Chapter 807 - 98: Common Man, Confucian Scholar, Su Wang_2
At this moment, both Chen Dingye and Jiang Wanxiang simultaneously lifted their heads, their gazes scrutinizing, watching the quietly seated Gongyang Su Wang from afar. This Su Wang, born into poverty, had to copy books for rich aristocratic families in his youth just to have the chance to read them.
If it meant acquiring knowledge, he would trek hundreds of miles, merely seeking the essence of one word.
After inquiring, he would promptly return home.
Gongyang Su Wang, born into hardship, suppressed conflicts between different schools, yet several times refused the invitations from Chen Country and Ying Country to enter officialdom, all to maintain the existence of the Academy during these turbulent times.
Talented individuals from across the world would come to the Academy to further their studies, learning the Six Arts of Confucianism and the doctrines of All Schools. Over the years, he managed to quell countless school disputes, ensuring most scholars could study peacefully. Through generations of accumulation, today’s legacy was formed.
He even allowed the Academy’s scholars to enter the world.

He held wine to offer to Ji Zichang, then drank alone.
