Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1432 Huang Heqing, a sage

  Wang Zuo smiled calmly when he spoke.

   But it sounds different to others.

  Why did Duke Qi not come?

  This is for Li Chaowen.

  Why is Qi Guogong coming?

  The implication is that you, Li Chaowen, are just a puppet of the Duke of Qi. The puppet came, but the real master disappeared?

  If Li Chaowen categorically denies and disregards his relationship with the Duke of Qi, it is trying to cover up the truth.

   But if he admits it, he admits that Li Chaowen was instructed by Fang Jifan. In this way, under Fang Jifan's instruction, Li Chaowen's charges of deceiving the emperor and deceiving the public by deceiving the public can be regarded as confirmed.

  Wang Zuonai is a man of high moral character, full of pride, looking at Li Chaowen awe-inspiringly, but deep in his heart, it seems that a flame is about to burst out.

  He can't see monsters harming the country the most. People like Li Chaowen are simply intolerable in his eyes.

  At this moment, Wang Zuo asked Li Chaowen where Fang Jifan was. Everyone held their breath, wanting to hear Li Chaowen's explanation.

  Li Chaowen only smiled, nodded to Wang Zuo, and then said: "Uncle Shi has a lot of things to do every day, so I don't have time to come here."

  He... actually directly admitted his relationship with Fang Jifan.

   Suddenly, there was an uproar in the hall.

  Wang Zuo stared at Li Chaowen coldly, a sneering smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the next moment he said: "Then, please, what you said is all from Professor Qi Guogong."

  If this kind of thing is admitted, then everyone will be finished.

  Li Chaowen knew exactly what he should do. He was very calm, shook his head, and said word by word from the corner of his mouth: "No."

  Wang Zuo didn't believe it, snorted coldly, and became aggressive.

"You still say no, your relationship with Fang Jifan is well known, the Duke of Qi is always in charge of everything, it's not wrong, he has done some good things for Daming, and he has some credit, but... colluding with people outside Fang like you, talking nonsense Yu, is this... the work of a gentleman?"

  Li Chaowen remained calm, and said solemnly to Wang Zuo, "This is God's will!"

   "Heh..." Wang Zuo sneered, gritted his teeth, and vehemently refuted Li Chaowen.

   "It's God's will. During the Chenghua period, how many Taoists like you kept talking about God's will, hoodwinked the emperor, and misled the country and the people in the filthy palace!"

  Wang Zuo's momentum is like a rainbow.

  Many people who came with them all became united in their hatred.

  Some of the Hanlin in the Imperial Academy supported Wang Zuo, so they were cold-hearted. But there are also many new learners who seem not very confident.

"This is God's will. The saint is about to come out, and the saint is the son of heaven." Facing the imposing Wang Zuo, Li Chaowen's expression did not change a bit, but he said calmly: "How can a poor Taoist lie? Don't dare to bully the king."

   "Ha..." Wang Zuo smiled contemptuously, raised his eyebrows, and said sharply, "What a destiny, then, I dare to ask, how can you prove your destiny."

   "A few days ago, Tianshenxing..."

  Wang Zuo interrupted Li Chaowen sharply: "Stop talking about these empty words, the old man only asks you, besides this, what else can you prove?"

  The tone was full of disdain and contempt.

   "The sage comes out, the Yellow River is clear."

  The Heavenly God star shines, rushing straight to Wenqu, this is the celestial phenomenon observed by Li Chaowen.

  As for the so-called sage coming out, Huang Heqing, this is even more mysterious.

   "Haha..." Wang Zuo laughed again: "Then, is the water in the Yellow River clear?"

  Li Chaowen was silent for a moment. In fact, he didn't have much confidence in his heart, but for now, he had to say: "I don't know."

   "The water in the Yellow River is turbid!" Wang Zuo yelled sharply: "And you, a sage, said that the Yellow River is clear, which is simply a joke in the world!"

  Li Chaowen was silent.

   In fact, he was powerless to refute.

  Competing eloquence with a clean official is not what he is good at.

  All the people in the hall began to be in an uproar again, people whispered to each other, and some even laughed.

   "People outside of you are supposed to be in the Taoist temple and practice Taoism with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, the benefits are so overwhelming!"

   "People like you can only talk nonsense and harm people..."

   "..."

   "Don't you know the king's law? What is the destiny? You, a mere Taoist, dare to call yourself the destiny?"

   "..."

  Among the crowd, a person quietly recorded every sentence. At this moment, his cold sweat was dripping down.

   It was almost a one-sided massacre.

   Facing the upright Wang Zuo and Li Chaowen, they didn't have the slightest strength to fight back.

  Although Li Chaowen is still very calm, deep down in his heart he no longer has confidence. At this moment, he no longer knows how to face Wang Zuo and others.

  Seeing that Li Chaowen was powerless to refute.

   Next, only Wang Zuo's roar remained.

  ...

  Emperor Hongzhi with his hands behind his back.

  His face was very gloomy.

  Xiao Jing looked at His Majesty cautiously. In Xiao Jing's hand, he was still holding a report that he had just presented to His Majesty. The report was sent from the Imperial Academy, which recorded the debate between Wang Zuo and Li Chaowen.

   And this.

  Emperor Hongzhi had only one thought in his mind...what a shame.

   It's really a shame to throw it at grandma's house.

  His heart sank to the bottom at this moment.

Hey…

  At first, I thought that this Li Chaowen could have something to say.

   Well, even if you, Li Chaowen, don’t have high opinions, Fang Jifan is your uncle, right?

The results of it.

   This is one-sided.

   Li Chaowen almost didn't have any chance to retort, but was pressed to the ground by Wang Zuo and slammed.

  Debate... More than just losing, it has become a joke at all.

   It is simply impossible to look directly at.

   "How was it in the Imperial Academy at that time?" Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help looking at Xiao Jing, and asked.

  Xiao Jing said cautiously: "Your Majesty, hearing this, the whole room burst into laughter."

  Emperor Hongzhi felt countless horses fly by in his heart. He glanced at Xiao Jing, the corners of his mouth moved, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.

  At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi wished he could find a crack in the ground and get in.

   What he seemed to see was that the people in the Hanlin Academy were not smiling like Li Chaowen, but... it was me who was smiling.

  My face for decades has been completely lost to Li Chaowen.

  Emperor Hongzhi was anxious, so he continued to question Xiao Jing.

   "What else, what else?"

"No...not anymore." Xiao Jing said: "Li Chaowen felt unwell, his face was pale, and he was sweating profusely. He said he wanted to leave, but Wang Zuo refused and asked him to argue again. Li Chaowen was eager to get away and agreed to continue the debate in three days. Only then was he willing to let him out, and when he came out, this real Li was very embarrassed..."

  Emperor Hongzhi gasped, feeling at a loss as to what to do.

   It’s all like this, after three days, it’s still here...

   Isn't that embarrassing enough?

  But thinking about it, it actually makes sense. How could Wang Zuo let Li Chaowen go so easily? He was taking advantage of his illness to kill him. If Li Chaowen refused to agree, he would definitely not let him go.

   "The matter has come to this point." Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but wanted to cry, but he wanted to cry without tears. Although he really wanted to avoid this turmoil, he had to solve the trouble he caused with tears.

  He thought about it seriously, and then asked Xiao Jing: "Where is Fang Jifan, and where is he?"

   Xiao Jing said: "I don't know."

   "This..." Emperor Hongzhi wanted to say something, but then he sighed again.

  What can I say...

   Blame only myself.

  Emperor Hongzhi took his seat, appearing calm on purpose: "Huang Heqing, the sage is out, who said that!"

  ...

  Mengjin County.

   This place was originally an important place in Guanzhong, but with the decline of Guanzhong, it has gradually declined.

  A few years ago, suddenly, a group of merchants became active. They used the ferry of the Yellow River to transport countless strange goods here, and then distributed them to Guanzhong. Therefore, Mengjin began to prosper gradually.

   This is the most ordinary day.

  People who got up early arrived at the pier one after another, preparing for a day's work.

  But suddenly, a strange voice came out: "Ah..."

  After the sound, the soldiers and civilians at the Yellow River Ferry in Mengjin County were boiling.

  The water of the Yellow River, which was originally turbid, unexpectedly became...clear at this moment.

  The clear river rolled down, still roaring.

   I've been too busy these two days, I feel dizzy, I don't have code words, I'm in a hurry, I know many people are waiting, sorry, sorry.
