You can hear a pin drop in the field.
Zhao Xin pursed his lips tightly, and even his eyes were a little red.
He couldn't help but wonder why, in another time and space, no one in China had asked this question to the scholars of the world for two thousand years?
Even later generations blamed the saint for the century-long fall of the Chinese dragon.
Isn't it sad?
It's so sad, really so sad!
Fortunately, fortunately, in this time and space, by some strange coincidence, someone asked this question.
Zhao Xin stood up and bowed respectfully to Ning Zhuo on the stage. "Master Ning, with just this one question, you are worthy of being called a great scholar of our time!"
When he opened his mouth, everyone subconsciously looked at him.
Some people were guessing who he was, while others recognized him immediately.
Many people were about to stand up and salute, but Zhao Xin waved his hand and said, "Gentlemen, there is no need for formalities. This is only about learning, only teachers and students, not monarchs and subjects."
When everyone heard this, they naturally knew that he was the current emperor.
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that the emperor would come in person.
However, after hearing his words, everyone sat down again, but still bowed to him together.
Ning Zhuo on the stage was about to stand up, but upon hearing this, he bowed like everyone else.
Zhao Xin and the others also returned the greeting slightly.
Seeing that everyone had sat down again, he said, "Everyone, I feel ashamed when I hear what Master Ning said.
Yes, we, the disciples of the saints, have been carrying on the saints' unique knowledge for hundreds of years. However, the saints knew shame hundreds of years ago, but hundreds of years later, we, the descendants, are unable to follow suit and even have no sense of shame. This is not only sad, it is extremely pathetic.
So when I heard Master Ning’s question today, I hope everyone here can learn from their mistakes and become more courageous.
One day, we will not only know why the sun is bigger in the morning and smaller at noon, but also why it rises in the east and sets in the west.
You all know this truly, and don't guess or make it up. Otherwise, you truly have no sense of shame!"
After he finished speaking, seeing that no one was talking, he laughed awkwardly and said, "Forget it. I'm here, and you all probably feel uncomfortable. I'll leave first."
Then he bowed to Ning Zhuo and said, "Thank you Master Ning for giving me a wake-up call today. It has taught me a lesson.
I also hope that Master Ning can come to the palace in the future to teach me about the science of nature and reason, so that I can have more courage and ability in the future!"
Ning Zhuo bowed in return and said calmly, "Your Majesty has ordered me to do this, how dare I disobey!"
Then he added: "I respectfully bid farewell to Your Majesty."
Although the others had their own thoughts, they all bowed and said, "Farewell, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Xin waved his hand, signaling everyone to do as they pleased, and then led Lin Yuyan and others out of the Imperial College.
Naturally, many people present saw Su Qingyu and Lin Yuyan. Some recognized them, while others did not, but had some guesses.
But fortunately, everyone pretended not to see it, which was very considerate.
Of course, even if he was exposed, Zhao Xin didn't care.
After all, Ning Zhuo has now established himself as a great scholar.
So although Su Qingyu and Lin Yuyan's appearance was somewhat against etiquette, it was not ridiculous.
It can even be said that he is studious.
However, Nangong Shang in the crowd felt quite unhappy when she saw Zhao Xin leaving with a group of beautiful girls.
Looking at Ning Zhuo on the stage, he felt even more unhappy.
He couldn't help but sneer in a low voice, "What a foolish emperor! He has no respect for such a sacred occasion. What's the point of bringing a bunch of concubines with him?"
His voice was not loud, but not small either, and many people nearby heard it.
But they just glanced at him and then pretended not to hear him. No one responded to his words.
This made Nangong Shang feel a little disappointed.
I was too lazy to stay here any longer.
Because it is obvious that the old man on the stage is Zhao Xin's man.
What a fallacy.
He couldn't help but sneer again, "What do you mean by knowing shame and then being brave? Even saints can't know this, yet a mortal dares to know it. It's nothing but arrogance and ignorance. Can you really surpass a saint?!"
This time his voice was even louder, and everyone could no longer pretend not to know.
However, his words made many people frown slightly, as if they felt there was some truth in them.
There are also people who are already resistant to Ning Zhuo's statement in their hearts. After all, Ning Zhuo's statement has touched the pain of many people.
When I heard him say this, I immediately felt that it was exactly what I wanted.
I couldn't help but nod in agreement.
There were also some people who came from aristocratic families like him, and they nodded in agreement with his statement.
"What Little Lord Nangong said makes sense. The reason why a sage is a sage is because he thoroughly understands the principles of heaven and earth. Sages simply don't bother to know questions like whether the sun is big or small.
What’s the point of knowing?
Those two children were just like some people who, instead of studying the moral principles taught by the saints, wasted their time on these useless things.
They scoff at the saints, which just shows their ignorance!"
Nangong Shang couldn't help but feel happy when she saw that not only did someone support her, but also could offer some advice.
He immediately acted indignant and bowed to the great scholar Beichen, saying, "Mr. Bei, I think this person is insulting the sages. For such a person to lecture in such an occasion is simply a disgrace to civility!
I implore the Duke of Bei to order him to be expelled!"
Beichen was indeed resistant to Ning Zhuo.
But he is different from Nangong Shang.
Although he comes from a noble family.
But he is a true scholar, not to say that he is selfless and betrays his own class.
But he still has his own persistence in learning.
