Lin Dunxin's words made Wu Zhao think for a moment.

However, in the end, Wu Zhao still did not intend to take back his order, and insisted on expelling the Immovable Dharma Arhat overnight.

As for public opinion, Wu Zhao believed that most people in the Wu Dynasty were still rational.

Of course, Wu Zhao also needs to make plans.

Wu Zhao sent someone to invite Kong to offer wine.

The reason why I invited Kong Jijiu is because Kong Jijiu is still the largest leader of the Imperial Academy.

The Imperial College established schools at all levels in all the state capitals of the Wu Dynasty.

The students in these schools are all enlightened and sensible.

We only need to explain to them the powerful relationship here, and then it will be up to these scholars to popularize the powerful relationship here to the public.

The influence will naturally be greatly reduced.

Since the general public can be fooled by the Great Wisdom Bodhisattva, Wu Zhao can naturally use the influence of Confucian students to correct them.

Kong Jijiu listened to Wu Zhao's arrangement and naturally had no objections.

At the same time, Kong Jijiu also took the initiative to say that he would contact Yunshan Academy and ask Yunshan Academy to send people to do this.

With the endorsement of Yunshan Academy, Wu Zhao felt even more at ease.

The influence of the Imperial College among the people is equivalent to that of ordinary 985, but many people may not even know that it is a key university when they hear this name.

Yunshan Academy is equivalent to Qingbei.

Regardless of whether you know it or not, when you hear the name, you will know that this is the top school.

Although now, through Ning Chen's efforts, the Imperial College has become a key institution, there is still a big gap in reputation compared to Qingbei.

If Yunshan Academy is willing to endorse Ning Chen, then the influence of Dazhi Bodhisattva in spreading rumors will inevitably decrease significantly.

Now that the public opinion matter has been resolved, the next step is to see the reaction of the officials in the court tomorrow.

At the same time, Wu Zhao will also tell Ning Chen directly about this matter so that Ning Chen can be prepared.

That night Wu Zhao was in the small group and told Ning Chen about the matter.

At the same time, he also told Ning Chen his response.

"Xiao Zhao, you are so impulsive. You kicked people out overnight. If you meet someone who is being kidnapped on the way, it would be troublesome for someone to die on the territory of our Wu Dynasty." Ning Chen said with a hint of ridicule.

Wu Zhao said coldly: "As long as he doesn't die in Fengjing City, if he dies outside, it has nothing to do with me."

Ning Chen couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat after hearing Wu Zhao's words: "Xiao Zhao, you wouldn't be so bold as to send someone to assassinate him, would you?"

"No." Wu Zhao responded simply.

This answer was actually not beyond Ning Chen's expectation.

Wu Zhao was a rational and wise emperor. If the two armies fought without fighting to achieve this bottom line, no matter how angry Wu Zhao was, Wu Zhao should have restrained himself.

It's just that what Wu Zhao just said was a bit murderous, so Ning Chen asked this question.

After becoming serious, Ning Chen also asked in a relaxed tone: "Xiao Zhao, tell the truth. When Lin Dunxin and others told the conditions offered by the Western Regions, were you tempted at all?"

Wu Zhao snorted coldly and said: "Do you think I am that kind of fool?"

Ning Chen heard that Wu Zhao was angry and said quickly: "Xiao Zhao, you are definitely not a fool. I just want to say that maybe after I go there, I can fool the entire Western Region?"

Wu Zhao directly stopped Ning Chen's thoughts with a serious tone: "The Western Region is the best at deceiving people.

If you really go to their territory, do you think you have some confidence that you can keep your heart."

Without waiting for Ning Chen to answer, Wu Zhao continued: "Even if you are sure to keep your heart, I can't bet the fate of the entire court or even the entire human race."

Ning Chen said in a relaxed tone: "Xiao Zhao, if you didn't tell me, I wouldn't know that I am so important now, and it is all related to the future of the human race."

Wu Zhao directly chose to ignore Ning Chen's self-showing off.

However, Wu Zhao still reminded Ning Chen that he must be prepared to appease the people.

It's okay within Hezhou. If the people in Hezhou take the lead in resisting, it will be very detrimental to Hezhou's overall defense.

"I will talk to Cao Xing and ask him to focus on the construction of spiritual civilization." Ning Chen said casually and perfunctorily.

Ning Chen would definitely say it.

But at the time, Ning Chen actually didn't hope that this kind of thing could be solved by focusing on the construction of spiritual civilization.

Ning Chen hoped that it would be best for everyone to make a fuss, so that he could convince himself to leave Hezhou and find a place to break through to the third level.

…

Early on the next morning, Wu Zhao arrived at the court on time.

Wu Zhao, who was sitting on the dragon throne, glanced at the civil and military officials looking down.

Everyone's expressions could be seen in Wu Zhao's eyes.

From the expressions of many people below, Wu Zhao already knew that most of them already knew what happened yesterday.

Wu Zhao is now waiting to see who will be the winner.

If anyone really dares to suggest it, agree to the peace terms of the Western Regions.

The butcher knife in Wu Zhao's hand will definitely fall without any hesitation.

Wu Zhao could choose to give in on some small matters.

But in the face of major issues of right and wrong, Wu Zhao will never be polite or soft-hearted.

After an early morning court meeting, no one mentioned the matter of peace in the Western Regions.

Obviously, everyone is very restrained on this issue.

In other words, they are all waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to bring this matter to the table.

Wu Zhao was certainly not in a hurry on this matter.

Wu Zhao was not the kind of murderous king.

If everyone in the court could really unite as one, then Wu Zhao would naturally be even more happy to see it.

At the same time as the morning meeting, Ning Chen also called Cao Xing over.

I told Cao Xing about the peace in the Western Regions.

After hearing the request for peace from the Western Regions, Cao Xing immediately denounced the case and said angrily: "The Western Regions are really good at making plans. Does he think that our Wu Dynasty is all weaklings?

And they don't know now who is the one who was beaten.

How dare you make such a request."

Ning Chen pulled Cao Xing to sit down and said, "Master Cao, don't be so nervous, didn't our Majesty very wisely reject this request?

Moreover, even the envoys from the Western Regions were driven out of Fengjing overnight by our Majesty.

What we want to discuss now is the issue of public opinion.

Since the Western Region has adopted this move, there will definitely be corresponding follow-up plans.

Great Wisdom Bodhisattva will not play such idle chess."

Cao Xing nodded calmly: "Yes, Dazhi Bodhisattva will definitely guess the court's attitude.

Since the imperial court's path is unworkable, he will definitely sow public opinion."

After analyzing Cao Xing, he did not forget to ridicule the Western Regions: "Contemplating people's hearts is the specialty of the Western Regions."

After ridiculing, Cao Xing assured Ning Chen: "Don't worry about Mr. Champion, I will take care of the public opinion right now. There will never be any objections in Hezhou."

Ning Chen grabbed Cao Xing who was about to leave in a hurry and said, "Master Cao, I haven't finished speaking yet. Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Cao Xing turned around and asked, "Do you have any other instructions from Mr. Champion?"

Ning Chen said the wording he had thought of for a long time: "I want to say this, after all, I haven't even mentioned it yet.

We are now applying intense pressure, which wastes people and money, and at the same time shows that we don't trust everyone.

So I thought about talking about this kind of thing, and when the truth emerges, we can suppress it again.

What if we don’t even have any signs of it and we just start it with random suspicions, wouldn’t it chill everyone’s enthusiasm?”

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Cao Xing kept nodding his head: "What the champion said is absolutely true."

After saying this, Cao Xing did not forget to express his heartfelt flattery: "The champion's caring and caring heart is definitely worth learning from everyone in the court."

Ning Chen waved his hands and said modestly: "Master Cao, you are serious. I just want everyone to live and work in peace and contentment, so I will try not to disturb everyone if I can."

After a lot of politeness and counter- politeness, Ning Chen sent Cao Xing out of his mansion.

Of course what he said to Cao Xing was just rhetoric. Ning Chen mainly wanted to find a reasonable reason for himself to leave Baijia and find a place to break through.

…

Five days passed.

The matter has been thoroughly fermented among the people.
