Chapter 375 Is it possible that it was written by His Highness?

"Is the intersection blocked?"

Ever since this road was rebuilt with cement at the urging of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, it has become the smoothest and widest road ever.

Normally, there would be no major problems even if four carriages were running side by side.

At this point, and with nothing special happening, how could there be a traffic jam?
Lord Liu frowned and looked towards the intersection ahead, only to see at least ten horse-drawn carriages there, some horizontally, some vertically, and some diagonally. No wonder the city was blocked.

"Could it be that something happened that I don't know about?"

Lord Liu was suspicious and immediately told the coachman:
"Go ahead and see what's going on!"

"Yes!"

The servant did not dare to delay and immediately jumped off the carriage to find the person in front to ask.

Not long after, he returned with the news he had just heard:

"Reporting to the master, it seems that there are several gentlemen in front of you who are almost at the palace, but suddenly they asked the driver to turn around and go back to the palace.
We just happened to run into a few adults who were returning home, and they were blocked here."

"It seems that they are also going to the palace to file a complaint."

After realizing that these people and he had the same goal, Lord Liu sneered, lowered the curtain and sat back in the car:

"I want to see if the writer can escape this time!"

Lord Du: “…”

"Lao Du, why don't you speak?"

While waiting for the carriages to clear at the intersection ahead, Lord Liu kept on babbling and cursing for a long time.

When he realized that the other person in the car seemed a little too quiet, his eyes narrowed instantly:

"You don't want to go to the palace to explain this to His Majesty, do you?"

"That's not it."

Lord Du was silent for a moment, and finally said what he was thinking:
"I just feel that... our current situation is just like those ministers who opposed Zhen Xiang in the article."

Lord Liu: “?”

Nonsense!

He He……

Lord Liu wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time.

After a while, Lord Liu finally spoke again, but his tone was far less confident than before:
"Could it be that Lord Du thinks that the things described in that article could really happen?"

"Who can predict the future?"

Lord Du pursed his lips:
"Before Her Royal Highness's new inventions appeared, could Lord Liu have imagined that Tiansheng would be as grand as it is today?"

"You also said that no one can predict the future!"

Lord Liu was still unwilling to accept the fact that he might really be one of the ministers mentioned in the article, and continued to refute angrily:

"How come you don't know that the contents of the article are all made up by the author himself?

Besides, we have Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess here, so why should we worry about Tiansheng not being able to make further progress in the future?"

"Then has Lord Liu ever thought that this "Great Country" was actually written by Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"This is impossible!"

Lord Liu got furious all of a sudden.

It's not that he couldn't think of this, but he refused to think in this direction subconsciously. After all, if this "Great Power" was really written by Her Royal Highness, what does that mean?
This means that His Highness wants to reform the imperial examination system, but he expects that these people will not agree.

This further illustrates the content of the last part of today's chapter of "The Great Power", which is pointing at the noses of these ministers, calling them frogs in the well, short-sighted, stubborn, stubborn, and traitors who are misleading the country.
It is better to sprinkle rice on ink and let chickens peck at it than to scold them!
"Absolutely impossible!"

Lord Liu spoke harshly, and it was unclear whether he was really refuting Lord Du or simply trying to convince himself:
"Didn't Lord Du ask Her Royal Highness before? Her Royal Highness said in person at the time that the article was not written by her!"

"It's not just one or two days that our prince likes to deceive people."

Lord Du whispered:
"Master Liu, have you still not realized this?"

Master Liu: "..."

Although I really don't want to admit it, I have to say that what the other party said really... makes a lot of sense.

He hunched over dejectedly. After calming down, many things became easier to figure out:

"So, do you think Your Highness has an idea about this so-called cannon?
If that’s the case, then we don’t have to worry…”

"Old Liu!"

Lord Du sighed helplessly:

“Your Highness is the Crown Prince, and if nothing unexpected happens, she will become the Emperor of Tiansheng in the future.

She couldn't always be like this, running to the Ministry of Industry whenever she had free time.

And even if she could, to be honest, Your Highness cannot really live for a thousand years.

Even if she can live to be eighty or ninety, what after that?

It is too foolish to rely on your Highness alone for the development of Tiansheng!"

"Then according to what you mean, we should support His Highness and add all those math, physics and chemistry to the content of the imperial examination. In the future, all scholars in the world will have to learn these math, physics and chemistry?"

Lord Liu still had a look of disapproval written all over his face:
"Even if your highness's concerns are correct, this is an overreaction!"

"What we can think of, can't His Majesty and His Highness think of it?"

After all, he was the first person to calm down from his anger. Lord Du has now figured out a lot of things.

"If this Great Power was really written by Your Highness, do you think Your Majesty would be completely unaware of it?

Since Your Majesty knew about it but still chose to acquiesce, it means that Your Majesty actually agrees with it.

You will see what happens after we enter the palace. Her Highness must have a plan in place!"

"..."

During the time the two were talking, the blocked intersection ahead was finally cleared.

More than a dozen carriages turned around and headed towards the palace.

The difference is that now Lord Liu no longer has the anger that he had before, which made him want to arrest someone and put him in jail immediately.
Instead, his face was filled with confusion and worry.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the palace gate.

Not long after, Yunshu and Emperor Xuanwu in the imperial study also heard from Li Dehai, as expected, the news that the ministers had requested to see them outside the palace.

"It came pretty quickly."

Yun Shu took a sip of the tea she had cooled in advance and sighed:
"It looked like he watched all the updates on the carriage and turned back halfway."

“Only a dozen or so came.”

Emperor Xuanwu, who was standing by, couldn't help but glance at her quietly when he heard this:
"I find it strange that they didn't refute all the last few sentences of your article."

"That's nothing strange."

Having said that, Yun Shu still lowered his eyes and straightened his clothes, looking like he was ready for battle.
