After one year of happy marriage life, one random day, the Prime Minister was out sick and absent from court, the Emperor suddenly said he was going to attack Da Yue country.
The officials panicked and went to find the Prime Minister in haste.
Setting aside the fact Da Yue had always been in good relationships with Da Liang, even if Da Yue fighting prowess might not be comparable to Da Liang, it was nothing to sneeze at. If wars ensued, only the people would suffer.
Early next morning, the Prime Minister once again performed “banging head on pillar in public” show. Even though his boldness had reduced and his acting skill had become rusty, it should still be enough to move the Emperor.
But unexpectedly, the Emperor was very determined to fight and wouldn’t budge no matter what others say.
The Prime Minister had no choice but to resort to an old trick.
Under the Vice Minister of Palace Secretariat’s encouragement, that night, he wore a transparent silk dress and lie waiting on the bed.
It was the first time the Prime Minister took such an initiative. Following the instruction written in the book, he propped his head up with one hand, and when the Emperor stepped closer, he raised his eyes. Black hair like a waterfall cascaded down his chest, wet pupils rippled and sparkled, he was like an enchanting fox demon trying to seduce an innocent scholar.
Through the see-through fabric, red marks left behind by the Emperor the day before could be seen.

An Emperor’s heart is like this, there’s no changing it, no matter who it is. ((1)
The Prime Minister once thought the current Emperor and the old Emperor were different. He was also different.
The Emperor fell asleep very quickly and even snored loudly. Usually, he wouldn’t snore, but today he was really tired.
A dreamless night.
However, the Prime Minister next to him couldn’t fall asleep and kept staring at the wall through the thin curtain.
The next day, before court began, Vice Minister of Palace Secretariat and the other officials surrounded the Prime Minister, “Prime Minister, how did it go yesterday?”
The Prime Minister shook his head, not saying anything.
The officials sighed endlessly, even the doted on Prime Ministered failed to move the Emperor, who could have expected this?
The Prime Minister inherited his grandfather’s will. If he couldn’t change the Emperor’s mind as a favored consort, then as an old official, at this critical juncture, he must stop him from committing a grave mistake that could cost him the whole country.
In the hall, the Prime Minister once again attempted to dissuade the Emperor, but the Emperor didn’t want to hear it and cut him off, “Don’t bring this up anymore.”
The Prime Minister suddenly took out a dagger and pointed it at his heart, eyes full of determination, “Today I, Li Jingyu, will follow Bigan's example and only hope that Your Majesty knows to rein in the horse before the cliff.
The Emperor immediately panicked. He couldn’t care about anything else and ran down from the dragon chair. The officials were also frightened. The Prime Minister didn’t say anything about this!
Maybe because he ran too fast, or maybe because he was too flustered, the Emperor stumbled on the steps, his voice trembled, “Li Jingyu, calm down a bit.”
When he was about to come close, the Prime Minister pushed the dagger deeper, “Your Majesty, attacking Da Yue will only bring harm to Da Liang.”
The Emperor stopped, his face was covered in sweat, he stuttered, “Alright! I…I…I won’t attack Da Yue anymore, I promise!”
Then, to appease the Prime Minister further, “Put the dagger down first. I promise you. I swear it upon my throne.”
He didn’t expect that person to go this far.
After hearing the Emperor’s solemn swear, the Prime Minister finally lowered his hand and threw the dagger on the ground.
The Emperor signaled the Vice Minister of Palace Secretariat with his eyes. The person who got the hint stepped up and grabbed the dagger, preventing the Prime Minister from taking a hold of it again.
In an instant, the Emperor felt his strength left his body and almost collapsed.
He waved his hand weakly, “All of you, retreat.”
