Chapter 418 Everyone Has Their Own Ambition
The woman with a green face and fangs: ...
She nodded to 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 guards, please approve it as soon as possible."
Jiang Longshou raised his eyelids and looked at him in disbelief.
Xu Zhao turned his head away 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 good friend in his mind seemed to be ruined.
He was puzzled and said, "You heard others slander me, so you went up to argue with them."
"A Zhao, 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 flushed when asked, "I'm talking about brotherhood, not loyalty between a ruler and his subjects."
"I am just one of 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, but the benefits and risks you get are the same."
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 make it clear how precious the people they leave behind are.
He just noticed it on his friend, and he couldn't help but persuade him: "A Zhao, do you still remember how much effort you put in when you squeezed your way into the East Palace?"
"Now, are you giving up just because of a little disturbance?"
Xu Zhao was already a little angry and embarrassed.
He knew that he was being disloyal, and being dissuaded again and again was nothing more than a mockery to him at this point.
He immediately said angrily: "Brother, I just asked you to do something, but you are making excuses."
"Is it difficult to release someone? Or has the East Palace become so destitute that it lacks a guard like me?"
He spoke very loudly, as if the louder he spoke, the better it could cover up his guilty conscience and the fact that he had acted like a villain.
"If you like to show your loyalty and gamble, don't drag me into it."
"I have a lot of people in my family, unlike you who only have an 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 has always been a point of attack for others against Jiang Longshou.
No matter how worthy Jiang Zhixian was to be his father, they would not understand and would only say it with contempt and ridicule.
It is a fact, but it is 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."
"A treacherous person will not be valued even if he goes to another place."
Xu Zhao said firmly: "Don't talk nonsense. You can't keep me in the current situation."
Jiang Longshou: ...Who wants to keep you?
Not only the guards, but also some palace servants with connections were trying to find ways to leave.
Someone asked Xiao Jian, he was transferred to the East Palace later, no one knew that he and Commander Jiang of the East Palace were childhood friends.
He never brags about it and is very grateful to be transferred here.
