As soon as the emperor left, some people couldn't help but come forward to test it.

But Ning Xun still doesn't know how the emperor will arrange it, how dare he easily contact these people, how enthusiastic the incompetent people are, he just said, "How dare you be admired by Your Majesty, ashamed and ashamed." ”

However, Cao Xiong had already been instructed by Zhao Xin, but he spared no effort to praise him.

"Who this Mr. Ning Xuning is, our family doesn't know.

I only occasionally heard His Majesty sigh that the biggest gain of this trip to the Great Wilderness is not the treasure of Emperor Yu, nor the conspiracy to thwart the pseudo-King of Qi, but to invite this Mr. Ning out of the mountain. ”

As soon as he said this, in front of the Suzaku Gate, all the officials couldn't help but make a commotion, and even Liu Muzhi and others couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

I don't know what this Mr. Ning is about.

However, when everyone wanted to ask about the specific situation again, Cao Xiong refused to say more.

It's just that Mr. Ning has been running around all the way, and if you want to learn from Mr. Ning, you have to let Mr. Ning rest for two days before you speak.

When everyone heard him say this, it was naturally not easy to entangle.

But I couldn't help but be more suspicious in my heart.

After Cao Xiong pulled Ning Xun away, everyone couldn't help but discuss.

"What is the origin of this Mr. Ning, who deserves such praise from the Son of Heaven?"

"Prince, you have seen and heard a lot, and you have traveled all over the world, I don't know if you have ever heard of a great Confucian surnamed Ning in the land of Bingzhou?"

"What kind of Confucianism is there in Bingzhou, don't say the surname Ning, I haven't heard of the surname or anything......"

The minister who is called the prince disdains the way.

Obviously, he was very suspicious of this Mr. Ning.

Everyone else couldn't help but nod their heads secretly, and they were also secretly suspicious in their hearts.

If this Mr. Ning is from another place, it would be better to say that the land of the state is basically similar to the border states and counties such as Youzhou and Yanzhou, or even worse.

In this kind of border land, there are military aristocrats.

Even the wealthy families are scarce in the land of the state, and there has never been a family involved, and in their opinion, it is almost like a cultural wasteland.

How could there be any great Confucianism in that kind of place?

But some people are not sure: "This is not necessarily, there may be sages in the mountains." ”

Soon, speculation about Ning Xun's identity spread throughout the capital along with the news of the emperor's return to Beijing.

So there was a new topic in the capital.

And in a blink of an eye, two days have passed, and it has been two days since the emperor returned to Beijing, but this kind of discussion has not only not disappeared, but has become more and more noisy.

Some people say that the emperor brought back an old immortal from Bingzhou, who can pinch and calculate, and knows 500 years before and 500 years later.

Some people say that the emperor has been deceived, and that Mr. Ning is a swaggering liar.

The former is generally circulated among the common people, while the latter is mostly spread among the Qingliushi people.

And to this, the emperor did not respond in the slightest.

On the contrary, news came from the palace that the emperor only met with the queen and Concubine Ming and other harem concubines on the night of his return to Beijing, and then went into the south study to retreat.

Two days later, no news came out.

Slowly, even the wealthy families in Beijing couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Mr. Han, what do you say the emperor is planning to do, is he really deceived, or is there some purpose?

And it's been two days since I returned to Beijing, and I haven't made the slightest move, so I ...... retreat at this time."

Nangong family, Nangong Sheng couldn't help but sneer.

After hearing the news, he was also suspicious.

And he is undoubtedly more anxious than others.

He is still preparing here, waiting for the emperor to start disaster relief, or do other actions, so that he can get in the way and provoke the emperor and other wealthy families to fight.

Then he made a lot of profits, and took the opportunity to persuade the clan elders of the Nangong family to agree to the strategy that Han Zhuowu had set for him before.

But the emperor didn't move for half a day, and when he returned to Beijing, he went into retreat, and once he closed it was two days.

What is this operation, I don't understand it at all.

Could it be that he, as the Son of Heaven, really wants to turn a blind eye to the disaster in Gyeonggi and the prefectures?

"The faint monarch is really faint!

As the Son of Heaven actually ignored the calamity in front of him, ignored the court situation, and hid in the deep palace to retreat, does he still want to ask for immortality?"

The more Nangong Shang thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but scold, at this time, if outsiders saw it, they didn't know if they thought he was a loyal minister who was worried about the country and the people?

Of course, Han Zhuowu must know that he is neither worried about the country nor the people, nor is he a loyal minister, but it is just because the emperor did not think about the actions they expected, so he feels that he has no way to start.

However, the emperor's recent actions have indeed done enough to make a fool of himself.

First, he recognized a group of homeless teenagers as his righteous sons, and let the queen raise them, and also renovated the abandoned Duanhua Hall as a school for the queen and Concubine Ming and other concubines to teach in person.

Now I don't know where to get a great Confucian, and it is said that he will be hired as an emperor.

The former is okay, but there is a fig leaf, it can be said that the mother teaches the child, and for the Qingliushi clan, although it is absurd for the queen to teach the homeless, it has nothing to do with them.

It won't get in their way.

But the latter is different.

Because for the scholars and Confucians, in addition to interests, there is also a dispute over cultural context.

Starting from the Hundred Schools, to Huang Lao and Confucianism, and then to the controversy between modern and ancient literary schools within Confucianism.

It can be said that this kind of battle has not stopped until now.

Sometimes such a struggle is more severe and more life-and-death than a simple struggle of interests.

And many times, these people are fighting over which ideas the emperor or the ruler believes.

This is also a kind of mutual restraint between the emperor and the Confucian scholars, and the emperor wants to rely on these Confucians to unify the ideas of the people of the world.

And the Great Confucianism wanted to rely on the emperor to promote his own doctrine.

And now that the emperor suddenly moved out of a little-known Confucian, what if those Qingliushi clans didn't care about ghosts?

In the end, if it is clear that he is still a liar, then the emperor's reputation will be rotten.

Fortunately, the emperor has not yet announced that he will hire that Mr. Ning as the emperor's teacher, otherwise Han Zhuowu is sure that all the great Confucians in the entire capital will inevitably rise up and attack him.

All this, he frowned and thought about it for a long time, and he couldn't figure out what the emperor's purpose was.

After a while, he said, "This thing is indeed a bit strange.

Judging from the previous signs, the emperor never did things without purpose.

But ......"

Han Zhuowu muttered: "But Duke Ming doesn't have to worry, no matter what, the emperor can't really ignore the disaster situation in the states and counties, otherwise when a large number of displaced people pour into Beijing, the emperor will not be able to return to heaven even if he has great ability." ”

......

At the same time, Liu Muzhi and others were also anxious at this time.

"What's wrong with Your Majesty this time, why has you been in retreat for so long?"

The emperor's retreat is not a new thing for Liu Muzhi and others, and there have been many times before, but generally speaking, it is only a matter of one or two hours, but this time it has been two days, and the emperor has no news.

Everyone couldn't help but want to try to enter the ban and ask for a meeting, but they were all blocked by Cao Xiong and Yu Huatian.

The angry Liu Muzhi and Kou Zhunren and others almost turned their faces with these two people.

Fortunately, just before Liu Muzhi and the others were in a hurry to explode, the news of the harem came out, and the emperor was out of the customs.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and then hurriedly handed over the fold and asked to see him, but they were soon told that the emperor was summoning Mr. Ning.

“......”

Liu Muzhi and the others were speechless for a while, what is wrong with the emperor, if they didn't know the emperor well and trusted him incomparably, they would really think that the emperor would really be a faint monarch.
