I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 270 Is the emperor really going to be a fool?

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

But Ning Zhuo still doesn't know how the emperor will arrange it, so how dare he get in touch with these people easily, and how enthusiastic the incompetent people are, he just said, "How dare you be respected by your majesty, an old man from the mountains and fields, ashamed."

On the contrary, Cao Xiong had already received Zhao Xin's instruction, and he spared no effort to praise him.

"Our family doesn't know who this Mr. Ning Zhuoning is.

I just occasionally heard His Majesty sigh and say that the biggest gain from this trip to the Great Wilderness is not the treasure of Emperor Yu, nor defeating the conspiracy of the false King Qi, but the ability to invite this Mr. Ning to come out of the mountain. "

As soon as this was said, all the officials in front of Suzaku's gate couldn't help commotion, even Liu Muzhi and others couldn't help being secretly surprised.

I don't know what this Mr. Ning came from.

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

It's just that Mr. Ning is tired of traveling all the way. If you want to learn from Mr. Ning, you have to let Mr. Ning rest for two days.

After hearing what he said, everyone naturally didn't want to pester him.

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

After Cao Xiong took Ning Zhuo away, everyone couldn't help discussing.

"What is the origin of this Mr. Ning to be so praised by the emperor?"

"My lord, you have a wide range of knowledge and knowledge, and you have traveled all over the world. I wonder if you have ever heard of a great Confucian named Ning in Bingzhou?"

"There are some great Confucian scholars in Bingzhou, let alone Ning, I have never heard of anyone with a surname..."

The minister called the prince said disdainfully.

Obviously very suspicious of Mr. Ning.

The others couldn't help nodding secretly, and they were also secretly suspicious.

If this Mr. Ning is from another place, it’s okay to say that Bingzhou is basically similar to border states like Youzhou and Yanzhou, or even worse.

At any rate, there are military aristocrats in this kind of borderland.

In the land of Bingzhou, even wealthy families are scarce, let alone aristocratic families. In their view, it is almost like a cultural wasteland.

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

But some people said with uncertainty: "This is not necessarily true, there may be sages in the mountains and fields."

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

So there was another new topic in the capital.

And in the blink of an eye, two days passed, and the emperor returned to Beijing for two days, but this kind of discussion not only did not disappear, but became more and more chaotic.

Some people say that the emperor brought back an old fairy from Bingzhou, who could pinch and count, and knew 500 years before and [-] years later.

Some people said that the emperor was deceived, and that Mr. Ning was a bluffing liar.

The former of these two rumors are generally spread among ordinary people, while the latter are mostly spread among Qingliu scholars.

However, the emperor did not respond at all.

On the contrary, there was news from the palace that the emperor went to the South Study Room for retreat after only meeting the empress, concubine Ming and other harem concubines on the night of his return to Beijing.

Two days later, but no news came out.

Gradually, even the aristocratic families in Beijing couldn't help becoming suspicious.

"Mr. Han, what do you say the emperor is planning to do, is he really deceived, or is there any purpose?
And it's been two days since I returned to Beijing, and I haven't moved at all, at this time, I'm retreating..."

In the Nangong family, Nangong Shang couldn't help but sneer.

After hearing the news, he was equally suspicious.

And he was undoubtedly more anxious than others.

On his side, he is still preparing, waiting for the emperor to start disaster relief, or take other actions, so that he can get in the way and provoke the emperor to fight with other wealthy families.

Then he took advantage of it, and took the opportunity to persuade the elders of the Nangong family to agree with the strategy Han Zhuowu had set for him before.

But the emperor didn't move for a long time, so he retreated after returning to Beijing, and the retreat lasted for two days.

What kind of operation is this, I can't understand it at all.

Could it be that he, as the emperor, really wants to ignore the disasters in Gyeonggi and the states and counties?
"The fool is really the fool!
As the emperor, he actually ignored the disaster in front of him and ignored the court situation, and instead hid in the deep palace for retreat. Does he still want to ask for immortality? "

The more Nan Gongshang thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but yell at him. At this time, if outsiders saw him, would they think he was a loyal minister who cared about the country and the people?

Of course, Han Zhuowu must know that he is neither concerned about the country and the people, nor a loyal minister, but because the emperor didn't act as they expected, so he felt unable to do anything.

However, the emperor's recent actions are indeed full of foolishness.

First, he recognized a group of homeless teenagers as adopted sons, and let the empress raise them. He also renovated the Duanhua Hall, which was abandoned during the first emperor's time, into a school, and let the empress, concubine Ming and other concubines personally teach them.

Now I don't know where to get some great Confucianism, and it is said that he will be hired as the emperor's teacher.

The former is okay, at least there is a fig leaf, it can be said that mothers teach children, and for the Qingliu gentry, although it is absurd for the empress to teach the refugees, it has nothing to do with them.

won't get in their way.

But the latter is different.

Because for the great Confucians of the gentry, apart from interests, there is also a dispute over cultural context.

Starting from a hundred schools of thought, to Huang Lao and Confucianism, and then to the dispute between modern and ancient literary schools within Confucianism.

It can be said that such battles have not stopped until now.

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

And most of the time, what these people are fighting for is which kind of thought the emperor or ruler believes in.

This is also a kind of mutual restraint between the emperor and the great Confucians of the gentry. The emperor must rely on these great Confucians to unify the thoughts of the people of the world.

The great Confucianists should rely on the emperor to promote their own theories.

But now that the emperor suddenly brought out some little-known Confucian, would it be a ghost if those Qingliu gentry didn't care?
If it was found out that he was still a liar in the end, then the emperor's reputation would be ruined.

Fortunately, the emperor has not yet announced clearly that Mr. Ning will be hired as the emperor's teacher. Otherwise, Han Zhuowu is sure that all the great Confucian scholars in the entire capital will join forces to attack him.

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

After a long while, he said: "This matter is indeed a bit strange.

Judging from all the previous signs, the emperor never did things aimlessly.

but……"

Han Zhuowu murmured: "However, Duke Ming doesn't need to worry. In any case, it is impossible for the emperor to really ignore the disasters in the states and counties. Otherwise, when a large number of refugees flood into the capital, the emperor will be powerless even if he has great abilities."

……

At the same time, Liu Muzhi and the others were equally anxious.

"What's wrong with your Majesty this time, why did you retreat for so long?"

For Liu Muzhi and others, the emperor's retreat is nothing new. It has happened many times before, but generally speaking, it only takes an hour or two, but this time it took two days, and the emperor actually No news.

The crowd couldn't help but want to try to enter the ban to ask for an interview, but they were all blocked by Cao Xiong and Yu Huatian.

The angry Liu Muzhi, Kou Zhunren and others almost turned against them.

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

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words, and hurriedly handed over the papers to ask for an interview, but soon they were told that the emperor was summoning Mr. Ning.

"..."

Liu Muzhi and the others were speechless for a while, what happened to the emperor, if they didn't know the whole thing about the emperor and trusted him so much, they would really think that the emperor was really going to be a fool.
