Chapter 31 Su Shi's Leisure
Seeing her wink at me, I felt relieved. At least there was no problem now.

Sitting at the head is Empress Dowager Gao. She looks very young and well-maintained. Who could believe that she is a fifty-year-old old lady?
"Well, he is a child of a noble family after all, and he looks good."

Murong Ji quickly lowered his head, then remained silent, listening quietly to the conversation above.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Murong Ji to follow his aunt to the side hall in the palace to wait.

This is where foreign officials sit and rest when they go to court.

Not long after, I saw Su Shi coming leisurely. He glanced inside the room, and after making sure that no one was there, he walked in and stretched.

"Oh, it's so tiring to be on duty. When will I get off? Really, what should I eat..."

"Fuck! A bunch of censors, you have nothing to do but stare at me, right? I demolished your graves, so what?!"

"Ay Ya I gi!"

Murong Ji's sudden appearance scared Su Shi so much that he almost fell to the ground. After seeing that it was Murong Ji, he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was caught on the spot.

"Why are you here?!"

Murong Ji looked at the time, then at Su Shi's official uniform. Is he, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat of the Song Dynasty, so idle?

He remembered that apart from being the prefect, Su Shi seemed to have held other sinecure positions, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Su Shi is at the pinnacle of life! Less work, more money, and a high position. Where else can you find such a position? !

"Ahem, Mr. Su."

"Why are you here? Who brought you here?"

Murong Ji smiled and said, "My aunt brought me here to see the emperor in the palace."

Then, he pulled Su Shi's sleeve and whispered, "Mr. Su, I want to go to the Imperial Study to see if you can get it working."

Su Shi gave him a strange look and said, "Sure, just cut it and it will be fine. With your Wang family's connections, it's easy to be a directive eunuch."

Murong Ji: "..."

"That's not what I meant."

"Ah, then I can't help it. The palace maids don't accept men, even though you look good..."

Murong Ji: "..."

There's no way to chat today, right? Okay, that's great.

Amid Su Shi's teasing expression, Murong Ji suddenly shouted loudly: "Su Zizhan's escape is worth it! Su Zizhan escaped... woo woo..."

Su Shi covered his mouth tightly, knowing that he was very skilled in martial arts and was using all his strength.

"You naughty boy! How can you be so ignorant? I am already over 40 years old, how can I bear such slander from you!"

"I have suffered so much for the people's livelihood... Oh my, let go! Let go! You bastard! Let go!"

The old man and the young man, after finally reconciling, sat opposite each other and looked at each other.

Murong Ji suddenly asked: "Mr. Su, is this possible?"

Su Shi thought about it carefully, "There is room for maneuver. The emperor is looking for a study partner...if..."

Murong Ji's eyes lit up and he was about to speak when there was a noise outside the door.

When his uncle came over with his men, Su Shi said hastily, "I will discuss this with your uncle, so you don't have to worry about it."

Murong Ji nodded in thanks.

After a round of greetings, they got their uncle Wang Shen off duty and returned to the mansion together. In the next few days, there was almost nothing to do, and practicing martial arts and reading became the norm.

It was not until half a month later that news came from the palace that Murong Ji was to be the emperor's martial arts instructor.

When hearing the news, Murong Ji was completely stunned.

When he came out of his small courtyard, he saw his aunt. Before leaving, his aunt gave him some special instructions.

Murong Ji was escorted to the gate of the palace before he followed an old eunuch to the imperial palace.

Looking at the eunuch in front of him, this guy also has some kung fu skills. Judging from his footsteps, it is obvious that he is not even as good as himself.

There were seven or eight people standing on the martial arts field in the imperial palace. At a glance, they were all sons of military families. The old eunuch motioned Murong Ji to stand over there.

Then came the test. The examiner was an acquaintance, the guard of the middle-aged man he met that day. It was only now that Murong Ji knew his name, Yang Bangyu.

【The Yang Family Generals. 】

Behind him stood a child, the little emperor.

"The assessment begins"

Murong Ji won easily, really without any pressure. He was a little confused, thinking that the children of generals should not be so rubbish.

In his impression, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Yue Fei and others are all capable fighters.

He frowned slightly, looking at these sons of military families, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. If they were all like this, the army of the Song Dynasty would really be...

(In fact, before Jingkang, a large number of sons of military families held important positions, some of whom were capable, while others were just incompetent.

Those idiots suppressed the outstanding generals who came from grassroots backgrounds for various reasons.

This was the case with Han Shizhong. He became famous in the Western Army very early, but the Western Army was almost monopolized by generals such as the Yang family, the Zhong family, and the Zhe family.

This behavior directly pitted Lao Zhong and Da Zhong, and the father and son died on the battlefield. If Zhe Keqiu had not surrendered quickly... In fact, he had no choice, looking at the person he was fighting, Wanyan Loushi.

Defeat was inevitable, the quality of the army was not on the same level. This was the fault of Emperor Huizong, who neglected to train the army during his reign, and there was a huge shortage of military funds and armor.

The imperial guards who were guarding the imperial city were dragged by him to play football. Just imagine it.)
After becoming the little emperor's tutor, Murong Ji was allowed to enter and leave the imperial study. In fact, this was also a special period, and the emperor did not need to handle the confidential matters of the Song Dynasty.

The Imperial Study became the place where the little emperor studied.

Teaching the young emperor to practice Taoist internal strength was considered to have satisfied his requirements. He remembered that this emperor was one of the few in the Song Dynasty.

Murong Ji let out a breath and glanced at the female official standing beside him. This female official was very powerful, but he didn't know how powerful she was. She followed the little emperor closely and always stood in an inconspicuous position.

Following the little emperor into the imperial study, Murong Ji saw an old eunuch as soon as he entered the door. His pupils shrank and he nodded slightly as a salute.

As Murong Ji expected, the Imperial Study indeed contained a large number of Chen Tuan's relics, books and experiences.

When the emperor was in class, Murong Ji would study these things. In his spare time, he would smuggle private goods for the little emperor...

Of course, this reached the ears of the Wang family, the Empress Dowager, Su Shi, and the Yang family.

The decision that Murong Ji had been waiting for did not come, as if they all agreed to it.

The news from the Beggars' Sect was of great use. It could be used to broaden the young emperor's horizons and let him see what the real Song Dynasty was like.

At this time, the Song Dynasty had a very strong foundation, with the accumulation of several generations of emperors and an extensive collection in the Imperial Study.

Most of the deeds, works, etc. of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are collected.

Murong Ji happened to come across a biography of martial arts figures of the time. The first volume was about Taizu Changquan, Zhao Kuangyin!
