The Grand Eunuch in charge of Changle Palace is a very down-to-earth person - since he got such a good money-making business from Zhu Jingxuan, if he doesn't do something for him, he always feels a little sorry for Zhu Jingxuan!
Thinking like this, the Grand Eunuch, the steward, couldn't help but glance at the servants standing beside Zhu Jingxuan, and suddenly his heart moved.
The money-making ideas that Zhu Jingxuan taught him before must be recorded in the books by the servants who were closely monitoring Zhu Jingxuan. In order to prevent them from leaking the information to the Liu family and causing setbacks in his money-making plan, it was necessary for him to first Knocking out these chamberlains would allow Zhu Jingxuan to temporarily get rid of the dilemma of being constantly monitored, which was equivalent to repaying him for coming up with this idea. It could be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"Your Majesty, please stay here for a while. I will come back later to talk to Your Majesty!" After saying these words to Zhu Jingxuan, the Grand Duke, the chief steward of Changle Palace, hurried back to Changle Palace.
However, the Grand Eunuch, who had just returned to Changle Palace, was hit by a tea cup thrown towards him before he could tell the Queen Mother about Zhu Jingxuan's money-making plan.
"The Queen Mother, please calm down! The Queen Mother, please calm down!" Seeing this, the Grand Eunuch, the steward, knelt down on the ground without asking the reason.
"Xiao Haizi, you are so brave!" The Queen Mother said with a bit of gnashing of teeth to the Grand Eunuch, "How dare you accept money from those traitors who alienate the Tian family's family ties?"
"The Queen Mother, please calm down! The Queen Mother, please calm down! This servant really doesn't know that he is such a vicious thief!" The Grand Duke in charge immediately covered his sleeves and cried, "He came to beg you at that time. He just said that he was using the power of the Queen Mother to help your Majesty. He said a few arrogant words in front of me, which frightened Your Majesty, so I wanted to go and apologize to Your Majesty to extinguish the anger of the Queen Mother for not waiting for His Majesty to see you... I really don’t know that he is such a traitor!"
"Ha..." The Queen Mother heard the words of the Grand Eunuch, and immediately sneered, "Do you dare to accept the money from the servants who dare to insult the Emperor?"
"Bang", "Bang", "Bang"...
Hearing this, the Grand Eunuch, the steward, immediately kowtowed to the ground. At the same time, he kept begging for mercy: "My Queen Mother, please forgive me. I will never dare to do it again! My Queen Mother, please forgive me." I will never dare to do that again..."
"Alright! Alright!" After all, it was the old man next to her. Seeing the pitiful appearance of the old eunuch, the Queen Mother couldn't help but stop him from kowtowing. When the Grand Eunuch, the steward, stopped kowtowing, at the same time After getting up from the ground, the Queen Mother sighed helplessly and continued, "I know, you all think that the little emperor is just a... But no matter what, at least in name, he is still doing something big. The emperor, since he is still an emperor in name, all of you slaves, please show me some respect. Otherwise, if I am reduced to the status of a little emperor in the future, will you also treat me the same way you treat the little emperor today? Where is I, the Queen Mother?"
"Plop!"
As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, the Grand Duke in charge fell to his knees in fear. At the same time, his head hit the ground heavily, making a series of "bang" and "bang" sounds.
"Empress Dowager, what are you talking about? This old slave's loyalty to you, the Empress Dowager, can be learned from heaven and earth. The Empress Dowager..."
Before the Grand Eunuch, the steward, could finish his words of loyalty, he was impatiently interrupted by the Queen Mother: "Okay! Okay! There is no need to say these good words, the Yi family is tired of hearing them!"
After a slight pause, the Queen Mother suddenly asked: "Have you sent the Emperor's gift out of Changle Palace? I think it took you longer to send the Emperor out this time than before, but what happened?"
Facing the Queen Mother's inquiry, the Grand Eunuch, the steward, had no reservations and told the Queen Mother the money-making plan that Zhu Jingxuan had mentioned before.
However, facing the expectant look of the Grand Eunuch, the Queen Mother showed little interest: "It's just personal money from some despicable people. They are greedy for petty profits. Wouldn't it ruin their reputation?"
"Empress Dowager, how can this be said to be a bad reputation? They paid the money, and we helped them to settle the matter after they suffered... Not only will they not resent us for getting their money, but maybe they will be grateful to us in their hearts! After all, , Life is not more important than money? This is a great merit of a living person's life!" The Grand Eunuch, the steward, was unwilling to give up and continued to persuade.
"Okay, don't mention this matter again in the future!" The Queen Mother frowned slightly and said, "How can I, the Queen Mother, do something to plunder the wealth of the young eunuch?"
After hearing this, the Grand Eunuch, the steward, suddenly raised his head after hesitating for a moment, then turned his head slightly in front of the Queen Mother, and motioned to the eunuchs and maids in Changle Palace with his eyes.
The queen mother naturally knew the meaning of the look in the eyes of the Grand Eunuch, but she just wanted to screen herself away from other people in Changle Palace, and then whisper something to herself that could not be heard by outsiders.
Even though the Queen Mother knows that the Grand Eunuch, the general manager, is probably still unwilling to give up the money-making operation of establishing a mutual aid association and collecting membership fees. Now she is retreating, just to persuade herself one last time, and the reason for persuading herself may also involve some sensitive topics... The Queen Mother was originally unwilling to waste time on such a trivial matter. However, when she came into contact with the pitiful look on the face of the Grand Eunuch, she finally softened her heart and immediately decided to give him a alone time to talk to her. opportunity, although the Queen Mother did not think that she would be persuaded by the Grand Duke in charge, that’s all!
Soon, under the order of the Queen Mother, only the Queen Mother and the Grand Eunuch were left in the entire Changle Palace.
Although there were only two people in Changle Palace at this time, the Grand Eunuch, who was still worried about the ears between the walls, got up from the ground after getting the Queen Mother's consent. When he came to the Queen Mother, he whispered to the Queen Mother in a low voice: "The Queen Mother Madam, now that you are the Queen Mother of Da Gan, all your food and clothing are paid for by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so you naturally despise this small amount of money. However, Queen Mother, have you ever considered that sooner or later, the world of Da Gan will return to... ...By then, you will be just the aunt of the new emperor. Can you still use the money of the new dynasty's internal affairs office as you like now? Queen Mother, if you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. You... It’s time to think about the future!”
After hearing the words of the Grand Eunuch, the Queen Mother could not help but stare...
