"Eunuch Ma, the emperor did not say to give me the Imperial City Division. You are still in charge. You just have to make the decision on this matter." Eunuch Zhao bowed slightly and said.
As soon as he said this, even though he was vigilant, Ma Shunde still showed a bit of pride. In fact, it was not that he did not understand that Eunuch Zhao might have other intentions. It was just a matter of power. If you really give in, you will lose every step of the way.
How many people have been poisoned by listening to words such as "quiet" and "inaction", and they have not achieved good results.
Ma Shunde stared at it, laughed, stood up, picked up the folder, and said to Eunuch Zhao: "Let's go, the two of us will go to see the emperor right now!"
Eunuch Zhao looked at the person walking in front, twitched the corner of his mouth, and shook his head secretly.
I have met Cao Yiyan himself. His literary talent and fame are just a matter of recruiting people, which is insignificant. However, this person has extremely high martial arts skills. He also has some party members who have intelligence and have a deep relationship with Ying Guo. Doing this kind of thing well is a great achievement, but this great achievement
Even if the meat is just grilled, it still depends on whether the mouth of the person eating it will be burned!
Eunuch Zhao didn't think that Ma Shunde had the ability to get away unscathed by getting involved in this matter.
But what does this have to do with him?
He didn't push this person to get involved in this matter, nor was he involved in it.
It's about the remnants of the previous dynasty, the country, and the fight for the right to be the heir. If a eunuch jumps into this vortex, he'll be lucky if he doesn't break into pieces.
The two of them walked directly to the emperor's residence. They were both eunuchs, and there was no need to report before entering the palace.
The heavy curtains cover the desks and bookshelves, and the gold bricks on the floor are illuminated by the light. There are young eunuchs standing in the corridors and corridors. They all hold whisks in their hands and remain motionless. Occasionally, they make inspections. They wear flat soft shoes and walk lightly so as not to disturb the emperor.
"Eunuch!" The little eunuch gestured briefly, and sure enough, he saw the person standing in the hall, dressed in Taoist robes and tall and tall, it was Liu Zhan!
Although Liu Zhan is old, he does have a somewhat airy appearance. Eunuch Zhao and Liu Zhan have a normal relationship, neither good nor bad. He just glanced at Liu Zhan and stood aside with his hands lowered, waiting.
After His Majesty finished questioning Liu Zhan, he and Ma Shunde reported to the emperor.
Ma Shunde took a look at Liu Zhan and didn't like the veteran.
This person is sometimes too arrogant. In Ma Shunde's heart, he just doesn't look down on himself!
A wise old man who looks down on himself, if he finds an opportunity, he must make this person look good!
But right now there is still no chance.
This made Ma Shunde a little depressed, and he could only lower his head and say nothing.
At this time, the emperor was at the top and had already seen the two people coming in. However, he was currently talking to Liu Zhan and only glanced at the two eunuchs before looking away.
"...You are a moral person. You will preside over this ritual ceremony." The conversation between the emperor and Liu Zhan happened to come to an end: "We must cooperate with the king to bring the matter of the shrine to a perfect conclusion."
The shrine concerns hundreds of thousands of believers in the capital. Even the emperor was unwilling to delay. Seeing that the New Year was approaching, he gave the order.
Liu Zhan immediately kowtowed: "Yes, I will live up to my command."
After a pause and finding nothing to say, he withdrew.
The emperor then looked at the two of them and asked, "What's wrong with you two?"
Eunuch Zhao only kowtowed and replied: "I have finished my errand, and I came here to deliver my order!"
As soon as these words came out, Ma Shunde couldn't help but look towards him.
what happened?
The two of them came back together. Although Ma Shunde knew that the old man would not compete with him for credit, the old man suddenly stayed out of the matter and did not get involved at all. This also made Ma Shunde feel a little bit bad.
However, now that the matter has come to this, we cannot question Eunuch Zhao in front of the emperor.
When the emperor heard this, he waved his hand and told Eunuch Zhao to step back.
In the past, if Eunuch Zhao went out to finish his errands, he would come back and kowtow like this to report. The emperor was used to it.
Ma Shunde hesitated a little, whether to go out with Eunuch Zhao or stay. This was a question worth considering.
But if you go out with Eunuch Zhao, you can avoid risks, but you will also miss the opportunity!
Besides, the old guy named Zhao is not in charge of the Imperial City Division now. In the past, the Imperial City Division’s surname was Zhao, but now the Imperial City Division’s surname is Ma!
With Ma Shunde here, the Imperial City Division will have to make some achievements to show the emperor that he is not inferior to Zhao!
Thinking of this, Ma Shunde did not go out. The emperor looked at Ma Shunde and said: "Is something wrong?"
"Your Majesty, I have something to report..."
Eunuch Zhao, who had already walked out of the palace, looked up at the sky, then looked back at the palace gate, and walked down with a long stride.
One step forward is the way to survive.
If you stay on the road behind, even if you can achieve this feat, if you don't pay attention, your body will be shattered.
After the previous difficulty, he is no longer the chief eunuch he used to be.
Thinking of what the Queen had said before, Eunuch Zhao lowered his eyebrows and suppressed his emotions.
In less than a stick of incense, when Ma Shunde came out of the palace, he already had a military talisman in his hand. Ma Shunde was a little excited that he got the military talisman so easily.
"Old man, if you suffer a loss, you should be cautious. But do you know that being cautious is useless?"
"If nothing happens, I can still keep you out of love. If something happens, if you give in everywhere, you will only make the emperor angry."
"Old man, I don't have your affection nor your ability, but as long as I dare to do my job, when the emperor is employing people now, he will use me more, not you!"
"Except for the Emperor, among the millions of officials and people in the world, who is qualified to use Qingjing?"
Ma Shunde's face was expressionless, but his eyes were full of passion. Eunuchs were all rootless people and had no heirs. Even if they adopted a few adopted sons, it would be the same thing.
He prefers power!
If he has greater dignity in the future, he may even want to imitate others and marry several beautiful wives and concubines, not for anything else but for the sake of face!
In the past, I had to be careful in my behavior for fear of being caught, but now that I am by the Emperor's side, I must dare to do things.
The old guy surnamed Zhao can no longer be a roadblock to his progress!
"Come here!" Returning to the Imperial City Division's office, Da Ma Jin Dao sat down on a chair and shouted directly.
"My son is here!" Several godsons and confidants came in hurriedly.
Ma Shunde was playing with the military talisman in his hand. The military talisman immediately made these people's eyes light up, and their eyes were filled with passion.
The power of the Imperial City Division is not small, but to truly mobilize troops and horses, one must have military talismans. With these military talismans, one is the real chief officer of the Imperial City Division.
"Congratulations to your godfather, congratulations to your godfather."
"Old Zhao, you have a lot of qualifications and a lot of affection. How many times have you touched the military talisman? Now my godfather has only been in charge for half a year, and the emperor has given me the military talisman, which shows that he has great trust."
Several people were talking one after another. Ma Shunde squinted his eyes and listened. After a while, he coughed and everyone stopped talking. Ma Shunde was very satisfied and said, "Okay, I have something for you to do."
"Godfather, it's your order!" All the godsons bowed.
Ma Shunde said: "This military talisman was given by the emperor. You have also seen it. It is both a right and a sword hanging above your head! If we can't handle this errand, our family will be ruined, and you will be ruined too! So!
, we must do this job well this time!"
"Take your people and cast a wide net. Remember, keep an eye on Cao Yiyan and his people, but don't alert them. Remember, don't alert the enemy!"
"These people are extremely cunning. If there is any trouble, they might run away. If that happens, our family's affairs will be ruined. Our family will not spare you!"
