Chapter 216 One thought of heaven, another thought of hell

Fang Ze never thought that he would have such a day. When the imperial decree was delivered to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he thought it was a hallucination. When he stood up in excitement, he felt dizzy and fell heavily to the ground.But he took advantage of the situation and knelt down to accept the order, thanking the order with some excitement and trembling.

"General Fang, get up, the Holy Majesty is still waiting for you to enter the palace to thank you!" Xi Shun said, his thin voice could not hear sadness or joy.

"Yes, yes, enter the palace to thank you, but with Fang's appearance, I'm afraid of bumping into Longyan." Fang Ze looked at his embarrassed appearance, and there was a strange smell all over his body.

"In the face of a national crisis, does General Fang still care about these things? The palace has prepared its own washing utensils and military armor, so let's go with our family!" Xishun said.

Fang Ze felt a little dissatisfied, the eunuch Xishun didn't please him in the past, but now he dares to be so shameless.But he can't take care of these anymore, this time is his chance to counterattack, if he can make military exploits, he will have a chance to make a comeback.There was a carriage waiting outside the Ministry of Punishment, and after picking up Fang Ze, he went directly to the palace.

Rumors of the reactivation of Fang Ze by the imperial court also spread. Fang Zhuoyun often visited outside the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Naturally, he knew the news, and he had some subtle feelings in his heart.It is true that his father was able to lead the army again, which made him happy. Although his father's official position was not restored at the court, he also saw that this was an opportunity. If his father could drive the Huren cavalry out of the border of Xia Kingdom, it would make up for it. Even if he can't restore his former prestige, at least he can escape death. Isn't that exactly what he thinks?
Since this is the case, there is no need for him to lock Ji Ruzhang anymore. Fang Zhuoyun is going to release Ji Ruzhang. He already feels a little guilty about Ji Ruzhang. If he does not let him go, he will be too ashamed.

In Ji Ruzhang's dark basement, feeling the loneliness of being empty, he struggled for a long time, but he still couldn't break free from the binding rope.Who would Fang Zhuoyun use himself to threaten?Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ji Ruzhang straightened up, a little nervous and defensive.

"Ji Ruzhang, thanks to you, my father is no longer a prisoner." Fang Zhuoyun said in a relaxed tone.

"Someone robbed the prison?" Ji Ruzhang was shocked, was it really because of him?
"No, the admiral raised my father from Laozhong to let my father take the blame and make meritorious service and lead the army to fight against the barbarians again." Fang Zhuoyun said, "I think your father still has some weight in the court!" Fang Zhuoyun guessed , he didn't see any movement from Shen Qingzi's side, was it too late, or didn't care?

Ji Ruzhang looked at Fang Zhuoyun with an indifferent expression on his face, and only heard him say: "So, why are you locking me up, Fang Zhuoyun, let's just fight!"

"I will let you go, but Ji Ruzhang, I have thought about some things, and I still want to remind you that if one day your father ends up like mine, you may not be too surprised." Fang Zhuoyun said.

"What do you mean?" Ji Ruzhang asked.

"Our Fang family will end up like this because the remnants of the Li family have been targeting our Fang family, but how can our Fang family contribute to what happened back then? The Li family will not let those people back then go." Before Fang Zhuoyun left Beijing, Fang Ze once told him that if the Li family wanted revenge, his Fang family would not be the last.And he also heard his father say that Ji Yunfeng was not very innocent at all.

"What do you mean? The fate of your Fang family is not because of the Li family, but Fang Ze has been committing crimes all the time. Do you want to say that Fang Ze's numerous crimes were framed by members of the Li family?" Ji Ruzhang sarcastically said.

Fang Ze was at a loss for words for a while, indeed, he never knew that his father had done so many corrupt and perverted things, and he also knew that his father had killed many people, but if Shen Qingzi and his party hadn't been intimidating all the time, his father might not have such a thing. end. "Ji Ruzhang, you are indeed luckier than me." Poor Ji Ruzhang didn't know anything, and his wife was not who he thought he was at all.

"Fang Zhuoyun, I really hate you. No one has ever forced your Fang family to do those things. No one has forced you to kill my wife and children. Don't you have any intention of repenting at all?" Ji Ruzhang said bitterly.

"Yes, I killed your wife and children, but do you think Liu Yeqiu is really Li Lanning?" Fang Zhuoyun said quickly, but then blurted out that he was hiding that Shen Qingzi was Li Lanning. Shen Qingzi used him, deceived him, and killed him The secret of Fang's family's destruction, he wanted to say, wanted to tell others, but he felt ashamed in his heart, knowing that his family owed the Li family, and that what his father did was wrong.He didn't ask the Fang family to return to the past, he really only asked his father to save his life. "Forget it, I'll let you go!"

"Fang Zhuoyun, what do you mean?" Ji Ruzhang was angry and puzzled when he heard what Fang Zhuoyun said.

Fang Zhuoyun didn't say anything, but he didn't want to fight with Ji Ruzhang now. He was a shameful court prisoner, and his father had just been hired by the court, so he couldn't show his face yet.This was just a cut of the rope tied to Ji Ruzhang. Knowing that Ji Ruzhang would break free soon, Fang Zhuoyun said: "If I can meet you again in the future, let's fight again!" After finishing speaking, he turned around leave.

"Fang Zhuoyun, tell me clearly!" Ji Ruzhang roared, this is also the rope that is trying to break free, and when he breaks free, there will be no trace of Fang Zhuoyun.He chased after him, but found that he was in the empty Fang's house. It turned out that Fang Zhuoyun had been in the sealed Fang's house all along.He wanted to chase Fang Zhuoyun to find out what happened, but after thinking about it, his father must be worried about him, so he decided to go back to Ji's house first.

Ji Yunfeng was waiting at home, he thought that as soon as the news of Fang Ze's release from prison spread, Ji Ruzhang should come back.When I heard the servants say that the young master came back, I let go of my worries. This trick of Taifu Lin is really useful.

As soon as Ji Ruzhang returned to Ji's house, after seeing Ji Yunfeng, he asked anxiously: "Father, does the emperor really want to use alternatives?"

"This is also a helpless move. Firstly, it is to save you, and secondly, there is indeed no one in court." Ji Yunfeng said with relief seeing that Ji Ruzhang was fine. "It was Fang Zhuoyun's hand that moved, right?"

Ji Ruzhang nodded, and said angrily: "Fang Zhuoyun is so arrogant, Dad, he has been at Fang's house all this time."

"Don't worry about this matter for now. It's not that easy to use Fang Ze. How could the emperor hand over the soldiers and horses to Fang Ze so easily? Therefore, the court will take care of Fang Zhuoyun's whereabouts." Ji Yunfeng said.

"Father, my wife and children were all murdered by the Fang family. I'm not willing to watch the Fang family make a comeback!" Ji Ruzhang said with hatred on his face. Fang Zhuoyun's words always made him very uneasy.

Ji Yunfeng patted Ji Ruzhang's shoulder, sighed and said: "Ruzhang, many things in this world are unsatisfactory, let him get over the past!"

"Father, that's my wife and child." Ji Ruzhang couldn't let it go.

"Then what are you going to do? Do you want Fang's father and son to be buried with him? Ruzhang, it is impossible for the Fang family to rise again." Ji Yunfeng sighed, with such a lesson learned from the past, how can the Holy One reuse Fang Ze. "You also know the current situation. The border gates are expedited, and there is no one in the court. The Holy Majesty wants Fang to choose to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, but it is impossible for merits and demerits to be offset. Just wait and see!" What is Ziding going to do again, he is a little worried that these things will affect Ji Ruzhang and everything he has now.

Ji Ruzhang felt that there was something in his father's words. He didn't ask what Fang Zhuoyun said, but he couldn't erase it. It seemed that he had to check it himself.

Fang Ze washed and washed in the palace, the old court clothes are no longer there, after washing and washing, he was dressed in common clothes.Kneeling in front of Emperor Yanxi, Fang Ze kept his posture very low.

"Fang Ze, I'll use you again this time, but how can you convince me that you won't have second thoughts?" Emperor Yanxi asked.

"The emperor treats the offenders like reborn parents, and the offenders know the serious crimes, so they just want to share the emperor's worries." Fang Ze said with a bit of heart and soul. According to Xia Guo's laws, all of his things are capital crimes. It's pretty good to get a life back.

Emperor Yanxi looked at Fang Ze with some disbelief. Fang Ze's complexion was not particularly good. After all, he was imprisoned for so long, and he was not as vigorous as when he was a general. "I want to hand over the soldiers and horses to you again, but I have a lot of worries. Fang Ze, your crimes have been made known to the world, and I have risked the disgrace of the world by doing this. If I want to use you, I want Fang Zhuoyun to come in." The palace is a hostage!" Emperor Yanxi said directly.

Fang Ze was shocked, he couldn't help but raised his head, seeing Emperor Yanxi's serious face, it didn't look like a joke at all. "The guilty minister doesn't know where Zhuo Yun is."

"Oh, I don't know, Fang Zhuoyun tied up Ji Yunfeng's son and asked Ji Yunfeng to take you out of prison, and he is in Beijing!" Emperor Yanxi sneered.

Fang Ze's heart sank even more, and he felt sore. It seems that the Li family didn't break his promise and didn't embarrass Zhuo Yun, but why did Zhuo Yun stay in Beijing!Thinking of Fang Zhuoyun's desperation to save himself, Fang Ze hesitated happily.However, right now is really his chance to start again, he doesn't want to go back to the prison and wait for Qiu Hou to be executed, but Zhuo Yun is the blood of the Fang family, his only son, entering the palace as a hostage, it's extremely dangerous! "Your Majesty, Zhuo Yun is the last blood of our Fang family, please raise your hand high."

"Don't you want to? Heh, Fang Zhuoyun colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country. Kill him, do you think you have a choice? Or do you want me to rule your Fang family and the nine clans? I suddenly remembered that Concubine Lan is also a member of your Fang family." Emperor Yanxi said coldly.

"Your Majesty!" Fang Ze was a little frightened.

"You don't need to think too much, I have already sent someone to find Fang Zhuoyun, I believe Fang Zhuoyun will enter the palace voluntarily after knowing my conditions." Emperor Yanxi did not give Fang Zhe a chance to refuse.The Fang family's father and son are very close, Fang Zhuoyun is doing everything possible to save Fang Ze outside, just to see if Fang Zhuoyun will come to his door this time.

Fang Ze was also struggling. Concubine Lan was his younger sister. This time the Fang family was in a catastrophe, but she was spared. Even if Zhuo Yun entered the palace, would Concubine Lan be able to take care of her?And if he misses this opportunity, can he make a comeback?
Both the monarch and his subjects are pregnant at this moment, and there is silence in the imperial study room.
