    Thank you to Brother "Executioner" for fulfilling Fan's wish!  !  Haha, thank you so much, Brother Luanbao, for coming to the opening as scheduled!  There are a lot of things going on today, so I typed this chapter in a hurry, so I guess there are a lot of typos.  It¡¯s too late to change it, so you can just watch it!  Woo woo

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    To Zhao Zhen¡¯s surprise, Liang Feng refused.

    "You'd better not go. There are already many people you're not used to seeing. Once you go, you'll stir up conflicts. These people have long hair and short knowledge and can't see the benefits in the future. But now they think you're partial. Then you won't be able to  It¡¯s convenient. I¡¯ll just invite Xianggong Wang and Xianggong Ding to stand on the platform. It¡¯s a great honor!¡±

    "Uh, okay!" Zhao Xiaoliu looked disappointed.

    Liang Feng¡¯s policy for the opening ceremony of the National Academy of Talents is ¡°high-profile publicity and low-key celebration.¡±  Fan Zhongyan didn't quite understand: "What does this high-profile propaganda mean?" Of course, he didn't have the concept of advertising in later generations. He thought that as long as the court issued an edict, chose an auspicious day, invited a few big guys to sit around, and set off a series of firecrackers, it would be enough.  Done.  As for publicity, there is no need for that.

    "It's like this. Our Guocai Yuan is not like an academy. We deal with common people who don't study much or who don't care about fame. We have to publicize it and let people know about it. A few days ago, we have already laid the groundwork.  It seems that most of the people in the capital are very supportive and curious. They are the ones who recruited us. So the wider the publicity and the more people know about this matter, the better it will be for us in the future!"

    Wang Zeng received an invitation from Liang Feng, asking him to come to Guocaiyuan on the third day of April to unveil the imperial plaque.  The old man smiled and agreed while stroking his beard.  Suddenly something strange happened: "Yutian, last time hundreds of officials attacked the defense, you suddenly used the "Northwest" magic weapon and counterattacked with a shot. That's all. You are a god in predicting things. Why did the imperial court unveil this time?  It has only been three days since the imperial edict was issued, and "Northwest" has already been published?"

    "Haha, sir, you really want to know the answer?"

    "I really want to!"

    "That's simple. "Northwest" has been divided into two by me. The Yanzhou side is hosted by Monk Zhongshu, and here is the good helper I brought back, Lin Yubing!"

    Old man Wang was so angry that he was speechless. This guy is such a thief. He has been hiding it for a long time to fight against everyone.  So well hidden!

    "Then your workshop is still in Chenqiao?"

    "Yes, hehe!"

    "Shameless, insidious, haha!" The last six words.  Wang Zeng laughed darkly in his heart.

    It was the third day of April in the sixth year of Tiansheng's reign in the Song Dynasty. It was a clear day with a clear breeze and intoxicating spring scenery.  On the Royal Street Avenue, the widest road in Kaifeng City, groups of people kept coming from the Xuande Tower.  From early in the morning to Si hour, there were small Qingluo sedans with eight living seats, some were quietly avoiding Jinshi and others, and some were giving orders to a certain Duke or a certain king.  On this day, Kaifeng Mansion was like going to a market. Crowds of people were sandwiched on both sides of the imperial street, talking unscrupulously about the bicycle frames that came over.

    ??As everyone knows, this is the opening of a branch of the Imperial College. The civil and military officials of the imperial court and many dignitaries have received an invitation from the powerful Imperial Academy Liang Feng and are here to watch the ceremony.

    "Does Liang Feng have such a great reputation? Look, Duke Jingguo's family is here too, and Noononuo, the Chengminghou family is here!"

    "Hey, what's so big about this? Anyone who comes to these houses will definitely come. There is no title, and there is no one in the court. If you don't come out and show off now, no one will recognize you in a few years!" Someone said something mean!  commented immorally.

    "By the way, the prime ministers of the dynasty are still the most popular. You know, three of the five prime ministers are here today! Prime Minister Wang, Prime Minister Ding, and Prime Minister Zhang are all here. Liang Tanhua is so proud!"

    "Not only that, the new Sima Bu Army Commander Shi Gongye is here!"

    "Nonsense, both Liang Tanhua and I have the merits of protecting and supporting her. His young master and Mr. Liang are as good as wearing a pair of trousers. Can you not come?"

    The discussion in the street could not stop the sound of the gong clearing the way.

    In fact, at least one-third of these people are unwilling to come.  However, after Zhao Zhen issued the edict and handled state affairs, when he met anyone he found pleasing to the eye, well-behaved, and obedient, he would all say hello and hint that the Academy of National Talents was a major event. If possible, take the time to go there and create a grand scene for the Song Dynasty.  Increase face.

    He greeted Liang Feng in front of him, and the invitation arrived later. He had no choice but to hold his nose and watch Liang Yutian's performance, except for some really stubborn plans.

    All the convoys did not stop after passing the Imperial College. Instead, they continued forward for dozens of feet, turned a corner, and came directly to the large square outside the Street Viewing Pavilion, where they got off the sedan and dismounted.  The first thing that all visitors do when they get off the sedan is to stare at a newly opened gate in front of them.  The door is divided into three, the middle door is closed, has a black copper ring, and a plaque on the lintel is tightly wrapped in red cloth.??, there is a bright yellow ribbon hanging from the left and right sides and from the middle. It is a royal gift and no one dares to approach it.  Everyone enters and exits through the side door.

    On one side of the gate stood Liang Feng, the jade-faced prince with a full headdress, and Fan Zhongyan, who had a solemn demeanor and a calm demeanor. Liang Feng, with a plump face and a spring breeze, sang and saluted every courtier who came to watch the ceremony.  Today, Gao Shuangmao and Shi Ning, who had not been seen for a long time, came with the family.  It's not easy to be affectionate when there are many people, so we can only communicate with each other by squeezing our eyes.

    The opposite side of the gate has long been crowded with people of all kinds watching the excitement.  Crane your neck and count the names of people of official rank, so that you can go home and talk about them in the streets.

    All the distinguished guests were invited to have a rest first, and by the way, they visited this new school separated from the Imperial College. Xie Jiang, the judge general and supervisor, was actually responsible for the reception.  I don¡¯t know what Liang Feng said to him.  Anyway, Lao Xie was dressed neatly in regular court clothes today and stood in the queue to welcome the distinguished guests.  Anyway, this Guocaiyuan is jointly run by the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Academy, so Lao Xie can be regarded as an ordinary shareholder.

    ¡°It¡¯s just a bit embarrassing to receive bosses and colleagues here.  Fortunately, those who came today are all ministers and nobles with a mild temper and who are not strongly opposed to this matter.  The cantankerous speakers refused to participate.  Liang Feng was naturally happy in his heart, and it didn't matter if he came to make excuses to cause trouble.

    ?????????????????? But there are also people who make fun of Lao Xie.

    "Xishen. Congratulations. You took over half of Liang Yutian's empire without any effort. Hey, ginger is still hotter than ever!"

    "Hey, don't say that. Am I not doing things according to orders? Please support me more in the future! Please support me more!" Xie Jiang could only talk nonsense.

    "Okay, if my family needs to build a house and dig ditches tomorrow, I will have to ask your disciples to help me! Hahaha!" This man smiled, and everyone around him laughed too.  Xie Jiang's face turned red.  I could only hum and pretend not to know.

    The time is approaching, and everyone sitting inside, from Wang Zeng, Ding Wei, Shi Yuansun and others to Xie Jiang, is a little impatient. Why haven't you invited him out to perform his new ceremony?

    There was some restlessness outside, but Liang Feng was still looking forward to something. Fan Zhongyan calmly went over and said, "It's almost time. If it doesn't work, let's start, so as not to keep the gentlemen inside waiting."

    "Sigh. I just want to wait for him to come, otherwise, this National Materials Institute will be a lot worse." Liang Feng was depressed.

    Suddenly, I heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. Although it was not a desperate run, it was still in a hurry.  Liang Feng felt happy and hurriedly took two steps down to take a look. He happened to turn the corner and saw a small carriage, covered with dust.  The carriage did not dare to approach the gate of Guocaiyuan. It stopped with a sound at the corner of the street. Liang Feng stood still and saw a man hurriedly jumped out of the carriage. He was about thirty years old and had already grown a short mustache.  He has a handsome face and is smart and capable.

    Liang Feng was overjoyed, and regardless of etiquette, he stretched out his hands and hugged the other person's arms: "Thank God, you finally arrived!"

    The man smiled bitterly and said: "I am not in a hurry because of the imperial edict, I am in a hurry after receiving your reminder! Hurry and hurry, at least we won't miss the time!" This man was Zeng Gongliang, who Liang Feng had been waiting for, and his fellow Jinshi.  .

    "Come on, come on, let me introduce you!" Liang Feng excitedly held his hand and walked directly to the door. Another man stood with a smile, waiting aside.  Liang Feng smiled and said: "This is a special lecturer like you, a Hanlin bachelor who knows how to make imperial edicts, Master Ding Gong Zhi Ding!" Then he turned to Ding Du and said: "This is a close friend of the lower official, Zeng Mingzhong!"

    Zeng Gongliang hurriedly sang the salute and saluted. Dingdu's official rank was much higher than his, so he must be respected.  Ding Du supported him and said with a smile: "Ming Zhong's name is known to the lower officials. It is indeed worthy of Yu Tian's eager expectation!"

    They were chatting lively here, and the people outside were a little confused and asked, "Who are these two people? They don't seem to be high-ranking officials. How come Master Liang thinks so highly of them that he ran over to greet them!"

    The one who knew better said contemptuously: "Damn, what do you know? The Guocai Academy opened today just to play with their reputations. Don't you know? The man in green clothes is called Zeng Gongliang, and he is Liang Feng's classmate.  , he has become very famous recently, and he is the magistrate of the county in Kuaiji. The water in Jinghu Lake is stagnant, and it was this gentleman who personally designed the Doumen to drain the lake water into the Cao'e River, thus ensuring the peace and prosperity of the people in the south of the Yangtze River. He is an authentic general,  Therefore, Liang Tanhua has to wait until he comes!"

    "Oh, that's it, you really are capable. Haha. Then who is the other one?"

    "The other one, whose surname is Ding Du, also named Gongzhi, is a Zhigao from the Hanlin Academy. Not only is he profound in knowledge, but he is also said to be particularly innovative in weapons. The bed crossbow that he suggested and improved can actually dodge a shot fifty paces!  "

    "Haha, no wonder Liang Tanhua had to wait for the two of them to get together!"

    People around him were talking. Liang Feng finally waited until everyone was gathered, then turned to Cheng Ju and said: "??Please come out and watch the ceremony!  "

    The ceremony was solemn and lively, but it changed from the previous complicated and trivial ones. There were no need for praises or ceremonials. There were only three steps. First, Fan Zhongyan came out and recited the imperial edict with great energy, announcing the establishment of the Guocai Yuan.

    After Fan Zhongyan finished his announcement, Liang Feng crossed his hands and asked Wang Zeng to come out. Ding Wei and Zhang Shixun stood on the left and right under the main gate. Outside the gate, a group of servants sent by Kaifeng Prefecture cleared the crowd into a circle, neatly  Place a circle of fist-sized firecrackers, all connected in series with long leads.  Zhang Ting, the Prime Minister of the Imperial Academy, shouted: "Let it go!" Then two bureau chiefs lit the two ends of the fuse respectively, and only heard dozens of loud bangs, bangs, bangs, and firecrackers went off one after another, the sound was deafening.  The people watching could hardly cover their ears, and when their bodies were shaken, the firecrackers actually flew into the air again, and an even louder sound exploded in the sky. It was so powerful that everyone was shocked.

    Then Wang and Zeng, under the guidance of Liang Feng, smiled and stretched out their hands to pull the yellow ribbon hanging below the plaque on the middle gate. The red cloth fell down, revealing three characters in gold on a black background: "Guocai Yuan" and "Sun".  Under the illumination, it sparkles even more!  (To be continued)
