out on the expedition, she hung it on her wrist." Your father is dead, and you have no heirs, if your mother remarries, this jade will be returned to the four families. However, since she has not remarried, and over the years, she has never been involved in four families for herself, which is enough to keep this jade. ”
"You haven't said it yet, she handed over the Tian family army to the three families. The four families are still four, not the three families, because the Tian family army is still there, and the Tian family's handsome flag is still there. Shi Niang still smiled, but her voice was a little sharp.
Before Tian Wei set out on the expedition, he gave the jade to his wife, and at that time, Tian Wei did not go with the determination to die, but felt that I was guarding the border, and the affairs of the family should be handled by my wife. He shared his rights with his wife. Thinking about it, Tian Wei and the eldest princess spoke very thoroughly at that time, otherwise, with the eldest princess like this, how could she manage the affairs of the army.
Waiting for the news of Tian Wei's death to come, the eldest princess wore the jade on her wrist. Tell everyone that the Tian family has not fallen, the Tian family is still there, and the Tian family army is still there. She didn't allow Shuai Qi to fall to the ground. She didn't divide Tian Jiajun into the other three families to deal with. She just let the three families stay in custody. The city is still Tian Jiajun's, and we only ask you to help me send a commander. This is actually tantamount to holding the three hostage to each other. No one can let Tian Jiajun fall into the hands of others.
And these three families want to get back the jade pendant all the time, but they don't have that ability. Now they fool themselves and want to get themselves out of it automatically. Thinking about it, he gently fiddled with his wrist, "After talking for a long time, in fact, I also think that you are really thinking too much, what can this piece of jade be for?" What works is people! ”
The three stared at her, and this time no one spoke. I was so angry that I couldn't speak. Now they miss the eldest princess a little, the eldest princess has that temperament, she will never fight them like this.
"Don't be angry, I've been talking for a long time, but I just want to say that the ancestors think well and think well." She still smiled and waved her hand, and the words were rounded.
In fact, what Shi Niang just said is true, it is not involved in government politics, and the family training of the four marshals who only train soldiers is really good. But she felt it was too dangerous. This time she was really not standing with the emperor's uncle, and calling her close didn't mean that she really thought they were one. But what the three old marshals do, or rather, what the three old marshals can do, does not mean that their children and grandchildren can do it. What's more, the four handsomes are not doing well.
"Actually, I don't know what is right or wrong. When the first emperor acted so perversely, my father was angry, but you didn't move. But when my uncle was about to come to power, you almost moved. Can you ask why? Shi Niang waved her hand, shook her head, and decided to ask something useful.
"We are afraid that your uncle will be the same as your grandfather." Old man An is very straightforward.
"I can listen to this, then the last question, why didn't you move when you were the first emperor?" Shi Niang stared into the eyes of the three of them. Since you let yourself know the heritage of the four families, let's be straightforward, don't say that it's useless, nothing is related to government politics. She wondered if the DPRK and China also had the right to counter them.
"We are not involved in the government, but we are still under the control of the imperial power. When there is no change of imperial power, we can choose the master. When the real imperial power is enthroned, we have to submit to the imperial power. Old man Bai nodded.
Shi Niang thought about it, "Who set this rule?" ”
"It was formulated by the four ancestors." Old man Zhuang said angrily. Think about it, by the way, "You also forgot that when you became a naturalized citizen, you also made a blood oath to take Tian as your surname and the honor of the Tian family as your life." In the blood oath, it also includes the part of the four families that are loyal to the imperial power. ”
Shi Niang was stunned, she really didn't think that way at the time? It's all for her to do, what does she do, how does she know, cutting her fingers, dripping blood is not for recognizing relatives, but for blood alliance, can she say that this is a deception, and it is not recognized by law?
"Little girl, every new head of the family wants to change the rules, but in the end they can't change it." Old man An laughed.
"No, I don't want to change it, really, but I'm afraid someone will. The blood oath is useful to us, maybe there are unscrupulous descendants who are not afraid of that day and the earth? Shi Niang hurriedly shook her head, "I am promising, my uncle is upright, An Jia and Uncle Bai, I have seen them at the border, they are really brave generals." To be honest, I'm quite afraid, first, I'm afraid that my children and grandchildren will not be good, what if I really break the rules? Also, one day, like the Tian family, the last drop of blood was exhausted, and the last four families slowly withered, what should I do? Three grandfathers, to be honest, I also want to leave Tian Jiajun standing behind me, at least in the future, no matter which cousin of mine is on top, I have the capital to protect myself. But I don't dare bet! Can't you really say that after I die, I will care about the flood of the sky? ”
Look at the cause and cause hermitage.
