"It won't happen to my grandson."
Although the grandson was targeted by the emperor, everything is fine now. He has a good reputation and is growing in strength. Although he is far from being able to resist the emperor, as long as he is careful and cautious, the emperor will not be able to do anything to him for a moment.
Even if he failed as an imperial envoy this time, the emperor would not be able to depose this grandson at once.
After all, the registration and abolition of the grandson are important matters. This is the biggest protective umbrella for the grandson.
Taisun is not yet at the point of death, so although Taisun is suspected, he is not the first suspect.
Others are not lightly suspected, even more so than Taisun.
Now, the kings of Shu and Qi, including Taisun, are all suspected. Because there are so many suspects, it makes it difficult for them to determine who did it.
The two looked at each other and hesitated.
After a moment, Zhao Xu took a deep breath and said gloomily: "First of all, we need to cut off the root of the rumors. Regardless of the Imperial City Department, Shuntian Mansion must also contribute."
"Catch a few examples of those who spread rumors. There is no need for trial. They will be punished immediately."
Zhao Xu showed a trace of murderous intent: "I approved the right to kill. Now at this time, severe punishment must be used. If you kill someone wrong, you will kill someone wrong."
These words struck Qian Wei's heart, and he immediately raised his head and asked, "Where are the officials and scholars?"
"I'll also catch a few chickens, and those who lift people will be deprived of their honors and will not be allowed to take the imperial examination for life."
"For officials, if you take off your official robe, you will never use it again."
"This is done both overtly and covertly. We must find out who is spreading rumors and who wants to harm me, Da Zheng Genji."
Qian Wei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Xiang Zhao is really smart, I admire him, I will do it right away."
Talking, the two fell silent
After a moment, Zhao Xu, whose face became increasingly pale, took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "The first thing is to stop the rumors and prevent them from spreading."
"You go ahead and do it. The rest depends on the emperor's reaction."
Zhao Xu waved his hand and told Qian Wei to go and do it. He leaned back and kept breathing. It was obvious that his body couldn't bear it anymore.
Qian Wei now had no time or energy to devote to the old prime minister. Seeing that although he looked tired, his life was not in danger, he nodded in agreement and turned around to go out.
When he walked out of the hall, he didn't know what was going on. He suddenly couldn't help but look back and saw that the handsome chief minister in the past seemed to have aged more than ten years. He was aging and decadent. There was no trace of the past. Style?
He no longer had the majesty and calmness he once had, which shows how much of a blow this incident had to Zhao Xu.
"emperor……"
Even now Qian Wei's face turned pale and he was a little despairing when he thought about the seriousness of this matter.
Once this rumor spreads, I don’t know how many people’s minds will change.
The chief assistant has been following the emperor for many years. He has always been an important minister. He is used to intrigues and intrigues. He is not surprised by many things. Faced with this matter, he cannot accept it.
Not to mention others.
The cornerstone of the imperial court is the emperor, his ministers, his father and his son.
The emperor worships heaven as his father, and he is the son of heaven to rule all the people. The same is true for the emperor as his father.
The most terrifying thing is to prolong your life by poaching your son's heart, but the most terrifying thing is to shake this principle.
Even if they were forced by power and knives, all the officials still bowed to the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, but how much sincere awe did they still have in their hearts?
Even the court officials couldn't accept it, how could the more straightforward scholars accept it?
Can a general in charge of an army still remain unwaveringly loyal to such an emperor?
The more secret psychology is that no one in the world can live forever, let alone humans, even monsters, their life spans may be long or short, and no one can live longer than a thousand.
Now the emperor can eat his children and live forever, for eternity?
Whether it's for Tsunasa, for feelings, or for profit, I'm afraid it's unacceptable.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you doing this?
Imperial Palace·Early morning
Although there are rules in the palace, people like Ma Shunde can still use the hanging basket to come in if they really need something.
Even though it was early in the morning, there were still people on duty. Two eunuchs greeted him and walked through the palace to where the emperor was staying today.
There were two eunuchs at the door. Ma Shunde hesitated for a while and then said bravely: "I have something urgent to report to the emperor." (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 988 The slave’s death penalty
The eunuch didn't hesitate and said, "Mr. Ma will wait a moment."
This was a normal answer, but Ma Shunde was immediately startled, and his back immediately became wet.
At this time, the emperor should still be sleeping.
But sleeping is not so easy to pass on. Now he just passed on the message without saying a word. It is obvious that the emperor is not sleeping, or he has given orders in advance.
"Could it be that the emperor has already received the news?"
The sound of slight footsteps came from outside the palace, causing the emperor, who had not been sleeping well recently, to open his eyelids, and there was coldness in his cloudy eyes.
"Who..." the emperor asked in a low voice.
Suddenly a eunuch came in and replied with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, it's Eunuch Ma who wants to see you."
"Let him come in!" The emperor did not get up immediately, but was supported by someone, put on a robe, and just leaned on the couch and said.
When meeting a foreign minister, you naturally need to change your clothes.
In the eyes of royal nobles, chamberlains like Ma Shunde are tools that can help them go to the toilet, and they don't need to care about these at all.
Ma Shunde came in with a pale face. The emperor only glanced at him and frowned.
"What happened again?" the emperor asked coldly.
Ma Shunde was startled when he heard the word "again". He knelt on the ground with a thud and said in a trembling voice: "Hui, back to the emperor, this is what happened..."
He quickly recounted what happened in the restaurant, and then quickly explained the Imperial City Division's actions.
In order to prevent himself from being angered, Ma Shunde immediately intervened in the matter after learning about it to prevent the rumors from spreading.
It wasn't until everyone who could be caught was captured back to the Imperial City Division, the city gates were sealed, and the road leading to the outside of Shenzhen's mansion was blocked, that he hurried into the palace to report the matter.
But even so, when the emperor heard this, the muscles on his face still jumped, and fire burst out of his eyes!
"fatuous!"
"inability!"
The emperor, who stood up in his robes, was furious. He grabbed a jade cup on the low table and threw it at Ma Shunde.
"Someone just said nonsense, but it spread throughout the city!"
"Trash! You just blocked the city gates and streets, arrested a few people, and you think everything is safe?"
"If you people from the Imperial City Department were really useful, you wouldn't let this rumor spread throughout the city!"
Ma Shunde didn't even dare to hide. The emperor hit him hard, and the jade cup hit Ma Shunde on the forehead. That is to say, the emperor was weak now. Even if he hit it hard, it would just hit him. Ma Shunde dared not wipe the blood dripping from his forehead and kowtowed repeatedly.
"A slave is guilty of death, a crime of death..."
"Your Majesty, please calm down. You are a man of ten thousand gold. You can't let the traitor's words make you angry." I don't know when Hu Huaian, who had arrived, was kneeling on the ground and bowing his head. Ma Shunde personally fetched a bottle of medicine and poured it into the emperor's mouth carefully.
After drinking this small bottle of medicine, the emperor's pale face turned around a little, but he still kept coughing.
Hu Huaian had to be careful, beat his back and give him water. First update @ .
