King's favor is hard to do

Du Yuzhang's expression changed.Han Yuan didn't seem to care, and casually ordered a few dishes for Du Yuzhang.

"Lord Du wants to ask, why do I know? Heh... I just took advantage of the opportunity to handle the case for His Majesty, and I knew about it a few days ago. But Lord Du, after all, paper cannot contain fire. Now you are still secretly weaving wires and weaving nets, You can hide it for a while; when you make a move, who else can you hide from?"

Seeing that Du Yuzhang's expression became tense, Han Yuan also sat up straight.

"That Mu Lang, is your senior brother? He lived in your house for so many years, and you can't get rid of it. Now, he is moving around in the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, and he is still playing in the name of your Du family. You want to say that you don't care about this matter." Know?"

"Master Han, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Lord Du, what I want to say is—one mistake will cause eternal hatred, and looking back, it has been a hundred years. No matter whether you can do it or not, it will be a dead end in the end. Master Du, you are so young and promising, so romantic , I have been struggling for three years as the prime minister, is it almost the same? Why go all the way to the dark?"

"Master Han's words are wrong. I, Du Yuzhang, have been an extremely powerful minister in the past three years, with great power, so it's hard to say whether it's hard or not."

"Oh."

Han Yuan rolled his eyes and didn't bother to answer.He poured himself another glass of wine,

"Lord Du, this wine is very delicious. You really don't want to drink it? Also, take these peaches away."

"..."

Peach is not such a rare fruit.But it is produced in the hinterland of Yuzhou, so the amount of manpower wasted in such a long journey to the capital is incalculable.

"This……"

"Take it away, take it away, I don't like to eat this thing. It's sweet, it's a hairy mouth, and I don't know what it's delicious - if Mr. Du doesn't like it, then take it to the yamen and give it to Bai... to someone else .”

"If you don't like to eat, why spend a lot of manpower to transport it from Yuzhou?"

"...How can there be so many reasons, what a shame."

Du Yuzhang hesitated for a moment, but remembered that during the chat before, Bai Jiaoran seemed to have mentioned that he grew up in Yuzhou when he was young.Never forget the taste of the country, he will probably like this.

"Alright, thank you, Mr. Han. Mr. Han, if you have nothing else to do, Du will leave first." Du Yuzhang stood up with a peach in his hand, "I also know what you mean. Over there, Mr. Bai, I'll pay attention."

"Master Du, wait!"

Du Yuzhang has already arrived at the door.Hearing this, he stopped.

"What else can Mr. Han order?

"...I also have a younger sister in the countryside. Although it is not a shameful thing to talk about, but she is knowledgeable and interesting, and has a lot of money. The most important thing is that my sister has a good temper and knows how to love others—I know For a long time, she hasn't seen him do anything to anyone."

As Han Yuan said, his eyes passed over Du Yuzhang's bruised and swollen fingers without leaving a trace.

"Otherwise, I'll be the master and betroth her to you. Mrs. Du, you are neither ugly nor stupid...why hang yourself on a tree?"

Du Yuzhang turned around and left.Han Yuan's voice came from behind,

"If you don't like my sister, my brother is fine too! Master Du! Nephew, niece—what do you want? Anyone from Han can have it!"

……

Du Yuzhang did not return to the Prime Minister's Mansion.He came to the mansion again, and in the darkness, he looked around at the books and desks around him.

Those nine officials and Bai Jiaoran all work here.At this moment, everyone has gone home, and the brushes are placed on the pen holder casually, and the ink marks are still there.Some files were still open on their desks.

"That's right. They all have family history... If they are involved at will, there will always be people who will worry."

Du Yuzhang murmured to himself and smiled wryly,

"I was negligent. I forgot that not everyone is like me, and it doesn't matter if you live or die."

Du Yuzhang returned to his study and lit a candle.He stepped on the messy floor and gathered all the documents related to the hinterland of Jiangnan in one place. With such a large workload, if other people were not involved, he would have to spend sleepless nights and forget about eating and drinking to keep up with the progress.

Candle tears dripped along the candlestick, and gradually dripped onto the table.The night was thick, and the early morning cold air rushed up, making Du Yuzhang's hands and feet cold.

He didn't expect to hear the door knock at this time.When he looked up, it was Li Guangning who pushed the door in.A gust of wind blew through, and the open door was slammed shut with a loud noise.This gust of cool wind also caused Du Yuzhang to shake Lingling into a cold war.

"His Majesty?!"

Li Guangning's body shook a little.He leaned against the door and looked at Du Yuzhang with an unpredictable expression.

The wind made the candle flames dance, Li Guangning's face was ugly and his eyes were bloodshot.He also looked like he hadn't slept all night.

"Du Qing, I knew you were here."

Li Guangning walked over staggeringly, stepped on the broken porcelain on the ground, and made a grinding sound that made teeth ache.He bumped into the desk again, his figure swayed, but he didn't fall.Du Yuzhang watched him approaching step by step, and smelled a little alcohol.

Li Guangning was the most difficult to deal with when he was drunk.

And here is the prime minister's office, where Du Yuzhang works.Today is different from the past, and now these colleagues are here every day, and they will come in to get any files they need.If he has been entangled with Li Guangning for a long time, I'm afraid that when his colleagues come in tomorrow, they will find some clues.

At that time, how should he, the prime minister, convince the public?Even if he doesn't care about face, he still has to assign these people to work for him now!

The more Du Yuzhang thought about it, the colder he felt.But he didn't dare to disobey, he could only greet him with a smile,

"Your Majesty. Why are you here?"

Du Yuzhang just wanted to coax Li Guangning out of the mansion.He forced a smile and went forward, "I got some high-quality peaches today. Why don't your majesty follow me back to the mansion and taste this Yuzhou specialty?"

As Du Yuzhang spoke, he passed by Li Guangning calmly and headed towards the door.But he didn't want to, a powerful big hand suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.

"what……"

Du Yuzhang was caught off guard and fell directly into Li Guangning's arms.Li Guangning's strong arms directly held him in his arms,

"Du Qing, why are you running?"
