The Emperor's Son-in-Law

Duan Chun smiled bitterly in his heart. When he traveled to this world, what he was most worried about was the unrest in the government.

However, the current Dakang Empire is in a situation where six sons are competing for the title of heir!

It seems that there will never be less trouble in the Dakang Dynasty in the future.

He must quickly find a way to establish his position in the Dakang Dynasty.

Just because although my father has a distinguished status, His Majesty will not be able to protect him if something big happens.

The Duan family is composed of the father and mother, the mother-in-law and the young girl.

He was probably the founder of the country who was destroyed the fastest, no one!

Fortunately, His Majesty is now rich and powerful, and he still has at least ten years to prepare secretly.

Because of Duan Chun's title and status, this palace banquet was not a court meeting.

Therefore, instead of dividing positions according to official positions, he was able to stand under the fifth prince, King Shu.

There were three princes and princes who were also wearing crimson robes.

Opposite, the second prince, King Wei, was headed. Behind the three princes were a group of young men in crimson robes.

He is not much older than Duan Chun.

As for the elders of the Dukes who have not shown up yet, they should have entered the Jing'an Palace with His Majesty.

What Duan Chun is now very curious about is a young boy standing opposite with his head lowered.

It is also the robe token and seal ribbon of the prince.

Judging from his age, he seems to be a year or two younger than himself.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, the person opposite is..."

Duan Chun couldn't help but asked softly out of curiosity.

"Oh, that is Duke Ping's newly established heir apparent."

"I have always wanted to marry my sister, Princess Liyang."

The King of Shu replied disdainfully.

It seems that he has no good impression of this Prince Pingguo.

"Ah, he is the prince of Pingguo?"

Duan Chun couldn't help but look at it curiously.

This kid, with fair skin, stood there honestly with his head lowered.

Duan Chun discovered that although this boy lowered his head, his eyes were moving around.

This is not the honest look he appears on the surface.

There must be a lot on my mind...

Duan Chun remembered Princess Liyang's confession that she would never marry the prince of Pingguo.

Perhaps, Princess Liyang had already known this guy secretly.

After I finish my own business in the past two days, I will explore this guy's background.

Duan Chun was thinking about how to stop Bei Xia's conspiracy.

On one side of the high platform, two rows of chamberlains and guards walked out of the passageway of the apse.

Li Gaofu strode to the center of the hall with his whisk whisk sideways.

"His Majesty the Emperor of Dakang is here."

"All the ministers are honored!"

With a wave of his whisk, everyone in the hall fell to their knees.

This is in accordance with the Dakang etiquette and on the occasion of a major state banquet.

Everyone must kneel down and salute.

In normal times, whether it is a large court meeting or a small court meeting.

Even when meeting the emperor in private, the ministers did not need to kneel down, they only had to clasp their fists and salute.

Everyone put their foreheads to the ground and shouted, "Long live the emperor."

Along with the sound of drums, several princes in royal robes led the way.

His Majesty the Emperor was wearing a luxurious Xuanlong robe, and was accompanied by the empress with a phoenix crown and a garland of flowers.

There were two concubines following behind.

All the way to the high platform.

Only four princes came today, except for the three princes Duan Chun had met in the backyard.

There was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Prince Pingguo.

Standing under the steps on both sides of the emperor's throne.

The emperor stood in front of the dragon throne, smiling and waving his sleeves.

After everyone shouted long live, they stood up one by one.

"I am holding a state banquet today."

"The first is to welcome the Northern Xia envoys to my Dakang Imperial Capital."

"Let the two countries have peace on their borders and there will be no resumption of war."

"It is also to inform God and pray that God can bless the people of my three counties to rebuild their homes as soon as possible."

The emperor said loudly with a smile.

"My Emperor is merciful!"

The ministers bowed and cheered again.

"My dear friends, please excuse me and please sit down."

"Gao Fu, summoned the Northern Xia envoy to appear."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and sat on the dragon throne.

Duan Chun then sat on the couch with the princes and ministers.

I was still thinking urgently in my heart, how to avoid Bei Xia's conspiracy?

The situation in the Dakang Dynasty is already chaotic enough now, with the six princes fighting each other.

If something happens again in the inner palace, the sky will really fall!

Now he has understood Bei Xia's plot, which is to take advantage of the opportunity for the six princes of Dakang to seize the throne.

Add more fire to the palace!

"The Xuanbei Xia envoy is here to see you."

Li Gaofu shouted at the top of his voice.

As the shouts of calling continued to sound, three officials from the Northern Xia Mission were soon seen striding towards them.

The Northern Xia envoy in the middle holds a scepter.

The envoys on both sides were all holding wooden trays, and one wooden tray held the credential of Northern Xia.

On the other wooden plate was the list of gifts brought by the Northern Xia mission.

"Liu Wendong, Foreign Minister of Great Xia, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Dakang."

"I wish His Majesty the Emperor Dakang good health and success in national affairs."

The envoy in the middle bowed his head and saluted calmly.

"Without courtesy, I will give you a seat."

The emperor nodded, and the three chamberlains carried the couch and placed it behind the envoy.

The three envoys were sitting in the center of the hall.

"This time the Northern Xia delegation came to Dakang."

"I heard that His Majesty the Emperor of Northern Xia wants to borrow 100,000 shi from Dakang."

"I wonder if this is the case?"

the emperor asked.

"It's true."

"In my country, Daxia, we suffered from droughts last year and this year."

"It happened that the northern barbarians invaded the northern border in the winter of last year."

"The war broke out again, the military rations were consumed greatly, and the disaster areas could not be taken care of."

"As a last resort, His Majesty the Emperor had to ask His Majesty the Emperor of Dakang for help."

Liu Wendong bowed his head and said.

"But I heard that the Emperor of Beixia wrote in his letter."

"It is written that if I refuse to lend food, the Beixia army will attack."

"I wonder if this is true?"

The emperor asked coldly.

Duan Chun laughed in his heart when he heard this. This emperor is indeed a son of heaven on horseback.

The speed of using courtesy first and then force is really too fast.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Dakang, what you have heard are all rumors."

"This time, the foreign ministers brought the letter of credence in accordance with the order of His Majesty, the Emperor of Daxia."

"What is written on it is the wish of His Majesty, the Emperor of Daxia."

"And this time, our Daxia Empire presented His Majesty, the Emperor of Dakang, with countless gold and treasures."

"And one hundred Daxia beauties."

"This represents the determination of the Daxia Empire to hope for peace on the border."

Liu Wendong said with a fist.

The two envoys beside him stood up together and dragged the wooden tray forward.

"Okay, I would like to see it."

"What exactly is written in the letter of credence from the Emperor of Beixia?"

The emperor smiled slightly.

Li Gaofu hurried forward, took the letter of credence and the gift list on the wooden tray and turned to the high platform.

Duan Chun sat there, his heart beating faster unconsciously.

He could guess that the letter of credence from Daxia must have the conditions for the marriage of the Princess of Daxia and Dakang.

What about the army approaching the border and forcibly borrowing grain? It is probably just a rumor they spread in advance.

The emperor took the letter, opened it and read it curiously.

As he read, the emperor suddenly raised his head and looked at the Northern Xia envoy in surprise...
