Chapter 17: The Principal of the Opening Ceremony is Here!
The news that the Chang'an School Palace is going to open has long been rumored in Chang'an, and the two newspapers of Datang have used a whole page to publicize the opening of the school the day before.
In fact, from the full completion of the project of the school palace, the people have been waiting for a long time, and now, more than ten days have passed, finally in August, the school palace has spread the news of the start of school.
Last night, I was busy from the school palace to the second half of the night, and when I returned to the house, I slept in a daze, and got up before dawn in the morning. Today is the official opening ceremony of the school palace, and as the founder of the school palace, he must rush over early.
After washing up carefully, with the help of wheat, he changed into a set of purple piping Confucian robes, and the young marquis in the mirror immediately became a solemn and solemn young Confucian with a high crown.
It's just that the Confucian robe is obviously wider, and Zhao Chen has a young face, no matter how you look at it, you feel a little nondescript.
This is also something that can't be helped, the Confucian robe represents the image of the Confucian master, at this point, even if the hidden door bookworms who are angry with him in the same nostrils on weekdays, they are also on the same front as Li Gang, and they are a little stubborn.
Probably, in their eyes, a person who does not wear a Confucian robe is not worthy of being a qualified teacher. Zhao Chen was helpless, so he had to agree with the meaning of a few old gentlemen, it was just a Confucian robe, and it was not such a painful thing.
Today's school palace, to be exact, is just a ceremony for the opening of the school, from morning to evening, there will be many performances, more than ten days of preparation, this ceremony, must be unprecedentedly grand.
When Zhao Chen went out. Not only is he dressed up, but he is also dressed up beautifully. The little girl is already a teenager with clear eyebrows. Wearing a lake-green skirt, she looks very cute and cute.
On the Qin Mansion's side, I went to inform it early in the morning, because I had to take the first step and rush to the Xue Palace to deal with things, so the people from the Old Qin family, including the Cheng Mansion, would be before Li Er arrived. will rush to the school palace in Lishan.
When the carriage left the Hou Mansion and rushed to Lishan all the way, the streets of Chang'an were crowded with people, and their faces were full of excitement, talking and laughing and rushing to Lishan.
They are all ordinary people in Chang'an, who are used to boring days on weekdays, and today, the grand opening ceremony of the school palace. For them, it's a big festival.
What's more, His Majesty the Emperor will bring all the queens and concubines in the palace to the scene, and he will be able to take a look at His Majesty the Emperor from afar. For them, it's another thing to show off for a lifetime.
In front of the gate of the school palace, it was already crowded. At this time, it was just the sun rising. However, Li Gang, Pei Lian, and Gong Dou and others. I've been waiting in front of the school palace for a long time.
The eyes of several old gentlemen were full of brilliance, and their eyes looked at the closed school palace from time to time, with indescribable excitement on their faces.
The vermilion gate of the school palace, closed since last night, it was prevented from entering and exiting, the position of the plaque originally left, at this time, it was covered with a layer of red silk cloth, and the shadow was sufficient, and you saw below, several bronzing characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing.
The plaque came from Li Er's handwriting, a beautiful flying white body, and after that, the people in the palace were carefully framed, and it was sent from the palace when it was almost time last night.
Zhao Chen hung it up at night, and waited for Li Er to come over later, and took off the silk cloth himself.
At the beginning, the large stone that blocked the wall of the school palace was placed on the left side of the gate of the school palace at this time, and a red silk hat was also covered on it, revealing the smooth stone surface below.
When Zhao Chen carried this boulder, he once said that he could engrave some school mottos on it at that time, especially to decorate the faΓ§ade.
Li Gang also shook his head and sighed, complaining about Zhao Chen vigorously, wanting to trap him in an unrighteous place, which made Zhao Chen extremely embarrassed, didn't he just pretend to give Li Er face!
It's just that he didn't say this, he just complained in his heart, and as a result, Pei Lonely's thief seemed to see Zhao Chen's thoughts, and turned his back on everyone to say a lot of things to Zhao Chen.
Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy!
The 1,000 soldiers of the new military camp were also temporarily transferred, and under the command of Niu Jinda, the onlookers were isolated on both sides of the road, and a protective line was set up, and they would not withdraw until a while, when Li Er's Qianniuwei arrived.
The sun was getting higher and higher, there was already a scorching temperature in the air, and as time went by, more and more carriages began to appear in the open space in front of the school palace.
These people are all civil and military officials in the court, and at the opening ceremony of the school palace today, Li Er specially allowed him to take a day off, so except for the officials who must stay behind, they all came with their families.
The carriage of the old Qin family has also arrived, in front of Lao Qin and Cheng Yanjin, behind is Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Cheng, and then behind are Qin Yuyan's sisters and brothers, as for Cheng Chumo, he followed Changsun Chong and others early to the side of the school palace.
"Not bad!" Seeing that Qin Cheng's two families were coming, Zhao Chen immediately left Li Gang and the others' side, and greeted Qin Cheng's two families, and suddenly saw Zhao Chen's appearance with a high crown, Qin Yuyan and Qin Cheng's two wives couldn't help but cover their lips and laugh all of a sudden, but Lao Qin looked relieved, looked at Zhao Chen and said approvingly.
"It's just a little awkward to dress!" Zhao Chen saw that Qin Yuyan was also there, and secretly looked at him and smiled, his face was slightly embarrassed, and he looked at Lao Qin and said.
"What's awkward?" Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhao Chen's words came out, Cheng Yanjin next to him immediately stared at Zhao Chen and said, "Is this Confucian robe that everyone can wear?" I Lao Cheng also wants to wear it once, but I have to accompany it! β
Cheng Biting Jin has always had a loud voice like a broken gong, even if there are crowds of people around him now, there is no intention of restraint at all.
As a result, as soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a lot of laughter around them, and Mrs. Cheng lowered her head in embarrassment, eager to find a crack in the ground to drill down.
chatted with the people of Qin Cheng's two families, and at this time a few more carriages came, and then, led by Kong Yingda, several Confucians from the north and south all got off the carriage in turn.
One by one, dressed in wide Confucian robes, with a solemn look on their faces, seeing these people appear, the atmosphere of the scene froze slightly, and a pair of eyes looked back and forth curiously at Zhao Chen, Kong Yingda and others.
"It's still here after all!" When Lao Qin saw Kong Yingda and the others appear, he couldn't help frowning slightly, looked at Zhao Chen and asked, "Come prepared, those who come are not good!" β
The matter of the school palace has always been a thorn in the heart of Confucianism, but since Zhao Chen went to Lingnan and returned to Chang'an again, Confucianism has completely stopped.
However, Zhao Chen knew that this kind of discontinuation was only superficial, the school palace made Confucianism lose face, this time, the school palace will open, and Confucianism will appear.
It doesn't matter if you come to slap your face, or if you want to recover the face lost by Confucianism, in short, you won't wait so quietly, and the school palace will start smoothly.
"Don't worry, Uncle Qin!" When Zhao Chen heard this, the expression on his face remained unchanged at all, looking at Lao Qin and all the worried people around him, he said indifferently: "I've been waiting for this day for a long time!" β
The bookworms in the hidden door, except for the people of the Gong Dou and the Mo family, are all people who study various scriptures and meanings, as Zhao Chen said, these people have been preparing for this day since they came to Chang'an.
The Confucian people came, the civil and military officials of the court also came, and in front of the door of the school palace, there was a lively and extraordinary scene, with noisy voices and all kinds of sounds, mixed in with it.
And at this lively moment, far away from the direction of the palace, Li Er's luan frame finally appeared, mighty, escorted by thousands of Niu Wei and hundreds of horsemen, several carriages in front and behind, straight to the Lishan School Palace.
The first to arrive was naturally Qianniuwei, who automatically took over the defense of the new military camp as soon as he came, and then, Li Er's frame, with the support of the hundred horses, slowly drove towards the school palace.
Li Er sat in a carriage at the front, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and a soft-footed hood, the carriage stopped, and Li Er got out of the carriage and got down.
As Li Er got out of the car, the eldest grandson behind him, as well as Concubine Yin, Concubine Yang and the crown princess, all stopped, followed by Li Er, and all got out of the carriage.
The surrounding people, at this time, saw the emperor and queen of the Tang Dynasty appear, they had already bent down, and the next moment, there was a tsunami-like sound of salutation around the mountains.
"I'm not late, am I?" Li Er waved his hand and signaled to the people around him, and then, with his hands on his back, he looked at Zhao Chen and the others who bowed closely, and asked with a smile in his eyes.
It's just a casual question, even at this time, Li Er is already late, so what else is there to say, Zhao Chen heard this, and smiled at Li Er: "The principal came at the right time!" β
"That's good!" Hearing Zhao Chen call him the principal, not His Majesty, Li Er was slightly stunned, and immediately opened his mouth and laughed loudly, and then, looking at the plaque on the lintel of the school palace, he said to Zhao Chen and the others: "Then let's start!" β
The first step of the ceremony was naturally the unveiling, and before the unveiling, Li Gang read a lot of sacrifices in front of everyone, and then gave up his position to Li Er.
At this time, there was a sea of people in front of the school palace, and there were thousands of eyes, silently staring at Li Er.
Li Er walked to the door of the school palace under the attention of everyone, clenched a silk ribbon hanging down, suddenly turned around, looked at the crowd of people behind him, and the next moment, without hesitation, pulled down the red ribbon covered by the plaque at once.
Just when Li Er pulled down the red ribbon, the plaque covered by the red ribbon was finally exposed to the eyes of the world at this moment. The white border, the blue background, and the four big characters of bronzing - Chang'an School Palace.
The fireworks rose into the air at this moment, and the sound of firecrackers, which had been prepared for a long time, was ignited at the same moment.
In front of the school palace, firecrackers rang out, beautiful ceremonial flowers, colorful flowers bloomed in the air, it was very beautiful, attracting the surrounding crowds of people, resounding one after another cheers.
Zhao Chen'er listened to the cheers around him, and looked at the four big characters of Chang'an Xuegong hanging high on the lintel of the school palace, and suddenly sighed in his heart, and the vision in front of him was a little blurred.
How long has he worked hard for this day! (To be continued.) )
