The Emperor's Son-in-Law

Although Duan Chun knows some history.

But there are too many specific official offices in ancient times.

He knows a little bit about the basic departments of the three provinces and six ministries.

However, in addition to the three provinces and six ministries, there were also the official names of nine temples and five prisons in ancient times.

Except for Zongzheng Temple of Dali Temple, Duan Chun couldn't even call the others by name.

So I know nothing.

The official offices of the six bureaucracies and nine temples have many overlapping functions.

Until later, I don’t know which dynasty abolished the Nine Temples and merged them into the Six Divisions.

This ended the bloated official classification.

Honglu Temple seems to be an official office in charge of ceremonial banquets and reception of foreign guests, right?

"Your Majesty, the Northern Xia envoy has been staying at the Imperial City Post House for four days."

"They are clamoring every day to go to Hajj to see His Majesty."

"Wei Chen and others are struggling to cope with them."

"It's almost impossible to hold them down anymore."

The only purple-robed veteran took the initiative to report.

"This man is the chief minister of Honglu Temple, Yu Wenxi."

"I am from the third level in my current dynasty."

Duan Ning introduced softly in his son's ear.

"oh oh."

Duan Chun nodded.

What is the situation with the Northern Xia Mission?

He thought carefully and quickly recalled the original Duan Chun.

Immediately understand the situation of the Northern Xia Empire.

Today in the world, there is Dakang in the south and Daxia in the north.

The two empires overthrew the previous dynasty and divided the world into two parts, north and south.

But both empires are thinking about unifying the world as soon as possible.

Therefore, in the eleven years since the founding of Dakang, the battle with Northern Xia has been constant all year round.

However, the two empires were very powerful, especially the emperor of the Dakang Empire who was the emperor on horseback.

He also has a group of young and powerful generals under his command.

Duan Ning, Duan Chun's father, is one of them.

Therefore, the Dakang Empire has been expanding its territory to the north.

Until Bei Xia gave up a piece of territory and retreated to defend some naturally dangerous places.

This blocked the Dakang Legion from continuing to advance northward.

There has been no war between the two empires for almost a year.

However, the emperors and important ministers of the two empires never gave up their great wish to unify the world.

"Humph, they all wish that I would die soon."

"What benefits do they want from my great fortune now?"

"Except for food, you should have figured out their thoughts in the past few days, right?"

The emperor asked calmly.

"Reply to Your Majesty."

"The ministers and colleagues are carefully exploring the thoughts of the Northern Xia envoy."

"This time they came to ask for more than one hundred thousand shi of food."

"The other purpose is to spy on Dakang's military situation."

"There are still some major events in the government and the public, especially the situation of important ministers in the government."

"And find out if we, Dakang, have any plans to send troops to them."

Yuwenxi replied.

"It's more than that."

"I heard that the royal family of Northern Xia has had some problems recently."

"There has been some turmoil in North Korea and China recently."

"The three Northern Xia princes are fighting fiercely among themselves."

The emperor smiled disdainfully.

"Ah...your majesty knows everything?"

Yu Wenxi was stunned.

Duan Chun secretly laughed in his heart. These adults in Honglu Temple didn't know what a spy was.

Both empires have countless spies lurking in their respective imperial capitals.

Send all the information about the other party back to your home country in detail.

This is the real fight in troubled times.

"There are still many special people hiding in the Northern Xia Mission."

"The purpose of coming to Dakang this time is not simple."

"So I plan to delay them for another three days."

"It's better to let them show some flaws when they are impatient."

"Then I personally summoned the Northern Xia envoy in Jing'an Palace."

The emperor sneered.

"Your Majesty will summon the Northern Xia envoy in three days?"

"I understand."

"I must make preparations for the banquet in advance."

Yu Wenxi and all the ministers of Honglu Temple saluted together.

"That's not all I have in mind."

"So today I have brought Duke Chang Guo with me."

"I plan to conduct a military formation drill in the Jing'an Palace Square when I summon the Northern Xia envoys."

"Let the Northern Xia envoy see my Dakang's military might."

"Look at how dare they issue credentials indiscriminately, threatening the security of our northern territory of Dakang!"

The emperor said disdainfully.

"I obey your decree, your Majesty can practice as you wish."

"This is how the knights under my command train."

When Duan Ning heard this, he immediately shouted loudly with his eyes shining.

"Duan Aiqing, please dispatch three thousand elite cavalry and rush to the racecourse outside the city."

"I will allocate another 5,000 Imperial Guard infantry for you to coordinate with the military formation drills."

"Please help me improve military discipline as soon as possible, and I will provide you with the latest armor and ordnance."

"We must let the Northern Xia envoys see the power of my Dakang Army Formation!"

"Kill them with all their might!"

The emperor nodded and said.

He is now over forty, but the world is still divided into two.

Nowadays, the situation within the Northern Xia Dynasty is turbulent...

In the Dakang Empire, he was still able to suppress those ministers from aristocratic families with evil intentions, as well as his six princes.

Let him see new hope of sending troops to conquer Northern Xia!

"I obey the order."

Duan Ning said in surprise.

"Also, the position of Dianke Attendant at Honglu Temple is vacant."

"Yuwen Aiqing, I am not satisfied with any of the candidates you submitted."

"So today, I have selected a new Dianke Attendant for you."

"Duan Chun."

The emperor looked to one side.

"Ah... Weichen is here."

Duan Chun quickly stepped forward and bowed his head in salute.

"The Duan family has a son who has grown up."

"Your father is my most trusted minister."

"You have grown up now, and it's time to serve Da Kang."

"I appoint you as the guest attendant of Honglu Temple."

"From the sixth-grade official position, you should first familiarize yourself with Dakang's court situation."

The emperor said with a smile.

"I accept the decree and thank Your Majesty for His grace!"

Duan Chun was stunned. Did he get a job in Honglu Temple?

Isn't the official position of the sixth grade a bit small?

What kind of officials are the officials in charge of among the guests and attendants of Honglu Temple?

"Your Majesty, it is the first time for Mr. Duan to serve as an official in the court."

"Your Majesty will appoint him as the guest of Honglu Temple."

"Isn't it a little difficult for Young Master Duan..."

Yuwenxi clasped his fists in surprise and said.

"I just want to embarrass the younger generation."

"Duan Chun, the guest attendant of Honglu Temple, is responsible for accompanying and greeting envoys from other countries."

"Your duty is to receive good guests."

“Find out what their preferences and thoughts are, but you don’t need to prepare for this when you first take up the job.”

"Just stare at Honglu Temple and find something to do by yourself."

"Do you understand?"

The emperor looked at Duan Chun and asked.

You boy, I want you to go to the harem to meet the princess.

But you are ruthless in the palace.

But beating a dog depends on the owner, which offended Ning'er and the entire Xiao family.

I'm afraid your kid will be in a lot of trouble in the future.

I didn't punish you in the palace just because I wanted to save face for the Queen and Lao Duan.

But I need to polish off your arrogant temper.

Lest you continue to cause uncontrollable disasters in the future!

If Lao Duan gets into trouble, that will be the biggest trouble.

"Wei Chen understands."

"But Your Majesty, I have a dull personality."

"Don't know what to do?"

"I'm afraid of offending others, so please let Your Majesty make it clear."

Duan Chun asked.

"Are you afraid of offending others now?"

"If I ask you to serve as a guest attendant, I won't be afraid of you offending them."

"Beixia...I have been waiting for so many years."

"Just waiting for an opportunity."

"The credentials of the Northern Xia mission are so arrogant this time."

"I don't intend to continue to spoil them."

The emperor smiled coldly.

"Duan Chun accepts the order."

"I asked you to find something to do. I just want you to clean up the squeamishness of the Northern Xia Mission."

"Let them understand that my great prosperity is something they will never dare to offend."

"You can think of a way to cause some trouble for me, so that the Northern Xia envoy will be offended and at the same time, you can enhance the prestige of our country."

"It can also make them helpless."

"If you do well, I will reward you greatly."

"If you don't do it well, you can stay with me at Honglu Temple from now on."

The emperor shouted lightly.
