Liu Hong strongly agrees with what Mao Jie said: people need to worship idols, but they must know who these idols are and not worship blindly.

Soldiers admire military generals like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, while scholars admire ministers like Chen Tang and Ban Chao—this is the correct set of values.

Men should be more passionate, and their idols should be upright and tough, not those effeminate sissies.

Liu Hong and his group then arrived at the Martyrs' Shrine, where they respectfully paid their respects to the sages. Like the students, they then lingered in front of the various stone tablets in the square.

When Mao Jie noticed that Liu Hong only stopped in front of the stone tablets of Xunzi, Shang Yang, Han Fei, and Guan Zhong, he couldn't help but change his expression and think about how the future emperor would govern.

Before long, the group walked out of the Martyrs' Shrine, and Mao Jie bowed to Liu Hong.

"Young Master Wang, now that this matter is settled, I must return to my studies. I shall take my leave now!"

Liu Hong smiled and nodded, "Alright! Xiaoxian, you must work hard when you get back. I'll be waiting to see you again!"

"Please rest assured, Young Master Wang!"

After saying this, Mao Jie bowed to Liu Hong again, then turned and left.

After Mao Jie had walked away, Liu Hong turned to look at Xi Zhicai beside him and said in a deep voice:

"Zhicai, after you go back, organize the instructors in the Military and Political Department to compile stories about the deeds of Huo Qubing, Wei Qing, Geng Gong, Ban Chao, and others, and spread them to the soldiers!"

Xi Zhicai nodded heavily, "Please rest assured, young master, I will immediately take charge of this matter upon my return!"

Then Xi Zhicai asked:

"Young master, where shall we go next?"

Upon hearing Xi Zhicai's question and looking at him, Liu Hong revealed a strange smile.

"Come on, let's go get a free meal together!"
