Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1435 The Son of Heaven is a Saint

  Wang Zuo's eloquence is eloquent and aggressive.

   It was almost time for him to start rubbing Li Chaowen on the ground again.

  Hanlins, at this moment, couldn't help feeling sympathetic to Li Chaowen.

  A Taoist priest dares to argue with Wang Butang. Isn’t this courting death?

  If they must find a place to hide, they dare not see people.

   Fortunately, Li Chaowen has a thick skin and turned a blind eye to everyone's sympathetic gazes.

  Actually, it’s not that he is not afraid, but that he has great confidence in his uncle.

   What the uncle said is always good, there is no doubt about it.

  So, he just sat and let Wang Zuo swear at people without uttering dirty words, and change various tricks.

   In the blink of an eye, more than an hour passed.

  Li Chaowen is now completely bruised, it seems that he has become a heinous person.

  Fang Jifan sat with his legs crossed.

  People looked at Wang Zuo in admiration.

   It's hard for others not to admire it.

   This is the first one. They saw with their own eyes, standing in front of Fang Jifan, who dared to point at Sang Huai and scold Fang Jifan.

  And... this person is alive and active.

  They really admire him from the bottom of their hearts, Wang Zuo is awesome.

  Wang Zuo didn't care what others thought of him. At this moment, his voice was still roaring in the hall.

"Today's emperor can be said to be unsagely. In the past, he was discerning and wide-ranging, but now, look at what it looks like. Above the temple, wolves, tigers and leopards are all treacherous villains. The emperor is the son of heaven, but what is a saint? Confucius is a sage, is the Son of Heaven Confucius?"

   "Li Chaowen, talk to me." He asked word by word.

   Li Chaowen was silent and did not speak.

  He can’t speak. According to his experience, Wang Zuo can say a hundred sentences when he speaks a sentence, and he is full of reason everywhere, so when Wang Zuo is chanting scriptures, he can just ignore it.

   "Qi Guogong, you are here too, shouldn't you say something?"

  Wang Zuo looked at Fang Jifan with scrutiny and questioning in his eyes.

  All Hanlin admired him again.

   It's amazing, it's amazing, Wang Zuo and Wang Butang's courage is commendable, he is indeed a model of scholar-liners, and his iron body is really admirable.

   It's nothing to scold the emperor a few words.

   After all, there are countless people in Daming who scold the emperor. However, people who directly pointed at Fang Jifan's nose and scolded him were very rare. Except for the emperor, there was no one who scolded Fang Jifan so far.

   This is because the emperor also wants to save face, and the king of Hades is easy to provoke, so he scolds him.

   But who is Fang Jifan, this guy beat you to death on the spot, and it is impossible to say that he has a brain disorder.

  Furthermore, with so many disciples and grandchildren, aren’t you, Wang Zuo, afraid of being slapped for bricks while walking on the road, and your son happens to be dragged to the Town God’s Temple outside the city? Are you not afraid that you just owe a little loan, or that your house suddenly catches fire?

  Wang Zuo was already in high spirits, and he stared at Fang Jifan awe-inspiringly, his body full of righteousness.

   "Duke Qi has nothing to say?"

  Fang Jifan took a sip of tea leisurely, held the teacup in his hand and played with it, while stroking the smooth tea bottom, he said to Wang Zuo lightly.

   "Say, what did you say, what did you say just now, did I provoke you?"

Wang Zuo sneered: "Heh... so far, Duke Qi still pretends to be deaf and dumb? This matter happened because of you, and all of this was instigated by you. Now you still want to stay out of it. Now, Li Chaowen doesn't say anything. He said, is Qi Guogong going to sit here? Qi Guogong, there are tens of thousands of eyes staring at this place, how long are you going to pretend to be calm here?"

  Fang Jifan took a deep look at Wang Zuo, but instead of being annoyed, he smiled lightly.

   "What kind of person is Fang Jifan? You, Wang Zuoren, may not know something in Nanjing, but is there anyone here who doesn't know?"

   Fang Jifan looked around as he spoke, looking at the Hanlin.

"I am honest and never lie. I only care about the people in my heart. I report to the country, I go down to the people, and I take the world as my responsibility. Wang Butang, Wang Butang, if you don't believe me, let them all touch their hearts and say, our Fang Jifan , did you do anything wrong? Now you came from Nanjing, talking nonsense here, but...Did Fang Jifan beat you to death? Did you? This is enough to show that I am kind and innocent, and I am reasonable Yes, now, you are riding on my head, saying that I, Fang Jifan, is a treacherous and villainous villain, okay, do you really think that I have no temper? Do you think I am easy to bully?"

  Wang Zuo snorted coldly, and looked at Fang Jifan disdainfully.

   "It's tolerable, but familiarity is unbearable." Fang Jifan suddenly jumped up, and dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground.

   Bang Dang!

   All of a sudden, the audience was silent.

  People looked at Fang Jifan in fear, their pupils constricted.

   But Fang Jifan rolled up his sleeves.

"You want to discuss the Dao with Fang Jifan, I just ask you, what are you, and you are worthy of arguing with me. My disciples traveled across mountains and rivers, traveled across oceans, encountered countless storms, suffered from diseases, and brought back countless things to Daming. Where were you when the gold and silver were scattered? My disciple, when you pacified Cochin, went deep into the desert, fought fiercely with the Tartars, and the Rus, when you were born and died, where were you? My disciple, went to Franz, Where were you when you got rid of your confidant’s serious troubles for me? Where were you when my disciples made contributions in Jinzhou and Baoding?”

  The repeated questions made Wang Zuo startled.

Fang Jifan stared deeply at Wang Zuo, and said coldly: "My disciples went deep into the farmhouse, ate and slept with them, and you said that Fang Jifan was a villain, you shameful person, you actually rely on your mouth to make a fool of yourself." Self-proclaimed Qingliu, dare to act presumptuously in front of Fang Jifan?"

  Wang Zuo was scolded by Fang Jifan as a shameful person, his heart skipped a beat, and his face turned red.

"What have you done for the people, what kind of good have you done, have you built houses for them, healed their diseases? What have you done for the emperor, did you stand up for His Majesty when His Majesty was assassinated?" Do you block the knife? Have you mounted your horse to defend your home and country?"

  Wang Zuo blushed, and couldn't help saying: "You, you...I...I...Hmph, could it be that Duke Qi did this?"

  Fang Jifan said righteously: "This is what my disciples did. They were influenced and taught by me. What's the difference between what I did and what I did?"

  Wang Zuo sternly wanted to say something.

  But he heard the voice outside: "The emperor is here."

   Arrived with a sound.

  People in the hall, you look at me, I look at you.

  Why is the emperor here at this time?

  Fang Jifan got up, ready to take someone to pick him up.

  Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi was walking like a tiger, he hurried in. He took a look at Wang Zuo who was filled with righteous indignation, and then looked at Li Chaowen.

  Emperor Hongzhi walked a few steps with his hands behind his back: "What's the matter, why is there a smell of gunpowder here, Qing and others are all my subjects, why, are you still making noise here?"

   "Your Majesty..." Wang Zuo's eyes were red again, and he prostrated himself on the ground: "Chen...Chen..."

"Why are you crying again?" Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were stern, and he passed over Wang Zuo like a blade. His tone was calm and terrifying: "I have seen you cry several times. Did I die? These tears , or put it away, when I die, there will be a time for you to cry here."

  This sentence is slightly mean and vicious.

   This is clearly going to Wang Zuo.

  Wang Zuo suddenly felt cold.

  Before he came, the emperor was not like this.

  But in a blink of an eye... Could it be... His Majesty has become angry from embarrassment?

  The rest of Hanlin felt chilling too.

  In any case, although Wang Zuo Wangbutang's words are too aggressive, they are all for the good of His Majesty, and he is wholeheartedly for His Majesty.

  This time, it was the Duke of Qi who colluded with Li Chaowen. The facts are already very clear. If His Majesty can see clearly, why would he treat Wang Zuo like this?

  Wang Zuo...he is a loyal minister.

Wang Zuo kowtowed: "Your Majesty made such a statement. It can be seen that I have to be ashamed. I am not talented and cannot share your majesty's worries. I am still here, offending Shengyan. I beg your majesty to punish me for this sin of death. It's just... your majesty. ...Your Majesty, I need a word of kindness..."

   "What kind words."

  Emperor Hongzhi's expression was calm, his patience had reached its limit.

Emperor Hongzhi sat down where Fang Jifan was sitting just now, then, looking at Wang Zuo coldly, he continued: "I have heard too many good words from you, and Master Li told me a lot. Do you think I am confused when you say good words by my side?"

   "This Taoist... is a liar!" Wang Zuo gritted his teeth and said sharply.

  He went all out.

   To die is to die.

  Even if he died, he would die with villains like Fang Jifan.

  At least...you can leave a name of utter loyalty.

  Emperor Hongzhi suddenly showed a strange look on his face. He took a deep look at Wang Zuo: "Really? Li Zhenren is a liar? Then, who should I trust?"

   "Your Majesty..."

  Emperor Hongzhi suddenly and meaningfully interrupted Wang Zuo's words, and his tone was surprisingly calm: "I came here to tell you that the water of the Yellow River...is clear!"

   "..."

  Wang Zuo's face changed suddenly.

  The water of the Yellow River...is clear.

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

  This is what Li Chaowen said.

  Originally, this sentence is an old saying.

   That is to say, when the water of the Yellow River is clear, a saint will be born.

   Logically speaking, it is hard to say who is a saint.

   But Li Chaowen said this first, and Li Chaowen said that the saint is His Majesty... Then... If his previous sentence is true, people will naturally believe in the second sentence.

  And now...the water of the Yellow River...is actually clear.

  In the Hanlin courtyard, like boiling water, the lid of the pot was suddenly lifted.

  For a moment, the awe and silence when there was no His Majesty in person, but they started talking like crazy.

"how can that be…"

   "The water in the Yellow River is clear... Could it be... what Li Zhenren said, in this way... Isn't it... Isn't it..."

  The speaker carefully glanced at Emperor Hongzhi.

  The hesitant words in the back should be, isn’t it, His Majesty is really that saint?
