After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband

"The Minister of Revenue is adept and shrewd, with many allies within the court, but also quite a few enemies."

"Since we are against the Minister of Revenue, naturally, we pay close attention to his affairs. Perhaps in our hands, we hold some useful information that may aid our investigation."

The Eldest Young Master Sun’s eyes lit up, "Brother Su’s tactics are admirable, truly remarkable."

Just as he finished speaking, Su Yang shifted the conversation, patting Young Master Sun’s shoulder, "I know the three of you aren’t married yet, but are you engaged?"

Eldest Young Master Sun, "...."

Young Master Zhou, "...."

Young Master Zheng, "...."

The topic changed so quickly that it left them dizzy.

Weren’t we just discussing the investigation? How did it turn to marrying wives?

Isn’t this something for their parents to worry about?

The corners of their mouths twitched uncontrollably.

They could understand, after all, Su Yang is from Daqi and holds a prestigious status. Whether or not he involves himself in the court affairs of Beimo, it makes no difference.

Surely, he wouldn’t come up empty in the investigation, and the Emperor wouldn’t refuse to let them return to Daqi.

If at worst the Flying Tiger Army marched to bring them back, the court would have no choice but to send them back obediently.

But no matter how indifferent, could he not be so carefree?

Why do they so much want to beat him up?!

"Brother Su, could you be a bit more serious?" Young Master Zhou said with heartache.

"This matter doesn’t just concern our future prospects but is already a matter of life and death."

Su Yang laughed, "I’ve never been more serious."

The three of them, "...."

Serious?

They wanted to beat him to death!

All six eyes of the three were fixed on Su Yang, wanting to know in which way he was being serious from head to toe. It all seemed like he was just joking with them!

Su Yang slightly twitched the corner of his mouth, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating, "The Minister of Revenue has considerable power within the court. Although many are dissatisfied with him, no one openly opposes him."

"If the three of you try to persuade anyone, it will surely be in vain."

"Even if your fathers go, the result would probably be the same."

"Only I, as the Beimo Prince Consort, can act on behalf of a brother, using my influence to awkwardly pull someone onto our side. This gives us some chance."

"...."

Impressive.

Capital I impressive.

We’ve seen those who bully with power, but never someone who proposes marriage with it.

"We can’t reach such heights," Young Master Zheng mercilessly punctured this grand plan.

Although they didn’t know who Su Yang wanted to ally with against the Minister of Revenue, anyone daring enough to make an enemy of the Minister and still stand unscathed in court was certainly no ordinary person, like the Minister of Personnel.

How could we, mere sons of minor officials, aspire to marry daughters from such high-status families? Mentioning it would surely lead to ridicule for us as toads lusting after swan meat.

Having already suffered from Brother Su’s schemes, they wouldn’t want to be ridiculed further due to his antics.

"Spare us," Young Master Zhou said weakly.

"...."

Su Yang looked at them and said, "Do you truly feel it’s beyond your reach, or are you simply unwilling to marry?"

"Beyond our reach," the three said in unison.

As for unwillingness, how could they talk about marrying when it’s beyond their reach?

Isn’t marriage supposed to be about matching social status?

If these few sons of minor officials sought to wed the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, they wouldn’t even need the Minister to act. Just the noble family members enamored with the Minister’s daughter could beat them half to death!

This is why they asked Su Yang to spare them.

Su Yang continued to eat, "Given what you’ve said, I feel reassured."

"You just need to ensure the Minister of Personnel agrees, and if one of you is chosen as his son-in-law, don’t go backing out on me."

The three were exhausted.

Who would run from marrying the Minister of Personnel’s daughter?

If they dared back out, their parents would break their legs together.

None of them gave any serious consideration to Su Yang’s words; the Minister of Personnel agreeing to marry off his daughter to them was as likely as the sun rising in the west.

Once they’d eaten and drunk their fill, Su Yang picked up the folded fan from the table and went downstairs.

He rode to the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

As the Beimo Prince Consort seeking out the Minister of Personnel, the servant let him through without announcement.

However, Su Yang did not dismount; instead, he waited at the entrance.

The Minister of Personnel hurried over and saluted, "I didn’t know the Prince Consort was coming, my apologies for not welcoming you from afar."

Su Yang dismounted, "I hope I’m not inconveniencing you, Lord Minister, by showing up unannounced?"

"Not at all, not at all," the Minister of Personnel said hastily.

"But might I ask why the Prince Consort has come?"

Su Yang smiled, "I’m here on behalf of a brother to propose a marriage alliance."

The Minister of Personnel, "...??? "

The Prince Consort’s brother?

It’s definitely not about the Ninth Prince of Daqi and the others.

The Minister of Personnel wouldn’t have considered it to be those like Young Master Zhou. He invited Su Yang inside for a chat.
