Chapter 683 The Wrath of the Commoner

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the new wind blows hard.

The surrounding area of ​​Youjing is covered with vast expanse of snow, and the mountains and rivers are of the same color.

In the eastern suburbs of Youjing City, this is where the Youjing Master Craftsmanship Workshop is located.

The Youjing Master Craftsman Workshop has been established for more than three years. It is already the number one arsenal in Zhao State, and it is directly under the jurisdiction of the Zhao State Ministry of Industry. More than [-] craftsmen make weapons here every day, and there are also [-] garrisons strictly guarding the surrounding area to prevent other countries from spying on it. Steal Zhao's advanced technology.Now Zhao Jun's sharp weapons, kerosene bombs, barberry crossbows, three-stone crossbow machines, and eight-point guns are all honorably produced by Youjing Dafangfang.

Because of the existence of the Youjing Master Craftsman Workshop, the east of the city has gradually become a new city.

This day, the artisans who had just woke up from the pit and were about to go to work suddenly heard a burst of vigorous shouts from the school yard outside the city.

It turned out that in the school grounds outside the city, Zhao Jun's new lecture hall was established.

There are a total of 500 scholars in the first phase of the lecture hall, of which 320 are students who have passed the martial arts test, and 180 are selected from the army, Yiwei, and Wuwei of the two armies stationed in Youjing.These generals are all generals who have made outstanding achievements in combat.

However, when the new wind blew hard and heavy snow fell, the bodies of the [-] freshmen standing in the martial arts lecture hall were covered with a layer of white snow.On the left and right of them are the instructors of the martial arts hall, and they also stood with their hands behind their hands in the snow like the recruits.

Lai Ji was also selected to come here after passing the county martial arts examination. He parted ways with his two good friends Zhang Wenguan and Sun Chuyue, and embarked on a different path.Lai Ji thought that as the son of Lai Huer, the general family would have special treatment, but he didn't know that there was nothing.

In the freezing weather, a sound of horseshoes came from afar.

Lai Ji squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, but saw a man in military uniform riding a horse from the wind and snow, surrounded by the cavalry of Zhao Junting's guard behind him.

Laiji didn't expect Emperor Dazhao to appear like this. He thought Li Chongjiu would come in a carriage or jade chariot.Unexpectedly, Li Chongjiu was so simple, Qingqi Jiancong came here on horseback, and he was not even wearing a dragon robe, but a military uniform when the general received the ceremony.

Li Chongjiu came to the front of the stage and threw his stirrups off his horse. His movements were extremely skillful. This skill almost made Lai Ji applaud.Just this move has already shocked Lai Ji, the freshman in the audience.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" The five hundred new students gave a military salute to Li Chongjiu.The vigorous voice echoed in the empty school grounds.

"Get up."

Many of the new students saw Li Chongjiu for the first time, and they were all very excited.It was the second time to come to Ji, but it was on the side of Pujiu Temple, but in a hurry, Li Chongjiu was just looking for Li Zhiwan.Lai Ji didn't think much about the Great Zhao Emperor, but when he saw him today, his majestic appearance really made him admire.

Li Chongjiu walked onto the stage, his movements were calm and unhurried, and with the simplicity unique to a soldier, he looked at the freshmen present with his eyes.

Finally, Li Chongjiu said loudly to the new students: "Everyone, please raise your heads and look at me."
The freshmen all raised their chests.

"Everyone, today is the opening day of the Youjing Lecture Hall, and it is also the day you become soldiers. Although I have entrusted my name as the head of the Lecture Hall, I will rarely have a place to meet with you in the future. Right now I’m here to tell you what’s on my mind.”

Li Chongjiu's voice echoed in the empty school grounds.The rhythm of his words made every freshman tense his muscles.

"Before I speak from the bottom of my heart, I would like to ask you a question. Why do you come to the martial arts hall? On the first day of your new life, you should think about this question carefully. If there are some people, it is for promotion, for To get rich is to think that if you can get a layer of gold here, and return to the ranks, it will be easier to get promoted and promoted, then I tell you that you are wrong."

Li Chongjiu's words were very harsh, and many scholars present actually had such thoughts, but after hearing Li Chongjiu's words, everyone showed a little unnatural expression.

"Zi said, it's not enough to discuss the aspirations and Taoism of those who are ashamed of poor clothes and bad food. I know that there are many of you here who have never read books. This sentence was said by Confucius, which means that if a man sets his ambition , but it’s a shame if you can’t dress well or taste good, then such a person is not worthy to talk to me!”
All the new students were lost in thought, and the wind was blowing slowly.

"The big man's ambition is to be able to live in poverty, not to care about others pointing fingers, and sometimes to be humiliated. Do you know which general of the Han Dynasty I admire most? The one I admire the most is Han Xin. The big man keeps his anger. , so Han Xin can bear the humiliation of his crotch, and he who draws his sword to fight with others for a moment of anger is a reckless man. A man can endure what the world cannot bear, so he can do what the world cannot do."

Having said this, Li Chongjiu paused, and then said: "I still admire one person. This person is not as famous as Han Xinduo, but he is also admirable. This person is named Tang Ju, and he was a strategist of the Wei State during the Warring States Period. He has no hands The strength of the chicken, but dared to go to the strong Qin Dynasty for the Wei State. At that time, the King of Qin wanted to take five hundred miles of Wei State, but the Wei State refused. The King of Qin threatened Tang Ju angrily, saying, have you heard of the wrath of the emperor? Tang Ju said calmly, "Has the king heard of the wrath of the commoner?" "The king of Qin sneered and said that the wrath of the commoner is nothing more than bare-headed and naked, with the head grabbing the ears. Tang Ju said no." , the wrath of the civilians, dedicated to the assassination of the king, Nie Zheng assassinated the Korean puppet, and wanted to leave the assassination to celebrate the taboo. These three people are all civilians. They have not yet expressed their anger. They fell to sleep and fell to the sky. Four."

"Speaking of this, after speaking, Tang Ju looked at King Qin, drew his sword and said, 'My lord, if a man is angry, he will lay down two corpses, blood will splatter five steps, and the world will be ashes.'"

All the freshmen were fascinated by Li Chongjiu's words, and they didn't even notice the heavy snow covering them.The courage of Tang Ju's cloth clothes is inspiring.

At this time Li Chongjiu straightened his body, and said solemnly: "Everyone, Han Xin can be angry but not angry, while Tang Ju is angry with commoners. Both of you are equally admirable. Among you are scholars who are studying, and there are half-life generals Today, I give the two of them as an example to tell everyone that it doesn’t matter if a scholar is well-educated. A man without blood is a coward. I set up the lecture hall to let the scholars cultivate their own blood, and let the generals know what restraint is."

"When a man has blood and restraint, he can truly be called a soldier. Once such a man has his own ambition, he will never turn back and go forward bravely."

All the scholars couldn't help but became short of breath when they heard it, Lai Jixin said, this is an article that I haven't heard in half my life, it is so loud, you can hear the echo of gold and stone.

Many scholars beside Laiji had tears welling up in their eyes at this moment, and the applause suddenly resounded in the school field, which lasted for a long time.

The wind and snow stopped suddenly.
