Chapter 149: Ku He is not angry (please subscribe)
"The head of the Six Gates." Emperor Qing looked thoughtful.
"Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding. Who are you? How dare you pretend to be the head of the Six Gates? Are you trying to frame Duke Wu?" Chen Pingping continued.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have ended up like this, after all, it was a bit too obvious, but Shen Qingzhou's status was too high now, he had no choice. Others said they didn't have the strength, but he, Prime Minister Lin, and Princess Qin Ye were the ones who could do it.
"Bah, you dare to insult the Duke of Guo for plagiarism, damn it, I am Deng Zicheng, no, I am not Deng Zicheng, I am not the head of the Six Gates, I just can't stand it.
I didn't put the blame on you. The Duke has made great contributions. How could he accept such an insult from the people of Northern Qi?" Deng Zicheng's incoherent words made everyone guess.
Some senior officials knew that this might be a struggle, but in the eyes of many people, this would not be directed and acted by Shen Qingzhou himself.
Of course, this method is not very clever, and it is very likely a frame-up, but we are all smart people, so we will think more about whether Shen Qingzhou has grasped their thoughts and deliberately cried thief.
It's a confusing account that cannot be calculated. All we can say is that the old fox did sufficient preparation when he made his move.
Shen Qingzhou watched the scene. The God of Detectives and the Four Famous Detectives were suppressed by him, otherwise they would have spoken out.
This was a frame-up, but he didn't know whether Zhuang Mohan's scroll had been swapped or whether he had cooperated.
"Your Majesty, this person's actions deliberately implicated Duke Wu, and he must be investigated." The second prince appeared again, feeling proud inside. The crown prince couldn't say anything now.
To be honest, he was quite surprised by this matter. Wasn't it targeting Fan Xian? Why did it seem to involve Shen Qingzhou? But he understood it as soon as he thought about it: the Six Gates.
"Let's put this man on trial for the time being. Duke Wu has made great military achievements for our Qing Kingdom. There must be some misunderstanding in this matter." With just one sentence, Emperor Qing directly involved Shen Lang in this matter.
"Mr. Zhuang, please take a closer look to see if this calligraphy has been swapped. Mr. Zhuang is the one that you have been questioning." The princess could no longer care about anything as the water was muddy. However, she still had to leave as she could not let anyone else take over the inner treasury.
But she has already started to suspect who replaced the characters. Yingzi and Hong Sixiang, they all have this ability. She has seen the characters with her own eyes before. They are so real, but that was "Climbing the High Tower", not the current "Yellow Crane Tower".
She is also a smart person, so she naturally knows that her affairs may be exposed, otherwise she would not be so precise.
Now it is also a reminder for Zhuang Mohan to continue. This old man is quite confident. She hadn't looked at the words just now. She suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Everyone, I have never encountered such a thing before, and I am a little dazed for a moment. Princess, I am sure that this was done by my master.
No, why is this the one I took? I clearly remember that I didn't take this one. This one shouldn't be here." The princess looked at Zhuang Mohan, then at Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping, and realized that they had exposed her and Zhuang Mohan's affair, and used her scheme to target Shen Qingzhou.
Zhuang Mohan must have been involved. She originally thought that someone had swapped the coins, but from what he said, it seemed that they had just taken the wrong ones, not that the words were fake.
"Mr. Zhuang, don't talk nonsense. You are not saying that Duke Wu's Yellow Crane Tower was also written by your teacher." Chen Pingping continued.
“This.” Zhuang Mohan was a little hesitant, but his performance made too many people whisper that Duke Wu had also plagiarized.
Fan Xian looked at this scene and finally understood why Fan Jian did not come out to speak for him just now, and was quite calm. It seemed that he knew this in advance.
But he didn't understand why they had to target Shen Qingzhou first, could it be that they were just following the flow and adding another trick to the princess's trick? Was it because they were not afraid of their own failure, or they believed in themselves? These people were too thoughtful.
"Mr. Zhuang, I think you are just boasting. Seeing that the literary world in Qing country is on the rise, you are worried that your reputation as a literary giant will be threatened." Suddenly, a middle-aged man stood up and said, "The Minister of Revenue."
"Alas, I couldn't find it. I was so blind and deaf that I took the wrong scroll. The name of the God of War of Duke Wu is known throughout the world. I don't want the world to go to war again, so I don't want to talk about this anymore.
But now that things have come to this, let's be frank. This "Yellow Crane Tower" was originally made by my master in the mansion, but I didn't expect it to be obtained by Duke Wu. "Zhuang Mohan sighed in his heart and lied again.
He had no choice. He cooperated with the princess for Sean, but he was targeting Shen Qingzhou. He received a letter early this morning with the seal of a noble from Northern Qi on it, and he felt ashamed.
However, Shen Qingzhou, who came to Northern Qi, was also an enemy to him, and it would be a good thing to weaken him. He just didn't want the internal strife in Qing to become so serious.
“Plagiarized.”
"I said, he went to war since he was young and never went to school, how come he is so talented?"
"Correct."
Many people were whispering. Chen Pingping looked at Shen Qingzhou. He showed no emotion at this moment. One must admit that it was rare for someone of this age to have such composure.
"Mr. Zhuang, please stop talking nonsense." The second prince was quite cooperative.
"This is extremely absurd. The Crown Prince and the Princess can all testify when Duke Wu wrote this poem. If this kind of poem was written by your teacher, it would have been famous throughout the world long ago." The Queen finally spoke.
Shen Qingzhou found it quite interesting. The Queen even dragged out the Prince to testify for her. However, anyone with a little bit of brains would not fight at this moment.
"I indeed witnessed Duke Wu writing this poem with my own eyes." The Queen looked at the Prince with a bit of surprise, and then realized that she was anxious.
The prince said writing, not acting. It seems that he is afraid of being humiliated. After all, Zhuang Mohan can be regarded as the leader of the world's literati, and he does not want to offend him too much.
"What does Duke Wu have to say about this?" Emperor Qing looked at Shen Qingzhou with interest.
"Ku He, does this matter have anything to do with you?" However, Shen Qingzhou's next words shocked everyone. Shen Qingzhou directly called her Ku He, which surprised everyone.
This is the Grand Master, can we just call him that? A lot of things happened just now, but everyone subconsciously ignored the existence of the Grand Master. But Shen Qingzhou was a bit too much, he had no respect for the Grand Master at all.
"Bold." The leader of the Northern Qi delegation had just opened his mouth, but the God Catcher behind Shen Qingzhou looked at him, and then he saw a burst of blood. Oh no, what kind of attack is this?
"This matter has nothing to do with me." After Ku He spoke, the leader of the delegation felt the blood color fade away. How powerful was the God Catcher that he could suppress him with his power? Lang Tao would definitely not be able to do that.
Everyone was worried. Shen Qingzhou was so disrespectful to the Grand Master, the Grand Master would not take action. This could easily lead to a fight between the four Grand Masters. They were afraid.
But unexpectedly, Ku He was not angry at all. Is she such a good temper? Emperor Qing, Chen Pingping and others were also surprised that Ku He was not angry.
