This is too shameless.
But in the end they held back and didn't dare.
One by one, they turned their gazes towards Zhuang Mohan.
An expression that said, "If you dare to agree, we will commit suicide right now."
Zhuang Mohan gave a wry smile and said, "Master Lu, I owe you such a huge favor that even giving you my life wouldn't be excessive. However, I cannot obey your order. I agree that the inheritance of literature knows no national boundaries, but people do have national boundaries, and I am, after all, a Northern Qi native."
After hearing this, the Northern Qi officials finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If Zhuang Mohan decided to stay, they would be helpless.
But Shan was Lingqi, and her breath of relief didn't last long.
Because Lu Xiao said immediately.
"This is not up to you, sir. I will not let you go until you return the favor. Come, take Mr. Zhuang away and send the future dean of Yunlu Academy to where he belongs."
Lu Xiao was too lazy to think of a name for the academy, so he simply used the name of the Dafeng world, "Yunlu Academy".
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of subordinates from the Inspection Office, led by Deng Ziyue, immediately came up to Zhuang Mohan and lifted him up.
A group of Northern Qi officials wanted to stop it.
Unfortunately, they were powerless, so how could they possibly stop the ferocious Inspection Bureau?
In just a moment, Zhuang Mohan was forcibly taken out by Deng Ziyue and his men.
"Disrespectful, truly disrespectful, Grandmaster Lu, do you think that relying on your own martial prowess means you can ignore the scholars of the world?"
This time they really couldn't bear it any longer.
Lu Xiao said with disdain, "Huh? "Scholars in the world? That's bullshit. I'm putting this out there today. If I don't agree, Zhuang Mohan can't leave. If anyone in the world doesn't accept this, feel free to come and snatch him away. If martial arts isn't enough, I'll take on literary talent."
"Aren't you talking about the scholars of the world? That's all right. You can spread the news. If any scholars in the world are dissatisfied with this, they can come to me and rob me."
"Don't worry, I won't resort to violence. I've left a few puzzles at the Yunlu Academy I founded. If anyone among the scholars in the world can defeat me in one, it will be considered as repaying Mr. Zhuang's favor. At that time, I will definitely send Mr. Zhuang back politely and apologize to all the scholars in the world."
"But now, you can only go back on your own, whether you like it or not. If you dare to stop me again, I will not be polite. Do you really think I don't have a temper?"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Xiao immediately burst out with the aura of a great master.
Under this momentum, all the Northern Qi officials immediately began to tremble.
Fortunately, this momentum was only fleeting.
(Qian Zhao) Otherwise, they would definitely kneel down.
After saying this, Lu Xiao ignored the Northern Qi officials and turned around to leave with Zhuang Mohan.
Watching Lu Xiao disappear, the Northern Qi officials all had expressions of grief on their faces.
"What kind of thing is this? We lost Mr. Zhuang. How are we going to report back?"
After Liu Bei and other important figures in the peace talks, the great figure in Northern Qi's literary world could not return.
It would be a huge shame if word got out.
"How about we go and meet Emperor Qing?"
Someone proposed a discussion.
Unfortunately, someone immediately said, "Will it be of any use? Didn't you see his attitude towards Emperor Qing in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests that day? And even if Emperor Qing knew about this, do you think he would help us or Lu Xiao?"
It's hard to say.
But if we put ourselves in Nanqing's shoes, we'd probably be eager to keep Zhuang Mohan.
Everyone fell into silence again.
Chapter 246 A forced melon is not sweet
On the other side, Zhuang Mohan, being held by Deng Ziyue and the others, was forced to follow Lu Xiao.
His face was full of bitterness at the moment.
"Master Lu, I know you're not unreasonable. You know, a forced melon won't be sweet. Please let me go back."
Zhuang Mo said in Korean with great seriousness.
After hearing this, Lu Xiao chuckled and said, "You've misjudged me. I truly am an unreasonable person. A forced melon may not be sweet, but it quenches thirst. Forget it. No matter what you say, I won't let you go."
Zhuang Mohan sighed helplessly: "Why come to this? If all else fails, I'll just give my life back to you."
This is a desire to kill oneself.
Lu Xiao said nonchalantly, "Go ahead and try. If you can do it, all my cultivation as a Grandmaster will be in vain."
Just kidding, as long as he doesn't want, no one in the world can die in front of him.
However, Lu Xiao didn't want to make Zhuang Mohan sick with anger; after all, he still needed Zhuang Mohan to train talents for him in the future.
This is a good tool, so nothing can go wrong.
Furthermore, teaching and educating people ultimately depended on Zhuang Mohan's willingness.
So Lu Xiao slowly said, "Sir, have you ever thought about what you'd face if you returned to Northern Qi?"
Zhuang Mohan was stunned: "What do you mean by that?"
Lu Xiao said, "Now that your relationship with Xiao En has been exposed, it won't be long before everyone in the world knows he's your biological brother. You must be well aware of the countless crimes Xiao En committed. Not to mention those in Southern Qing, there are already many in the Northern Qi court right now."
"Do you think these people will be angry with you after they find out about this?"
Zhuang Mohan was silent for a moment before speaking.
"I naturally understand this, but at my age, I don't have much time left. If they want to take revenge, that's my fate."
Lu Xiao said, "Don't be so pessimistic. I won't be staying in Nanqing for long. If I want to protect someone, no one in the world can hurt him."
Zhuang Mohan mentioned it again: "No, I am from Northern Qi after all, so I naturally have my own standpoint."
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "You were from the Northern Wei Dynasty before. Whether it's the Northern Qi or the Southern Qing, they're both dynasties in the Central Plains. Since ancient times, their literary and moral traditions have been passed down from one generation to the next. There's no need to make such distinctions."
The Northern Wei Dynasty was the orthodox dynasty in the Central Plains several decades ago.
He ruled the world for hundreds of years.
It's just that the last emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty was incompetent and the court was corrupt decades ago.
Therefore, the country's destiny has gone down a strange path.
It was at that time that Ye Qingmei appeared and brought about a huge change in the world.
Finally, with the help of Ye Qingmei, the small border nation of Nanqing suddenly rose to prominence.
After that, the Northern Wei Dynasty fell apart and became many small states.
The current Northern Qi was established after inheriting most of the power of the Northern Wei.
The founding emperor of Northern Qi was Zhan Qingfeng, a former general of Northern Wei.
Even now, there are many former officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Northern Qi court.
This also applies to Sean, who is about to be released.
Before he became the leader of the Jinyi Tiqi of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he was already the chief of the Northern Wei secret service.
Therefore, the current situation in the world is actually somewhat similar to the Three Kingdoms era in Lu Xiao's previous life.
If we go back to the ancestors of the various countries in the Central Plains, they all have the same ancestor.
Therefore, Zhuang Mo's theory of the Korean boundary is actually untenable.
Zhuang Mohan also knew this, so he had to say, "Master Lu is eloquent, but no matter what, I still feel a sense of belonging to Northern Qi. There are some things that I must be willing to do."
Lu Xiao smiled and said, "That's easy. Mr. Zhuang, please come with me to Yunlu Academy to take a look. If you still don't change your mind after seeing it, I won't force you to stay."
When Zhuang Mohan heard this, he immediately asked, "Are you serious?"
Lu Xiao said, "Of course I take it seriously."
Zhuang Mohan nodded: "Okay, then I'll go with you to take a look. I hope Master Lu won't break your promise."
Lu Xiao said, "A Grandmaster's promise is worth a million gold."
He then signaled Deng Ziyue and the others to let go of Zhuang Mohan.
Then the group slowly headed towards Yunlu Academy.
The Imperial Palace.
After Emperor Qing heard that Lu Xiao had forced Zhuang Mohan to stay,
A hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
No matter what the outcome of this matter is, it will not be bad for him.
If it succeeds, Yu Nanqing will benefit greatly.
No, the only one who would face the wrath of scholars in the world would be Grandmaster Lu Xiao.
So this is definitely a good thing for him.
So he immediately said, "Don't worry about it. Since Grandmaster Lu dared to do it, he must have his own plan. Just wait for the result."
The person who came to report immediately understood Emperor Qing's plan.
This is like watching a fire from the other side of the river.
Inspection House.
After hearing this, Chen Pingping's expression changed.
He had been in a very good mood these past few days.
Emperor Qing suffered a great loss at the hands of Lu Xiao, and he was happier than anyone else.
He really didn't expect that Lu Xiao would dare to confront Emperor Qing face to face.
Fortunately, he was very satisfied with the result.
Thinking about his agreement with Lu Xiao, Chen Pingping felt so relieved.
At the same time, he also learned what Lu Xiao said in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.
In his heart, he no longer doubted Lu Xiao's previous words.
He truly has the ability to transform the Inspectorate into what it should be.
It was only then that Chen Pingping truly felt that handing the Inspection Office over to Lu Xiao was more appropriate than to Fan Xian.
But it was also because of this that he began to really worry about Lu Xiao.
He didn't want to see the already promising situation ruined because of Lu Xiao's willful behavior.
The scholars of the world are full of gossips, but they can curse people to death.
Chen Pingping frowned deeply.
Elsewhere, Lu Xiao had brought Zhuang Mohan to a recently built academy.
The plaque at the entrance is engraved with the words "Yunlu Academy".
Forcing Zhuang Mohan to stay wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Lu Xiao had long known that Zhuang Mohan would come to Kyoto, so he had made preparations for this several months ago.
The idea of forcing him to stay was also there a few months ago.
In order to achieve this goal, Lu Xiao made a lot of preparations.
Just this academy in front of him cost him hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Thank you to all the top leaders from the six departments of the court for your support!
The money used to build this academy was donated by them.
At this moment, Zhuang Mohan looked up at the four large characters on the door and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Great calligraphy! I wonder which great person of the time wrote these four characters?"
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Please forgive me, Mr. Zhuang. This is just a humble work, not worth mentioning."
Zhuang Mohan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said in surprise.
“Is this your work?”
