Chapter 42 Destroying the Hidden Sect(2/2)
After a hearty meal, the four of them headed to Yushan Academy. Along the way, they also met many students from other places. After learning that they would soon become classmates in the future, the team grew stronger.
"Brother Wenyuan, how long does it take to arrive at this academy?"
"Brother Yunlong, to be precise, the entire area enclosed by the wall is where the academy is located."
"Brother Wenyuan, don't joke with me. How is this possible? How can the academy have such a large area? It is no less than a city."
"Haha, Brother Yunlong, Brother Wenyuan are not kidding you. There is indeed the academy inside this wall, but if we want to enter through the main entrance, we have to walk for a long time, so we'd better rent a carriage on the first day of school.
So as not to be late.”
"This...but didn't Lord Qin say that there are currently only more than sixty students in the academy?"
"That's just because the academy has just been established. Although there are only more than sixty students, do you know the identities of these students?"
"What identity?"
"Most of them are young masters from the Duke's family..."
"What about the other half?"
"The worst ones are the young masters of the count family. I heard that even the king of Yue and the king of Han studied in the academy."
"Ah? If that's the case, aren't we going to be classmates with the King of Yue and the King of Han?"
"That's natural, but after we enter the academy, we need to be careful not to offend those princes, grandsons, and nobles. Otherwise, not only will we suffer, but our parents and relatives will also be harmed."
Being able to become classmates with the prince is naturally a supreme honor for these common people, but it also means great risks. Accompanying a prince is like accompanying a tiger, and the same is true for princes. One word from the other party can kill them.
I can't afford to offend.
The group of people finally arrived at the main entrance of the academy, but at this time the academy had not officially opened. According to ancient regulations, the main entrance could not be opened casually. The group could only climb up and overlook the scene of the academy.
"Is this the academy?"
The four people from Shangzhou stood on a stone in the distance and looked at the academy nearby. Although the style of the building was a bit strange, it did not hinder the overall beauty and even made it more charming.
On September 1st, the official opening day of the academy, there was a long queue of horse-drawn carriages at the entrance of the academy. Many students had to get off the carriages halfway and walk to the academy.
Early this morning, the middle gate of the college opened wide. As soon as you entered, you would find the registration area. You only need to take out your photo to check that everything is correct, and then you can wait to arrange your dormitory.
In order not to make the scene too chaotic, the academy also postponed the return time of old students by one day. This time, a total of 273 students were admitted to the academy, which was much more than Qin Hao expected. This was also unexpected.
As for the method, on the one hand, it was difficult to offend the noble officials in the imperial court, and on the other hand, when old gentlemen like Yushan saw qualified civilians, they all wanted to get them into the academy, and in the end, the number of places was seriously exceeded.
Since everyone is here, we can only accept them first. Fortunately, the academy is big enough for these children.
"Your Majesty is here!"
"I announce that the opening ceremony of Yushan Academy has officially begun!"
Compared with the brief ceremony last time, which only had more than 60 students, this opening ceremony was much grander. Even Li Shimin came to join in the fun.
This can also reflect the importance Li Shimin attaches to the academy, and it also sends a signal that he will use all the people in the academy in the future.
