The Emperor's Son-in-Law

Duan Chun looked at the twenty sturdy cavalrymen.

In his memory, these two were the two captains of the guards who had been with my father for many years.

Unexpectedly, my father actually transferred two captains and eighteen cavalrymen to protect his safety.

A sixth-rank official, no, he was appointed from a sixth-rank official.

He actually brought so many personal guards, and there were two sixth-rank captains as the leaders of the guards.

This was too incredible...

Because they were my father's trusted guards, Duan Chun, who knew how to behave, addressed them as elders.

Immediately, all the guards smiled.

"You are too polite, my prince."

"I don't deserve it."

But what Duan Chun didn't know was that in the entire Dakang Imperial Capital.

There were not many people who could swagger around with cavalry guards at any time.

In the entire Dakang Empire military, there were not many people.

Among them was his father Duan Ning.

Duan Chun knew that this was because his father was worried that he would be plotted against again.

He had already deployed security defenses for him.

Sitting in the carriage, with His Majesty's order, under the escort of twenty cavalrymen.

Duan Chun's carriage passed through the bustling streets of the Imperial Capital.

Sitting in the carriage, Duan Chun lifted the curtain. This was his first time to formally watch the ancient city scene of this era.

Long stone streets, bustling districts.

Duan Chun had studied history before, and only knew that the ancient imperial city was very prosperous.

Now I find that the Imperial Capital of the Dakang Empire has been recuperating for eleven years after the war.

Now it is a prosperous scene again...

Passing through three districts, the carriage headed towards the gate of a magnificent building complex in front.

I saw a plaque with three big characters [Honglu Temple] hanging outside the gate.

In addition to the two teams of soldiers guarding the gate of the official office, there were already more than a dozen officials in red and green robes guarding the gate.

As the sound of horse hooves sounded, Zhang Wu and Zhao Changlong stopped on both sides with their guards.

The carriage also came to the gate.

"Your subordinates, we are here to meet the Prince of the Duke of Changguo."

A neat voice sounded, and a group of red-robed and green-robed officials bowed in unison.

"No need to be polite, my lords."

"Your subordinates are only a sixth-rank official of the Honglu Temple."

"I don't deserve such a great courtesy from you lords."

Duan Chun smiled and got off the carriage, and quickly stretched out his hand to help the officials up one by one.

"The prince came to the Honglu Temple to take up his post."

"This is the order of His Majesty. Your subordinates know that the prince is only here for training."

"So the prince does not need to take any responsibility in the Honglu Temple."

"Whatever you ask, your subordinates will do their best to complete it."

The leading red-robed official said with a smile.

"That won't do. His Majesty wants your subordinates to come to the Honglu Temple to learn from experience."

"Your subordinates dare not neglect their duties..."

Duan Chun laughed.

After a while of asking each other, the officials who came to greet him.

It was a group of colleagues headed by the Diankecheng of the Honglu Temple.

The Minister of the Palace of Rites is a fifth-rank official, and Duan Chun's immediate superior.

Duan Chun couldn't help but sigh as his superior led the officials to greet him outside the door.

In his previous life, he had never been treated like this.

After a while of understanding, Duan Chun also understood the situation of the Honglu Temple.

The Honglu Temple is in charge of court meetings, guests, and auspicious and inauspicious ceremonies.

As long as it is a national ceremony, suburban temple, sacrifice, court meeting, banquet, and imperial lecture.

There are also canonization, calendar, spring, transmission, victory, etc.

All are under the management of the Honglu Temple.

Duan Chun also understood the official positions of the Honglu Temple from the mouth of Chen Yang, the Minister of the Honglu Temple.

The Honglu Temple has one Minister, from the third rank.

Two Junior Ministers, from the fourth rank.

There are two offices, the Minister of the Palace of Rites and the Master of Ceremonies, and two Secretaries, from the sixth rank.

But this is only the official rank given by the court, and the rank is not fixed.

And Duan Chun's position as the Minister of Guests is just a small official in the Palace of Guests.

Responsible for various tasks of receiving foreign guests.

"Please come in, my prince."

Chen Yang greeted Duan Chun humbly and entered the Honglu Temple.

And told Duan Chun that the chief minister Yuwen Xi and the two junior ministers were going to prepare for the grand banquet in Jing'an Palace.

Or to inform the envoys of various countries.

At this time, he was not in the office, so Duan Chun did not need to go to see him.

After leading Duan Chun to the main hall of the Palace of Guests, he helped him find his office.

It was just a long table in an office area on the left side of the hall, and a cushion on the ground.

"Prince, from now on, you will handle official business here."

"If you have anything, just tell me."

Chen Yang smiled and clasped his fists.

"Thank you, sir."

"But what does the Palace of Guests need to do for the Beixia envoys to meet this time?"

Duan Chun asked curiously.

He still remembered clearly the task that the Emperor had given him when he conferred him an official title yesterday.

And the smile in the Emperor's eyes that looked like he was digging a hole.

He understood that His Majesty had not sent him to the Honglu Temple to let him play.

But he wanted him to find a way to deal with the Beixia envoys.

If he could not complete His Majesty's task, I am afraid His Majesty would never use him again.

Now, Duan Chun basically understood the complex political situation of the Dakang Empire.

Although his father was the founding Duke of Changguo and was deeply trusted by His Majesty.

But this was only the glory of his father's generation.

As a second-generation child in the upper echelons of the empire, Duan Chun knew.

If he did not worry about it and only thought about eating and drinking.

Once the political situation was turbulent, his father would be in trouble.

Even if he wanted to be a playboy, others would not let him go, just because he was Duan Ning's son.

Therefore, Duan Chun had to control his own destiny!

"Prince, there are too many things to do in the Dianke Office."

"Receiving the delegation and banquets, arranging seats, etc."

"The subordinate and other adults are very busy."

"There are only three days to prepare for the banquet, and the subordinate has to go out to prepare."

Chen Yang said with a bitter face.

"Then what can I do?"

Duan Chun asked.

"Prince, you don't have to do anything."

"Just rest here."

Chen Yang's heart jumped when he heard it, and he shook his head quickly.

He was also very nervous, seeing that there were only three days to prepare for the banquet.

His Majesty brought a prince of the state to his Dianke Office!

When the Zhengqing and Shaoqing told him about this, they all had a bitter smile on their faces.

Let him properly place the prince of the state, as long as Duan Chun doesn't make trouble.

They are already thankful.

How could Chen Yang dare to let a young prince run to do errands for him?

If the prince made a mistake, he would be the only one who would be in trouble.

"No, your majesty will not let the subordinate come to the Honglu Temple to be in a daze."

"Sir, you can assign a random task to the subordinate."

Duan Chun smiled, of course he understood the mind of this Diankecheng.

"Uh..."

Chen Yang stayed there and assigned you a task...

That would be troublesome for himself, you don't know anything.

What if he made a mistake?

"Let's do this, the Jiaofang is rehearsing music and dance."

"The prince can go to the Jiaofang Division and watch the rehearsal of the music girls, dancers and musicians."

Chen Yang racked his brains to think about it.

He dared not let the young prince do things such as banquets, making rosters, welcoming guests, etc.

Once a mistake is made, it will be a big deal!

Only in terms of music and dance, the prince can be asked to take a look.

The music girls and musicians have rehearsed dance music, no matter how stupid the prince is.

It definitely won’t cause much of a storm.
