King's favor is hard to do

Du Yuzhang opened the letter, but nothing important was written inside.He only said to meet him in a few days.Du Yuzhang didn't know, so he wrote down the time and place, and put the letter aside.

"Housekeeper, arrange a sedan chair for me. I'm going to the official office."

"Master Xiang, don't you take a day off?" The steward was a little surprised. "A few days ago, there was a word from the palace that your majesty had left you in the palace to recuperate due to a serious illness. I just came back last night, and I saw that you were thinner." many……"

"No more rest." Du Yuzhang interrupted him, "I don't have much time left. It's important to get things done quickly."

--there is no time?Where did this start?

The butler was a little puzzled, but he also knew that although Du Yuzhang was kind, he was the most stubborn in his bones.No matter how much he persuades him, he will never change his mind.So he quickly arranged for the bearers, and ordered Du Yuzhang's attendants,

"Take the ginseng rewarded by His Majesty over there. Make it into ginseng soup, and be sure to persuade the prime minister to drink it. Remember?"

Soon, Du Yuzhang came to the government office.After only a few days of absence, the official affairs on the table piled up like a hill.

Du Yuzhang didn't complain, sat down as usual, and began to deal with government affairs.Half an hour later, he called the errand messenger and sent the replies he had prepared to the designated yamen one by one. If there were any unresolved matters, he would copy them to the officials of the relevant yamen for consideration.Several messengers kept coming and going, and the mountain-like business affairs on the table had dropped a lot with the naked eye.

"Du Xiang, take a break? The ginseng soup is ready, you can use a bowl."

"No need." Du Yuzhang didn't raise his head, "It won't be too late to drink after I finish all these important matters."

"Du Xiang, this is the ginseng bestowed by His Majesty, you should take a sip...wait a minute, it should be cold."

"It's really unnecessary. If you're afraid of the cold, I'll give you a drink."

Du Yuzhang replied casually, still only thinking about the documents in front of him.He didn't notice at all that the official office, which was originally crowded with people, was suddenly dead silent.

"Your Majesty..."

"Shh."

Li Guangning made a gesture, but no one dared to speak.Everyone held their breath and saw that the current emperor walked into the room from outside and stopped behind Du Yuzhang.Everyone had the same thing in their minds—how could it be such a coincidence that His Majesty came down just in time for Prime Minister Du to reward an attendant with the ginseng soup bestowed by the emperor?

That's a "gift from the emperor"!It is a felony to be without a monarch!

Du Yuzhang didn't notice it, and still buried his head in the pile of documents until a hand with strong bones squeezed his chin, forcing him to raise his head.

"Du Qing, you are so generous. The things I rewarded are given away as gifts!"

"His Majesty?"

Du Yuzhang's complexion changed drastically, and the brush in his hand shook heavily.A drop of ink dripped from the nib, staining the paper in front of him.

"Here comes the ginseng soup."

The little attendant was so frightened that his face paled, and he brought the ginseng soup tremblingly.Li Guangning took it in his hand, weighed it up and smiled coldly.

Then he glanced around the people in the government office - all the officials felt that the eyes were like a sharp knife cutting their faces.Who dares to stay?Everyone knelt down and said goodbye.Soon, only Li Guangning and Du Yuzhang were left.

Only then did Li Guangning cast his gaze on Du Yuzhang's face.He casually pinched Du Yuzhang's jaw,

"Du Qing, this is the ginseng bestowed by the emperor. You rewarded others casually, you really don't take me seriously, don't you?"
