Chapter 404 Seducing the Prince
Bei Jingchu looked at the death list of exiled prisoners compiled by Haoyue and wondered, "The death rate of exiled prisoners in recent years is higher than in the past."
Haoyue replied: "Except for the time when His Majesty first ascended the throne, before His Majesty confronted the noble families, not many people were exiled."
"It is not uncommon for the guards to be unable to keep up with the sudden increase in the number of people."
Bei Jing initially had some doubts, but this explanation was reasonable.
There were many abnormal things after the reform, and she didn't have the energy to investigate everything, so she put this matter aside like the others.
The aristocratic clan cannot be destroyed. If one is destroyed, the next great clan will emerge.
Bei Jingchu only wanted to suppress their arrogance and avoid the chaos of the previous dynasty where the aristocratic families controlled the court and even controlled the emperor.
As the audience with all nations was approaching, she decided to quit while she was ahead.
There was no major movement between the two sides, and they tacitly united in dealing with foreign affairs, giving other countries the impression that Vietnam was very united.
At most, they would do some harmless things behind the scenes.
For example, now, at the Chang family's family dinner, they are holding the strong liquor distilled from Zhou Huan wine and chatting while drinking.
"The crown prince's position is already secure. Even if we put all our efforts into it, we will not be able to dethrone her."
"I'd rather hope that my dream comes true tonight than that she makes a mistake."
One person suggested, "Why not induce her to make a mistake?"
"Everyone has weaknesses, and when you have weaknesses you are prone to temptation."
"She's almost sixteen, isn't she participating in a beauty pageant? Let's send a few people to try to seduce her."
"It's just like Daji to Emperor Xin, Xi Shi to King Fu Chai, eating is human nature, isn't it confusing?"
The two drunkards chatted with each other and even chose the candidates.
"The top girl in that brothel looked so frail and charming, and she was lovable."
"Even a man like me can't help but be moved. If she's a woman, I've already kept her."
"When the time comes, we will find the place where Bei Jing must pass when she leaves the palace, let her save the hero with her beauty, and then do this and that, and then do that and that."
"If one doesn't work, send a few more."
He waved his hand and said confidently: "Anyway, there is always one who can do it!"
The drunkard asked in a daze, "What if she doesn't like men?"
The drunk's brain froze for a moment, then he clapped his hands and said, "Give women away too!"
The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground because of clapping.
The two of them, smiling and drunk, hit it off immediately.
After finishing his work and going home to prepare for dinner, Chang Tingyi was speechless by the enjoyment of his two drunken brothers.
"No, she is very picky. She only likes men who are talented, handsome and hold important positions."
"What kind of young prostitute are you talking about? There is no way he can get into the prince's bed."
"And the one she has her eyes on has already risen to the position of an important official. It is impossible for him to become our pawn."
The drunk turned around and looked at his brother, confused and said: "...No, why do you know this?"
Before Chang Tingyi could open his mouth to explain, his drunken brother gave him a thumbs up: "You are worthy of being my powerful brother! Brother is the best, hehehehe~"
Chang Tingyi: ...
Fortunately, drunks have their own logic.
But he was too quick to reassure.
Drunkard No. 2 glanced at his brother who had not yet changed out of his official robes.
At that time, there was no such thing as uniform temptation, but his aesthetic sense could tell that his brother's appearance was rare and handsome.
The drunkard said wildly: "Brother, how about you go and seduce her?"
