"Your Majesty, Minister, please punish Mo Jiazi for the crime of deceiving the Emperor." Imperial Censor Wang suddenly stepped out and said something shocking. All the courtiers looked at Imperial Censor Wang in surprise.
"Crime of deceiving the Emperor?" Li Shimin was confused.
"Imperial Censor Wang can be targeted! Meton didn't even say a word to Your Majesty, and he even announced the Living Fish Secret Technique on time. How can he be guilty of deceiving the Emperor? "Qin Qiong said with an unkind expression.
Li Shimin also looked at Imperial Censor Wang with an unkind expression. He suddenly realized that the engraving printing technique was a divine tool. The entire court was harmonious, but this Imperial Censor Wang immediately destroyed the atmosphere.
"Duke Yi's words are not false. Mo Jiazi did announce the Living Fish Secret Technique on time. However, Your Majesty, please look at Mo Jiazi's advertisement. How can there be a youth in this world who walks with his hands? Mo Jiazi actually publicly announced such a fake matter in Chang 'an City. How can this be the action of a gentleman? "
Imperial Censor Wang said angrily. In fact, he knew that this alone wasn't enough to punish Mo Jiazi for inventing the engraving printing technique. However, seeing that Mo Jiazi was becoming more and more favored by the Emperor, when would he be able to take revenge? Right now, as long as he labeled Mo Jiazi as dishonest, it would definitely destroy Mo Jiazi's reputation. It would definitely cause Mo Jiazi to lose the favor of the Emperor. There would be plenty of opportunities for him to take revenge in the future.
"This was only distributed on the streets. To say that it's a crime of deceiving the Emperor, that's a bit too much!" Unexpectedly, Kong Yingda spoke up for Meton. He didn't want the Imperial College to have a crime of deceiving the Emperor. Even if he didn't like Meton, Meton represented the glory of the Imperial College.
"Even if it's distributed among the people, it's actually just nonsense to deceive the people. However, it has already appeared in the court and even Your Majesty has been deceived. According to my observations, this isn't the only fake news on the advertisement. Speaking across the city wall is simply the biggest joke in the world. Such a dishonest person is truly despicable. "Imperial Censor Wang was extremely sinister and directly ruined Meton's reputation.
Imperial Censor Wang's words caused many courtiers to nod. With their common sense, they believed that this was indeed impossible.
"Old Old is seventy-three years old, I've never heard of such a ridiculous thing." A white-haired civil servant shook his head and said.
"I thought that the son of the Mo Family was a trustworthy person. I didn't expect him to be such a liar."
"Ah! Old's eyes is wrong! "
… …
The civil officials chimed in one after another, each with a pained look on their faces. They directly pinned the crime of deceit on Modun.
Kong Yingda was tongue-tied. He wanted to defend Meton, but he couldn't say anything. After all, he also felt that such a thing was impossible.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, although Mo Jiazi has contributed greatly to the country, his character is not good. The Imperial College is an important place for the country to nurture talents. How can such a person be allowed to enter? The Minister requests that Meton be stripped of his qualifications as a student of the Imperial College," Imperial Censor Wang said ruthlessly.
Meton's biggest protection now was that he was personally appointed by His Majesty to enter the Imperial College. If others were to touch him, they would definitely alert Li Shimin. If Meton lost this layer of protection, he would only be an ordinary county magistrate. When the time came, he would be at Li Shimin's mercy.
Li Shimin was also in a difficult position. Meton was personally appointed by him to experiment with the catfish effect. He had also just contributed the secret technique of the living fish and the engraving printing technique. He had made a great contribution. Now that he was accused of dishonesty, it was really difficult for him.
"Imperial Censor Wang, how do you know that this is a young man who said that Qian Jin was fake? Have you verified it?" Qin Qiong suddenly said.
Imperial Censor Wang was tongue-tied. "Do I need to verify it? This is common sense."
"Then before this, have you heard of the secret technique of the living fish? Have you heard of the engraving printing technique that can print a thousand books in a day? If we didn't see it with our own eyes, would we all think that it was fake?" Qin Qiong asked.
Everyone was enlightened. That's right! Before this, everyone knew that the fish that left the pond would die very quickly. A person could only copy one book a day at most. But now, the secret technique of the School of Mo had completely overturned everyone's worldview. It had turned the impossible into possible.
"That was only Mo Jiazi's dirty tricks. But how can a person's strength be manipulated? It is impossible for a young man to be able to lift a thousand Jin. Even an adult can only lift two hundred Jin. Presumably, even the Overlord of Chu could not reach this level. If there really was a young man with such peerless strength, the Old Man would immediately submit a reward for him." Imperial Censor Wang said in disbelief.
"Then what a coincidence. The young man who lifted a thousand Jin is my son, Huai Yu." Qin Qiong flung his robe and said seriously.
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire court was in an uproar. He did not expect that this young man was Qin Huaiyu. A naughty child who had cheated in his studies and was exposed in court had become a peerless young man comparable to the Overlord of Western Chu in the blink of an eye. This turnaround was really too big!
No! He was even more powerful than the Overlord of Western Chu. This young man still had a lot of room for growth.
"Really? Huai Yu really has the ability to lift a thousand Jin! " Li Shimin said in surprise. If Qin Huaiyu really had the strength of a thousand Jin, then wouldn't that mean that the Tang dynasty had another peerless Divine General? A peerless Divine General comparable to the Overlord of Western Chu at Huo Qubing's age.
"Your Majesty must be joking. Lifting a thousand Jin is only a legend. As far as I know, Huai Yu's strength is only around two hundred Jin and can draw two bows. But yesterday, this unfilial son returned home and bragged that he could lift a thousand Jin with one hand at the exhibition. "Qin Qiong said with a bitter smile.
"With one hand?" The entire court was in an uproar.
"That's impossible, right?"
"Even the Overlord of Western Chu could lift a cauldron with both hands."
… … …
"The Minister also thinks that this is impossible and asked my unfilial son. My unfilial son said that he had already mentioned it himself. As for how he did it, he did not say. He even said that if you don't believe me, you can go see for yourself on the second of February. "
"He already did it?"
… … …
Li Shimin was dumbfounded.
Imperial Censor Wang was also dumbfounded.
Even the officials in the court were dumbfounded.
"The Minister also does not understand. But thinking about it, the Minister believes my unfilial son. He does not have the guts to lie to me." Qin Qiong said confidently.
Immediately, many of the ministers understood and snickered.
Cheng Yaojin also stepped forward and said, "Chu Mo also said that he and Yuchi Baolin had personally tried to talk through the city wall. It is indeed possible."
"My unfilial son can't even hide his words. He has already talked about it at home. But they do not know how he did it. The Mo family is still keeping it a secret." Yuchi Jingde also testified.
"In that case, there really is such a thing!" Li Shimin nodded.
"It is still too early to say whether the Mo family can do it or not. Everything will be clear on the second of February." Kong Yingda said. He did not want the Imperial College's students to be accused of lying to the emperor and damage the reputation of the Imperial College.
