King's favor is hard to do

"Your Majesty, the Ximan said that they sent an envoy, but in fact it was their young master, the vanguard general of the entire Ximan army! He came to my Dayan not for peace talks at all, but for surveying the terrain. Waiting for an opportunity to invade our territory!"

Du Yuzhang held his breath.At this moment, what he thought of was not his own safety, but, if Bai Zhiyue's words were true and the person who came was really the young master of Ximan, then this matter really matters!Not only is it related to the peace talks between Dayan and Ximan, but it is also related to Dayan's homeland security!

Even Li Guangning put away his banter.He slowly sat up straight and looked down at Du Yuzhang.he asked softly,

"Is there such a thing?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know many foreign countries... But if it is the young master who really came, Your Majesty, you must not be negligent..."

Before he finished speaking, Du Yuzhang suddenly became agitated.Li Guangning actually stepped on his injured hand, and the piercing pain suddenly hit him.

"Can't recognize your identity? Do you still think that you are the prime minister of Dayan in the court?"

"His Majesty……"

"Now, you are a plaything kneeling at my feet. Don't talk too much, just say what I ask you."

The two ends of the screen are far apart.Li Guangning and Du Yuzhang's whispered words could not be heard on the other side.But Bai Zhiyue also found that the silence was too long.He simply struck while the iron was hot, and continued,

"Besides, this barbarian young master didn't just come here to explore the terrain! He's a masculine man, and he even had an affair with Du Yuzhang!"

"I didn't... um!"

Before Du Yuzhang opened his mouth, Li Guangning put more strength on his feet - different from the previous punitive light stepping, this time even Du Yuzhang himself heard the knuckles snapping, almost breaking!

Du Yuzhang trembled from the pain, but covered his mouth, not daring to make a sound.Li Guangning's voice was as cold as ice,

"Bai Zhiyue! Do you have evidence for your statement?"

"That barbarian said that he had admired Du Yuzhang's appearance for a long time when he was in Ximan. This time, he will take Du Yuzhang back and be his slave in the tent of the young master of Ximan! Your Majesty, that barbarian is not enlightened. It's completely different from our customs in the Central Plains. The so-called slaves in the tent are not slaves at all, but rather like concubines—if he hadn't had an affair with Du Yuzhang, how could he have such an idea?"

"That's right!" The Minister of Rites also said, "Your Majesty's words are correct! When I first got the news, I thought it was a wrong transmission. But I searched through the records about Ximan, and the slave in the tent is indeed Serve the master with the body, and even have a son born to a slave in the tent, and finally become the leader of the tribe! So..."

"Who asked you this!"

Li Guangning roared, frightening the courtiers to kneel down.

"I ask you for evidence! When, where, and how did they meet! Is there any!"

"The ministers are still investigating—but your Majesty, so Du Yuzhang really has no affair with the barbarian, why does he insist on going his own way, and why does he want to talk together? The men in the army are training hard, wanting to avenge their shame; the common people also want revenge, Sweep away the barbarians who invaded my territory, Your Majesty! All the ministers in the court support the suppression of the barbarians by force, but he, Du Yuzhang, wants to have a joint discussion—isn’t it just humiliation and compromise with the barbarians? If he is not traitorous and seeking glory , not to have an affair with the barbarian, what is he planning?"

"Yeah, I want to know too—what is he trying to do!"

Du Yuzhang was pulled up by Li Guangning's collar - the emperor squeezed out these words from his teeth with a ferocious face.He seemed to be talking to those courtiers, but his eyes were only fixed on Du Yuzhang——

"I have warned him a long time ago, if he insists on going his own way to promote the cooperation - he will only betray his relatives, and his reputation will be ruined!"

"His Majesty?"

Bai Zhiyue felt that these words were a little strange, not like a reply to their impeachment, but more like pouring out his heart to someone.He asked cautiously,

"Then for Du Yuzhang..."

"Go and check for me! When will that barbarian come to my Dayan territory! Cut him into pieces for me! Destroy his bones and ashes!"

"Follow the order! But Du Yuzhang..."

"To shut up!"

The courtiers knelt down, not daring to breathe.

On the other side of the screen, there were bursts of strange whispers, panting and tearing sounds - as if someone was restrained and struggling continuously.
