Calling the iron nails needed for laying railroad sleepers "dragon-locking nails" and describing the construction of the railway as trapping the dragon veins of Da Qi, do these words sound nonsense? Of course they are nonsense!
But are these arguments useful? Actually, they are!
Especially in a feudal dynasty where science was not well developed, if one wanted to throw dirty water on someone, then witchcraft was indeed a good angle of attack.
My friends, please look through history. In this long river called history, are there not many people who have been wrongly killed in this way?
How does that sentence go?
The person who wronged you knows better than you do that you are wronged!
Lu Chen knew that there would be a battle between him and Yang Xuzi sooner or later. It had nothing to do with the horoscope, it was simply because they were enemies in the same industry.
But he didn't expect that Yangxuzi would act so quickly, so decisively, and so cruelly.
They were planning to kill him right from the start! Wasn't this a bit too much of a disdain for him?
He is no longer the newbie who just traveled through time. Now he has a complex network of relationships and holds a certain amount of power.
If you really want to kill him unjustly based on witchcraft, I'm afraid it's not very reliable. At least it's unlikely to do so based on Yangxuzi's words alone.
As expected, Li Zhuo's expression was a little strange. He looked at the map in his hand, then looked at Yang Xuzi and said, "Immortal, are you being too kind?"
"Your Majesty, every word I say is true. This kind of large-scale project is very likely to change the feng shui pattern. Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the Yellow River taking over the Huai River? That was a conflict between dragon veins, and every time it happened, it would damage the vitality of the dynasty."
Li Zhuo thought about it carefully. He had actually seen such incidents as the Yellow River taking over the Huai River in history books, and it was true that every time it happened, it would cause unrest in the world.
Seeing Li Zhuo's expression change, one of the officials suddenly stood up and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, I think what Immortal Yangxuzi said makes a lot of sense. Some things are better believed than not! Therefore, I think we should temporarily postpone the laying of the railway tracks."
Lu Chen glanced at the person who was speaking. If he remembered correctly, this person should be a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Personnel.
Very good, it seems that Yangxuzi has found his allies in the court. His sudden attack today must have been premeditated.
Although the officials who stood up were not as radical as Yang Xuzi, who was determined to kill Lu Chen on the spot, anyone could see that today's court was no longer the court where everyone wanted to make friends with Lu Chen.
It's quite magical. In fact, Lu Chen is also quite curious. What kind of benefits did Yangxuzi offer to complete the exchange of interests?
After the fifth-rank official of the Ministry of Personnel expressed his opinion, many people jumped out to express their support for Yangxuzi's statement.
Lu Chen wrote down these people one by one. From today on, these people will be excluded from the system he has built. The days of making money without doing anything will be gone forever!
As more and more people came out to support Yangxuzi, Li Zhuo gradually felt overwhelmed.
He looked at the tempting plan in his hand, and finally sighed and said, "Master, this is a serious matter. I think we should treat it with caution. It's better to put it on hold for the time being. After all, as you said, the current technology is not mature yet."
Okay, since Li Zhuo has this attitude, Lu Chen will not force it.
As I said, Da Qi is the Da Qi of their Li family, and has little to do with Lu Chen.
So Lu Chen bowed and said, "I am sorry for not thinking carefully. I have made it difficult for Your Majesty."
"What are you talking about, Imperial Master? I know that you are also wholeheartedly serving the country." Li Zhuo's emotional intelligence was fine, so after rejecting Lu Chen's plan, he gave appropriate comfort.
Yangxuzi stood aside with a smug smile on his face, gently twisting his beard with his hand, looking disgusting as if he had everything under control.
The officials who had just stood up to support Yang Xuzi also looked happy. It was obvious that they believed that they had won this political game, or at least had the upper hand.
Everyone knows how important Lu Chen is in Li Zhuo's heart. He is at the peak of his career in the court.
How long has it been since Li Zhuo denied Lu Chen's opinion?
In the eyes of many officials, this was not just a simple victory, but also proved that Lu Chen was not invincible. In Li Zhuo's heart, Lu Chen was important, but definitely not the most important.
In game terms, they saw Lu Chen's health bar.
As long as there is a health bar, it will be easy. Just grind it down slowly.
As long as they persevere, sooner or later they will be able to remove the golden body from Lu Chen, bring him back to the level of mortals, and then defeat him with sufficient experience.
But is Lu Chen the kind of person who can suffer a loss?
The answer is obviously no. Just because he doesn't speak doesn't mean he won't fight back.
You, Yangxuzi, have allies in the court, but don’t I, Lu Chen, have any?
Just when some officials were secretly rejoicing, a rather angry voice suddenly shocked everyone!
"Your Majesty, the construction of the railway is a state secret. How could Yangxuzi see the blueprint?!"
Wei Yong stepped forward, staring at Li Zhuo who was sitting above him with flaming eyes.
When Li Zhuo saw Wei Yong like this, he shuddered for no reason.
Seeing this, the surrounding civil and military officials also avoided the other party's scorching gaze, while shouting in their hearts: "Here it comes! He appears! Wei Yong's combat form has been activated!"
"If I remember correctly, Lu Chen submitted a memorial, right? Yang Xuzi, a layman, has no right to review the memorials of the officials? What does he want to do? Who gave him this right? Is this evil Taoist priest planning to bring disaster to the country? I suggest that such a rebellious person be executed!"
"I heard he claims to have the secret of immortality. Then chop him into several pieces and let us see how he can achieve immortality!"
Lu Chenchen silently gave Wei Yong a thumbs up in his heart. It turned out that at this time, his cheap father-in-law was still the one he could rely on.
"Don't worry, father-in-law. I will definitely treat Cai'er well in the future!"
Wei Yong is worthy of being the Imperial Censor, he always grasps the key points.
During this period, Yangxuzi often entered the palace for the first time and had become a favorite in the eyes of the emperor. Occasionally, the emperor would chat with Yangxuzi about state affairs, and when he was not particular, he would just show him the memorials.
It would be fine if no one pursued this kind of thing, but once it gets escalated it will be troublesome!
What a coincidence, Wei Yong is the one who likes to exaggerate things.
Li Zhuo's mouth twitched slightly as he said, "Lord Wei, you're being too kind. This was just a preliminary plan, and it's already been rejected. What's the big deal?"
"Your Majesty, this is wrong. The Imperial Master's map involves the major fortresses of the Great Qi. This is already a military secret. How can we show it to irrelevant people at will? I suggest silencing him!"
Cui Shanzhan stood up staggeringly and said something shocking!
