Ma Shunde glanced at the emperor in surprise, and then lowered his eyelids: "Even the Jade Toad Temple that I just dealt with, there are already sixteen. ”

Every time he thinks of this number, Ma Shunde can't help but feel numb on his scalp, sixteen, this is not sixteen workshops, let alone sixteen restaurants, this is sixteen shrines!

The shrine that has been entrenched in the capital for many years, even if it is the weakest, should not be underestimated.

What's more, dealing with the shrine on behalf of the king is not a persimmon looking for a soft pinch at all, but can really list the crimes and deal with them according to the major and minor crimes - which of these is better?

Maybe a few shrines with many believers but more peaceful lives will not be troubled by these sixteen shrines if they are dealt with.

The courage of the acting king is really great!

Even I have to praise myself, it's amazing!

Ma Shunde admired in his heart, the acting king was simply dying, did he really rely on his enthusiasm, or did he have something to rely on?

No matter how you think about it, I feel that except for the emperor, there can be no bigger backstage.

But the emperor's thoughts on the acting king are also very complicated, and the acting king will not be able to get good results in the future.

Knowing that he can't do it, maybe, the acting king or a young man?

This thought flashed quickly in Ma Shunde's mind, but he felt that it was wrong, so he just bowed his head and waited for the emperor's order.

When the emperor heard this, he was silent for a long time, his eyes shining under the morning candle, and suddenly he dimmed again, and said: "The acting king is willing to work hard, has the courage to do things, and I am sincerely comforted.

As he spoke, he went out, and Ma Shunde hurriedly stepped forward to help, his tentacles were cold, with the unique body odor of the old man.

"I'm old. ”

Feeling that his body was getting worse day by day, thinking that the pill had not been refined for a long time, a trace of gloom flashed in the emperor's eyes, could it be that before I died, I couldn't see the pill refined?

The emperor has been particularly impatient in recent days, and when he thought of this, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and he arrived at the side hall and motioned for Ma Shunde to let go.

Preparing breakfast for the emperor is naturally hearty, and he doesn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest, but he has no appetite in the eyes of the emperor.

After barely drinking a small spoonful of soup, he put down his chopsticks and motioned to withdraw.

"Go to the study. The emperor said.

Ma Shunde hurriedly responded and accompanied the emperor to the imperial study.

Ma Shunde has been here for an unknown number of times, and at this time he changed his identity and carefully examined it, and there were palace maids standing in front of the corridors and aisles.

The imperial study, bright yellow heavy curtains, bookshelves are scattered, bowing down to serve the eunuchs, the folds on the imperial case have been folded, the pen and ink are waiting, but it is different from ordinary people, dipped in cinnabar.

"This is Zhu Pen. Ma Shunde's eyes are hot, this is the pen used by the emperor to review the folds and the imperial documents, representing the authority of the emperor, without the permission of the emperor to use it without permission, it is an edict, and he will be executed according to the law.

It can be said that with the movement of the pen, the honor and disgrace of life and death of tens of thousands of people are in one stroke.

This batch of folds was handed over from the cabinet, and today is not the day of the early dynasty, but the emperor still has to work.

Because of the spentness of his eyes, he can't see clearly after a long time, and the big eunuch who serves like Ma Shunde is also responsible for reading the excerpts, don't look at it It seems that he has no power, and he may be mixed up to this point, and he can basically manipulate a lot of things.

In the past, it was Zhao's father-in-law who ordered to deal with these things, but now it is finally his turn!

As he was thinking, he heard the rustling of his clothes and was busy looking at it, but he saw that the emperor did not immediately take his seat, but stood in front of the screen and pondered, and hurriedly bowed his head, but his heart was a little anxious.

After a long time, the emperor paced slowly, and said, "There is a decree." ”

Immediately, there was a eunuch with a skilled pen in hand, waiting for the emperor to give an order.

The emperor muttered: "The acting king is young, I thought that I would have to learn for a few years, but now I have the courage to do things, regardless of reputation, but I am very surprised, which is not to be praised." ”

"Qingyuan Temple was originally suspicious, some of the crimes were, and some of them were chasing after the wind, but now the defense is doing things with all his heart, and the previous sins can not only be eliminated, but also rewarded, and the name of the Zen master can be given. ”

"The Yin Guan faction has a lot of credit, but it has been canonized, and one more plaque can be given. ”

The eunuch wrote very quickly, the emperor's words fell, the inky draft had been written, he blew it carefully, held it to the emperor with both hands, the emperor looked at it carefully, revised a few words, nodded and sat down, began to play the fold, and said without raising his head: "Copy a copy, cover it with a jade seal, and wait for you to pass on the decree and instruct Shuntianfu to strictly investigate the assassination of the acting king." ”

"Yes!" didn't take the turn to really read, Ma Shunde was a little disappointed, but this was also a difference, and he agreed and withdrew, and the holy decree was to be obtained, and he had to wait.

"Seal the Zen master, give a plaque?" Out of the main hall, the godson was busy serving diligently, serving Ma Shunde to eat something, and at the same time hearing Ma Shunde mention this, the little eunuch was suddenly surprised.

"It seems that the acting king still has a status in the emperor's heart, and he can succeed if he mentions it!"

"You kid knows a fart!" Ma Shunde glared at him with a little hatred.

"Ask my godfather for advice!" the little eunuch hurriedly climbed the pole and asked for advice.

Ma Shunde saw that there were only two of them at the moment, and there was no one else, but he was also afraid of being heard, so he only said: "You just need to remember, the emperor's heart is unpredictable, we are slaves, we just need to serve the emperor well, and if you think about it more, it may make you lose your head, understand?"

The little eunuch was frightened and hurriedly said that he understood.

"Okay, it's time for our family to leave the palace. As soon as he finished drinking a cup of tea, the holy decree arrived, and Ma Shunde estimated the time and got up.

"I don't know if the old dog surnamed Zhao is lying on the couch waiting for death, forget it, if you have a chance to turn back, you have to visit once. ”

Almost at the same time, in the courtyard of an imperial city, the palace maid walked silently, and in a bedroom in the main courtyard, Zhao Gonggong, who had just been talked about by Ma Shunde, was leaning back against the cushion and looking at the two folds in his hand.

Although he looked a little sickly, he was not as haggard as Ma Shunde imagined, and the fold was carefully flipped through, and after reading it, he didn't speak for a while, but only sighed secretly in his heart.

"Sixteen Shrines, how should you end up offending these people?" Zhao Gonggong sighed secretly: "There will be praise in the imperial court, but there will be a lot of trouble." ”

Such many shrines have been dealt with, and there are a lot of people who have offended, don't look at the majesty of the king, as if any shrine has no power to resist, this is because the emperor can still use the king, and the matter of the shrine is dealt with, it is not necessarily.

Invisibly, the rapid rise of the king was interrupted by himself.

"Let's not talk about this, on behalf of the king, the Daofan family has benefited, and I don't know how to pay it back in the future. ”

"Godfather, are we doing something?" was pondering, but the little eunuch couldn't hold back and finally asked.

Gonggong Zhao stared at it and said, "The person to be investigated in our family is already guilty, and everything is decided by the emperor!"

What the little eunuch wanted to say, he was directly frightened back by the coldness hidden at a glance, and hurriedly lowered his head: "What Godfather said is true!"

"Bring the fire fold. Zhao Gonggong looked up and said.

Immediately, the little eunuch handed the fire fold to him, and Zhao Gonggong burned the two folds little by little, and saw that most of them were burned before throwing them into the copper basin.

"Peng" burst into flames, and the remaining pieces of paper turned to ashes
