Ignoring the countless voices of objection from the audience below the throne, Xiao Chen glanced at everyone with a cold eye, and then said something that shocked hundreds of thousands of people.

He said calmly: "In the future, the Great Zhou Empire will establish two major colleges, one is the Azure Dragon College, and the other is the White Tiger College."

"Qinglong Academy is open to all civilians. All citizens of the empire who pass the qualification assessment can enter Qinglong Academy to study. All the skills and martial arts in the academy are fully open to all."

"White Tiger Academy is open to all soldiers. Any soldier who has won military merit can enter the White Tiger Academy to study, and all martial arts techniques are also open to them."

"In addition to the two major academies, the empire will also establish the Little Sage Manor. Those who have no talent in martial arts can enter the Little Sage Manor to study."

After Xiao Chen announced the news, he stopped talking and looked down at the nearly 200,000 people below with a calm gaze.

He knew that the news was too shocking and the people needed to digest it slowly.

Sure enough, after hearing Xiao Chen's words, the 200,000 people at the ceremony fell into silence.

No matter they were nobles or common people, they all stared at the seemingly short figure on the throne with their mouths wide open in disbelief.

"How dare he..."

Guo Fenghua, who was leisurely drinking and watching a show in the restaurant, suddenly stood up from his chair.

The wine glass in his hand had been crushed, his face was full of rage, and he wished he could kill Xiao Chen.

Shen Guzhi's breathing became rapid and his heart was extremely uneasy.

"Does Xiao Chen want to fight to the death? Once such an academy is established, how can the noble families control the warriors? Doesn't he know the consequences of doing this?"

Xiao Chen's actions were shaking the foundation of the family, how could he not be angry.

Feng Buping had not expected that Xiao Chen would do this, but being an experienced man, he was much calmer than Guo and Shen.

He said in a deep voice: "Two Patriarchs, please be patient. Do you think Xiao Chen's ridiculous plan can really be realized?"

"Let's not talk about whether these two colleges can be established. Even if they are established, what will happen?"

"Do you think that he can break the aristocratic family's monopoly on martial arts with just the skills treasured by the Xiao royal family?"

What Feng Buping said was true, he knew very well the number of martial arts skills hidden by the four great families.

Although the Xiao family is the head of the four great families and the royal family of the kingdom, the skills and martial arts collected by the Xiao family definitely do not exceed one hundred volumes.

How many warriors are there in the Great Zhou? Even a rough estimate would put the number at tens of millions.

One hundred volumes of martial arts skills are not enough to satisfy the needs of tens of millions of warriors, let alone hundreds of millions of civilians.

Not everyone can practice a martial art. It also depends on whether the attributes of the martial art are suitable for the martial artist's physique.

To popularize martial arts with the Xiao family's limited background is simply a fantasy.

After hearing Feng Buping's words, Guo Fenghua and Shen Guzhi calmed down a little.

What Feng Buping said made sense. Just now, they were so angry about Xiao Chen’s bold move that they even forgot to think about the feasibility of this move.

After calming down his anger, Shen Guzhi sat back in his seat and snorted coldly, "This kid came up with such a stupid idea to win the hearts of the people. If he can't fulfill his promise today, I'll see what he will do."

They didn't know that Xiao Chen's real trump card was not the royal background, but the Sutra Library that was now standing on Yaoguang Peak.

…

"Your Majesty...are you really going to establish an academy?"

"How is this possible? Which aristocratic family on the continent can open up their own martial arts techniques?"

"Your Majesty just said it himself, how could this be false?"

"That's great, my son will be able to learn martial arts in the future!"

"Your Majesty is truly a wise ruler!"

The common people did not think as much as the three great families. They only knew that Xiao Chen said he wanted to establish a martial arts academy, and their descendants would have the opportunity to change their destiny.

The major aristocratic sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty had a strict monopoly on martial arts techniques. Many young talents who obviously had a high talent for martial arts were often unwilling to be loyal to the aristocratic families, or they offended the young masters of the aristocratic families, and thus they could not obtain the martial arts that suited them, and thus wasted their entire lives.

But today, Xiao Chen's actions broke this situation, allowing common people to have the same opportunities to practice martial arts as the nobles. How could these people not be grateful to Xiao Chen?

For a moment, all the civilians who had been resentful of Xiao Chen because he had revealed his intention to wage foreign wars, knelt on the ground again.

At this moment, let alone just letting them fight for the empire and expand the empire's territory.

If they were asked to sacrifice their lives immediately, many of them would probably commit suicide on the spot in order to obtain a suitable martial arts technique for their descendants.

In this world, martial arts skills are valued far more than life.

Listening to the praise from the people below, Xiao Chen remained calm and did not become proud of it.

He didn't think this was a great achievement. In his opinion, he was just doing something within his ability.

Besides, this matter is in his favor.

The future Great Zhou Empire is destined to conquer the world. Xiao Chen wants every citizen of his country to be able to practice martial arts. Only such an empire with flourishing martial arts can help him achieve hegemony.

Looking at his excited subjects, Xiao Chen continued, "From today on, the division of the Great Zhou Dynasty into one city and thirteen counties will be abolished, and five states will be established: East, West, South, North, and Central. A number of cities will be built in each state, and a branch of Qinglong Academy will be established in each city."

"Those who excel in the branch schools in each city can enter the Azure Dragon College in each state, and the outstanding geniuses in each state can enter the Imperial City Headquarters to study."

With so many civilians in the Great Zhou, it is of course impossible to admit all of them into Qinglong Academy. Setting up branches would truly make martial arts popular.

When the people heard Xiao Chen's idea of a branch, they became even more excited.

Such a complete plan proves that their Emperor did not come up with it on impulse, but had thought it over very seriously.

"Long live the Emperor!"

"Woo woo, my son finally has the opportunity to learn martial arts. Our Li family is going to make a comeback."

"I have been cheated by the aristocratic family for half my life. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to practice martial arts when I am thirty years old."

"If anyone speaks ill of His Majesty in front of me in the future, I will fight him to the death."

"Long live the emperor!"

"May the Emperor rule the continent for thousands of years!"

"Your Majesty will live forever!"

The voices praising Xiao Chen resounded throughout the imperial city. Countless people raised their hands high and roared hoarsely.

Some elderly people couldn't hold back their tears, and the scene became somewhat chaotic.

"Our Emperor is so unpredictable!"

Shen Tianyou looked at Xiao Chen, who had his hands behind his back and a calm expression, and said bitterly.

Xiao Chen's idea of an academy was also a huge shock to the Lingjian Sect, but he was powerless to do anything.

Just when the atmosphere of the entire ceremony reached its climax, the disciples of the Nine Dragon Temple hidden in the crowd finally felt that their chance had come.

Seeing such a chaotic scene, Long Aotian, Long Xiaotian and other hall masters looked at each other, and then eight figures shot out from the noisy crowd at the same time and rushed straight towards Xiao Chen on the throne.

At the same time, other disciples of the Nine Dragon Hall also flew into the air and followed the eight hall masters to kill Xiao Chen.

"There's an assassin! Protect His Majesty!"
