The Emperor's Son-in-Law

Chapter 74 The Emperor on a whim

Duan Chun knew very well that he had traveled to a special era.

My father was a general who commanded 100,000 cavalry guards!

He was also a top-level duke.

He was also the most trusted general in the eyes of His Majesty!

But Duan Chun knew even better that in ancient times, generals who commanded heavy troops would be coveted by others.

They would also be suspected by the emperor. It was his father's carefree personality that determined his current status.

Under normal circumstances, the next generation of such generals who control a large army.

Almost cannot command heavy troops again.

Duan Chun was afraid of hardship, but he was more afraid of being watched all the time.

This time he came up with an idea just to show his ability in front of His Majesty.

It would be fine if he could gain His Majesty's appreciation.

When the father and son led the troops in the army, who would help my father and himself watch in the court?

As long as my father led the troops, he would stay in the court to observe the situation.

He would just take care of his future industry by the way.

"I am very satisfied with your proposal just now."

"Compared to your father's bravery, your wisdom is far superior to your father's."

"Why don't you want to join the army?"

The emperor asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty, I am afraid of hardship."

"I am even more afraid of ruining my father's reputation."

"I can only talk about military affairs on paper, and I dare not delay your majesty's important affairs."

Duan Chun bowed his head and said respectfully.

"Talking about military affairs on paper..."

"Don't say it, I am still reluctant to let you join the army now."

"I plan to announce the marriage in public at the state banquet tonight."

"You will be my son-in-law in the future, and I have important matters for you to deal with."

The emperor smiled faintly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Duan Chun breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Gao Fu."

"Has the Beixia delegation arrived?"

The emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, the Beixia envoys are already waiting at the Jing'an Palace."

"Just wait for the auspicious time in half an hour."

"Your Majesty can announce the start of the state banquet."

Li Gaofu replied.

"Since the Beixia envoys have arrived."

"Duan Chun, I order you to go and receive the distinguished guests."

"Please help me take a closer look. Is there a noble lady among the Beixia envoys?"

The emperor said.

"I obey your order."

"But your Majesty, what is the situation of the lady in the Beixia envoys?"

Duan Chun asked in confusion.

"The Beixia envoys came to Dakang this time."

"They said they were here to borrow grain, but they actually had other plans."

"They came not only to investigate the situation in Dakang."

"They came for a marriage!"

"The identity of that girl has not been made public yet."

"I have received a memorial. This girl is most likely the sixth princess of the Emperor of Daxia."

"The Beixia envoys want to marry me. When the palace banquet comes later, they might bring out the Emperor of Daxia's will."

"Formally propose marriage to me in front of the envoys of various countries."

"Duan Chun, what do you think I should do?"

The emperor asked with a smile.

"Well, this is a national event."

"I dare not speak nonsense."

Duan Chun lowered his head and said quickly.

"You, you still haven't figured out your current identity."

"I just discussed with the three dukes for a long time."

"It is still unclear now, the sixth princess of the Emperor of Beixia."

"They came to the capital of Dakang so mysteriously. Which of my princes do they want to marry?"

"Their purpose is not simple."

The emperor said.

"But I am a humble official, how dare I interfere in this matter?"

Duan Chun still didn't understand the emperor's thoughts.

Why would the emperor ask for his opinion on such a big matter?

He already felt something was wrong...

"I have thought about it just now."

"The Princess of Beixia came to Dakang for marriage, and she came secretly."

"They want to catch me off guard."

"Which of my sons do they want to propose marriage to?"

"There must be evil intentions!"

"Beixia and Dakang will have a war sooner or later."

"I don't want this Princess of Beixia to marry into the Dakang royal family."

The emperor pondered.

"Uh...then how does your majesty want me to deal with this matter?"

Duan Chun opened his mouth wide.

"I have just discussed it with the three dukes."

"It's a pity that their three sons are either married."

"Or they are not yet adults..."

"They can't come to share my worries."

"I just heard your suggestion and I have made up my mind."

"Only you can come forward to share this matter."

The emperor smiled.

"Your Majesty, you are not going to let me..."

"But the letter from Beixia will definitely ask for a marriage with the Dakang royal family."

"How can I..."

Duan Chun was completely stunned.

He couldn't imagine how His Majesty could be so careless?

At the state banquet later, the emperor had made it clear that he would grant Princess Xian a marriage in public.

How could he get Princess Beixia to himself again?

That's the Princess of Beixia...

"They want to marry into the royal family of Dakang."

"I won't give them this opportunity."

"As for what to do, I have just discussed it with the three dukes."

"But the manpower has not been decided yet."

"Duke Zhenguo, who did you suggest just now?"

The emperor looked at the minister on the side.

"Your Majesty, I just suggested the second son of the Duke of Thailand."

"He is only sixteen years old, but he is born a little stupid."

"I am afraid he cannot fulfill your Majesty's will."

"If your Majesty does not mind, let the prince of the Duke of Changguo marry the two princesses."

"Then Duan Chun is the best candidate."

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled.

No!

Duan Chun wanted to cry at this time.

Even if it is the Princess of Beixia, what's wrong?

He has met four, no, five princesses of Dakang.

Except for Princess Liyang and Princess Xian, the other three princesses did not interest him at all.

Princess Beixia might be the same.

Not all princesses are beauties.

Duan Chun would never dare to take a princess he had never met.

"Duan Chun, I'm giving you a chance."

"Even if you help me take over Beixia's marriage, Xian'er's marriage to you."

"I will issue an edict to announce it immediately."

"You can marry my princess and Beixia's princess at the same time."

"If your father knew, he would be very happy."

The emperor smiled.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I disobey your order."

"It's that I..."

Duan Chun lowered his head and made up his mind.

He must not marry this Beixia princess!

Otherwise, the family will not be at peace for a long time in the future.

Just now, His Majesty also said that there will be a war between Beixia and Dakang sooner or later.

If I marry the Beixia princess, it will be like planting a bomb in my home!

Your Majesty made this decision on a whim.

He thought quickly in his mind...

In an instant, a flash of inspiration came to him, and he thought of Princess Liyang's request.

"Your Majesty, I dare not accept your order."

"Because I am the only blood of the Duan family."

"If I marry the princess of the enemy country, how will my father lead the army in the future?"

"There will be gossip everywhere in the court and the country."

"I hope your majesty will understand."

Duan Chun said with a fist.

"This..."

The emperor widened his eyes. He was still satisfied with his temporary decision just now.

I didn't expect Duan Chun to bring up his father...
