Chapter 418 Everyone has his own ambitions
The woman with a green face and fangs: ...
She nodded towards Master You with a smile, "Sir, I think the children still have too little homework."
......
East Palace.
As a good friend of Jiang Longshou, Xu Zhao came to him with gifts.
"Brother, I want to discuss something with you."
He rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said frankly: "My family has arranged other work for me, and I want to be transferred out of the East Palace."
"You are the commander of the imperial guards, so please approve it for me as soon as possible."
Jiang Longshou raised his eyelids and looked at him in disbelief.
Xu Zhao turned his head and stammered, "Don't look at me like that. There's nothing wrong with striving for higher goals."
Jiang Longshou withdrew his gaze, and the impression of his friend in his mind seemed to be ruined.
He was puzzled and said, "You listened to others' slander about me, so you went up to argue with them."
"Azhao, I always thought you were a loyal person."
"You also know the rumors in the court. If everyone leaves at this moment, how will others view Your Highness?"
Xu Zhao's cheeks became hot when asked, "I'm talking about brotherhood, not loyalty between a ruler and his subjects."
"I am just one of the many guards. If I win the bet, I won't get much advantage, but if I lose, I will be implicated."
"Of course you are different, the benefits and risks you get are equal."
Jiang Longshou closed his eyes.
He can understand people's desire to seek benefits and avoid harm, and even has a subtle sense of joy in seeing it happen.
It is the people who escape that highlight how precious the people they leave behind are.
But when he found out about his good friend, he couldn't help but give him some advice: "Azhao, do you still remember how much effort it took for you to squeeze into the East Palace?"
"Now, just because of a small disturbance, are you giving up?"
Xu Zhao was already somewhat annoyed and angry.
He knew that he was suspected of being treacherous, and being dissuaded again and again was nothing more than a mockery to him at that moment.
He immediately said angrily: "Brother, I just asked you to do a favor, but you are making excuses."
"Is it difficult to release someone? Or has the Eastern Palace fallen into such a state that it needs a guard like me?"
He spoke very loudly, as if the louder he spoke the better he could hide his guilty conscience and the fact that he was a villain.
"You like to show your loyalty, but if you like gambling, don't drag me in."
"I have a lot of people in my family, unlike you who only have a eunuch adoptive father!"
"I can't be like you, carefree and worry-free!"
He finished yelling in one breath, then he realized that Long Shou's expression was not right.
Being the son of a eunuch, he has always been a point of attack for others against Jiang Longshou.
No matter how worthy of being his father he felt in his heart that Jiang Zhixian was, they would not understand and would only speak of it with contempt and ridicule.
It is a fact, but also malicious.
But today, it was said by his good friend whom he had always regarded as a brother, which was tantamount to being stabbed in the soft spot by someone he trusted.
"Well, everyone has their own aspirations."
He said expressionlessly.
"Once you make a decision, there is no going back on it."
"People who betray their trust will not be valued even if they go somewhere else."
Xu Zhao said firmly: "Stop talking nonsense. You can't keep me in the current situation."
Jiang Longshou: ...Who wants to keep you?
Not only the imperial guards, but also some palace servants in secret places were trying to find ways to leave.
Someone asked Xiao Jian, he was transferred to the Eastern Palace later, no one knew that he and Commander Jiang of the Eastern Palace were childhood friends.
He never showed off and was very grateful to be transferred here.
