"Master, Master, why can you summon a rainbow?"
"This utilizes the principle of sunlight refraction and scattering."
"Master, why did the two iron balls fall to the ground at the same time?"
"Because the speed at which an object falls has nothing to do with its own weight."
"Master, what can I do with all this I've learned?"
"I can reach the moon in the sky and catch turtles in the five oceans."
"Master, Master, Xiao Ming is draining the water while pumping it out at the same time. Is he crazy?"
"Don't ask. If you ask, I'll just say that this is how I went through life."
When Lu Chen first decided to accept Li Xiang as his apprentice, he was worried that the child would not be able to withstand the high-intensity study and education.
Now it seems that he really underestimated the spirit of these minors.
Children have so many questions all day long, most of them are idle, so they must be given a lot of homework!
Come on, young man, feel the horror of exam-oriented education in advance!
Looking at Li Xiang lying on the table and doing arithmetic problems honestly, Lu Chen felt quite proud.
It turns out that no matter how naughty a child is, when faced with a mountain of homework, he or she will be as obedient and honest as the Monkey King who is pressed under the Five Finger Mountain.
In fact, at the beginning, Lu Chen didn't want to accept this apprentice.
The trouble behind Li Xiang is visible to the naked eye. Now Lu Chen can only be said to be able to protect himself, but he is somewhat unable to protect others.
But on second thought, Li Xiang is now a potential stock. As long as he can be guaranteed to live safely until the age of becoming a vassal, the benefits will be infinite.
Looking back at the history of China in the past, there were only a few wise emperors, and most were idiots. Lu Chen also had the title of Immortal Master, so who knew if Li Zhuo would make some unreasonable demands one day?
Regarding the title of Immortal Master, Lu Chen's attitude has indeed changed from initial resistance to acceptance now.
He found that it seemed easier to achieve his goals by using his identity as a master.
Now he is Schrödinger's master. When there is a need, he can hint to others that he knows magic. When there is no need, he will strongly deny that he knows those weird things.
He felt that he was quite good at playing the adaptive immortal master role.
He didn't want to lose his identity as a master, and he couldn't obey Li Zhuo's orders. So Lu Chen could only find a way out for himself, and Li Xiang was his way out!
Da Qi attaches great importance to the relationship between master and apprentice. Having an apprentice who is a prince is a great benefit no matter how you look at it.
To put it bluntly, if Li Zhuoren were to pass away one day and a new emperor came to power who didn't trust Lu Chen very much, Lu Chen could still go to his apprentice's fiefdom to continue developing and live a carefree life.
It would be even more incredible if his apprentice really became the emperor.
Of course, this is just a beautiful dream. At this stage, Lu Chen is very clear that the conditions for achieving this goal are not yet mature, so he will not take the initiative to mention or participate in such things, and he will even be wary of those who have such ideas.
To be honest, Lu Chen didn't expect that Li Zhuo, as the emperor, would actually agree to Li Xiang's request, and he agreed very readily.
That night, a generous gift was delivered from the palace, saying it was Li Xiang's salary.
The young eunuch even brought Li Zhuo's oral order, saying that from today on, Li Xiang could enter and leave the palace freely, and could even stay overnight at Lu Chen's place.
The news spread quickly and the entire imperial city was in an uproar.
The common people were naturally envious. With the promotion of the Holy Grace Pill, Lu Chen's reputation as an Immortal Master was firmly established. Being able to cultivate alongside the Immortal Master, perhaps one day they could ascend to heaven with him.
But there was constant cursing in the forest. It was obvious that a little prince actually worshipped a Taoist priest as his master. In the eyes of these Confucian disciples, this was definitely a counterattack by Taoism.
Especially Li Xiang’s former teachers, they directly regarded this as a stain in their lives.
Song Qian is a representative of them. As the Prince's tutor, he now teaches at the Imperial College and enjoys a high reputation among the literati.
Everyone said that Mr. Shouzheng had a noble character and extensive knowledge. At first, Song Lian had no intention of serving as an official in the court. It was only after Li Zhuo issued three decrees that he reluctantly accepted the job of teaching the prince.
Song Lian was not a rigid person. He did not have high requirements for the princes and princesses' admission to school.
Even when some children occasionally skipped classes, he turned a blind eye.
But skipping classes and converting to Taoism are two different things. In Song Lian's view, princes and princesses should read books of sages and receive Confucian education. In this way, even if they cannot govern their fiefdoms well after they become vassals, they can at least listen to the advice of their subordinates and not make trouble.
"Learning from a Taoist? This is simply ridiculous! If a prince like this is really allowed to become a fief, who knows what will happen in his fiefdom in the future." Song Lian stood in front of Li Zhuo and roared, "Your Majesty, what can a prince learn from a Taoist? How to make elixirs? When the little prince becomes a fiefdom, will everyone in his fiefdom be expected to support his hobby? If it really comes to that, what kind of scene will his fiefdom be in? To say that bones are exposed in the wild and no roosters crow for a thousand miles is an understatement. I beg Your Majesty to revoke your order!"
Wei Yong, standing by, also stepped forward and saluted, saying, "I second the motion. Your Majesty, please revoke your order."
The other six ministers stood aside and whispered to each other: "Do you understand? Song Lian must have been instigated by Wei Yong." Liang Lichang had a faint smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly twice, and he said this.
