First emperor of the human race

Chapter 123 News from Eastern Border

The sun is shining brightly, slanting up into the sky.

Today, all the civil and military officials, ministers of the military cabinet, aristocratic families, people from the rivers and lakes, and other nobles from the entire Great Xia Dynasty gathered here to witness this moment.

On this day, the emperor will also set most of the tone of the Imperial College, and personally assess some masters who are in charge of the Imperial College. In the following days, the military machine pavilion and the first batch of masters will expand the enrollment of students.

According to the list that was drawn up long ago, every minister in the Military Aircraft Pavilion must be a part-time master in the Imperial Capital Academy, and Zhao Yun and Bai Qi cannot escape.

Civil and military ministers, university scholars, aristocratic families, and prestigious and talented people from Jianghu sects will also be recruited based on merit.

The men's college is easy to handle, there are many giants and bachelors to choose from, but the women's college is short of manpower.

Although there was no saying in the Great Xia Dynasty that "women are virtuous without talent", there was also a patriarchal thought, which resulted in very few talented women.

With a wave of his hand, Su Chen decreed that the military machine pavilion's assessment requirements for female masters would be reduced by half, and at the same time, the imperial list would be distributed nationwide, encouraging women from the top ten counties in the country to actively participate in the assessment.

Whether it's a female wife or a female student, as long as you come to the assessment, the conditions will be relaxed.

It is worth mentioning that after this imperial decree, many men throughout the Great Xia Dynasty beat their chests, sighed, and hated themselves for not being daughters.

Of course, this is something.

On the east side of the imperial palace, the tall gate of the Imperial Capital Academy looks grand and solemn, with different architectural styles, exuding a solemn atmosphere inside and out.

Under the joint protection of the Imperial Forest Army and Dengtiantai, even though many people and people from the rivers and lakes were watching nearby, none of them could enter.

Many people couldn't see the inside of the Imperial Academy, they could only look up at the gate of the Imperial Academy.

The gate of this school alone is seven feet high (about 21 meters), and it is roughly estimated that it can accommodate tens of thousands of students without being crowded.

This handwriting, this boldness, is really magnificent!
From the very beginning, every detail of the Imperial Capital Academy has revealed a kind of arrogance, the arrogance that students from all over the world are destined to enter our academy.

What makes people feel weird is that although the gate of the Imperial Capital Academy is high, it is only supported by four pillars on the left and right. The pillars are smooth, without patterns or decorations, which seems a bit incongruous.

"The emperor is out!"

The sharp-eyed people saw a dragon chariot driving out of the Imperial Capital Academy. The emperor should have handled the establishment of the Imperial Academy and planned to return to the palace.

So the common people knelt down one after another, facing the dragon chariot, and parted the way for the dragon chariot to leave.

But at this moment, the dragon chariot stopped in front of the gate of the Taiyuan Academy in the imperial capital, and Li Nianzi, who followed closely, sang: "Welcome to the emperor, and bestow the calligraphy of the Taiyuan Academy."

The emperor wants to bestow ink treasures to show his importance to the students all over the world.

But what about pen, ink, paper and inkstone?
The common people looked up at the dragon chariot in confusion. The emperor stepped down from the dragon chariot, holding a sword, facing the four snow-white pillars at the gate of the Taiyuan Academy in the imperial capital.

"Shh!"

The sharp sword intent lingered on the Qingshui long sword, and the aura scorched the eyes.

The emperor raised his hand, and using the sword as the pen and the aura as the ink, he carved calligraphy on the four snow-white pillars of the Taiyuan Academy.

"Set up your mind for the heaven and earth, set up your destiny for the life and the people, follow the sages of the past, and create peace for the world!"

The aura is like fingers, these four lines of characters occupy four snow-white pillars, the handwriting is strong and straight, like a dragon swimming, with golden hooks and iron strokes, engraved into three points.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the writing on the pillar.

This sentence is concise and meaningful, and between the lines reveals a grand spirit that cleans the world.

Sima Yi and other civil and military officials stood on both sides one after another, raised their heads, muttered to themselves, thinking about the meaning of the sentence secretly, the more they pondered, the more shocked they felt.

"The emperor's words are the original intention of the establishment of the Imperial Capital Academy."

Guan Yiwu couldn't help sighing: "This is an aphorism that can be handed down to the world."

Sima Yi nodded and agreed: "That's why the emperor carved it in front of the gate of the Taiyuan Academy. No matter how many years later, the students who enter to practice can see this sentence and keep it in their hearts."

All the officials praised it one after another, and some of the common people were also immersed in the courage of these words. For a while, no one made any noise, and they kept silently reading these four sentences in their hearts.

On the high pavilion beside the street, Sister Yun Zhuxin watched the ceremony through the window, and happened to see the four characters carved by the emperor.

"It's really bold."

Yun Zhuxin muttered to himself, her beautiful eyes flickered with ripples, and her eyes fell on Su Chen.

"Go back to the palace."

Su Chen smiled, looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, and turned back to the dragon carriage.

Li Nianzi sang loudly: "Show me your car, go back to the palace."

The people gave way one after another, and all civil and military officials knelt down and shouted.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

The common people and civil and military officials shouted in unison, soaring into the sky, filling the sky above the imperial capital and lingering for a long time.

After this day, many academicians, ministers of civil and military affairs, and even giants in the rivers and lakes ordered Danqing masters to copy Su Chen's handwriting, write down the four sentences, and hang them at home.

Whether it is vigilance or showing off, this sentence has been spread, and it has confirmed the original intention and principle of the establishment of the Imperial Capital Taixue.

In the next few days, the imperial decree of the Military Machine Pavilion against the sects of Jianghu was successfully issued, and the sects of Jianghu in various places were partially disbanded, and they began to set up branches of the Taiyuan Academy.

In order to encourage the enthusiasm of this group of private sub-academics, Military Machine Pavilion also came up with a complete method of accumulating merit.

The sub-academy that educates the more outstanding students and the higher the quality, its head and master can accumulate merits and become officials, get the high official salary bestowed by the Great Xia Dynasty, and have their own scholarly prestige.

At the same time, under the suggestion of the Military Machine Pavilion, some aristocratic families provided financial and resource support, and joined hands with this group of Jianghu sects to form it; after all, the government has strict requirements for the standards of the sub-academy, and the sub-academy that does not meet the standards will be disbanded.

You must have strong enough financial support and connections to eat this piece of cake.

Branch academies are being held in various places, and students who have no hope of joining the Imperial Capital Academy also set their sights on the branch academies.

The requirements of the Imperial Capital Academy are very high, and those who are not real monstrous geniuses are not allowed to enter. Ordinary students can retreat and study in the branch academies in their respective hometowns, wait for the opportunity, and then pass the assessment to join the Imperial Capital Academy.

Not long ago, the four sentences written by the emperor in the Taiyuan Academy were regarded as imperial decrees by the students of Daxia, and they were known as the "peerless four sentences". Heart, to establish a life for the people, to inherit the knowledge of the past saints, and to bring peace to all generations.

It has to be said that the appearance of these four sentences has pushed the already hot Imperial Academy to a new level.

The emperor's attitude was very clear, and he personally established the transcendent academic and educational status of the Taiyuan Academy, and guided the young people of the entire Great Xia Dynasty into a strong academic atmosphere.

It is worth mentioning that in the days that followed, the Military Machine Pavilion promoted many masters with special identities.

Merchants who are good at business can be masters, and farmers who are good at farming can be masters, blacksmiths, and carpenters. The best in any industry has the hope of entering the Imperial Academy and leaving their superb skills for eternal students.

There are ten thousand ways in the world, no matter traffickers, merchants, sergeants, officials, farmers, craftsmen can be masters, and they are all students.

The education and research of each industry are within the scope of Imperial College.

There is nothing that cannot be taught and nothing that cannot be learned.

This is breaking the convention!

This is true fairness and tolerance in academic education. Anyone can conduct research in any field, and those who have learned something can be teachers.

With the establishment of the Imperial Capital Taiyuan Academy, the entire Great Xia has entered the normal state, and there is no internal trouble to speak of.

The order is issued, the monarchs and ministers are united, and the people work together. The great summer has come!
The state apparatus of the Great Xia Dynasty is constantly recovering, becoming stronger, rising, and stimulating the diligence and potential unique to the human race.

Whether it is the economy, the military, people's livelihood, or education, all fields are booming. This is the situation that Su Chen has been working hard for.

Of course, when all fields of the country are developing rapidly, Li Nianzi, the head of the Ouchi, is not idle.

He is preparing for the emperor's wedding.

The marriage and the imperial decree had already been sent to Yun's family, and the wedding was approaching, so many things needed to be prepared.

The palace, the imperial study.

At Li Nianzi's insistence, Su Chen reluctantly reviewed the marriage affairs that Li Nianzi had prepared for him.

The first emperor died young, and there were no queens and concubines left, and there was no elder emperor in the entire palace, so the marriage could only be decided by the emperor himself.

"It's too cumbersome here, change it."

Su Chen pointed to a few items in the notebook, and reminded Li Nianzi to write them down from time to time: "You don't need to waste money and people, just stay within the imperial capital, and don't force the ten counties to celebrate together."

"The old slave has memorized it all."

Li Nianzi waited beside him.

"Well, that's it. You can handle the rest. Just try to get married before the end of the year."

Su Chen nodded.

Just when Li Nianzi was about to resign to complete the emperor's marriage affairs, a low and hasty voice sounded outside the imperial study: "Dijun, Lord Guo and Lord Jia are asking to see you, it's an important matter in Eastern Xinjiang."

"Ok?"

Su Chen frowned immediately.

What about Dongjiang?
At this time, is the orc empire going to mess with something?

　Knowledge points:

　　"Build a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the sages, and bring peace to all generations" was written by Zhang Zai, a master of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Feng Youlan, a contemporary philosopher, called it "the four sentences of Hengqu".
