Chapter 168
The students of Jinling Academy have become accustomed to the emperor's personal visits, often visiting once a month, and at most three or four times, and Baili Wuji has obviously taken this matter as a routine.
And the students naturally like the emperor's presence, which is not only the glory of making the students become the protégés of the Son of Heaven, but more importantly, the students' future has a relatively perfect guarantee.
Officials from all over the Ming Kingdom, how many people have seen the emperor with their own eyes? And the students were able to meet the emperor every month.
Those who can get close to the emperor will benefit a lot after all.
What's more, the students can learn about the latest national politics and the emperor's thoughts in the mouth of Baili Wuji, which has the best guiding significance for students to engage in politics in the future.
Baili Wuji wants to expand his territory with martial arts, and as a protégé of the Son of Heaven, he naturally supports it the most.
The most important thing is that students like Baili Mowgli, students come to the school from the county examination and the state examination, and their age is almost the same as Baili Wuji, and Baili Wuji's thoughts and words, even if they converge, there is always a time when they erupt.
And these words and thoughts attract young students, and gradually there is blind obedience.
Young people are the most easily instigated, and now Baili Wuji wants to take advantage of this.
In the first year of the restoration, on the second day of the seventh month, the time of the hour.
Baili Wuji brought Xu Shiming, Sun Guangxian, and Feng Dao to Jinling Academy.
Began his first speech.
"Since the death of the Tang Dynasty, in the past few decades, the Khitan whale has devoured countless territories in our Central Plains, killed countless people in our Central Plains, plundered countless properties in our Central Plains, and the people of the Central Plains are looking forward to the Northern Expedition of the King Division. However, the Liao people have been established for a long time, and the Central Plains are weak and unable to save the northerners from fire and water. Every time I think about it, I can't sleep at night. Now, the Liao army is going south again, plundering our border people, killing our people, who can bear it, and I am determined to instigate the civil strife of the Liao people. And the opportunity to compete with Fusang, led the king to the northern expedition to save the northerners to hang upside down. But there was no response from the people. How? ”
Thousands of students were silent.
Baili Wuji felt a sadness in his heart, even the students couldn't figure it out, how to deal with the people of the Ming Kingdom.
You can't do a forced conscription.
At this time, one person got up and said, "The student's name is Shen Taowen." Wuju Branch. Huzhou people's. Please ask Your Majesty, the Liao people are cruel and known to the world, but the Liao people are the people of the Zhou State, and they have the Zhou court to make their own decisions, why do they want the soldiers of the Ming State to shed blood for other countries? ”
"Uh......." Baili Wuji is speechless, this Xu Shiming is to carry out Baili Wuji's order, so that the students' homework has added the concept of home and country to the coursework. But it did not let the students understand the concept of nation.
It's not just students. Even all the officials of the entire Ming Kingdom may not know the concept of nation.
In this era, the people only know the country, but they do not know the nation.
Baili Wuji quickly organized words in his head, and after a short breath, Baili Wuji said: "When the Khitan destroyed the Tang, I was silent, because I was not a Tang person, when the Khitan destroyed the Jin, I was silent, because I was not a Jin person, and now, the Khitan is going to destroy the Zhou, if I am still silent, then in the future, the Khitan will destroy the Ming, just ask, who else in the world will help me?" ”
There was silence again, and the students were all pondering.
But at this time, one person stood up and said: "The student's name is Cui Renji, the Department of War Law, and the Qiantang people's clan." Please ask Your Majesty, if you want to go on a northern expedition, why not attack the Zhou State first, and then go north to attack Liao after the Zhou is destroyed, so that the Ming State will have no worries. ”
The question once again returns to the concept of nation, in the minds of these students and the people of the Ming Kingdom, perhaps the Zhou State and the Liao State are the same, and they are both foreign countries.
Although Baili Wuji has the heart to guide, he doesn't know where to start.
I didn't want to be cold, Baili Wuji said while thinking: "I was born in Jiangling, from Badong, for the people of Nanping, based on Gyeongju, for the Shu people, Wang Yu Chu, for the Chu people, called the emperor in Jinling, for the Wuyue people. Who am I? ”
The students in the audience were all talking to each other, and there was a lot of noise.
Baili Wuji shouted loudly at this time: "I can tell you that I, from beginning to end, am for the Han people. ”
Baili Wuji's speech began to flow smoothly, and as soon as the words were smooth, the momentum began to come out.
As soon as the momentum came out, combined with the identity of the emperor, it was extremely infectious.
"When I established the Ming Kingdom, I should take it as my responsibility to recover the lost land and expand the territory, and all the places where the Han people go are my land, and everything that the Chinese language hears is my state. You are carefully cultivated by the imperial court, and you are the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, so you can know the use of what you have learned? Soldiers use swords and literati to write, and they fight to the death. When the land was mourned and the country was humiliated, the literati and military comrades upheld the dignity of our Han people with unyielding integrity. It is for the backbone of the Han people! ”
These words were uttered in one go by the mouth of an emperor, and they infected every student present, and young people are always easy to be instigated, especially this kind of sensational words with a strong bloody atmosphere, and no student can resist it.
When the students had tears in their eyes and shouted "Daming mighty", Baili Wuji took advantage of the situation to shake his sleeves and wave his hand to gently wipe the sweat from the corners of his forehead, and this action was combined with Baili Wuji's speech, which made the students' passion more intense.
This kind of passion is more contagious, and the elderly people such as Xu Shiming on their side are also excited.
Baili Wuji secretly took a few breaths, stabilized his emotions, and used the emperor's background to incite the students' pride in the Han nation, and then took the opportunity to throw out the idea of the Han nationality, which depicts the blueprint of "everything you hear in Chinese is my state", that is, as long as you are willing to learn the culture of the Central Plains and are willing to speak Chinese, then it is my state and your own people. Except for the Central Plains, China is full of ethnic minorities, and with this Han concept, it is possible to avoid some internal friction as much as possible.
Baili Wuji gently pressed his hands to signal the students to be quiet.
At this time, a discordant voice came out, and there were always a few freaks among the students who were not infected.
"The student's name is Guo Ting, the word Xinchen, Pengcheng, Xuzhou. Please ask Your Majesty, if after our army's Northern Expedition, the Zhou army secretly colludes with the Liao people to attack our country, how to deal with it then? ”
Baili Wuji was very unhappy in his heart, this good speech had already achieved its goal, and it was interrupted and disturbed by this kid.
However, his question is also reasonable, Baili Wuji has never thought that Guo Wei would do such a thing, but purely in terms of military affairs, as long as there is something that may exist, it must be considered, and Baili Wuji agrees in his heart.
"I remember you, years ago, you were sorry for me."
There was a burst of laughter in the room.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, remember the students, even if the students have the courage to embarrass Your Majesty."
"I remember the first time you asked a question, it was the question of how to go north to the Khitan, I remember that you said it very insightfully. But after a few years, why are you still in school? (To be continued......)
