fake prince

Chapter 1264 The thousand and eighteenth picture is unreliable
There was a wind blowing outside, and black clouds shrouded in a gloomy place, which could have made the people in the porch more cool, but for those who cared, it might have made them more depressed and depressed.

"Eunuch Ma, the emperor let you in." The eunuch who came out whispered to a person waiting outside.

This person was originally like a wooden sculpture of clay, but when he heard this, he trembled slightly and came back to life.

"How's it going inside now?" Ma Shunde lowered his voice and asked the eunuch who came to call him.

The eunuch was familiar with him, seeing his mournful expression at this time, he couldn't help sighing secretly, from being proud to being arrogant and domineering, to this time, it was only a few months.

The eunuch had actually experienced his majesty before, so he just glanced at him and said, "Eunuch, be careful when you answer!"

Saying this is like not saying it.

But this is actually a signal that the emperor is in a very bad mood at the moment, and he must be careful when he enters.

"Thank you."

Ma Shunde knew that the emperor must be in an extremely bad mood if the matter spread even if there was such a disturbance at the court meeting.

However, the Imperial City Division, the institution that supervises the common people and the officials, failed to get the information about the "rebellion" of the officials in advance. This is another big mistake!

Ma Shunde was really afraid of what he was about to face, fear flashed in his eyes, but he knew he had to face it, so he had to bite the bullet and walk in.

Pfft!
Only when he entered in fear, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed upwards.

The incident was so big, and it was still such a frightening incident, that Ma Shunde felt that he really couldn't live this time.

The old emperor just sat there, quietly watching Ma Shunde nibble a dozen of his heads, without saying a word.

It wasn't until Ma Shunde's forehead was broken and dripping with blood that he opened his mouth, but he didn't scold him, but said in a cold voice: "Okay, don't knock."

"Your Majesty..." Ma Shunde raised his head and looked at him pitifully, like a lost dog about to be kicked out by his master.

The old emperor looked at him and said lightly: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk too much. Ma Shunde, you should know what is the most important thing now."

"At the court meeting, those people clamored for an explanation, so I asked the Imperial City Secretary to investigate the rumor. Although you made mistakes again and again, I will give you another chance. I will leave this matter to you."

Hearing this, Ma Shunde's eyes widened.

"No matter what method you use, I only want one result, and that is to quell the rumors immediately..."

Speaking of this, the old emperor paused, and his cold eyes fell directly on Ma Shunde: "Don't let me down again."

"Yes!" These six words were spoken calmly, but their power was astonishing, and they were suddenly thunderous, making Ma Shunde tremble all over, and he didn't even dare to lift his head to respond.

"Go!" After giving this order, the old emperor had nothing else to say, and waved Ma Shunde back.

It stands to reason that this time the Imperial City Secretary failed to detect the rumors in time and let the rumors spread quickly, which was a huge mistake, but the emperor didn't even scold him, Ma Shunde's heart should be relieved.

But recalling the indifferent glance by the emperor, he was trembling all over at this moment, and he was more afraid than being scolded by the emperor or even throwing things at him in the past. out.

"Even if this person finishes his errand, he is dead." Zhao Bingzhong bowed his body slightly as before, without saying a word, but he could see clearly.

Ma Shunde may know it himself, but he can't accept this fact, and he still has fantasies.

"Or, this person is also available?" Zhao Bingzhong is well aware of court affairs, there is no impenetrable wall, and he takes refuge in the queen. For those who are not so concerned, he may be able to hide it for a long time. For someone as sensitive as himself, every move For those who have special records, it is difficult to hide it for too long.

The emperor must not tolerate anyone who disagrees.

This has to go all the way to the dark.

Zhao Bingzhong glanced at the emperor and Ma Shunde: "Go down and tell the queen."

He is too clear about the laws governing the operation of the court. No matter how much authority he has, the one who is in charge is not himself, and he cannot make his own decisions.

"What did you find out?" No matter how wise the old emperor was, he couldn't know what the people around him were thinking, so he just watched Ma Shunde go out, looked away, and looked at Hu Huai'an who was standing aside, and asked calmly.

Hu Huai'an quietly glanced at the emperor's face, knowing that it is not appropriate to speak long now, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and replied very succinctly: "Your Majesty, I found out that the person spreading rumors seems to be related to the remnants of the previous dynasty..."

After a pause, he added: "These people do have a lot to do with the Shu Palace."

"Where's King Qi?" The old emperor didn't seem surprised by the result, he was taken aback, and asked again as if casually.

But only Zhao Tianzhong, who was standing closest to the emperor, could see that the old emperor's hands trembled slightly after hearing Hu Huai'an's words.

Hu Huai'an didn't know about it, and continued to report: "Following the steward to investigate carefully, I found that he seems to be an informant of King Qi..."

Speaking of this, Hu Huai'an hesitated a little.

The old emperor naturally saw his hesitation, and sneered: "Say it, are you going to deceive me at this time?"

"Yes...we continued to investigate, and unexpectedly discovered that King Qi...he seems... to be involved...with the Yaozu..."

Hu Huai'an answered this sentence with great difficulty, as if he forced it out, and when he said it, he lowered his head very low.

Facts have proved that Hu Huai'an's worries were not superfluous. As soon as his words came out, the emperor's body shook violently, and his face turned pale.

"Really?" the old emperor murmured, feeling cold and even hopeless.

Civil and military officials are centrifugal...

The king of Shu colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty, and the king of Qi colluded with the demon clan...

One after another of the news, each one is a thunder, making people's heads buzz.

Zhao Tianzhong quietly looked at the emperor, and saw the emperor wandering around in the hall in a daze, as if he couldn't find a home.

"Monarchs and ministers, father and son, have all betrayed their relatives and left."

All these news hit the emperor hard, no wonder the emperor seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden.

Zhao Tianzhong actually knew that among the existing sons, the emperor liked King Qi the most.

King Qi colluded with the Yaozu, which was like dancing in the emperor's minefield, and gave the old emperor a big slap in the face.

The monster clan will always be the heart of the emperor of this dynasty, a serious problem in his heart.

The old emperor wandered around with his hands behind his back, every step he took was heavy, no matter if he was kneeling or standing, all lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.

After lingering for a long time, the emperor murmured: "It's not reliable, it's not reliable."

For a moment, the emperor suddenly thought of the queen.

In the past, when I had difficulties and frustrations, I always liked to lie on the queen's lap. The queen listened with a slight frown, and there were two dimples looming. When she smiled, she was very charming and gentle. , these are temporary floating clouds, they will never cover your eyebrows."

"Your Majesty is the lord of the world, no matter how difficult it is, as long as you make up your mind, how can it stop you?"

As long as he leaned on her lap and listened to her words, he felt at ease, as if he had returned home.

It's just that it seems that I can't go back.

The emperor suddenly woke up in a trance, his eyes swept across the hall dully, he only saw the eunuch's slightly bowed body, although the hot summer had arrived, there seemed to be no people around!
