At this moment, the opening ceremony process has reached this final step.
On the temporary altar, Li Shimin, dressed in bright yellow clothes, stood alone at the top.
Behind him was a forest, and a large piece of land belonged to the Xianci Academy. In front of him were civil and military officials, many students who had gathered there, and many citizens of Chang'an who came to watch.
Li Shimin's heart was filled with great ambition.
Today, it will surely go down in history and be passed down through the ages, marking the official start of the Tang Dynasty’s march onto the right path for eternity.
The worship has begun.
The so-called worship, in fact, is to report one's own achievements to the Immortal King, the reason for building the academy, and finally, the hope that the Immortal King can protect the academy. The whole sentence is complicated and lengthy.
It's finally the end.
When Li Shimin finished speaking, he performed the final ceremony of worship.
Boom! Thunder suddenly exploded between heaven and earth.
The sky was cloudless just a moment ago, but in an instant, there were flashes of thunder.
Civil and military officials, as well as ordinary people, were all somewhat frightened.
But they soon realized.
This is the Immortal King showing his power! At this moment, everyone knew that the Immortal King in Chang'an City was the master of the thunder of heaven and earth. Originally, many people came from afar with the idea of whether the Immortal King would show his power. But at this moment, when the Immortal King really showed his power, everyone was shocked by the power of heaven and earth.
Even Li Shimin.
Now the thunder roared, and the whole world was like a sea of thunder, with flashes of light continuously. It was impossible to tell whether this was the Immortal King's great joy or his wrath. One could only feel how powerful and terrifying the Immortal King's magical powers were.
final--
There was a loud bang.
Purple lightning filled the sky and fell from high above, hitting the altar. The bright light and loud roar even frightened some people so much that they trembled all over.
But this thunder and lightning came quickly and went away quickly.
In just a moment, everything disappeared without a trace, and the sky returned to being cloudless. But at the last moment, a magnificent sound accompanied by thunder fell from the sky and entered everyone's ears.
"Give me the Monument of Questioning the Heart, and all the scholars of the past should praise its words and ask about the heart."
Until the sound disappeared for a long time.
Everyone dared to slowly raise their heads.
In front of them, where the lightning had just struck, there was a huge white jade stele, and under the jade stele were large cracks left by the lightning.
Without a doubt, this is the Integrity Monument bestowed by the Immortal King! No one expected that the Immortal King would not only show his divine power, but also bestow an immortal treasure upon the opening of the Immortal Academy!
Li Shimin was the first to react.
He bowed deeply again and expressed his gratitude loudly.
He was filled with excitement, although he still didn't know what kind of immortal treasure this Monument of Integrity was, but with this, the name of the Immortal Academy was well-deserved and of extraordinary significance!
Afterwards, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, Empress Zhangsun, and hundreds of civil and military officials came to the immortal-given jade tablet.
There is a line of extremely clear handwriting on it.
"Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the lost knowledge of the past sages, and bring peace to the world for all eternity!"
This sentence is a famous saying by Zhang Zai, a great scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Although the original sentence was used to praise Confucianism, but now everyone can only feel the grand meaning of these few words!
It also implicitly fits what Dingxiang once said, "a self that benefits the country and the people."
This is Shen Yi's method of dealing with some aristocratic families and selfish people!
Dingxiang also understood.
The captain's approach is actually the same as what she said before, "making abstract concepts concrete", except that she used mysterious means to materialize the self that was originally difficult to understand and express in the form of a monument of conscience.
"How about my method?" Shen Yi looked at Ding Xiang with a smile, showing off a bit, "Although it's simple and crude, it's very useful, right?"
This monument of conscience was drawn from the system in the previous world.
Usually used by sects to recruit disciples.
Shen Yi made some changes, and it is just right now! "." Ding Xiang was speechless for a moment, and even wanted to roll her eyes.
She had no idea such a thing existed, so naturally she couldn't think of such a solution.
But, to be honest.
When the mysterious side becomes powerful, it can be said to be omnipotent. It can even directly set the laws of heaven and earth and guide the development of civilization. This kind of thing is simply child's play, but whether it can be done depends on one's own strength.
Lilac has decided.
You must learn more about the methods of the mysterious side.
And at this moment.
Li Shimin already understood the words on the stone tablet. Thinking about the words the immortal had just given him, he understood the meaning of the tablet.
While my heart was shaken, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
"Hahaha." He couldn't help laughing out loud. "With this tablet of inquiry bestowed by the Immortal Lord, we will surely be able to select saints. You are all talented people of the Tang Dynasty. How about it? Who wants to try first?"
Li Shimin looked at the civil and military officials behind him and could not control his inner joy.
Normally in the court, everyone talks about the world, benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but behind the scenes, they only think about the benefits of their families.
Now we have this monument to our conscience.
He wanted to see how many people in this court truly cared about the world and the people.
At this time, after realizing the purpose of the Monument to Integrity, the civil and military officials looked at Li Shimin's happy smile and felt uncomfortable in their hearts. Some were even extremely frightened.
The Immortal King gave down a tablet to inquire about his true intentions!
Nobody knows.
Have you really lived up to what is written on this monument in your heart?
And what if it’s not done?
This is happening right in front of the Immortal King!
Even if the Immortal King would not care about mortals like them, from now on, their status, their reputation, everything will disappear without a trace!
In front of the Integrity Monument, as long as you don't really believe it in your heart, no matter how much you say, it's completely useless! For a moment, no one dared to step forward! "Why, no one dares to step forward, my dear ministers?" Li Shimin had already emphasized his tone, and said with his hands clasped to the sky, "The Immortal King has eyes, and all the scholars of the past should praise his words to ask his heart. This is the Immortal King's great order. In my opinion, if you don't have this heart, how can you be qualified to stand in the court again!"
This sound made many people turn pale.
Among them, most are from aristocratic families.
They looked at the words on the jade stele and felt extremely blinded by them. They even trembled all over, as if thunder would fall from the sky in the next moment.
These people would never have imagined that one day their true inner selves would be revealed to everyone in this way.
In the end, Fang Xuanling stepped forward first.
"Let me go first." Fang Xuanling was also nervous, but he knew that the Monument of Integrity was given by the Immortal King. In other words, accepting the test of the Monument of Integrity was also an order from the Immortal King!
