"The Imperial Advisor is in charge of the world today, it is our fortune, everyone must grasp the opportunity and not come back. Let's not talk about that, I will be going home to study hard, everyone ~"
Only then did he understand why his brother wanted to become a soldier. Every month, the soldiers would be given a silver tael to support the family, and other than food, every one of the hundred thousand soldiers would be given a silver tael. This money was given by the Imperial Advisor.
He only had himself to learn, he did not care about the country and did not come out to live, which was obviously wrong. Yesterday, someone came to his house to advise him to enter the imperial court, and he even scolded them to leave, who knows if the Imperial Advisor would be unhappy about this?
Right at that moment, an old man walked in. He was wearing a gray scholarly robe and had a folding fan in his hand. He looked very dignified.
"Aiya, such a small restaurant, I didn't expect business to be so booming. What are you guys talking about?"
After entering, this person found a seat and sat down. As he surveyed his surroundings, he asked himself who was sitting in the hall.
"I wonder who this old sir is, other than the people who are discussing the new politics of the Imperial Advisor, what else is there to discuss in the capital, aren't you asking for nothing?"
Scholars did not follow one another nor did they look at one's age. They only looked at one's knowledge. This person was arrogant and unbefitting of others, so the students were naturally dissatisfied.
A young man dressed in brocade robes first spoke to him, "Even if you are respected, you still have to see whether you are worth it or not."
"What a coincidence!"
When the old man heard that someone had answered him, he immediately replied with a "coincidental" before getting up from his seat and taking a few steps back and forth in the hall, as if he was organizing his words.
"I have also come today to talk about Imperial Advisor. However, what I have said today will likely offend everyone. However, this matter is extremely important. Even if I were to die, I should tell everyone about it so that everyone in the world will know."
"Just say what you want to say. What are you trying to pull off?"
"That's right, that's right. It looks like you aren't a local. Don't tell me you want to slander our Imperial Advisor? I'm telling you to hurry up and leave, no one here will believe your words."
The people at the other table heard his words and wanted to stop his words that might harm the Imperial Advisor.
"Alright, I only ask one question. There is no emperor in the palace right now. Everything will be decided by Yan Wuzhan and that witch. I wonder what everyone is thinking about this matter?"
"Nonsense! If the Emperor isn't in the palace, then is he in your home? "
"Do you know that the crown prince has gone missing? Fang Ning is a demoness that descended from the heavens. She came here to bring disaster upon the world. If you persist with your actions, disaster will befall you!"
When these words were spoken, everyone in the restaurant was enraged.
"Where did this old thing come from? Speak slanderous words! Men, get him out of here!"
"No, arrest him!"
The normally gentle students were also frightened once they became angry. At this time, they all glared at the old man, and some impulsive people already picked him up and threw him out, while the waiter found a rope to tie him up.
"Don't be stubborn. She really is a monster. She killed the entire village overnight and now she's harming the whole world! Everyone in the world deserves to be executed!"
"Shut his mouth and take him to the magistrate!"
He dared to speak ill of Dongfang Ning, and even said so in front of the students. Of course, he couldn't believe it. This was an obvious provocation.
However, this was not the only place that was said so. Similar scenes were playing out in other places as well. The government received more than a dozen of these rumors overnight. Everyone was sweating profusely as they reported it.
Floor by floor, it was already the morning of the second day when the reports arrived at Zuo Qing's hands.
Early in the morning, the servants of Zuo Family knocked on the door, saying that they had not seen the new residence, while the servants knocking on the door. This was something that had never happened before in Zuo Family, so Zuo Qing hurriedly put on his clothes and got off the bed.
"Sir Wang, why are you looking for me so early in the morning?"
"Minister Zuo, something bad happened!" Yesterday, someone spread rumors that the Imperial Advisor was the descendant of a demoness. They said that if they did not kill her, the world would fall into chaos.
The new Prefecture Overseer was 27 years old and was a Humble Class child. Unexpectedly, the first case of becoming the Prefecture Overseer turned out to be this kind of strange thing, causing him to be unable to sleep through the night without having enough qualifications. He didn't have the time to worry that he would offend Zuo Qing by visiting the Prefecture Overseer.
As expected, people who hadn't experienced hardships lacked steadiness.
He still had a lot of things to do today. Because today was the new year, Imperial Advisor had asked the capital to hold a "Spring Festival Gala". He said that it was to encourage the people, so the capital would have a lively new year.
He also said that this was an "official" event and that the officials had to participate in the people to know what everyone needed in order to come up with more national policies that would allow the citizens to live a good life …
They never thought that they would have to prepare a program for the common people even if it was the new year. Sigh ~
After looking at the things in his hands, Zuo Qing immediately called for a palanquin to enter the palace.
Early in the morning, the officials had hung lanterns all night long on the streets. The streets were decorated with lanterns and decorations, and all kinds of red and yellow paper had been cut into small flags, fluttering in the air.
"Something like that happened!"
Yan Wuzhan hadn't slept for the whole night. At this moment, he was filled with rage. Who was the one who wanted Ning'er to die?
It even said that the other three nations would send their armies to attack Shan Nation, and unless Yan Wuzhan handed over Dongfang Ning for execution, he would burn her to death in public!
"Keep quiet for now, we'll talk about it after the new year!"
Since Dongfang Ning wanted to perform the first joyous new year for the citizens of Shan Nation, Yan Wuzhan temporarily suppressed this matter, hoping that Ning'er would not take the initiative to investigate. Otherwise, there was nothing in this world that could be hidden from her.
"..." She really was a demoness, the one who had bewitched herself into a daze.
The commoners had never seen anything like this that could represent the New Year's atmosphere on the streets other than posting couplets. The whole family was busy cooking delicious food early in the morning.
The day before yesterday, the government sent every household to the yamen to collect grain. They said that although the country was poor, they had to eat and drink for several years before they would have a good harvest. Only then would they be full year after year.
In reality, Dongfang Ning couldn't bear the citizens not being able to eat during New Year's.
"..."
The Imperial Advisor had done a lot of things and none of them were done for her sake. The officials did not hide all the things she had done from the common people and used her reputation to do them.
This was also the main reason why the commoners were unmoved by these rumors.
