The emperor did not speak when he was about to move, but slowly walked to the door, pursed his lips and looked at the sky.
At this time, the rain in the rain and snow had completely turned into snow. The snow flakes slowly fell with the wind, and the ground gradually became more white.
"The vast expanse of white is so clean." The emperor felt confused and confused at first, but suddenly his heart became calm, he made a decision, and he turned around.
"deliver an imperial order!"
"Yes!" Everyone present, whether it was Ma Shunde or Zhao Bingzhong, as well as the nearby eunuchs and maids, all knelt down to listen to the holy metaphor.
"The prince is deeply in love with me. I thought he would be able to inherit the throne, but I didn't expect that the unforgettable year would not only make me sad, but also make the country empty. Fortunately, I have a grandson who is a saint and has a noble character. He can use it.
For the emperor’s grandson—it is passed down to the Hanlin Academy to draft an edict in advance!”
The emperor spoke very slowly, word for word, hitting the people present with a heavy hammer.
"What?" As soon as this decree came out, not only Ma Shunde was struck like thunder, but even Eunuch Zhao was stunned.
How is this possible!
Ma Shunde knelt upright and opened his mouth.
Why, not only was Your Majesty not angry, but he did not immediately deal with the king as he did with the prince, but instead made the king his grandson?
This is simply illogical and inconsistent with my understanding of His Majesty!
Could it be that His Majesty has already regretted the death of the Crown Prince, and that is why he canonized the grandson today?
Ma Shunde was so shocked that he didn't even have time to hide the change in his expression. This appearance caught the emperor's gaze, causing the emperor's cold eyes to turn into a cold one.
The emperor sneered and his tone became colder: "Why, do you have any objections?"
When Eunuch Zhao saw this scene, he shook his head secretly and was speechless at Ma Shunde's stupidity.
There is a saying that accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.
You can figure out the emperor's thoughts, but you can't rely on your ability to figure out the emperor's thoughts to judge the emperor's heart, let alone try to influence him.
Even if the people who serve the emperor are superior to others, if they are not careful, their heads will disappear from their necks. It can be said that this status also comes with greater risks. If they are not careful, not even the bones and dregs will be left.
And die with the people related to it!
After all, Ma Shunde had been following the emperor for so many years. He was quite cautious in the past, but since the last time he pushed himself down and stood out, his momentum has become stronger day by day. He is like a great eunuch, and he has truly become the leader of one person.
Above ten thousand people!
I heard that even Liu Zhan, a real person, was given eye drops by Ma Shunde and could hardly leave the hall.
But the problem is that there is not much conflict of interest between Liu Zhan and Ma Shunde. It is just that Liu Zhan's temper is not very good, and Ma Shunde is petty-minded and very vindictive. Anyone who cannot be obedient to him will
Ma Shunde would have made a note of this in his mind and thought about revenge at any time, even if he was not a person whose status was much higher than him.
Although eunuchs are petty-minded and greedy for money, this is something that many people admit. Even Eunuch Zhao himself has such a problem, and it is estimated that he will not be able to change it until his death.
But being small-minded depends on where you are. As a eunuch, the higher your status, the more you must be able to distinguish priorities and not delay the master's affairs for your own selfish reasons.
And when you are greedy for money, you also need to distinguish priorities. You cannot take all money. Some money can be taken, but some money is hot to hold!
Ma Shunde originally had no big grudges against Dai Wang, but later he became enemies. It can only be said that Ma Shunde brought it on himself!
Now that I heard that His Majesty is going to hand over the position of grandson to the acting king, are you scared?
Eunuch Zhao was still standing in the corner, motionless and silent, like a stone statue.
However, under the emperor's question, Ma Shunde suddenly broke into a cold sweat!
"No, how dare I do this! How dare I do this!"
"This is a major event for the country. I am a timid slave. I was shocked when I heard it, but I never dared to have any opinions. How dare I, how dare you?"
Ma Shunde kowtowed repeatedly, every time he kowtowed. After several kowtows, the skin on his forehead was already broken and bleeding, but the emperor did not dare to stop without speaking!
How can he still feel proud now? He just wants to go back to the past and beat himself to death for offending King Dai!
How could you be so careless? If you had known earlier...
No, even if I went back to just now and didn't immediately show signs of surprise and resistance, I still wouldn't be in this situation now. How could I be so careless!
Ma Shunde hates it, but the emotion that is stronger than hate is fear!
He knew very well how ruthless the monarch he was serving was. He treated the old man with some respect, but once his Majesty's bottom line was touched, even his own son and grandson could be killed, let alone a slave like him.
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"
The smell of blood filled the air with the constant sounds of kowtows. With only a dozen heads, Ma Shunde's forehead was already stained with blood.
The emperor kept looking down, as if looking at a dead thing. After Ma Shunde kowtowed about a dozen times, he said coldly: "Why don't you go quickly?"
Ma Shunde was so stunned that stars were popping up in front of his eyes. He immediately reacted when he heard this!
Your Majesty, this is forgiveness!
This is to let yourself go to Hanlin to draft an edict, this is to give yourself a chance!
"Yes! Yes! My slave, go now!" As he said that, Ma Shunde stood up in embarrassment, and taking care not to be rude, backed up to the entrance of the palace, then turned around and trotted out.
Looking at Ma Shunde's back, the emperor narrowed his eyes and said nothing, but Eunuch Zhao, who was standing in the shadow, subconsciously shuddered.
He did not dare to look at the emperor standing there, but the chill in his heart could not be dispelled.
According to his understanding of the emperor, what Ma Shunde committed just now was a capital crime. Even if it seemed that he had served him for many years, he would be severely punished.
But he only kowtowed a dozen times and then let it go lightly, which was inconsistent with understanding.
Ma Shunde's affection is precious, no, it can't be to this extent.
That is the emperor, and Ma Shunde will be used.
The emperor's heart is as deep as an abyss.
Eunuch Zhao shuddered again and did not dare to continue thinking about it.
Ma Shunde was in a very embarrassed state when he went out. Although he wiped the blood from his forehead with his hands, the bruises on his forehead were bruised and broken, and he still looked a bit ferocious.
It was snowing outside. As soon as Ma Shunde went out, he walked outside the palace. When he turned the corner, he was greeted by eunuchs.
The little eunuch was originally happy, but because the area next to the main hall door was much brighter, and he could see Ma Shunde's expression clearly, and even caught a glimpse of the wound on Ma Shunde's forehead, he quickly suppressed his happiness.
Ma Shunde gently pressed the wound on his forehead with a white handkerchief and wiped it again. Then he looked impatiently and asked, "What's the matter? If you fart, just let it go!"
The young eunuch hurriedly replied: "Master Governor, Cao Yiyan has already found out some clues. This person really doesn't know who he is until he is checked. Once he is checked, he will shock people!"
"There are many strongholds in this capital alone, and they are very hidden. They were all prepared many years ago."
"Moreover, our people also discovered that there are some weapons hidden in those strongholds. There are not only swords, but also crossbows and armors. We speculate that these strongholds are not only Cao Yiyan's people, but also Ying Guo's foothold in Beijing.
"
"You mean, Cao Yiyan's stronghold may also be Yingguo's stronghold?" Although it is a suspicion, but to be so suspected, it is probably close to the same, right?
Ma Shunde's original impatient look disappeared, and his face became serious.
"Yes! It has been found out and is suspected to be a stronghold of Yingguo."
