Yi Chengxuan was originally reading his own book. When he heard Yue Xin's words, he put down the book in his hand and replied, "This is Lianpo's love for the Zhao Country and the people. It is his idealistic pursuit for the prosperity of his country and the lives of the people. This is about his feelings for his country. It is his recognition of his country, his sense of belonging, his mission, and his sense of responsibility. This kind of feeling is not mixed with any benefits. It is a person's own belief. For this, he is even willing to give everything."
Yue Xin didn't seem to agree. Her finger landed on the words "Historical Record" and she said, "But I think that the feelings of the country are just tools used by rulers to rule the people. To rulers, patriotism is just love for their own status and interests, and to the ruled people, patriotism is love for the benefits that they have already realized and are developing. This is the essence of patriotism, isn't it?"
