Hearing Zhu Jingxuan's words, the eunuch beside the Queen Mother was very impatient: As long as I can escape this disaster, what will your final outcome have to do with me?
It's a pity that now he really needs the help of this puppet emperor to cover up, so he has to patiently persuade Zhu Jingxuan:
"What did your Majesty say? How can this be said to be unfilial? In our opinion, saying that your Majesty was sick and why you did not go to see the Queen Mother is considered a great act of filial piety!"
"After all, the Queen Mother invited the noble ladies from the capital to come to the palace to attend a flower-viewing party. Your Majesty should have avoided it, otherwise it would be publicized by people with malicious intentions and tarnish the honor of the noble lady... Wouldn't this damage the reputation of the Queen Mother? ?”
"Your Majesty, for the sake of the reputation of the Queen Mother, you sealed yourself in the Weiyang Palace and completely avoided the noble lady. However, this also prevented you from going to see the Queen Mother... If the Queen Mother knew about this, he would How should I blame myself?"
"Therefore, Your Majesty, you don't have to explain anything to the Queen Mother. You just say that you were unable to go to see the Queen Mother because you were sick. In this way, you will not damage the Queen Mother's reputation and will not make the Queen Mother blame herself. Isn't it filial piety? "
…………
Hearing what the eunuch said, Zhu Jingxuan said deliberately: "If according to your statement, I said that I didn't go to see the Queen Mother because I was sick, that would indeed be a great act of filial piety, but..."
"It's nothing!" the eunuch said impatiently, "Since it is a great filial piety, your Majesty can quickly go with me to see the Queen Mother, and then use this as an excuse to resign!"
"Wait! Wait!" Zhu Jingxuan stopped the leader eunuch from pulling his hand, and then continued very seriously, "My father-in-law, have you forgotten? I, the chamberlain in Weiyang Palace, am outside Weiyang Palace. The guards all know that I have never been sick. If someone finds out afterwards, what will happen?"
"They took my money and wouldn't lie." The eunuch said nonchalantly, "If they dare to tell me, they won't be able to do anything good."
But in fact, what this eunuch was thinking was that if you pretended to be sick and didn't go to see the Queen Mother, even if something happened, it would be your own problem of resentment and contempt for the Queen Mother, and it had nothing to do with him, a little eunuch... As for Whether he would be involved in this matter because he came to see Zhu Jingxuan today, he couldn't care less about it!
In this little eunuch's view, if he does nothing, he will only be dead, but if he actively seeks change, maybe he can still find a way out!
As for Zhu Jingxuan, who was being "fooled" by the little eunuch at this time, he didn't believe a word of the lies the little eunuch told him.
In Zhu Jingxuan's view, not to mention that today's situation was arranged by him himself. Even if today's situation was not arranged by himself, he would not have listened to the little eunuch's words and messed around. After all, he clearly only needed to do it in front of the Queen Mother. "Tell the truth", then nothing will happen. Why should I lie and collude with this young eunuch to bribe the servants and guards to take risks?
Although it is said that the person who bribed the servants and the army guards was this young eunuch and had nothing to do with him as the emperor, but if it really happened, do you think the powerful Prime Minister Liu Xunxiang would believe it? Even if you believe it, you probably won’t get any good fruit of your own!
In that case, why bother?
What's more, this matter was originally done by him, the puppet emperor, so he had no reason to help the stupid little eunuch in front of him!
Therefore, facing the little eunuch reaching out to drag him again, Zhu Jingxuan decisively slapped away the little eunuch's paw: "Even as you said, I apologized to the queen mother for not going to see the queen mother because I was sick... but Have you ever thought that even if I really recovered from my illness in such a short period of time, it would still be inappropriate to see the Queen Mother at this time - although my illness is fake, others don't know about it. , Now I rashly go to see the Queen Mother, if someone misunderstands me and thinks that I want to infect the Queen Mother with my sick body, that would be bad!"
Seeing Zhu Jingxuan's expression suddenly change, and then hearing Zhu Jingxuan's righteous words, suddenly, a vague thought flashed through the heart of the chief eunuch: "Your Majesty, You've been chatting with me for so long, and you're not just hanging around our house...and hanging out with our slaves, right? In fact, Your Majesty, you don't want to use this as an excuse to say goodbye to the Queen Mother?"
"What did you say, father-in-law?" Zhu Jingxuan glared at the eunuch angrily and said, "I just suddenly figured out that no matter what happened, whether I did something wrong or something right, I shouldn’t have deceived the Queen Mother or my mother!”
"How can this be said to be deception?" The eunuch was so anxious that he immediately reached out to tug Zhu Jingxuan's sleeves again, but unfortunately, Zhu Jingxuan avoided him.
The eunuch who didn't drag Zhu Jingxuan's sleeve didn't care to be angry about it, and immediately continued to persuade Zhu Jingxuan eagerly: "Didn't I say it before? This is filial piety! This is great filial piety! Your Majesty, you Why can’t you remember it?”
"Lying to deceive your mother is unfilial. If you do filial things by doing unfilial things, how can you say you are filial? There is no such thing in the world!" Zhu Jingxuan flicked his sleeves and avoided the eunuch's persistent tugging. , and then said very coldly, "Father-in-law, please!"
"How about... let's discuss it again? Let's continue discussing it? Or, if you have any requirements, you can ask for them! Do you want money? Or if you want anything else, you can ask for it!" The eunuch still didn't want to ask for anything! Those who were willing to give up continued to plead.
"Go back!" Zhu Jingxuan suddenly felt that teasing this dead man was meaningless, and immediately waved his hand impatiently, signaling him to leave.
However, how could this eunuch who regarded Zhu Jingxuan as the last life-saving straw leave so easily.
At that moment, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made a major decision, and then looked around secretly, seeing that the four chamberlains "sensible" stayed away from each other, and immediately approached Zhu Jingxuan's side. He came closer and seduced Zhu Jingxuan in a bewitching tone: "Your Majesty, I have told you the truth. I came to your Majesty this time because I actually came to ask for your help... I am not lying. , I am a person close to the Queen Mother, and I know the information from the Queen Mother. If Your Majesty is willing to help this slave overcome this difficulty on the grounds of illness, I assure you that from now on, your Majesty will be placed next to the Queen Mother. No matter what happens to the Queen Mother, I will inform Your Majesty as soon as possible! I think...Your Majesty also wants to place such a person next to the Queen Mother, right?"
