The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 588

People of this era have completely forgotten their understanding of these things.

They simply don't believe in anything unknown.

Those who supported the Prime Minister all stood up.

They strongly opposed Xu Tian.

Xu Tian immediately volunteered.

"Your Majesty, please give me a bowl of water and three chopsticks. I want to conduct a small experiment with everyone."

If he doesn't conduct an experiment on the spot, they definitely won't believe anything.

After everything was brought up, Xu Tian conducted a scientific experiment on the spot.

He first placed a bowl of water on the table, and then put three chopsticks inside.

Make sure all three chopsticks can stand upright in the water.

Everyone crowded around to look, and some people started pointing and whispering.

"How can chopsticks stand up in water?"

"Yes, that's completely impossible."

The prime minister walked straight up and said coldly, "This is simply a publicity stunt. Do you really think you can get away with something like this?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that Xu Tian's words are utter nonsense and misleading. I think we should not include this so-called science in our studies."

He believed that this was completely impossible.

What do you mean the Earth is round? What scientific experiments? It's all just Xu Tian's nonsense.

He was trying to deceive everyone and confuse the public.

The prime minister would never allow such a thing to happen.

What if Xu Tian actually succeeds?

No! Absolutely not!

He would rather Xu Tian lose face in front of everyone than let him show off.

"I beg Your Majesty to punish Xu Tian."

When the prime minister spoke up, everyone who had sided with him stood up.

They all appealed.

Xu Tian didn't care at all about what these people were saying.

In the blink of an eye, he had completed all the procedures.

Several chopsticks actually stood upright in the water.

Everyone was surprised.

"How is it possible? How is it possible?"

They didn't believe it at all; they all thought such a thing was simply impossible.

But to everyone's surprise, Xu Tian actually succeeded.

The people on the Grand Tutor's side quickly said, "Your Majesty, Lord Xu actually did it. It seems that science can indeed be put into practice."

After the Grand Tutor said that, everyone on his side stood up and supported Xu Tian.

Although the prime minister wanted to say something more, Li Er made the final decision.

"By imperial decree, the Xu Tian Academy shall establish a science department, which is now officially implemented."

Because what Xu Tian did was completely beyond their imagination, everyone was speechless.

Even on the prime minister's side, no one stood up to say anything.

The prime minister was helpless and could only glare fiercely at Xu Tian.

However, he will absolutely not let this matter rest.

After the court session, Xu Tian was summoned by Li Er alone.

"I wonder where you, Minister Xu, acquired all this knowledge?"

He had never been in contact with any of these people, and in fact, none of the ministers had been in contact with them either.

Xu Tian simply replied perfunctorily, "It was derived from repeated experiments."

Li Er believed that with Xu Tian's intelligence and talent, it was possible for him to accomplish this.

So he didn't ask any more questions and talked to Xu Tian about the border war and the disaster.

"After your proposal, the disaster has been completely resolved, and the people are now living in peace and contentment. All of this is thanks to your efforts, Minister Xu."

Li Erxian was very pleased.
