On that day, Chu Junyuan also began to explain the new policy issued by His Majesty to the martyrs' families and onlookers at the Martyrs' Cemetery who wanted their children to be admitted to the National Defense University of Wei.

However, even though Chu Junyuan had explained it in detail, there were still some elderly people who could not understand His Majesty's good intentions in establishing this policy. They knew that their children could go to university and have a good future.

A white-haired widow of a martyr couldn't help but stand up and asked in a trembling voice, "Sir, my young and strong men have lost their lives for the State of Wei, and my grandson also wants to contribute to the State of Wei like his father and grandfather. Please be flexible."

After hearing what the old man said, Chu Junyuan wanted to do something for this family that had made great sacrifices for the State of Wei, but he definitely would not make an exception and admit the child into the Royal Academy of Wei.

Because His Majesty said something very well. If a student who cannot even pass the examination is admitted to the academy as an exception, then the probability of this child surviving on the battlefield will be very small. And when the child of the aunt's family dies on the battlefield, then will this family be extinct?

At this time, Chu Junyuan fully understood the difficulties of His Majesty in establishing this policy. The State of Wei had not yet reached the point where a family needed to be exterminated to show loyalty to the country. The best way for the families of these heroes was to let their descendants live well, rather than surviving in the mouths of officials who only stayed in the court after all the men had sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.

By then, even if this family receives more praise and honor, there will be no descendants to enjoy it. Even if they are praised to the sky, they will not be able to be resurrected to enjoy this honor.

What Your Majesty is doing is to allow such a family with good qualities to continue and not let it be cut off.

Of course, out of respect for these family members, if they can pass the entrance examination, the university doors will still be open to them.

Chu Junyuan patiently explained to the old woman, "Don't get excited, old lady. Sit down and listen to me slowly."

After helping the old woman sit down, Chu Junyuan continued to speak to the crowd, "I believe many of you are in the same situation as this old man. Your loyalty and bravery are witnessed by heaven and earth, and His Majesty and the court will remember it."

After hearing Chu Junyuan's words, the people who were originally noisy quieted down. They were ready to listen to what Chu Junyuan would say.

At this time, only Chu Junyuan's voice echoed in the quiet square of the Martyrs' Cemetery: "Your Majesty's establishment of this Martyrs' Cemetery proves that Your Majesty has never forgotten the sacrifices you made for the State of Wei. However, Your Majesty does not allow your descendants to enter school as an exception, which is also to protect the bloodline of your family, so that more descendants can grow up safely and continue the family's glory and tradition.

You must know that the battlefield is cruel. If all your best men died on the battlefield, then there would be no one to burn incense in your family ancestral hall. Wouldn't those heroes' sacrifices have been in vain? We must not allow such a tragedy to happen and cut off the bloodline of heroes. Therefore, the court will not allow students who fail the exam to enter the National Defense University of Wei. This is also a form of protection for everyone.

Chu Junyuan's words made some people give up the idea of ​​letting their children enter the Wei Royal Academy. If their children cannot even pass the basic entrance examination, how can they guarantee that they can survive on the battlefield? How can they shoulder the expectations of the family and inherit the will of their ancestors?

Chu Junyuan saw that the expressions of these elders had softened somewhat and continued, "My fellow countrymen, His Majesty knows that you want your descendants to have a good future, but too many of your family members have already sacrificed their lives for the country. Their sacrifices have brought peace to the State of Wei. How can the court bear to let their bloodline suffer another misfortune?

Of course, Your Majesty is not denying your descendants the right to study at the National Defense University of Wei, but they must pass the examination to prove their talent and qualities. Only then can Your Majesty safely allow them to serve the country after they have the basic ability to protect themselves on the battlefield."

Most people were convinced by Chu Junyuan, but at this moment, a young man stood up and said excitedly, "I understand what you are saying, City Lord, but have you ever considered that we are not afraid of sacrifice at all? We are grateful for the care of His Majesty and the court, but what we hope most is to be loyal to our country, even at the cost of our lives."

The young man clenched his fists tightly, his voice trembling, but there was a determined light in his eyes. He said in a low voice: "My parents and family members gave their lives to resist the Xiongnu invasion last year. As their descendant, I must do something for them, otherwise I will feel very uneasy.

So even if I can't get into the National Defense University, I'm willing to serve my country on the battlefield, avenge my parents and family, and protect this land with my life."

The young man's words shook everyone present. Chu Junyuan also felt deeply saddened by the child's situation, but he had thought of this possibility, so he had already thought of a corresponding countermeasure last night.

Chu Junyuan walked up to the young man, put his hand gently on his shoulder, looked deeply into his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "You are a good child. Your courage and determination are admirable. Your parents and family are also the pride of Wei State. So you should live well and see a more prosperous future for your parents and family.

Don't let hatred cloud your mind and make a senseless sacrifice, rendering your death meaningless. Your parents and family will not only be restless in the grave, but will also feel their sacrifice was unrespected. Your life shouldn't be merely a tool for revenge, but a hope for the future of the State of Wei.

Your Majesty, we originally relocated your families, who have made outstanding contributions to the country, from the border to Kaifeng City so that you could live a stable life away from the flames of war. Your Majesty and the court ministers clearly remember your hatred. Your Majesty and the court will avenge you and make the Xiongnu pay the price.

So you just need to live your life well, the court will not forget your contributions to the country."

Chu Junyuan's words made the young man silent for a moment, and the flames of hatred in his eyes subsided a lot. It was impossible to say that he was not afraid of death, but the hatred of his parents and family weighed on him, so he had to make such a choice.
