My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 432 Little Fatty Crown Prince: Zeng Anmin is my wife from humble beginnings...

"Emperor Jianhong..."

Master Xu murmured the name softly.

Emperor Jianhong was someone he watched grow up.

In his eyes, Emperor Jianhong had always been a doormat, doing whatever he was told.

I have never doubted what I say.

However, since his last trip to the west, his opinion of Emperor Jianhong has completely changed.

"hehe."

A smile appeared on Master Xu's face, but his eyes contained a fierce, cold glint.
"It seems that I will have to re-evaluate him and consider him an opponent."

Zeng Anmin felt somewhat uncomfortable looking at the sinister expression on Xu Tianshi's face.

"What about Emperor Jianhong..."

Zeng Anmin hesitated for a moment, then looked at Master Xu and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

A sinister smile slowly crept onto Master Xu's lips.

He looked up at Zeng Anmin and said, "Since Emperor Jianhong is courting death, then I will send him on his way."

"what?"

Zeng Anmin's expression became extremely interesting.

"Alright." Master Xu glanced at Zeng Anmin and waved his hand dismissively: "Don't pretend in front of me."

"Your purpose in coming to see me today is simply to put me in a completely opposing position with Emperor Jianhong, isn't it?"

Zeng Anmin's expression stiffened slightly.

"And..." Master Xu slowly raised his head to look at the palace: "Ten days from now, the Array Scholar Conference may need to be rescheduled."

Before Zeng Anmin could respond, he spoke again:

"Guess what rank Emperor Jianhong's cultivation level is?"

"what?"

Zeng Anmin's face froze, and his pupils suddenly contracted!
"Heh." Master Xu sneered, looking at Zeng Anmin's face: "If he has no cultivation, what use would he have for the Xi Huang Diagram?"

"His martial arts cultivation is definitely no lower than the fourth rank."

“With the national fortune transferred from me and added to him, along with the divine weapon Dragon Slayer Blade and the Xi Huang Diagram from the founding emperor of the Holy Dynasty, his combat strength should be on par with mine.”

He looked at Zeng Anmin calmly and said;

"Therefore, Wang Dong is entrusted to you. You have the skill of transforming into a dragon, and you also have a third-rank martial artist to assist you. You don't need to be able to defeat him, just hold him off for a quarter of an hour."

"After I finish dealing with Emperor Jianhong, I will go and help you kill Wang Dong."

"At that time, wherever you wish to go, I will grant your request."

Zeng Anmin looked at Master Xu's face.

He nodded: "I will follow the Celestial Master's arrangements."

"Well, let's go."

"Junior, please take your leave."

…………

"Alright, I'll head back now."

Zeng Anmin waved his hand and smiled as he bid farewell to the disciples who saw him off at the entrance of the Xuanzhen Division.

“Pada~”

The gates of the Xuanzhen Division were closed.

Zeng Anmin walked outwards.

The smile vanished as Xuanzhensi turned his back on him.

"Tap, tap, tap~"

Zeng Anmin's footsteps were very noticeable in the quiet night.

He recalled Master Xu's reaction in the meditation room.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the full moon.

A slight smile curved her lips.

"Emperor Jianhong's realm is probably not just a mere fourth rank."

"It must be at least a third-rank official."

“I fought Ji Qing and saw Xiang Wangxian’s corpse. The wounds on that corpse were completely different from those in Ji Qing’s methods.”

"Therefore, the one who killed Xiang Wang was someone else."

Who could this person be?

Zeng Anmin could not think of anyone other than Emperor Jianhong himself.

"The level of skill required to kill Xiang Wangxian, a fourth-rank expert, silently is definitely not just that of a fourth-rank expert."

This is information that Zeng Anmin did not tell Xu Tianshi.

"I hope the Celestial Master won't blame me then."

Zeng Anmin shrugged, a strange smile on his face.

…………

Nanshan!

The place was already bustling with people.

Countless martial arts practitioners from outside the capital gathered together with locals.

"Dean Shi!"

Zeng Anmin, dressed in official robes, arrived here with a smile and his family in tow.

"Now that we are discussing the Dao with the Commander of the Formation, do your students have confidence?"

When Dean Shi saw Zeng Anmin, a smile appeared on his face, a touch of kindness shining through his aged features:
"If it's a matter between the younger generation, ask the younger generation. I don't care about that."

"Hehe, you seem to have a very relaxed attitude."

Zeng Anmin praised him, saying, "I have some other matters to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer."

"Go."

…………

"Aunt, cousin, you may stay here for the time being."

Zeng Anmin looked at Zeng Rongyu and said, "At this conference, I need to lead people to maintain order on site. At that time, I will also need my cousin to protect the people in the mansion and the Qin family."

"Don't worry about this."

Zeng Rongyu nodded and said with a smile:

"At this Confucianism Conference, Hu Zi will also take the stage to discuss the Dao with the students of Qilin Academy. I will bring my family with me."

"it is good."

There are many residents in the Nanshan area, and there is also a huge Taoist temple on the mountain.

Taking advantage of his position, Zeng Anmin was naturally able to arrange for his family to be settled here.

"Sister Rongyu".

A familiar voice sounded.

Zeng Anmin was slightly taken aback.

Turning around, I saw Qin Wanyue leading people from the Qin family into the Taoist temple.

"Wan'er."

Zeng Anmin greeted him with a smile.

Qin Wanyue winked at him gently, then walked towards Zeng Rongyu.

Where is Uncle Qin?

Zeng Anmin looked around and asked.

"My father, as the Minister of Revenue, naturally came with all the officials and the Crown Prince."

"oh oh."

The thought of the chubby prince presiding over all the officials made Zeng Anmin inexplicably want to laugh.

"You two can continue chatting here; I'll be leaving now."

Zeng Anmin waved to the crowd and walked away.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate, Lou Tong came from outside:

"Boss."

"Brother Lou, there's no need for that. We have no official business to attend to right now."

Zeng Anmin waved his hand, glanced at the people behind Lou Tong, and paused slightly in surprise:
"these people……"

"Oh, my mother heard that I, as the representative of Qilin Academy, was going to discuss the Dao with the little immortal of Xuanzhen Division, so she brought all the people from the manor here."

Lou Tong blushed deeply.

Zeng Anmin nodded with a smile and cupped his hands in greeting to the people behind him:
"I have met Aunt Lou."

"No need for formalities, good child."

Lou Li's smile was brighter than anyone else's when she saw Zeng Anmin. Supported by her servants, she came to Zeng Anmin's side and gently patted his hand.
"In the future, I will need your help in my son's career."

"It's what a junior should do."

Zeng Anmin nodded quickly, then said to her:
"Auntie, please come in. Your accommodations have been arranged by the chief."

"Walk."

Zeng Anmin patted Lou Tong on the shoulder.

"where to?"

"Go and meet the future emperor."

Zeng Anmin had a smile on his face.

Uh.

He's the crown prince, isn't he?

Lou Tong's face was quite interesting.

However, Zeng Anmin's statement is not entirely wrong.

Emperor Jianhong's harem remained very stable.

Two years ago, the fourth prince and Li Jian rebelled, leaving only the crown prince as the current legitimate heir of the royal family.

With Emperor Jianhong passing away, it is only natural for the Crown Prince to ascend the throne.

"it is good."

…………

"Your Highness, Nanshan is just ahead."

Under the foot of the mountain.

The chubby prince sat calmly on the carriage, dressed in a princely dragon robe.

Upon hearing Si Zhongxiao's voice, he raised his eyelids, looked up at the mountain, and gently beckoned with his finger:

"Go up the mountain."

"Yes." Si Zhongxiao accepted the order, then looked at the assembled officials behind him: "The Crown Prince has summoned us to the mountain!"

"Get up the sedan!!"

The officials slowly followed the crown prince's imperial carriage up the mountain.

"Imperial Physician Wang, how is His Majesty's health now?"

Sitting on the dragon-drawn carriage, the chubby prince looked at an old man accompanying him.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has not summoned any members of the Imperial Medical Academy these past two days."

The royal physician responded respectfully to the crown prince.

"Who did Father see?"

The chubby prince frowned slightly and glanced indifferently at Si Zhongxiao.

Si Zhongxiao straightened up slightly:

"His Majesty summoned Princess Ning'an two days ago."

"Ning An?"

The image of his silly little sister flashed into the little fat prince's mind.

My body trembled slightly involuntarily.

He had been bullied by Ning An a lot since he was a child.

Sometimes, even suing the emperor is useless.

Who couldn't see Emperor Jianhong's extreme favoritism and protection of Ning'an?

"If it weren't for the fact that she is a woman, who knows who would have spread the rumor that the Emperor wanted to make her the Crown Prince."

The chubby prince mumbled something indistinctly.

"And this time, Father Emperor refused to see anyone else, but summoned Ning'an the only one."

"What does 'favoritism' mean?"

"I wonder what kind of magic Ning An possesses that makes Father Emperor favor her so much?"

The chubby prince stared blankly southward.

"The Jiang Kingdom is currently ruled by an empress, Father Emperor will not..."

Thinking of this, the chubby prince became even more confused.

He felt it was unlikely.

After all, I'm still alive.

Moreover, the maternal relatives of the empress dowager were fully supporting him.

He felt that it would be difficult for him not to sit on the throne, even if he didn't want to.

Lost in thought, Si Zhongxiao's voice came:

"Your Highness, we have arrived."

"Ah."

The chubby prince was interrupted by Si Zhongxiao's voice and slowly looked up into the distance.

At the top of Nanshan Mountain is a huge square.

There is a huge platform in this square.

It is called the Star Observatory.

It was established by Master Xu after he founded the Xuanzhen Division.

And this huge square was also built back then.

The mountain is rugged, but the summit is as if it has been cut away by human hands, revealing a huge flat area, which looks like a trapezoid from a distance.

In fact, this huge, flat mountaintop was indeed carved away by human hands.

The person who made the move was none other than the founding emperor of the Holy Dynasty.

It was Xu Tianshi who made the suggestion.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

After the chubby boy got off the dragon carriage.

These were numerous respectful voices.

"Your Highness Chitose!"

"Excuse me."

The chubby boy nodded, and then, under Si Zhongxiao's arrangement, entered the huge square.

The place where the royal family sat was always high up, or the closest place to the huge platform in the square.

Further on were the positions of the officials.

As for those martial arts practitioners and ordinary people... they have no seats.

They could only sit on the ground.

"When does it begin?"

The chubby prince looked at Si Zhongxiao and asked.

"Your Highness, in one hour."

Si Zhongxiao glanced at the students sitting in the seats, as well as the people from the Xuanzhen Division.

"Ok."

……

"I heard that these people from Qilin Academy are very confident about this conference?"

On the seat of the Xuanzhen Division.

Liu Shishi raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the students of Qilin Academy opposite her.

Sai Chuxue was sitting next to her.

At this moment, Sai Chuxue was curiously peeking around, nodding casually at her words:
"Maybe."

"Heh." Liu Shishi chuckled lightly, a proud look on her face:

"Let alone these students, even if Dean Shi himself came, I am confident that I could have a discussion with him."

"incredible."

Sai Chuxue continued to look around, giving her a perfunctory response.

Liu Shishi's lips twitched, and she glared at Sai Chuxue:
"Stop looking. Your Zeng husband is busy maintaining order at this conference and doesn't have time to come and see you."

“I don’t need him to see me; it’s enough that I can see him.”

When Liu Shishi exposed Sai Chuxue's thoughts, her face flushed slightly, and she answered softly.

……

Liu Shishi took a deep breath and glanced at Sai Chuxue indifferently:

"You're exactly what Zeng Anmin called a 'love-obsessed' person."

"Love..." Sai Chuxue smiled when she heard this.
"As expected of Zeng Lang, even his names for love-related names are so beautiful and vivid."

have to.

Hopeless.

Liu Shishi was utterly speechless.

……

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zeng Anmin led Lou Tong to the Crown Prince's seat to report back.

Upon seeing Zeng Anmin, the chubby prince's gloom vanished, replaced by a radiant smile.
"Brother Quanfu... cough cough."

Upon hearing these three words, all the officials simultaneously looked up and stared intently at the chubby boy.

The chubby boy blushed, then deliberately put on a stern face and looked at Zeng Anmin:
"Power Advisor!"

"The minister is here."

Zeng Anmin chuckled softly, but his face turned serious.

"I'm entrusting the safety and order of Nan'an to you these next few days."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zeng Anmin slowly raised his head, looked at the Crown Prince, and raised an eyebrow slightly at him:
"I will certainly live up to Your Highness's trust."

"How dare you!" Si Zhongxiao's face turned cold as he saw Zeng Anmin's underhanded actions.

“Zeng Ti looked directly at Your Highness, which was disrespectful before the Emperor.”

Zeng Anmin's face turned innocent.

"Speak up!"

The Crown Prince glared at Si Zhongxiao: "Does my business require your interference?"

"What? You want to teach me how to get along with my subjects? Why don't you take this seat?"

Uh.

Si Zhongxiao's face turned somewhat green.

He knew that the Crown Prince and Zeng Anmin had a good relationship.

But I didn't expect it to get this good.

"This servant is being nosy."

Si Zhongxiao dared not speak again.

"Humph!"

The chubby prince snorted coldly.

Then, looking at Zeng Anmin, his expression immediately softened:

"Go ahead, and once you've established order, come and sit beside me."

"The minister obeys the order."

Zeng Anmin bowed and nodded.

They took away the dazed Lou Tong who was standing to the side.

After leaving the venue.

Zeng Anmin glanced at Lou Tong: "What are you daydreaming about?"

Lou Tong finally came to his senses and looked at the Crown Prince in the distance in disbelief, until he saw that the Crown Prince was still looking in this direction with great eagerness.

He stared stiffly at Zeng Anmin: "Your Highness and my virtuous brother's relationship... is a bit too..."

He didn't know how to describe it.

"You do not understand."

Zeng Anmin smiled gently.

“In his eyes, I should belong to the category of wives and children…”

"Pooh!"

Zeng Anmin felt that he was almost unable to describe it anymore.
