Ning Prince's Mansion.

The guards at the door looked at the people in front of them and couldn't believe what they said, because these people actually called themselves envoys of the Great Chu.

When these people enter the city, they will naturally leave registration information at the city gate guard. If someone really entered Yuzhou as an envoy of the court, they would have already reported to the Ning Prince's Mansion.

So it can only be said that these people are either fake or come in as other identities.

If the latter dares to show their identity only after coming in, it only means that they are cautious along the way.

The guards at the door did not dare to delay such a thing, and hurried into the Ning Prince's Mansion to report.

About two minutes later, Hong Sirui and others were already sitting in the living room of the Ning Prince's Mansion.

However, King Ning Li Chi did not see them. The person who was talking to them was Mr. Yan Qing, the current governor of Yuzhou.

After only two minutes of chatting, Hong Sirui and others stood up to say goodbye. Yan Qingzhi asked them to stay for dinner, but was also refused.

Hong Sirui said, I'm really sorry, I'm not ready to give you a cup of tea.

Mr. Yan said that it doesn’t matter. Toasting is the duty of the host. If the guest doesn’t drink it, the host cannot punish the host.

Mr. Yan invited them to live in Guanyi, but they did not refuse this. They had already revealed their identity, so it would be good to live anywhere, and there was no need to make plans for the retreat.

When you move into the official post, Ning Jun will naturally protect it, but will be more at ease.

Two more hours later, the backyard of the shop.

Yang You knelt on one knee in front of Prince Wu: "Prince, Prince Ning did not see Lord Hong, so he only stayed in Prince Ning's mansion for two minutes before saying goodbye."

Prince Wu nodded. He could guess that King Ning would not rush to see the envoys sent by the court.

And even if he didn't see him, King Ning was so smart, he should have guessed what the imperial court's purpose was to send envoys over at this time.

Since you can guess, why bother to argue?

"Who have you met?"

Prince Wu asked.

"The governor of Yuzhou, surnamed Yan."

Prince Wu asked again: "How do you think of this person?"

Yang You pondered for a moment and replied: "The academic attitude is impressive."

Prince Wu smiled and said, "Do you know, why do you see the people of Ning Jun that you all have a kind of demeanor?"

Yang You thought for a longer time this time, and then replied: "Because of confidence."

Prince Wu said, "You can see this layer more thoroughly than many important officials of the court. They still feel that the people on Prince Ning Li Chi's side are just a group of mud legs that cannot be reached, and are a group of lowly and ugly inferior people."

Yang You said: "After entering the Ning Palace, everyone you see has a demeanor that should be disgusting but cannot be disgusted."

Prince Wu said: "You should have disgusted it, but you can't hate it because you usually look down at people. Now that you look up at people, you feel uncomfortable. Maybe in no time, you can't look up at people, but you have to look up at people."

Yang You didn't know how to reply to this sentence for a while. When he came, the King Ning who had imagined in his mind was a villain's success. The minister of King Ning was a group of villains.

"Is it scary?"

Prince Wu asked.

Yang You nodded: "It's scary, they... can actually treat us with a normal mind."

Prince Wu said: "You really can see thoroughly. I have always said that Brother Li is not afraid of it, and Yang Xuanji is just like this. It is because they all have a sense of complacency, but the people from Ning King Li Chi's side look at us, look at them, and look at anyone, are normal."

He slowly let out a sigh: "If you have the chance, I really want to sit down and chat with King Ning Li Chi. I want to see what kind of person is that can influence so many people... I see the world, the appearance of sentient beings, half of the demons, half of the cattle and horse, killing demons, saving cows and horses, and beings are equal. This is their belief, the belief given to them by King Ning Li Chi."

Yang You was worried: "The prince should leave Yuzhou City as soon as possible. If something goes wrong..."

Prince Wu said, "I know, go back, just protect Lord Hong... Now, Lord Hong is one of the few pure ministers in this court."

Official post.

Someone sent an invitation to Hong Sirui, but Hong Sirui didn't read it, probably guessing that it would be an invitation from a certain important official under King Ning.

King Ning would not meet him casually, but he would definitely arrange for important officials to meet him, and always give each other a chance to test.

But he didn't want to go, he had to have the attitude of the court.

He threw the invitation on the table and did not look at it anymore. He sat there thinking for a long time, thinking about how to protect the four words that Prince Wu had explained to him after seeing King Ning in the future... The court was decent.

After a long time, he glanced at the invitation, picked it up and opened it. After only a few glances, his face changed and he quickly ordered his subordinates to prepare the car.

Not long after, Songhe Tower.

Hong Sirui, who got off the carriage, saw the old man standing at the door waiting for him at a glance. He immediately accelerated his pace and leaned over when he was still far away: "Please forgive me, sir, the student is late."

President Gao looked at the gray-haired student in front of him and was a little dazed for a moment.

"You... are so old."

Hong Sirui arrived in front of President Gao and bowed over solemnly: "Sir, have you been together for many years, are you okay?"

President Gao helped him: "Okay, let's go in and talk."

Not long after, in the private room, Hong Sirui asked his subordinates to withdraw. After only two people were left in the room, he lifted his robe and knelt down: "Greetings to sir."

He did not kneel in front of others because he was an important minister of the court and President Gao was his mentor, but President Gao was a man from the rebels. He knelt down and humiliated the court's decency.

There are no outsiders at this time, and kneeling down is a respect for the teacher and the Tao.

After he bowed, President Gao reached out and helped him up: "Sit down and talk, are all the family members good? Is the show good?"

What he asked was Hong Sirui's wife, and the marriage between the two of them, and I also had to thank Dean Gao for helping him out.

So for Hong Sirui, President Gao is not only his mentor, but also his matchmaker.

In this case, Gao Xining should have inherited something, but she has not been fully inherited because she has not succeeded yet.

"Everything is good, all is good."

Hong Sirui's eyes were a little wet: "Mr. looks very energetic and strong."

President Gao said: "Life is comfortable and your health is good."

He glanced at Hong Sirui, who was over 20 years younger than him, but he was already hunched over.

"I didn't expect you to come."

President Gao sighed: "Before I left Daxing City, you had already resigned and went home. When you left Daxing City, you didn't come to see me off. I thought, you probably had already gone away."

Hong Sirui apologized: "The student had indeed resigned and returned home at that time. I didn't know that the teacher left Daxing City. At that time, the eunuch party was in power and the court was in chaos. The student could not be a vocation."

President Gao asked: "When will it be restored?"

Hong Sirui was silent for a moment and answered truthfully: "Before coming."

When President Gao heard these three words, his face looked a little bad, and his heart became depressed.

Before coming... the emperor chose another loyal minister and a pure minister, and ran to the enemy's territory to die?

When it is time to reuse, I can't remember this person. When someone needs to die, I will remember those pure ministers who can be used.

This human heart is not as good as a jackal, tiger and leopard.

When President Gao no longer had unconditional respect for the so-called power of the Great Chu emperor, all he saw was the sinister hearts left.

"Tell me."

President Gao said: "What is the attitude of the court and what the emperor is thinking? If I can't even explain it, I don't have to see King Ning anymore. I will arrange a gift to send you back."

If you don’t say it in front of Mr. Yan, you will still say the same thing, because you must maintain the dignity of the court.

But in front of President Gao, Hong Sirui had to say that he was his old teacher.

"Your Majesty means...If King Ning is willing to send troops to restrain the rebel Yang Xuanji and force Yang Xuanji not to attack the capital easily, Your Majesty is willing... Your Majesty is willing to cede land with King Ning and rule. To the north of the Chi River, Your Majesty will give it to King Ning."

"let?"

President Gao looked at Hong Sirui: "How can I explain this word "Tao?"

Hong Sirui sighed, "There is no explanation, the more he explains, the less decent it becomes.

President Gao said: "It sounds like the emperor has made a great decision, lowered his great figure, and given it to King Ning..."

He looked at Hong Sirui: "I know your nature and you also know that you stick to it, so I don't advise you to surrender to King Ning, but these words are really jokes."

President Gao said slowly: "The emperor is no longer qualified to give in, but King Ning has the confidence to not give in."

Hong Sirui smiled bitterly.

"Sir, if you are willing to come at this time, you should understand your disciple's intentions. Therefore, if these gentlemen think it is ridiculous, the students have to use the most serious attitude to say it seriously in front of King Ning."

He looked at Dean Gao: "What duty should a person have? It was taught by the teacher. Did he forget it?"

President Gao shook his head: "I haven't forgotten."

He picked up the wine pot, and Hong Sirui quickly got up and wanted to pour wine for President Gao. President Gao refused: "Come away, I should entertain you, sit down peacefully."

After pouring two glasses of wine, Dean Gao raised his glass: "To your duty."

Hong Sirui held the cup in both hands, his eyes turned redder: "Thank you, sir."

Both of them drank the wine and then fell into silence.
