Su Song's mind was buzzing until he got home, and his mood never calmed down for a long time.

He never imagined that at the age of sixty-five, he would meet an emperor who treated him with great respect and favor!

And this Your Majesty is only eleven years old!

Recalling the details of the royal palace, Su Song felt even more excited.

His family members were all surrounding him, but he didn't even realize it.

It wasn't until his wife Xin called the officials several times that he finally came back to his senses.

"How about the duel before the emperor?" asked Xin.

Su Song said with gratitude: "The Emperor, the Ming Dynasty, has met with the old ministers and wants to use me as a minister of the Kaifeng Mansion!"

"Kaifeng Mansion?" Su Song's second son Su Jia, who was waiting in Beijing, became confused: "Sir, I heard that the current Kaifeng Mansion is Cai Yuanchang... Could it be that the officials want to remove Cai Yuanchang?"

"It's not like that..." Su Jia was still very concerned about government affairs.

So he knew that Cai Jing was now favored by the Holy Spirit.

Moreover, Cai Jing did a very good job in Kaifeng Mansion!

Not only did the emperor like him, but I heard that even the ministers in the court also admired him, especially the left prime minister Han Jiang, who praised him endlessly. He also praised Cai Jing in front of the two palaces many times, saying that he would definitely become a pillar of the country in the future!

"It can't be Kaifeng Mansion!" Su Song also knew this: "It should probably be the official affairs of the counties and towns in the government boundary!"

This was the position he held from the eighth year of Jiayou's reign to the second year of Zhiping.

Now he has come full circle and has taken up this official position again.

Even Su Song himself felt a little embarrassed.

"But... Your Excellency is already a minister waiting to be appointed... Will this..."

Su Song laughed: "I can see the emperor's official affairs at least once every five days..."

"Every minister waiting to be appointed in the world will rush to do it!"

In the Song Dynasty, the decision of whether an official position was generous or not was always linked to the distance from the emperor.

While the father and son were talking, a servant came outside the door to announce: "Official, there is an official outside the door. He calls himself 'Junior, who came to Su Zhe after finishing school' and wants to see you!"

Su Song stood up immediately: "Zi You is here... please come quickly!"

Su Che's father, Su Xun, and Su Song were close friends.

The two had a close relationship. Therefore, after Su Xun's death, brothers Su Shi and Su Che also received a lot of care and guidance from Su Song.

In comparison, Su Song and Su Shi were closer.

In May, Su Shi came to Beijing and visited Su Song many times before leaving Beijing. He even came to Su Song's home to say goodbye.

Su Che has relatively few contacts, which is also related to Su Che's character.

His character is completely different from Su Shi's.

Su Shi is a carefree person who goes everywhere, loves to be lively, and likes to talk to people everywhere.

Su Che was much more calm and reserved, and only visited Su Song twice after entering Beijing.

Since I became the official of the banquet, I have never been here again.

He himself also wrote a letter explaining the situation - today is the emperor's scripture feast, the court's laws are here, I hope my uncle will forgive me!

Su Song understood this very well and even supported it very much.

This is the attitude a court minister should have!

However, Su Zhe suddenly came to visit today. What was the reason?

Su Song didn't quite understand.

But he knew it must be official business!

So, he ordered people to invite Su Zhe to his study.

Su Song met Su Che in the study.

As soon as Su Zhe met, he immediately bowed: "Junior, I have met my uncle!"

His father and Su Song were "good friends".

The two discussed religion as brothers. Naturally, Su Shi and Su Che were Su Song's nephews.

Su Song helped Su Che up and said, "You don't need to be polite..."

After the two sat down, Su Song asked: "Ziyou suddenly came to the door today. I don't know why?"

Su Che cupped his hands and said: "My nephew heard that my uncle is going to the palace today to see your majesty. The emperor wants to use him..."

"My nephew thought about his uncle's teachings in the past, so he came to my uncle's house to give his uncle some imperial poems and words that the emperor had given to my nephew in the past..."

"Perhaps, I can help my uncle..."

As he spoke, he took out from his arms those imperial poems that the emperor had written at the sutra banquet and were later given to him.

This is exactly the advantage of Jingyan officials.

Not only did they have a close relationship with the emperor, they could also come into contact with the emperor's poems and articles, and learn about the emperor's aspirations and thoughts from the words.

And they will not disclose these things easily to the outside world.

On the one hand, the risk is very high, and on the other hand, this is a secret belonging to the officials of the banquet.

Su Song immediately shook his head and said, "Zi Yu has good intentions, I understand it!"

"It's just that speculating on the Sacred Heart is not what I do!"

He is not the kind of person who knows how to work hard. What's more, today the imperial official personally expressed the late emperor's evaluation of him.

Even if it was just for those few words of the late emperor, he, Su Song, would never do such a thing!

Su Che was greatly impressed by Su Song's appearance!

Others might not only want the emperor's writings, but also want to know the stories of the emperor's sutra banquet.

So, Su Zhe stood up and paid his respects: "My uncle is a noble man, and my nephew admires him. He is willing to follow my uncle's example!"

If you were an ordinary person, you might just talk about it.

But Su Zhe will definitely do what he said.

Su Song knew this.

Just like what happened today, Su Che would actually only do this to him.

No one else could allow him to break his principles (except Su Shi).

So, he helped Su Che up and said: "Ziyou doesn't need to imitate me! Ziyou should have his own way!"

"Just like words..." Su Song said earnestly: "It's my father, it's my brother, it's my father, it's my brother..."

“The traces of Ziyou’s poetry are too heavy!”

Su Zhe listened and thanked him: "My uncle's teachings, my nephew will keep them in mind...but...it's hard to correct the habits accumulated over the years!"

His father Su Xun and his elder brother Su Shi.

Being too close to him will have a great influence on him!

Especially his brother Su Shi's bold writing style made him always want to imitate and follow him involuntarily.

However, he could never learn from Su Shi's boldness and uninhibitedness.

For Su Che, he felt that he would have to be fifty or sixty years old before he could find his own way.

Su Song also knew it, so he nodded, then turned and walked to the corner of the study room and picked up a book of poems.

"These are some articles that Ouyang Wenzhonggong gave to me in the past. Many of them have never been made public..."

"Take it back, Ziyou, so you can take a closer look... maybe it will be helpful!"

Su Zhe took it solemnly, bowed and thanked him again: "Uncle, I can't repay you for your great kindness!"

Su Song laughed: "Write your article well!"

"In the future, if I can read Ziyou's good articles and feel comforted, Ziyou can also comfort Mingyun!"

Hearing Su Song mention his late father, Su Che lowered his head and said, "My nephew will live up to my uncle's high expectations!"

Can write an article that will be passed down through the ages.

This was his father's hope for their brothers when he was dying, and it was also one of his life goals.

Now, the eldest brother’s article has been confirmed to be passed down through the ages!

And he is still exploring and pursuing.

On the contrary, he seemed to have a smoother career than his elder brother Su Shi.

Thinking of Su Shi, Su Che couldn't help but feel nostalgic.

Although Su Shi just wrote back a few days ago, recommending several newly invented dishes to him, and also sent him a bunch of dried fish - Ziyou, Ziyou, believe me, it's delicious!
