Not long after, Ma De, who was outside the imperial study, received a report, immediately stepped into the door and hurriedly walked in, turned the direction and saw Gonggong Feng kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and knelt next to Gonggong Feng.

"The old minister sees the emperor! Long live the emperor, long live! ”

Dongfang Xiao's squinted eyes opened a slit, looked at Ma De, who was kneeling on the ground for a moment, and suddenly said softly: "Long live?" I think you'd like to be right now. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ma De was suddenly shocked, raised his head and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, why did you say this?!" The old minister is loyal to His Majesty, the blue sky can prove it, and he is willing to smear His Majesty's liver and brain, and then die! If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, the old minister... Old minister......"

"Alright."

Dongfang Xiao waved his hand impatiently to stop Ma De's show, and asked without fluctuating his tone: "Tell me, what's going on with your son?" ”

Ma De wiped his cold sweat, and the secret path finally got through the difficulty, he remembered Ma Jintian's reaction, and couldn't help frowning:

"The old minister dared to guarantee with his life that His Majesty wanted to give marriage, but only the old minister himself knew, and he did not inform the child. Now Yunjing City is full of storms because of children's affairs, and someone is definitely deliberately making trouble! ”

Tricksters?

Dongfang Xiao thought for a moment, and then shook his head slightly, "No matter how the news is leaked, the person in the secret has achieved his goal, since that kid can't do it, you two can tell me, which kid is right with my niece?" ”

"This ......"

Gonggong Feng had a thoughtful look on his face, although Ma De was lost in his heart, he didn't dare to show emotions on his face at the moment, and tried his best to solve problems for Dongfang Xiao.

After a while, Gonggong Feng was the first to speak: "Long live the lord, how about the eldest son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, that one of the talents ......"

Before Gonggong Feng finished speaking, he was interrupted impatiently by Dongfang Xiao and scolded: "Idiot! The kid from the Ministry of Rites is twenty-four years old, and he has taken a three-room wife's room, Su Li is also my niece, the lord of the dignified Han Kingdom, you let her marry her as a side room, do you want me to be scolded for 10,000 years?! ”

Gonggong Feng's body trembled, and he kept kowtowing, "The old slave doesn't dare!" ”

"Humph!!"

Dongfang Xiao stood up, turned his sleeve and shook Gonggong Feng's face, "You two heard clearly, I am choosing a husband for the lord of Dahan Kingdom, how can I be childish?!" If you can't find the right person, won't you let others laugh at you? My royal family can't afford to lose this man! ”

"If you can't think of someone, just kneel for me until I think of it!"

Dongfang Xiao put down the next sentence, flicked his sleeves and left the imperial study, listening to the footsteps getting farther and farther away, Ma De and Feng Gonggong glanced at each other, and both sighed lightly, both saw the panic and helplessness in each other's eyes.

Dongfang Xiao is obviously angry with them because of Ma Jintian's affairs.

"Gonggong Feng, do you know why His Majesty suddenly wants to give marriage?"

After the people in the imperial study were gone, Ma De couldn't help but ask out loud.

"The young talents in the entire Yunjing City are overwhelming, if Your Majesty really wants to give marriage to that little county lord, there are many people who are right."

Gonggong Feng reminded Ma De in a low voice, and then looked left and right, and his voice was lowered, "Your Majesty must have a very special intention to do this, and you have to think about it carefully." ”

Ma De's heart was slightly cold, and he thought of a lot in an instant, but ...... How dare he really say such a rebellious thing, if this matter is just a temptation by His Majesty to him, and he is really too smart, maybe His Majesty will deal with him next......

Made wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and his slightly cloudy eyes showed a trace of embarrassment.

Gonggong Feng knelt aside, and did not continue to remind Ma De, his words were explicit enough, His Majesty's thoughts were clear to him, but he had to be unclear in order to live a more nourishing life, so he deliberately said that the son of the Ministry of Rites was just to protect himself.

This time he knelt here, but he was implicated by Ma De, what His Majesty really wanted to ask was Ma De, not him, if he said the right person, His Majesty would definitely be even more displeased.

In the quiet imperial study, Made's heavy breathing became more and more harsh, and the sweat on the ground under his forehead was already wet, which showed how violently his heart fluctuated.

"Ma-sama!"

Suddenly, a sound that seemed to be there came into his ears, and Ma Jintian's body shook slightly, and he was about to speak, when the voice came again.

"Don't make a noise, I just can't bear to see the adults continue to kneel, and come to remind the adults of a few words. Adults just need to listen, not speak. ”

Ma De's eyes flashed with a strange color, and sure enough, he didn't expose the voice, although he suspected that the owner of the voice was the person who leaked the information, but he was not sure to deal with the aftermath, and he really needed this person's reminder to get through the difficulty.

As for whether he was used, it would have to wait until he successfully broke away from Dongfang Xiao's suspicions.

"The person Your Majesty is looking for must meet three requirements!"

Three?!

Ma De was stunned, and there were three restrictions.

"As soon as it comes, it is the right person, the object of the county lord's marriage, so that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military can not find flaws, at least in terms of status, it is no worse than the county lord!"

"Second, the family that this person belongs to is either like Lord Ma and completely works for the Dongfang family. Either that, it is a paper tiger with only status and no real power, and it is easier for His Majesty to deal with it. ”

"Third, this person needs to be someone the county lord doesn't like, to make the county lord disgusted enough, it is best to let the county lord resist, and then let the eighth prince ...... So, does Master Ma understand? ”

Hearing this, Ma De's heart suddenly brightened, and he was immediately shocked.

Really!

Your Majesty can't help but make a move on the Eighth Prince?!

In order to deal with the eighth prince, he spared such a large circle, and it is really the heart of the emperor, which is difficult to guess.

But who could be the one who reminded him?

can understand His Majesty's thoughts, and can transmit the sound in the palace, could it be that he is not the initiator of the leakage of information, but a member of the Oriental family?

"Did Your Majesty send me to remind me......

Doubts rose in Made's heart, but he also knew that this doubt could only be buried in his stomach, so as not to cause trouble and ask for trouble.

"Anyway, after the mysterious man's reminder, I have the right person."

Ma De's thoughts turned in his heart, there was no need to check the news about Su Li at all, everything that happened around the first beauty in Yunjing City would be spread by someone.

For example, in the past few months, there has been a lot of uproar in Punfu to study......

Thinking of this, Ma De showed a confident smile and said to Gong Feng who was kneeling beside him: "Gong Feng, you are really tired this time, the old man has already thought of a suitable candidate." ”

Gonggong Feng showed a hint of surprise and surprise, it only took a long time for Ma De to think of a foolproof plan, it seems that this person's mind is much more powerful than he originally imagined.

Soon, Gonggong Feng invited Dongfang Xiao to come.

"Gonggong Feng told me, you have already thought of a suitable candidate, tell me about it."

Dongfang Xiao waved his sleeves and sat down, with a majestic face, and a pair of eyes that couldn't see the depth of his eyes looked at Ma De with a humble face.

"Your Majesty!"

Ma De got up and bowed, "The minister thinks that the third prince of General Ling's Mansion is an extremely suitable candidate!" ”

"Oh?"

Dongfang Xiao's eyes were surprised, and his tone became gentle, "Why did Aiqing say this?" ”

Ma De knew that there was a drama at a glance, and hurriedly said: "In terms of background, Ling Li, the third son of the Ling family, is full of loyalty, and there is a heroine like Gu Taijun, Ling Li's identity is completely worthy of the county lord!" ”

"Moreover, the old minister also heard that the third son of the Ling family was quite fond of Su Li, although in the end it was not done and was rejected by the county lord, but the matter is man-made, if Your Majesty gives marriage, maybe it is also the beauty of adults, and it also solves the matter of the Ling family's marriage, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

Dongfang Xiao listened to the corner of his lips, but on the surface he pretended to be sad and sighed: "Indeed, Ling Li's kid doesn't learn and can't do anything, the ancient Taijun has come to me for help more than once, and now the prodigal son doesn't change his money, if my niece is willing to marry him, it's not a bad thing." It's a pity, I don't know if the eighth brother is willing to ......"

Ma De was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately followed Dongfang Xiao's words and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry at all!" You are the lord of a country, and you are the brother of the eighth prince, the eldest brother is the father, and he has worked hard for the county lord, and it is a great kindness to choose a good king! How could the Eighth Prince refuse? ”

"Hahaha......"

When Dongfang Xiao heard this, Lang laughed, "What Aiqing said is very true, I think too much. Without further ado, Gonggong Feng immediately ordered someone to draw up the holy decree, and Ma Aiqing will bother you to go to the Rui Wang's Mansion to read the holy decree in person, hoping that the eighth brother can understand my painstaking efforts. ”

"Your Majesty, is it inappropriate for me to read the holy decree, it has always been ...... to read the holy decree"

Ma De's face was faintly ugly, and he looked at Gonggong Feng who was standing aside, Dongfang Xiao wanted to deal with King Rui, and even wanted him to be a pawn!

"What, Aiqing doesn't want to?"

Dongfang Xiao's eyelids were raised, exuding a sense of danger, Ma De's heart was immediately shocked, and he hurriedly saluted and said, "Old minister, obey the holy decree!" ”

At the same time, Ma De smiled bitterly in his heart, he had already ridden a tiger, and now if he didn't agree, Dongfang Xiao would take him under the knife. Until he left the imperial study in a daze, he didn't know where he had provoked Dongfang Xiao to suspect him.

"The choice back then was wrong......"

In the clear sky outside the imperial study, Ma De exhaled a turbid breath, Dongfang Xiao is not a good master, so it is impossible for him to hang himself on a tree.

After Ma De left, Gonggong Feng was full of doubts and stood beside Dongfang Xiao.

He was really puzzled why Ma De did what Dongfang Xiao wanted and was still punished.

Dongfang Xiao snorted coldly and woke him up, "Sending someone to keep an eye on Ma De, it only took half an hour to find out my thoughts, don't you think it's too fast?" Fast, it's not a flaw. ”

Gonggong Feng's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The old slave will arrange it." ”

The next day—

Ma De came to the Rui Wangfu without warning with a holy decree, and the content of it immediately caused an uproar in Yunjing City!
