Not far from the Mei Garden, there was a three-story tavern, which was overflowing with people today.
Different from the commoners who could only crowd outside the garden.
Those in the capital interested in today's academic debate, yet inconvenient to attend, had rented nearby buildings days in advance to quickly get updates on the debate's progress.
"Hmm, did it end so soon?"
On the third floor of the tavern, "Pure Stream Party Leader" Yuann Li sat by the window, slightly surprised, gazing at the group led by Mr. Zhengyang walking out from the main gate of Mei Garden.
Surprise was evidently etched on his refined face.
Sitting opposite Yuan Qingyi, was none other than the current Prime Minister Li Yanfu.
Today, the two political rivals on the imperial stage uncharacteristically sat together, watching this significant academic battle from a distance.
"Huh?"
