Chapter 406 Damn!

So apart from Yan Wei, does anyone else have selfish motives?

Bei Jingchu didn't believe it.

A little fool like Yanyu may think that slaves are mindless, do whatever they want and dare not resist.

But Bei Jingchu knew that as a human being, everyone has thoughts.

Even if you are suppressed by day-to-day discipline and brainwashing, you will be enlightened as long as there is an opportunity.

The secret guards followed them closely every day, never leaving their side, which was too dangerous.

After Bei Jingchu thought of it, he went to discuss it with the emperor.

In the palace, Bei Jingchu made an impolite request: "Father, if you dismiss the attendants this time, can you also withdraw the secret guards?"

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

The secret guards are the last line of defense for the emperor. With only two of them in the palace, if Bei Jingchu suddenly attacks and kills the emperor, the emperor will be left unprotected.

This is a very sensitive topic.

The emperor could punish a crown prince whose position was unstable and depose him.

Bei Heng thought about it for a moment and said naturally, "Okay."

He gestured with his hands and ordered, "Go out and wait."

Two figures jumped out from the darkness and walked out.

When Bei Jingchu saw them walking away, she said in a neither loud nor soft voice, "Aye, we are surrounded by layers of protection, and the secret guards are almost useless."

"Just in case, we can recruit talented people from all over the world."

"Using drugs to stimulate potential at the expense of vitality and life is simply too inhumane."

Bei Heng frowned and asked, "Are you pitying them?"

Bei Jingchu knew that Aye thought she was soft-hearted again, and said helplessly: "I am afraid that if I don't explode in silence, I will become abnormal in silence."

Bei Heng: “?”

Bei Jingchu counted on his fingers and analyzed: "Think about it."

"He was originally a good person, but he was drugged and forced to be trained as a secret guard."

"It was fine during the intensive training, everyone was the same."

"But we have to choose people, and the secret guards follow us around, and see the extravagance and decadence around us every day."

“It’s easy to get out of balance.”

"They are all our people. On one side are the princes and ministers, and on the other side are the secret guards who are hiding from the public."

"Can you really guarantee that they don't feel unfair?"

Bei Heng was stunned, but he neither agreed nor objected. He gestured to Bei Jingchu to continue.

Bei Jingchu advised: "It is said that what is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth. Moreover, they have also shortened their lifespan."

"If a master who can defeat a hundred enemies at once has evil thoughts, we won't have a chance to react."

"In the previous dynasty, the crippled eunuchs were able to control the government. The emperor at that time foolishly believed that the eunuchs were his trusted confidants and supported them to fight against the foreign relatives, but he was sidelined instead."

"Nothing has happened to the secret guard yet, but there is a high possibility that something might happen in the future."

Behen asked, "What do you think?"

Bei Jingchu lowered his eyes and replied, "Whether it's relatives and eunuchs, aristocratic families and poor families, or secret guards, they should all be checks and balances between two or even multiple forces."

"We can't just leave our backs to the Dark Guards."

"I suggest that we add a martial arts exam to the imperial examinations. If there are people who are very skilled but not good at military tactics, they would be very suitable to be the personal guards of the emperor."

"Those who trade their lifespan for potential can also be replaced."

Bei Heng can say that he listened to the advice, or he can say that he did not listen to the advice.

As long as your reasoning can convince him, he will be a person who listens to advice.

He did not immediately agree to Bei Jingchu, but only said, "I will consider it."

"Tomorrow is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and receiving foreign guests is the most important matter."

Bei Jingchu blinked her eyes and went out with satisfaction.

It’s great that Dad listened to my advice!

I was happy for only two seconds, and then I heard the voice of the dog tyrant behind me: "Write a detailed charter and submit it."

Bei Jingchu: “…”

Damn!

As she stepped out of the threshold, two secret guards who were standing far away saw her coming out and prepared to return to Ganlu Palace to continue protecting the emperor.

When a person comes over from the right, his breath and footsteps are a little heavier.

Bei Jingchu glanced at him from the side, it was Yan Bo.

Not to mention the secret guards, even Bei Jingchu herself would restrain her breath, except for the few days of her period when she was weak and could not restrain herself.

How could Yan Bo, as the leader of the secret guards, make such a mistake?

However, the slightly heavy footsteps only lasted for a moment, and the next moment everything returned to normal.

Yan Bo's face was tense, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

Bei Jingchu stopped him: "Uncle Yan, are you tired?"

Yan Bo paused and shook his head slowly.

"Returning to Your Highness, I was distracted for a moment."

"Really? If you are tired, you must tell me. After all, His Majesty's safety cannot be compromised."

"yes."

Bei Jingchu wanted to leave, but failed as she was stopped by Eunuch Jiang.

He smiled with wrinkles all over his face, and asked carefully: "Your Highness, Long Shou is working in the East Palace. Is he doing well for you?"

"If he makes you unhappy, you must tell me and I will teach him a lesson!"
