As soon as the emperor said this, all civil and military officials in the court looked at Zhao Hai, including Yang Guozhong, the left prime minister.
When he learned that Li Mo had been sued, Yang Guozhong's first reaction was that the three daughters of the Zhou family were about to be killed. They had just gotten married and were involved in such a big event.
Fortunately, we broke off the engagement before, otherwise it would most likely be our son who would get into trouble.
At this time, he was completely watching the fun.
"It's done!"
Jiang Yunyi and Li Chaowei, who were kneeling in the main hall, couldn't help but look forward to Zhao Hai's answer.
"Your Majesty... The Journey to the West is not written by me."
However, as Zhao Hai's voice sounded the next moment, Jiang Yunyi and Li Chaowei were stunned on the spot and could not recover for a long time.
Didn't he do it?
How is this possible!
The message I received was obviously made by Zhao Hai, why is this happening...
"Oh? You didn't do it?"
Li Longji calmly asked again.
As the emperor, no matter what the outcome of this kind of thing is, he will not be too surprised.
"This report to Your Majesty is indeed not the work of a humble minister."
"Your Majesty... It's impossible... Li Mo doesn't have that kind of talent at all. The Legend of Journey to the West is clearly the work of Zhao Hai. He must have benefited from denying it now..."
After regaining consciousness, Jiang Yunyi and Li Chaowei were so anxious that they kowtowed as if they were pounding garlic and could no longer care about anything else.
Their confidence in filing a lawsuit lies in Zhao Hai. Once their confidence is gone, not only may they fail to sue Li Mo, but the two of them may also be accused of falsely accusing an official of the imperial court.
"Is that so? You used to be a copywriter at Li Mo Book Club?"
Li Longji glanced at Zhao Hai and ignored them.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen did work at Moran Publishing House before, and he did have conflicts with Li Mo, but Wei Chen can guarantee that The Legend of Journey to the West was written by Li Mo."
Zhao Hai was as determined as ever.
He was fully prepared before going to the temple.
The purpose this time was to let Jiang Yunyi and Li Chaowei know that their lord was not someone they could afford to offend.
"Okay! I already know, pass it on to Li Mo and Zhou Yuan!"
Li Longji thought for a moment and said.
"It's passed...Li Mo...Zhou Yuan..."
Gao Lishi's voice is extremely penetrating, and as expected, he must be a warrior with a high level.
After about a while,
Zhou Yuan and Li Mo entered the Jinluan Palace, performed the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and then stood up.
"Your Majesty, I have a secret report."
To the surprise of all the ministers, before the emperor could speak, Zhou Yuan, the Minister of Rites, knelt on the ground again.
"Oh? What do you want to report?"
"Your Majesty, Li Mo and Zhou Yurou have been expelled from the Zhou Mansion before and have nothing to do with the Zhou Mansion now. If what the Journey to the West Shi'e faxed is not Li Mo's crime of underestimation, I also implore your Majesty.
Cure Li Mo for his serious crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Zhou Yuan spoke in a low voice without looking at Li Mo next to him.
He also didn't know what Zhao Hai had denied just now.
"Oh? You have expelled Li Mo and Zhou Yurou from the Zhou Mansion?"
Li Longji's expression moved slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yuan more.
After hearing this, the other ministers in the Jinluan Palace were unmoved, but in their hearts they had a look of contempt.
Although Zhou Yuan may sound nice, he is taking the blame and annihilating relatives for the sake of justice, but in fact he is exonerating himself. My uncle and his daughter don't want it even if they say they don't want it. There are really not many people who can do that.
"Your Majesty, this is the case."
"Okay! Li Mo, let me ask you, were you the one who wrote Journey to the West?"
Li Longji looked at Li Mo.
"This report to Your Majesty was made by a humble minister alone."
Li Mo was neither humble nor arrogant, looking directly at Li Longji.
This is the first time Li Mo has met the emperor. In fact, if Li Longji hadn't been obsessed with Yang Yuhuan's beauty and done many stupid things, he would be considered a very talented and wise man.
"Your Majesty, this is impossible... Li Mo is lying! With his talent, it is impossible to create Journey to the West."
Jiang Yunyi and Li Chaowei spoke anxiously again.
Zhou Yuan on the side also glanced disdainfully,
He also believed that this was Li Mo's final struggle.
"Have you heard, some people say that you have no talent, so... I saw the bright moon hanging high on the top of Lishan Mountain a few days ago, which was very artistic! How about you write a poem with the bright moon as the eye of poetry?
If you can write a poem on the spot that will convince everyone, not only will I not punish you, but I will also reward you generously. But if you can't do it, then don't blame me for being unkind."
Just now when Li Mo was looking at Li Longji, Li Longji also looked at Li Mo up and down.
In fact, Li Longji quite admires Li Mo at the moment.
Li Mo has an outstanding appearance, and he is also his brother's grandson and his grandnephew. It has been a long time since the Li family had such a descendant with both talent and appearance. If he is really talented, he must not be buried here.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yunyi and Li Chaowei, who were kneeling on the ground, did not know what the emperor was thinking at this time.
If they had known, they would never have chosen to file a complaint.
Originally, Li was unknown and out of the emperor's eyes, but this incident made Li Longji pay attention to this descendant of the Li family.
"That's a good idea!"
All the civil and military officials in the palace began to discuss in low voices.
Whether a person is talented or not cannot be proved by the original questions. Only this kind of temporary questions can be verified.
"A temporary question? Okay! Let's see how you, Li Mo, respond."
Jiang Yunyi and Li Chaowei couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
This time Li Mo must have shown his true form. His ability to compose poems on the spot is as good as the heavens. It's not like they haven't read the poem manuscripts from Mo Ran Bookstore before, each one is worse than the last.
"With the bright moon as the theme?"
Li Mo thought for a while, nodded in agreement and immediately recalled the famous works on the earth related to the moon.
Soon, a famous poem appeared in front of me.
"When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine."
After a pause, Li Mo read out the first sentence.
Huh?
As the first line of the poem was read out, the entire Jinluan Palace fell silent, and many civil servants had expressions of surprise on their faces, even Zhou Yuan was no exception.
This poem opens with a clear title and outlines a scene of drinking alone under the moon, which is truly wonderful.
With such a level of skill, I am afraid that even those number one scholars will not be able to achieve it.
"Not bad, not bad, what about the back?"
On the dragon throne, Li Longji's eyes also lit up.
He is also a person who loves poetry, so he can naturally appreciate these two sentences.
Looking at the entire court, there are probably not many people who can do it. What is even more valuable is that Li Mo thought about it for a moment after getting the question. Who else can do it?
"I don't know what year it is in the palace in the sky. I want to ride the wind back, but I'm afraid that it's too cold up there in the beautiful buildings and jade buildings. I dance to clear the shadows, and it doesn't feel like I'm in the human world.
Turn to the Zhu Pavilion, lower the Qihu, the light will make you sleepless.
There should be no hatred, why should we say goodbye forever? People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is something that is difficult to accomplish in ancient times. I hope that people will live long and share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart."
