After all the students entered school, Cheng Qiao boarded the carriage and was about to return to the mansion. Just before boarding the carriage, he suddenly remembered something.

"Mr. Nianduan, hasn't Ronger arrived yet?"

He had casually ordered this matter before, but never asked about it afterwards and almost forgot about it.

Hearing this, Zhong Qian smiled helplessly and said: "The patient has not been treated yet.

Mr. Nianduan has to cure all the patients before he is willing to leave, and the people below are not strong enough, so it is impossible to catch up with the opening ceremony of the academy."

"Haha, that's all, just follow Mr. Nianduan's idea."

"It's not that we don't treat people who need to go down the mountain to see a doctor, or we don't treat people who go up the mountain to see a doctor.

Don’t you want to save the person named Duanmu?”

"Is it because I asked you to come down and make an exception that the rules are no longer required?"

"Both master and disciple are actually cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

You are a man with a sharp mouth and a soft heart."

Zhong Qian didn't interrupt. He knew that Cheng Qiao was talking to himself and expressing emotion. It would be bad to interrupt rashly, so he just listened respectfully.

In fact, that was exactly what happened. He didn't wait for any response and got straight into the carriage.

After that, Cheng Qiao would go to the academy every day to make money, find problems, correct them, and send people to teach students basic etiquette, because when the academy officially opened, Ying Zheng would leave the palace and visit the academy in person.

Cheng Qiao's ceremony was really easy. All the documents that needed to be processed were basically sent to the palace, and they went around once a day. They gave orders majestically to the people below to do it, and they could get off work whenever they wanted.

A week later, in the morning, the sun rose, and thousands of fiery red rays of light pierced the darkness.

A series of carriages that were luxurious yet solemn drove towards the Universal Academy and parked at a special location under the guidance of the academy officials.

Only the carriages of Cheng Qiao, the Marquis of Yong, Lu Buwei, the Prime Minister, and Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, could drive into the academy through the special passage. There were heavily armed armored cavalry in the academy, and there were spies and assassins lurking in the dark.

Although Cheng Qiao estimated that the Six Kingdoms of Shandong would not dare to cause trouble at this juncture. After all, the tragic defeat had not been over for long and it was time to silently lick their wounds. However, the matter was so important that they still could not relax their vigilance.

The people who can attend the opening ceremony of the Academy this time are the core of the Qin State, and everyone holds great power, so there can be no surprises, and the entire ceremony must be carried out smoothly.

When the red sun just jumped out of the horizon, it was the auspicious time calculated by Concubine Yan and the Moon God Servant to arrive, and the opening ceremony of the Universal Academy officially began.

The musicians on the left and right sides of the high platform of the Universal Academy Palace played elegant music one after another. The students, uniformly wearing black and red student uniforms, lined up in neat square formations and entered the venue one after another amidst the solemn, majestic and passionate sound of elegant music. .

In this era,

In such a solemn occasion, no one dares to secretly be naughty or engage in small tricks. Once discovered, the punishment will be very serious.

Exile and beheading were possible, and even the most lawless noble disciples would not dare to do so.

Of course, this is also because of the harsh punishment laws of the Qin State. Regardless of whether you are a noble disciple or not, you will still be punished if you break the law. At most, the severity will be different.

After all the students lined up in a square formation in the square, Qin King Yingzheng, Prime Minister Lu Buwei, Yonghou Chengqiao and other top dignitaries of the Qin State appeared one after another and walked up the steps to the high platform in a leisurely manner.

"Greetings to the King!"

"Greetings to your lords."

When everyone took their seats, the music stopped in time, and the students of the Universal Academy saluted together.

The aristocratic disciples plus the poor students, the first batch of students of the Universal Academy totaled 5,678 people. These many people saluted and shouted together in unison.

, Ying Zheng, who was still very young, was all excited.

Because of the special nature of the first class, we have found so many students. When the academy system gradually gets on track, the threshold for the Universal Academy, the highest academy in Qin, will definitely become higher and higher. By then, everyone who can enter the Universal Academy will

They are the top talents from all over the world.

"No courtesy." Ying Zheng suppressed his inner excitement and looked solemn and majestic.

Since the main square was too big and Ying Zheng's martial arts was not high enough, eunuchs were needed to pass on Ying Zheng's words step by step. Although the efficiency was slower, it was not harmful. The students were very patient.

After all, not everyone can see Ying Zheng. Only a handful of people in the entire Qin Kingdom can see Ying Zheng. Even noble disciples have never seen Ying Zheng, let alone students from poor families.

After that, Ying Zheng stood up, looked down at the square, and began to speak. He did not prepare any script, but at most he had a rough draft and improvised on the spot.

Some people are born leaders. Although most of them couldn't hear Ying Zheng's voice, the students were soon incited, and everyone was red-faced, as if they had been given blood. Especially the students from poor families seemed to be religious elements meeting their faith.

So fanatical.

Although in a sense, the divine right of kings or the king whose kingship is granted by heaven is indeed the belief of the lower class people.

It's just that the people of Kyushu have always been practical. If the king cannot let them live a good life, this belief can be discarded at any time. This trend has become more and more obvious especially after "Princes and Generals Ning Has Kindness".

If you are hungry, your faith is nothing!

When Ying Zheng finished speaking, Lu Buwei said again, and then Cheng Qiao. In short, everyone present, including the powerful and senior officials, had to speak.

There are a lot of people and the efficiency is low, so the delay is very long. If it were in modern times, students would have been unhappy and frantically greeting the eight generations of ancestors of the speaker on the rostrum.

It's different now. The students are very patient. In addition to the reason for their good tolerance, it's also because everyone present is a rare big shot, and what everyone says is more or less related to their future.

Related.

Therefore, even if we stood from early in the morning to close to noon, there were very few people who complained, or none at all. That is really impossible.

After everyone had finished speaking, Ying Zheng made a concluding speech and encouraged the students, and then the ceremony ended.

It is worth mentioning that Ying Zheng's encouragement was not empty talk. The Qin State paid great attention to practicality, and it was not their style to just paint a big cake. The promises given were real titles, official positions, lands, wealth, beauties, etc.

That is to say, it is not popular to write poetry at this time, otherwise it will be like "A rich family does not need to buy fertile land, there are thousands of bells of millet in the book. There is no need to build a high hall to live in peace, there is a house of gold in the book. Don't hate no one to follow you when you go out, there are many horses in the book

Like a bunch of flowers. When you get a wife, don’t hate an unscrupulous matchmaker. There is a beauty like jade in the book. If a man wants to fulfill his life ambitions, he should read the Six Classics diligently in front of the window." The poem "Maybe it will come out soon."

After the opening ceremony, the students dispersed under the leadership of doctors and teaching assistants. Lu Buwei also took the senior officials from the court back to the Yamen to handle matters, while Cheng Qiao took Ying Zheng to visit the academy.

After walking around the academy, Ying Zheng still refused to leave. He had to have lunch in the academy before leaving. Cheng Qiao had no choice but to accompany him. He sent someone to keep an eye on the chef, and when the dishes were served, he had to personally inspect and taste them. Fan.

Fortunately, everything was fine and there were no accidents.

Since this is the first time that a school like the Universal Academy has appeared, there is a lack of experience, there are so many people, the composition of the students is different, there are both men and women, and there are also complex reasons such as internal conflicts among various schools of thought, after the start of the school Various problems emerged one after another.

Even though I have brainstormed a lot before the start of school, there are still many unexpected things.

Fortunately, although there were many problems, they were not major problems that shook the foundation. Although Cheng Qiao was hesitant, he did not want to bother Ying Zheng with numerous small problems, so he solved what he could solve by himself.

If you can't think of a solution yourself, just brainstorm and most problems will be solved.

If the problem cannot be solved by brainstorming, then suppress it forcefully. Whoever dares to provoke a dispute should be prepared to be severely punished.

Half a month has passed like this, and the operation of Universal Academy has gradually become smoother.

…

Cheng Qiao, who had been busy for more than half a month, was preparing to stay at home for a day and relax by boating on the lake with his beautiful wife. As soon as he was ready, he received a call from Ying Zheng.

Cheng Qiao was not happy to be disturbed, even if this was his brother, the King of Qin, he should be upset or not.

So Cheng Qiao asked the person what the business was about, and planned that if the matter was not important, then he would not enter the palace, or he might go to the palace another day.

As a result, the eunuch who came told Cheng Qiao that a swordsman stood out from the recruitment hall of the Qin State and was selected as a swordsmanship teacher by Ying Zheng. Later, when he asked about the swordsman's apprenticeship, he learned that the swordsman came from the Guigu sect.

Later, Ying Zheng became interested and tested the swordsman's literary, Taoist and military skills. Seeing that Ying Zheng was quite satisfied, he asked him to enter the palace.

Cheng Qiao finally understood. Ying Zheng wanted to share with him the joy of acquiring a talented person. As for that swordsman, it was obvious that he was Gai Nie, the successor of Guigu Zongjing.

Cheng Qiao was quite interested in Gai Nie, so he agreed not to take much time.

Cheng Qiao didn't tell Jing Sala and the others what was going on, he just told them that Ying Zheng was looking for him and asked them to get on the boat first, and he would be back soon.

Naturally, the three of them were not ignorant of the general situation. They were relieved to let Cheng Qiao handle the important matters before coming back. They were not in a hurry and could go boating on the lake another day at any time.

Cheng Qiao smiled and praised the three women before leaving. However, he did not enter the palace directly. Instead, he went to the inner study to dig out the information sent by the net in the recent period.

The files and documents sent did contain information about Gai Nie coming to Xianyang and entering the recruitment hall. It happened that he was busy with the affairs of the Academy in the days when Gai Nie came, so he did not read it, but he missed Gai Nie's outstanding performance. process.

Hiding one's origins, waiting to stand out and obtain the identity of a swordsmanship teacher, and then reveal one's identity is indeed something Gai Nie can do.

In today's general situation in the world, Qin is the only powerful country and dominates the world. There is indeed not much room for Guigu Zongheng's disciples to move around. This is an important reason why Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang did not achieve the achievements of their ancestors Guigu disciples.

Of course, the personalities of Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang are also important reasons. Both of them are obsessed with swordsmanship, especially Gai Nie.

If Gai Nie enters the Qin State Recruitment Hall and directly reveals his identity as a disciple of Guigu, he will soon be able to obtain an official position. Whether the official position is civil or military, Gai Nie will have the opportunity to display his talents.

However, Genie chose to hide his background and pursue the position of swordsmanship teacher next to his brother Wang. His bias is evident.

Even if it is to be able to observe the character of his brother Wang up close, even though he is a servant of the king, this position is still too low for Guigu disciples.

In the past generations, Guigu's disciples had never had such a low starting point when they entered the imperial courts of various countries and held official positions. Wei Zhuang's official position when he entered Korea was Sili, and this position in Korea was Shangqing.

Sili was in charge of the political orders of the five Lis including Sin, Man, Min, Yi and Raccoon in the Rites of Zhou.

The culprits were under the jurisdiction of those who were designated for crimes, and their main tasks were to perform various despicable services. The remaining four tributaries were captives obtained from all directions. In addition to raising birds and animals, they also wore their own clothes and carried their own weapons.

Participate in the guarding of royal palaces and palaces.

Up to now, South Korea's Sili can supervise the military and administration of the capital, and there are still many people under them.

It is also possible to observe his brother Wang from other positions, but the distance is not that close.

Due to the arrogance of Guigu's disciples, the position given to him was not enough for him to display his talents, and Li would not pay attention to it. For Gai Nie to accept the position of swordsmanship teacher, even if Cheng Qiao didn't know about it beforehand, it can be inferred that he must be obsessed with swordsmanship.

After collecting the files and documents, Cheng Qiao left the inner study, stepped onto the carriage that had been prepared and headed towards the palace.

After entering the palace, Cheng Qiao saw Ying Zheng and Gai Nie in a school yard next to the back hall of Yong Palace. Gai Nie was teaching Ying Zheng to practice swordsmanship, and the sound of clanking clanking kept ringing.
