557 Taking in a disciple (2)

Compared to a capable and talented young man who was making connections and forming cliques everywhere, it was more in line with the emperor’s wishes to be a lone official.

“Your name and body will be destroyed, but the river will flow through the ages!”

Emperor Yuan jing laughed and said with a teasing expression, “”Good poem, good poem, our Da Feng poetry King is well-deserved. Great companion, pass down my orders. Order the Hanlin Academy to record this matter in the annals of history. I want to personally look over it. ”

This was The Emperor’s Revenge on those nerds of the Hanlin Academy … The two poems by the Xu brothers had pleased the Emperor greatly. The old eunuch accepted the order and left.

Your Cao’s name and body will be destroyed, but the river will flow through the ages!

Emperor Yuan jing recited the poem again. The pleasure on his face gradually faded, and his desire for immortality became more and more intense.

………….

During lunch, Chu Yuanyang listened to his old friend talk about what happened in the court, as well as the scene of Xu ningyan blocking the hundreds of officials with a knife and mocking them with poetry.

This, this was actually the way to break out of the situation … It was a good idea to use the noble to fight against the Civil officials, but it was extremely difficult. How did Xu ningyan and number three do it … Number three and Xu ningyan were indeed brothers. They were both talented in poetry.

It was a pity that number three’s level was still too low and he was far behind his cousin Xu Qi ‘an. Otherwise, there would have been number three among the people who entered the tomb that day.

Of course, the scholarly faction had been weak for a long time, so it was understandable that the third grade was low.

Chu Yuanqian praised number three’s poem in the court and did not say anything more. It was a good poem, but unfortunately, the last line did not hit his heart.

On the other hand, Xu ningyan’s ridiculing poem made Chu Yuanqian’s blood boil, and she drank three cups on the spot.

“I’ve long wanted to scold those people who are in a dead position without eating anything, but unfortunately, poetry is not my Forte. Xu ningyan is indeed the best poet in Dafeng.” Chu Yuanxi laughed.

His entire body felt carefree, and he had the urge to immediately find Xu Ning for a banquet, drink and chat with him, and get drunk.

However, considering that he had just solved his cousin’s imperial examination fraud case and had some trivial matters to deal with, he held back his impulse.

………..

The Wang Manor.

Wang si mu, who had been paying close attention to this case, had heard about the fierce dispute that had taken place in the court today, as well as the sarcastic poem at the meridian Gate, through her own channels.

“I knew it. Xu Huiyuan’s talent is unparalleled. How could he have cheated in the imperial examination? His cousin, Xu ningyan, was even more capable in this matter. He was able to get Duke Cao and Prince Yu to speak up for Xu Huiyuan, as well as the court.

“This network is unusual. What surprised me the most was that Wei Yuan didn’t make a move. From the beginning to the end, he just stood by and watched. In this way, Xu Huiyuan won’t be branded as the eunuch’s conspirator, which is a good thing that will have a far-reaching impact on him.”

Of course, it’s also a good thing for me … Miss Wang smiled.

The maidservant, LAN ‘er, was at the side, pretending to be listening attentively, but her mind was actually filled with confusion.

“LAN ‘er, go to the Xu residence again and help me date Xu Huiyuan … No, this will make me seem unreserved and I’m asking for credit.” Miss Wang shook her head and dismissed the idea.

He thought,”at this time, being silent will instead highlight my bearing and structure. If I rush to claim credit, I’ll be looked down upon by the Xu family’s matriarch.”

Smart people didn’t need to make things too obvious, as long as they had a tacit understanding.

…………

Imperial astronomer.

When yang qianhuan passed by the pill refinement room on the seventh floor, he overheard his junior brothers discussing what had happened during the morning court session. He had originally disdained such matters and couldn’t be bothered to listen.

However, yang qianhuan’s footsteps slowed down when she heard the words ‘Xu ningyan’s banquet’. Her instincts were telling her that this might be another opportunity for her to gain more knowledge points.

young master Xu’s poem was so satisfying. I think it’s the first sarcastic poem in history.

“Look at what you’re saying. It’s too exaggerated, but it’s indeed very satisfying, especially in front of all the civil and military officials, blocking the meridian Gate, and saying …”

Poems? What poem?

Yang qianhuan approached him silently and said in a deep voice, “”What are you guys talking about?”

The white-robed alchemists were shocked. They stared at the back of his head and complained, “”Senior brother yang, you’re always like this. It’s really scary.”

“What did Xu ningyan do this time?” yang qianhuan ignored him and asked,”he blocked all the officials at the meridian Gate by himself?” What is the first ever ridiculing poem in history?”

The white-robed Alchemist then recounted the events of the day to yang qianhuan.

Yang qianhuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. An image appeared in his mind. After the court was dismissed, the officials were slowly walking out of the meridian Gate. At this moment, he suddenly saw a white-robed figure standing there with his back to the crowd, blocking the way of the officials.

The Lords were furious and berated the white-robed sorcerer for not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth and blocking their way.

The white-robed sorcerer ignored the curses that filled the sky. Suddenly, he began to chant, “”Your name and body will be destroyed, but the river will flow through the ages.”

All of the officials were dumbstruck and shocked.

At this thought, yang qianhuan felt as if electricity was coursing through his body. He shuddered uncontrollably, and goosebumps appeared on his neck and arms.

“Why, why is Xu ningyan always able to do one thing after another, one thing after another that makes people envious? Yunzhou fended off four hundred rebel soldiers and fought against the Buddhist sect under the watchful eyes of the public … It was too unfair, too unfair.

“When is the next court session? I, I also want to go to the meridian Gate, I must go.”

………..

In the afternoon, in the Imperial Academy.

Xu Qi ‘an and Fu Xiang sat opposite each other and drank tea. As they talked and laughed, Xu Qi’ an told Fu Xiang about what had happened in the court today, accompanied by a patriotic poem that Xu Xinyi had ” written “, as well as the half of the poem he had written at the meridian Gate.
