Chapter 558 Leaving Lanzhou and returning to Kongcheng
"Please Yunqijun accept our Umbrella of All Peoples!"
"Please Du Jun accept the Wanmin Umbrella!"
There were sounds everywhere, and many people looked at Du Ning expectantly, hoping that Du Ning would accept the Wanmin Umbrella presented by everyone.
Du Ning held up his hands to the common people and said: "How can Du be so virtuous that he dares to accept the umbrella of all people? You are trying to destroy Du's literary name!"
Liu Chen in the crowd said: "Mr. Du, there is no need to be too modest. Heaven knows and earth knows, and we also know that you are more than happy with this Umbrella of All Peoples. Who else is qualified to receive the Umbrella of All Peoples except you?"
"Well said! Du Jun should accept the Ten Thousand People Umbrella as a matter of course. This is also the wish of the people of Lanzhou City."
"If Mr. Yunqi does not accept the Wanmin Umbrella, then all the people in our city will immediately block the Yamen and never let you leave."
"This is a good idea! If you don't accept our wishes, don't even think about leaving Lanzhou City."
Then more and more people began to make noises. They all had a common purpose, which was to hope that Du Ning would accept the Umbrella of All People and accept the gratitude of the people of Lanzhou City.
Du Ning immediately couldn't laugh or cry. As a noble nobleman of the human race, he was actually "threatened" by the common people.
Seeing the attitude of the people who were so determined to accept the Wanmin Umbrella, or else they would block the Yamen and prevent them from leaving, even though Du Ning was a civilized monarch of the human race, he had to compromise with the people.
"Thanks to the great love from all of you, fellow villagers, Du Ning is extremely grateful. I can only feel ashamed to receive it."
Du Ning bowed deeply to the people, then stretched out his hands and took the Wanmin Umbrella presented to him.
When many people and scholars in Lanzhou City saw this scene, they all showed happy smiles, and Du Ning's disciples were even more proud, as if they were happier than themselves when they received the Ten Thousand People Umbrella.
The moment Du Ning took over the Wanmin Umbrella, a strange force gathered from all directions and poured into Du Ning's Wen Palace.
This is the public opinion of the people of Lanzhou City!
Public opinion has a very magical power, which will further consolidate Du Ning's Confucianism and become an important foundation for Du Ning's canonization.
Semi-saint is a bigger watershed, and it is also a realm that is extremely difficult to enter. I don’t know how many amazing and talented people have been stumped.
If a great Confucian scholar wants to become a semi-sage, in addition to the holy thoughts he pursues, he must also rely on two powerful forces.
The first is national destiny, and the second is public opinion.
Being able to obtain the support of these two forces will play a key role when the great scholar attacks the semi-saint realm.
In the same way, if a great Confucian attempts to reach the semi-sage realm without the support of national destiny or public opinion, he is doomed to fail.
With the destiny of the country and the strength of public opinion as the basis, the probability of canonization will be higher in the future.
After Du Ning integrated this power of public opinion, he felt that his cultivation as a great scholar had improved a bit. As long as he took one step further, he could reach the realm of semi-saint.
Now, Du Ning only lacks a suitable opportunity before becoming a saint.
Han Youren raised his hand to Du Ning and said: "Congratulations to the teacher for winning the Ten Thousand People Umbrella. What a joy!"
"Congratulations, teacher!"
Li Qingyuan and other disciples also congratulated Du Ning. Their faces were full of smiles and they felt a little proud of Du Ning.
"Thank you all."
Du Ning returned the gift with his hand, and then handed the Wanmin Umbrella to Mu Baichuan next to him.
Mu Baichuan took it solemnly, and then tied the Wanmin Umbrella to the dragon carriage.
"Dear literary friends of Lanzhou City, and fellow villagers of Lanzhou City, Du Ning bids farewell. See you later."
Du Ning bowed deeply to everyone, and many scholars and common people also bowed in return.
After the ceremony, Du Ning got into the carriage of the dragon carriage.
"Let's set off and return to the Holy Courtyard."
Mu Baichuan gave an order, and a thousand elite escorted the dragon carriage forward.
The crowd made way for a spacious road, and many scholars and common people showed their reluctance to give up.
"Lord Wenjun, take care along the way."
"We are waiting to send you off to Your Majesty Wenjun."
"Farewell to Mr. Du."
Many scholars and common people bowed silently and deeply to the dragon carriage, and some gently wiped away the tears of disappointment at the corners of their eyes.
The dragon carriage gradually moved forward, and the light snow kept falling.
After leaving Lanzhou City, there were countless scholars and people walking behind to see them off.
It was not until the dragon carriage gradually disappeared from everyone's sight that many scholars and common people reluctantly returned.
…………
The next day.
Du Ning's dragon carriage arrived outside Kongcheng.
At this time, many scholars and people from various countries had gathered outside Kongcheng. There were scholars from many aristocratic families in Kongcheng, some very famous scholars in the literary world, and Du Ning's friends from various countries.
They knew that Du Ning had completed his term in Lanzhou and would arrive in Kongcheng today, so they spontaneously came to greet him.
Conte led the Confucian scholars, academicians, Hanlin and other scholars from various countries in the Confucian Hall to look at each other from a distance. After seeing Du Ning's dragon carriage, they all smiled.
Du Ning is a civilized monarch of the human race, which is due to his status. In addition, he has outstanding political achievements in Lanzhou City and founded the Holy Land of Apricot Altar. Today, Du Ning returns to Kongcheng Holy Court to resume his life. Its significance is like returning from a victorious battle abroad.
Returning, so Comte must lead the scholars of the Holy Academy to greet him. This is etiquette.
"Look, that's Lord Yunqi's dragon carriage. Lord Yunqi is back!"
"Du Jun served in Lanzhou for one year, pioneered new legalist ideas and created the Holy Land of Apricot Altar. He really lived up to expectations!"
"Du Ning! Du Ning! Du Ning!"
"Yunqi-Jun! Yunqi-Jun! Yunqi-Jun!"
Waves of cheers rang out from the crowd, with some shouting Du Ning's name and others shouting his title.
"What do you think that is?"
Someone pointed to the big umbrella of the dragon carriage and asked.
"Oh? That seems to be an umbrella..."
"That's not an ordinary umbrella, it's the Wanmin Umbrella. Look, there are many people's names on that big umbrella."
At this time, someone told the origin of the big umbrella.
"What! Wanmin Umbrella!"
Everyone was immediately shocked, especially the great scholars and scholars from various countries. They knew the meaning and achievements of the Ten Thousand People Umbrella than more people. The fact that tens of thousands of people loved Du Ning so much was enough to prove Du Ning's political achievements in Lanzhou.
.
Fan Heshan narrowed his eyes slightly, with some tears, and said with emotion: "One year after taking office in Lanzhou, he actually brought back a Wanmin Umbrella. This is not something that ordinary scholars can do. Du Ning is able to achieve what he is today.
This achievement is really not easy!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Fan, congratulations to Mr. Fan, Mr. Yunqi has brought glory to the country of Yun again."
"Mr. Fan, Mr. Yunqi is truly qualified to be a saint!"
"Congratulations!"
Great scholars from all over the world congratulated Fan Heshan one after another. Du Ning was from the Yun State, and he brought back a Ten Thousand People Umbrella, which naturally made Fan Heshan look good.
