Although the king is the grandson of the emperor, there is often a saying among the people that the younger son and older grandson are the lifeblood of the old man, but it is a family of common people!
And it was because his grandson was raised by his grandparents that he loved him even more.
But the royal family is different. Not to mention that the royal family has weak family ties. Even if they really have feelings for their grandchildren, they should have given it to those grandchildren who are young and have watched them grow up since childhood. How much favor can the returned emperor's grandson get?
Think about it, it’s impossible!
Not to mention, the royal grandson’s biological father and prince, who was once so favored, didn’t he have his whole family wiped out and himself die a tragic death?
In the final analysis, the most noble person in the world in front of him loved himself most, and what he loved most was the power in his hands.
Everything else is just a little embellishment of great power, you can have it or you can have it without!
After Ma Shunde thought about this, he felt more and more that his report this time was foolproof and he would be able to completely bring down King Dai!
At this moment, the emperor's mood is difficult to distinguish, naturally because he is afraid of the king!
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Ma Shunde replied immediately without hesitation: "Your Majesty, yes, many people saw this scene. If what I said is even half-false, Your Majesty, you can take my head right away! "
"Also, Liu Zhan, who is presiding over the ritual, is waiting outside. The emperor can summon him for questioning at any time."
Ma Shunde lowered his head and said, while continuing to think in his heart: "Gods and men are respectful, and dragons are in their arms. Let alone grandfather and grandson, even father and son can't get along!"
"Back then, the prince couldn't even tolerate him, let alone the king on behalf of him. It must have been his decree that the king on behalf of him would be imprisoned even if he didn't die!"
Ma Shunde was secretly proud. He had offended the king last time and had been feeling uneasy. This time he could finally eliminate the hidden danger!
This is God helping me!
However, the Dai Wang has been eliminated, who is left?
Whoever takes the top position this time may be the final result, right?
Is it the King of Shu or the King of Qi?
However, whether it is the king of Shu or the king of Qi, it is not difficult for Ma Shunde to accept.
He had received courtesy from these two people and had done things for them. However, just because he had received courtesy and done things for them, the relationship was still too far away.
Should I be more attentive in the future?
We should try our best to have as many good relationships with these two princes as possible, right?
Besides, the emperor's body is getting worse day by day. Maybe one day...
Ma Shunde himself felt strange. He didn't know why, but he had some inexplicable resentment and hatred towards King Dai. Maybe it was because King Dai had a good relationship with Mr. Zhao?
Although it is strange, Ma Shunde is not too strange. After decades in the palace, he has seen too much that there is no conflict of interest, but it is just something that does not suit his needs.
Maybe you are like this too, conflicting temperaments?
After thinking about it, Ma Shunde suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Is it... too quiet in the palace?
He turned away from his thoughts and suddenly felt that rain and snow were falling outside, and he was kneeling in the palace waiting for the emperor's order, but he had not received an answer for so long, so long. Could it be...
My heart, which had been burning with pride ever since I ran back after seeing the vision, suddenly became cold.
This situation is not right!
It's been a while since I reported it, why didn't His Majesty respond?
After just asking a few questions, he fell silent. Shouldn't he immediately issue an order to take some measures against the king?
Even if you don't take action immediately, you should at least give a warning, right?
I am His Majesty's eunuch, leading the Imperial City. There is no need for His Majesty to avoid me when doing these things. Besides, the whole world is not the royal land, and His Majesty is not the kind of person who looks forward and backward after making a decision. He really wants to deal with Dai. King, it is impossible for him to have any scruples.
Wasn't it true that when you treated the prince, you were an upright prisoner? When you heard that the prince had committed suicide, you immediately killed the prince's entire family?
With his head lowered, Ma Shunde's heart became cold and even a little uneasy.
After a long time, I finally couldn't help but quietly raised my head and saw Eunuch Zhao not far away, half of his body hidden in the shadows, with no expression on his face.
This was completely inconsistent with his expectations, and Ma Shunde's heart sank even more. Most of his elation had already dissipated long ago.
"Get up, you are by my side too." The emperor said, "It's cold, it's not good to kneel on the ground for a long time."
Not only was there no immediate decree as Ma Shunde expected, but there was also no dissatisfaction with the king in his words. Hearing this faint comfort, Ma Shunde was not only unhappy, but also chilled. Although he stood up, he lowered his hands and bowed. I dare not say any more.
"Idiot, the emperor can't see your expression?" Eunuch Zhao glanced at him. Just now, Ma Shunde rushed in to report. Although he tried his best to suppress it, there were all the people present and saw it.
The emperor looked pale and looked out of the palace with unconcealed melancholy. After a long time, he said lightly: "I'm a little tired. Get me some pills."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Zhao responded immediately. At this moment, the rain turned to snow, and it fell harder, but the sound became quieter. Looking across the hall, there was a rustling sound, and a cold wind came, making people feel cold all over. Han Che
Just thinking about it, Eunuch Zhao carefully brought the jade vase up, and the eunuch who was busy pouring a cup of warm water from the silver vase came over to serve him.
A jade vase contained only one pill, bright red, with sealing wax and a mark. Eunuch Zhao did not look at Ma Shunde and only concentrated on serving the emperor to take the pill.
"Is this the recently improved Xiao Huan Dan?" the emperor observed and asked.
"Yes, the Da Huan Dan has some overbearing and drying properties, so it must not be taken regularly... It was jointly developed by Hui Chun Palace in the palace and Taiyuan Hospital. The formula inside is used to supplement the Xiao Huan Dan. Although the effect is slower, it is beneficial without any harm."
"I know." The emperor put the elixir into his mouth and drank it with warm water. After a while, his face turned slightly red and was no longer as pale as before.
There is a large mirror next to it, one person tall. Although it is made of copper, it is very clear. You can see the whole person, and you can also see the appearance at this moment.
This was specially placed here by the emperor. He slowly walked over and looked in front of the mirror without saying a word.
There was another silence in the hall, and you could hear a pin drop to the ground. Even Ma Shunde didn't dare to speak anymore, he just stood with his head bowed, his heart was in chaos, and the feeling of uneasiness became more and more intense.
After a long time, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and asked, "Three years ago, there seemed to be strange phenomena in the starry sky?"
This question was asked suddenly. Eunuch Zhao stood aside and raised his eyebrows without saying a word, but Ma Shunde was immediately shocked.
"Yes, the astronomy doctor at the observatory said that it is very urgent that two stars have offended the Emperor Star." Ma Shunde thought of this and immediately answered, feeling secretly happy in his heart.
It turns out that His Majesty is not unresponsive, but is thinking about this!
This matter was also a big deal three years ago. The emperor ordered an inquiry. Although nothing was found later, it was still a worry. Now that I think of what happened three years ago, and in light of today's incident, the acting king must be. It's going to be over, maybe, there won't even be any prisoners, just death, right?
