Chapter 1773: Soldiers besiege the Prince of Shu's Mansion(1/2)
Zhao Bingzhong felt cold in his heart, and he heard the emperor suddenly say: "Go and find Ma Shunde."
Zhao Bingzhong didn't need this matter. He looked at an eunuch, and the eunuch immediately bowed and said, "I'll go now."
City ●Imperial City Office
At this time, it was raining scattered in the sky, and the raindrops made the green bricks in the yard crackle, and several monks stood with their hands down.
Ma Shunde was paced back and forth, anxiously waiting for information from all over the place.
Because of Huolianqi's incident, Ma Shunde was scolded by the emperor and was frightened. He almost fell ill after returning.
However, if he gets sick at this time, he will not be pityed by the emperor, but may completely lose the opportunity.
Once a person like him loses his holy heart, what is waiting for him is the end of his death.
"Hateful, what should I do, what?"
The light in the room was very dark, and there were no more candles, only one candle was shining. Ma Shunde was walking slowly, with a calm face and silent.
Continue to investigate the matter of King Qi, this is a very terrible hot potato.
Ma Shunde really doesn't want to get involved anymore.
However, this is the duty of the Imperial City Department. What should I do to make this hot potato sent out and not be punished by the emperor?
No matter how I think about it, I feel it is impossible.
Imperial City is a position I strive for, but even if I hand over the Imperial City now and lose my authority, I will die faster.
The anxious mood made him scold him constantly, and no one dared to say anything, and the atmosphere was depressing.
"Du Gong, someone has come from the palace."
It was at this moment that a man said with a slut.
"Please!"
When Ma Shunde heard that someone came from the palace and went out, he saw that he was a young eunuch who was serving the emperor, and he smiled and said, "It turns out that Eunuch Chen is here."
Eunuch Chen has a good relationship with Zhao Bingzhong. Although he is not Zhao Bingzhong recognized his son, he has something to do with another eunuch.
Ma Shunde used to look down on this little Chenzi, and he was not very attractive in terms of age or qualifications.
But after being scolded by the emperor, Ma Shunde seemed to have changed his sexual desire and became much more polite to the people in the palace.
Eunuch Chen was so innocent that he smiled even more harmoniously.
"How dare you call your father-in-law in front of the governor!"
"Duke Ma, Your Majesty asks you to enter the palace immediately, please follow us."
Your Majesty summoned him into the palace?
Could it be something related to King Qi again?
Ma Shunde's heart skipped a beat, and he had to smile with him and asked, "Eunuch Chen, I wonder why?"
Eunuch Chen glanced at him and laughed in his heart. You, Ma Shunde, have such a fearful day. He said happily: "Governor, we don't dare to guess the matter of the emperor. We will know it naturally when our father-in-law goes there. Please don't let Your Majesty wait in a hurry."
This damn thing!
Ma Shunde was so nervous that he could only go back to the palace with him if he could not ask for useful content from his mouth.
When I entered, I smelled a faint smell of blood.
This taste is familiar to Ma Shunde.
Is someone getting beaten?
Ma Shunde felt more and more uneasy. He lowered his head and went in. He just took a look and bowed to the emperor sitting in the hall.
"I, Ma Shunde, pay homage to Your Majesty."
"Ma Shunde, I have something to do, and you will do it immediately." The emperor was not in a mood to be deep, and his pupils became darker and darker on his wrinkled face.
"I'm waiting for the order!"
Ma Shunde quickly raised his ears and heard the emperor say, "Someone reported that the King of Shu colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty, and Yingguo is suspected of being controlled by the remnants. I ordered you to quickly find out the matter and not make any mistakes!"
Ma Shunde's heart skipped a beat again, and he went to investigate the remnants of the Shu King colluded with the previous dynasty, and also investigated the affairs of Yingguo?
These two things, no matter which one is, are very fatal!
The first thing is, do you need to investigate something or can’t you investigate something?
He was about to be rejected by the emperor because of Huolianqi's affairs with the King of Qi.
If the investigation revealed that the King of Shu really colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty, then after reporting, every time the emperor saw himself, wouldn’t he have to remember what the two sons of King of Qi and King of Shu did?
Can you still live?
But can you not agree?
As for Yingguo, it is actually even more terrifying.
Yingguo has been cultivating for decades and has swallowed many distant places. Now he has tens of thousands of armor, but if he is not careful, it will be a disaster immediately.
Ma Shunde complained secretly, not daring to show any of his face, and kowtowed to him: "I obey the order!"
When I left the palace, I immediately felt bitter and went out step by step, thinking about countermeasures in my mind. Until I left the palace, I couldn't think of any countermeasures that I could deal with this matter.
His face was gloomy and he rode back to the stronghold of the Imperial City Division in an ox cart.
"Come! Gather!"
With the order from Ma Shunde, the entire Imperial City Staff started to move.
"Godfather, do we really go to the Shu Prince's Mansion to investigate?" A little eunuch came to the Imperial City Office with Ma Shunde. He was not only Ma Shunde's godson and one of his confidants. The little eunuch was uneasy and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
The emperor only has two adult sons. If he offended the King of Qi and then offended the King of Shu, what should he do in the future?
Waiting for death?
Ma Shunde looked at him coldly and asked, "What about that?"
This is the emperor’s personal will!
In addition to obeying, there is any other way to go?
As for whether he would offend the King of Shu again this time, that is inevitable.
First, he offended the Grandson, then the King of Qi, and now he is King of Shu. The people of Ma Shunde are numb. If there are too many lice, they will not be afraid of itchy. If you offend them, offend them!
It's nothing more than death!
If you can't handle the problem for Your Majesty, you will be killed by Your Majesty first before you can settle it later.
What Your Majesty has to do is what he has assigned.
After being swept by Ma Shunde's fierce gaze, the eunuch immediately did not dare to say anything.
Soon, more than ten cavalry headed to the Shu Palace first.
In addition to these more than ten cavalry, people from other nearby strongholds were also given orders to transfer some people and also rushed to the Shu Palace.
Shu King's Mansion
The King of Shu was scolded last time, so he didn't go out very much. He only played chess and practiced calligraphy and painting in the mansion every day. He got tired of studying this day and went out to sit under the eaves. At this time, the raindrops were falling, and he couldn't help but murmur to Ma Youliang who was coming: "Recently, it's always rainy. I heard that the clouds and rain are about to arrive in the capital... It seems that something is wrong!"
The King of Shu was in a daze, but saw a man hurriedly running in, kneeling down and saying, "Report! King, the Imperial City Office is here! It was Ma Shunde who led the team himself! He has arrived at the gate of the royal palace!"
"What?!" When the King of Shu heard this, he stood up.
"Is Ma Shunde here?"
"He led the team, how many people did he come?"
The person who came in to report quickly said, "He personally brought about ten people, but they were all armored soldiers. When the young man came in, he saw cavalry gathering, all of whom were the Imperial City Division's Ti cavalry, with hundreds of people."
The King of Shu, who had originally stood up, sat back again.
not good!
This is the first thought that arises in my heart. Is it finally my turn this time?
The Imperial City Department has done such things once or twice. The King of Shu has heard of it several times in the past two years.
Any mansion surrounded by armored soldiers of the Imperial City Department will basically find it difficult for the people inside to turn over.
Without the order from his father, the eunuch Ma Shunde would never dare to bring so many people to the Shu Palace.
Thinking of his father's ruthlessness, the King of Shu burst into cold sweat on his forehead.
Seeing this, Ma Youliang, who was talking to him, felt panic first, calmed himself down, bowed and said, "Master, you can't get yourself confused first."
"Your business is all trivial matters. Although it is a bit taboo to make friends with court officials, everyone is doing it. The most important thing is that they have some connections with Yingguo, but they have been cut off and the people they contact have been cleaned up."
"As for the remnants of the previous dynasty of Ying State, the king can say that the court doesn't know it, how could the king know it?"
"Even if Ma Shunde comes, you can't find anything..."
"And not all the people he treated like this are unlucky. Think about Taisun..."
"Now, you must not lose your composure. How many people are watching you!"
