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

Chapter 83 The prince personally welcomes [4k large chapter, please order first]

It was a city wall that had stood for nearly a thousand years.

When Zeng Anmin's eyes fell on the city, there was light in them.

He seemed to see the constant touching and passing of time from the majestic city before him.

Each huge blue brick consumed countless manpower and material resources, but was built bit by bit with its flesh and blood.

It stands here, fighting against time for thousands of years.

As time goes by, it still stands taller than anything else.

It took nearly two months.

From early spring, to the sunny and comfortable day.

This long dragon-like procession of carriages finally arrived at their destination.

Zeng Anmin pulled the reins of his horse and stopped at the foot of the city.

During this period, the relationship between Zeng Anmin and Qin Wanyue was gradually improving.

Of course, we are just friends and there is no overstepping of authority.

Zeng Anmin felt that he was still young, not even eighteen years old, and was at the age of struggle. How could he give up the entire fish pond just for a fish?
"Stop the car for inspection."

The diligent guards at the city gate did not know that the owner of the team of carriages they were checking was the current Minister of War.

But they are not blind. They know that the people of such a large carriage convoy are either extremely wealthy or high-ranking officials.

They can't afford to offend any of them.

So soon, the carriage entered the city.

Zeng Anmin rode a horse and led the convoy.

His eyes scanned the surroundings.

A gust of Beijing flavor hits your nose.

The people in the capital, even the common people, have a different kind of confidence on their faces than the people in Liangjiang County.

Zeng Anmin could clearly feel the bargaining passion of the street vendors.

He was yelling at people in a proper Beijing accent.

Zeng Anmin was riding a horse, wearing a green robe. As the horse swayed, a strand of hair on his forehead moved in the wind.

It attracted many shy glances from girls on the street.

He didn't care much, he just led Ma Jiang, opened the curtain of the carriage and asked:

"Dad, we're already in the city, how do we get out?"

"Enter the inner city."

Only three words came from the carriage.

"profound."

There are not many teams like Zeng Anmin's.

So naturally, there were many curious looks along the way.

The convoy traveled for a long time.

Finally, before dark, we stopped in front of a mansion.

???

Zeng Anmin looked at the extremely luxurious mansion in front of him.

There was a look of confusion in his eyes.

Above the mansion, there is a plaque with three large gold-plated characters.

【Book of History】

Under the reflection of the sunlight, it shines with golden light.

With just a cursory glance, he was able to roughly calculate the area of ​​the mansion.

It is more than twenty meters long from north to south and more than ten meters long from east to west.

A mansion with seven entrances.

If converted, it would be... more than 4,000 square meters? ?

hiss~
The Governor's Mansion of Liangjiang County is only over a thousand square meters!

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.

At this time, Dad also got off the carriage.

Zeng Shilin raised his head and stared at the three big characters "Shangshu Di" with an expressionless face.

"Enter the mansion."

He didn't say much, except that he felt more pressure on his shoulders, and there was no joy on his face.

…………

busy.

very busy.

But fortunately, Zeng Anmin doesn't have to be very busy.

He only needed to choose a courtyard to live in under the arrangement of his servants.

Yes, the yard.

Whether it is Dad, Aunt Lin, or Zeng Anmin, everyone has his own courtyard in the mansion, a complete system of servants, and various facilities.

Damn feudal society!
Silent all night.

When the sunlight shone on Zeng Anmin's face again, his eyelashes moved slightly.

open one's eyes.

"Huh~ What time is it?!"

Zeng Anmin quickly packed up his things, sat up from the bed, and shouted to the outside:

"Dachun, hurry up and prepare the horses, or we will be late for the check-in!!"

Having said that, he put on his clothes, and without even bothering to wash up, he pushed the door open and walked out.

"Squeak~"

The wooden door made a pleasant sound as it turned, and everything before me looked extremely unfamiliar.

Uh……

Zeng Anmin finally reacted.

Young master, it seems that I won’t have to report to Xuan Jingsi anymore from now on.

"Master, are you awake?"

When Dachun heard Zeng Anmin's voice, he ran in hurriedly from outside and just pushed the door.

"Click."

Zeng Anmin's eyelids twitched as he looked at the door frame that Dachun had pushed away...

"Uh... no... sorry, Master, I just broke through to the eighth level, and I can't control the strength well..."

Dachun's body, which was as big as a polar bear, looked like a child who had done something wrong in front of Zeng Anmin.

At this moment, he had a dry smile on his face.

"Hurry up and find someone to fix it."

Zeng Anmin glared at Dachun, then walked out, and paused as he stepped forward.

He looked at Dachun and asked, "Where's my dad?"

"The emperor has summoned you to the palace."

Dachun's voice was cautious.

He had just broken a door and was now afraid that the young master would ask him to pay for it.

He really can't afford to pay for it.

"Enter the palace?"

Zeng Anmin blinked.

What we usually hear is "In the government office."

To be honest, Zeng Anmin’s transformation into a father’s identity has not yet been complete.

"alright."

He stretched himself and washed up, thinking that since it was his first day in Beijing, he had to go out and take a look around the streets, right? ?

He specially picked out a showy and exquisite green shirt and pinned a folding fan to his waist.

With Dachun as a backdrop, the youthful and handsome look on his face became even more pronounced.

"Let's go shopping."

Feeling the strong fragrance in the mansion.

There was a sense of laziness coming from Zeng Anmin.

"That young master..." Dachun looked at Zeng Anmin nervously, and whispered after approaching:
"Your monthly allowance has not been paid yet."

What this means is, where is the money for shopping now?

It was obvious that Dachun was lacking confidence at this time.

"What are you afraid of? The young master has money!!"

Zeng Anmin grinned.

Before leaving Liangjiang County, he had already received four thousand taels of silver given by Shen Jun.

Forget shopping, what if you buy a shop?

"Ah?" Dachun looked at Zeng Anmin blankly.

"Tsk, you look so ignorant!"

Zeng Anmin looked at Dachun's silly expression and suddenly found it a little funny:
"Let's go. When we get to the street, don't save money for the young master. Just tell me what you want!"

"go!"

Dachun's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly followed the young master.

He looked at the strangers around the young master with vigilance, like a competent bodyguard.

However, the two of them had just reached the gate of the mansion.

Then I saw a carriage stop steadily at the door, making a "creak" sound.

After a while, a strange eunuch got off the carriage and walked towards this direction anxiously.

The young eunuch saw the two men and hurried forward to stop them. After bowing, he asked:
"Excuse me, is this the residence of Mr. Zeng?"

Zeng Anmin looked at the strange eunuch, frowned and nodded:
"Yes, but didn't my father enter the palace early in the morning?"

It was obvious that the eunuch was from the palace, so he naturally thought he was here to look for his father.

When the young eunuch heard Zeng Anmin's words, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He asked hurriedly, "Are you Zeng Liangjiang, Master Zeng Anmin?"

Zeng Liangjiang?
What the hell? ?
Zeng Anmin frowned tightly:

"Zeng Anmin is indeed me, but that Zeng Liangjiang..."

"Oh, it's really you! You don't know that ever since our prince heard your poem "Ode to the Two Rivers", he has been looking forward to your flying over from Liangjiang County all day long!"

Obviously, two months was enough for the fame of Zeng Anmin's "Fu on the Two Rivers" to spread to the capital.

The eunuch excitedly grabbed Zeng Anmin's hand.

Without saying anything, he pulled him towards the carriage.

"Stop, stop, stop! Eunuch, which prince are you talking about?"

Zeng Anmin quickly pulled his hand out of the eunuch's hand and looked at him with a puzzled look.

No, it's for no reason. Why should I go with you to see His Highness?

Uh……

When the young eunuch heard Zeng Anmin's words, he slapped his forehead:
"Look at my poor memory. I was so excited when I saw Zeng Liangjiang that I forgot to introduce myself."

After saying this, the young eunuch changed his lewd expression and became extremely serious.

Even a bit of majesty:

"In compliance with His Royal Highness's order, I ask the tutor Zeng Anmin to come to Qianyuan Palace to see me immediately. Please be respectful and do not be rude to him!"

After saying this, the young eunuch bowed respectfully, looked at Zeng Anmin with a smile and said:

"Zeng Liangjiang, please?"

The prince wants to see me?

"Uh."

Zeng Anmin looked around and found that no one was paying attention to this. He coughed lightly, looked at the young eunuch calmly and asked in a low voice:
"Eunuch, may I know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned me?"

"Haha, Zeng Liangjiang, don't be nervous. His Highness just loves your talent and wants to communicate with you. Just relax."

The young eunuch had a kind smile on his face and comforted Zeng Anmin softly.

"Oh~"

Zeng Anmin did not completely believe what the young eunuch said.

As soon as I arrived in Beijing, the prince summoned me to the Eastern Palace for an audience?
Poetry talent?

It's just that I write better poems, why would people value me so much?

Haven’t you seen that in his previous life, Li Bai was known as the Immortal Poet, but was not highly regarded by people in the palace.

I guess besides his talent for poetry, the prince should value his status as the son of a minister more? ?
Thinking of this, Zeng Anmin closed the folding fan in his hand with a "swish" sound.

Turning to Dachun, he said:

"You go back first, the young master has something important to do."

After saying that, he stepped lightly and got on the extremely luxurious carriage.

It's just a meeting, what are you afraid of?
It’s not a dangerous place.

……

Only Dachun watched the carriage go away, feeling wronged and looking forward to it...

Just as he was about to turn around and go back home, he saw a carriage stop in front of him.

"Please wait a moment, sir. May I ask whether Master Zeng Liangjiang is in the mansion?"

"My prince wants to invite him to the Qianqing Palace for a chat."

An old eunuch called Dachun with a smile.

And the boring old hand flipped lightly.

A silver ingot fell steadily into Dachun's hands.

Dachun subconsciously looked up at the old eunuch.

Feeling the weight of the silver in his hand, his face was extremely confused.

Whispered:
"Why is there another His Highness?"

"What?" Hearing his voice, the old eunuch's face changed slightly.

He quickly asked:

"Your Excellency means..."

"My young master was just invited away by a young eunuch, who said he was going to Qianyuan Palace..."

He didn't even finish his words.

Dachun saw the old eunuch turn around and walk straight towards the carriage.

"Hey!" Dachun saw that he was about to leave, and hurriedly chased after him:
"Don't go! Your money is in my hands!!"

"Your money..."

However, he could only watch the shadow of the carriage hurriedly moving further and further away.

Dachun looked a little annoyed:
"This old man is so pitiful."

No, next time I see this old man, I must return the silver to him!

…………

Imperial city, inside the palace.

Qianyuan Palace is where the crown prince lives, also known as the Eastern Palace.

In a quiet courtyard.

Two figures sat on the ground.

"Your Highness, the sun is shining brightly today. It's a good time to read."

The man in white had a handsome face and a gentle smile on his face. He slowly took out three incense sticks from his sleeves and gently inserted them into the incense burner on the table:

"It just so happened that my father made me a little gadget yesterday."

The man in white was about twenty years old, with a slightly rough face and abundant body hair, but he kept it very clean.

He looks like a modest gentleman.

His identity is Wang Qianzhi, the son of His Royal Highness King Beiti Duqi of the Imperial City Administration.

He is the prince's tutor.

The man in the loose-fitting shirt sitting opposite Wang Qianzhi saw the three incense sticks in his hand, and his eyes lit up slightly:
"But is it the incense that is said to help the mind clear and make reading as fast as a bamboo?"

The man in the loose shirt is slightly plump, with extremely clear eyes, and his eyes are mischievous and pretty.

He was wearing an apricot-yellow round-collared dragon robe and had a clean smile on his face.

His face is very round and he is a little fat.

And he is the current crown prince of the Holy Dynasty, Wang Yuanzhen.

“It is this fragrance.”

Wang Qianzhi still had a smile on his face. He took out a fire starter from his arms, blew it gently with his mouth, and began to light the incense stick.

As soon as the incense stick is lit, a cool breath that makes people want to take a deep breath comes to their nose.

In an instant, the whole courtyard was filled with this fragrance.

"You do have some ideas."

The fat prince praised.

But even with the fragrance by his side, he had no heart to read.

His eyes kept looking towards the gate of the yard.

Seems a little absent-minded.

Wang Qianzhi saw this scene, and said softly with a smile:
"Your Highness, are you waiting for Zeng Liangjiang?"

The fat prince sighed, "Fourth brother competes with me for everything, so I can't guarantee that he won't have any intentions this time."

Wang Qianzhi remained silent.

Obviously, he knew it was best not to get involved in this issue.

Each of them had a copy of "Yi Zi" in his hand. He read silently without saying much.

After a while, there was a noisy sound.

"Your Highness, Master Zeng is here."

A little eunuch's voice sounded.

The fat prince's eyes lit up slightly, and he stood up and hurried towards the courtyard gate.

Seeing this scene, Wang Qianzhi's eyes sank slightly.

Then he looked at the three incense sticks that were emitting green smoke.

A sneer slowly formed at the corner of his mouth.

……

"I have met your Highness."

Zeng Anmin has been traveling through time for a long time and has already learned most of the etiquette of this world.

He crossed his arms, bowed, then looked up at the prince curiously.

What comes into view is a funny little fat man.

Even though he was wearing a dragon robe, it still couldn't hide his... cuteness? ?

Seeing this scene, Zeng Anmin felt resentful in his heart.

If you looked like this... then I wouldn't be afraid of you.

He knew very well that one should not judge a book by its cover.

He still breathed a sigh of relief, even though the prince's clear-headed feeling was just an act.

It also feels more comfortable than those old Yin coins that look sinister.

"No need to be so polite, no need to be so polite, come on, please!"

When the chubby prince saw Zeng Anmin, he couldn't help but feel happy.

That was the joy of falling in love at first sight for men.

It was as if the man in front of him was the loyal minister he would need to rely on in the future! !

……

Under the guidance of the chubby prince, Zeng Anmin successfully entered the courtyard.

He was even a little flattered by the prince's enthusiasm.

After entering the yard, Zeng Anmin smelled a fresh fragrance before he even opened his mouth.

The breath brought a cool feeling, which instantly made him feel better after he was still a little sleepy.
