After hearing what Lu Chen said, a look of ecstasy flashed in Li Xiang's eyes.
This was the first time that Lu Chen clearly expressed his support for his fight for the throne.
In Li Xiang's opinion, as long as he has Lu Chen's support, there is nothing he can't do!
Li Xiang then bowed deeply to Lu Chen and said, "I will obey your orders, Master."
Ten days is a long time. For the poor and destitute people, ten days feel like a year.
Ten days can be a very short time, so short that the people in the six departments have not yet figured out the reason, and the time has passed in a flash.
While Li Zhuo and others were still discussing how to delay for another two days, Gondor had already hung banners and set up a battle array at the gate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Gondor understands much more than some people in Da Qi. The real place of knowledge in Da Qi is the Chinese Academy of Sciences, not the Imperial College where those corrupt scholars are.
The rise of Da Qi in just half a year was thanks to Lu Chen and his Chinese Academy of Sciences.
This is also the reason why Gondor tried so hard to enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He wanted to see what kind of magical place this was and what secrets were hidden in it.
No matter what he did before, Lu Chen ignored him, so he challenged him directly at the gate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
I slapped the faces of all the officials in the court of Da Qi at your doorstep. You can't just ignore this kind of thing, right?
When Li Zhuo and others received this news, their heads were buzzing.
Why aren't you playing by the rules? Ten days are up. Shouldn't you come to court to communicate with us civil and military officials?
What are you doing by directly challenging the Chinese Academy of Sciences? Isn't this tantamount to admitting that we cannot solve these difficult problems? You look down on our IQ from the bottom of your heart. It's so humiliating!
"My dear ministers, what should we do now? Immortal Yangxuzi?"
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what else they could do. They guessed that even if they ordered Gondor to come to the court, he would not pay any attention.
The Liao, Jin and Xixia are different. Their envoys really dare to turn against us.
Besides, this is originally a contest of knowledge. Do you intend to use force?
Liang Licang then left the class and said, "Your Majesty, the only solution now is for us to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
"Ah? Am I going too?"
Li Zhuo was somewhat worried. His subordinates had told him that he hadn't solved either of the two problems. What was he going to do? Would it be embarrassing?
But looking at the expressions of the people present, you can tell that if he, the emperor, doesn't go, the people below will definitely not work hard.
These are all shameful things, why should we be the only ones to be embarrassed?
What's with the saying "the master is humiliated and the minister dies"? Stop joking, okay? There's no such saying these days. If the sky falls, the tall person should hold it up.
In the end, even though he was extremely reluctant, Li Zhuo still gritted his teeth and took his ministers out.
In just such a short delay, this matter has already caused a sensation in the city.
Yelu Qi had previously said publicly that their national teacher had come to compete with Lu Chen.
Now the arena for direct competition is actually set up at the gate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This is a direct attack.
Whether it was the peddlers below or the dignitaries above, their anger was rising.
What is arrogance? What is going too far?
"Who the hell is Gondor? Can he even make the Holy Grace Pill? What right do he have to challenge Master Lu?"
"A sorcerer from a remote village wants to challenge the Immortal Master. How can this be? Doesn't the imperial court care about such a person?"
"Let's go, let's go. Although we can't help much, we can go and show our strength. We must let the Imperial Master know that we are with him!"
"Let's go together. Today we will show those barbarians what the Celestial Empire is and what it means to have outstanding people and a beautiful land!"
When Gondor heard his subordinates report that public opinion in the entire capital was surging, he was not worried at all, but laughed heartily.
Yelu Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "National Master, isn't this a bit too much? If this really arouses the ferocity of these people and makes them angry and embarrassed, who knows if they will do something outrageous."
"Haha, viciousness? Do the people of Great Qi have such a thing as viciousness? If they really do, would they still be chased like sheep by the men of Liao and Jin every time they go to war?"
"I came here to eliminate the few remaining fierce spirits in them. If they really dare to attack me, I would actually think highly of them."
"If that time really comes, Liao and Jin will have a reason to send troops! Our soldiers will march all the way south, sweep across the entire Great Qi, kill their army, occupy their land, and plunder their wealth!"
Yelu Qi looked at Gangdu in shock and asked, "The Imperial Master is actually a radical?"
"I wasn't originally a radical, but the various tactics Da Qi has been using lately have forced me to become radical. I have a feeling that if Da Qi continues to develop like this, sooner or later our entire upper echelon will be corrupted. Sooner or later, Da Qi will be able to control us without even having to fight a single soldier."
It has to be said that whether it is Xixia or Liao and Jin, as long as they can occupy a certain territory on this continent, there must be strong men among this ethnic group.
Although limited by the limitations of the times, Gondor could not fully see through the various tactics of Da Qi during this period, but his strong sixth sense told him that he could not allow the enemy to develop so smoothly, even if the enemy was willing to lend him money.
Yelu Qi was somewhat moved and said, "Even so, there's no need for you to risk your life, right? We can still find many excuses to go to war with the Great Qi."
Gondor shook his head and said, "You haven't been back home for a long time, so you don't know what the situation is like back home. Ever since Da Qi proposed a wool-for-grain-for-money cooperation plan with Xixia, many people here have been tempted."
"I heard that Da Qi has already stated that as long as our nobles are willing to live in peace, they will give us the same conditions as they gave Xixia, and they are even willing to make more concessions."
"Although no one says it out loud, many are already tempted. Before I arrived, the king summoned the tribal leaders to discuss this year's southward march, but surprisingly few responded. This is already a serious problem!"
Yelu Qi's expression was somewhat moved. "National Master, you..."
"Stop talking. The king has been so kind to me. It would be worth it even if I die doing something for him!"
After saying this, Gangdor jumped onto the stage. Looking at the angry Daqi people around him, he laughed heartily and said, "I heard that Master Lu has supernatural powers, so Gangdor from Liao has come here to seek advice!"
