Chapter Thirteen: Self Cultivation

"The once prosperous capital city has finally become the ruins of the present, a pile of loess. In fact, these are nothing to me. Even my Great Qin will end up in the same fate if it encounters a foolish king like me before.

Just like the King of Zhou, his body died and his country was destroyed, and the country was burned to the ground. After all, we are all of the same clan, the Yanhuang clan whose blood is thicker than water. We also have black eyes and black hair, write the same words, and use the same

Chopsticks. When a country is destroyed, it is always the descendants of Yan and Huang with black hair and black eyes who are in charge.

However, will those alien races who want to invade our land, China, do what our own people do to our own people? They will not. They will only enslave your descendants, kill your descendants, seize the women of your descendants, and destroy the country and even exterminate the species.

If you use copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; if you use people as a mirror, you can know gains and losses; if you use history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs;

From now on, you must not only learn writing, arithmetic, geography, and astronomy, but each of you must also learn to be a human being, learn history, and learn to ride and shoot.

Xiwen will do the math, it just lets you know more. Only by keeping in mind the history of our Great Qin and our Yanhuang people, you will never forget your ancestors. A nation without history and who dare not face up to its history will never be truly strong. A nation that forgets

Historical nations are also pathetic.

From the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, to the struggle for hegemony among the seven kingdoms, to the unification of the world by the Qin Dynasty, to the First Emperor conscripting laborers to build mausoleums and palaces in order to seek immortality, to the time when I was ignorant and incompetent and appointed traitors to imprison loyal people, to the southern expedition to quell the rebellion, and now I am here today

Every word spoken to you in this Royal Academy will be truthfully recorded in the historical data.

I hope that my descendants can learn from history, I hope that the people of Great Qin can learn from history, and I hope that our Yanhuang clan can learn from history. And you are just the beginning.

Riding and shooting, we, the Qin Dynasty, advocate martial arts and use force to build our country. Since it became a vassal state, several monarchs have died on the battlefield, and countless men of the Qin Dynasty have been wrapped in horse leather. How can you, the proud men of the Qin Dynasty, just be weak scholars without the power to tie a chicken?

?

Being capable not only means getting more, but being capable also means working harder.

Naturally, all people in the world are born differently. Some are born into wealthy families, while others are born into shabby houses in Guizhou. I cannot control your birth, but I can give you a future. I will not give you great wealth, but I can

I will give each of you the fairest opportunity, the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, become a marquis, and become a prime minister. This opportunity does not matter whether you are born high or low. As long as you are willing, I can give each of you such an opportunity."

Hu Hai's eloquent words made all the Royal Academy students, who were already excited because they heard about this vast world, feel so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

What is the purpose of entering hundreds of schools of thought and debating every day about the most trivial matters? What is the purpose of entering the Royal Academy?

He cultivated literary and martial arts and sold them to the emperor's family.

How many talented people ended up being frustrated and lost among the vast number of sentient beings just because they lacked an opportunity mentioned by Hu Hai? Now, the emperor has promised to give everyone a fair chance to be crowned a marquis and prime minister, so what else do you want?

"Long live your majesty!"

"Long live your majesty!"

I don’t know who started it first, but the shouts of long live echoed throughout the entire Daqin Royal Academy.

The reaction of the students was as expected by Hu Hai. Hu Hai raised his hands in vain, and the shouts of long live around him gradually fell silent. Countless pairs of eyes with various emotions stared closely at the upright Emperor of Qin II in front of the map in the center of the lawn.

"If anyone wants to be promoted and make a fortune, then I advise you not to come. Because you may lose your head. You are also half of my disciples. I don't want to personally issue an edict to kill you and others one day.

However, if someone is really sorry for my trust, the trust of Great Qin, and the trust of the people of this world, then I will let him die in an ugly way even if I don’t want to. What I want is to be loyal to me, loyal to Great Qin, and for this

People who work for the welfare of the people of the world. You, are you!?"

Seeing the students around him opening their mouths, Hu Hai raised his hand to stop him, "Don't rush to answer me. Do you mean it? It's not just your words that tell me, but your actions. I will see.

arrive."

Having said this, Hu Hai turned around and picked up the huge writing brush placed on the side of the copper case. Four dead men of Longwei Mansion quickly laid a roll of white brocade ten feet long on the huge copper case.

Hu Hai picked up his pen and wrote quickly, writing in one go. Then he threw down his pen and turned around.

As Hu Hai turned around, four dead soldiers from Longwei Mansion stood behind Hu Hai and lifted up the white brocade that Hu Hai had written.

"Cultivation of one's character with a correct heart, harmonizing one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world!"

White brocade and black ink, eleven large splash-ink characters that could not be said to be dragons and phoenixes, but at least full of momentum, appeared in front of a group of students. They were not Qin characters and Xiaozhuan characters, but simplified Chinese characters of later generations. Not everyone recognized them.

“In ancient times, if you want to bring enlightened virtue to the world, you must first govern your country; if you want to govern your country, you must first regulate your family; if you want to regulate your family, you must first cultivate your body; if you want to cultivate your body, you must first rectify your mind; if you want to rectify your family, you must first rectify your mind.

To be sincere in one's heart, one must first be sincere in one's intention. If one wants to be sincere in one's intention, one must first know what he knows, and to know what he knows, he must study things. After studying things, he will know them. After knowing them, his thoughts will be sincere. If his thoughts are sincere, then his mind will be upright. If his mind is right, then he will cultivate his body. He will cultivate his body.

Then the family is in order, the family is in order and then the country is governed, and the country is governed and then the world is peaceful.

This is what it means to cultivate one’s moral integrity, manage one’s family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. These words, I encourage you all to share. These words, I encourage all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to share. These words, I want to encourage all the people of our great Qin Dynasty to share.”

Hu Hai's ups and downs voice floated over the Royal Academy.

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"



There is no doubt that Hu Hai's first lecture at the Royal Academy today was very successful. A seed has been quietly planted in the hearts of these students who will inevitably go to all walks of life in Daqin in the future.

When the black Qin wind sweeps across the grasslands, the countries in the Western Regions, the Indochina Peninsula, the Indian Peninsula, and the Japanese Island, at that time, everyone will know how correct what Hu Hai said today is.

By then, the people of Daqin, who were the first to open their eyes to explore and understand the world, will truly stand on top of the world, overlooking the five continents and the four seas.

Of course, Hu Hai was not so arrogant that he could complete the long development process of thousands of years in later generations in just one or two generations. This would require the efforts of several or even dozens of generations.

But a good start already represents half the success, right?

Amid the respectful greetings from teachers and students of the Royal Academy, Hu Hai left Da Qin Royal Academy and went directly to Afang Palace.

When Hu Hai left, two huge stone tablets were already standing on the left and right sides of the stone tablet with the name "Da Qin Royal Academy" written on it. On the two newly erected huge stones, it was written "In ancient times, those who wish to bring enlightenment to the world...

, the country will be governed, and then the world will be peaceful." The other piece is a rubbing of the eleven characters written by Hu Hai, "cultivate the mind, cultivate the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world."

These two stone tablets will serve as the motto of Daqin Royal Academy and will be permanently erected at the entrance of the Royal Academy.

In the distance, the dark magnet door of Afang Palace appeared in sight. But at this moment, in front of the magnet door of Afang Palace, there were silhouettes of people. People have been waiting in front of the door of Afang Palace for a long time. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, The novel is better and updated faster!)
