Chapter 30 Entering the Palace to See You
As soon as dinner time arrived, a maid came to help Murong Ji tidy up his appearance.
I have met the direct descendants of the Wang family and we have gotten to know each other. If there is any need in the future, these younger generations will be the ones to interact with.
Don't underestimate the power of these people. You never know when they will be used.
Murong Ji glanced at the guards in the mansion. Each of them had some martial arts skills of the Murong family.
I immediately understood what was going on.
If you want to train these good players, it will take at least ten years, so you can only find professionals to do it.
Who is it? Murong family.
In fact, there are only three sources of such guards: self-training, recruitment from the underworld, and the military.
In the army, that is the exclusive domain of generals. Do you dare to trust someone recruited from the underworld?
And the ones I trained were more like my own private army. There must be someone to do the work for an official, right? Whether it can be done openly or not, there must be someone to do it.
However, we cannot touch the emperor's sensitive nerves, otherwise no one can withstand the label of rebellion.
What's more, this is a world of high-level martial arts.
This is the role of Huanshi Water Pavilion and Langhuan Jade Cave. The status of the Murong family as a semi-distinguished martial artist is particularly prominent.
It was not until now that Murong Ji understood why the Murong family had been dreaming of becoming emperor for generations, and why they really had the confidence and strength to do so.
Apart from Shaolin Temple, which other force has such extensive accumulation and collection?
In other words, not everyone is suitable for practicing martial arts. Some people are suitable for practicing archery, while others are suitable for practicing swordsmanship.
As long as he has potential, the Murong family and the Wang family can come up with a cultivation method suitable for him.
Whether they are warriors trained by themselves or heroes from the martial arts world, this is the bargaining chip that drives them.
Murong Ji let out a breath. At this moment, he understood why the side branches of the Murong family and their subordinates would sit idly by and watch him, a direct descendant of the family, being bullied.
To them, the entire Murong family's base is no different from the so-called relationships and interests. The Murong family's existence is more like the leader of the martial arts world.
The large and small villages and gangs below pay regular fees, run errands, and obey the orders of the Murong family. Is it because they are impressed by the Murong family's status, reputation, and brotherhood?
But in reality, it is not what I thought.
For these manor owners and gang leaders, the competition for the "Leader of the Martial Arts World" has nothing to do with them. They just need to know who is the boss of the Murong family.
I feel helpless, but it is also realistic. As long as Shishui Pavilion is still there and there are still people in the Murong family, it is not impossible to release a dog there.
Suddenly, Murong Ji laughed and said, "That's good, very good!"
There is no difference between Murong Ji and Murong Fu.
It turned out that what Murong Fu was afraid of was that he and he would compete with each other for the Murong family, which was the foundation for the revival of Great Yan!
He said that before he even had a chance to take the throne, he was already killing his own brothers? What kind of brain could do such a thing?
After dinner, Wang Shen took Murong Ji into the study.
"sit."
After Murong Ji sat down obediently, Wang Shen said, "I heard from your uncle that you don't have much interest in being an official. What's going on?"
Murong Ji smiled and said, "Uncle, I just think that martial arts is more suitable for me."
Wang Shen's brows were almost furrowed. How could his martial arts talent be better than Murong Fu's? That was the heir that everyone recognized by default.
Wang Shen looked him up and down, frowned and asked, "Do you want to be the head of the Murong family?"
Murong Ji was somewhat tempted, but he couldn't show it now.
He shook his head and said, "I just want to make achievements in martial arts, that's all. Besides, I have some opportunities related to Mr. Xiyi."
"Uncle, I heard that Mr. Xiyi has close ties with the royal family. Can you arrange for me to work in the imperial study? I want to take a look..."
Wang Shen's face turned black. What kind of request was this?! Did he think his Wang family was omnipotent?! If anyone dared to touch the foundation of the Song Dynasty, his wife would be able to make his Wang family famous. "You should ask your aunt about this matter." After a long silence, he added, "Just say that you are the successor of Mr. Xiyi."
Murong understood it very well.
After staying at Wang's house for a few days, the little emperor's imperial edict arrived.
Murong Ji was summoned to the palace to meet the emperor.
Not only Murong Ji looked confused, but even the Wang family members looked confused.
After packing up, the step-aunt brought Murong Ji into the palace to meet the emperor.
It was said that he was going to meet the emperor, but in fact it was just that Empress Dowager Gao (Gao Taotao) wanted to see him. Since he was going to enter the harem, he had to be watched to avoid being plotted against.
No one except her aunt could be trusted with this matter! Without relatives to accompany her, she might be taken to some concubine, and then...
Then the Nine Clans Salvation Gift Package will be delivered!
It is almost impossible to bring your nearly adult juniors to the harem, of course there are special circumstances.
Such as now.
At this time, even if you have a grudge against your stepmother, you don't need to worry about the mistress's plot. She is more nervous than you and wants to tie you to her waist.
I would rather you have a scandal with her than see you meet more often with other concubines.
If you dance on the emperor's nerves, one mistake will lead to the sacrifice of your entire clan.
"Don't look around for a while, just keep your head down. If someone asks you a question, just refuse if you can. If you can't, just play dumb."
Murong Ji nodded and followed his aunt step by step into the Song Dynasty Palace.
"Aunt, can I go to the imperial study and take a look?"
My aunt paused, her expression a little serious, "Why are you interested in that place?"
"It's part of Mr. Xiyi's inheritance, so..." He took out a scroll, the Wuji part of "The Inner Path of the Key to Sex and Life".
The aunt suddenly understood, as if she had figured everything out. She looked her nephew up and down as if she had just met him.
"Let's go."
They neither agreed nor disagreed. It was not something they could decide.
There are many masters here. Among the eunuchs and palace maids, there are always a few who are as powerful as themselves.
[Is there really a Sunflower Manual? ]
As soon as the idea came out, people were awakened.
"What are you daydreaming about? Let's go." His aunt reminded him softly, and Murong Ji followed his aunt into the palace.
I looked up slightly and saw a curtain hanging in front of me, so I couldn't see what was going on inside. Behind the curtain, there was a duckweed.
The embroidery is of a dragon and phoenix.
"Lift your head and let me see."
Murong Ji slowly raised his head and found that the curtain had been rolled up by the palace maid and the screen had been moved away.
The first thing he saw was a child of about seven or eight years old, wearing a bright red dragon robe. He knew without thinking who this was, Emperor Zhezong.
The word "Zhezong" cannot be spoken out loud. Once it is spoken out, it will be a big deal. All nine clans will be sacrificed! He is not dead yet.
Murong Ji bowed first and said, "Greetings to the Empress Dowager! Your Highness."
"Get up."
Murong Ji stood up and looked up. He saw a young-looking woman standing beside him. She was probably the biological mother of Emperor Zhezong. Opposite her was his step-aunt.
