Chapter 1099: Vice Minister Gao is truly a model for our generation

Hearing this, Gao Feng sighed.

His path to learning in those days was indeed like this.

Hard!

Too hard!

Climbing trees to steal bird eggs and giving his best friend a "thousand-year kill" from behind were just a few of the rare pleasures in his hard study.

The scholars, upon hearing this, were also deeply moved.

One look from an expert, and you know if it's real.

They looked at Gao Feng, moved, with expressions of surprise flashing across their faces.

The little-known Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Gao Feng, actually had such talent?

Although it was only the first sentence, they were certain that this "Preface to Sending the Rebellious Son Gao Yang to Changancheng" was definitely extraordinary.

Gao Yang muttered in his heart, "I'm sorry, Old Master Song. For the grand opening of Royal No. 1, for those ten million taels of silver, and for the path to learning for students from impoverished families across the world."

He would shamelessly use this "Preface to Sending Ma Sheng of Dongyang."

Anyway, it wasn't the first time he had done this, so Gao Yang was familiar with the process. He just silently condemned himself in his heart and continued to say loudly.

"The weather was extremely cold, the ink in the inkstone was frozen solid, and my fingers could not bend or stretch, but I did not slack off. After copying, I ran to return it, not daring to be even a little late!"

As soon as this sentence was spoken.

The scholars bowed one after another, looking at Gao Feng with admiration.

"Borrow and return, and it won't be hard to borrow again. This character of Vice Minister Gao is simply impeccable!"

"Indeed!"

"Even though the weather was cold and the ink was frozen, he did not slack off, immediately copied it, and never broke his promise. This is the act of a gentleman!"

"Vice Minister Gao is truly a model for our generation!"

Gao Feng stroked his beard, wearing a smile.

Facing the scholars, he pressed his hand down and said loudly, "A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand taels of gold. Since it was borrowed and a time was agreed upon, how could one break the promise? This is the most basic quality of a person!"

Gao Yang looked at Gao Feng's face, his mouth twitching slightly.

"Yang'er, continue."

"Read out loud everything I wrote after this."

"I cannot be too selfish. It is my duty to encourage the scholars of Changancheng to study hard!"

He looked at Gao Yang with a satisfied expression and said loudly.

Fixed impressions are deadly. That line about "Looking at a big rock from afar, looking at a rock from near" had too much power, causing him to forget Gao Yang's hiding of his talents and his suppression of the entire Great Chu delegation in the Jin Luan Hall.

Now it seems this rebellious son really has something!

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang continued.

Accompanied by his voice, this slightly modified "Preface to Sending Ma Sheng of Dongyang" was born in Da Qian. Every sentence made some students from impoverished families sigh endlessly.

They were deeply moved, thinking of their own paths to learning.

Some students with stronger empathy even thought of the students in the remote areas of Da Qian, and they couldn't help but sigh even more.

Gao Yang's voice grew louder and louder, echoing in the ears of the scholars.

"When I followed my teacher, I carried my book bag and dragged my shoes, walking through great mountains and deep valleys. Even in the bitter winter with fierce winds and deep snow several feet thick, my hands and feet were cracked and I didn't know…"

Gao Feng's mouth twitched upon hearing this.

Carrying a book bag and dragging shoes, walking through great mountains and deep valleys?

And the cold wind howling, with deep snow several feet thick?

Were the conditions that hard?

But looking at the eager gazes, he remained calm, stroked his beard, and said, "Those days were not like today; the conditions were indeed quite hard."

Soon.

Accompanied by Gao Yang's voice, the Da Qian version of the "Preface to Sending the Rebellious Son Gao Yang to Changancheng" was born.

"Hiss!"

When Gao Yang's voice stopped abruptly, a sound of gasping echoed.

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

Some students from humble backgrounds who had experienced thousands of hardships were even in tears.

They thought of their own paths to learning, thought of the injustice of society, but were touched by Gao Yang's sentences one after another.

"The fellow students all wore hats with red tassels and jewelry, with white jade rings at their waists, shining like gods. This sentence really poked me, but unlike Vice Minister Gao, when I saw this scene, I felt extremely inferior!"

"Having enough joy within, I did not know that the offerings of mouth and body were not as good as others. This sentence is too perfect. There is a golden house in books; how could I know I am not as good as others?"

"Vice Minister Gao has great talent!"

"No wonder Lord Gao is so talented. It turns out Vice Minister Gao once wrote such a 'Preface to Sending the Rebellious Son Gao Yang to Changancheng.' This touched us too deeply!"

For a time.

Swish, swish, swish!

Numerous admiring eyes looked at Gao Feng, and voices rang out.

Some excited scholars even knelt directly to Gao Feng.

"Today, hearing Vice Minister Gao's 'Preface to Sending the Rebellious Son Gao Yang to Changancheng' is like reading books for ten years. Vice Minister Gao, please accept my bow!"

"Vice Minister Gao is truly a great talent!"

"Vice Minister Gao had such a learning experience in his youth; it is simply hard to believe, but everything is getting better!"

Not to mention the scholars of Changancheng, even Gao Feng himself was stunned.

He looked at Gao Yang in shock, unable to believe it.

This rebellious son, he is actually this talented?

That line about "having enough joy within, not knowing that the offerings of mouth and body were not as good as others" was so perfect that he even wanted to kneel to Gao Yang!

But soon, the voices of the scholars rang out, bringing Gao Feng back to his senses.

He looked out and saw a sea of scholars kneeling to him in unison.

Huang Zhizhan and the others bowed respectfully to him, "As scholars, we should speak directly. Your subordinate truly did not expect that Vice Minister Gao would have such talent!"

Subsequently, he sighed, "Rumors mislead people!"

This "Preface to Sending the Rebellious Son Gao Yang to Changancheng," in his heart, was enough to be deified, so Huang Zhizhan spoke quite directly.

"Lord Huang, what is this rumor?"

Gao Feng frowned and spoke, feeling that something was not right.

Huang Zhizhan spoke very frankly, "I don't know who it was, but it was secretly said that Vice Minister Gao was a straw bag with no ink in his chest, and that being able to enter the Ministry of Revenue was already a gift from His Majesty!"

"But now it seems that with this 'Preface to Sending the Rebellious Son Gao Yang to Changancheng,' it is enough to prove that there is a villain behind this, jealous of Vice Minister Gao's talent!"

Saying this, Huang Zhizhan laughed loudly.

But Gao Feng couldn't laugh.

Damn it, is that the rumor about him in the court?

Gao Yang wanted to laugh, but didn't dare to, so he felt somewhat uncomfortable holding it in.

But at this moment, Chi Potian was completely desperate.

Everything, everything had been brought to light.

The Living Yama is truly a good person; he really cares about the students from impoverished families in the world!

Then there is even less need to talk about the Nursery Hall matter. It was he who had measured a gentleman's heart with a petty person's yardstick!
