This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 290: Hao Yi's Disciple
In the main hall, the eldest prince sternly accused the world's genius!

Li Fei stood there calmly, his expression unchanged.

This calmness alone impressed many ministers present.

No matter how extraordinary a genius he is, he is only 18 years old, and it is his first time to go to the palace to meet the emperor. It is amazing that he can have such concentration!
These ministers could not help but recall the scene when they first went to the palace to meet the emperor. Even if they did nothing but just stood there, they were so nervous that their hands and feet became weak.

If I were to be accused in this way by the Crown Prince, I would probably be so frightened that I would kneel down on the spot, completely at a loss!
"Why do you say that, brother?"

The prince spoke first.

The eldest prince turned around and looked at the crown prince, and asked, "Prince, before you recommend talents to your father, don't you do a thorough investigation first?"

The prince smiled coldly: "What did my brother find out?"

The eldest prince looked at the emperor on the throne:

"Father, as far as I know, this Li Fei has a master. His master is called Hao Yi, who once publicly robbed the execution ground and kidnapped the traitor who had colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country! And the kidnapped traitor is also related to Li Fei, she is his master's aunt.

Not only that, the accomplice who robbed the execution ground with Hao Yi that day also hijacked the special train afterwards, killing more than a dozen court officials and dozens of guards! "

Hearing this, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.

Collaboration with the enemy and selling out the country is not a minor crime, and such things as public robbery of executions have only occurred a few times in decades.

This is especially true for something like killing more than a dozen imperial officials!
When these things are added together, it's pretty bad.

Li Fei remained calm when hearing such accusations.

He had thought of this immediately after receiving the note last night.

This is also the most obvious and most vulnerable point in him.

But there was no need for him to defend himself at this time.

The prince laughed and said, "I thought it was something else, it turns out to be this."

The eldest prince looked at him and asked, "Why, Prince, do you think this is nothing?"

"Of course!"

The prince raised his voice, "According to the law, unless it is treason, there will be no crime of implicated. If Li Fei is really guilty, why do you need me to report him now? He should have been imprisoned in Datong Prefecture! Does my brother think that the entire Datong Prefecture and the entire Wu'an University have been deceived?"

The eldest prince also raised his voice: "The Crown Prince's words are sharp, but they can't change the fact that this man is indeed a traitor! With such a master, who can guarantee that he is truly innocent? Guarantee that he will not collaborate with the enemy and sell out the country in the future?"

"Huh? That's ridiculous!"

The prince's words were no longer polite. "I would like to ask everyone in the palace, with the greatest talent in history, would he still lack resources? Is there anything that the enemy country can give that my Great Blue Dynasty cannot? How could such a person be bribed by the enemy country? What can the enemy country use to bribe him?!"

Many ministers nodded.

Indeed, such talents would never lack for cultivation, and there would be many people vying to recruit them.

Look, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already trying to win him over.

Then what is the need to collaborate with the enemy and sell out the country?

Could it be that Li Fei still wants to overthrow the Great Lan Dynasty and become the emperor himself?

"So the prince judges a person's character by their talent. As long as their talent is high enough, there will be no problem."

The eldest prince responded without any fear:

"Li Fei's master, Hao Yi, broke through to the Dao Foundation Stage at the age of 20, and was on the candidate list for the Fengyun General Ranking at the age of 23. His talent was not much worse than Li Fei's. But what happened in the end? Didn't he also become a traitor who ignored the law and despised the country's prestige?"

"So my brother wants to kill me today."

The prince sneered.

As long as there is no direct evidence to prove that Li Fei is a traitor, he cannot be convicted based solely on his relationship with Hao Yi and Shangguan Xiao.

Therefore, if the eldest prince jumps out and says these things now, at most it will only hurt his heart.

But it would be hard to say if he was killed in front of the emperor.

The prince asked for rewards for Li Fei and Ming Qi, which was clearly an attempt to win them over and to pave the way for them.

As a Buddhist disciple of Pudu Temple, Mingqi is unlikely to enter the system in the future.

Therefore, the prince's move was mainly to pave the way for Li Fei.

Seeing that the emperor is very pleased, he might let Li Fei rise to a high position!
But now he was interrupted by the eldest prince.

If things go wrong, Li Fei’s future might be completely ruined by a single word from the eldest prince!

"The Crown Prince recommended talents to the Emperor, and he wanted a generous reward without any contribution. I am only trying to make the Emperor understand more clearly."

The eldest prince did not respond to the prince, but bowed and spoke to the emperor.

The prince immediately bowed and said:

"Father, Hao Yi has been a lecturer at a military academy in a certain place for more than 30 years. He has taught more than just Li Fei, and he has never publicly accepted Li Fei as his apprentice. Li Fei and Hao Yi are just an ordinary teacher-student relationship."

The eldest prince wanted to punish Li Fei, and he had to admit that it was indeed effective, so he immediately changed his strategy and cleared the relationship between Li Fei and Hao Yi.

It is true that Hao Yi never publicly accepted Li Fei as his apprentice, and he did not even meet Li Fei when he first came to Datong Prefecture, just to avoid implicating Li Fei in the future.

Lord of Heaven and Earth, personal teacher.

The master-disciple relationship in this era is very serious, and some masters and disciples are even more serious than father and son!

So whether Li Fei is Hao Yi's apprentice or just a student taught by Hao Yi, these two are two completely different concepts.

If it is as the prince said, Hao Yi has been a lecturer at the Military Academy for decades, and Li Fei is just one of his students, then this matter is not so bad.

"Li Fei, do you have anything to say?"

On the Danbi, the emperor looked at Li Fei, who had remained calm from beginning to end, and suddenly asked.

Li Fei first bowed to the prince:
"Thank you for defending me, Your Highness, but there are some things that Your Highness does not know."

The prince's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he turned around abruptly to look at Li Fei.

Li Fei saluted the emperor again and said loudly:

"Li Fei, a disciple of the Tiangang Sect and a disciple of Hao Yi, greets His Majesty!"

He spoke calmly, but with determination.

Wow—there was an uproar in the hall.

Not only did the Crown Prince change color, but even the Eldest Prince looked surprised.

Li Fei actually admitted it!
The emperor leaned forward slightly, as if to get a better look at this 'first in history':
"The prince defended you, saying that you were just Hao Yi's student. Why did you publicly admit this master-disciple relationship?"

Li Fei's tone remained unchanged as he spoke word by word:

"My teacher is like a teacher and a father to me. I will always remember the love and kindness of your teaching and cultivation. I will never forget it!"

He doesn't care about enormous wealth or rapid advancement in career.

Today, he was going to tell everyone in the court who his master was!
There was another uproar in the hall.

Li Fei not only acknowledged his master-disciple relationship with Hao Yi, but also emphasized his feelings for Hao Yi!
Does this number one person in history really not care about his future at all?

"Then do you know that your mentor is a traitor for openly robbing the execution ground and ignoring the law?"

The eldest prince turned around and questioned Li Fei loudly.

Li Fei stood up, raised his head and looked at the eldest prince:

"I only know that my master's aunt Shangguan Xiao was framed by a villain and was slandered as collaborating with the enemy and treason. My master was forced to save her. Although it is unacceptable under the law, it is understandable."

wow——

There was another uproar in the hall.

Li Fei actually overturned the fact that the case had already been closed in public!

This peerless genius is so arrogant. Is he really so conceited and fearless?
"presumptuous!"

The eldest prince pointed at Li Fei and shouted at him, a murderous aura filling his face:

"You really have evil intentions! Shangguan Xiao's case, every single one of them, has solid evidence, and you still dare to say that she was framed? Li Fei, do you still have the law of the court in your eyes?!"

Li Fei was not afraid at all and sneered, "I just arrived in Lanling City yesterday. Your Highness is so clear about a case far away in Datong Prefecture. Could it be that Your Highness personally tried this case?"

He actually dared to question the eldest prince?

Many ministers present looked at Li Fei with incredible eyes, thinking that he might have gone crazy.
The eldest prince was also stunned. He didn't expect Li Fei to dare to speak to him like this.

However, Li Fei's questioning did hit the point. It is indeed intriguing that you, a prince, are so concerned about a case far away in Datong Prefecture.

Without waiting for the eldest prince to explode, Li Fei continued:

"A former lecturer at Wu'an University was imprisoned for colluding with Western spies. He had confessed in prison before, accusing Xu Jing, a former professor at Wu'an University, of deliberately colluding with Western spies in order to frame others and pave the way for the subsequent destruction of Tiefengmen. All of this was recorded in Datong Prefecture, and the garrison commander of Datong Prefecture, Lord Bian Jingru, also reported the matter to the court in detail, and accused all officials of the investigation team in Feng Province, as well as Xu Jing and others!"

He was certainly not a stubborn person who would dare to confront a powerful prince in such an occasion.

He said that Shangguan Xiao was framed. If it was just his voice, then he was just talking nonsense and ignoring the law. He was really looking for death!
But this matter was endorsed by Datong Prefecture. At the beginning, Bian Jingru directly reported to the court, accusing the provincial capital and Xu Jing and others, and openly tore their relations apart.

Under such circumstances, when Li Fei raised this matter, the nature of the matter was completely different.

People would not think that Li Fei was making up stories and provoking the prince, but would immediately think of party disputes.

Combined with the question Li Fei asked the eldest prince just now, he only arrived in Lanling City yesterday, but the eldest prince knew so much about a case far away.

This actually explains a lot of problems.

At the beginning, the master of the Tiger Blade Gang described Li Fei as a "calm madman".

Translated it means - think everything through before going crazy!

He has the title of "the first in history", is endorsed by Datong Prefecture and Wu'an University, and has a prince to defend him.

Li Fei didn't think anything would happen to him today.

The worst that could happen is that the emperor would hate him and he would lose his wealth and future.

But he really doesn't care about that.

"Prime Minister, is there such a thing?"

The emperor looked at Ye Ze'an.

Ye Ze'an nodded: "Yes, this matter was indeed reported to the cabinet at the beginning."

“Who was in the cabinet who handled this case originally?”

The emperor continued to ask.

A cabinet minister immediately stepped out of the queue:
"Your Majesty, I was the one who was in charge of handling this case."

This man's name is Duan Qi, and he is a member of Zhige Pavilion.

Shangguan Xiao was the head of Xingcheng Zhigeyuan, and the deceased Zhang Zongyang was the helmsman of the Zhige General Hospital, so after the case was finally reported to the cabinet, it was handled by the Zhige Pavilion.

"Duan Qi."

The emperor recognized the cabinet minister and asked, "How did you deal with it in the end?"

Duan Qi: "Your Majesty, this case involves the provincial inspector, the survival of a martial arts sect, and the establishment of a new university. I dare not make a unilateral decision, so I have reported the case to the Prime Minister.

Finally, the Prime Minister decided that the evidence in this case was irrefutable, and before Datong Prefecture submitted new evidence, the case would be decided based on the result that Shangguan Xiao colluded with Western spies and murdered Zhang Zongyang."

The emperor looked at Li Fei again:

"Li Fei, did you hear that?"

Li Fei: "I heard it."

"You're still not convinced?"

The emperor continued to ask.

In an instant, a huge pressure like a mountain appeared in the hall!

Who would dare to disobey something that has been decided personally by the Prime Minister and formally approved by the Central Cabinet?

Li Fei bowed and said word by word:

"I believe Shangguan Xiao would never be a traitor to his country, let alone murder his own father! Your Highness, please reward me. I do not ask for any reward, I only ask the cabinet to review this case!"

There is another chapter around 11 o'clock at night
