Chapter 260 Prince Fusu's Gift to His Students
Chen Ping, wearing a wide-sleeved Confucian robe, could not see anything.
But standing on the high platform with his clothes fluttering, he did not feel the slightest bit of discomfort.
The pair of eyes that were clearly covered with black cloth now slowly looked around, but their gaze, as if real, fell on a person.
"Hello, fellow students. My name is Chen Ping. I am honored to be chosen by you as the vice president of the Great Qin Royal Academy.
"Today, General Ping summoned the chief guard here because there are two things that you need to know."
"First, I'm sure you all know the news about the Heroes' Conference."
"The Heroes' Conference is divided into literary and martial arts tests. As far as I know, many disciples in my academy have told Mr. Bai Yu that they want to participate!"
"Mr. Bai rejected you all before, I hope you understand."
"After all, this matter is the responsibility of the Juxian Hall under the jurisdiction of Master Fusu, and Mr. Bai does not know the details, so I will reject you in advance."
When Lu Zhi heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
There's drama!
Ha, I never expected that the first thing I would do when I arrived today would be to talk about the Heroes Conference!
God knows how sad she was when she applied to the old white guy and was rejected!
Now it seems that the vice-president is more reliable than the academic supervisor.
And the story of evenness continues.
"Since this matter involves many students in the academy, I have also asked for your opinion on this matter."
"But in your opinion, this matter is actually very simple!"
"Students of the academy who want to participate may do so!"
"But students from the academy will never be allowed to participate through the college!"
"What does that mean?"
"Students who want to participate in this Heroes Conference and strive to win the championship should go out and sign up at Juxian Hall!"
"If you win, it's because of your own ability. If you lose, it's because of your own lack of strength!"
"The Great Qin Royal Academy is merely a place for teaching and educating people. It will never participate in any form of competition or fighting!"
At this moment, Chen Ping no longer had the smile he had before, but instead looked very serious.
Chen Ping not only understood the young master's ideas, but also strongly supported them.
Because it may not be obvious now, but it will become more and more obvious in the future.
That is, the importance of the Daqin Royal Academy in Daqin will become increasingly higher.
Not only because it carries the title of "royal", but also because it is the first proper official academy in Daqin.
This is something that Juxiantang and other private schools where teaching is passed down from master to apprentice cannot compare to at all.
It is precisely because of this that if someone carries the name of the Great Qin Royal Academy, then shouldn't others give him face?
Ying Yuan and Chen Ping took this hidden worry into consideration and simply nipped this tendency in the bud at the very beginning.
Let’s tell everyone clearly that the Daqin Royal Academy is only responsible for teaching and educating people, everything else is up to you!
These words may seem a bit cold and heartless, but to the ears of the young students, they sounded like heavenly music.
"Hahaha, I thought I would never get the title of top scholar, but I never thought, haha, it would eventually be mine, Jiang Huanian!"
"Humph, Lao Jiang, you are probably blinded by your thoughts. In terms of brilliance and talent, what do you think you are? You'll see when the time comes. I'm afraid you won't even make it into the top ten."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Jiang will definitely win the championship in one fell swoop, humph!"
"You are not afraid of slipping your tongue when you speak. Let's not talk about the great scholars and talented people outside. Just talking about our academy, haven't you heard of the names of the brothers Lu Zhi and Lu Su?"
"Bah! They just got lucky in the academy!"
"Haha, I don't care whether I win the first prize or not. I just think that this Heroes Conference will allow me to see the elegance of talented people from all over the country in my Great Qin!"
"Hahaha, Master Yuan is so wise! Without his nod, we would have been stopped by old man Bai!"
For many students, getting the top prize in literature may be difficult.
But...it doesn't hinder their ambition to go out and participate!
There is a poem that says: You must know that the young man had lofty ambitions and promised to be the best in the world!
When you are young, who doesn’t have a dream of making a name for themselves?
This was the case for all the other students, let alone Lu Zhi, who had already considered the title of top scholar as her own.
At this moment, the cold light in those slightly narrowed almond-shaped eyes was almost overflowing.
Lu Su, who was standing by, couldn't help but secretly groan when she saw her sister like this.
It’s over, it looks like my sister has completely lost her mind!
"Everyone, I know you are very happy and anxious, but please don't be anxious yet!"
On the high platform, although Chen Ping could not see, the constant discussions in his ears told him everything.
So, he immediately poured a bucket of cold water on everyone's heads.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering if there was some other explanation behind this?
"Well, don't panic! Good things!"
"Everyone should know that our Great Qin Royal Academy originally had three vice presidents!"
"In addition to General Li You who led the army to fight against the Xiongnu, there is also the famous and virtuous Prince Fusu of the Qin Dynasty!"
"And our Vice President Fusu is not only famous for his virtue, but also kind and generous!"
"Look, he has even prepared a great gift for all the students!"
At this point, Chen Ping suddenly remembered the various "amazing" slogans that the young master had reminded him of before he left, such as "big opening promotion", "you'll be cheated if you don't buy", "the shopkeeper ran away with his sister-in-law", etc.
Very well said, don't say it next time.
Chen Ping has experienced many storms.
But after hearing those words from his own young master, he still couldn't help but sigh.
This is because the young master pretended to be sick and could not come. Otherwise, who knows how the students of the Great Qin Royal Academy would look upon their own young master!
"Big gift?"
"Prince Fusu sent us such a gift? Why?"
"Well, Master Fusu doesn't seem to be very well off, does he? He still has to support his Juxian Hall?"
"Maybe not the kind that costs a lot, but the kind that is well-intentioned?"
"..."
All the students are quite interested in this topic.
But as they are now well-informed in Xianyang, they have long known that Prince Fusu is poor.
After all, Prince Fusu was an honest child. Not only did he not make money, he also struggled to support the Juxian Hall.
As for the students' discussions, neither Chen Ping nor the school supervisor, Old Man Bai, paid much attention to them.
Because Ying Yuan had already made up his mind that students cannot be quails or yes-men who only obey orders, but must have their own ideas.
Therefore, as long as the students did not rebel, violate Qin laws or violate the rules and regulations of the academy, they would be left alone.
Because of this, they didn't take any of the discussions seriously.
But suddenly, as teams of strong servants carried boxes into the hall and opened them, all the discussions stopped.
Everyone stared at the items in the box in a daze, they were all dumbfounded!
"Paper!??"
“Is this a book made of paper?”
"Oh my God!"
