Chapter 557 (1/2)



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.
