Chapter 369: Deception

h2> Ever since Fang Yishan saw the "old friend" he feared in the study, he had lost confidence in the safety of his family's house. It's not safe outside, it's not safe at home, how is he going to live this day? Let a stranger drive straight into the study, threaten the safety of the master, and then leave again, but no one noticed that something was wrong, what did the servants in the house eat?!

He urgently transferred several untrained and unfamiliar servant etiquette from Zhuangzi to the house as errand boys, and the study and back house were the hardest hit areas for replacement. This is the place where he spends most time at home, and he hopes that his home will never be as easy to be sneaked into as before. The first time, that person just ran to say a few words to him, took away a letter, and God knows if the other party will take his head away the next time he comes?

The spies that the emperor's secret agents had previously placed in Fang Yishan's study were very unlucky to be replaced and transferred to the stables as errands. It also meant that the emperor's side lost an important eye and ear. In the future, if Fang Yishan has contact with King Ying's dead soldiers, it will be difficult for them to get the news as soon as possible.

This is the reason why Gao Zhen is looking for the third master above. Third Master Fang could enter and leave the house of every Fang family member without hindrance, and he could also have an equal dialogue with Fang Yishan. At most, the little guy in the study can only peek at the letters, and if there is really a guest coming, he can't get close to the study except for pouring tea, but Fang Sanye can listen to the news from Fang Yishan. And Fang Sanye did not disappoint Gao Zhen, after constant visits and temptations, he is now a daily guest in Fang Yishan's study.

Fang Sanye tried hard to convince Fang Yishan that he suddenly changed his attitude because Mrs. Fang's mother and son were approaching the date of leaving Beijing, and many family affairs began to be transferred to him, which made him more and more panicked. He knew that with his current position in the family, it would be difficult to convince his clansmen. Even if he temporarily acts as the patriarch of the elder brother, it can easily be overlooked. If that really happens, in the future, when his brother Fang Chongshan returns to Beijing, he can't explain that he is still secondary, and his right to speak in the family is lost, which is the most unacceptable point for him. At this time, Fang Yishan was almost the person with the highest official position in the family except for Fang Chongshan, and he was eyeing the position of the patriarch, so he would definitely not let go of the good opportunity that Fang Chongshan was not in the capital and took the opportunity to seize power. It's just that he is a side branch after all, and he still has a long way to go if he wants to win the position of patriarch. With his current official position, I am afraid that it will be the end of fewer victories and more defeats.

Fang Sanye looked for Yishan above and took the initiative to hand out an olive branch. As long as he does not compete for the position of patriarch on the surface during the period when Fang Sanye is acting as the clan minister, and allows Fang Sanye to maintain the apparent dignity of the heirs, then Fang Sanye can guarantee that in the affairs of the clan, he will try to follow Fang Yishan's instructions as much as possible, and even the resources in the hands of the family can be biased towards Fang Yishan's family, including the influence of all the in-laws who have married the daughters of the Fang family. With this help, Mrs. Fang Si no longer has to work hard to tie up with a second lady Ma, just to fight for a possible recommendation channel for her daughter. There are also noblewomen among the women of the Fang family, who can directly bring the younger girls of their mother's family into and out of the court, just like the treatment that Fang Huizhu and Fang Renzhu once received.

In order to show his sincerity, Fang Sanye didn't know how to use to get an invitation to Mrs. Fang Sifu and Mrs. Fang Si's lotus tea party in June. You must know that Mrs. Shang Taifu is very decent in front of the Queen Mother and the Empress, and the participants in her tea party are also famous ladies in the capital, including the two Mrs. Jiang - the sister-in-law and brother-in-law of the current Queen Mother Jiang. It is said that the Queen Mother's aunt and sister-in-law have a very good relationship, if at the tea party, Miss Fang Si can get the favor of the two Mrs. Jiang, it is equivalent to getting the opportunity to rise to the top, which is much more reliable than the eldest princess of Linyi!

Mrs. Fang Si was overjoyed, and even the eldest daughter, Fang Er, complained that she had no share. Since she wants to marry the eldest son of the emperor, the eldest daughter is indeed too old, and the second daughter is barely qualified. As long as one of the daughters can successfully climb the golden branches and jade leaves, it is enough, they can't be too greedy. Mrs. Fang Si and Miss Fang Si happily prepared the outfits to be worn on the day of the tea party, and Fang Yishan finally believed in Fang Sanye's sincerity, and was much less wary of him, adding a little closer.

In fact, he was a little uneasy in his heart at the moment. He didn't know what those "old friends" would think when they saw his wife and daughter so keen to cling to the current royal family, but he couldn't resist the temptation of becoming a relative of the imperial family - why was Fang Sanye able to save his life? Didn't you rely on the connections of the Fang family? If he really became the father-in-law of the emperor's eldest son (he forgot that his daughter's goal was to be a side concubine), then when those "old friends" were exposed in the future, he should be able to save his life, right? Seeing that his identity is different from the past, the other party probably won't easily poison him, so as not to attract the court's retaliation?

Fang Yishan was under heavy pressure in his heart, and Fang Sanye behaved so sincerely, as if he had restored his previous close relationship with him, and even in private, he did not shy away from talking about his dissatisfaction with the current situation, his complaints about the current royal family, and his ambition and **...... Fang Yishan finally couldn't help it, and revealed to Fang Sanye his contact with the leader of the dead soldiers.

Fang Sanye looked taken aback, but quickly calmed down and began to analyze Fang Yishan. With the ability of the remnants of the dead man's strength, it is almost an impossible task to put King Ying's son Gao Ju on the throne. Even if the three emperors and fathers are dead, even the father and son of King Guangping are dead, there is also the King of Jinyang, which is the son and son of the first emperor, and there are also some clans that are far away, such as the Fenyang Mansion that stayed in Jiading, etc. As the son of the rebel king, it is too difficult for Gao Ju to overturn the case. There are also no supporters in the DPRK and China. Those who supported King Ying in the past were liquidated, and it was impossible for those who opposed King Ying to give him a chance to turn over, even those courtiers who secretly supported King Ying and had not yet been discovered by Jinshang were not as familiar with Gao Ju as his half-brother. In addition, the dead soldiers only have a bunch of outlaws, at most they have some wealth in their hands, no soldiers, no horses and no food, if they want to become a climate, it is better to expect them to fly away, in a place where no one knows them, relying on the remaining wealth to be a free and easy rich man. But whether the dead soldiers wanted to fly to the fire or fly away, it would be of little benefit to Fang Yishan.

Fang Yishan only felt that his words had reached his heart: "Why don't I understand this? But I didn't dare to say it to those people, for fear that if I did, they would take my life in a fit of rage. But if I continue to do what they say, I am afraid that in the future, the matter will be exposed, and the court will know that it will also be a dead end, and it will even cause disaster to his wife and children and affect the family. After a pause, he emphasized the last sentence again, "Third brother, although they didn't find you, but you and I are of the same clan, and under the nest, there are eggs?" You don't have to ignore me, I've worked with those people before, so help me think of ideas, right? How do you get rid of them? ”

Fang Sanye pretended to be silent for a while, and then he sighed and said, "Unless there is a way to uproot them at once, it's better not to offend them." They are all outlaws, but you and I have families and rooms, and we can't go head-to-head with them. Since he has asked you to do things several times, but no one has noticed, you can only continue to hold on. It is better not to offend them, but also to clear yourself so that no one will take you by the hand. Didn't they just want to kidnap King Ying's son? That's a matter for both of them, so let them discuss it themselves! You find an excuse to pretend to be sick and try your best to prevaricate, and it has nothing to do with you when the court investigates it afterwards. If they are to trouble you again, come to me for counsel. ”

Fang Yishan immediately took his words as the truth: "You are reasonable, I think so too." Now I have no choice but to do so. If they come again, I will look for you. ”

So when the leader of the dead touched the study of Yishan above again, and talked with him like this for half the night, he found Fang Sanye early the next morning, before dawn, and told him the matter in detail, his face was full of fear: "What should I do?" They said that the reason why the prince refused to leave was because the princess stopped him. The princess was disgusted by the prince before, and they didn't regard her as a serious housewife. Now that the princess has hindered their great cause, they plan to get rid of the princess so that they can take the prince in their hands, so they handed me a bottle of poison and ordered me to pass the medicine to Huang Gonggong......"

Fang Sanye's face changed slightly, and he quickly calmed down again: "Don't panic first, don't say that the prince has refused to see you, can you still hand the poison to Huang Gonggong, even if it is handed over, how can Huang Gonggong risk poisoning the main mother?" Besides, if the princess is dead, the prince may not change his mind? ”

"That's why they want me to lie to the world." Fang Yishan touched his face, his face was as pale as paper, "They asked me to tell the prince that they took him out, not to rebel, but to keep the only remaining bloodline of the prince." They still have some belongings in their hands, and they plan to protect the prince from Lingnan. They had a property over there, and no one knew them around. When the world passes, he can live a free life like an ordinary rich child, and he doesn't have to continue to be trapped in Yingtai to be angry. If the prince is worried that the princess will not agree, he can give the princess fake death medicine. If a person takes that medicine, it will be as if he is dead, which is enough to deceive everyone in the hospital. When the time comes, taking the opportunity of the funeral, the prince will fight to help the spirit out of the city, and they will rescue him on the way, and take the princess's coffin by the way. When he got to a safe place, he gave the princess an antidote. At that time, the wood has been completed, and the princess can only admit it for the sake of her son. Their mother and son went to Lingnan together, which also saved them from worrying in the future. ”

Fang Sanye raised his eyebrows: "The poison is real, right?" ”

"Poison is real." Fang Yishan said, "As long as the prince is drugged by the princess, the rest of the matter will not be up to him." He took a deep breath: "Shizi is actually very easy to deceive, I think he is very likely to be fooled, but ...... Do I really want to do that? I really don't understand what's going on in those people's minds. In this way, even if he saved the son, wouldn't he hate them for killing his mother? How can they obediently obey their commands? If it's just to use him as a cover, then it's not like there is no other way to think of it, why make such a big deal and steal people out of the imperial city? ”

Fang Sanye couldn't figure it out, so he sorted out the information as soon as possible, and handed over the news under the pretext of his little niece sending a book to Zhao Xiu, the daughter of the Marquis of Jiannan.

Gao Zhen got the information from Zhao Xiu and immediately entered the palace. After reporting all the information to the emperor, he said, "How can this group of outlaws care about the life and death of King Ying's wife and children? I think they are doing everything possible to take Gao Ju away, and there must be other schemes! ”

The Emperor narrowed his eyes, and suddenly remembered a rumor.
