"Protect the emperor!"
After a shrill howl, the guards surrounded Li Zhuo in an instant. Several people holding shields also rushed towards the madman who was holding a kitchen knife and wanted to commit murder without saying a word.
After a chaotic commotion, the murderer was pinned to the ground, still shouting and cursing.
Although Li Zhuo was not injured, he was really scared.
Who could have imagined that with so many people around him, there would still be a villain who wanted to offend the Emperor.
What’s even worse is that the curses this person said were so ugly and disgusting.
"Bring him here, I want to see what kind of lunatic he is!"
At Li Zhuo's command, the man was quickly escorted to him. When everyone saw the man's appearance clearly, they were all stunned.
Wei Yong exclaimed in surprise, "Sun Jijiu, what are you doing?"
Yes, the person who was holding two kitchen knives in his hands and wanted to commit murder in front of the emperor in an extremely arrogant manner was actually the chief academic officer of the Imperial College.
As the most powerful, learned and virtuous chief academic officer in the Imperial College, why would he want to fight like a bandit?
Li Zhuo's mouth twitched. He glared at Sun Jijiu in anger and said, "Mr. Sun, I've heard you're very knowledgeable, and I've always respected you. But what are you doing now? Where are your official etiquette? Do you still want to maintain the dignity of the court? This is totally disgraceful!"
For a great scholar and an official, Li Zhuo's accusation was quite serious.
But Sun Jijiu had a look of despair on his face, tears streaming down his face as he said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I failed to protect the Imperial College and allowed it to suffer such humiliation. I feel so sorry for all the Jijiu of the Imperial College throughout the generations. This lunatic actually blew down the walls of our Imperial College. This act is simply insane. I hope Your Majesty will punish him severely, otherwise it will not be enough to appease the people's anger!"
After these words were spoken, all the officials fell silent.
The shock brought to them by the explosives and cement was so strong that they had no time to care about anything else for a moment. Naturally, they forgot that they were outside the Imperial College and that what had just collapsed was the wall of the Imperial College!
Good heavens, now that they realized what was happening, everyone's expressions became a little strange, as if they had indeed done something stupid.
Li Zhuo also had a headache. He looked at Lu Chen with some resentment.
The same goes for Master Lu. There are so many walls in the capital, why did he choose to blow up the wall of the Imperial College?
But Lu Chen has made contributions to the country after all, and it is estimated that he will come up with more good things in the future, so Li Zhuo can't blame him.
So Li Zhuo could only smooth things over by saying, "It's just a courtyard wall. I'll have someone build you another one."
"Your Majesty, this isn't just a matter of a wall! Broadly speaking, the Imperial College is a place for study and learning. It's a treasure trove of culture and a place of tranquility. Today's sudden explosion has wiped out all the literary spirit here. On a smaller scale, this wall contains articles and poems by many great scholars, all left behind when they studied at the Imperial College. Now, with this sudden explosion, all of these things are gone. This is what hurts me the most, Your Majesty!"
When these words were spoken, even Li Zhuo's expression changed.
Only then did he remember that there were indeed many people's calligraphy works left inside this courtyard wall.
It’s really a pity that it was destroyed just like that.
If those scholars knew about this, who knows how they would call him a tyrant.
"Master Lu, next time we do an experiment, can we not choose the Imperial College?"
Lu Chen shrugged. He didn't expect this to happen, but he didn't care. He might even dare to do it again next time.
Looking at the speechless Li Zhuo, Lu Chen smiled and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, there's a reason for choosing this place as the experimental site. Have you forgotten that we have two purposes for coming here this time, and we haven't seen the results of the second experiment yet?"
"The second experiment, is Master Lu referring to the one with the stone statue? I wonder what kind of magic Master Lu is planning to perform?" Li Zhuo instantly put his depression behind him. At this moment, he was as curious as a primary school student.
When Sun Jijiu saw Li Zhuo's attitude, his heart ached even more.
Since he couldn't rely on the emperor, he could only seek justice on his own.
So he pointed at Lu Chen's nose and cursed: "Evil Taoist! You have ruined my Confucian holy land into this state, what is your intention!"
Well, you are worthy of being a scholar. You put such a big hat on me right away. It's quite overwhelming.
Fortunately, Lu Chen was well prepared. He had been in this world for some time and had realized that the only thing that could defeat magic was magic itself.
So he casually bowed to Sun Jijiu and said, "Sun Jijiu, please, you are so old, please don't be so irritable, it's not good for your health."
Here we come!
Wei Yong, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel his heart pounding when he heard this!
He always felt that Lu Chen's tone of voice was familiar, full of déjà vu. This was probably how this grandson treated him in the past.
Even with such a big problem, he felt it was a bit tricky. Why could Lu Chen still be so calm? Did he really have any good ideas?
Sun Jijiu didn't care about that. He continued to point at Lu Chen's nose and angrily scolded him, "You evil demon, you have to give me an explanation today, or you will be condemned by all the scholars in the world!"
Seeing that Sun Jijiu was getting more and more outrageous, Lu Chen was also a little annoyed. He snorted coldly and said, "An explanation? What explanation? Why did you blow up your wall? Of course it's because your wall has bad feng shui. I'll help you fix it."
