"Zihou, you are always smart and have many ideas. Do you have any good plan?"
Gao Gong's eyes immediately lit up, just like a lost tourist who saw a faint light in the dark wilderness. A glimmer of hope rose on his desperate and anxious face. He looked at Zhu Ping'an with burning eyes and asked impatiently.
Seeing that Gao Gong had asked the question first, Xu Jie did not speak again, but turned his burning gaze to Zhu Ping'an.
For a moment, four scorching gazes focused on Zhu Ping'an like spotlights, making Zhu Ping'an feel a little embarrassed.
"Ahem, Ping An doesn't have any good ideas. I just have some vague ideas that I would like to discuss with the teacher and Brother Su Qing."
Zhu Ping'an scratched his head and replied with a wry smile.
"It's good to have an idea. Zihou, tell us quickly and we can analyze it together."
After hearing Zhu Ping'an's conservative answer, Gao Gong was not disappointed, but instead had a hint of hope on his face, and he urged Zhu Ping'an repeatedly. Really, if Zhu Ping'an took on too much responsibility and boasted too much, he would not believe it.
"Haha, look how anxious Su Qing is. Zihou, just speak up quickly." Xu Jie smiled and said to Zhu Ping'an. He knew Zhu Ping'an better than Gao Gong. He knew that when Zhu Ping'an said he had an idea, it usually meant that he really had one.
"Yes." Zhu Ping'an bowed to Xu Jie.
"Actually, it was after listening to the analysis of the teacher and Brother Su Qing that I was inspired. I was thinking, since it seems unsolvable to break the current crisis from our perspective, why not change our perspective?" Zhu Ping'an said slowly.
"Change the angle?"
Gao Gong was slightly stunned, as if he had some clue, but it flew away in an instant and could not be found.
After listening to Zhu Ping'an's words, Xu Jie seemed to be inspired all of a sudden. He couldn't help but stroke his beard and began to ponder. After thinking for a moment, his eyes lit up and he looked up at Zhu Ping'an, waiting for Zhu Ping'an to continue.
"Yes, let's change the angle." Zhu Pingan nodded slowly, and without further suspense, he continued, "Why not look at this crisis from the perspective of Yan Song and his son? If Yan Song and his son want to use the "or ask the two princes" point to attack Prince Yu's Mansion, what will they do and how can they achieve their goal?"
"What should they do to achieve their goal? Only by knowing both ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle. Zihou's idea is good."
Gao Gong's eyes lit up when he heard this. Zhu Ping'an was right. Since there was no solution to the problem from our perspective, why not look at it from the perspective of Yan Song and his son? Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
After listening to Zhu Ping'an's ideas, Xu Jie couldn't help but stroke his beard and nodded repeatedly. He looked at Zhu Ping'an with praise, thinking that this student of his always brought him unexpected results.
"Ping'an, put yourself in their shoes. If I were Yan Song and his son, even though the Yan Party is powerful, it would not be so easy to drag Prince Yu into the water." Zhu Ping'an looked up at Xu Jie and Gao Gong and said softly.
"Zihou, please continue."
Gao Gong pulled the chair one foot towards Zhu Ping'an, leaned towards Zhu Ping'an, and spoke repeatedly.
Xu Jie also looked at Zhu Ping'an with interest, encouraging him to continue with his eyes.
"If Yan Song and his son want to drag Prince Yu into this, then they cannot avoid one issue - they have to prove that Senior Brother Zhongfang's impeachment was instigated by Prince Yu..." Zhu Ping'an said softly.
"Zihou's words make sense." Gao Gong nodded.
"Brother Suqing and I know it very well. His Royal Highness Prince Yu has never had any contact with Senior Brother Zhongfang, and he has never sent anyone or written letters to instruct Senior Brother Zhongfang to impeach Yan Song. This matter is completely false. How can Yan Song and his son prove it? Can they forge a letter from Prince Yu as physical evidence?! Even if they want to frame His Royal Highness Prince Yu, it is not something that the Yan Party can do alone. At least they need the 'cooperation' of Senior Brother Zhongfang." Zhu Ping'an continued, "Yan The best way for Song and his son to prove this is for Senior Brother Zhongfang to admit that he impeached Yan Song at the behest of His Royal Highness Prince Yu. However, although Senior Brother Zhongfang was somewhat impulsive in his impeachment this time, he was an upright official who saw Yan Song and his son as treacherous officials and wanted to get rid of them but failed, so why would he cooperate with Yan Song and his son to frame His Royal Highness Prince Yu. Yan Shifan was extremely smart, but Senior Brother Zhongfang was not a fool. Even if Yan Shifan tried to lure Senior Brother Zhongfang into confessing in various ways, Senior Brother Zhongfang would never be fooled. "
Hearing this, Xu Jie nodded vigorously. He knew Zhu Ping'an, and he knew Yang Jisheng, the disciple who came earlier, even better. Yang Jisheng was diligent and hardworking, upright, and loyal to the Ming Dynasty. How could he cooperate with Yan Song and his son to frame Prince Yu? In addition, although Yang Jisheng was upright and a little paranoid, he was definitely not stupid, otherwise how could he be in his eyes? No matter how cunning and wise Yan Shifan was, it was impossible for him to induce Yang Jisheng to confess.
Gao Gong also nodded, agreeing deeply, but after thinking about it, he shook his head, "Although the formal channels are not possible, the informal channels..."
Gao Gong's meaning was very clear. Yan Song and his son would not be able to get a confession from Yang Jisheng admitting that it was Prince Yu who ordered it through formal channels. However, if they used informal channels, such as doing some tricks and getting a false confession, it was not impossible.
It is difficult to call a horse a deer, but for Yan Song and his son, it is definitely not a difficult task to get a false confession.
"What Brother Suqing said is exactly what I want to say. If Yan Song and his son cannot get what they want through regular channels, then they will definitely try irregular channels. After Senior Brother Zhongfang's impeachment memorial was submitted to Xiyuan, I estimate, not estimate, I am almost certain that the first thing that awaits Senior Brother Zhongfang is jail. The previous few adults who impeached Yan Song and his son were all thrown into jail at the first opportunity without exception. What's more, in Senior Brother Zhongfang's impeachment memorial against Yan Song, in addition to the handle like 'or ask the two kings', there are also some words that will make His Majesty unhappy... ... The Yan Party will definitely not let it go, so Senior Brother Zhongfang is afraid that he will not be able to avoid jail." Zhu Ping'an nodded, then spoke bitterly.
Alas... Zhu Ping'an couldn't help feeling a little regretful, regretting that he had failed to persuade Senior Brother Zhong Fang in the morning.
Gao Gong and Xu Jie nodded, agreeing with Zhu Ping'an's prediction.
"If Senior Brother Zhongfang is thrown into prison, then it will fall into the hands of Lord Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei. First, the Jinyiwei has the responsibility to supervise all officials, and Lord Lu, the commander of the Jinyiwei, has been in charge of the Western Garden since this year. If there is a matter of arrest in the Western Garden, it will first fall to Lord Lu; second, the imperial prison of the Jingchengfusi is under the control of the Jinyiwei; third, the power of the Jinyiwei has flourished in Lord Lu's hands, and the power of the guards has surpassed the power of the factory, and the East Factory also bows to it. Even if the East Factory arrests, it is Lord Lu who makes the decision. So, to a certain extent, the fate of His Royal Highness Prince Yu and Senior Brother Zhongfang is in the hands of Lord Lu."
Zhu Pingan said as he looked up at Xu Jie and Gao Gong, "So, if Yan Song and his son want to drag Prince Yu into this, they must rely on the power of Lord Lu Binglu, the commander of the Imperial Guard."
An epiphany!
Suddenly my eyes are opened!
Gao Gong suddenly opened his eyes wide, and it was as if a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, splitting the dark night.
Although Xu Jie had already vaguely guessed it when Zhu Ping'an reminded him from a different angle, but when he heard Zhu Ping'an say it himself, he still couldn't help but nod repeatedly and look at Zhu Ping'an with approval. This disciple of his had brought him too many unexpected surprises.
