"Mr. Zhang! What's wrong with you?"

Ning Fu saw Zhang Dun staring at him motionless, so he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes a few times and asked.

Zhang Dun's eyes moved, and then he looked at Ning Fu carefully.

"I'm fine, you..."

Zhang Dun paused for a moment when he said this, with a tangled look on his face.

"You're doing well, keep up the good work in the future!"

After Zhang Dun finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Young people are formidable, and Zhang Dun suddenly felt that he was old.

Looking at Zhang Dun's leaving figure, Ning Fu shook his head and smiled. This old man's psychological quality was not very good.

Ning Fu stepped out of the imperial city, but when he came to the gate of the imperial city, he saw Duan Zhengchun standing outside the gate, looking inside anxiously, as if waiting for Zhao Xu's answer.

Ning Fu shook his head secretly, the romantic Duan Zhengchun in his mind was shattered to pieces.

Ning Fu didn't intend to pay attention to Duan Zhengchun, but he didn't expect that the other party recognized him at a glance. He immediately stepped forward to chat with him in surprise: "I don't know what I call you, the young man. Is there any reply from His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Ahem, I'm just a doctor from Imperial College. He goes to the palace to give lectures to His Majesty and has no involvement in government affairs!"

Ning Fu didn't want to wade into the troubled waters of Dali, so he hurriedly identified himself.

"Doctor Taixue! So young?"

Duan Zhengchun was shocked when he heard this.

Dali was proficient in Confucianism, and Duan Zhengchun himself was well-read in poetry and books. He had visited Taixue before, but he did not expect that Taixue had such a young doctor.

Ning Fu didn't wait for the other party to come back to his senses, turned around and left as soon as he handed over his hands.

Zhao Xu and Zhang Dun both decided to deal with the matter in Dali coldly. Since they knew the inside story, it was inconvenient for them to have too much contact with Duan Zhengchun.

When Duan Zhengchun wanted to call Ning Fu, he found that the other party had already walked away.

In desperation, Duan Zhengchun had no choice but to continue waiting, but until dark, there was still no reply from the palace.

…

Late at night, Zhang Dun was still handling official business in his study.

Although the monopoly of power looks majestic, it also puts all the affairs on his shoulders.

All major and minor affairs in the Zhengshi Hall needed to be decided by Zhang Dun. Therefore, Zhang Dun was busy in the Zhengshi Hall during the day and continued to work in the study when he returned home at night.

"Father, have a sip of tea!"

At this time, a young man in his twenties walked in with tea.

This man's name is Zhang Yuan, he is Zhang Dun's youngest son. He was the fifth Jinshi in high school a few years ago and is currently the Secretary of the Provincial School.

"Um!"

Zhang Dun rubbed his swollen temples, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"This Futian tea is convenient. Not only does it have a strong aroma, it is also refreshing. People in our Secretary Province now like to drink this tea."

Zhang Yuan also said casually at this time.

When Zhang Dun heard his son mention Futian tea, he immediately thought of Ning Fu.

Zhang Dun took another sip of tea, suddenly raised his head and said to his son, "Have you heard about Dali?"

"I heard that Duan Zhengchun stayed at the gate of the imperial city until dark and refused to leave. All the officials who came in and out saw him. After all, he is also the brother of the King of Dali. He looks quite pitiful."

Zhang Yuan nodded immediately.

"Then how do you think the court should handle Dali's affairs?"

Zhang Dun suddenly wanted to test his son, and stared into Zhang Yuan's eyes when he spoke.

Zhang Yuan was shocked when he heard his father's inquiry, because his father rarely asked his opinion on government affairs.

Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and immediately replied: "Dali has been on good terms with me for generations in the Song Dynasty, and the Duan family has always been respectful to the court. Now that there are changes in Dali, it would be unethical to ignore it."

"Then you mean to let the court take care of this matter?"

"That's right, we must not only control it, but also control it to the end. It is best to send troops to capture the Gao family and return the power to the Duan family. This will not only show the prestige of the Song Dynasty, but also show the power of the Song Dynasty.

Kindness, thus shocking the southwest!"

Zhang Yuan did not notice the change in his father's tone and answered firmly again.

"Get out and copy the house rules ten times!"

Zhang Dun slammed the table angrily.

"Copy...copy the family rules? Father, what did I do wrong?"

Zhang Yuan said with an aggrieved look, he didn't seem to have said anything wrong?

"If you are asked to copy it, just copy it, there is so much nonsense!"

Zhang Dun became even more angry, and his son actually learned to talk back!

"Yes, I'll copy it right away!"

Although Zhang Yuan was full of grievances, he did not dare to say anything more, so he turned around and went out to copy the family rules.

Although he punished his son, Zhang Dun's anger was not extinguished. He couldn't understand. They were both young people, so why was there such a big gap?

…

When Li Gefei left Beijing, his colleagues from the Imperial College and many students from the Imperial College came to see him off.

Although Ning Fu and Li Gefei had not known each other for a long time, thanks to his care, they had a good personal relationship, so they also went to see him off.

Facing the crowd seeing him off, Li Gefei was also very excited and said goodbye to everyone one by one.

At this moment, a familiar singing voice suddenly came from the crowd:

"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky..."

At first, only one person sang, but then more and more people started singing along.

When Li Gefei heard the singing, he could no longer control his feelings of separation and burst into tears immediately.

Ning Fu in the crowd looked confused.

Huang An happened to be next to him, and he was singing very enthusiastically, so Ning Fu pulled him over and asked, "How come you know this song "Farewell"?"

"It turns out this song is called "Farewell", what a great name!"

Huang An first praised him, and then explained.

"I also heard it sung by my classmates in Taixue Middle School. It is said that it was sung by a group of women when bidding farewell to their friends. Now it has become the most popular song in the entire capital!"

Ning Fu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. He originally taught Liu Qingxin to sing to Li Qingzhao casually in order to deal with her, but he didn't expect that in just one day, this song would have spread throughout the capital.

In the sad song "Farewell", Li Gefei finally said goodbye to everyone in tears.

It wasn't until Li Gefei's carriage disappeared at the end of the road that the people seeing him off gradually left.

Three days later, Ning Fu entered the palace again to give lectures to Zhao Xu.

However, when the carriage passed the gate of the imperial city, Ning Fu suddenly discovered that a familiar voice was standing there in front of the city gate, it was the thin Duan Zhengchun.

"Has this Dali ambassador been standing here all this time?"

Ning Fu asked the chamberlain who picked him up.

"Yes, this guy surnamed Duan has been standing at the gate of the imperial city for several days and nights. He has been staying here to eat and sleep and refuse to leave."

The chamberlain replied immediately.

Ning Fu sighed secretly, although Duan Zhengchun did not know martial arts, his perseverance was really admirable.

After class, Zhao Xu did not let Ning Fu leave immediately, but chatted with him for a few words.

"By the way, when you entered the palace, did you see Duan Zhengchun?"

Zhao Xu suddenly asked.

"Exactly. I was also curious at the time. I heard that he had been standing there for several days and nights."

Ning Fu answered immediately.

"It's really annoying. I've sent people to persuade him to leave before, but he just refuses to leave!"

Zhao Xu said a little upset.

Duan Zhengchun refused to leave, and this incident also attracted the attention of many people, which invisibly put a lot of pressure on Zhao Xu.

Ning Fu was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "Guan family, why don't you give it a try!"

"Is there any way you can make him leave?"

Zhao Xu's eyes lit up and he asked immediately.

“If you’re not completely sure, you can only try your best.”
