Chapter 806 Seize 2

Fang Renshu was flattered by his lord's favor.

She could see that the prince was suspicious by nature, and now, for Xier, he was willing to give power and seal and easily hand over his life to a foreign official.

His attitude towards Xier was not at all a temporary interest, something he would just play with for the fun of it.

Previously, she had misunderstood the prince.

He is indeed a good man.

Fang Renshu politely declined the offer, returned the jade and gold seals, and appreciated the prince's kindness.

According to the plan, Chi You, He Jingche, and her teamed up to seize the governor's office and return to Emperor Zhiyan's service.

Gu Mengzhen soon received the news of the failure and was shocked.

"what?"

"The governor's platform has fallen into the hands of King Dijin?!"

He quickly summoned all his ministers to discuss important matters.

The official business of the Eight Palaces could not be delayed, so he specifically instructed that only one beloved minister from each place needed to enter the palace.

Zhong Jian was concerned about important matters and was the first to make suggestions.

"The governor's station was infiltrated with enemy forces, so it fell into enemy hands."

"Under the current circumstances, a firm defense is enough to win. Your Majesty, please focus on defense and don't get entangled. Attacking will not be a good idea."

Gu Mengzhen slammed the table.

"Since you knew that the governor's station was mixed with enemy informants, why did you allow it to develop without stopping it?!"

Zhong Jian looked solemn and unhappy, with a stern look in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, please look carefully. I only knew the truth after the incident."

"Master He and Master Chi used the tricks of the Fang clan to hide their identities and act decisively when the time came to eliminate our people. It is impossible to defend against them."

Since he wouldn't leave no matter how he was scolded, Gu Mengzhen vented his anger.

"You once held the position of Grand Minister, but your strategy is not as good as that of a declining Fang clan!"

"I have long said that you are arrogant and unworthy of your reputation, and it is indeed true!"

Zhong Jian understood that his estrangement was due to the enemy's conspiracy and not his own will, so he endured it, hoping that one day "Lord Gu" would come to his senses.

"Your Majesty is angry, and I accept it without complaint, but please face the situation squarely and handle things calmly."

He had foresight and accurately anticipated the enemy's next move and made recommendations accordingly.

"The governor's office is responsible for the examinations at all levels in various places, selecting officials for the court, and also has the responsibilities of marriage, divorce, divorce, and household registration, etc. It is very important."

"In my humble opinion, the Fang clan, in order to assist Emperor Jin and Prince Jin in gaining a foothold in the government, first seized the governor's office to gain the power to select officials. After their greed was exposed, they had to consider their own safety and set up defenses in their mansions to prevent us from harming them."

Gao Nan was accustomed to Zhong Jian's talents and strategies, so he was not surprised and spoke in an inciting manner at a moderate pace.

"What does Lord Zhong mean by this? Are you hinting that there are enemy elements in the Tongshitai and Duhutai?"

Leng Xie was immediately tricked and the target was directly pointed at Zhong Jian.

"Master Zhong, why are you targeting me? Isn't this trying to sow discord?"

"I see, you are the enemy, right?"

Looking at their reactions, Zhong Jiancha knew that the Supervisory Office was about to change, so he remained calm and responded normally.

"Master Leng, Master Gao, please be patient."

"You two are loyal, there is no doubt about that. We should not confront each other."

"I am just worried about the situation in the court. I beg Your Majesty to be cautious and not give the enemy any chance to take advantage of you."

Leng Xie only felt that Zhong Jian had bad intentions, so he glared at him with hatred.

"Whether there is any discrepancy between the Tongshitai and the Supervisory Tai, His Majesty will make a clear decision. Why do you need to say anything?"

Gao Nan continued to incite.

"If I remember correctly, it was Lord Zhong who suggested the fall of the Governor's Terrace, right?"

Leng Xie fell into the trap completely and joined in.

"There has been a change in the governor's office. Is it because Lords Chi and He have changed their minds, or is it because you are ambitious? The truth is still unknown."

"What? Just because you said that it was a trick of the Fang clan and that both of them were informants, you can conclude that this plan failed and you are not at fault at all?"

"Lord Zhong advised the emperor to be cautious, but he himself was very reckless."

Gao Nan faced Gu Mengzhen with a loyal look.

"If what Lord Zhong said today were to reach the ears of the colleagues in the Copper Affairs Office and the Supervisory Office, it would surely shake people's hearts. After that, everyone in the two offices would panic and change. Lord Zhong could publicize it, saying that he had foresight and would take the credit and wipe out the bad deeds."

"By analogy, Lord Zhong can also deceive the rest of our people at will, under the pretext of asking the emperor to be more careful."

"In this case, Lord Zhong's daily admonitions would alienate us and make us all turn to King Dijin, wouldn't it?"

"I pray that the emperor will understand this person. We must be on guard against him."

Cold, humorous and impartial.

"Wei Chen seconded the proposal."

The other ministers said in unison.

"Wei Chen seconded the proposal."

If this is the case, Gu Mengzhen will not accept Zhong Jian's good advice, resulting in the Supervisory Office falling into Yan Yu's hands half a year later.

This time, Gu Mengzhen came to his senses and urgently summoned Zhong Jian and Zhong Hua to ask for good advice. He went all out to prevent the mutiny at the Supervisory Office.

The Supervisory Office was originally a fake surrender. No matter how much they do, it will be of no avail.

Finally, with no other options, Gu Mengzhen stopped struggling and gave up the Supervisory Post. He accepted Zhong Jian's advice and took advantage of the situation by arranging an informant to lurk beside Gao Nan.

Gao Nan gladly accepted it and addressed her as a concubine's daughter, Gao Yihe.

After obtaining the Supervisory Office, Fang Renshu deployed strict defenses to ensure the prince's safety; Yan Yu immediately ordered all the officials in the Supervisory Office to find the whereabouts of the little sister. Those who found clues would be rewarded heavily, and those who found the little sister would be commended and given a title.

Not wanting the prince to be treated as a freak and damage the dignity of Lord Yan, Fang Renshu was particularly careful in his words and actions, and kept the prince's background and identity secret meticulously.

Time flies and Yan Yu is already one year old.

The Fang clan has made careful arrangements and is ready for the entire clan to go to the cause.

Fang Renshu repeatedly reminded her husband of every detail of the plan and left a message for him not to forget.

The couple said goodbye reluctantly, and spent days together in tears, unable to bear to part.

The plan was about to be implemented, and Fang Renshu went alone to ask for a meeting with his aunt.

"Over the past year, I have seen that the prince's feelings for Xi'er are as solid as gold."

"So, I wonder if we can take Xi'er back and train her according to the original plan to become one of the prince's assistants?"

Fang Lingxiang has kind eyes and a benevolent look.

"Shu'er thought that the prince's deep love for Xi'er was enough to dispel his doubts, and didn't he think about our plan to conquer the world?"

Fang Renshu was unsure.

"I... am not sure."

Fang Lingxiang's tone of voice is as gentle as spring breeze and rain.

"Now, as long as we follow the plan step by step, Xier will be able to accomplish it after a few lifetimes of hard work."

"But if we give up halfway, and the prince becomes suspicious someday, how will we deal with it?"

Fang Renshu felt helpless and tears flowed down his face.

"But aunt, my husband and I have been married for more than ten years before we got such a beloved daughter. I originally wanted to raise her and pamper her, but who knew that I would have to send her to Ning Mansion to suffer."

"I love her so much that I can't bear to let her go."

Fang Lingxiang sighed with melancholy.

"Descendants of the Fang clan and relatives of the Fang family have always been like this since ancient times."

"I hope Xi'er, in your next life, you will be lucky enough not to be reborn in the Fang clan."

Seeing her niece crying, she felt heartbroken.

"I still have time to devise a plan, hide it from everyone, and protect you."

Fang Renshu first thanked him, but then refused firmly.

"Thank you for your concern, aunt. I am overjoyed."

"I have no intention of living in disgrace, nor am I ungrateful. I swear to live and die with my entire clan, and I will never give up."

Fang Lingxiang felt deeply relieved to know that she was sensible.

"Well, good boy."
