The Emperor's Son-in-Law

Chapter 4 The Emperor's Test

"Old Duan, are you here to ask Your Majesty to marry your son?"

"Are you here to take a concubine for yourself?"

A veteran asked with a smile.

"Go away, I'm here to ask Your Majesty to grant me a marriage for my child."

"Choose a princess to be my wife for my children."

Duan Ning shouted.

"Mr. Chang Guo, this is the meeting of the great dynasty..."

Zhongshu Ling Xiao Yi reminded helplessly.

"I know this is a meeting of the imperial court, a place where important matters are discussed."

"Your Majesty, I just came to ask for your marriage."

"It won't take up much of Your Majesty's time."

Duan Ning hugged Chaohu and said loudly.

All the ministers were speechless, and Duke Chang Guo brought his children to the court meeting.

It seems that we have to force His Majesty to grant the marriage directly.

"You idiot..."

The emperor originally planned to take advantage of today's court meeting to deal with those greedy people.

I didn't expect to be messed up by this idiot.

The emperor looked at Duan Ning helplessly, unable to do anything to him.

Just because in today's Dakang Empire, the emperor can trust the military generals 100%.

This old man is definitely number one!

Not only were they sworn brothers before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Duan Ning also defended the emperor from arrows several times.

Even with injuries, he carried the emperor for more than ten miles to save his life.

Nowadays, one-third of the territory of the Dakang Empire was conquered by Duan Ning's army to conquer the city!

But Duan Ning was only loyal to the emperor in his heart, and the emperor knew it better than anyone else.

"Duan Chun, come forward and let me take a good look at you."

The emperor knows Duan Ning's temper. If he doesn't agree to it today, who knows what kind of temper this idiot will get into?

The only thing left to do is to resolve the marriage issue first.

"I obey the order."

Duan Chun walked under the Dan steps, raised his head and looked at Emperor Dakang on the high platform...

When he saw the Emperor's face clearly for the first time, he couldn't help but tremble secretly in his heart.

The founding emperor of Dakang was truly worthy of being a monarch who conquered the world on horseback.

His face was majestic, and his eyes were full of murderous aura and majesty.

Ordinary people would not dare to look at him easily!

The emperor looked at this junior curiously and felt in his heart...

This kid is only seventeen years old?

But why did his eyes look so complicated?

While the emperor was curious, he also wanted to test this boy...

"If I remember correctly, Chun'er should be seventeen this year, right?"

"Your father and I were sworn brothers back then."

"It's just that I have been so busy with world affairs these years that I forgot that you are an adult."

"Since your father wants to propose to you."

"I happen to have three daughters who are close to your age and are not yet married."

"I will issue an order to have the Queen and my three princesses summon you at Fengwu Palace."

"Which of my princesses you like, I will immediately issue a decree to marry you."

"Mr. Chang Guo, are you satisfied with what I have done?"

the emperor asked with a smile.

But he understood Duan Ning's intention in his heart and deliberately went to the court to propose marriage.

This is using his old face to force me...

"Your Majesty, I am very satisfied!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."

Duan Ning smiled, cupped his fists and bowed.

"Then it's settled. This time I remember the sworn vows between Duke Chang and myself in the past."

"Just once, never again!"

The emperor glanced at the military attache queue, and he knew very well.

After Duan Ning came here once, they would start asking for marriage.

"I understand."

All the prince-level generals bowed their heads and responded.

"Hey, Your Majesty, please ask Eunuch Li to send someone to take my child to Fengwu Palace."

Duan Ning said with a smile and cupped his fists.

"Don't worry, it's Duan Chun's first time going to court."

"I see that he has an extraordinary talent and charisma. He must have read a lot of books over the years."

"I want to see what his abilities are like?"

"It's time for my court to need more young people to serve."

The emperor said with a smile.

"Master Yan, show Duan Chun your disaster relief report."

The emperor turned his head and looked to one side.

Now he doesn't want to know this kid's talent at all, but wants to use it to his advantage...

It's time to strike, no, it's time to use Duan Chun to take action on those corrupt officials!

"I obey the order."

Shangshu ordered Yan Ziqiu to come to Duan Chun from the side of the couch, holding a stack of memorials in both hands.

"Duan Chun, I will give you time for a cup of tea."

"You should take a good look at these memorials."

"Then tell me your opinion. It doesn't matter if you are wrong."

"I won't blame you."

said the emperor.

"Junior, I understand."

Duan Chun reluctantly took the memorial, but Yan Ziqiu did not leave.

Standing next to Duan Chun and waiting patiently.

He had already entered the palace to show these memorials to His Majesty.

Now he, an old fox, also understands in his heart that His Majesty will kill people with a knife in today's court meeting!

Show this to a little kid like Duan Chun, and maybe His Majesty will have a new idea.

Duan Chun opened the memorial and was reading the contents carefully.

Fortunately, he has the original memory of Duan Chun in his brain, otherwise a modern person would travel back to ancient times.

You will also be confused by the way the ancient Chinese is written.

Read the contents of the memorial carefully, and read one before reading the next.

Soon I understood all the contents of these household memorials...

The matter is very simple. The three southern counties of Dakang suffered from floods, and a large number of farmlands and villages were flooded.

Millions of people were homeless and hungry!

The Emperor of Dakang immediately issued an order to open the warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue and the treasury to provide disaster relief and transport grain to the disaster area in several routes.

But what the Emperor of Dakang did not expect was that.

The Ministry of Revenue and the treasury in various places are expected to take out 60% of the inventory to ensure the normal expenses of the disaster area for one month.

Until the flood is over, the flooded villages and fields will be repaired.

As a result, the grain transported from warehouses to the disaster area from various places has only 20% or 30% left when it arrives at the local area.

The treasury is powerless!

And now, the disaster situation in various places cannot be resolved, and more than 200,000 young and strong victims are pouring into the capital of Dakang.

The situation has become more and more critical!

Duan Chun saw the plight of the Dakang Empire at a glance.

This is not a natural disaster at all, but a man-made disaster!

It was a group of corrupt officials who took the opportunity to embezzle the relief grain, but what surprised Duan Chun was.

How dare they embezzle so much?

Sixty percent of the grain arrived in the disaster areas, but only less than two or three percent remained!

No, this is not an ordinary corrupt official who embezzled grain to make money.

These corrupt officials must have their own purposes.

They did not embezzle the relief grain simply for their own personal gain.

Faced with such a situation, other people might not know how to deal with it?

The Emperor of Dakang could only think of one method.

Kill all the corrupt officials and get the grain back.

But doing so ignored the biggest trouble now.

The disaster area is short of food. If the food is not in place as soon as possible, the people in the disaster area in the south of Dakang will be hungry.

That will be a big deal!

Duan Chun lowered his head and thought about it, and he already knew what to do.

He handed the memorial in his hand back to Yan Ziqiu.

Duan Chun looked up at the high throne...
