Chapter 528: Crossing the Bottom Line

After leaving Emperor Jingfeng's bedroom, Li Jinche had irrepressible excitement on his face, and as soon as he returned to King Wu's mansion, he couldn't wait to return to Fang Zi: "I didn't expect the plan to go so smoothly, it seems that this time the prince is really going to be a heel, and our great cause will be accomplished!"

Fang Zigui subconsciously glanced outside the house, and saw that there was no one on all sides, so he was relieved: "Although this move is dangerous, it is fortunately useful, and it has successfully aroused His Majesty's suspicion of the crown prince. However, we can't let our guard down yet, we must know that Gu Yunji has not been imprisoned, as long as he is there, the East Palace will have a chance to turn over."

"We still have to watch him during this time, and if he makes any moves, we can respond in time."

As soon as he thought of the prince being imprisoned, Li Jinche's chest was full of joy, and he let out a fierce breath. However, when he thought of yesterday's situation, he couldn't help but be afraid: "But then again, yesterday was really dangerous, if we deviate one step, we will fall into the abyss."

"Beasts are beasts after all, so the animal tamer in southern Xinjiang blew his tiger into the sky, saying how to be obedient, so that it did not dare to go east and west, and the result? Yesterday, as soon as the tiger came out, he went crazy, and rushed directly to his father, if it weren't for Gu Yunji hitting the beast's eye, I was afraid that my father would have died in Huangquan."

"You and I only intended to scare my father so that he could be suspicious of the prince, but I didn't want to take his life. If the father and emperor really have three longs and two shorts, under the turbulence of the court, how can the ministers have the heart to investigate the culprit of the tiger's harm, they will definitely directly embrace Li Jinze to the throne."

Speaking of this, Li Jinche felt a burst of pride in his heart: "But now that this is right, my father is so frightened that he is seriously ill, so it is impossible to expose this matter lightly. When my father is angry, the procedures for hearing cases will not be so compliant, and we will have many opportunities to do things."

Fang Zigui nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes, now is the perfect opportunity. Your Majesty is seriously ill and ignores the government, and almost all the backbone of the prince's party have been imprisoned, so we can take the opportunity to develop our power and install people in the court."

Saying that, Fang Zigui did not forget to tell Li Jinche: "Of course, Your Highness will go to Your Majesty more often to serve the sick during this time, although Your Majesty is seriously ill, but his brain is not confused, and after a long time, he will naturally remember your filial piety, which will be more beneficial to us in the future."

Li Jinche responded: "Don't worry, sir, I know everything."

……

The battle for the heir has progressed to this point, and the balance of power has finally tilted in favor of Li Jinche's side. After coming out of King Wu's mansion, Fang Zigui was in a rare good mood and went straight back to Fang's mansion, but as soon as he entered the house, he saw Fang Shu sitting upright in the hall, and he was obviously waiting for him.

The moment he saw Fang Shu, the smile on the corner of Fang Zigui's mouth disappeared, and he said in a cold voice: "Father is so excited today, he is finally willing to come out of the study and sit outside."

After a perfunctory sentence casually, Fang Zigui didn't wait for Fang Zigui to respond, and was ready to turn around and leave.

"Stop."

Fang Shu stopped him, "Come back, I have something to say to you."

Fang Zigui paused, and his tone was impatient: "If my father wants to persuade me to give up helping King Wu to win the heir, there is no need to say it. You don't know how many times you've said that, my ears are calloused, and I'm still the same answer - it's my own business, you don't care."

Looking at his indifferent son, Fang Shu felt a wave of weakness in his heart.

Outsiders think that he only has such a son as Fang Zigui, and the father and son depend on each other, and they must have a good relationship, but only Fang Shu himself knows how tense the relationship between him and Fang Zigui is.

One of them is the head of the household department, and he is the first assistant of the cabinet; One is the right deputy imperial envoy of the Imperial Procuratorate, the backbone of the Wu Wang Party, the father and son are both officials in the court, but the situation of mutual dependence and support of ordinary people has not appeared, but it is like a stranger, and there is almost no communication.

Fang Shu did not agree with the seizure of the heir, let alone the support of Li Jinche, the king of Wu, but it was a pity that Fang Zigui never listened to his advice, and the two have been deadlocked on this issue, and the relationship has become more and more estranged.

Fang Shu said in a deep voice: "I always say that, don't help King Wu to think about things that don't belong to him in the first place, inherit from the elders, and it's right. If you continue like this, you will only harm him, and you will harm yourself."

Fang Zigui sneered: "What is Xiao Xiang

Something that doesn't belong to him? God is unfair, the sons of the same father are inherently different, but they are unwilling to be arranged by fate and want to fight as hard as they can, which can also be called 'Xiao Xiang?'

"If my father can't get used to what I'm doing, he can close his eyes and put his hands away. No matter what kind of storm I stir up in the court, it won't get in your way anyway."

Fang Shu took a deep breath: "In the past, I could not care, whether you supported King Wu or the crown prince, as long as the battle for the heir does not cross the bottom line, even if you lose in the future, it is a big deal to dismiss the official and remove the official, and you can still get out of the way."

"But now that you're going too far, I can't stop sitting idly by."

As he spoke, Fang Shu raised his deep eyes and looked at Fang Zigui: "I'll just ask you one thing - did you do the thing that the hunting ground tiger hurt people?"

Fang Zigui's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then he returned to normal, and sneered: "The incident happened in the royal hunting ground on the outskirts of Beijing, and the tiger escaped from the forest in the north.

Fang Shu looked away, and his voice was dull: "Don't skip the topic for me, Zhizi Mo Ruo's father, I think I still know two points about you." It's just you and me in the room at the moment, and I don't think you have any need to lie."

Fang Zigui lazily lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, his tone was a little fearless: "How did I do it? What if I didn't do it? Is it possible that my father will kill his relatives in righteousness and sue me to His Majesty?"

Fang Shu closed his eyes, and the familiar feeling of powerlessness came back to him.

He didn't understand, how could he raise such a son, thinking that he was innocent and upright, and the scenery was like the moon? Was his education really such a failure?

Fang Shu's age is slightly younger than Xu Chengyu, and he has reached the age of Zhishi earlier, but Emperor Jingfeng has always refused to let go, so he has stayed in the court until today. At this moment, his figure was slumped, as if he had suddenly aged ten years, and said bitterly:

"A gentleman behaves openly, even if he fights, he should be upright. In order to make King Wu gain power, you actually let the tiger attack Your Majesty and blame the crown prince, you ask yourself, what you are doing now is worthy of the sage books you have read all these years?"

"It's dangerous, you've crossed the bottom line, and you've lost everything if you accidentally do...... I advise you to stop now, and there will be a decent ending in the future."
