hiss!

Li Chen's words made the ministers shocked. He never thought that Li Chen would have to appoint a son-in-law at the first dynasty meeting in the first year. But it was normal to think about it. The ministers looked at Chen Hao who was standing in the hall and thought that such an outstanding candidate would be a strange thing if the emperor did not choose to be a son-in-law.

Almost as long as the officials in the court have daughters and granddaughters at home, they have ever had Chen Hao's ideas. Not to mention that these officials who have no grudges with Chen Hao had this idea, even Cui Shi had thought of marrying Chen Hao to alleviate the grudges between them. However, Chen Hao kept silent about this matter, which made everyone feel lost.

Cui Shi was not too surprised by this. When Li Chen wanted to appoint Chen Haowei's son-in-law, Cui Shi felt a little secretly happy. If Chen Hao really became the son-in-law of the current dynasty, his future career would be restrained. This may be a good thing for Cui Dang, so Cui Shi narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Hao in the hall with a smile on his face.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a system of etiquette for the son-in-law. When a person married the princess, he would be granted the position of Duwei of the son-in-law. Generally speaking, after the son-in-law married the princess, he would immediately add the title of "third-rank prosecutor" to the official.

The third rank is a very high rank, and the prime minister is only a third rank official. According to the customs of the Tang Dynasty, unless one makes great contributions, the first and second ranks of high officials will not be easily awarded, so the third rank is already the highest official rank in the Tang Dynasty.

It is logically a shortcut to Zhongnan for the career of officialdom, but this "third-rank prosecutor" is not so simple. The so-called "prosecutor" can actually be called a non-official official, which refers to an official outside the original lack. That is, an official outside the formal establishment, which is just a false title outside the establishment.

Anyone, even a high-ranking official from the prime minister, is just a vacant position as long as the title of "prosecutor" is added. Therefore, although the prince-consort has an official title, it is just a vacant official title and cannot be considered a formal official at all.

Now that Chen Hao is in the year of his title, he is already in the fourth-rank official position in Dongdu, and he has a bright future. If Chen Hao becomes the son-in-law of the current dynasty, it means that Chen Hao will stop outside the third-rank, so this will be a considerable restraint for Chen Hao's career.

Chen Hao, who lived in the hall, looked a little gloomy at this moment, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned and said solemnly: "Master, I am a little cold in my hometown. I used to live in Taihe to make a living by begging. It is different from the princess of the Tian family. How dare you have such a delusion??"

"Hey! My dear, don't belittle yourself. The old saying goes, heroes don't ask where they come from, and wise ministers don't talk about their past. Now my dear, I am the number one talented man in the Tang Dynasty, how can I speak the same way?"

Seeing Chen Hao so humble, Li Chen was very satisfied with his son-in-law. When Li Long begged Li Chen to make Chen Hao the son-in-law, the reason why Li Chen readily agreed was actually because Li Chen wanted to treat Chen Hao as his son-in-law.

Although Chen Hao has not passed the imperial examination, his current achievements are enough to make many top students in the imperial examination. In Li Chen's opinion, those who can match Chen Hao in the entire lobby now must be hard to find with lanterns. No matter how outstanding the appearance, wisdom and courage are, the important thing is that his daughter loves him.

Since Li Long begged him to let Chen Hao go that day, Li Chen knew that his daughter already had this young man in her heart. If it weren't for this, she wouldn't let Li Long leave the palace, and wouldn't let him follow King Yong to Dongdu. You should know that there are many imperial doctors and palace maids in the palace, and she is more casual than Li Long to take care of King Yong.

Seeing that Li Chen insisted on recruiting him as his son-in-law, Chen Hao solemnly said: "The emperor's favor made me flattered me. Thanks to the emperor's love with the princess, I should have followed the holy wishes. However, I will marry my wife three months later, so I cannot accept the order!"

As soon as this statement was made, the court was in an uproar. Li Chen was stunned when he heard this, he hesitated for a moment and then said with a little displeasure: "Since you have not gotten married, why not? My dearest me, please refuse!"

"Although I have not gotten married, I have always been in love with each other. The emperor dare not accept the favorable intentions of the emperor! Please choose others as your son-in-law!" Chen Hao responded in a deep voice without any concession.

Seeing Chen Hao's words so resolutely, Li Chen's face darkened. He never expected that Chen Hao would reject his order in public, so he looked stern and asked coldly: "Is this refuting my good intentions?"

How could Chen Hao not hear Li Chen’s coldness at this moment? However, he has his own persistence and cannot give in to the marriage. So he firmly replied: “I dare not, but I am forgiven for being brave enough to obey my orders!”

"I issued an order today, and you have been openly resisting the order?" Li Chen, who has always been kind, was particularly stubborn today, so he looked at Chen Hao with cold eyes frowning.

"If the emperor wants his minister to die, he has to die. If the emperor insists on doing so, then the humble minister will have to resign and suffer..." Chen Hao's face was as deep as water without any emotional fluctuations. As he spoke, he had already taken the black veil and put it in his hand.

"you!……"

Li Chen was so stubborn that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He thought Chen Hao would respond happily, but he didn't expect that this situation would be the case. At this time, King Yong Li, Yu Gui, Bai Shiyan and others all came to persuade Chen Hao, hoping that Chen Hao would put the overall situation first. However, Chen Hao was still so stubborn and unchanged, leaving everyone helpless.

Finally, Bai Minzhong saw that Chen Hao had no intention of marrying into the royal family, and he didn't want Chen Hao to ruin his bright future, so he moved to the hall and bowed to advise: "Your Majesty, since Lord Chen is already in a marriage contract, how can the princess marry a married man? According to the old minister, the spring examination period is not far away, and there will be many talented men and handsome..."

"Mr. Bai's words are bad. How can he talk about marriage contracts without the order of his parents? How can he talk about marriage without the marriage of a marriage? Even if all the talents of our Tang Dynasty gather in the capital, how many people can match Master Chen? Can he have outstanding talents? What if he can match Master Chen's wisdom? Can he have good spirits?... The emperor can choose Master Chen as the second princess's son-in-law, which is really a perfect match made by heaven!" Cui Shi praised Chen Hao without hesitation in order to facilitate this matter.

Chen Hao looked at Cui Shi, who was talking on the side, but he was extremely angry. He didn't see this old man Cui praise him on weekdays, but today he really felt like he was polite and putting on the wrong side.

"Old Cui Ge, as the saying goes..."

"Enough!" Bai Minzhong was about to argue, but was blocked by Li Chen's slap.

Li Chen suppressed his anger and asked Chen Hao: "Is the daughter of the He family whom I love married?"

Everyone was quite confused about Li Chen's question. They wanted to know which woman in the three major families of Li, Zheng and Wang. Because in the eyes of the ministers, Chen Hao was able to disobey and not marry the princess, it was enough to show that Chen Hao wanted to marry the daughter of a wealthy family of aristocratic families. The five major gentry families in the world were Cui, Lu, Li, Zheng, and Wang. Among them, Cui and Lu families had a grudge and had very little chance of marrying Chen Hao, so only the three major gentry were left.
