Immediately, Guan Ning found Butler Wu. The Zhenbei Palace had some hidden connections in the upper capital. It was not so openly. Guan Ning confessed some things and secretly stared at a few people for investigation.

In order to avoid alerting others, we can only proceed in secret...

It was already dark now, but many people were not sleepy.

Soon, news of Shi Hongfu's death spread within the Ministry of War. However, in the name of caring about his face, Deng Qiu, the left minister, suppressed the matter and handled it in a low-key manner, so it did not cause too much trouble...

At the same time, a hall in the residence of Lu Zhaoling, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was brightly lit, and many people gathered here.

Most of those present were high-ranking officials from various departments and offices in the DPRK, and they were all members of the Mei Party.

There is something wrong with gathering so many people in private.

Although externally they are known as the Mei Party and the Snow Party, no one will admit that this is just a clique for personal gain.

As for Lu Zhaoling, who was always more careful, how could he be so aboveboard?

Everyone was puzzled.

At this time when the dispute between Mei Xue's two parties is serious, isn't this just a slap in the face?

Soon, Lu Zhaoling revealed the purpose of this gathering, which was to hold a poetry appreciation party.

Everyone suddenly realized.

This is the tradition of the Mei Party. Whenever they encounter or collect good articles and poems, they will hold poetry appreciation meetings and discuss them.

Why do it at night? Because they are all important officials and they are busy with official duties during the day, so how can they have time?

Everyone has a strong sense of expectation. Lu Zhaoling has very strict requirements for poems about plum blossoms. Normally, he would not be able to catch his eye. If he takes the lead, it will definitely be a poem that will be handed down from generation to generation.

After everyone sat down, Lu Zhaoling took out the first poem, which was written by Guan Ning.

There are several plum trees in the corner, and Ling Han is blooming alone.

I knew it wasn't snow from afar, because there was a faint fragrance.

As soon as this poem came out, everyone was immediately amazed and praised.

However, this is just the beginning.

Lu Zhaoling took out each song one after another, causing great shock.

"Four poems in one word?"

"It fell into pieces and was crushed into dust, but only the fragrance remains the same!"

An old Confucian's hands and feet were trembling with excitement.

"A sentence for eternity, a sentence for eternity!"

"It is natural for scholars of my generation to serve as officials in the court!"

"My favorite is San Zuo Qian Kun Wan Li Chun, which is simply mind-numbing."

"Both of them are fine products and will surely become classics handed down from generation to generation!"

"Who did this?"

"Could it be Mr. Lu?"

"Is it Du Xiucai, the master of poetry, or Li Yiyun, the master of ci?"

"It's so clear!"

Many officials were not as majestic as before. At this moment, their faces were excited and flushed, which was simply indescribable.

"What is the name of this poem?"

"Yes, Mr. Lu, it's better not to show off."

Under questioning, Lu Zhaoling hesitated and said: "These four poems are actually written by the same person!"

"same person?"

"This... is simply a great talent in this world, Shijun is nothing more than that."

"No, no one can do it except Shijun."

Lu Zhaoling coughed dryly and said: "Because they were written by the same person, there is no separate title for the poems. There is only a general name, called Guan Ning's Five Poems on Plum Blossoms."

"What?"

"Guan Ning's five poems about plum blossoms?"

"Guan Ning, isn't this the dandy prince? Could it be?"

"Lord Lian is joking, there must be someone with the same name, but where did Guan Ning come from to have such talent and learning?"

"There is no... duplicate name."

Lu Zhaoling said awkwardly: "It was indeed done by Guan Ning, that Prince Guan..."

Everyone's jaw dropped.

At the same time, in the Imperial Academy, in a quiet courtyard, people were coming and going, walking in a hurry, just like daytime.

This is the Poetry Pavilion, where the best poets from the Kang Dynasty gathered together and recorded and collected poems passed down from generation to generation.

"Brother Wu, what's going on in your poetry pavilion? Why is it so busy at this late night?"

"A new work has arrived, I'll make a record of it."

"What kind of poem? As for this, I just saw Ye Daru coming."

"The incredible poem has reached the level of being handed down from generation to generation and shocking the world!"

"Legendary and shocking to the world?"

"Yes, and it's still four poems."

"Four poems in one word? Who wrote it?"

"I don't know. Anyway, it was Lu Yunyun, the granddaughter of Mr. Lu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, who sent it."

"Where is the poem? Can I see it?"

"sure!"

Starting from the entire Poetry Pavilion, until it spread to every pavilion and room in the entire Imperial College, everyone was shocked by these four poems!

Lu Yunyun was originally attending the Poetry Pavilion. She sent a few manuscripts in the evening, but suddenly something happened and she left again.

It was only when someone was sorting it out in the evening that they discovered these poems, and they were immediately shocked to the heavens, which led to this scene.

It's just that there is no author named on the manuscript, so it must not be Lu Yunyun. Although this little girl has some talent, she will not reach this level.

"Who is this author?"

"What a great talent! What a great talent!"

"There is no one more beautiful than the one who sings plum blossoms in this world."

"Find the author!"

"Yes, such a great talent should not be buried!"

"Today is too late, tomorrow will tell."

Everyone said their own words, and even Guan Ning did not expect that his random songs at Lu Zhaoling's residence had already caused a great shock...

Yesterday due to the investigation, he slept a little late, and he got up early today. Jin Yue woke him up and asked him to go to the Imperial College, where he went to school.

Guan Ning is helpless. No matter how he travels through time, he can't escape the fate of studying?

But he is still looking forward to it. In his previous life, he was an excellent academic in all subjects. He liked the environment in the college very much, and now he can experience it again.

And he has to go too.

This was not his own wish, but the arrangement of Emperor Long Jing.

The reason why Emperor Longjing transferred him to the capital in the first place was that the prince of Zhenbei Palace was young, incompetent in literature, and incompetent in martial arts. He should study hard and practice hard to improve himself before he could take on big responsibilities.

This reason is absolutely sufficient.

Because Prince Guan is really unbearable.

In fact, it was for Guan Ning to learn and improve himself.

For this reason, Guan Ning was assigned to the Imperial College.

In layman's terms, the Imperial College was the highest institution of learning and educational administration in the Kang Dynasty. Especially after Emperor Longjing implemented reforms, the Imperial College was not only the highest institution of learning, but also a cultural center.

It houses various schools, various pavilions, hundreds of schools of thought, poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, grammar, calligraphy, etc. all gathered together to collide with each other and have cultural exchanges.

This is an institution of higher learning, and it is also an aristocratic institution. It is not friendly to common people and has strict requirements.

But those who can enter here are all outstanding people.

Moreover, there is a special martial arts pavilion in the Imperial College where martial arts can be taught. This is a comprehensive academy.

Therefore, Emperor Longjing arranged Guan Ning here and set a strict assessment system. Only if he met the requirements, he would be allowed to return to preside over the Zhenbei Palace.
