After an autumn rain, the sky is clear and blue, and the cool autumn breeze blows away the summer heat.
The fifth day of April is destined to be the most meaningful day in the history of Mingyue Primary School.
Thousands of children sit in the classroom. They are innocent and ignorant, yet full of vitality, like the rising sun, symbolizing the future and hope of a country.
At this moment, every pair of bright big eyes was sparkling with excitement.
In a first-grade classroom.
The teacher stood in front of the podium, neatly dressed, with an upright posture, a serious and solemn expression, and his voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, guiding and instructing.
"Classmates, turn to page three. The first lesson we will learn today is - Loyalty to the Emperor and Patriotism."
“Clatter, clatter…”
The sound of flipping pages echoed in the classroom. Students sat upright in their seats, curiously looking at the unfamiliar black words.
Seeing that the students did as they were told, the teacher nodded with satisfaction.
He picked up the book, scanned every young face, and asked a question first.
"What is loyalty to the emperor and patriotism?"
"Can anyone tell me about it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion from below, and the children looked at each other in confusion.
However, like a newborn calf, there is no fear of a tiger, and several lively children rushed to answer.
"Teacher, my mother told me to study hard. Is this loyalty to the emperor and patriotism?"
"Teacher, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism means being loyal to His Majesty and being a good citizen."
"teacher......"
The chattering was a bit noisy, but the teacher was not impatient and kept listening attentively.
After all the students had spoken freely, he smiled and clapped his hands in praise, then asked another question.
"Then why should we be loyal to the emperor and love our country?"
"Why......"
Everyone stopped their excitement, frowned, and thought about this question they had never thought about before.
Wang Daya's eyes lit up in the crowd, but long-term suppression made her inevitably timid, and she stammered and dared not speak.
The teacher keenly noticed that the girl was hesitant to speak and gave her an encouraging look.
The gentle gaze was like warm sunshine, which gave Wang Daya courage in her heart. She took a deep breath, stood up and answered loudly.
"Because the country provides us with food, clothing, and books to read, we must be loyal to the emperor and love our country."
"Well, very well said!"
The teacher praised me generously, saying that I had a gentle smile and an elegant temperament, and was a true mentor and friend.
Wang Daya felt the envy of her classmates and the praise of her teacher. Her little face turned red and her inferiority complex dissipated a little unconsciously.
For the first time, she deeply realized the benefits of reading.
What she will face in the future will no longer be humiliation, insults, and suppression, but kindness that encourages her to move forward.
The teacher asked the girl to sit down, then his expression became serious and his tone became extremely heavy.
"You are still young, and you may not remember what our lives were like."
"There are wars everywhere, and bodies are everywhere. People are starving, naked, and living in constant fear, not knowing if they will see the sunrise tomorrow..."
The tragic and sad atmosphere gradually infected the children. Their eyes became red and the vague memories in their minds were suddenly triggered.
The hunger, cold and pain that I experienced in my childhood all came to my mind.
The teacher's voice was rhythmic and loud like a bell, which was deafening.
"It is your Majesty, with his great talent and wisdom, who has swept across the world and pacified the country, ending centuries of war and chaos. The four seas have been united, and the world is stable. We now have food to eat and food to eat, and no longer have to worry all day long."
"It was the compassionate queen who brought us sweet potatoes that yielded 10,000 kilograms per mu and cotton that kept us warm in the cold. She also reduced taxes and established factories, ensuring that we had enough food, clothing, and a stable home."
"Now, we sit in spacious and bright classrooms and study. We may even pass the imperial examinations and change our social status in the future."
"All this is due to the blessing of the country and the kindness of the emperor and empress."
Having said this, the teacher suddenly stopped talking.
He looked around at every student who was deeply touched and asked in a deep voice.
"What do you think? Should we be loyal to the emperor and patriotic?"
"should!"
"should!"
“…”
The students answered in unison, their voices young but powerful.
The teacher smiled with satisfaction, and there was unspeakable expectation in his eyes as he looked at them.
"Then, let me tell you what loyalty to the emperor and patriotism mean..."
“If the country is compared to a house, then every person can be a brick, a beam, or even an insignificant nail.”
"But no matter what it is, everyone is important and has their own role."
"For example, as students, our most important task is to study hard. Only when we have achieved academic success in the future can we contribute to our country..."
Time passed by little by little, and the students were fascinated by the teacher's teachings, and their inner admiration was endless.
With the sound of a clear and loud gong, the first class of Mingyue Primary School officially ended.
From that day on, a seed of hope was quietly planted in the students' young hearts.
One day, it will break through the ground, grow vigorously, and become a towering tree, inspiring them to serve the country and the people and realize their own life value.
The autumn wind blows gently, dyeing the green leaves golden and the fields the color of harvest.
In the blink of an eye, it was already late April.
Thanks to Fu Sheng's hard work, Mingyue Primary School's development, despite some setbacks, was finally on the right track.
In Zhangtai Palace.
Based on Fu Sheng's experience summary and combined with some modern teaching concepts, Chu Yuening carefully organized the primary school operation plan.
Like the county-run academy, after the pilot program of Mingyue Primary School is completed, primary education will be promoted nationwide.
After reviewing a memorial, Ying Zheng looked up at the woman writing at the desk opposite him. His face was stern, but his phoenix eyes hid an unconscious tenderness.
With my wife by my side, the days pass by less boringly.
The solemn and magnificent hall was silent except for the rustling sounds of pages turning and pencils writing.
The emperor and empress sat opposite each other, each handling government affairs without disturbing each other, with an unspoken tender affection flowing between them.
At noon in early autumn, there is neither the heat of midsummer nor the bitter cold of winter, and the warm sunshine is just right.
"Time flies so fast, it's already noon."
Chu Yuening put down the paper and pen, stood up, stretched herself, and sighed leisurely.
Ying Zheng paused, looked up at her, and his low voice was full of concern.
"Is Yue Ning hungry?"
"It's okay, no rush, A Zheng, just finish your work first."
Chu Yuening curved her eyebrows, looking very understanding.
Immediately, she remembered something important and spoke softly.
"By the way, how is the establishment of the Ministry of Education going?"
"It will be soon. I am discussing the details with the ministers."
Ying Zheng wrote in vigorous and powerful handwriting on the memorial and replied slowly.
