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

Chapter 226 Hu Zi: I want to see my uncle!

"The Saint has arrived!!"

Sure enough, as soon as everyone's eyes turned to the distance, a sharp voice rang out.

"Shh!"

Countless expectant eyes looked there.

A dragon sedan slowly moved in front of the Suzaku Gate.

"Beep, beep."

Following closely behind the dragon sedan were a thousand imperial guards, dressed in neat armor and exuding a murderous aura.

The leading general had a solemn brow, a sword at his waist, and rode on a horse covered with an iron frame, looking up proudly.

Those eyes were like a hawk, staring at everyone present.

The general's name was Wang Di.

He is the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards.

The realm of a warrior above the fourth rank.

And beside Wang Di.

A figure in red followed leisurely beside him.

The figure in red was white and beardless, but a hint of majesty flashed across his slightly dull face from time to time.

It feels quite abrupt.

He followed Wang Di at a leisurely pace, not seeming to be in a hurry, just strolling lazily, but his speed did not slow down at all.

He was Si Zhongxiao, the eunuch in charge of writing in the court.

As the dragon sedan stopped, the majesty on Si Zhongxiao's face disappeared instantly, revealing an extremely respectful expression, and he gently lifted the green silk umbrella cover of the dragon sedan.

"Your Majesty, please slow down."

Si Zhongxiao spoke softly, took Emperor Jianhong's wrist like a loyal dog, and carefully protected him as he slowly got off the dragon sedan chair.

Emperor Jianhong had a blank expression on his face at this time. After he got off the dragon sedan chair, he raised his head and glanced at the crowd of people in front of him.

"Your Majesty, please follow me."

Si Zhongxiao bent his body and led Emperor Jianhong forward.

"Ah."

Emperor Jianhong just nodded lightly and followed Si Zhongxiao forward.

Without any hesitation, the one thousand imperial guards instantly split into two teams. Under the leadership of Wang Di, they surrounded the front and firmly protected Emperor Jianhong between the teams.

"Wow!"

The people consciously made way for the crowd.

The personnel of the Imperial City Bureau, under the command of Bai Ziqing, maintained order at the scene in an orderly manner.

"This is the Emperor of our Great Saint Dynasty!"

"Yes, when your Majesty ascended the throne, I had the honor of seeing you from afar. Your Majesty was at the peak of his powers back then, but I never thought that after all these years, you would have gray hair."

"Time is unforgiving."

"........."

The crowd was full of people.

These people's discussions angered one person.

The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, Wang Di, glanced coldly at the people.

He gathered his strength, and there was a hint of cruelty in his voice:
"How dare you, a rude commoner, kneel down and pay homage to His Majesty when you see Him?!!"

There was a touch of shocking sound in the voice.

A visible wave of air suddenly spread out from his mouth towards the entire Suzaku Gate.

For a moment, the entire Suzaku Gate fell silent.

"No need, I am here just for fun today."

Emperor Jianhong was naturally attracted by his voice.

He glanced at Wang Di indifferently.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Wang Di bowed to Emperor Jianhong and respectfully followed behind him as he walked forward.

It's okay.

Emperor Jianhong came to the front seats.

"I have met your Majesty!"

With the arrival of Emperor Jianhong.

Those officials who had been sitting on their chairs early all stood up and saluted Emperor Jianhong.

"No gift."

Emperor Jianhong nodded slowly and waved his hand:

"Everyone, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All the officials stood up at once and looked respectfully at Emperor Jianhong. With the help of Si Zhongxiao, Emperor Jianhong sat on a chair and slowly looked towards the huge arena in front of him.

Only after Emperor Jianhong sat down did the rest of the people dare to slowly sit back in their chairs.

"I have met His Majesty."

A figure slowly walked towards us from a distance.

The figure looked old, and faint coughing sounds could be heard from time to time as he walked.

He came before Emperor Jianhong and saluted respectfully.

"Duke Ningguo, there is no need to be so polite."

Emperor Jianhong looked at Li Jian and smiled for the first time. He raised his hand and patted Li Jian gently, saying:
"Your Excellency has made such a big fuss about this imperial examination. I am quite curious, so I came to take a look. You are the protagonist today, so you don't have to bother me."

Li Jian quickly leaned over and smiled:
"Your Majesty is right, but in my opinion, Your Majesty is the master of the world. With Your Majesty here, how dare I say I am the protagonist?"

"hehe."

Emperor Jianhong did not say much, but just smiled and waved:

"Go ahead, my dear."

"Yes."

Duke Ningguo nodded seriously and then walked forward.

Look at his back.

Emperor Jianhong's eyes were filled with a hint of sadness.

An unknown gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then slowly disappeared.

"Your Majesty, please do not blame me. I am late."

A voice sounded, sounding a little shy.

Emperor Jianhong looked up curiously.

Then he saw the current Minister of War Zeng Shilin walking slowly towards his seat.

Behind him followed a beautiful woman with a restrained look on her face.

The beautiful woman was holding a child in her hand, and the child looked up at everyone in a daze.

"Why did you come at this time, Mr. Zeng?"

Emperor Jianhong chuckled and raised his eyebrows to look at Zeng Shilin.

"Since your majesty said that you can bring your family, you have brought two more."

Zeng Shilin also smiled:
"It's just that women are a bit slow and spend some time at home decorating the house."

Although he complained like this, Zeng Shilin did not show any sign of complaining.

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Emperor Jianhong looked at Aunt Lin with curiosity.

Aunt Lin was a little restrained. She turned aside and saluted to Emperor Jianhong:
"I have met His Majesty."

"Haha, I've heard for a long time that Mr. Zeng's family has a daughter named Lin, who is as beautiful as a fairy, and she is indeed extraordinary."

Emperor Jianhong just smiled faintly and waved his hand, saying, "Get up."

Then, his eyes rested on the child again.

"This child... could it be that he is the child of Mr. Zeng and Ms. Lin?"

Zeng Shilin's face froze, then he quickly smiled and shook his head:
"This child is the descendant of the loyal and good man whom I saved with all my efforts."

When Emperor Jianhong heard this, he looked thoughtful.

Then he looked surprised:

"Judging from his age, he should be the descendant of Earl Zhongyuan?"

"Your Majesty has a keen eye." Zeng Shilin had already led Aunt Lin and Hu Zi to sit down, and bowed to Emperor Jianhong and said:

"This boy is my cousin's grandson."

"Luckily I have you, my beloved Zeng. Otherwise, I would have killed the descendants of the loyal and righteous people by mistake."

Emperor Jianhong sighed deeply.

Zeng Shilin slowly shook his head: "It was the treacherous ministers of King Qi who deceived Your Majesty. This is not Your Majesty's fault."

"Ugh."

Emperor Jianhong glanced at Hu Zi's face again.

I don’t know if it was out of guilt or because I loved children, but I slowly stood up and walked in front of Hu Zi.

With a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand:
"Give me a hug."

"This..." A hint of hesitation flashed across Aunt Lin's face.

"Hug me...I want to see my uncle!!"

Hu Zi had no idea at all. When he heard this, his eyes lit up and he raised his hands, and was naturally held in the arms of Emperor Jianhong.

"My uncle is going to take the imperial examination today! I want to see him! Right there..."

Hu Zi's face was filled with excitement.

Because this seat is the highest seat in front of the Suzaku Gate.
