Chapter 117: News from the Alchemist
Liu Ji looked at Fan Kuai's excited back and laughed secretly in his heart.
He knew that Fan Kuai was a man of temperament, whose emotions were easily influenced by the outside world, but at the same time he was also very loyal and righteous.
Although this kind of personality sometimes makes him act impulsively, it is precisely this sincerity and enthusiasm that makes him loved by everyone.
After Fan Kuai left, Liu Ji turned around and returned to Xiao He's room.
He planned to take this opportunity to ask Xiao He some advice about the imperial examination system so as to better prepare for his future work.
Liu Ji knocked on the door gently and heard Xiao He's voice from inside: "Who is it?"
"It's me, Liu Ji." Liu Ji replied.
The door opened quickly. Xiao He was slightly surprised to see Liu Ji: "Why are you here?"
Liu Ji smiled and said, "I'm here to ask you some questions about the imperial examination system.
I want to understand the system better so that we can work better together in the future.”
When Xiao He heard this, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
He invited Liu Ji to sit down in the room, and then explained to him in detail the various aspects of the imperial examination system.
The two of them exchanged opinions and views while sipping tea, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
As the communication deepened, Liu Ji's understanding of the imperial examination system became more profound.
He realized that this system was not only established to select talents, but also to promote social progress and development.
At the same time, he also saw Xiao He's enthusiasm and persistence for this system, and he couldn't help but have more respect and admiration for him.
Fusu was thinking alone in the hall.
Yesterday's busyness and fatigue seemed to still hang on his brows, but his eyes revealed a kind of determination and courage.
He knew that his current situation was not optimistic. The power struggle in the court was undercurrent and he needed to be cautious in every step.
At this time, Li Chen walked in hurriedly, his face showing fatigue from a sleepless night, but his eyes were shining sharply.
After paying his respects to Fusu, he immediately began to report on the situation of the alchemists who remained.
"Your Highness, after a night of investigation, we have already grasped the basic situation of those alchemists."
"Most of them come from various places, and some of them really know some alchemy techniques."
"Some are just charlatans trying to take advantage of the situation."
There was a hint of disdain in Li Chen's tone.
Fusu nodded slightly and asked after thinking for a moment.
"Is there any alchemist among them who can refine gunpowder?"
"Your Highness, there are indeed several alchemists who claim that they know the art of gunpowder."
"But their statements vary and their authenticity needs further verification."
Li Chen replied.
"Okay, go find these alchemists immediately and ask them to compile a detailed report on the method of refining gunpowder and give it to me."
"At the same time, you must keep a close eye on them and never let them leave the palace."
There was an unquestionable majesty in Fusu's tone.
Li Chen took the order and left, his figure quickly disappearing around the corner of the palace.
Fusu looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Although Li Chen is young, he is indeed capable of doing things and will surely become a great man in the future.
Peace returned to the hall again, with only Fusu left.
He stood up and walked to the window, looking at the bustling palace outside, his heart filled with loneliness and helplessness.
After traveling to this era, he thought he could achieve great things, but the reality was much more complicated than he imagined.
The power struggles in the court and the open and covert struggles among various forces made him feel powerless.
