"Hahaha, as I said, no one in the world can draw a person they have never seen before. Mo Jiazi is really digging his own grave! He made the widow of Duke Yunjie faint out of anger and be admitted to Mo Hospital! "
In the Teaching Division, Yan Xingjian laughed heartily and said.
"Now, the Yin Family found Mo Jiazi by themselves. If they can't draw the portrait of Duke Yunjie, they can't blame us!" Zhangsun Chong said with a sigh of relief. It was risky for him to hide the news that Yan Liben couldn't draw Yin Kaishan. In this way, the Yin Family chose Mo Jiazi by themselves, so they couldn't blame Zhangsun Chong.
"Mo Jiazi and the Yin Family are asking for humiliation!" Du He snorted. In fact, he was greatly relieved when he heard that Mrs. Yin was admitted to Mo Hospital because of anger. He thought, "Fortunately, Mo Jiazi didn't draw the portrait, or the Du Family would be the laughing stock of Chang 'an City."
However, they didn't realize that Morton had such an unimaginable ability. He was actually able to reconstruct a person's appearance based on a person's oral description. The Yin Residence was also in a state of panic. They couldn't get any information at all.
"Now that Mo Jiazi has failed, shall we continue to carry out the next step of our plan?" Du He asked.
In his opinion, since they had offended Mo Jiazi, they could only continue to kill him.
"Of course, continue!" Zhangsun Chong said with a sinister smile, "Not only continue to carry out the plan, but also add the crime of making Mo Jiazi faint out of anger to Duke Yunjie's widow. This time, I will make Mo Jiazi unable to turn over."
"Brother Zhangsun, you are so wise. Mo Jiazi is just a nouveau riche. Once he gets the upper hand, he gets carried away. Brother Zhangsun, you beat him back to his original state." Yan Xingjian complimented. He was secretly proud. Last time, Meton used him as a stepping stone to make a name for himself, and he was still angry about it. So when Zhangsun Chong told him about the plan to take revenge on Mo Jiazi, he immediately nodded and agreed to participate. Now, it was finally time for revenge.
Soon, the news reached Jiang Zhong Manor and Duke Zou Manor. The Qu Tu Clan and the Zhang Clan immediately heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were secretly happy that they didn't let Mo Jiazi in. Otherwise, they would be a laughing stock like the Yin Clan.
Not only them, but also the nobles and the common people, when they heard the news that Mo Jiazi had angered Duke Yunjie's widow until she fainted, they all sighed. Mo Jiazi's legend had been shattered.
The next day, the morning assembly in Taiji Palace!
The ministers who were passing by all looked at the group of generals and saw a young face in the front row of the duke's group! Yin Yuan.
"Duke Yun Jie!"
When the ministers heard Pande calling his name, they suddenly realized who he was.
Since the death of Yin Kaishan, Duke Yun Jie's Mansion had never appeared in the assembly. This was the first time that Duke Yun Jie's Mansion appeared in the assembly.
"Why is he here?" A minister who was not well-informed asked in confusion.
"You don't know?" A minister beside him hurriedly and excitedly recounted how the son of the Mo family was rejected three times yesterday, and how the widow of the Duke Yun's Mansion received him so grandly that she fainted due to anger. It was as if he had experienced it himself.
"Oh! No wonder Duke Yun Jie's Mansion wants to make a scene in the assembly. Mo Jiazi has really gone too far. "
"Alas! We were kind enough to give Mo Jiazi a chance, but we didn't receive a good reward! "
...
Many of the courtiers who understood the situation looked at Yin Yuan sympathetically.
"If you have something to report, report it early. If not, the assembly is dismissed!"
As soon as Pande's voice fell, two figures came out at the same time.
"I have a memorial for you!"
Censor Wang came out first and snatched the right to speak. At the same time, he winked at Yin Yuan, who was slower than him because it was his first time attending the assembly.
Yin Yuan was stunned and had to return to the group.
"Censor Wang! What is it? "Li Shimin asked.
"The Minister impeaches Meton of Village Mo for fishing for fame and tarnishing the reputation of a deceased meritorious official!" Censor Wang said vehemently.
After receiving Zhangsun Chong's instructions yesterday, he was immediately excited. Censor Wang had failed to impeach Meton several times and had lost the emperor's heart. His situation was very worrying.
Zhangsun Chong's promise gave him hope. If he could get the support of the Zhangsun family, he could still stand firm in the assembly.
"Tarnishing the reputation of a deceased meritorious official?" Li Shimin was stunned.
Li Shimin now had a headache whenever he heard news about Meton. This little catfish could really cause trouble. Every time he surprised people, he would also cause a storm.
Last time, Li Shimin asked him to persuade Sun Simiao to stay in Chang 'an. In the end, Meton advertised in the Mo's Journal that he was filial to his mother and advised women to study medicine. The effect was simply too good. Even Princess Changle was encouraged and wanted to study medicine for Empress Zhangsun. Now, Li Shimin hated Meton so much that his teeth itched when he thought of him. Who would have thought that in just a few days, this guy would not stop and was impeached again?
"Mo Jiazi is only 15 years old and has never seen the deceased Prime Minister Du and the others. How could he draw their portraits? Yet, he fished for fame and came to paint. The Lingyan Pavilion is a place that the Emperor has specially bestowed to the founding ministers. If we let the portraits of Prime Minister Du and the others be half-heartedly painted, that would be the greatest disrespect to Prime Minister Du and the others!" Imperial Censor Wang said with righteous indignation.
"Lord Wang is right!" Immediately, many officials nodded in agreement, especially some civil officials. They had all received Du Ruhui's favor before. Now that they heard Imperial Censor Wang's words, they all agreed.
"If it were up to me, we should have let Lord Yan draw the portrait of the Lingyan Pavilion. Then, this situation would not have happened!" Some officials who were on good terms with Yan Liben supported Yan Liben.
"Although Mo Jiazi is talented, he is still young and cannot bear heavy responsibilities!" There were also some officials who had long disliked Meton's soaring achievements and slandered him.
Pande whispered into Li Shimin's ear, telling him about how Mo Jiazi had been rejected three times and how Yin Kaishan's widow had fainted from anger. Li Shimin immediately felt a headache. He had personally agreed to let Meton draw the portrait of the Lingyan Pavilion. Now, it seemed that he had been negligent!
Qin Qiong saw that Meton had been pushed down by everyone and couldn't help but feel anxious. He couldn't help but explain, "According to the Old Man's knowledge, Meton had been rejected at the door. It can't be said that he had tarnished Prime Minister Du's reputation!"
"Oh! Of course they had to reject him. Duke Yunjie's residence had opened the middle gate wide to invite Mo Jiazi in, but Duke Yunjie's widow had fainted from anger! "
Imperial Censor Wang retorted. In an instant, many officials focused their gazes on Yin Yuan.
"Minister Yin Yuan can … greets Your Majesty!" It was Yin Yuan's first time attending the court, so he was so nervous that he couldn't speak properly.
"Minister Yin has been wronged. After the court, I will go to Duke Yunjie's residence to visit your mother!" Li Shimin comforted him.
"There's no need, there's no need to go! My father's painting has already been completed. My mother's illness has already been cured without medicine! "Yin Yuan anxiously told him everything.
"He's still young after all!"
It was a great honor for the current emperor to personally visit, but Yin Yuan actually directly told Li Shimin not to go. Sure enough, he was the same as Mo Jiazi. These young people were simply inexperienced and couldn't do things properly. Before everyone could sigh, they were shocked by the second half of Yin Yuan's sentence!
"The painting has been completed?"
For a moment, all the officials in the court were stunned!
"Yes, Marquis Merton visited yesterday and completed my father's painting. The Minister has already brought it over!" Yin Yuan raised the painting in his hand.
Old Man Yin wanted to get on good terms with Meton, so he had sent Yin Yuan to court to clear Meton's name. Naturally, he had prepared everything. What better way to prove Meton's innocence than to see it with one's own eyes?
"Quickly, quickly present it!" Li Shimin anxiously said.
He didn't even wait for Yin Yuan to present it. He directly walked down from the dragon throne and took the flower carriage from Yin Yuan. Li Shimin took it and impatiently opened it. The officials quickly gathered around it.
When the painting was opened, a lifelike general in military attire appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Yin Kaishan!" Li Shimin immediately cried out in alarm.
Many of the officials present were old officials who had followed Li Shimin. They immediately recognized that the person in the painting was Li Shimin's greatest regret, Yin Kaishan.
While everyone was shocked, they couldn't help but be aghast. They all realized a serious problem. Mo Jiazi had actually painted a person they had never seen before. Just how had he done it?
When Imperial Censor Wang heard Li Shimin's exclamation, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His body stiffened as he stared in disbelief at Yin Yuan, who had been pushed to the furthest edge by the officials.
Big Brother, why didn't you say so earlier! Imperial Censor Wang wanted to cry.
