King's favor is hard to do

Du Yuzhang really didn't want to mention Li Guangning, so he stopped Han Yuan from talking.He had talked a lot just now, and his cough was a bit severe, and it took a while for him to subside.

Han Yuan, who was originally eloquent, also stopped talking and stopped mocking him.

Han Yuan waited quietly, and when he looked at Du Yuzhang, his eyes became more complicated.It seems to be a little regretful, and it seems to be a little bit unwilling for him.

Instead, Du Yuzhang himself didn't care.He took a breath and asked,

"Master Han, do you have any wine?"

"Yes, there is. But no matter how good the wine is, it will eventually have acrid gas, which will hurt the lungs. Mr. Du, with your current body, if you drink again, you will suffer."

Du Yuzhang smiled, propped himself up and sat up straight.But his vitality was so bad that he couldn't sit still, so he leaned back against the cell wall.This day, the prison is underground, the environment is humid, and there are some damp and moldy spots on the walls.Han Yuan pulled out the futon from behind his buttocks and put it behind his back.Du Yuzhang did not refuse, and let him serve him.

"Before I die, I, Du Yuzhang, can still be served in person by the mighty and powerful Mr. Han."

"Where does all this nonsense come from?"

Han Yuan rolled his eyes,

"What kind of power am I, Han Yuan? How dare I compare with Mrs. Du? He is a traitorous official, but because I have a good way of collecting money, those idiots have to rush to me to get a piece of the pie? Hmph, what do I have? The solution? As a traitor, can you survive without forming cliques?"

"Haha...cough cough...it makes sense. People like me, Du Yuzhang, bear the name of a powerful minister and have no cronies, so it's really hard for me to move forward."

"Come on. No one knows who your Du Yuzhang's backer is. Holding your thigh is equivalent to hugging your majesty's thigh. If you want cronies, I, Han Yuan, will be the first to kneel down and beg you to take him in."

"Master Han really thinks so?"

"Seriously. Master Du, is there any shortage of disciples? I will change schools and ask you to be my mentor. Shu Xiu cannot do without you. Don't forget to support me in the future!"

"Haha."

Du Yuzhang let out a wry smile and leaned back on the futon.He narrowed his eyes and shook his head.

Han Yuan was originally joking.Seeing him like this, his expression became strange.He thought for a while, then spoke softly,

"Could it be... or because of His Majesty?"

"..."

"Actually, I have been a little puzzled for a long time. As the prime minister, you, Mr. Du, are favored by His Majesty—how can there be no one available? I'm afraid that if you say a word of kindness, the gang of courtiers will rush towards you like crazy .Even if you look down on them, Dayan always has a few decent officials. Following you, not only the backing is strong, but also there is no great resistance if you want to do something serious. Selling your father and yourself—that’s all a false name! Who would take it seriously? How come you don't even have anyone available around you, dragging you to where you are today?"

"I didn't speak because I couldn't."

Han Yuan's expression changed.

They are all smart people. Speaking of this, what else do you not understand?

"Sure enough, it's because of His Majesty. His Majesty doesn't want you to say that. He wants you to be isolated and helpless in the court. It's hard to make an inch of merit. You can only live on his breath in this life. But he never thought about it. A tiger came in, and he wanted to pull out the claws of the tiger—that tiger would be eaten by the wolves in one bite. If he doesn’t give you a backing, can you be difficult, because he doesn’t know what to do?”

Du Yuzhang smiled and shook his head.
