Chapter 627: New Etiquette, New Gadget
Dean Jiang hung his head silently, his heart was uneasy, all the etiquette of today's driver was handled by Xu Zizhen, in his opinion, everything was fresh, he was willing to gamble, but I don't know whether it will be Long Yan angry or happy.
The moment the courtyard door was opened, everyone from Zhao Huan and below was stunned in an instant.
The straight road in front of him was impressively covered with a bright red blanket, only one body wide, but the length extended straight to the second gate of the academy in the distance, that is, the main road entrance to the Minglun Hall Zhuangyuan Bridge.
From ancient times to the present, whenever there are important visitors or even drivers, they usually splash the road with clean water and then sprinkle it with loess, and use a lime basket every few steps on the side of the road to press out a mark, but today Xu Zizhen has changed a way that they have never seen.
How can this red carpet be so long? Zhao Huan tried to step on it, it was soft and thick, and it felt as if he was stepping on a cloud.
Xu Zizhen said with a smile: "Official, this is a new thing purchased by Weichen from Ning Yuanguo, 100% pure wool weaving, and it is called a carpet." ”
Ning Yuanguo is the Dawan of the Han Dynasty, rich in BMW horses, but it is too far away from the border of the Great Song Dynasty and difficult to trade, so no one from the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has ever seen such a long carpet, Xu Zizhen's caravan was first built He mentioned this thing to Yun Shanglan, and he planned to get a long horse for himself to use when he got married, but now when such a file of envoys from various countries visited the academy, he naturally took it out to show the treasure.
Zhao Huan had already stood on the carpet with his feet and walked back and forth a few steps, and couldn't help but praise without words.
Xu Zizhen said in a low voice: "Official, I'm afraid that the envoys of all countries have never seen this thing, I will take it out today to save face, and then I will get you some new ones to send to the palace." ”
Zhao Huan was overjoyed: "Okay, good, Brother Zizhen has a heart." ”
"Official, please." Xu Zizhen stretched out his hand and continued to lead the way, and the envoys and officials of the countries behind him gradually collected their surprise and followed into the courtyard gate.
On both sides of the main road are evergreen cypresses, which complement each other with the red carpet on the ground, giving everyone a great visual impact first.
Not long after coming to the second door, the door was still closed, Zhao Huan had experience this time, stood and waited with a smile, Xu Zizhen clapped his hands again, but this time the door did not open immediately, Zhao Huan was feeling strange, but a loud noise suddenly sounded in the door.
Bang!
The accompanying guards were suddenly shocked, and quickly surrounded Zhao Huan, shouting: "Escort!" Escort! ”
Zhao Huan was rare and calm, waving his hand to retreat from the guards, he had been to Taiyuan, and he could hear the sound of artillery, but where did the artillery come from in this academy? And it's strange that the cannonballs didn't come out of the cannon when they sounded.
Compared with Zhao Huan, those envoys lost their faces, Mu Xianting Yelu Fu had all seen a big battle, and his expression calmed down with a little tightness, and the Duan family brothers and sisters were young and bold, and they knew that Xu Zizhen would not pit them, so they just looked around curiously, but Wan Yanchang was extremely unbearable, as soon as the cannon sounded, he almost sat down on the ground with a soft foot, his face was pale and his eyes were frightened, as for the envoys of Japan, Goryeo and other countries, they all fell to the ground in an instant, holding their heads in their hands and trembling towards the ground, and they didn't know what they were shouting in their mouths.
The reactions of those accompanying officials were also different, Ma Chunlin, Qin Hui and others first thought of rushing to Zhao Huan's side to protect them, while Zhao Qi, Wang Shiyong, and others looked for places to hide, and their embarrassment varied.
Crunch ......
The second door slowly opened, revealing the scene inside, only to see three cannons at the front end of the Minglun Hall door, but the muzzle of the cannon was facing the sky, six gunners in cyan short coats worked in pairs, one filled the medicine and one ignited, and there was a loud noise, but the muzzle of the cannon saw the fire, but no shells flew out.
Zhao Huan suddenly came to his senses and looked back at Xu Zizhen, but Xu Zizhen stood still with a smile and a speech, Zhao Huan realized and looked at several gunners with interest.
One after the other, each with the same interval of time, the three guns took turns firing, and after a total of nine sounds, the sound of the guns completely stopped, and the six gunners put down the coals and other objects in their hands and knelt on one knee.
Xu Zizhen said: "The official family, this is a salute, a total of nine rings, implying that the sky is long, the rule is long, and the non-official family does not need it." ”
This sycophant made Zhao Huan extremely comfortable, he ascended the throne in danger, and now he is under the pressure of a large army, and the six words of the long reign of the sky completely spoke in his heart.
"Good, good! What a salute! Xu Qing, you really gave me a surprise. ”
"Xie Guan's family."
At this time, the envoys and hundreds of officials realized that this was also one of the greeting salutes, and those who made a fool of themselves all glared at Xu Zizhen angrily.
Surprise? Your Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is overjoyed, and it is us who is surprised!
Dean Jiang's originally hanging heart finally let go, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Entering the second gate is the theme of today, which is to visit.
In recent years, all the colleges in the world have always been very clearly distinguished, literature is civil and military and martial arts, but Yingtian Academy took the lead in making changes, this move made everyone in the world stunned, but everyone can see that this college is clearly a higher education institution that cultivates civil and military elites, in order to provide pillars for the future governance of the country and the enemy.
This visit was a joint request made by the envoys of all countries, in order to see the mystery with their own eyes, especially the Jin Kingdom, when they knew that the construction of this academy was Xu Zizhen's idea, and later the desire to see it with their own eyes became stronger and stronger.
The visit starts from the second gate, a group of students in the Minglun Hall have already sat in it, today's lecture is Gu Yi's old master, the autumn is bright, the warm light shines in the front yard of the house, the birds are occasionally heard among the trees, and there is only the sound of the old master's lecture in the quiet.
I have to say that the learning atmosphere of Yingtian Academy is excellent, and even the Japanese Goryeo countries can't understand what Old Master Gu is talking about, but they can deeply feel the dignity and solemnity in it.
After seeing the Minglun Hall, Xu Zizhen led the way and turned to the first attic in the east, here and the Minglun Hall are separated from the east and west sides of the Zhuangyuan Bridge, and there is a plaque hanging on the lintel of the attic, and three big characters are written on it - Xiaochenglou.
Everyone stepped into the building under the guidance of Xu Zizhen, and they were stunned as soon as they entered the door.
I saw that the building was hung with neatly framed scrolls, there were poems, there were picture scrolls, there were poems inscribed next to the paintings, the painting style had landscapes, there were characters, there were flowers and birds, the fonts had the line of books, there were official books and wild grass, all of them were excellent works, as soon as they stepped into the building, it was as if they had stepped into a sea of calligraphy and painting.
Zhao Huan is also a person who loves literature, as soon as he enters the door, he straightens his eyes, he likes this look, and he is reluctant to look at that.
Dean Jiang introduced on the side: "Qi Guan's house, the calligraphy and paintings here are all the works of the middle school students of the academy, with a total of more than 3,000 paintings and calligraphy on the first floor, and hundreds of splendid articles on the second floor......"
Zhao Huan's eyes lit up: "Oh? Lead me to take a look. ”
Dean Jiang was just about to receive the order, but a yin and yang strange voice came from the side: "Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, it's not too late for you to take the splendid article back and read it slowly, why don't you take us to see how your martial arts academy is powerful, how about it?" ”
