Chapter 1086

This astronomical figure, they almost didn't dare to think about it!

"Is this true or false?"

"It must be true, didn't everyone see the silver escorted by Lord Shangguan?"

"Hiss!"

"That was actually the silver for the 'Living Yama' to set up schools widely! One million taels!"

"I was wondering why Lord Shangguan was escorting so much silver for no reason; so that's why. We misunderstood the 'Living Yama'!"

For a time, a huge noise swept through, and countless people were moved.

Their hearts were shaken.

Chi Potian was also dumbfounded.

He staggered back a few steps, his face extremely pale.

The 'Living Yama' is so cruel, why would he take out one million taels to set up schools?

This is impossible!

Could it be...

Thinking of his oath, Chi Potian trembled wildly in his heart.

Don't...

"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Chi Potian's lips trembled, giving himself confidence.

He, Chi Potian, has always kept his word. If the 'Living Yama' is truly a good person, how could he go back on his word?

He must eat it!

Huang Zhizhan, Lin Shuhan, and Chen Wanjuan were also stunned.

Even though their backgrounds were also quite extraordinary, one million taels was absolutely an astronomical figure!

In the crowd.

There were a few people with shifty eyes. Seeing that the situation was not good, they hurriedly raised their right fists toward the sky, "Don't be fooled, everyone!"

"This is an illusion, an excuse for the 'Living Yama' to fob us off!"

"Everyone, shout with me!"

"Severely punish the 'Living Yama'!"

But the next second.

A fist the size of a sandbag, like a hurricane, magnified in his eyes, and then, with lightning speed, slammed into his face.

Bang!

He was knocked to the ground with one punch.

"Lord Gao would rather take out one million taels to shelter the impoverished scholars of the world. How can such a person be slandered by you? You thieves, take my punch!"

A scholar full of anger said this.

The originally unified formation, accompanied by the impact of one million taels of silver, was instantly in chaos.

Chi Potian was anxious, and he hurriedly said: "Whether this one million taels is true or false is not yet known, everyone must not lose their footing!"

"Brother Chi is right, everyone don't hit people!"

At the same time.

More and more students brought news, and everything about the Infant Care Hall and the morning court session, under the spread of those with ulterior motives, was all exposed.

"The 'Living Yama'... no, Lord Gao said that the path of learning for impoverished scholars is too difficult, so he wants to donate one million taels of silver to widely accept the impoverished scholars of the world!"

"Correct, the 'Living Yama' said he has a wish: may this academy be a spark to burn out the cold night, may the students of our Great Qian all obtain the light of knowledge and pursue the ambition of the blue clouds together, may the impoverished scholars of the world all have books to read and all have happy faces, and may the door of the academy never cut off the path of the impoverished!"

Boom!

Once these words were out.

Led by the scholars of the Han Lin Academy, all the scholars of Changancheng felt as if their brains had exploded.

They were in endless shock.

Chi Potian was dumbfounded!

Huang Zhizhan was dumbfounded!

Lin Shuhan and Chen Wanjuan were also dumbfounded.

In their minds, there was only that sentence, like thunder from the nine heavens, and like a great bell, deafening!

"May this academy be a spark to burn out the cold night!"

"May the students of our Great Qian all obtain the light of knowledge and pursue the ambition of the blue clouds together!"

"May the impoverished scholars of the world all have books to read and all have happy faces!"

"May the door of the academy never cut off the path of the impoverished!"

A group of scholars was full of disbelief.

Were these words said by the 'Living Yama'?

The next second.

A sky-high noise erupted, which could no longer be contained, as if it were going to overturn the entire Changancheng.

An impoverished scholar in plain clothes had red eyes.

He thought of his path of learning.

Without guidance from great Confucian scholars, to seek learning, he had to trek dozens of miles, kneel outside the door for days, and rely on reading for books.

In the great cold, the inkstone was frozen and hard, and his fingers could not bend or stretch, but as long as he held the book, he didn't feel tired.

But those days were too bitter.

"Brother Qi..."

He said solemnly to the scholar beside him, "I think Lord Gao is a good person, Master Zhou must have a side that is unknown!"

"What do you think?"

The impoverished scholar named Brother Qi immediately nodded, "This is inevitable!"

"Someone who can take out one million taels to widely accept the impoverished scholars of the world, how can he be a bad person?"

Beside him, another scholar said, "Correct, this is the act of a saint. Since he is a saint, can a saint frame people?"

"Correct!"

"Lord Gao has a noble status and immense power. Does he have any need to frame people?"

"That's right! Lord Gao doesn't even hide his 'incapability,' he is so open, would he frame people when killing?"

"Makes sense!"

"Corrupt officials serve as officials for nothing but gold, silver, and beauty. Lord Gao is willing to donate one million taels for our impoverished scholars. If you reverse this, he must be a good official. Would a good official frame people?"

"It's terrifying to think about. Lord Gao hasn't returned yet, and someone is spreading rumors to incite us. Have we been used as knives by others?"

For a time, the scholars of Changancheng, who had originally shouted in unison to severely punish the 'Living Yama,' gave birth to many great Confucian scholars, and they spoke for Gao Yang one after another.

And after careful thought.

The unreasonable aspects of this matter all surfaced.

Gao Yang has a noble status, who dares to provoke him easily? Why would he look for trouble, killing the Commandery Governor, the Supervisor, and so many powerful people?

But there were also many students who remained skeptical and had fierce debates.

"Don't believe it, everyone. That is one million taels of silver, how could the 'Living Yama' take out one million taels?"

"Correct, if it were ten thousand taels, it might be possible, but this one million taels is too much, the truth of the matter is not yet known."

Some impoverished scholars said.

They looked firm, biting on this point.

It was also at this time.

Da!

Da da!!

Da da da!!!

Li Long led a group of guards and rode out of the palace gate on tall horses.

Li Long held the imperial decree and said loudly, "Transmit the imperial decree!"

"Minister of Revenue Gao Wenhe, because he deeply feels the difficulty of impoverished scholars seeking learning, has decided to take out one million taels of silver first to widely accept the impoverished scholars of the world!"

"And in the next ten, twenty, or thirty years, he will take out a total of ten million taels of silver to set up schools in the major commanderies and counties of Great Qian, wishing that the impoverished scholars of our Great Qian will all have books to read, and wishing that the door of the academy will never cut off the path of the impoverished!"

Almost the moment Li Long spoke, the guards behind him also followed suit. ===== CHAPTER 1088 =====
