Luye City, the newly established Xiguozijian Gate is crowded with people, and there are not only many ordinary people watching, but also many scholars, local officials in Luye, local tyrants and gentry, and more than half of the entire Jiannandao literati and official ranks gathered here. Of course, those who can enter the Iguozijian are all well-known figures, and ordinary people can only watch the fun outside the gate.

The Western Imperial College was transformed from the original pseudo-Jiannan Prince's Mansion. The county magistrate Cheng Yi's county magistrate's yamen is only four streets away from here, and it is not far away. At this time, Qi Siyuan, deputy envoy of Jiannan Road, had accompanied the Imperial College Priest Jing Yahong, Siye Du Zhongnan, as well as the officials of the Imperial College, doctors, assistant teachers, Xuezheng, Xuelu, dictionary, etc., as well as civil and military officials from Luye County, in two rows, waiting for the King of Wei's charity at the gate of the Imperial College. The hundreds of students in the Imperial College are now far behind.

Qi Siyuan had arrived in Luye City a few days ago, accompanied by the priest Jing Yahong, Siye Zhongnan, Luye County Magistrate Cheng Yi and others, and arranged the opening of the Imperial College. He was so busy that he was too busy to pay. Since the previous publicity had been in place, scholars from all over the country rushed in. Those who could not enter the Imperial College also found ways to enter Jiannan Academy, and the price of buying and renting houses in Luye City became higher.

When Tang Jiusheng entered Luye City, he arranged for Xiahou Lingyu to protect Tiedun to find a place to settle down. Then Tang Jiusheng changed into a nine-stitched court crown, crimson robe, jade gui, rhinoceros belt, leather boots, and dressed in a good costume. He sat on a carriage. The fat man in the same court uniform drove the carriage, and the two went straight to the West Imperial College.

Just when Tang Jiusheng entered the city, the county magistrate Cheng Yi sent the officials who were waiting to greet the prince at the city gate, but unfortunately the official was short-sighted. Unexpectedly, the one who came into the city was King Wei from the light carriage. He thought these people were just ordinary travelers. The small official took a few people to wait there, but he didn't see King Wei's flag and carriage convoy, and he was still confused.

There was still some distance from the Imperial College. Tang Jiusheng, who was far away, saw the crowds of people outside the Imperial College. It turned out that there were countless people. Tang Jiusheng was very happy. This was what he wanted to see. The carriage approached the onlookers. The fat man accumulated enough strength and shouted: "Everyone can dodge, dodge, the King of Wei will arrive! Everyone can dodge, dodge, the King of Wei will arrive!"

The onlookers were surprised when they heard the fat man's yelling in anger. When they looked back, they saw a little fat man in court uniform driving a carriage led by two dark horses slowly walking on the street. When everyone heard the fat man's yelling, they spontaneously made way out. The fat man drove the carriage and slowly came to the gate of the Imperial College. The fat man shouted, "The King of Wei is here!" and then jumped out of the carriage and lifted the curtain.

Tang Jiusheng got out of the car calmly. All officials, scholars and onlookers felt strange. Did the King of Guard not even talk about the show? The dignified prince went out and brought only one follower. It was really rare in the world!

When Qi Siyuan saw Tang Jiusheng, he immediately led officials and scholars to kneel down and whispered: "King Wei Qiansui, Qiansui, Qiansui!" Qiansui's voices came one after another.

Tang Jiusheng smiled and said, "Everyone should be flat!" Qi Siyuan, Jing Yahong and others stood up one after another, and like stars holding the moon, welcoming Tang Jiusheng to the Imperial College. Everyone entered the vermilion gate of the Western Imperial College, which was named Jiying Gate. Tang Jiusheng entered the Imperial College gate and looked around. He saw that there was a well pavilion on the left and a bell pavilion on the left and a drum pavilion on the right, which was very grand. Further forward is the Imperial College Gate. After passing through the Imperial College Gate, we went forward. On the left is the glazed archway and on the right is the double-eaved stele pavilion, which are all similar to the Imperial College structure in Yong'an.

Everyone took Tang Jiusheng all the way

When welcoming the Piyong Hall, when Tang Jiusheng looked up, the two eaves of the Piyong Hall, with flying eaves and raised corners, were green glazed tiles on it, which were obviously half a square lower than the Imperial College in Yong'an City. The four ridges reach the top of the hall, with copper-clad gilded tops at the top and pointed treasure roofs at four corners. Under the eaves of the hall, there is a plaque with golden characters "Piyong" written by the emperor Yin Guang.

The main hall is a brick and wood structure, with enclosed corridors all around it, dozens of red wooden eaves and columns, which are very eye-catching. There are doors outside the main hall, and the doors and windows are diamond patterns with three or six bowls of diamonds. The stone foundation is tall, surrounded by a pool below, and there are white marble railings around the pool, called "Piyong Huanshui". A stone bridge is built on the pool. After watching it for a long time, Tang Jiusheng felt very happy.

Jing Yahong, the Imperial College Priest, asked Tang Jiusheng to enter the Piyong Hall and speak to the officials and scholars. Tang Jiusheng did not refuse and entered with a high spirit. There was a throne in the middle of the hall and a screen. A huge plaque hung above the throne, which contained four big characters: knowledge and action. Tang Jiusheng sat on the throne and looked around everyone below. He saw that the officials and hundreds of students from the Imperial College were each sitting down according to their ranks. Nearly a thousand people sat full of the Piyong Hall.

Tang Jiusheng cleared his throat and smiled and said, "Everyone, today is the first day of the school year of our Xiguozijian. I am fortunate to come here to discuss with you. I am very happy and feel infinite glory! Xiguozijian is the third Iguozijian in our Da Shang business. It is highly valued by the emperor. He even invited Mr. Jing as the priest, Mr. Du as the official, and Mr. Su next door is the neighbor!"

The crowd burst into laughter, and Jing Yahong stroked his beard, nodded and smiled, and felt very happy. Tang Jiusheng said again: "I should have invited Mr. Jing to speak first. After all, Mr. Jing is a priest, a great scholar of the world, and is still the second place in Tongyao for three years. But there is no way, my title is too high, so I have to let this little scholar from Jiangnan Road say a few words first!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Jing Yahong also laughed. Tang Jiusheng finished his own fault and said again: "I started from the time I learned to read. My teacher, Mr. Qiushanze, taught me the way of being a human being. Mr. Qiu said that the Four Books are just to teach you some principles of being a human being, and ultimately be able to cultivate yourself, manage your family, govern the country, and pacify the world! This is the principle in the book. No matter how many books you read, you must first be an individual, then be an excellent person, and finally be a gentleman in human beings!"

All the students whispered, and Tang Jiusheng smiled again: "Of course, some words are easy to say, but difficult to do. Let's talk about the ways of being a human being, cultivating oneself and governing the country. Most of us will not be officials of the court in the future, but may be teachers of the Imperial College or academies. We are scholars and elites of the Shang Dynasty, so we should shoulder our responsibilities to this country and the people!"

Tang Jiusheng looked around the officials and students and said: "The way to cultivate oneself can be read in books, but morality is used to restrain oneself. The way to manage the family and govern the country can be changed by working together! Everyone knows that before, under the rule of the Jiannan Dao, corruption was rampant and the people were living in poverty! This Niu Mandao did not read the books well and did not learn the principles of being a human being taught by the saints. He only had his own selfish desires, which eventually led to his destruction and harming others and himself!"

"When I first came to Jiannan, the people were in distress, refugees were everywhere, bandits were rampant, and the officialdom was also full of ills and ills. The imperial court's government orders could not be passed through Jiannan at all! But can the court tolerate such a situation to continue? That's why I came to Jiannan with the orders. With the help of many benevolent and ambitious people, I finally quelled Niu Mandi's rebellion! Niu Mandi also studied and was also a Jinshi, but unfortunately, he studied

Books are just for the word "fame and fortune", and in the end they are doomed!"

"If you read like a bull and only seek personal gain, isn't that a book in vain? It harms others and oneself, harms the country and the people, and eventually becomes disgraceful. Throughout history, people have respected loyal ministers, filial sons and heroes. If they have read books and read books well, they will make people feel even more respectable! Reading and understanding things, not being foolish, and not being foolish, then it is considered to be truly reading the book!"

"Different people can read different principles in books. There is a saying in ancient times that everything is inferior, but only reading is superior! This king does not say this, but most of the princes in the court are scholars. At the beginning of the founding of the Da Shang Dynasty, some people could become generals and ministers without studying. However, today, it is difficult for the Da Shang Dynasty to be an official without studying. Even if you have passion and ambition, you will not even have the opportunity to become an official if you don't study!"

"I know that some of you may privately say that some great scholars did not take the imperial examinations and did not get fame? But when you laughed at some people, you forgot one thing. Although those great scholars did not use the imperial examinations to get fame, they are also real scholars! They did not waste time, and truly read books well, read them well, and be able to be born and govern the world. If you can do that, then the book will not be in vain!"

"Reading can change a person's fortune and a country's destiny. Therefore, scholars are the hope of this country. I hope you can read good books. You are not unable to study for fame and fortune. You can study for fame and fortune, but while seeking fame and fortune, you must also have the heart to seek welfare for the people. Scholars should be poor and be good for the whole world if they are rich! Fame and fortune can be sought, but they must also benefit the people of the world. Only such fame and fortune can last for a long time!"

"You study, but don't just limit yourself to the world in the book. You should also broaden your horizons and be able to base yourself on the Imperial College and look at the big Shang Dynasty! Our big Shang Dynasty, the strong enemy of the Daxia Kingdom, has repeatedly come to invade, the Western Regions countries are ready to move, and the domestic countries are not calm. Some chaotic officials, such as the oxen land, have caused trouble to the people. We are scholars, how can we read books well? In the future, no matter whether you are a teacher or a political official, you can do your career well, which is your purpose!"

"Now, strong enemies are around, the Great Shang Dynasty is in decline, and the people live in difficulties. I hope that all students can read books with their heart, study hard, stand firm and strive for strength, take the people to live and work in peace and prosperity as their own responsibility! Among all students, there are many loyal and wise children, and parents die for the country for the Great Shang Dynasty. I sincerely hope that you can inherit the will of your parents, establish your heart for the heaven and earth, establish your destiny for the people, inherit your unique knowledge for the past saints, and open peace for all generations! This is the way for scholars!"

Jing Yahong, the priest, applauded and laughed, "King Wei said it well!" Everyone cheered and applauded.

Tang Jiusheng stood up from the throne and walked to Jing Yahong with a smile, "Sir Jijiu, I am just talking about my thoughts casually. Let's invite Mr Jijiu to teach you!"

Jing Yahong whispered: "Prince, I think you don't leave tonight. Let's have a good drink with Lord Qi, Du Siye, Jung Jung Jung, and Mr. Su?"

Tang Jiusheng smiled and said, "Okay, it's better to obey your orders than respect! It's a great honor to be able to drink with the priest!"

Jing Yahong laughed and said, "Okay, then let's make up. The prince will sit down first. I, the old man, go up and say a few words first. These young people want to hear me, the old man, talk a few words!"
