The Emperor's Son-in-Law

Seeing that all the envoys from various countries came together to support Duan Chun's House of Flying Daggers.

The emperor also had a smile on his face.

This time Bei Xia came to Dakang to propose a competition. The purpose was to show their strength to the missions from various countries.

Let the diplomatic missions from various countries understand that whether it is a literary test, a military test or a cultural competition.

All can prove that Northern Xia is the orthodoxy in the world.

As a result, he was defeated by Duan Chun...

Now the statements of various countries’ missions are the best scoring criteria!

"Because of the competition tonight, all the envoys didn't sleep well."

"But fortunately, everyone has witnessed the wonderful ritual and music performance."

"Now the victory or defeat has been determined, and I am tired."

"Duan Chun listens to the order."

The emperor stood up, moved his body, and shouted casually.

"Wei Chen is here."

Duan Chun quickly clasped his fists and saluted.

"The Crown Prince Changguo performed very well today."

"I'm extremely satisfied."

"Duan Chun is hereby promoted to the rank of fifth-rank official."

"I will listen to it at any time."

"Each of the three musicians will be rewarded with ten taels of gold, and the musician will be rewarded with fifty taels of gold."

"The inner court will always listen to you from now on."

The emperor said loudly.

"Thank you Lord for your grace!"

Duan Chun quickly led Yue Luo and others to bow their heads and salute.

This time, he was promoted several levels in a row and became a Dianke Attendant in Honglu Temple.

Promoted directly to Menxia Province...

From the fifth grade official position.

Duan Chun understood that the fifth-rank official was nothing in Dakang Imperial City.

But as long as he wears the red official robe of the fifth rank, he is an official of the province.

Then you will be qualified to formally go to court and participate in the court meeting.

As for the official position of being a minister, as the name suggests, he is like the emperor's secretary.

Always obey the emperor's summons.

Liu Wendong now looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, standing there with his head hanging down.

He already understood in his heart that his plan to suppress Dakang through competition had failed.

If he couldn't borrow the food this time, he wouldn't know how to return home?

"His Majesty the Emperor Dakang, the foreign minister has one last matter."

Liu Wendong raised his head, cupped his fists and said seriously.

"Your Majesty, I have one thing that I haven't finished yet."

Duan Chun knew what he was going to do, and at the same time he cupped his fists and shouted loudly.

"You two...what else do you want?"

The emperor was just about to stand up when he was confused by the two voices.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten?"

"Before the competition just now, Wei Chen made a request."

"If Wei Chen wins, please give these three Northern Xia Le Ji to Wei Chen."

Duan Chun said loudly without hesitation.

It's not that he wanted the princess of Northern Xia who had a peerless appearance.

Such a beauty, to be honest, only one man in the world has seen her once.

Everyone is inevitably attracted by its beautiful appearance.

But Duan Chun knew her identity and avoided her, so how could he ask for trouble?

Now, he just wants to make this marriage dirty.

"His Majesty the Emperor Dakang..."

Liu Wendong was taking out another certificate of credence from his sleeve, but he didn't expect it.

Before the competition, he had not yet finished speaking, but this time he was overtaken by the Crown Prince of Changguo.

"You don't need to say anything."

"The three competitions have ended."

"I have fully understood the thoughts of the Northern Xia Mission."

"Don't you just want to borrow food? I promise to lend you one hundred thousand shi of food."

"I'll give you three years to return it."

"There is no need to mention other things."

The emperor waved his long sleeves, interrupting Liu Wendong's words.

With one hundred thousand shi of grain, Bei Xia actually dared to come to Dakang and ask to borrow grain!

The two countries have never had friendly relations to begin with, and they have always seen each other with weapons on the border.

This time, Bei Xia came to borrow food just to take advantage.

All he wanted was to find out information about Dakang's situation.

The emperor didn't bother to pay attention to them.

"The Northern Xia envoys are all tired now."

"Yuwen Aiqing, please lead the Honglu Temple officials to escort the ministers of the mission back to rest."

"Shang Shu ordered Yan Aiqing, for the grain needed by the Northern Xia mission, you can send officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to sign a grain loan deed."

"Then just deliver the food to them."

The emperor said calmly.

"I obey the order."

Yan Ziqiu and Yu Wenxi clasped their fists together and said.

Yu Wenxi winked, and a group of Honglu Temple officials immediately stepped forward.

Regardless of what Liu Wendong wanted to say, he took him and left forcefully.

"Duan Chun, do you really want those three Le Ji?"

The emperor looked at Duan Chun with a smile, a sly smile in his eyes.

Duan Chun suddenly understood.

His Majesty the Emperor has long understood the intentions of the Northern Xia Mission.

There was no intention of giving them a chance to submit a second letter of credence.

I was excited just now...

"Wei Chen..."

Duan Chun was thinking about how to take back his conditions.

The emperor spoke again.

"Since you want three Northern Xia Lexies so much."

"Then I will grant your wish."

"Pass an order to send these three Le Ji to the Changguo Duke's Mansion."

"Leave it to Mrs. Chang Guo to discipline her."

"Until...after the Crown Prince Changguo marries Princess Anshun."

"Let's decide their future later."

The emperor smiled lightly.

"ah……"

Duan Chun opened his mouth wide...

He suddenly realized that His Majesty knew nothing.

I was just a chess piece that His Majesty had planned long ago.

He gave him three music girls from Beixia, but asked A Niang to discipline him.

The meaning was obvious...

"Don't you accept the order?"

The emperor shouted.

"Your humble servant accepts the order."

Duan Chun had to clasp his fists and say.

"That's enough. I'm tired tonight."

"My dear ministers, go back and rest early."

The emperor turned around and took the queen and the two concubines away.

"Farewell, Your Majesty!"

"Farewell, Queen."

"Farewell, the two concubines."

The ministers cheered and the palace banquet ended.

Only a group of eunuchs stayed beside the three music girls.

In addition, hundreds of beautiful women from Beixia had left Jing'an Palace under the guidance of officials from the corresponding departments.

They went to the Inner Court Department for review and training as gifts.

My father Duan Ning and the two dukes strode to Duan Chun.

"Chun'er, why do you want those three Beixia women?"

"His Majesty just granted you a marriage tonight, and this is the princess marrying off."

"How dare you make such a request?"

Duan Ning asked in confusion.

"Old Duan, you are completely unaware of the inside story."

"Duan Chun, didn't you reject His Majesty's wishes in the inner court behind Jing'an Palace?"

"Why did you take the initiative to ask for a reward?"

"His Majesty has already made a decision, and is only waiting for the Beixia envoy to bring out the letter of credence."

"Just throw Lao Wei's son out to take the blame, which can not only satisfy Lao Wei's desire for a princess daughter-in-law."

"And it can solve the trouble for Princess Liyang."

"Why are you doing this?"

Li Que asked curiously.

"You look very smart, kid."

"But why are you so inconsistent in doing things?"

Li Wenkai asked in confusion.

"What are you talking about?"

Duan Ning was completely confused.

"Father, you don't know."

"Among the three Beixia musicians, one seems to be the sixth princess of Beixia."

"She was brought here by the Beixia delegation this time, intending to form an alliance with Dakang."

Duan Chun looked back at the three musicians who were still sitting there quietly and said.

"The sixth princess of Beixia?"

"Marrying Dakang..."

Duan Ning's eyes widened.
