The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Lu Zhaoling and Yin Yunting both wanted to give this magic weapon to their second junior sister.

"We are better at using talismans than you, and we are also stronger and faster than you. You have to protect yourself. The Wang Lei Ling is just right for you."

"Yes, Second Junior Sister, take it. You stay in the capital, and we are not around, so you still need a magic weapon."

They both held the same opinion, and Rong Jingjing naturally couldn't argue with them, so she had to accept it in the end.

Everything is ready, and after tonight they will set off.

That night, the emperor dreamed of the emperor again.

The emperor didn't say anything, but just called him out in complaint from time to time.

"My dear, my dear."

The emperor had a difficult dream.

Just when he was about to relax and sleep well, putting the dream behind him, there was another sound -

"My prince..."

It's like calling a soul.

"Father, I am the emperor now."

The emperor didn't know why, but in his dream his father didn't call him the emperor, but called him son prince.

He was called this before he was fifteen years old.

After he grew up, his father never called him "prince".

"My dear, your brother is going to the southwest. It's very dangerous there. The troops stationed there may not obey him completely. It would be better if he had a token from you, right?"

Want his token?

"Ayue used to go out just to travel and have fun. He is a lazy person. This is the first time he has taken on such an important task. As the emperor, the jade you wear all the time has the power of the true dragon emperor. How great would it be if you could give him one? He can then regard you as accompanying him."

"And you can also pretend that he has taken you on a tour of the country. When he returns the jade to you, he can tell you in detail where he has been with the jade, what kind of scenery he has seen, and what kind of people he has met."

"I'll tell you, tell the local officials of each prefecture that this is the emperor's jade ornament. Let them see with their own eyes the thing you have worn for so many years. It will be like seeing you."

"How long have those local officials not seen you? Don't you think that letting your belongings come into contact with them once is also a way to comfort them? Since they can't go back to the capital or attend court, what's wrong with seeing your jade pendant?"

The emperor emeritus started to persuade the emperor.

At first, the emperor said that he dreamed of his father, but he just called him "My son" from time to time. It was hard to explain and accept.

But now his father was talking so much at once, and he couldn't get a word in.

"My dear, what do you think?"

The emperor rubbed his forehead even in his dream.

He really couldn't sleep well like this.

It's just a piece of jade ornament that I carry with me.

"Just borrow it? Or do you want me to give it to him?"

"Borrow it, borrow it."

The retired emperor thought, let's just borrow it first. If Master Ling has something else to replace it in the future, maybe I can return it to him.

The emperor agreed in his dream.

"I'll go see Ayue off tomorrow, and you can give it to him then."

The Emperor: Done.

At the next morning court, news about the southwest once again came to the emperor.

This time, it was discovered by the former spies that the neighboring country had sent spies to infiltrate the border town of Xicheng, intending to find out the attitude of the Great Zhou towards the barbarians.

If they had not been discovered, there was no movement in the border town for the time being, the emperor had not yet conveyed his order, and the southwestern garrison was still continuing its training, they might have sent another team, pretending to be barbarians and bandits, and seized a border town first.

It is so obvious that the neighboring country has already developed its intentions towards Da Zhou.

The emperor's face darkened after hearing the secret letter.

When the retired emperor was in power, when envoys from the two countries traveled back and forth, everyone was very friendly and enthusiastic.

The Great Zhou has always been generous and honest, and its neighboring countries have always been courteous and get along well with each other.

But the neighboring country had a new ruler last year, and this young emperor was obviously more ambitious than his father. The other was formerly the crown prince, but the crown prince died suddenly of an acute illness half a month before he was to ascend the throne, and this prince took the position.

Many people in the world suspect that there is something wrong with the prince's illness. Who knows if he was killed by his brother?

Therefore, it is normal for the new emperor to have ideas about the Great Zhou.

Several cities in the southwest of the Great Zhou were also important locations fought over by the two countries in the previous dynasty.

So this time, the emperor also took it very seriously.

If the general of the southwest garrison was someone he trusted very much, he would not have let Zhou Shiyue go.

But he didn't trust the generals of the southwest garrison, so he wanted Zhou Shiyue to take a look. In the emperor's heart, Zhou Shiyue was very favored by his father before, and he was very worried that his father would let Zhou Shiyue replace him, but now he has become the emperor.

Also, Ayue's performance in recent times made him feel that Ayue had no interest in the throne at all, and only loved money and playing.

He was idle all day, hanging out with Lu Zhaoling, just like when they were kids. He didn't even have a good friend who was an official in the court.

The retired emperor could even send messages in his dreams, but he didn't say anything good about Zhou Shiyue. I guess my father never wanted to give the throne to Zhou Shiyue.

After the court session, the thirty-two guards appointed by the emperor got ready to set off.

Zhou Shiyue also rode over first.

The emperor came out of the palace to see him off and saw Zhou Shiyue just dismounting from his horse.

He spun quickly on one leg and jumped to the ground, his movements graceful and neat. After he stood firm, he looked over here, and when he saw him, he immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled, and waved.

"Royal brother, you came out to see me off? I know you love me!"

The emperor really wanted to turn around and hide.

so many people!

The ministers are all here!

Zhou Shiyue is twenty years old, but he still says such disgusting words, which makes him shudder.

After all, even his own son wouldn't say such things.

Zhou Shiyue walked over and saw that the emperor had changed his collarbone jade pendant, and he knew that the matter was settled.

"Royal brother, don't worry. I won't do anything rash when it comes to serious matters." Zhou Shiyue made another promise to the emperor.

Still want to mess around? You can't mess around in the first place.

He took a deep breath, then stretched out his hands, which had been behind his back, and handed a jade pendant with a dragon pattern to Zhou Shiyue.

I feel a little reluctant.

"Ayue, I cannot go to the southwest in person, so let this jade pendant represent me and accompany you through the mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou to the border town to protect the peace of our Great Zhou."

As soon as he stretched out his hand, whoosh, the jade pendant was in Zhou Shiyue's hand.

As fast as the invisible hand.

The emperor was so anxious that he could not help but add in a loud voice, "I borrowed it. It is not a reward nor a gift to you. I will lend it to you for your use. Please return it to me when you come back from the southwest!"

"I haven't even set off yet, but my brother is already talking about coming back."

Zhou Shiyue took the jade pendant and quickly went through the farewell ceremony. He quickly went to pick up Lu Zhaoling and handed the dragon-patterned jade pendant to her.

When he went to the palace, Lu Zhaoling had already gone to the ancestral temple to pick up the emperor.
