Chapter 412 No evidence
Bei Jingchu:?
Why are you ordering her here?
"Since you know that the promise is unreliable, but you still want to make it, I don't think that Minister Chang is someone who likes to do business at a loss."
Chang Tingyi smiled brightly, "I believe in your Highness's character."
"For a person...?"
Bei Jingchu was even more confused. There were actually people who believed in her character.
She never considered herself a good person.
Therefore, she would not remind him of this bargain that was delivered to her doorstep.
She likes the feeling of having the initiative in her own hands.
Chang Tingyi handed over a booklet with both hands. Bei Jingchu took it and tried her best to restrain herself from crushing it.
He looked up and thanked you: "Today I owe you a favor, I will repay you another day."
Chang Tingyi straightened his sleeves.
"Although I am from an aristocratic family, I also know the principle of putting the country first and family second."
"Mrs. Changyan is a leader in mechanical engineering. She is far more useful to Dayue if she is alive than if she is dead."
Bei Jingchu admitted that she had prejudices against people from aristocratic families. After all, they were rival families and the main force preventing her from becoming the crown prince.
He couldn't help but sigh, "The Minister of State is a man of high sense and integrity. Even if he was born in a wealthy family, he doesn't have to go along with them."
"After all, among the noble families, there are also people who are smart and willing to join me."
Bei Jingchu raised his cup, drinking tea instead of wine, and asked, "Would you please do me a favor and make friends with me?"
It’s just that the seven major families of the Five Surnames and Seven Aristocrats are missing.
Some small aristocratic families sided with the Eastern Palace, and some children from poor families were taken in by the aristocratic families and became their running dogs.
All conflicts are based not only on background but more on interests.
Bei Jingchu tried to win over the new generation leader of the Chang family. If one of the Qiwang families switched sides, she could imagine how exciting the expressions of the other families would be.
The amplitude of Chang Tingyi's smile did not change, and he remained gentle and elegant.
"It is obvious that Your Highness is the cunning one. Talking to you is full of traps."
"How can I be worthy of being friends with Your Highness?"
"If the elders in the clan knew about this, they would probably reprimand me for being disrespectful."
Bei Jingchu understood that it was not that he was unwilling.
Chang Tingyi cannot have full authority at home. If he defected to the Eastern Palace, his status in the Chang family would plummet.
The Chang family needs to choose someone to be the new head of the family. If the new head of the family does not meet their expectations, he will be abandoned.
Just like what Bei Jingchu did had to conform to the emperor's wishes, if he failed to do so, he would become the deposed crown prince.
It's really tiring to communicate with these people one by one, fortunately she is smart.
Bei Jingchu praised herself generously.
Chang Tingyi did not say anything final, but gave a hint: "In fact, after suffering so many losses, the Chang family is not united."
"It's just that the noble families have been prosperous for too long, and they still can't accept being in decline and weakened."
"Really? You've read so many books, but why don't you understand the principle of prosperity and decline?"
Chang Tingyi ordered someone to bring a chess set. Bei Jingchu waved her hand and said, "The situation is unstable, and I don't have much free time recently. I'll play chess with you another day."
Chang Tingyi threw the picked up chess piece back into the chess basket.
"What a throwaway woman."
Bei Jingchu:......
This is a weird statement, as if it's saying that she's a scumbag who refuses to admit her mistake?
They didn't do anything.
The mean person in Bei Jingchu's heart was scratching her head, thinking that maybe she was overthinking it, which made people feel uneasy.
Having obtained what she wanted, and even something else, Bei Jingchu simply stood up and said goodbye, just as the man had described, using it and throwing it away after use.
Not long after, the Dali Temple found out that the design drawings of the musket were first passed down from the Ministry of Works.
Although a craftsman who Changyan had not let go also leaked the news, there was not enough time to produce enough guns.
Bei Jingchu dismissed her from her post for negligence and demoted her to a commoner.
However, because she was involved in too many secrets, she could not be released and had to return to the palace to serve as a personal maid.
The Minister of Works was sent to the Dali Temple to continue investigating the case and try to uncover the culprit behind it.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it was done by the aristocratic family. As long as they can find evidence, they can start another wave of purges. Bei Jingchu and his men are almost becoming skilled workers.
Since the noble family had the guts to carry out the assassination at the banquet, they did a thorough job of cleaning up the mess and no one was caught.
People from the Dali Temple came to ask what to do. Bei Jingchu suppressed her anger and sneered.
"If there is no evidence, then make up evidence."
