Chapter 1060 How to crack it
Ning Yunxi finished his plan, and Yan Yu announced to the world that Yan Danqing was still alive, and Gao Furong died on his behalf.
The whole world was shocked, happy that the prince had returned to the capital, and weeping for the sacrifice of King Hansheng.
Fang Zhixuan took the opportunity to send a message to inform Xu Mingqian to return to Beijing and to collect evidence to convince Gu Mengzhen that Xu Mingqian was loyal to Yan Yu.
Zhuang Xianhui arrived at Si Shaoju.
"Please be blessed, father."
"I heard about your brilliant plan, father, and I came to thank you."
Fang Zhixuanxu Fu.
"I will give you a seat if I am flat."
"What a coincidence! I just sent someone to summon you and your sister, and you came over."
Zhuang Xianhui sat down.
"What do you want, father?"
Fang Zhixuan replied.
"I'll tell your two brothers when they arrive."
"Have your refreshments and wait a moment."
Zhuang Xianhui responded.
"Yes."
Xiaoyaoju was close by, so Zhuang Rui arrived first. Seeing that there were no outsiders, he simply greeted everyone and took a seat.
Afterwards, Zhuang Wei rushed over, bowed politely, and with his father's permission, he took a seat respectfully.
Fang Zhixuan narrated solemnly.
"The Zhuang Mansion's defensive formation was probably designed by Mr. Zhou. Even if he had some reservations, it would be extremely difficult for me to decipher it."
"One day, I was passing by the courtyard and happened to see a loophole. That's when I realized how to break through my house's defenses. I hadn't used it because I was afraid of alerting the enemy."
"Now, the time has come to put this plan to use. Therefore, I have summoned you to come here and tell you how to break it."
He copied the plan three times in advance and distributed them to his three beloved sons in order of age.
"It's written in black and white, giving us ammunition to criticize. Quickly write down the plan and throw it into the stove immediately."
The three brothers and sisters read it carefully, memorized it deeply, and then threw it away, letting it turn to ashes.
Zhuang Xianhui asked a question.
"Father, do you think the opportunity has arrived for our family to escape the clutches of the devil and return to Emperor Yan?"
Fang Zhixuan replied.
"The opportunity has not yet arrived."
"I just want you to familiarize yourself with the cracking method first, so that you won't be in a rush when the time comes."
His eyes were as deep as a pool.
"If my plan fails, the Emperor will surely become suspicious and will come to summon me to the palace from time to time, using the excuse of facilitating his plan and keeping me with him."
Zhuang Wei realized the danger and asked questions quickly.
"Excuse me, father, is there any plan to escape from the palace?"
Fang Zhixuan was solemn and meticulous.
"The palace's defenses were probably designed by Mr. Zhou. Normally, the Emperor doesn't use them much, so I have no way of trying to break them. Now, if the Emperor activates them all, I won't be able to escape in a short time."
Zhuang Wei thought for a moment and continued asking questions.
"I have returned and requested that King Jin of the Imperial Court send someone to the secret passage house at Tongshitai to fetch Mr. Zhou and ask him to personally decipher the secret."
"Can you make it?"
Fang Zhixuan sat upright with a dignified demeanor.
"do not know."
"It depends on luck."
Zhuang Wei was worried, and his hands involuntarily clenched into fists in his sleeves.
"Mr. Zhou is a master of strategy. With him controlling the situation, I think we should be able to make it in time."
Fang Zhixuan's thoughts are clear and his expressions are rigorous and rigorous.
"The secret passageway to Tongshitai is isolated from all information. The emperor's men are merely guarding it. They don't go inside to talk to Mr. Zhou, so he has no way of knowing the situation."
"In this critical moment, if he protects himself alone, everyone in the mansion will inevitably be killed. Mr. Zhou will not abandon himself alone and will definitely wait for King Dijin to rescue him."
"With so many people involved and so many things happening, it's easy for things to go wrong. It's hard to calculate the right time to rescue me from the palace."
He was upright and strict and gave a warning.
"Protecting Emperor Jin is the most important thing. Don't bother others and distract yourself from me. If the enemy takes advantage of you, the gain will be more than the loss."
"This time when I entered the palace, I was ready to sacrifice my life. I didn't expect to come out alive."
"Don't be distracted by me. Remember to protect your family, especially my wife. She might be thinking of committing suicide for love. You must keep an eye on her and don't let her do anything stupid."
Zhuang Wei was filled with anguish, hating himself for not being able to save his father.
"My child obeys."
Zhuang Rui felt reluctant and couldn't help but give some advice.
"Entering the palace means a life of death. Why would father invite such suffering? Why not escape with us?"
Fang Zhixuan suddenly shouted.
"What do you know? Ande talking nonsense?"
"While Prince Di Jin is researching and developing pharmaceuticals, the Emperor cannot be without our informants."
"If I don't go, am I going to let Doctor Lin take the risk?"
"Rui'er, I often teach you that you must be responsible. Have you listened and taken it to heart?"
Zhuang Rui asked angrily.
"Why can't the emperor lack our informants?"
Fang Zhixuan unravels the mystery and analyzes it in detail.
"With the Crown Prince's return to the capital, the Emperor feels himself in great danger. His suspicions grow, and he may murder innocent people at any moment. I will never leave our people in the enemy camp unattended."
"I have already used a trick to force Lord Xu to escape from the enemy. The Sixth Princess is determined to marry Prince Di Jin, and I must save her family as well."
“This is one of them.”
"My plan was designed to counter the people of Beizhaotai. If it failed, the emperor would understand. At most, he would have doubts, but he wouldn't conclude that I am following Prince Dijin, let alone kill me immediately."
"Then I will stay by his side and use my friendship to control the government, prevent unrest, and avoid chaos."
“This is the second one.”
“Third, it’s crucial.”
"The Crown Prince has ordered the Emperor to abdicate and crown Emperor Yan ascension to the throne. From the perspective of the world, the Emperor is a meritorious official and deserves to be rewarded."
"He used all means possible, hurting people's lives and committing unforgivable crimes. As a result, he may have been an emperor during his lifetime and posthumously honored as an emperor."
He sneered.
"Ah."
"If this is the final outcome, how can I face the innocent people who died? After living for a hundred years, how can I explain this to my people? How can I face Emperor Mu and Empress Zhenyu?"
Zhuang Rui was worried and anxious.
"Why must I die?"
"Why couldn't Father simply submit a memorial to the Emperor, requesting that Emperor Yan re-investigate the injustice done to the Fang clan, as well as the cases of other loyal officials and good citizens?"
Fang Zhixuan looked straight ahead, his expression as stern as ice.
"It's not that things can't be simpler, it's that you think too simply."
"Emperor Yan ascended the throne without warning. He investigated the past affairs of the Fang clan and claimed that Gu Mengzhen was the mastermind. Furthermore, he accused him of various crimes. To outsiders, this was like catching the rabbit and then cooking the dog, using the barbarians to get rid of the meritorious officials!"
"With my death, my dormant plan will naturally end. Master Yan will take this opportunity to reveal my true identity."
"Everyone saw this. Yu's decree was drawn up, enthroning the emperor. Prince Di Jin prepared medicine with good intentions to cure his brother's old illness. We did nothing to harm him, and instead treated him kindly. Yet, the emperor acted ruthlessly, his guilt evident and his motives clear. As a result, everyone saw his true colors and suspected that the emperor might be harming others besides me. They also suspected that the old grudges of the Fang family might be related to the emperor."
"With so much discussion throughout the country, Lord Yan now has legitimate reason to re-investigate the case and prove that the Emperor has murdered the Fang clan members, as well as a number of loyal officials and good citizens, without any justification. His crimes are unforgivable."
"At that time, the Crown Prince would not need to order him to abdicate. He could simply order the officials of the Guardian Office to storm the palace and capture the criminal."
"With Mr. Zhou's plan, the palace's defenses can be breached in an instant."
"The land and the world will return to Emperor Yan."
"Gu Mengzhen died in disgrace."
"Only in this way can my hard work in hiding in the enemy camp and my family's exhaustive efforts in planning this great plan be justified."
