Chapter 293 If You Lose, It Is a Serious Crime to Defraud the King (Part [-])
Chapter 291

"Master Zhao, in Wang's words, there is no intention of humiliating him. Wang is a junior, but he is kindly reminding that this place is above the imperial court after all. Grassmen like Wang know all about it. You should be cautious in your words and deeds, how dare you yell at the court like this..." Wang Yang still had a smile on his face, as if in a calm posture.

It's hard to find any mistakes, but in Zhao Tingzhi's eyes, it's just a frankly provocative provocation.

"Zhao Xuezheng, please pay attention to your words and deeds. Today is His Majesty's birthday." At this time, a somewhat old voice sounded, but it was the Prime Minister Fan Chunren.

Fan Chunren is the second son of Fan Zhongyan, a famous Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. He was a Jinshi during the Renzong period of Song Dynasty. He has lasted four dynasties so far, and his prestige is extremely high. Now he is the leader of the old party.When he opened his mouth, no matter how angry Zhao Tingzhi was, he couldn't help but clear his mind.

Zhao Ting subconsciously looked in the direction of Yu'an, and saw that Tianzi sitting behind Yu'an was looking at him with burning eyes, and his eyes were full of coldness.

Even if he still felt that the emperor was young, but if he offended the emperor on the emperor's birthday, that would definitely be the way to go into the latrine with a lantern and seek death.

Zhao Tingzhi took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and bowed to the emperor. "Your Majesty is impolite, please punish me..."

"...Zhao Qing's family, since you think that Mr. Wu Shan is cheating and deceiving me, how can you prove that Mr. Wu Shan is deceiving me?" Instead, he asked a question that was difficult for Zhao Tingzhi to answer for a while.

Zhao Tingzhi rolled his eyes and replied in a high voice. "Your Majesty, I think that Xu Shilang has already talked about the difficulty of printing "The Analects of Confucius" before, which is enough to see this person talking nonsense."

"It seems that Zhao Qing's family doesn't believe it. How can Mr. Wu Shan prove that you can print "The Analects of Confucius" in just five days without preparing an engraving?" Zhao Xu smiled and looked at Wang. Yang nodded slightly.

Well, the Great Song Emperor really wants to see, if he is only from the perspective of an arbitrator, then what kind of methods Mr. Wu Shan will use to prove, or to say, convince the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, this matter is naturally not difficult." Wang Yang answered with a smile after cupping his hands in Zhao Xu's direction. "I don't know what your majesty wants to print, but give it to Wang. If it is about the same number of words as that of "The Analects of Confucius", you can dedicate it to your majesty within five days."

"Hmph! That's nice to say, how can you know if you have already prepared the engraving." Zhao Tingzhi, who hadn't retreated yet, couldn't help but sneer and said.

"Enough!" Rao Zhao Xu kept reminding himself to maintain the majesty of the superior, but now he finally couldn't suppress his violent temper, why is this Zhao Tingzhi so annoying, always saying here The sarcasm is not so much saying that he is insulting Wang Yang, but that this guy is pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

Zhao Xu slapped Yu An fiercely, stood up suddenly, stared at Zhao Tingzhi with his eyes like knives and shouted sharply. "Zhao Tingzhi, what do you mean?"

At this moment, there was a dead silence in the hall that had been whispering before.Zhao Tingzhi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, but when he saw Wang Yang beside him, he couldn't help but stiffen his neck. "Your Majesty, what I said is a bit harsh, but who can guarantee that this person will not do this?"

Zhao Xu's lungs almost exploded from Zhao Tingzhi's anger, but at this moment, after entering the main hall, he had always seemed very polite and reasonable, and the talented Wang who seldom spoke cleared his throat at this time. "Your Majesty, please appease your anger. Since Mr. Zhao has repeatedly questioned and accused Wang of deceiving the king, how about Wang wanting to ask His Majesty to be an arbitrator?"

"Is it Wang who is greedy for false fame and wants to deceive the king, or is this Zhao Xuezheng of Guozixue who can't see that I have virtuous and talented people in the Song Dynasty who are valued by His Majesty, and intends to flatter the superior and bully the inferior, and reject others... "

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden gasp of cold air. Even those officials like Xu Daguan, Li Gefei and others who had a good impression of Wang Yang couldn't help but take a breath.

Before, this kid seemed harmless to humans and animals, but now his mouth is turned upside down.It seems that today, between him, Wang Wushan, and this Zhao Xuezheng, there is already an endless situation.

Zhao Tingzhi's eyes widened suddenly, but he also knew that the emperor who had been angered by him was still staring at him, and now he could only hold back his anger, the veins on his forehead almost burst.

And many old party officials are very eager to jump out and fight with Wang Yang, but they all understand that today is a hot day, even if he is not in charge, but the empress dowager is not here today, this is the emperor's birthday banquet, Anyone who dares to mess with the emperor is definitely looking for shit.

"Hmm..." Zhao Xu looked at Wang Yang's calm and calm appearance, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised. "Since sir is sure of this, I will be the arbiter today."

"I'm going to be in this hall today, at my birthday banquet. Let's see if Wang Wushan is greedy for fame and wants to deceive the king, or you, Zhao Tingzhi, can't see that I, Song Dynasty, are wise and wise. Gentlemen are what I value..."

As soon as this remark came out, several ministers of the old party who were quite close to Zhao Tingzhi couldn't bear it any longer, and came forward to persuade him.

But they were all scolded one by one by Zhao Xu until they rolled their eyes and retreated resentfully.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Tingzhi knew very well in his heart that he had already been roasted on the fire, even if he retreated at this time, would there be a way out?

Retiring now is not the same as admitting that Wang Yang's criticism of him is right, and he will have no shame in the officialdom of Song Dynasty in the future.

I'm afraid that I can't even keep the position of Xuezheng of Guozixue, because Guozixuexuezheng not only needs to be rigorous in academic research, but also bears the burden of recommending talents to the court.

However, Wang Yang blamed himself for the crime that Zhao did not see that the virtuous and talented people of the Song Dynasty were valued by His Majesty.How can such a person still serve as a teacher of Guozixue?
So now, Zhao Tingzhi knew that he could only bite the bullet, and he knew that he could only bet his entire net worth. Otherwise, how could he prove his innocence?

"I think I have a clear conscience. Since Your Majesty is willing to be the arbitrator, well, if the minister really loses, then the minister will not dare to sit on the corpse and beg for the bones. And if this son is really greedy for fame and wants to deceive the king I don't know what His Majesty is going to do with it?"

Zhao Xu sized up Zhao Tingzhi who was determined. "Oh? It's rare for Zhao Qing to be so decisive. Anyway, I don't know what Mr. Wu Shan is betting on?"

"Since it was Zhao Xuezheng who made the bet, how dare I ask Zhao Xuezheng, what do you think Wang should bet on?" The smile on Wang Yang's face became brighter and brighter.

In Zhao Tingzhi's eyes, it was definitely full of deep malice.Zhao Tingzhi laughed, but there was no smile at all. With dead fish eyes, he stared at Wang Yang viciously. He looked like a gambler who has already bet on the last loincloth.

"If you lose, you will commit a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. You will be assassinated and serve as a frontier soldier. You will not be able to take the imperial examination in this life."
