Chapter 153: The Battle of the Capital (9)
Zhao Gonggong nervously led Xu Jun to the sedan chair, nagging along the way, telling Xu Jun not to run around in the palace, so as not to cause trouble and cause him to be affected at that time.
However, how could the people in the palace who are intrigued and deceitful, and who can be comfortable in the palace, be stupid enough to believe that Xu Jun just wants to be a eunuch?
Gonggong Zhao knew in his heart that Xu Jun must have other reasons for wanting to enter the palace, and eighty percent would not be a good thing. But compared to the lives of others, one's own life is the most important. He didn't care what Xu Jun wanted to do, as long as Xu Jun gave him the antidote, he would find a way to kill Xu Jun and push everything clean.
Xu Jun lowered his head and underwent nine interrogations in a row before entering the palace. This made Xu Jun secretly frightened, the palace was so heavily guarded, he wanted to leave with Xiao Yu'er, it was no less difficult than climbing to the sky. But there is no turning back from the bow, and now it seems to be too late to regret it. Besides, Xu Jun's dictionary does not regret these two words, don't regret it, otherwise there will be no chance to prove that you are right.
Gonggong Zhao arranged a side room for Xu Jun, which was a favor for a little eunuch who had just entered the palace. The eunuch system of the Qin Dynasty was relatively simple, far less complex than that of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Zhao Gonggong's position belonged to the deputy governor of Ouchi, and his brother Zhao Gao belonged to the number one chief among the eunuchs. Under Zhao Gonggong, there are still two official positions, the chief and the deputy leader, and the rest of the eunuchs have no rank.
Gonggong Zhao is quite majestic in the palace, and even some unfavored concubines have to look at his face. He arrogantly taught the little eunuchs in the palace a lesson, and then asked his subordinates to get out.
After only him and Xu Jun were left in the room, he immediately changed his face and groveled: "Little brother, are you still satisfied with the accommodation?" ā
Xu Jun has always disliked bullying the weak, and he can't get used to others bullying the weak, so he snorted coldly and said, "You are such a big official."
Gonggong Zhao smiled awkwardly and said, "These little eunuchs, if you don't fight, you can't get a weapon." Let the little brother smile. ā
Xu Jun sneered: "You have to be forgiving and forgiving, don't do too much in everything, otherwise the sky will not let you go." ā
It is impossible for any dynasty to achieve equality for everyone, this is not something that Xu Jun has the ability to change, and the fate of most people is already predestined when they are born. Only a lucky few can fight against fate.
Gonggong Zhao wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "What the little brother taught me is that this official must pay attention in the future." I don't know which master the little brother wants to serve? ā
The eunuch's duty was to serve the royal family, and each eunuch had his own master. Among them, the eunuchs who served the emperor had the highest status. The eunuchs who served the ordinary concubines had the lowest status. Xu Jun thought about it for a while and said, "It's good to serve the prince." ā
The Qiang wanted to marry the Great Qin and let Xiao Yu'er marry the crown prince Qin Wenwang, although the Qiang tribe was wiped out by the other four tribes, and Xiao Yu'er could not become the queen. But Xu Jun guessed that with Xiao Yuer's appearance, eighty percent of them were still with the prince, and it shouldn't be a big problem to be a concubine. He wanted to save Xiao Yu'er out, so he naturally wanted to get close to the prince.
"Okay, the little brother really has a vision. In the future, when the little brother soars, don't forget the official, the official will arrange it for you" Zhao Gonggong happily agreed to Xu Jun's request, which made Xu Jun a little surprised. I can't figure out how Gonggong Zhao could talk so easily.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, serving the prince is related to the future of the future. When Qin Batian was the crown prince, Zhao Gao was his personal eunuch. Later, after Qin Batian became the emperor, he immediately made Zhao Gao the chief manager. Xu Jun wants to serve the crown prince, which is equivalent to wanting to become the next governor. It stands to reason that Gonggong Zhao shouldn't agree so easily.
However, what Xu Jun didn't expect was that Zhao Gonggong had his own plans. The eunuch has no heirs, and when Xu Jun became the governor, it is estimated that Zhao's father-in-law was hanging, and he was grassy. What he needs to worry about now is how to save his life, Xu Jun's every move may cause him to fall into a situation from which he will never recover. As long as Xu Jun doesn't mess with the harem and doesn't assassinate the current emperor, then everything will be easy to do.
Of course, Gonggong Zhao never imagined that Xu Jun's purpose in approaching the prince was to save a woman. If he knew the truth of the matter, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. He is not a cold-blooded monster, but a eunuch like him, who has lived in intrigue all his life, will not understand even in another hundred years, how can anyone risk his life for an irrelevant woman.
After Xu Jun had dinner, he fell asleep. He slept very soundly this night, and the palace was heavily guarded, so he didn't have to worry about danger at all. As long as he is hidden in the palace, no official or killer can come close.
Before the sky was bright, Zhao Gonggong rushed to Xu Jun's room, and said with a sad face: "Little brother, see if you can change someone to serve." The prince prefers the eunuchs who are serving him now, and does not agree to change to other eunuchs. ā
Xu Jun frowned and said, "Then who do you want Young Master Ben to serve?" āć
"Little brother, the princess is short of a eunuch to serve, do you think it's okay to serve the princess?"
"Princess? Which princess? Xu Jun's face changed greatly, and he thought in his heart: "I'm cĒo, won't I be serving Princess Crescent?" That young master might as well commit suicide directly. ā
Zhao Gonggong replied: "Little brother, it is Princess Mingzhu who needs to be served by eunuchs, the youngest daughter of the emperor, who is only twelve years old this year. ā
"Twelve? This is not trafficking, isn't it, isn't this watching children? I'm cĒo, does this young master seem to be such a good-natured person? But twelve years old is not too young, and he can do a lot of things. It's just that the prince has a personal eunuch to serve, isn't there a personal eunuch to serve this pearl princess? ā
"This..."Zhao Gonggong was hesitant, Xu Jun said angrily: "If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go, this young master hates people the most." ā
Gonggong Zhao gritted his teeth and said: "Princess Mingzhu is rude and willful, loves to play tricks on people, and most of the little eunuchs who serve Princess Mingzhu are injured and leave, if the little brother is unwilling, the official will send other eunuchs over." ā
Xu Jun waved his hand and said, "No need, Young Master Ben has never met any unruly women." I think back then, Young Master Ben was also a well-known gentleman, and coming to this set in front of Young Master Ben was like an axe and looking for death. ā
"Little brother, you really don't have to think about it anymore?"
Zhao's words reminded Xu Jun, and he suddenly thought that if he could serve Xiao Yu'er, wouldn't it be more convenient to escape.
He pretended to be thinking and hesitated: "Isn't there a concubine who has just entered the palace?" ā
Xu Jun wanted to find out Xiao Yu'er's whereabouts, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to let Zhao Gonggong say it. Once he said it clearly, Zhao Gonggong would definitely be suspicious.
Gonggong Zhao took Xu Jun into the palace, after all, he had a trace of luck, thinking that Xu Jun would not cause trouble in the palace. Because once something happens, Xu Jun himself will die, but he doesn't know Xu Jun's personality too much.
If he detected Xu Jun's true intentions, then he would definitely fight with Xu Jun regardless of it. Because poisoning is only killing him, but what Xu Jun wants to do will harm him to the Nine Clans, anyway, the left and right are dead, why should he bother his family?
"This official is just a eunuch, where is he qualified to participate in the affairs of the harem. The new concubines who entered the palace, only the queen knew best. ā
Xu Jun pursed his lips, it seemed that if he wanted to know where Xiao Yu'er lived, he could only ask other eunuchs and palace maids. But if you want to move freely around the palace, you must have an errand to put on you. There are so many relatives of the emperor, and they basically have their own personal eunuchs, and Gonggong Zhao has no choice. Instead of serving those unfavored concubines, it is better to serve Princess Mingyue. It's just a child, who can be brutal and willful. He has been in the flower field for many years, and he can't get a little girl's film, so he underestimates his strength.
He said expressionlessly: "In that case, the young master should still serve the princess of the pearl." ā
Zhao Gonggong promised: "Okay, tomorrow the official will send someone to take the little brother to Princess Mingzhu." But little brother, you have already entered the palace, and the antidote should be given to this official. ā
"You want an antidote?" Xu Jun's face was not good.
Zhao Gonggong nodded and said, "Hmm."
"Okay, you want this young master to give it to you" Xu Jun sneered again and again, suddenly grabbed Zhao Gonggong's injured hand, squeezed it hard, and the scream like killing a pig sounded, Zhao Gonggong said in a cold sweat: "Little brother, this official has already done what you ordered, why don't you give this official an antidote?" ā
"Are you an idiot for Young Master Ben, give you the antidote now, I'm afraid you will find a way to kill Young Master Ben. Do things for Young Master Ben honestly, and I will give you the antidote in ten days. ā
"But the poison in this official"
"Don't worry, you can't die in a month. As long as you are obedient and obedient, this young master will guarantee you a long life. ā
Zhao Gonggong sighed, it was easy to get on a thief ship and get off a thief ship, he knew that things were not so simple. (Want to know more exciting developments in "The Master of Great Qin"?)
