The Emperor raised an eyebrow; this son was skilled in warfare and quite capable. Ordinarily, he both wanted to employ him and needed to guard against him.
Previously, Wanyan Zhang had an alliance with the Mu Family. Although Mr. Mu held a relatively low official position, he had served in the Imperial College for many years, and numerous ministers in the court were his students. The Mu Family was a long-standing official family, intricately connected with various powerful households.
For Wanyan Zhang, it was a significant support in the court.
Wanyan Zhang gave up on the Mu family daughter and allied with an ordinary family, which was quite to his liking.
This son was inherently unruly and hard to control. Without a strong marriage alliance, his power in court became less threatening.
The Emperor feigned helplessness, waving his hand, "You have never been obedient. Your mother picked countless brides for you, yet you refuse them, insisting on choosing one yourself."
