Chen Yue said loudly: "Some people say that we should cultivate our moral character and study hard to be an official; some people think that we should do everything by ourselves and work on government affairs day and night; these are all correct.

But in the final analysis, as long as the people are fed and clothed, that is enough!

Food is the most important thing for the people, and the road is not frozen to death. Why worry about the unrest of the home and country? Why worry about the unrest in the world? Why worry about the country not being prosperous?

When the warehouses are full and the military strength is strong, it will only be a matter of time before congratulations come from all directions."

"Snap, snap, snap!"

After a moment of silence, the audience burst into thunderous applause. Chen Yue told them in four simple words how the country could be stable and prosperous.

At this moment, a young scholar at the front of the crowd shouted loudly:

"What the prince said is true. Only by having enough food and clothing can the people live in peace and contentment. But since the prince took charge of Liangzhou, he retreated from the Yan Rong army, quelled King Fu's rebellion twice, conquered the homeland of Liaodong three times, and defeated hundreds of thousands of Yan troops in four times.

In the army, the name of Beiliang's 300,000 cavalry became famous all over the world.

Although the prince has great achievements, there are only bones behind him. Many families have been separated from their wives, so isn’t the prince afraid of being suspected of resorting to militarism?"

When this question came out, even Tong Chengxiang and Yao Qingfeng were surprised. The students from Beizhai Academy were really sharp-tongued.

Did he know that the person he was questioning was the king with a different surname who had all the power in the world? If he had a bad temper, he would probably kick the table and fall out.

Ling Xuejun was not uneasy at all and seemed to have anticipated this problem.

Many students were also frightened and looked at Chenyue with hidden eyes, fearing that the prince would suddenly drag him out and chop him with a wave of his hand.

On the other hand, the young man who asked the question didn't blush, and his heart didn't beat, and he looked straight at Chen Yue.

Under everyone's gaze, Chen Yue softly uttered three words:

"Good question!"

Everyone's eyes widened, and Chen Yue's tone was beyond their expectations.

Chenyue said softly: "I joined the army when I was young and fought hundreds of battles. I have countless scars all over my body. When I was as old as you, I was already wallowing in a pool of blood all day long.

Every time after winning a battle, I don't think about the official title on my head that can be promoted again, but I think about how many women are waiting at home for their husbands to come home, and how many old people are asking me for their sons.

, and how many children want to see their father who has been away for a long time.

I couldn't face those eyes, because their husbands, sons, and fathers all fell beside me just now, and their blood even splashed on my armor.

They ask me for a husband and children, what can I give them? Nothing."

Everyone held their breath and listened quietly to what Chen Yue said.

"Do I want to fight these battles? I don't!

But can we not fight? No!

Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, there has been no peace and prosperity that was not fought against foreign enemies! Only when the country is stable can the court devote itself to developing people's livelihood.

Keeping the people fed and clothed is easy to say but difficult to do.

At the very least, we cannot let the butcher's knife of foreign enemies hang around our necks, and we cannot let the mountains and rivers be shattered!

During the Liang-Yan War, hundreds of thousands of Yan troops marched to the border, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers fought in blood. From Shuofeng City in Beiliang to Luoyun City in Yunzhou, where was there not a place littered with corpses?

Before every battle, the word "fight to the death" of our Liang army's 300,000 cavalrymen resounded throughout the sky. But

Are they really not afraid of death?

No, what they are afraid of, I am also afraid of.

Who doesn’t know that the family and the children are still waiting for us to go home? But we have nothing to do. If one day the border is breached and foreign enemies wreak havoc, I am afraid that life will inevitably be ruined!

In order to allow the people in the rear to live a peaceful life, we have no choice but to pick up the machete, get on horseback, and fight in the bloody storm.

Therefore, our border army officers and soldiers all chose to die calmly. Peace and tranquility can only be achieved by fighting, and it takes many lives to achieve it!"

Chenyue's tone gradually rose:

"It is true that a warlike spirit will lead to danger, but there is one more sentence that I would like to send to all of you students:

If you forget to fight, you will perish!"

The hall was still quiet, Chen Yue's sonorous and powerful words seemed to still be floating in everyone's ears, and many people's eyes were a little red.

Even Ling Xuejun, who had been watching the excitement with his hands folded, was in a daze, as if the sound of a deadly battle passed through the void and hit his heart hard.

The man who asked the question before stood up solemnly, bowed and said:

"Su Ming, Tanzhou, thank you for your advice, Your Majesty!"

Chenyue stood up slowly, looked at everyone and said, "This is also my original intention of establishing Hokusai Academy.

We fought the war, but we hope that the next generation, your next generation, will no longer have to be with scimitars all day long. You should have a different peaceful world! You should change your way of life.

You all are my hope in Liangdi. I heard Mr. Ling say that during the Liangyan War last year, many of you clamored to join the front line and join the army.

Yes, that's good. The folk customs in my land are such that they are all good men who do not want to see the danger of their home and country.

But there are specialties in the arts. Your strength lies in governing the world. Only when you are placed in the right place can you play your greatest role. Our frontier army does not lack your enthusiasm. You are the backbone of our frontier army that will always stand firm.

!”

Chen Yue slowly brought his hands together in front of him and said loudly: "No matter where you go in the future or what your achievements are, please remember:

For the people!"

After saying a few words, Chen Yue bowed deeply to the room full of young students.

These scholars, who were in their early twenties or even in their early teens, looked shocked, bowed in unison, and shouted loudly:

"We will obey your prince's teachings!"

…

Ling Xuejun escorted Chenyue and others out of Beizhai Academy. At this moment, the old man had an expression of respect on his face.

In the past, he had never been able to figure out why such a young man under thirty years old could allow heroes from seven states and hundreds of thousands of soldiers to willingly follow behind him.

Even people with long-standing reputations such as Tong Chengxiang and Song Zhilu vowed to follow him to the death.

What magic power does he have?

Now he finally understands that sentence:

For the people!

Chen Yue smiled disapprovingly and said, "Mr. Ling, is that Su Ming your favorite disciple?"

In fact, Su Ming's questions were very tricky, and it could even be said that he was deliberately making things difficult for Chen Yue, but his courage alone made Chen Yue satisfied.

"Haha, Your Majesty has a good eye." Ling Xuejun smiled noncommittally: "What do you think of this person, Your Majesty?"

Chen Yue said lightly: "With a little practice, you can become something great!"

"Haha." Ling Xuejun laughed loudly: "I'd better not say such comments, lest young people become too conceited."

Everyone smiled slightly, it seemed that Ling Xuejun's method of educating his disciples was also very strict.

"alright!"

Chen Yue, who walked outside the courtyard gate, chuckled and said, "I'm really sorry that I wasted most of the old man's time today."

"Your Majesty, I have benefited a lot today!" Ling Xuejun said solemnly.

"Farewell!"

"My lord, walk slowly!"

As soon as the two groups separated, Xu Luo, who had been guarding outside the courtyard gate, came forward and whispered in Chenyue's ear:

"Your Majesty, Mr. Huangfu is back and is waiting in the mansion."

"oh?"

Chen Yue raised his eyebrows: "Let's go and see if Mr. Huangfu can bring us some good news!"
