Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

The aircraft that Li Xin promised can take off and land on flat ground, and can also adjust the flight altitude, has successfully demonstrated its capabilities in full view. Although Situ Liang hadn't flown a hot air balloon a few times, his driving skills were definitely not bad, which fully demonstrated the stability of the hot air balloon.

Gui Zhehan blushed, but finally said: "No. I still disagree with the establishment of the Science Department."

Li Xin frowned slightly.

It's a little difficult to deal with people who don't talk about words.

The ministers around were whispering, and they were not in a hurry to condemn Gui Zhehan, who had turned his back on his promise. Because they, like Gui Zhehan, did not want to see the establishment of the Ministry of Science.

Originally, Gui Zhehan still had some psychological burden on breaking his promise. After all, he made the bet with Li Xin under the eyes of so many ministers in the court, and promised that if he lost, he would never hinder the establishment of the Ministry of Science. Repenting so openly now always makes him a little guilty.

But what if you don't regret it? He really didn't want to see the Ministry of Science established. No matter how stupid people are, they can see that behind the word "science" is a way that is almost comparable to the words of sages. Who knows that after the rise of this kind of avenue, in the future, it will be compatible with Confucianism, or will it kill you?

It would be fine if they were compatible, but what if the word science completely cut off the way of Confucianism and left Confucian scholars in the world with nowhere to go? Thinking of this, Gui Zhehan felt a noble feeling of pleading for the lives of the people for no reason, which slightly offset his guilt that he said nothing to himself.

In addition, the court struggle is also full of uncertainties. What if someone uses the Ministry of Science to do something in the future?

Everything is an unknown that Gui Zhehan cannot accept. He had to oppose the establishment of the Ministry of Science anyway. He believed that as long as he persisted enough, he would be able to win many courtiers who shared his views to join him in opposing the establishment of the Ministry of Science.

At that time, even if Li Xin's hot air balloon can fly again, it can only be his personal toy, and there is no way to enter the elegant hall of the court.

Judging from the fact that no one is laughing at Gui Zhehan's back-and-forth, maybe the development of the matter is indeed in line with Gui Zhehan's expectations.

Li Xin heaved a sigh of relief silently and said nothing.

He had long expected that Gui Zhehan might backtrack, so he wasn't too surprised. After all, taking a step back, even if Gui Zhehan really gave up opposing the establishment of the Ministry of Science as promised, who can guarantee that no one among the courtiers will stand up to oppose it? According to common sense, this is the most likely situation. How could he not think of it?

Frankly speaking, Li Xin didn't set up this hot air balloon to show the courtiers at all, but to show the most important person, the person who can decide the ultimate fate of all this.

This person is His Majesty Li Er who has remained silent until now.

To put it bluntly, Li Shimin is the most critical person for the smooth establishment of the Ministry of Science. No matter what other people say, it doesn't work. Li Shimin holds a crucial decision-making power in his hands. If he is determined to establish a science department, then there is no reason why the science department cannot be established.
