The Emperor's Son-in-Law

"You two, you always want to lead the army to conquer the enemy."

"Why are you willing to go to Nanmin this time?"

The emperor asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this idea was thought up by Lao Duan's son."

"How dare we two compete with Lao Duan for credit."

Li Que said with a smile.

"Okay, both of you don't have to go."

"How can we use a butcher knife to kill a chicken for the task of blocking the road in Nanmin?"

"Leave it to Duan Ning to deploy."

"Pass on my order, appoint Duke Changguo and General of the Cavalry Guard Duan Ning as the general manager of the Western Border Army."

"Control the troops of the Cavalry Guard and the Wolf Guard."

"Duke Zhenguo and General of the Wolf Guard Li Que is the general manager of the Bei'an Road Army."

"Go to the northern border within five days and keep an eye on the military situation on the Beixia border."

"Don't let Beixia take the opportunity to cause trouble, and take care of the northwest at the same time to prevent unusual movements."

"Duke Anguo and General of the Tiger Guard Li Wenkai is the general manager of the Dongning Road Army."

"Go to the eastern border defense immediately, be careful of changes in the eastern border."

"At the same time, respond to the northern border to prevent Beixia from causing trouble."

The emperor thought and shouted loudly.

"Your subjects obey your order."

All the ministers stood up and clasped their fists in response.

Everyone was extremely surprised. His Majesty had called an emergency court meeting.

The ministers were still curious about what happened.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty was going to send troops directly to the western border!

And what was even more unexpected was that the ministers had not had time to speak at today's court meeting.

His Majesty only looked at the strategy presented by the prince of Changguo.

He had already made a decision immediately!

On the prince's side, the King of Qin lowered his head, with an incredible look in his eyes.

This Duan Chun... is so powerful?

If this person is not one of his own, he must be dead!

The King of Wei also frowned, and he didn't dare to imagine it.

How could this Duan Chun be so trusted by his father?

This person must be pulled to his side!

The King of Chu snorted in his heart. This Duan Chun is so powerful.

I will definitely not let you go...

The princes all have their own ideas in their hearts.

But they also know that the Duke of Changguo is the confidant of their father!

If you want to make Duan Chun your own man, my father will not allow it...

At most, he can become your friend, as long as this kid doesn't go against you in the future.

"I am very happy. Today I summoned all the ministers to Taiji Palace."

"It was originally for the matter of the Western Territory."

"But now, Duan Ning's son has presented me with such a brilliant strategy."

"It can be regarded as helping me solve the troubles that have troubled me for more than three years."

"Duan Chun, you have made a great contribution today."

"I wonder what reward you want?"

The emperor asked with a smile while holding up Duan Chun's scroll.

"Your Majesty, I am just making a great contribution."

"The Western Territory has not been officially deployed yet, so I don't think I have made any contribution."

"I dare not ask for any reward, but..."

"But what?"

The emperor was very happy to hear that this kid knew how to advance and retreat.

I just gave you the princess in marriage and promoted you.

If you are promoted too quickly and you are too young, I am afraid that you will be criticized.

But when Duan Chun said the word "but", the emperor was stunned.

"Your Majesty, I am still young and do not understand the rules of the Dakang court."

"I came to Taiji Palace by accident today."

"So I think Your Majesty should let me go back and study hard."

"When I grow older, I will serve Your Majesty again."

Duan Chun said hurriedly.

When this sentence came out, all the ministers in the court were stunned.

Is this kid resigning from His Majesty?

"Bold, I appoint you as the waiting official in the Ministry of Personnel."

"It is because of your father's merits that I give you special care."

"You study hard in the Ministry of Personnel, and Zhang Lingshi is watching you."

"Only then can I be completely relieved that you can become a useful talent in Dakang in the future."

"You must do a good job as the waiting official."

The emperor said coldly.

"Your Majesty, I didn't say I wanted to resign."

"I just wanted to ask Your Majesty for a leave of absence."

"Because during this period, I found that my father was not good at managing the family property."

"Many of the properties awarded by Your Majesty were sold, and my father's annual salary and fiefdom."

"By the end of the year, there were only a hundred taels of silver left."

"So during this period, I have been helping to manage the family property, and I have a lot of things to do."

"Your Majesty, please give me a little time to deal with family affairs."

"Would you like me to take office again?"

Duan Chun said with his head down.

In the hall, a buzz of discussion sounded.

All the ministers were shocked. The Duke of Kangchang and the General of the Cavalry Guard.

There was only so much money in the mansion...

They all felt incredible.

"I see."

"I understand. Your father only has you as his child."

"You and your father are the only two of the Duan family."

"Then I will give you a month to sort out your family affairs."

"At the same time, I will reward you with 100 taels of gold."

The emperor sighed in his heart, but did not show anything on his face.

He understood that Duan Ning, a simple man, valued friendship.

The wounded and old soldiers of the Cavalry Guard, and even the families of the fallen soldiers.

For more than ten years, Duan Ning has been silently helping to take care of them.

If Duan Chun hadn't said it, the emperor would have almost forgotten it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Duan Chun was pleasantly surprised. One hundred taels of gold...

Oh my, according to the current exchange rate in Dakang.

One tael of silver is ten thousand coins, and one tael of gold...

That's nearly twenty taels of silver!

You know, the currency exchange rate in ancient times was different because of the dynasties.

The exchange rate fluctuated greatly!

And in times of war, the exchange rate between gold, silver and copper coins fluctuated even more dramatically.

In peacetime, one tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver.

And one tael of silver can be exchanged for about one thousand to one thousand five hundred coins of copper coins.

But in today's Dakang Empire, there is Beixia competing with it, and there are countless foreign countries on both sides.

The war has just ended, and the exchange rate has not yet stabilized.

Gold and silver are still the most precious currencies, and copper coins are still only used by the people.

One tael of silver can be exchanged for tens of thousands of coins!

And one tael of gold is now worth sixteen or seventeen taels of silver.

Eleven years ago, when Dakang had not yet been established.

One tael of gold could be exchanged for fifty taels of silver!

"Okay, let's end the court meeting."

"My princes, three envoys, and the ministers of the three ministries of military affairs, household and industry."

"In addition to the military officers above the third rank, go to my study to discuss important matters."

The emperor waved his sleeves and said.

"Your humble servant obeys your order."

All the ministers in the hall bowed and saluted.

"Duan Chun, go and do your business."

"I will give you a month."

"But during this time, you have to visit the queen frequently."

"And Concubine Jing and my Princess Anshun, to plan the wedding."

The emperor looked at Duan Chun and said.

This kid is really not an ordinary kid...

The ideas he came up with before, as well as his performance at the Jing'an Palace state banquet.

The emperor has become more interested in him...
