Chapter 76 Opening Ceremony



The fifth day of the twelfth lunar month is the day when the Daqin Academy opens.

A total of thousands of students were recruited this time.

There were sons of nobles and high-ranking officials, as well as merchants and common people, adult men and young girls.

The academy treated everyone equally, regardless of their social status, abandoned prejudice against women, and was open and inclusive, becoming the cradle of talent cultivation in the Qin Dynasty.

All this is the result of Ying Zheng and Chu Yuening overcoming all objections.

In the Qinian Palace, Chu Yuening carefully arranged the grand crown and tassels for Ying Zheng.

The young and majestic emperor lowered his head slightly, and the woman's soft figure was reflected in his deep black eyes.

"A Zheng, I'll be waiting for you downstairs. Don't be nervous later~"

Chu Yuening tidied the man's clothes and encouraged him with a smile.

She was still a little uncomfortable giving a speech in front of so many people.

Well...let's leave it to the omnipotent A Zheng!

"good."

Ying Zheng responded softly.

He has been through countless hardships, so he wouldn't be nervous in such a small situation. But how could he refuse the concern of his lover?

"A Zheng, let's leave the palace now, don't be late."

Chu Yuening took the man's hand and walked out.

At this time, in the academy, the students had not yet recovered from the excitement of starting school when they received the news that the emperor and empress would come to preside over the opening ceremony.

Now everyone is even more ecstatic.

He was the First Emperor who swept across the six kingdoms and unified the world! What man wouldn't admire and worship him?

There is also the queen who brought out sweet potatoes, invented papermaking, and opened a school, each of which is a contribution that will last forever.

Under the expectant gaze of the students, a gorgeous and luxurious golden car finally drove slowly over.

"His Majesty the First Emperor has arrived, and the Empress has arrived!"

Zhao Gao shouted in a sharp voice.

The teachers and students present hurriedly made way and knelt in greeting.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng lifted the curtain and got out of the car first, then reached out to help Chu Yuening down.

He walked up to the platform with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, looking down at the students with his majestic eyes, his voice low and loud.

"Everyone, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The students stood up, but their heads were still lowered, not daring to look directly at the emperor.

Han Xin in the crowd secretly glanced at the legendary Qin Shi Huang and was shocked.

He didn't expect that the ruler of the world was so young, but the majesty, dominance and intimidating aura surrounding him made people ignore his age.

Thinking of his great achievements, Han Xin couldn't help but admire him in his heart.

A real man should be like this!

Zhang Liang, who was also hidden in the crowd, kept his head down, his back and palms covered with dense cold sweat.

He did not expect that Qin Shihuang would condescend to come to the academy to meet with the students.

But Zhang Liang couldn't stand out and not attend the opening ceremony, so he could only go with the flow and blend into the crowd, hoping that he would not be exposed.

Just as the students below were having different thoughts, Ying Zheng spoke slowly.

"I established the Imperial Academy to recruit talented people from all over the world to help my Great Qin create a prosperous era."

"You have come all the way here, perhaps for power, profit, or fame..."

"No matter what, as long as you make great contributions to the Great Qin, I will not hesitate to grant you official titles, honors, wealth and splendor. The Great Qin will never treat any meritorious person unfairly!"

After he finished speaking, the students all looked up, excitedly gazing at the majestic and imposing emperor on the podium.

The promise made by His Majesty the First Emperor himself is believed by everyone and yearned for by everyone.

To achieve great things, be granted official titles and become famous is everyone's ultimate goal in life.

"Finally, I hope you will always remember those four words and bring eternal peace to our Great Qin!"

Ying Zheng's words seemed to have magic power, making the students excited.

"Bring eternal peace to the Great Qin!"

"Bring eternal peace to the Great Qin!"

“…”

Chu Yuening in the audience was also infected by the surging atmosphere, and the proud smile on the corner of her lips could no longer be suppressed.

She looked at the young and wise emperor and the high-spirited students, and looked forward to the day when the prosperous Qin Dynasty would arrive.

After Ying Zheng finished his speech, it was the turn of the deans of each academy to speak.

However, Ying Zheng and Chu Yuening did not stay long, but returned directly to the palace.

The students stared eagerly at the magnificent carriage as it gradually went away, but when they saw that it was Prime Minister Li Si who came on the stage, their eyes began to light up again.

Especially law school students, many people regard Li Si as their idol.

Although Xiao He also admired the prime minister, he did not agree with the harsh criminal law he proposed.

A country certainly needs laws to maintain order, but overly harsh criminal laws will only cause complaints from the people.

On the contrary, Xiao He admired the queen who abolished the system of collective responsibility and corporal punishment. Her ideas coincided with his own.

I just don't know when I'll have the honor of meeting the Queen...

As one high-ranking official after another took the stage and announced that they were the dean of a certain school, the students became numb with excitement.

It turned out that I came to the right academy!

With such a ladder to heaven, are you still afraid that you can't display your talents?

All the students were very excited, except for two people whose faces were stiff.

One is Zhang Liang and the other is Xiang Yu.

He clenched his fists tightly, veins popped out on the back of his hands, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Xiang Yu stared at Wang Jian on the stage, the enemy who killed his grandfather.

Reason told him that on the battlefield, winners take all and life and death is the norm.

But his emotions told him that if he didn't avenge such a great hatred, he would not be worthy of being a son.

As if sensing a malicious gaze, Wang Jian's sharp eagle eyes swept over him. Xiang Yu lowered his head to avoid it, and the fighting spirit in his heart was instantly aroused.
