The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1508

[1508. Chapter 1432 The Yellow River is clear and the saint comes out]

When the saint comes out to speak to Wang Zuo, he smiles calmly.

But to others, it sounds like something else.

Why didn’t Duke Qi come?

This is for Li Chaowen.

Why is the Duke of Qi coming?

The implication is that you, Li Chaowen, are just the puppet of Duke Qi. The puppet is here, but the real master is nowhere to be seen?

If Li Chaowen flatly denies and denies his relationship with Qi Guogong, it will be an attempt to cover up the truth.

But if he admits it, he admits that Li Chaowen was instructed by Fang Jifan. In this way, Li Chaowen, under Fang Jifan’s instructions, was charged with deceiving the emperor and deceiving the public with his evil words.

Wang Zuonai was a man of noble character and proud. He looked at Li Chaowen sternly, but deep in his heart, it seemed as if there was a flame about to burst out.

What he hates the most is demons harming the country. There is no room for people like Li Chaowen 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, I have so many things to do, I have no 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, with a sarcastic smile on his lips. The next moment he said, “Then, may I ask, what you are talking about is all taught by Qi Guogong.”

If this kind of thing is true, If you admit it, everyone will be doomed.

Li Chaowen knew exactly what he should do. He was very calm and calm. He shook his head and spoke out from the corners of his mouth: “No.”

Wang Zuo didn’t believe it. He snorted coldly and became aggressive.

“You still say no. Everyone knows about your relationship with Fang Jifan. The Duke of Qi is responsible for everything. This is not wrong. He has done some good things for the Ming Dynasty and has some merits. But… colluding with people from outside the country like you is nonsense. Nonsense, is this… the work of a gentleman?”

Li Chaowen remained calm and said solemnly to Wang Zuo: “This is God’s will!”

“Ha…” Wang Zuo sneered, gritted his teeth, and retorted fiercely to Li Chaowen. .

“What a God’s will. During the Chenghua years, there were many Taoists like you who kept talking about God’s will, deceiving the emperor, causing chaos in the palace, and harming the country and the people!”

Wang Zuo’s momentum was like a rainbow.

Many people who came with him became angry with the same enemy.

Some of the Hanlin officials in the Hanlin Academy supported Wang Zuo, but they looked at him coldly. However, there are also many new students who appear to be less confident.

“This is God’s will. The saint is about to appear, and the saint is the emperor.” Facing the surging Wang Zuo, Li Chaowen’s expression did not change at all, but he said calmly: “How can a poor man tell lies, let alone I dare not deceive you.”

“Ha…” Wang Zuo smiled scornfully, raised his eyebrows, and said sternly: “What a destiny, then I dare to ask how to prove your destiny.”

“A few days ago .

, God of Heaven…”

Wang Zuo interrupted Li Chaowen sharply: “Stop talking about these empty words, I just ask you, is there anything else you can prove?”

His tone was full of disdain and contempt.

“When the saint comes out, the Yellow River becomes clear.”

The stars in the sky shine brightly and head towards Wenqu. This is the celestial phenomenon observed by Li Chaowen.

As for the so-called saint coming out, the Yellow River will be clear, this is even more mysterious.

“Haha…” Wang Zuo laughed again: “So, 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 at this point, he had to say: “I don’t know.”

“The water of the Yellow River is turbid!” Wang Zuo shouted sharply: “And you, a saint, say that the Yellow River is clear, it is simply a joke to the world!”

Li Chaowen was silent.

In fact, he couldn’t argue with it at all.

Comparing eloquence with a Qingliu official is not what he is good at.

The people in the hall began to make an uproar again, whispering to each other, and some even laughed.

“You outsiders should be in Taoist temples and practice Taoism with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, you are so obsessed with benefits!”

“People like you only talk nonsense and harm others…”

“…”

“Don’t you know that the king Dharma? What is destiny? You, a Taoist, dare to call yourself destiny?”

“…”

One person in the crowd was recording every word quietly, and at this moment, he was dripping with cold sweat.

It was almost a one-sided massacre.

Facing the upright Wang Zuo, Li Chaowen had no power to fight back at all.

Although Li Chaowen was still calm, deep down in his heart he no longer had confidence. At this moment, he no longer knew how to face Wang Zuo and others.

Seeing that Li Chaowen was unable to refute.

Next, only Wang Zuo’s roar was left around.

…………

Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back.

His face was very gloomy.

Xiao Jing looked at His Majesty carefully. In Xiao Jing’s hand, he still held a report that had just been sent to His Majesty. The report was sent from the Hanlin Academy and recorded the debate between Wang Zuo and Li Chaowen.

And to this.

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

It’s really embarrassing to be thrown into grandma’s house.

His heart sank to the bottom at this moment.

Sigh…

I originally thought that this Li Chaowen would have something to say.

Well, even if you, Li Chaowen, don’t have great opinions, Fang Jifan is your uncle, right? This is your uncle’s idea. With him behind your back, shouldn’t he teach you something?

The results of it.

This is one-sided.

Li Chaowen almost didn’t have any chance to question him, but he was pushed to the ground and hammered by Wang Zuo.

The debate… was not only a loss, it became a joke.

It’s simply unbearable to look at.

“How was it in the Hanlin Academy at that time?” Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help but look at Xiao Jing and asked.

Xiao Jing said cautiously: “Your Majesty, I heard that the whole hall was laughing.”

Emperor Hongzhi had countless heads flying in his heart. He looked at Xiao Jing and moved the corners of his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t utter a single word.

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

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

My face has been completely disgraced by Li Chaowen for decades.

Emperor Hongzhi was anxious and continued to question Xiao Jing.

“There’s more, there’s more?”

“No…no more.” 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 Eager to get away, he agreed to continue the debate for three days before letting him out. When he came out, Mr. Li was in a very embarrassed state…”

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and was completely at a loss as to what to do.

After all, coming here three days later…

isn’t it embarrassing enough?

But think 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 refuses to agree, he will definitely not let him go.

“Things have come to this.” Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help but want to cry, but he couldn’t cry. Although he wanted to avoid this turmoil, he had to solve the trouble he had caused with tears.

He thought carefully and asked Xiao Jing: “Where is Fang Jifan? 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…

I only have myself to blame.

Emperor Hongzhi sat down and deliberately looked calm: “The Yellow River is clear and the saints come out. Who said this nonsense!”

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 rare goods here, and then distributed them to Guanzhong. As a result, Mengjin began to gradually become prosperous.

This is the most ordinary day.

People who got up early arrived at the dock one after another, preparing for the day’s work.

But suddenly, a strange voice came out: “Ah…”

After this voice, the soldiers and civilians at the Yellow River Ferry in Mengjin County became excited.

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

The clear river water rolled down, still roaring.

I’ve been too busy these two days. I feel dizzy and can’t type. I’m extremely anxious. I know a lot of people are waiting. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.
