Duke Dingguo, Tao Yong's gaze was sinister and bird-like, well, Foolish Han, you really went all out to become the royal father-in-law.
Indeed, this Duke An was one of the "Yue Family" chosen by Emperor Yongcheng.
Just a few days ago, Emperor Yongcheng appointed Duke An's legitimate second daughter as Consort Xian, ranked among the Four Concubines, just below the Empress.
Emperor Yongcheng also transferred some of the authority to manage the harem from Empress Tao to Virtuous Consort Han.
With a Consort rank and significant power, Emperor Yongcheng showed enough sincerity to Duke An's Mansion.
Duke An quickly found a consultant in the mansion to draft a petition proposing reform of the salt administration according to the Emperor's wishes.
At the Imperial court, Duke An, a coarse man not versed in literature, stumbled through reading the petition, with all the civil and military officials silently or covertly watching Tao Yong's expression.
