Can't afford to gamble

Long Ban knelt in front of the dragon case, lowered his head and pleaded guilty, "Your Majesty has committed a crime, please forgive me."

Long Yi's expression was serious, he had messed up his errand this time.

No matter what, he never expected that Jing Ninghou, who usually seldom made a sound in the court hall, would suddenly make a horizontal move.

Originally, the emperor wanted Du Xiang to enter the court again, but he didn't expect that there would be a deviation because of his lack of consideration.

Although Du Xiang was released from the prison, he was dismissed as a civilian. This was not ordered by the emperor, and it was also the reason for Long Yi to plead guilty.

"That's all!" Emperor Huangfu Rui waved his hand to get him up.

This kind of thing was beyond his expectation, so how could he blame Long Yi for not thinking carefully.

However, this matter can be regarded as a crooked hit.

Originally, he wanted to let go of the military power of Marquis Jing Ning and let Du Xiang continue to serve in the imperial court. Otherwise, with the combination of Wen and Wu, the two families of powerful ministers, it is impossible for him, the emperor, to feel at ease.

It's just that the current situation has become the current situation.

Huangfu Rui waved his hand to make Long Yi retreat first, he had to think carefully about what to do next.

It's just that what happened to him was unexpected. During the court meeting on the second day, Jing Ninghou actually did something unexpected for everyone.

Huangfu Rui caressed his forehead, he couldn't figure it out and had no choice but to ask Long Yi to invite Yang Xiuning into the palace.

"What's going on with Hou Jingning?"

Huangfu Rui sent out the people who served him early on, and the novice brought tea to Yang Xiuning and sat down beside him.

Due to his status, he would never be able to treat Yang Xiuning as a master and apprentice, but it is not difficult to see from the occasional small details that he is also a person who respects his teachers.

Yang Xiuning took the tea, took a sip, and frowned in dissatisfaction.

This tea is a little bit worse than last time.

After taking a sip, he had no intention of paying back, put down the teacup and turned to look at Huangfu Rui with a slightly raised brow.

"Isn't that exactly what you want?"

He knew exactly what Huangfu Rui was afraid of, not to mention that Jing Ninghou's matter was more or less his handwriting.

"Zhezi is under pressure. If he really wants to take it off, I won't stop him, but now is not the time."

Internal worries are still unresolved, if Xiao Fan is asked to step down at this time, he can't guarantee that the person he arranges will be able to step up smoothly, if something goes wrong, it will not be easy for others.

Yang Xiuning couldn't help curling his lips, when did this guy become so insincere, obviously he couldn't tolerate others, and when he said it out of his mouth, he tried his best to persuade others to leave.

"I'm not kidding you!"

Huangfu Rui was also anxious, sighed, and stopped putting on the emperor's airs, his tone was full of helplessness.

"Could it be that these people, you haven't even cultivated your confidantes at the border."

There are many people who can be generals in the court, but the relationship between them is so intricate that no one can be completely assured of the emperor's employment, let alone at a time when one mistake can cause the whole game to be lost.

He can't afford to gamble!

Yang Xiuning looked like he had nothing to do with himself, touched the teacup with his hand, as if he remembered something, but he didn't take it after all.

"What the hell do you think?"

Seeing him like this, Huangfu Rui couldn't get angry. For so many years, he thought he understood the people around him, but he had never figured out his thoughts.

"Don't think that I don't know, you went to Jingning Hou Mansion yesterday."

He didn't believe that Yang Xiuning had only been to the Hou Mansion the other day, and today Xiao Fan was handing over the booklet, the two had nothing to do with each other.
