Yanzhou University.
After the daily classes, the students went to the cafeteria in twos and threes to eat.
After the merger of the Science and Technology School, the Government Affairs School, and the Medical School, Yanzhou University became the first comprehensive university in Dasong.
Different colleges have been established within the university to study in different areas of the university.
The number of students also increased sharply, reaching 26,000.
At this moment, the cafeteria was full of students who were eating.
At this moment, a student suddenly rushed in, stepped on the chair, and imitated the tone of the newsboy, shouting: “Extra number, extra number, big news, the emperor wants to meditate in King Yan, and will hold a Zen throne hall soon, King Yan His Highness is going to become the Great Song Emperor.”
After the students finished speaking, the originally noisy cafeteria suddenly became quiet, and then heated discussions broke out.
Many students immediately came to the door of the student who spread the news. One said: “Xiao Yan, you are too courageous. You can’t talk nonsense about this matter.”
“I will choke to death if I talk nonsense. When my uncle passed by the palace, all the princes in the court just came out of the palace, and they were all beaming with joy. This is what they said.”
“So, this is true!” A student covered his mouth in surprise.
The other students were silent for a while, then suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers.
One message spreads to ten, ten spreads to hundreds, and hundreds spreads to thousands.
As the students in the cafeteria returned, warm cheers rose throughout Yanzhou University.
In the hearts of these students, King Yan is their hero.
It was King Yan who put down the civil strife in Dasong, eradicated the powerful clans in Dasong, defeated Japan and Beidi successively, recovered the lost territory, and even expanded the territory to further places.
The most important thing is that it was King Guangjiang of Yan who established many universities so that they, the children of the Han family, had the opportunity to study.
It was King Yan who created the official examination system so that everyone had the opportunity to enter the court through their own efforts.
Even if they miss out on the imperial court, they can rely on their knowledge to enter research and development institutes, workshops, and firms and get high monthly salaries.
It can be said that it was King Yan who rescued them from darkness and gave them a bright future.
Therefore, they are even happier than King Yan himself when King Yan is about to ascend the throne.
And tonight, I am destined to have no sleep.
The teacher at the university in Yanzhou saw the students going so crazy. Instead of stopping them, he smiled knowingly.
If it weren’t for image, they might be even crazier than the students.
After all, King Yan had personally taught them and was their respected teacher.
Now, they teach what they learned from King Yan to generations of students.
At the same time, houses, restaurants, chambers of commerce, shops, government offices, military camps, and newspaper offices were all in a state of carnival.
Everyone is looking forward to his new emperor – Zhao Xu.
The next day, “Yanzhou Daily” officially published the news about the Zen Ceremony. The news occupied the entire first page, which made people who were still hesitant about the matter no longer have any doubts.
Mi Wen decided on the page last night and sent it via telegram to newspapers in various states and counties.
At the same time as the newspapers published in Yancheng, newspapers in other states and counties also published the same content.
News of the Zen Ceremony spread throughout Dasong in a short period of time.
The carnival naturally spread from Yancheng to other places.
State pastors and county governors from various states sent telegrams to Yancheng, requesting to participate in the Zen Ceremony.
Ma Han, Yang Zhen and other generals sent news to the Ministry of War.
Since there is no urgent war in Dasong at present, these requests were approved.
Once the date for the Zen Ceremony is decided, we will make an itinerary for them.
In addition to Dasong’s officials and generals, the consulates of Korea and Japan in Yancheng also sent people back one after another after receiving the news.
King Yan ascended the throne as emperor. For such a big event, they must come to congratulate him solemnly.
“Your Highness, the auspicious day of the zodiac has been selected, it is April 22nd.” While the Zen throne hall caused huge waves in the great chant, various preparations for the Zen throne ceremony were already in progress.
Zhu Tuo immediately became a frequent visitor to the palace, coming to discuss various details with Zhao Xu every day.
“April 22nd, isn’t there still a month left?” Zhao Xu asked.
Zhu Tuo nodded, “Prime Minister Liu said that Qinshan, Guan Tong and other generals were far away overseas, and he wanted to give them time to come back, so I chose twenty-two days from the two days.”
After a pause, he continued, “Furthermore, Chief Chen of the Ship Department said that he would give His Highness a big gift before His Majesty ascends the throne. It would not be possible earlier. Wang Chong, the director of the Research and Development Institute, also said that he would give His Highness a big gift.”
Hearing this, Zhao Xu nodded, “Then it will be on the 22nd.”
He made a calculation in his mind. The gift Chen Shou mentioned must be Dasong’s first armored ship, and the gift Wang Chong was talking about must be Dasong’s first airship.
These two weapons, one to control the sea and the other to control the air, are exactly the weapons of war that Dasong urgently needs at the moment.
Because the current number of battleships compared with the Western Turks’ navy, he is definitely incomparable.
Then the only thing that can compare is quality.
The emergence of ironclad ships will change the rules of naval warfare.
Although the airship is only the first generation, it uses an old-fashioned steam engine and propeller combination to propel it, which is decades behind the electrically propelled Zeppelin airship during World War I.
But even so, the birth of the airship gave Dasong a rudimentary air force.
It is more than enough to use these airships to defeat the current Western-Turkish army.
After all, although the war going south went smoothly, the casualty rate of the army and marines was significantly higher than when fighting Beidi and the five southeastern countries.
After seeing the fighting methods of Dasong’s army, the Western Generals will inevitably learn from their experience and make targeted improvements.
Then it will be necessary to make them desperate again in the next war.
In the next month, Zhao Xu, Yang Susu, Feng’er and Luan’er have been busy with the Zen ceremony.
Either Zhao Xu was trying on the dragon robe, or Yang Susu was trying on the phoenix robe.
Officials from the Ministry of Etiquette also kept coming to explain various etiquette to them.
In addition, there is another very important thing, which is the selection of eunuchs and maids.
After moving from the palace to Wuji Palace, they had to live with the eunuchs and maids day and night.
It can be said that they control their own food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even safety.
Naturally, unreliable people cannot be allowed to stay in Wuji Palace.
However, this matter did not trouble Zhao Xu. Xu Hark knew the details of the personnel in the palace.
After checking the name list for a while, the two decided to let the eunuchs and maids who came from Jinling continue to take care of Zhao Heng and Queen Mi.
Afterwards, the eunuchs and maids selected by Zhao Xu for Zhao Heng continued to stay. Their backgrounds were clean and they were also his spies in the palace.
He also selected personal attendants from among many eunuchs.
This person’s name in the palace is Xiao Guizi.
When he first formed Yanwei, this Xiao Guizi was among the group of players who passed through the process together with Tsui Hark and Chai Wu.
Later, they learned about Xiao Guizi’s miserable experience.
He is from Yanzhou, and both his parents died at the hands of Beidi.
At that time, the Beidi people could have killed him, but they did not. Instead, they viciously castrated him to make him miserable.
After that, he was sold to Yahang, and then to the palace, where he finally lived like a human being.
Therefore, there is no doubt about his loyalty.
After Zhao Heng arrived in Yancheng, due to physical reasons, he was sent to Wuji Palace to serve as an informant.
This time, the reason why he chose Xiao Guizi was that Feng’er and Luan’er would officially become concubines and could no longer serve him. The palace needed such a general eunuch.
Another aspect is that Xiao Guizi is originally from the Fourth Academy, which makes it easier for him to understand various information.
