After a year passed satisfactorily, one day the prime minister complained of illness and did not go to court, but the emperor suddenly said that he would attack the Great Moon Kingdom.
All the ministers panicked and hurried to find the prime minister.
Not to mention that the Great Moon Kingdom has always had good relations with Daliang, and their combat power cannot be underestimated. Although they are not as good as Daliang, if they attack, only the people will suffer.
The next morning, the Prime Minister staged the collision again in public. Now that he is hitting the pillar, he is no longer as bold as before, but this performance was enough to make the emperor change his mind in the past.
I never thought that the emperor was determined to fight, and he would not listen to any persuasion.
The prime minister had no choice but to repeat the old trick.
Under the verbal guidance and encouragement of Zhongshu's attendant, the prime minister wore a gauze garment that could see everything at night and lay on his side on the dragon bed.
It was the first time for the prime minister to be so active, propping his head with his hands, as said in the book, looking up at the emperor who walked in, with long hair like a waterfall covering his chest. There are waves in the eyes, like a fox demon that charms scholars.
Through the tulle, you can also see the red marks on his body that have been sucked by the emperor in the past few days.
He expected that the emperor could change his mind for this sake.
The emperor was not a scholar, so he went to bed, lay down, patted the prime minister on the back, and said, "Go to bed early today."
The prime minister can't believe it, it's only been a year, have I fallen out of favor
Hearing the emperor's words, he lay down inside and covered himself with a dragon quilt. But he was lying on his side facing inward, weeping silently.
The sourness in my heart is unspeakable.
The heart of the emperor is like this, there is no change. The prime minister once thought that the emperor and the old emperor were different, and so was he.
The emperor fell asleep within a moment after laying down, and was still snoring. He usually doesn't snore, but today is really tiring.
A night without dreams.
The prime minister next to him never fell asleep, staring at the gauze curtain all night.
The next day before going to court, Zhongshu's attendants and other officials rushed to ask, "Prime Minister, what happened yesterday?"
The prime minister shook his head, unwilling to say any more.
All the officials sighed, but they didn't expect that even the favored prime minister could not change the emperor's mind.
But the prime minister inherited his grandfather's will, even as a favorite concubine, he could not restore the emperor's determination. As a veteran minister, he should also stop it in time at critical moments, so as not to let the emperor do the wrong thing of subjugating the country.
In the court hall, the prime minister tried to persuade him again, but the emperor still did not change his mind and said to the prime minister, "Don't mention this matter again in the future."
But the prime minister suddenly took out the dagger, aimed at the heart, and said to the emperor in the palace with firm eyes, "Today, I, Li Jingyu, will follow Bigan's example and cut my heart, hoping that the emperor can rein in the precipice."
The emperor panicked immediately, he couldn't care about anything, so he ran down from the golden hall, and all the officials also panicked, the prime minister didn't communicate with them!
The emperor ran too fast, or maybe he was too flustered, and even staggered on the steps, and said in a trembling voice while running, "Li Jingyu, calm down."
When he was two meters away from the prime minister, the prime minister moved his dagger inward again, and said, "Your Majesty, attacking the Great Moon Kingdom will do nothing but harm to Daliang."
The emperor hurriedly stopped his steps forward, with sweat streaming down his face, he stumbled and said, "Okay! I... Gu... Gu won't fight Dayue Kingdom anymore, Gu promises you!"
To appease the prime minister, "You put down the dagger first, and guarantee it alone, and guarantee it with your own throne."
He didn't expect the prime minister to do this.
Seeing the emperor's assurance, the prime minister lowered his hand holding the dagger and threw it on the ground.
Following closely behind, Zhongshu's attendant picked up the dagger under the sign of the emperor's eyes, and prevented the prime minister from taking it again.
The emperor lost his strength in an instant and almost fell to the ground. He waved his hand feebly and said, "Let's all step back."
