Chapter 377 Apprenticeship
The emperor looked at the students sitting below.

His eyes were full of admiration and expectation, as if he really came to select talents for the Daqing Dynasty.

Not long after, he picked out a man and asked about some historical references.

That man spoke in a coherent manner, quoting scriptures without any hesitation.

The emperor listened, obviously showing admiration, he must be very satisfied, and immediately asked him to sit down first.

The man was so happy that he straightened his back and raised his neck, as if he had won the first prize.

The emperor then randomly selected a few more people and questioned them one by one on some of the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as the current state policy.

Some people answered fluently.

There are also some people, I don’t know if they are too nervous, but they stumble and hesitate when answering.

The emperor looked calm and didn't say anything, so he asked them all to sit down.

The answer is good, naturally he is very ambitious.

If you don’t answer well, you will feel regretful and full of annoyance.

"By the way, it's the same as before——"

After a few more people passed by, the emperor suddenly recalled Xie Rugu's name.

Hearing this, Xie Rugu stood up and said with a helpless smile: "Your Majesty, don't you know how much ink I have in my stomach? Even the gentlemen in the palace said that I am naughty and not a material for success. Why don't you stop questioning me?"

There are princes and princesses in the palace, and they are all taught by teachers specially selected by the royal family.

Xie Ru was of high status and had the eldest princess around, and he also went to the palace to receive instruction when he was a child.

pity……

Probably because there are many military generals in Duke Dingguo's palace, his military value is not low, but in terms of talent and learning, he is far behind.

Hearing what he said, the emperor was amused and laughed, but also a little helpless, "You, you, you actually said it so openly, are you not afraid of embarrassment?"

Xie Rugu had a fearless look on his face, "I have always been like this. Who in the whole country doesn't know? You can't hide it even if you want to. It's better to admit it happily. It's still open and aboveboard."

The emperor clicked his tongue in surprise, "Who said you don't have any ink in your belly? I see you are very smart with your tongue. You can turn black into white."

Xie Ru curled his lips and didn't care.

The emperor waved his hand, "That's all, I really don't bother to test your talent and knowledge. I'm afraid I can't find even one or two ink in your belly after searching it for three days and three nights."

Xie Rugu cupped his hands and said, "Then your Majesty, please let me go."

The emperor looked like a child who cannot be taught, and shook his head in disappointment.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Majesty has a very good relationship with Xie Rugu, and he is joking with Xie Rugu.

The emperor immediately said: "Since you said so, I won't ask you. I will ask Miss Song Er."

When Xie Rugu heard this, his eyes darkened almost invisible.

Song Shiyun stood up gracefully, bowed to the emperor, and said proactively: "If your majesty wants to question civilian girls... I'm afraid you are looking down on Shiyun. Shiyun grew up in the countryside and only had a superficial understanding of literature. I can read and read, but I haven’t read all the Four Books and Five Classics... I’m afraid it will disturb His Majesty’s interest.”

After hearing this, Song Siwen stood up and apologized: "Back to Your Majesty, Shi Yun has been fostered in the countryside before and has indeed never read any books. Only then did she enter the Imperial College. She wanted to study more and become more sensible. However, with her talent and learning, she was in front of Your Majesty and all of you." , it is really worthless, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "I have heard before that the Second Miss Song came back from the countryside, but didn't Master Zhang say that the Second Miss is not an ordinary person?"

He looked at Mr. Zhang behind him questioningly.

Hearing this, Master Zhang immediately came out and explained: "Your Majesty, there is a specialization in this art. The second lady may not be good at studying, but she is quite talented in the Xuanmen lineage. If she is taught well in the future, her future will be immeasurable. .”

The emperor looked at Zhenren Zhang, "Zhenzhen seems to like Miss Song Er very much?"

Zhang Zhenren cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. The second lady is really talented and has helped our Tiansi Bureau a lot. We are all from the same sect, so naturally we feel sympathy for each other."

Master Zhou also praised Song Shiyun a few words.

When Song Shiyun heard this, he leaned forward and said, "Two great men are so proud of each other."

The emperor looked at Song Shiyun, then at Master Zhang, and rolled his eyes, "I remember, Master Zhang doesn't seem to have any direct disciples from the inner sect?"

Zhang Zhenren has taken on a lot of disciples, but they are all outer disciples.

The one who can truly inherit his mantle has yet to appear.

People in Xuanmen have a clear distinction between inside and outside.

Although outer disciples can also teach, teach, and resolve doubts, but if they are to teach others with all their resources, then they can only be their direct disciples.

Even the magical weapons, secret books, etc. that he owns now will only be inherited by his direct disciples in the future.

Zhang Zhenren is quite picky about this.Therefore, within so many years, Master Zhou has had his own direct disciples, but he has not found his own direct disciples.

Master Zhang had no choice but to smile and said, "Your Majesty, please bear in mind that I haven't found the right one yet."

The emperor smiled: "I think the right person is right here, isn't she?"

Zhang Zhenren was taken aback.

Song Shiyun frowned.

Both of them realized what your majesty meant.

really.

The next second, the emperor looked at Song Shiyun and said with a smile: "The real person admires the second young lady Song so much. The second young lady is extremely talented and has a relationship with the Tiansi Bureau. It would be better if the real person accepts the second young lady as his disciple." Letting the second young lady join the Tiansi Bureau is justifiable, and asking the second young lady to work for the Tiansi Bureau and the imperial court is a good thing, isn't it?"

Zhang Zhenren was immediately embarrassed, "This..."

It’s okay if others don’t know.

But he knew in his heart that he looked at him now and his cultivation level was above that of Song Shiyun.

But in terms of experience and ability, he is only inferior to Song Shiyun.

How can he be embarrassed to be Song Shiyun's apprentice?
Seeing him hesitating, the emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, is the real person not willing?"

Master Zhang hasn't spoken yet.

Song Shiyun then said: "If the real person is willing to accept me as his disciple, Shiyun will be grateful."

Upon hearing this, Master Zhang looked at Song Shiyun with some surprise.

I don’t quite understand why Song Shiyun is willing?
With Song Shiyun's ability, if he practices well, he will soon surpass him.

Why do you need to be his apprentice?

After all, he really had nothing to teach Song Shiyun.

When the emperor heard this, he followed Song Shiyun's words and said, "Now that the second lady has agreed, is there anything else that the real person has trouble with?"

Upon hearing this, Master Zhang looked at Song Shiyun.

Although I don’t know why Song Shiyun is willing.

But he still agreed, "It is an honor for me to have the second young lady as my personal disciple. Thank you Your Majesty for this."

The emperor smiled and said: "In that case, I will be a witness today. From now on, Miss Song Er will be Zhenren Zhang's apprentice. From tomorrow on, she will go to the Tiansi Bureau to report."

Song Shiyun put his hands in front of him and leaned forward to salute, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support. Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty—"

The emperor waved his hand, "Get up and meet your master first."

Hearing this, Song Shiyun bowed to Zhenren Zhang again, "Apprentice Song Shiyun, I have met the master, and the master is bowing to me from the disciple -"

It was quite natural for her to bow down.

Zhang Zhenren was ashamed and did not dare to accept it, and said quickly: "Second Miss, there is no need to be more polite. You and I are old acquaintances, there is no need to stick to vulgar etiquette."

After hearing this, Song Shiyun bowed before standing up and said, "Thank you, Master."

Seeing how well-behaved and strict she was, Zhang Zhenren felt a little uncomfortable.

He coughed and had no choice but to smile dryly and change the subject, "Your Majesty is here to select talents for the imperial court, but unexpectedly, I let you take advantage of the opportunity and accept a disciple first."

The emperor laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, the real person serves the imperial court, and the apprentice of the real person will naturally serve the imperial court."

Zhang Zhenren immediately said: "This is natural. Everyone in the Tiansi Bureau has always been loyal to His Majesty, and they have dedicated themselves to death."

The emperor waved his hand: "Hey, don't mention these anymore, just talk about it, why can't you just pass it?"

Zhang Zhenren did not dare to say anything more.

Seeing this, the emperor waved his hand to Song Shiyun and asked her to sit down first.

Song Shiyun and Song Siwen sat down together.

The emperor's interest in Song Shiyun seemed to have ended here, and he soon began to examine other people's knowledge.

For a moment, Sijun Hall became lively again.

Xie Rugu and Song Shiyun were sitting in the last row, and there were people in front of them, blocking their bodies.

Xie Rugu then whispered: "Second sister, do you want to go to Tiansi Bureau?"
