Li Zhen ate the two pieces of meat Xun Shifei gave him and said in a deep voice, "Based on the information I know so far, he has no chance."
Xun Shifei tapped the bowl with his chopsticks, making a "ding-ding-ding" sound, as if he was pondering something.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely strange.
After a moment, Xun Shifei smiled: "There are long nights and many dreams, and ascending to the throne is full of variables. There are many such examples in history. Everyone thought they were sure of victory, but one day, an inconspicuous person took advantage of you. Unexpected means replaced you.”
Li Zhen asked: "What methods does the Eighth Prince have?"
Xun Shifei's eyes flashed with sadness: "I'm not sure."
"Then check it out."
Li Zhen followed Xun Shifei's words.
Neither perfunctory nor go into depth.
Li Zhen is not a nerd, he can see the situation clearly. Although it is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, Li Zhen's status and status are unclear. If he cannot accompany the tiger, big trouble will happen.
Science plays a role in promoting the country. But if it affects the change of imperial power, or even the interests of those in power, you will disappear if you are told to disappear.
The most successful institution, the National Academy of Sciences, is the one that has managed to survive this terrible phase without being above the court. It just achieves a transcendent status in a way that is indifferent to world affairs.
But not the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, which is new. And when he appeared on the stage, he was in a shocking and majestic manner.
How many schools are there in the entire Kyushu
Imperial College, Fuxing University, National Academy of Sciences.
And the Kyushu Academy of Sciences squeezed into them, how many people were jealous? How many people are jealous
Li Zhen was surprised that no policy was issued to suppress the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. So even for the future of this group of lovely intellectuals, he must have a helping hand.
Xun Shifei laughed and said: "You will definitely not be able to find out. There is a very smart person in the princes' party who is also your enemy, named Du Taiping. He is a very difficult speculator."
Li Zhen nodded: "The General Administration of Supervision and Administration."
"Well, you beheaded his sister-in-law on Baqiao in front of the whole city."
Li Zhen smiled bitterly. He had no choice but to offend a group of people since he became a princeling. This is called taking sides.
Xun Shifei squinted his eyes, and Li Zhen could feel the fear that he could not help but exude: "This is a very ruthless person, and his position is extremely terrifying. I am one person worth ten thousand people in Kyushu." Above, I supervise the country for the emperor. However, if there is one person with more energy than me, then it is Du Taiping. I supervise the country for the emperor, and he supervises the officials of Jiuzhou."
"Is he more powerful than the prince?"
"Theoretically, yes. All officials in Kyushu, as long as they are officials, must obey his dispatch and arrangements. He is responsible for the promotion, demotion, and even downgrade of officials. Officials in Kyushu may not be afraid of the emperor, but they are absolutely afraid of him. You see, almost the entire government and opposition parties are princelings, but thousands of troops are no match for Du Taiping alone."
Li Zhen's eyes widened: "Why? This is impossible. Even the Qian Mao General Administration is on the same level as him. He is only one grade."
Xun Shifei smiled bitterly and said: "Corruption has been going on for a long time in Kyushu. Who doesn't have a little bit of shit under his butt? The evidence Du Taiping has... makes me feel terrible. If he really dares to cut himself off to fight with me, , whether I can ascend the throne is actually a 50-50 decision. This is the eighth prince’s trump card, and this is the uncertain factor."
Li Zhen looked confused: "Will the emperor just watch this happen?"
Xun Shifei sneered: "This is the second thing I want to tell you."
Li Zhen's face was frozen, and he had a vague premonition that he seemed to be mad: "What?"
"Do you know who gave you the title of No. 1 Scholar in all nine states in the world over the past hundred years? Do you know who corrected your exceptional scores?"
"Of course he is the Emperor of Kyushu, your father."
Xun Shifei shrugged, with a hint of defeat in his eyes: "It's not him."
he
Call him directly
Li Zhen's heart was like thunder in winter, and he was shocked: "Then... who is that?"
"Ye Tianzi."
"What?"
Li Zhen stood up in shock. Although Li Zhen majored in mathematics, physics and chemistry, don't forget that he also got perfect marks in history during the college entrance examination.
People who understand history are people with great political intelligence. The word "Ye Tianzi" is familiar to him.
Because the word corresponding to Emperor Ye is called -Emperor.
There are two emperors in Kyushu? One is the day emperor in the court? One is the secret Ye Tianzi
After Li Zhen asked 'what', he regretted it. He suddenly felt that he seemed to know too much, and the news was too shocking.
Xun Shifei filled a bowl of vegetable and tofu soup, slurping the steaming soup, and said vaguely in as relaxed a tone as possible: "In the deep palace and imperial city, there is a real emperor. His name is Yuan Cheng. He is the leader of all people." In the eyes of a man who only flatters and pleases the great internal official of the day, everyone despises him. But no one knows that at a time and place unknown to the whole world, he is doing something that no one knows. Things you know—play around the entire Kyushu."
Li Zhen was shocked: "Is there such a treacherous thing?"
Li Zhen was really shocked. This kind of eunuch chaos in government obviously only existed in historical legends. There really is such a person. Li Zhen was so shocked that goosebumps arose.
Xun Shifei's voice was trembling, but he deliberately pretended to be relaxed: "He corrected your scores, and he approved the establishment of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. The entire Kyushu is now peaceful and peaceful, and he has single-handedly controlled it."
"Um?"
Li Zhen was confused again, why did Xun Shifei's tone change
Xun Shifei finally couldn't help it any longer, and let out a long sigh, his eyes a little red: "I wish I could execute this traitor who usurped the Xun Dynasty, but I can't. Not only can I not deal with him, I can't expose him either. I I have to help him hide it. And I even want to say that he is a good person."
Li Zhen opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time. Finally, he just asked: "Why?"
"Because the Emperor of Kyushu has no time to care about this country now. From a long time ago, he plunged into his own world and became superstitious about ancient spaceships. It feels absurd and childish to say it, but he worked tirelessly. He didn't He has no intention of becoming the master of the Nine Provinces. He just wants to be a superstitious...scientist in his own world? Haha."
Li Zhen was silent. He didn't know what to say to express his point of view, and he seemed to have no point of view.
Because Li Zhen understands the kind of superstition that Xun Shifei mentioned.
Everyone in the Kyushu Academy of Sciences is the same as Xun Jiayuan, who is obsessed with madness and has no mind to care about other things.
But the problem is...the two angles are different.
At the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, everyone’s main business is to study science. No matter how unconstrained or absurd it is, it is still on the right path.
But Xun Jiayuan is the emperor...
The emperor only needs to govern the country, and does not need him to invent anything.
Very contradictory.
You can't say that Xun Jiayuan was wrong, he just forgot his identity.
Xun Shifei changed the topic and looked at Li Zhen: "These are two things I want to tell you. What do you think?"
When Li Zhen heard this, his expression froze.
