Chapter 68: Wang Lin Leaves Shouyang

  After seeing off Zhang Rong's slender figure and his seriously injured subordinate leaving together, he comforted the frightened Pan He for a few words, without having breakfast, he went to school with Wang Yan to study.

  Although Gao Wei is very despicable, he claims to be a Han Chinese but harms his own compatriots with the aliens, yet he dares not provoke the dignity of his grandfather Gao Huan. Although Gao Huan was also quite brutal and had a son notorious for being brutally abnormal, it cannot be denied that he was a heroic and farsighted hero. As for the importance of cultural knowledge, with his keen political vision, he would never ignore it.

  Therefore, it is not surprising that Ye City has a school. Although there are many people like Gao A Junfeng who do not learn and have no skills, but the school is still a school.

  I heard that my good brother is going to school, Wang Yan was very excited. He admired his brother's literary talent, and he was happy about it. As for Gao Junfeng, the scoundrel, he could only hide his face in shame.

  It is said that Gao Xing was rewarded by Gao Wei yesterday, and although Wang Yan appeared excited on the surface, his eyes flashed with a hint of sympathetic sadness. As an old minister of the Liang Dynasty, Wang Lin had always been a high-ranking official in Northern Qi, but in reality, he had little power and was a rootless floating weed. Wang Yan grew up in such an environment and naturally wasn't naive about politics; he knew that Gao Xing's gains were far less than what he had lost. The unfree Gao Xing not only suffered himself, but also made Gao Longxun, who was far away in Xuancheng, feel like a thorn in his back, unable to eat or sleep.

  Wang Yong didn't say much, just saying that after school he would invite everyone to drink and celebrate with him.

  Although Gao Xing's body flowed with the noblest blood in the entire Northern Qi, he was still ridiculed by others after entering school. Gao A Junfeng, this young master who had a great feud with Wang Yan and small resentments, looked down on Gao Xing with disdain when he learned of his background. After all, being expelled from the family tree is a shame that surpasses Han Xin's humiliation of crawling between someone's legs.

  For these noisy words, Gaohuang didn't bat an eye, but he couldn't not show any reaction. A string of modern curses flew past, leaving Gaojun Peak stunned like a wooden chicken for quite some time before reacting. However, just as he was about to retaliate, the teacher arrived, and he could only glare at Gaohuang with hatred before obediently sitting down.

  To be honest, for a considerable number of young masters from powerful families, going to school is a painful thing. It's even more so in the school where Gao Xing is located, especially with people like Gao A Junfeng and other noble Xianbei families, who on the surface seem refined but still have a savage nature deep down.

  These mixed-day rascals occupied the back row, happily and naturally taking their place in the first row under Mr.'s eyelids.

  Because of Gao Wei's reward the day before, Gao Xing had a grudge in his heart. As a result, the impulsive behavior in front of Drunken Moon Building triggered his heart demon, and then he had a flash marriage with Zhang Rong. All this thoroughly disrupted Gao Xing's mind. What can be done? Who made him lonely for twenty-five years?

  So happy that I couldn't help but be stunned, my mind was filled with both unsuitable scenes for minors and the information about the Baiyue Sect that Zhang Rong had mentioned, as well as how to interact with Zhang Rong in the future, it was all very confusing.

  The teacher likes diligent students, but is particularly disgusted with lazy students. Don't you see Gao Ah Jun and others holding a book, shaking their heads and pretending to read? They sit idly with empty eyes, standing out from the crowd in an attempt to attract the teacher's attention, and naturally the teacher will satisfy them.

  "Sorry sir, I was distracted. Please punish me!" He stood up excitedly and bowed respectfully to Zhao Zhong in front of him.

  He apologized with a smile, not because he was particularly respectful of his teacher or the Tao, but first because it was his principle to bravely acknowledge his own mistakes, and secondly because Zhao Zhong had humiliated him.

  Zhao Zhongjiang, son of Zhao Yanshen.

  Zhao Yanshen, originally named Zhao Yin, styled Yanshen, was the Prince of Yi Yang of Northern Qi. Because people avoided using his given name due to taboo against the temple name of Northern Qi, he was referred to by his courtesy name instead. At this time, he held the highest supervisory position in Northern Qi, namely the Minister of Works (one of the Three Departments).

  Since Gao Huan took control of the Eastern Wei court until the fall of Northern Qi, only a few decades passed, and among all the chancellors of Northern Qi, only Zhao Yan was able to start and end well. This has a lot to do with his gentle and cautious nature, not showing joy or anger on his face, and being deeply familiar with the ways of officialdom. Of course, this is not to say that he was a sycophant who was good at flattering and intriguing, but rather an extremely talented person, who from the start of his career was gradually entrusted with important tasks and had a smooth path in his official life.

  Zhao Zhongjiang was the most famous of Zhao Yanshen's seven sons, and he was quiet, intelligent, and had his father's style. He was warm, gentle, respectful, and frugal, and treated his wife and daughter with great care, making him a good man in ancient times. Zhao Zhongjiang was well-read from an early age and was particularly skilled at clerical script and cursive script.

  Zhao Zhong is dignified and serious every day, doing things very seriously, looking a bit old-fashioned. When writing letters to his younger brother, he always uses extremely neat Lishu script, thinking that using Caoshu script is being casual towards the other person.

  Whether it's out of admiration for Zhao Zhongjiang's meticulous attitude towards doing things, or admiration for his father's character, or seeking opportunities for future development, Gao Xing thinks that sincerely apologizing to Zhao Zhongjiang is the right thing to do.

  Zhao Zhong was originally very angry, but seeing Gao Xing's sincere apology, the fire in his heart subsided by three points. Moreover, Gao Xing was handsome and talented, making it easier for people to accept him.

  "'When the father is alive, observe his will; when the father is dead, observe his conduct. If for three years he does not change from the way of his father, he can be called filial.' What does it mean?" Although Zhao Zhong was pleased with Gao Xing's attitude in admitting his mistake, this did not mean that he would allow students to be distracted in his class. So, he casually said a sentence to test this student whom he had met for the first time.

  "This sentence was said by Confucius, meaning that to examine whether a person is filial or not, when his father is alive, look at his lofty aspirations; after his father's death, see how he behaves; if within three years he does not change the excellent qualities inherited from his father, then he can be called filial." Gao Xing looked at Zhao Zhongjiang with a cheerful and calm gaze, answering in a steady tone.

  Zhao Zhong nodded slightly, his face still stern and not revealing a hint of a smile, saying stiffly: "You answered very well, I hope you don't forget your father's excellent qualities."

  After Zhao Zhongjiang finished speaking, he returned to the podium and continued his lecture. Gao Ajunfeng, who was sitting in the back row, sighed regretfully, not seeing Zhao Zhongjiang's cold face god's exciting palm, which made him very disappointed.

  Next time I listened carefully without being distracted and felt the cultural treasures left by our ancestors.

  Delighted without noticing, just as he was calmly and unhurriedly apologizing to Zhao Zhong and then answering questions, in the corner of the room, a pair of bright eyes flashed with surprise. It was a slender young man with a very delicate face, wearing a plain and loose green robe made of ordinary fabric.

  Just as Gao was sitting in the lecture hall, listening attentively to the lecture, an imperial edict that made both Gao Changgong and Wang Lin very depressed arrived in Huai Prefecture.

  In the ninth month of the lunar calendar, for areas north of the Yangtze River in northern China, it is already considered late autumn, and the weather has a bit of coolness.

  Chen Guojun's master Chen Xuan originally planned to bring the entire Jianghuai region into his territory before the arrival of next year, but plans couldn't keep up with changes. Langling Wang Gao Changgong was dismissed to Xuyi and worked together with Wang Lin to stubbornly block the mighty army of Chen State like a broken bamboo. Not only that, in the territory of Huai Prefecture, the Chen State's army suffered huge losses.

  When Chen Xu was forced to change his strategy and point his army at Yangzhou, the Northern Qi army, which was thought to be unable to withstand a single blow, suddenly became strong. It is said that all of this was because an auspicious sign appeared in Xuyi City, indicating that the Northern Qi would prosper.

  As soon as he mentioned the word "盱眙", Chen Yun was extremely angry, especially towards that beautiful and elegant Gao Changgong, whom he hated to the bone. With winter approaching, Chen Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. Fighting in the cold winter was extremely disadvantageous for the attacking side, so he had no choice but to urge Wu Mingche to speed up his attack.

  Chen's offensive grew stronger, and the pressure on Yangzhou's capital, Shouyang, increased greatly. After discussion, Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou finally decided to appoint Wang Lin as Governor of Yangzhou, sending him to resist Chen's army in Shouyang, and allowing him to recruit soldiers and buy horses at his own discretion.

  But the imperial court's order, Wang Lin couldn't help but laugh at this, all because of one person. This person was named Lu Qian, the Secretary-General of the Yangzhou Dao Xing Tai (the Central Government's Special Envoy to Yangzhou).
