Chapter 125 The First Person of the Hundred Schools of Thought
Sanghai.
The mirage has returned.
Feiyan made proper arrangements for the mirage, having the Qin army guard it, and also sent a group of Yin-Yang School disciples to be stationed on it.
Then he drifted away.
She first sent someone to report the news to the First Emperor.
Next, she went alone to the newly built Hundred Schools Academy.
The Hundred Schools Academy was located outside Xianyang City.
It covers an area of 500,000 mu and took ten years to build step by step.
This place brought together various schools of thought, forming the largest academy of a hundred schools of thought in the Qin Dynasty.
After unifying the six kingdoms, the First Emperor ordered the construction of this Hundred Schools Academy, and he was even too lazy to build his own palace.
In the words of the First Emperor, the world is not yet unified, so it is too early to build a palace.
They would begin construction only after conquering the world and capturing countless barbarian slaves.
Currently, most of the various schools of thought from the pre-Qin period have moved into the Hundred Schools Academy.
Those who didn't come were basically abandoned outside, either becoming tools for the remnants of the six kingdoms to restore their states, or they were simply unwilling to accept it.
Most of the rest came.
Because everyone wants to compete for the positions of the two vice deans of the Hundred Schools Academy.
There are also eighteen heads of departments, all of whom hold positions of immense power.
Here, young students are recruited, and anyone can freely choose their major.
Among the various schools of thought in ancient China, there is bound to be one that suits you.
In order to secure more courses for the academies, the students often argued heatedly and even came to blows.
For example, this morning there were three classes: one on Taoism, one on Mohism, and one on Confucianism.
There were four classes in the afternoon: one for the military strategist, one for the logician, one for the legalist, and so on.
In short, everyone wants to compete.
One of the two vice-deans was taken by the Taoist master Bei Mingzi.
Another vice president was Xunzi, a Confucian scholar. He personally came out of seclusion and visited other schools of thought before obtaining the position of vice president from the First Emperor.
As for the eighteen heads of the academy, they fought tooth and nail for power.
In short, the competition within the Hundred Schools of Learning is very fierce.
Why is no one vying for the position of dean?
Just kidding. Look at Guiguzi, he himself was willing to be a senior elder of the Hundred Schools Academy.
Guiguzi occupied the position of Grand Elder and sat alone on the fishing platform, much to the regret of many.
No one dared to vie for the position of Dean, because the first Dean was that ruthless person from the Yin-Yang School.
This new Donghuang, formerly the Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School, single-handedly killed the old codger Donghuang Taiyi.
In the end, he defeated three Taoist masters and even the Confucian scholar Xunzi, who acknowledged his superiority.
Even Guiguzi himself said that he had lost.
Even the Six-Fingered Black Knight, the leader of the Mohist school, admitted that he had lost to the new leader of the Yin-Yang school.
As a result, none of the various schools of thought dared to challenge that abbot.
"Gentlemen, what is your view on the world today?"
The Hundred Schools Academy is located in a pavilion on the back hill.
A group of elderly people are gathered together.
The Confucian scholar Xunzi, the Daoist scholar Chisongzi and Beimingzi, and the Mohist master standing to the side.
Sitting in front was Guiguzi, who was holding a cup of tea and smiling at the others.
"How else can I watch it?"
Chisongzi smiled faintly, took a sip of tea, and said, "Take a look at that world map in the academy. His Majesty the Emperor is full of ambition."
"Yes, the outside world is vast, and we would like to explore it."
Bei Mingzi smiled slightly.
The leader of the Mohist school spoke up, "I have the same idea. The world is so big, I want to go out and explore. It's just right to hitch a ride on the Empire's ship."
After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Xunzi, a Confucian scholar.
Xunzi said unhappily, "Why are you looking at me?"
“There are countless barbarians outside. It is the right of us Confucianists to go and educate them. Who else but us can use Confucianism to educate them?”
That's quite clear.
Xunzi meant that Confucianism was about teaching and educating people.
The outside world is so vast, and there are countless barbarians; naturally, Confucianism is needed to properly educate and civilize them.
"Heh~~!"
The group of old men were all shrewd and wise; they all smiled without saying a word.
Xunzi, seemingly unperturbed, asked, "Tell me, what exactly does that person from the Yin-Yang School want to do?"
"Immortality!"
Guiguzi spoke first.
"I'm afraid it's more than that."
Chisongzi shook his head and looked into the void, saying, "She has fooled the First Emperor into what he is now, wanting to conquer the whole world and even the starry sky above."
"Is this something a human could do?"
"Furthermore, she proposed establishing a hundred academies, hoping for a hundred schools of thought to contend and for philosophers to discuss the Dao, with the aim of establishing an immortal celestial dynasty."
Xunzi sighed softly, feeling very complicated.
If you don't want to join, you'll be eliminated or even wiped out.
Because unstable factors are not allowed to exist, otherwise they will hinder the progress of the empire.
Boom!
Just then, a tremendous pressure swept over them.
A group of old men's expressions changed drastically, and they suddenly stood up.
"is her."
"Donghuang, she's back?"
Guiguzi and the others became solemn, feeling the terrifying pressure that was as deep as the ocean.
It was as if the might of heaven was pressing down, with rolling dark clouds, lightning, and thunder, enveloping the entire Hundred Schools Academy.
Countless people looked up at the thunderclouds overhead, feeling an overwhelming sense of oppression.
"I am the Eastern Emperor of the Yin-Yang School, and the first Dean of the Hundred Schools Academy."
"Today, I will specially challenge all the schools of thought. Whoever can defeat me will become the headmaster of the Hundred Schools Academy."
A grand voice echoed from the void.
Everyone saw a proud and domineering voice standing above the thunderclouds.
It was Fei Yan, the mysterious leader of the Yin Yang School.
Thunderclap!
Streaks of lightning flashed, illuminating the entire sky.
Countless people stared dumbfounded at the thunderous scene before them.
Someone like that, still wants to challenge?
I challenge you, you shovel!
"Who among you will go up and take on the challenge?"
Inside the academy, the leaders of the various schools of thought looked at each other.
"Watch what I do?"
Enraged, one of the farmers retorted, "Can I fly? Let one of you fly up and see!"
"Still challenging me? I don't have the ability. I admit defeat!"
The farmer was the first to step forward and admit defeat.
"We can't fight them, we can't fight them at all."
"The dean is no ordinary person."
"Your Excellency, our Legalist school only practices legal principles and is not skilled in fighting. The Legalist school concedes defeat."
Representatives from the Legalist school and others also expressed their opinions.
They're not idiots.
They watched as the Eastern Emperor stood in the void, riding the thunder directly above their heads.
Who the hell would be out of their mind to challenge that?
Putting aside whether you can even get up there, even if you did manage to fly up and challenge it, could you withstand the bombardment of thunder from all directions?
"Isn't this bullying?"
Someone whispered.
It is indeed bullying, because there is no comparison at all.
"Since no one is challenging me, it means that I am the number one among the Hundred Schools of Thought."
"Who is in favor and who is against?"
Feiyan stood in the void, looking down at the entire Hundred Schools Academy.
She gathered billions of thunderbolts into thunderclouds, pressing down on the academy.
This statement carries a strong element of threat.
But no one dared to say a word against it.
"I agree!"
"Your Excellency Donghuang is the foremost figure among all the philosophers of the Hundred Schools of Thought."
"Yes, yes, yes~~"
"We are completely convinced."
"The Dean is invincible!"
Immediately, one person after another began to flatter him.
The Hundred Schools of Thought were all impressed by the academy.
"Really, really—"
Guiguzi stood in the pavilion with a wry smile on his face.
"Do you want to take on the challenge?"
He looked at Chisongzi and Beimingzi, whose cultivation had reached a new level.
"Go aside."
Chisongzi rolled his eyes at him.
"We mere mortals will not embarrass ourselves by offering our services."
Bei Mingzi said calmly.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the guest appearance mission. Would you like to return for settlement?]
At that moment, a system notification sounded.
This signifies that all of Feiyan's cameo appearances have been completed.
He killed Donghuang Taiyi, became the new Donghuang, and assisted Ying Zheng in unifying the world.
Now, the last one to become the foremost figure among the Hundred Schools of Thought has also completed this task.
"Not returning for now."
Feiyan directly chose no.
She glanced at the academy below, then raised her hand and tossed out a stone tablet.
Boom~!
It was left in the center of the academy.
It was stuck there, ten feet high, with characters flashing on it.
"This is a cultivation technique that anyone can understand and comprehend. The world should have a hundred schools of thought contending, and everyone can cultivate. I look forward to everyone in the Great Qin becoming like a dragon!"
After saying that, she turned around and disappeared into the sky as a bolt of lightning.
The disciples of the Hundred Schools of Thought in the Hundred Schools Academy were left both surprised and delighted.
"Everyone cultivates, everyone becomes a dragon?"
Guiguzi muttered to himself, constantly trying to understand the meaning of the sentence.
Meanwhile, on the other side, in a pavilion of the academy.
"Fusu, do you see that?"
Ying Zheng said calmly, "This is my teacher. You should take the various schools of thought as your teachers and learn from their knowledge in order to achieve something."
"Yes, Father!"
Fusu bowed respectfully.
Ying Zheng shook his head and instructed, "You previously studied Confucianism. Now put Confucianism aside and go to study under other schools of thought besides Confucianism."
"If you don't do well in your studies, then you can stay at the academy and become a teacher."
After saying this, Ying Zheng left, leaving Fusu standing there in a daze.
I have a feeling that he has been abandoned.
