At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 297: Three Sacrifices in the Academy
This shows the power of the King of Xiliang.

Under the gaze of countless people from both the Northern Wei and Central Plains martial arts circles, Xiao Han and Ning Xi arrived together.

He was wrapped in a black dragon robe, while Ning Xi was in a long dress, looking elegant and graceful, with a faint smile on her face. She was truly the most beautiful woman in the world, stunningly beautiful.

"Meet the King of Xiliang."

"Meet the Princess of Xiliang."

Everyone stood up, no matter if they were from the Northern Wei or the Central Plains, no matter if they were from the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, or the two paths of good and evil, all those unruly people in the martial arts world stood up, bowed and saluted.

Even though he was unwilling in his heart, he dared not show it on his face.

"No gift."

Xiao Han waved, took Ning Xi's hand, and walked towards his seat. After sitting down, he swept his eyes over the crowd of thousands of people.

He said: "I am very satisfied with your ability to watch the ceremony. Giving face to Master Xun is giving face to me. Not giving face to Master Xun is not giving face to me."

Threat.

A thinly veiled threat.

Just a few simple words, but they fully demonstrate the words arrogant and disrespectful.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and everyone in the Northern Wei martial arts world who received the invitation couldn't help but twitch their lips.

But they didn't dare to say anything. Those people from the Central Plains martial arts world all had faces as black as charcoal. They were angry but couldn't speak. They could only hold it in their hearts.

"Why? Do you have any opinions?"

Xiao Han seemed not to notice their expressions, and spoke on his own, "If anyone has any objections, you can raise them with me in person."

Now that you have said this, who can and who dares to have any objection?

"This little bastard, even Xie Xuanli, the Marquis of Zhenbei, was not as arrogant as her."

A righteous hero secretly complained in his heart, but he dared not say it out loud.

"Master, are there any others who haven't arrived yet?"

Xiao Han asked.

Master Xun stood up and said, "Only the people from the Imperial Academy have not arrived yet."

"No wait."

He snorted coldly, "What a great honor! I am here, but they are not. Could it be that they are more majestic than me?"

"No need to wait, the auspicious time is coming soon, let's prepare for the ceremony."

"it is good."

Master Xun nodded slightly.

"woooooo"

"woooooo"

Loud trumpet sounds rang out on the high platform, hundreds of trumpets were blown at the same time, followed by shirtless strongmen swinging up their sledgehammers and beating the cowhide war drums.

The deafening sound of war drums and trumpets mixed together and resounded through the sky. Immediately afterwards, disciples of various schools of thought came onto the square. There were more than a thousand of them, shouting out famous quotes from various schools of thought.

These disciples stood under the statues of the sages of the hundred schools of thought respectively. Master Xun, along with several disciples, climbed up the white jade stairs in front of the high platform, carrying their stomachs and the large cauldron used for sacrifice, and faced the two martial arts temples.

He took out a scroll of imperial edict from his sleeve, which was stamped with the seals of the King of Xiliang and the first-rank general.

"In accordance with the harmony of heaven and the advantages of geography, culture is used to build a nation and learning is used to stabilize a country. Today, I accept the entrustment of King Xiao Han of Xiliang and repair the Qi County Academy to continue the learning of the sages of the pre-Qin period, cultivate the righteousness of the world, and usher in eternal peace."

The purpose of the academy is to collect the theories of hundreds of schools of thought and carry forward the past and open up the future. All students in the world, those who are concerned about learning, and those who want to learn can enter the academy, regardless of whether they are from a poor family, whether they are scholars, farmers, merchants, or workers, regardless of whether they are from the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Central Plains, or the Western Regions. "

The more than a thousand words shocked everyone. The domineering power contained in them was unprecedented and unparalleled.

"The Qi County Academy is known for its learning. It has ten literary palaces, including Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, military tactics, Mo, agriculture, and water." "It has seven martial arts palaces, including swords, spears, halberds, fists, feet, and palms."

"Under the 17 palaces of civil and military affairs, there are hundreds of officials to accommodate the knowledge of the world."

Master Xun put away the imperial edict in his hand, looked at everyone, and said loudly: "The palace has hundreds of palaces, both civil and military, regardless of family background, regardless of wealth, the palace masters of each palace are all selected from the heroes of the world, those who recommend themselves, those who compete in civil and military competitions, and those who have prestige to convince the public are accepted."

"But there is one rule. Anyone who becomes the head of the academy must teach all the students in the academy without hiding anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place fell silent. Countless people quickened their breathing, and many even had red eyes.

"Master, you forgot one thing."

At this time, Princess Ning Xi said: "All officials and palace masters are under the seal of the third rank of the royal palace."

"hiss."

Many people couldn't help but gasp, and their hearts began to stir. If they could become the master of a palace, they would gain both fame and fortune.

Even many masters of the Northern Wei Dynasty were extremely tempted.

There are also many smart people who see through the mystery. Once you enter the palace, you are almost bound to the King of Xiliang.

Even if Xiao Han does not work for him, he will still teach the disciples in the academy. Most of these disciples, when they develop skills in the future, will probably stay in Xiliang and eventually be used by the King of Xiliang.

"Good plan."

The visitor from Sanqing Mountain thought to himself, amazed in his heart, and looked at the King of Xiliang. Such a grand gesture was not something that an ordinary person could do.

Even if these people saw through it, they were powerless to do anything, because Xiao Han gave too much. He gave them fame and profit. Moreover, once they entered the academy, they had the support of the King of Xiliang and the 500,000 cavalry of Xiliang.

Even these big sects and families were tempted, not to mention those scholars from humble backgrounds and the wandering knights in the martial arts world.

"besides."

Xiao Han on the throne said calmly: "Becoming the master of each palace will allow you to browse the 10,000 volumes of martial arts secrets in the academy, and you can also view many ancient rare books."

The bet has started to increase again.

Many people opened their eyes wide, feeling that they could no longer suppress the excitement and surge in their hearts.

However, there are still people who are clear-headed. Although the academy is known as the Palace of a Hundred Palaces, the most popular positions are indeed the positions of the Lord of the Ten Palaces of Literature and the Lord of the Seven Palaces of Martial Arts.

If one could stand out and occupy one of the positions, he would instantly become famous in both the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Central Plains.

For people in the underworld, this is a huge temptation, and one that is hard to resist.

"Sacrifice to heaven."

Master Xun shouted, and Xiao Han and Ning Xi stood up, walked up the white jade ladder to the high platform, and completed the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky in front of the four-legged cauldron. Then they paid tribute to the sages and saints of hundreds of schools of thought throughout the ages, and finally paid tribute to their ancestors.

After the three sacrifices, a huge stone platform was vacated. If nothing unexpected happened, the position of the palace master of each palace would be decided here today.

In the martial arts world, no one is willing to submit to anyone else. Apart from their undisputed absolute strength, they also have to rely on their fists, feet and weapons.

"Sir, can I come on stage?"

Qingyao was eager to make something happen.

"Which palace do you want to compete for?"

He was curious.

"Ahem, from the Sword Palace, right?"

As soon as Qingyao finished speaking, she looked at Dayueer beside her and said weakly, "Sister Dayueer, are you going or not?"

"Don't go."

Dayueer shook her head, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I will fight for the position of Sword Palace Master. If I can't win, I can also fight for other Palace Masters."
