Sun Jijiu was really furious. He looked at Lu Chen angrily and wondered how there could be such a shameless person in the world?
This group of people ran to the outside of their Imperial College and started digging holes and blowing up walls, which already made Sun Jijiu very dissatisfied.
He now really dislikes Lu Chen in every way.
However, there was one thing that he was very satisfied with, that was that the statue of the Master really grew out of the soil, which was indeed a very magical thing.
Although the courtyard wall collapsed and many famous people's calligraphy works were lost, he could barely accept it if the Imperial College could have an additional statue of the Master.
Sun Jijiu, who was originally standing in the crowd, felt quite proud when he saw so many people coming here today.
The Imperial College is the Imperial College, and its status in the entire scholar community is high. If it is blessed by this statue, it will not be impossible for them to recruit talents from all over the world in the future.
Yes, the Chinese people attach so much importance to education that even in ancient times, there was competition for students.
If there were such a statue of the Master in this place, then their Imperial College would be the best teaching institution in the world.
Even Sun Jijiu has started to consider how to use this advantage for publicity in the past two days.
But who would have thought that just when he had typed out the draft of the plan, Lu Chen told him that this statue was not going to be placed in their Imperial College. How could this be possible!
If the statue was really taken away, then those famous calligraphy and paintings on his courtyard wall would be destroyed in vain!
Thinking of this, before Li Zhuo could speak, Sun Jijiu stepped forward impatiently and said, "Wait a minute, Your Majesty, since this thing is at the gate of our Imperial College, it should remain there. The Master was moved by the diligent study of our students, which led to this miracle."
"What's more, our Imperial Academy, as the official school of the imperial court, oversees the six schools. It is a gathering place for the world's cultural talents. Leaving the Master's statue here will not disgrace his status. Moreover, if the Master's statue remains here, it can also encourage students to work hard and strive for excellence, so that they can serve the emperor after they have completed their studies. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
Li Zhuo thought about it and felt that the statue of the Master should indeed be placed in a place like the Imperial College, which would be more appropriate.
But before he could express his thoughts, someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Academy is not the only official academy in the court. Our Hongwen Academy and Chongwen Academy also study Xu Wen. Moreover, the Master always emphasized self-discipline and the restoration of propriety. Our two academies also have in-depth research on etiquette."
Sun Jijiu's eyes almost popped out. He never expected that at such a critical moment, the people from the Second Hall would jump out to sabotage!
He also admitted that there had always been conflict between the Imperial College and the Second Academy, mainly due to their conflict over the source of students.
But he never expected that the Second Hall, which had always been suppressed by them in the past, would suddenly jump out and compete with them at this time.
At this moment, Sun Jijiu really wanted to ask, "Do you have the strength to compete with us?"
He felt that if both sides were to fight, the winner would definitely be their Imperial College.
But after this incident, I always feel a little disgusted.
"Your Majesty, Lord Cao has also said that the Second Academy focuses on etiquette, while our Imperial Academy is the place for true learning. We teach how to govern the country and how to help the Emperor govern the people. Honestly, our Imperial Academy is more important, and the Master's statue should be placed here."
"Sun Jijiu is wrong. We also have many great scholars in our Second Academy, and we have also made in-depth research on the classics, history, and literature. Since the Imperial College is already a cultural treasure, why not let us take advantage of this opportunity and share in its glory?"
Sun Jijiu's face fell at that moment. He finally realized that Lord Cao was determined to fight him to the end today.
He was so angry. Why did such an accident happen when it was something he could handle?
Thinking of this, he glanced towards Lu Chen with a bad expression.
He felt that since Lu Chen chose to do this kind of thing outside the gate of their Imperial College, the statue of the Master must be left here by default. This was reasonable.
Now you actually say you want to take the statue away. Look at what you are doing, is this humane?
"What's wrong, Sun Jijiu? You seem to be looking at me with some hostility. Did I do something to make you unhappy?"
Of course Lu Chen knew that doing this would offend Sun Jijiu, and he did it on purpose.
"You're saying it as if if I don't do this, Sun Jijiu will think I'm a good person."
Lu Chen remembered clearly how Sun Jijiu dealt with him two days ago.
He is a narrow-minded person to begin with, and this Sun Jijiu actually wants to kill him. If he doesn't teach the other party a lesson today, how will he survive in the future?
Looking at the nonchalant expression on Lu Chen's face, Sun Jijiu suddenly realized that the other person was not afraid of him at all.
But it was impossible for him to speak to Lu Chen in a nice tone or even in a servile manner. After all, he was the chief academic officer of the Imperial College and he had to maintain his reputation.
After pondering for a moment, he simply snorted and said, "Master Lu, you used the Master's statue to deliberately provoke a fight between our Imperial College and the Second Academy. What exactly is your intention?"
As usual, he just starts putting the blame on me.
