During the Ming Dynasty, the four sentences of Hengqu had already been published. However, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty ranged from Wang Yangming, Yu Qian and others at the upper limit to Yan Song and others at the lower limit. In fact, everyone had a balance in their hearts, and they would not completely change their behavior because of a few words. However, these four sentences can also make those who care about the world to walk on their own path more firmly. For Chu Fan, this is enough.

As for why Chu Fan did not write about the concepts of fairness, justice and openness, it was because he knew very well that such concepts were too advanced and too idealistic in this world. It would be very difficult to achieve this at that time. Moreover, these six words were more targeted at officials and did not quite fit the positioning of Shengwu University.

Chu Fan also had a school motto in mind: "Understand the law in heart, act righteously in virtue, uphold justice, and benefit the world and bring peace to the people." These sixteen words were too restrictive for students. They were more suitable for students to gradually understand and practice after entering the academy, rather than being forced upon them from the outset.

When the ministers' sobbing gradually subsided, Chu Fan said, "Everyone, please stand up. Today we are here to name the academy in Yaocheng and write its motto, so let's focus on business."

All the ministers stopped crying and stood respectfully aside, awaiting His Majesty's next order. City guards began to maintain order among the civilians and students outside, freeing them from kneeling and forcing them to stand.

For these court officials, even if they were moved, it was only for the first moment. It was obviously impossible for them to be moved to tears for such a long time. They knelt on the ground more to show His Majesty their loyalty and respect.

If you are a court minister and everyone else is kneeling on the ground crying, but you are the only one standing there as if nothing happened, then you will definitely become the target of public criticism, and you may even be impeached by other court ministers for being disrespectful to the emperor.

Which of the court officials who have reached their current positions is not a shrewd person? How could they not know such truth? Therefore, even if some of the officials were deeply moved by Hengqu's four sentences, they still pretended to be moved.

Chu Fan said to Chu Xiujie, "Prince Zhong, I hope you can maintain your original intention and truly do everything you say. Truly make Shengwu Academy a cradle for cultivating people with a sense of justice and aspirations, rather than giving up easily when encountering obstacles in the future."

Chu Xiujie replied with a firm gaze, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my utmost to live up to your trust. Shengwu Academy will surely become a place of refuge for the people of Wei. In all cases of injustice, Shengwu Academy will stand up and uphold justice."

Chu Fan knew that it was not so easy to complete such a task. You have to know that the territory of Wei State is very large. It is impossible for Shengwu Academy alone to uphold justice for all the injustices in Wei State. However, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as such a seed is planted, it will take root in the soil of Wei State and gradually affect more people.

Moreover, many students from Shengwu University will graduate every year and when they go to various places in Wei State, they will speak out for the injustices encountered by the local people. After many years, as more and more students graduate from Shengwu University, there will be more people who can uphold justice for ordinary people. By then, the atmosphere of the entire Wei State will change, and the flowers of justice will bloom everywhere.

Each generation of students will become a messenger to protect fairness, sow the seeds of justice in every corner of Wei State, and gradually gather into a powerful force to promote the progress and harmony of the entire country.

Chu Fan said, "As for other matters, I will tell you in detail later in the carriage. I also have to go to Zhonghua City to name the academy and write the school motto, so I won't stay in Yaocheng for long."

Chu Xiujie took the order and immediately asked the guards to collect the Shengwu Academy and the four sacred mottos written by Chu Fan and take them to the City Lord's Mansion for safekeeping, and then got into Chu Fan's carriage.

When Chu Xiujie boarded the carriage, Chu Fan was also present, along with Chu Anping from the Royal Government Affairs Office and Prime Minister Cao Mengde. Chu Xiujie bowed to each of them and then sat down.

Chu Fan spoke first, "The establishment of the Shengwu Academy will certainly affect the interests of many aristocratic families, and there is one more important point. Currently, there are many sects in the Wei Kingdom that do not accept the rule of the Wei court. Because warriors are much more powerful than ordinary people, many warriors act recklessly and do not take the court's laws seriously.

Therefore, I believe that Shengwu Academy should not only cultivate scholars with a strong sense of justice, but also cultivate warriors with a strong sense of justice. This way, when dealing with injustices for the people, they will not be suppressed by others with force and be helpless. "

Only then did Chu Xiujie realize how naive his thoughts were. It was so difficult to uphold justice and fairness for the people of Wei. If it were just a few aristocratic families, they wouldn't have much power to resist under the suppression of the imperial army.

However, the warriors in the sects are all very powerful. When these warriors break the law, it is not easy to catch them. Moreover, they have their own sects to protect them, which makes it even more difficult to catch them.

Chu Xiujie began to feel a little disappointed at this time. After all, he had imagined everything too beautifully and had actually given His Majesty such a difficult problem. However, what Chu Xiujie didn't expect was that Chu Fan continued to speak at this time.

Chu Fan said, "Sixth Master, when you return to the Royal Government Affairs Office, you must not only arrange some Confucianism teachers for Chu Xiujie, but also go back to the royal family to select some warriors to teach at the Shengwu Academy. You must also select some suitable techniques and secret manuals from the royal family and give them to Chu Xiujie as teaching materials for the Shengwu Academy.

Preparations for the No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament in the World must be expedited. If these issues are not completely resolved by the time the imperial family and the Wei army set out on their campaigns, then while the imperial family's warriors and the army are engaged in external battles, domestic stability will be seriously threatened."

Chu Anping replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will start arranging these matters after I return to ensure that the students of Shengwu Academy can master practical combat skills in the shortest possible time, so that they will be able to fight against warriors after graduation."

Chu Xiujie looked at Chu Anping and Chu Fan with emotion, and said with emotion: "Thank you, Your Majesty and Sixth Master, for your kindness. I will live up to your trust and do my best to build Shengwu University perfectly."
