The Emperor's Son-in-Law

Even if my father is loyal to His Majesty.

It is inevitable that the suspicious His Majesty secretly sends people to watch him.

Nowadays, His Majesty's greatest wish is to unify the world.

He does not want to have an open conflict with the major families.

And the major families' requirements are also very simple. The world can be unified, but they must maintain their previous status.

They must also be guaranteed for the future.

This is an era of mutual compromise between the emperor and the family.

Such a situation is actually very common in the history of our country.

From the Han Dynasty to the Huang Chao Uprising in the Tang Dynasty, this is the same cooperation model.

The emperor and the family share the world.

So Duan Chun doesn't want to do anything extraordinary. He only wants to save his life after crossing over.

He can live a carefree life in the future.

He doesn't want to do anything dangerous.

"Gan has been idle for more than ten years."

"What the master has done in the farm these two days makes Gan very curious."

"Smelting new materials and making new equipment."

"Renovating workshops and building various things that have never been seen before."

"There are also two new workshops by the river and outside the valley, which make Gan more interested."

"Not long ago, Gan received a pigeon message from the farm."

"The master plans to breed rice seeds..."

"So Gan also wants to accompany the master to try and do his best for the master."

"I'm afraid that the master will have little time to come to the farm in the future, so it's better to leave the farm affairs to Gan."

"Let Gan take care of it for the master."

Gan Changyuan said.

"Uncle Gan, please get up quickly."

"If you just help the younger generation do these things."

"Uncle Gan doesn't need such a big gift."

Duan Chun smiled and reached out again to help.

"Does the master agree to accept Gan?"

Gan Changyuan asked solemnly.

"Uncle Gan, you are my father's military advisor."

"You are also my elder."

"Shouldn't we be so polite?"

Duan Chun asked helplessly.

"Master, Gan is willing to serve you."

"I will be your retainer in the future."

"From now on, I will consider the master in everything."

"If the master does not accept me, I will be ashamed and can only say goodbye and leave."

Gan Changyuan bowed his head and said.

"Uh... okay."

"Then I will accept Uncle Gan's service."

"Uncle Gan, please stand up."

Duan Chun sighed and nodded.

The ancients had too many rules. If he didn't accept his surrender.

It really couldn't solve the current situation.

"Thank you, master."

"From now on, Gan will die for the master!"

"Never betray the master!"

"Master, please accept Gan Changyuan's three bows!"

Gan Changyuan immediately kowtowed respectfully.

The sound of kowtows was heard, and Duan Chun could only accept it helplessly.

After bowing, Duan Chun quickly helped Gan Changyuan up.

"Uncle Gan, you are too polite."

"We are a family, why do we need such a big ceremony."

Duan Chun said helplessly.

"Master, please accept Gan's three bows."

"Only then will you regard Gan as your subordinate."

"There are some things that Gan can tell you truthfully."

Gan Changyuan said with a fist.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Duan Chun looked into his eyes and realized immediately.

The reason why Gan Changyuan was so solemn and insisted on worshipping himself as the new master.

There must be other purposes.

"Gan does have a lot to say."

"Master, you made new weapons, and before that, you only wanted to help the general deal with the Western Expedition."

"Didn't you think about the subsequent troubles?"

Gan Changyuan asked.

"I have thought about the subsequent troubles."

"After my father's expedition to the west, the new arrowheads will show enough power on the battlefield."

"I plan to present the new arrows to Your Majesty."

"And strive to get the qualifications of the Ordnance Department workshop for those veteran blacksmiths of the Cavalry Guard."

"This way, we can get enough free materials for my father, as well as more funds and military pay."

Duan Chun expressed his thoughts.

"Master, your idea is good, but this is exactly what Gan is most worried about."

"When your majesty sees the memorial that I asked you to write today."

"You will be curious about the power of this arrowhead, just like your master."

"You will not understand the real benefits of arrowheads until the Western Frontier War begins."

"But your majesty wants to get the qualification of the Armory Department workshop for the general."

"I'm afraid your majesty may not be able to do it."

"Those noble families control the officials of the Ministry of War, and the Armory Department workshop is their vital interest."

"In the end, all of your designs will be tools for others to make money."

Gan Changyuan shook his head and said.

"Your majesty can't control the Ministry of War?"

Duan Chun opened his mouth wide.

"Yes, many of the powerful positions in the six ministries of the Shangshu Province are in the hands of the major families."

"Your Majesty can only trust the old brothers who accompanied Your Majesty to conquer the world."

"This is the case in every dynasty."

"If Your Majesty wants to get things done, you must reach an agreement with the major families."

"Otherwise, everything will be difficult."

Gan Changyuan replied.

Duan Chun listened to Gan Changyuan's words blankly.

When he was a child, he always thought that the emperor was the one who had the final say.

No one dared to disobey His Majesty's will.

Later, when he grew up, he slowly discovered.

Emperors in history were not able to do everything.

Emperors of the Ming Dynasty were often restricted by civil officials, except for the founding emperor Zhu Chongba.

Almost all emperors were in the process of fighting and compromising with civil officials.

The emperors of the Song Dynasty can be said to be the least respected emperors in the orthodox dynasties.

There were many civil officials who pointed at the emperors and scolded them.

As for the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, because of the long history.

The descendants only know Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Li Zhi, Wu Zetian and Li Longji.

The emperors who held military power in the Tang Dynasty may have the power of life and death.

The emperor without military power was just a person staying in the palace.

It was just a symbol manipulated by civil officials and aristocratic families.

The current situation is very clear. Emperor Dakang finally founded the country.

There is also Beixia in the north, and the emperor dare not easily turn against the aristocratic families.

Lest the country he conquered be replaced by others.

So now, even if the emperor is dissatisfied with the noble families, he can only compromise and make concessions.

"Uncle Gan means that even if I hand over the weapons manufacturing method."

"Will it be easily taken away by the noble families?"

"Is there no way to solve this problem?"

Duan Chun asked.

"Master is so smart, can't you think of a solution?"

Gan Changyuan asked with a smile.

"Uncle Gan means that after this memorial is submitted to His Majesty."

"I will go to the palace to meet His Majesty again, and I hope Your Majesty can keep this secret."

"Let the farm blacksmith shop make it by itself..."

Duan Chun looked at his eyes and understood what he meant.

"Master is smart, this is Gan's idea."

"But the more things the master has to do in the future, I am afraid that it will attract the prying eyes of the major worlds."

"For example, the strange pots and pans made by the master, and the strange way to eat mutton."

"These two days, people have been watching in the imperial capital."

"Wanhua Tower can't stand the calculations of those noble families."

Gan Changyuan nodded.
