Xiao Rongshen didn't say anything, just sighed softly. He was not a cowardly man, and he was not afraid of life and death. If Xiao Rongzhan really entered the capital one day, he would even dare to kill himself. But he really didn't expect that his thirty years of hard work would be so easily defeated by Xiao Rongzhan, or even a complete failure.

In fact, Gao Bingyan didn't understand his mind, but he was still obsessed. He knew that he was at the end of the road now, but he refused to admit that he had to fight the trapped beast. In fact, Gao Bingyan's idea is not inappropriate, and it makes Xiao Rongshen feel a tragic emotion in his heart. This feeling is like when the imperial grandfather was dying, holding his hand tightly, and muttering the word "rebel" in his mouth.

Unless God has eyes now, let him immediately get a usable amount of money, so that he can recruit troops and expand his strength. Or, find the tiger talisman that the emperor hid to control the world's soldiers and horses.

In fact, Xiao Rongshen already knew in his heart who the tiger talisman was, but he didn't have the ability to openly ask them for it.

The royal family surnamed Chu is now so arrogant, and they must have the confidence to dare to be so presumptuous. The juniors of this clan dare to be arrogant in the capital, saying some big rebellious and outspoken words, and doing some crimes against the sky, which must be relying on the power of the elders in their clan.

The surname Chu is the second largest surname of Da Chu, and there is no one to trust in the surname Xiao, and it is very likely that the emperor entrusted the tiger charm to the people surnamed Chu. But then again, the death of the former emperor was sudden, and even Xiao Rongshen himself didn't expect that he would suddenly kill the old emperor. The old emperor himself couldn't even think of it. He didn't know that he would die, so how could he entrust the tiger talisman to the Chu family in advance?

The surname Chu has been in the court for so many years, and he has always been free and rich. If they didn't have a talisman in their hands, why did they suddenly appear above the court, and why did they suddenly openly rebel against their own decrees. Why did the noble relatives surnamed Chu openly rely on the old and sell the old and accuse themselves of being immoral?

"Your Majesty, among the old ministers, it's time to use the queen as a pawn. The queen refused to write to Xiao Rongzhan, we can find someone to write on our behalf, it is not difficult to imitate a person's handwriting, and there are many scholars in the capital who write letters on behalf of them, all of whom have this ability. Xiao Rongzhan is a filial son, if he saw his mother's letter begging him to withdraw from the army, he would not dare to rush into the army. Moreover, this can be done quietly, and people with the surname Chu may not be able to know. ”

"It's fine. ”

If you can delay for a day, Xiao Rongshen nodded.

"Your Majesty is relieved, this matter will be handed over to the minister, and the minister promises to do it properly at this time. Gao Bingyan arched his hand and exited Xiao Rongshen's study.

The moment Gao Bingyan left, the dazzling sunlight shimmered into the hall, and Xiao Rongshen raised his sleeves to cover his face. The door of the study was tightly closed, Xiao Rongshen suddenly felt a little cold, is this what it is like to be an emperor? Not only is it unhappy, but it is a kind of torture, Xiao Rongshen turned his back and paced in the empty study, this is not what he wants.

Time flies so fast, it is already early spring in an instant, if it is in previous years, he will definitely take Yuan Jia to go boating on the rivers and lakes and visit the mountains on both sides of the strait. Spring is coming as scheduled, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the good mood of previous years.

Last night he had a dream, in which the emperor pushed open his coffin, sat up straight, and slowly walked in front of him. The first emperor had no eyes, but he stared at him, Xiao Rongshen only felt that his hairs were all on the ground, and a cool breeze was swishing behind him.

Suddenly, the first emperor disappeared inexplicably, and a voice echoed faintly in his ears: "If the name is not right, it is not good, your throne was stolen." ”

Stealing? Xiao Rongshen shuddered, yes, it was indeed stolen.

No wonder it is said that ill-gotten gain is not to be desired. Since meditating on the throne, which represents the supreme honor of the whole world, I have not had a day of peace. It had been a long time since he had a dreamless night, and he even said that he hadn't had a good dream in a long time.

Could it be that he was wrong? Was he wrong from the beginning? He knew that this throne was to be handed over to Xiao Rongzhan by the previous emperor, but he insisted on fighting for it. He knew that none of this belonged to him, but he forcibly took it all into his pocket. He deceived the emperor, deceived hundreds of officials, and deceived the people of the world, isn't this stealing?

"No!" Xiao Rongshen shouted, and sat down on the jade steps in front of the dragon book case.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" asked a supervisor softly as he pushed open the door to his study.

"Get out of here!" Xiao Rongshen scolded.

The inner supervisor shuddered and shrank out. The door to the study was closed again, and the large lattice door blocked out the dazzling midday daylight. The hall was a little gloomy, and Xiao Rongshen was sitting in front of the jade steps, sitting in a cloud of shadows.

"I'm right, I'm not wrong!" Xiao Rongshen repeated to himself repeatedly: "The throne of the first emperor was also taken away, why can't I take it?"

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Rongshen turned his head and saw Yuan Jia standing alone at the door of the study. Xiao Rong hooked his hands and asked Yuan Jia to sit beside him.

Xiao Rongshen lowered his head and saw that the clothes Yuan Jia was wearing were just ordinary silk, and suddenly felt a little strange. Yuan Jia is the one who values these things outside the body the most, and he will never accommodate them.

Xiao Rongshen smiled: "Aren't you the most beautiful, how do you wear this?"

Yuan Jia was silent, just shook his head. Xiao Rongshen felt a pain in his heart, he had heard people say in the past that dressing too extravagantly and wastefully would damage Yin Virtue. She is like this now, doesn't she also want to accumulate people's hearts for herself?

Xiao Rong looked at her with deep concern: "What's wrong with you?"

Yuan Jia lowered his head: "Your Majesty, can the concubine sit on your shoulder for a while?"

Xiao Rongshen was a little surprised at first, but soon smiled and nodded, and reached out to take Yuan Jia into his arms.

"Jia'er, I'm sorry. ”

Yuan Jia was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and felt a little strange: "Why did Your Majesty say this?"

Xiao Rongshen smiled indifferently: "It's that I am usually too strict with you, I thought that the barrier between you and me had been eliminated, but I didn't expect that you would still be so careful by my side." Yuan Jia, I am not only the emperor of Great Chu, but also your husband, although our beginning is just the interweaving of two desires, but you have to believe that after so many years of getting along day and night, I have long been the only one in my eyes. Although I have not yet been crowned queen, you must believe that you are my only choice. ”

Yuan Jia stared at Xiao Rongshen, her eyes were full of tears, she had waited for so many years, looked forward to it for so many years, calculated, used, retreated, pleaded, she tried her best to hope that there could be someone in this world, like the prince Aiwei Yuanxi, who loved herself deeply. The emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, although he experienced a heart-wrenching ordeal, he still made her wait after all.

Xiao Rongshen caressed her jaw and kissed Yuan Jia's lips, and two lines of warm tears flashed across her cheeks.

"Why are you crying?" Xiao Rongshen frowned: "Did I say something wrong?"

Yuan Jia shook his head: "The concubine body is moved, the concubine body thought that she would never hear His Majesty say that she loved me in this life, the concubine body thought that in the heart of His Royal Highness, the concubine body would always be just a concubine, and the concubine body thought that it was ......"

"Do you think I'm just with you to take advantage of you?" Xiao Rongshen touched Yuan Jia's hair: "Fool, you and I are a close husband and wife." ”

"Husband and wife?" Yuan Jia's eyes widened.

"Yes, you are the only wife in my Xiao Rongshen's life. Xiao Rongshen put his arm on Yuanjia's neck: "I only hate that time is too short now, and I can't accompany you to the end of my life." Yuan Jia, if the years can be looked back, I would rather not have this high throne, but also accompany you to the morning and twilight. ”

"Your Majesty......"

Xiao Rong sighed deeply and hugged Yuan Jia tighter.

Yuan Jia lay in Xiao Rongshen's arms, and suddenly felt that he was very useless. Wei Yuanxi can help Xiao Rongzhan overcome obstacles, but she can only accompany her husband to sink into sadness. Wei Yuanxi can turn things around in an instant, but he can only watch and miss the opportunity. Wei Yuanxi can wake up the dreamer with a word when her husband is sinking. Yuan Jia looked at Xiao Rongshen in front of him, and couldn't say a word except for the pity in his heart.

In fact, Wei Yuanxi is really skillful, but she has been forcing herself to look at Wei Yuanxi with an extreme eye over the years. As a result, she ignored her sister's ability, her sister's courage, and her own weakness.

If only he could have the same ability as Wei Yuanxi, he wouldn't be like now, and he couldn't even find the right words to comfort people.

"Is Your Majesty worried about the silver?" asked Yuanjia tentatively.

Xiao Rongshen glanced at her, and barely squeezed out a smile that seemed to be relaxed, but was actually extremely tired: "Who told you this? No, you don't have to worry about this, this is a man's business, you don't have to ...... a woman"

"Your Majesty, let the concubine go back to the Wei Mansion. ”

"What are you doing?" Xiao Rongshen was a little puzzled.

"The concubine went to persuade her father to support His Majesty. Yuan Jia looked at Rong Shen seriously.

Xiao Rongshen smiled lightly: "Didn't you already cut off contact with the Wei Mansion?" Xiao Rongshen's expression became more and more solemn, and his palm stroked Yuan Jia's cheek: "Yuan Jia, you don't have to force yourself to do things you don't like for the sake of me. Besides, your father will not support me in any way. I don't want you to pull down your identity and ask him. ”

"But Your Majesty now needs a lot of money to recruit troops and expand armaments, if it is not for the support of my father, I am afraid that with the savings in the former palace, it will be difficult to continue, right?"

It is indeed difficult to maintain, and Xiao Rongshen has obviously felt powerless when he turned over the silver.

But Xiao Rongshen still smiled gently: "It's okay, I still have an industry in Yuexi Prefecture, and I have already asked them to prepare for the silver tael, I believe that in a few days, the silver will be in place." When the time comes, we will be able to recruit troops, and we will no longer have to be afraid of them. ”

"Is it really okay?" asked Yuanjia.

"Don't worry, I know it. Xiao Rongshen said, his gaze lightly avoiding Yuan Jia's gaze.
