In the second year of the Northern Qi River Qing Dynasty, 563 AD. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as winter began, Yecheng ushered in a goose feather snowfall.

The snowflakes are flying, sprinkled one after another, like a feast for Liu Ziye to catch the wind and wash the dust, and the white expanse has become a world covered in silver. A gentleman like Liu Ziye, even as a peace envoy, is very flamboyant, with a tall horse, a red drape, and the wind and snow embellishment a little clear crystal light on his white fur collar. Immediately, the man walked against the wind with the envoy's personal soldiers on the official road into Yecheng, gray and cloudy, the cold was biting, a little scarlet, from far to near, like a wildfire.

The people on the side of the road stopped and looked at Liu Ziye, the prince of the Song Dynasty, in the ranks. Although it is not a stunning country, the slightly hooked corners of the mouth and the high jaw line are all a trace of charm and flying unruly, without a little panic, no little heart ape and horse wavering and fear, and he does not put his position above the humility of the tributary country at all. Seeing that the girls on both sides of the street were quietly watching him, she squinted her eyes slightly, and teased the girl to hide her face and be shy. Since Liu Ziye entered Yecheng, the city of wind and snow seems to have become his background, believing in the reins, dignified and lofty, stepping on the snow to find plums, and a touch of smelting color can't hide his arrogance.

"Heh, this is the Yongguang prince Liu Ziye?" Gao Zhan stood on the wall of the palace and stopped to look into the distance. He saw from a distance that among the Song people who were winding up, the vibrant red was very dazzling. Getting closer, the man on the horse attracted the frequent sideways of passers-by.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is Liu Ziye, the prince of Yongguang. Zu Ting, who was standing behind the emperor, bowed and replied.

"It is rumored that this person is uninhibited, drunk all day long, dreams and death, and does not learn anything, I thought it was how to get a wine bag and rice bag, but now that I see it, his courage is extraordinary!" Gao Zhan said with a sneer.

Zu Ting also looked at the street, and the old treacherous and cunning squinted his eyes and nodded, and smiled, and said: "Yes, yes, I saw that the Song people who escorted the tribute before entered Yecheng were all dejected like frightened birds, and the southerners were cowardly, I didn't think there would be a bold guy like Liu Ziye." It seems that if you want to coerce and scare him into signing the terms of ceding the city and land, it is not easy to capture!"

"That's not necessarily!" Gao Zhan raised his hand and said lightly, "Order someone to open the palace gate and welcome Liu Ziye to meet you!"

"Yes!" the general next to him ordered.

Dongfeng Gate opened, and the Yecheng Imperial Palace stood majestically at the end of the official road.

Dismounted, and the stunning look on the face of the oncoming minister made this merry Liu Ziye look at it, and his eyes were full of amazement.

"Prince Yongguang has worked hard all the way, and he has been waiting here for a long time. Murong greeted Liu Ziye in front of Dongfeng Gate with his official robe. The snowflakes fell, and they were silently contaminated with the ice flowers on the beauty's body, and the charming eyes blinked slightly, and then shook off the snow petals on the eyelashes and turned into mist, making this beautiful jade flawless face more hazy beauty.

"There is Lord Lao, this wind and snow are heavy, how can Liu Ziye let such a beauty wait, it is really a blessing for three lives!" Liu Ziye said jokingly, before he met the emperor of Qi, he began to tease the minister in front of him. The ceremonial official behind Murong Chong lowered his head and couldn't help laughing, His Majesty the Emperor's beauty trick is really wonderful! In the middle of it, Liu Ziye saw that the first beauty of the Northern Dynasty had already lost his mind, and a pair of eyes did not move away from Murong Chong's body.

Murong Chong was slightly stunned, and immediately accepted his unhappy look, pretending not to notice Liu Ziye's teasing, but still raised his hand generously and led the way: "Lord Wang, please, Your Majesty is waiting to see you in the palace." ”

The beauty was calm and calm, and Liu Ziye was even more interested when he looked at it. I didn't expect that in addition to the king of Nalanling in Northern Qi, there were such peerless people. So he nodded, and followed Murong Chong and the ministers of the Ministry of Rites to meet the saint, his own soldiers could only stay outside the Dongfeng Gate, and the few entourages who followed Liu Ziye into the palace were confiscated weapons before they could meet the emperor of Qi together.

In the Wenchang Palace, Gao Zhan, who was sitting on the ninety-five position, smiled slightly, and watched Liu Ziye, the envoy of the Song State, walk up to the court.

The Gao family of the Northern Qi Dynasty is as handsome as possible, Liu Ziye looked up, this is true, seeing that the emperor of Qi is also a talent, although he is gloomy and shrewd and calculating, but his appearance is handsome, and his cold eyebrows are outstanding, which can be regarded as a unique charm. It's just that he was overlooked from such a high level, although he was smiling, Liu Ziye still felt like he was being projected into a huge shadow, some of the majesty of Mount Tai, and the people behind him all lowered their heads and trembled, and only Liu Ziye in front of him dared to stare at the emperor of Qi above like this.

"Ahem, Lord Wang, don't stare like this, pay attention to etiquette, etiquette!" The Song Dynasty official, who was already a little nervous, couldn't stand it, pulled Liu Ziye's sleeve in front of him, and whispered closer to remind. They are here to sue for peace, and the prince of Yongguang has already been rude to the minister who receives the wind before, and he is still crossing above the court of Qi like this, he is really more and more afraid, and he can't help but wet his back with cold sweat.

Scold...... Liu Ziye glanced at the ceremonial officials who came with him playfully, and he was worried, since the emperor of Qi had received dozens of carts of tribute, where would there be a reason to disagree with Xiu He and turn his face. However, this Emperor of Qi seems to be scheming, I'm afraid it's not so easy to satisfy the master!

Gao Zhan on the dragon chair and Liu Ziyefu, who came from the dragon chair, smelled each other as soon as they looked at each other, Gao Zhan smiled, laughed deeply, Liu Ziye smiled, bowed his head and saluted, and also put on a posture of soldiers to block the water and cover the earth, the so-called chess opponent, will meet a good talent.

"Liu Ziye, the envoy of the Song State, has seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Qi Dynasty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" Liu Ziye saluted loudly, neither humble nor arrogant, as if he was reuniting old friends, and the two sides were happy, which was very different from the entourage officials behind him who bent down and bowed their heads in the cold winter and had beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Interesting...... Gao Zhan pursed his lips and chuckled, then raised his hand and said slowly: "Prince Yongguang is polite, he has come all the way from Jiankang to Yecheng, he has really worked hard and worked hard. ”

"Dissatisfied with Your Majesty, I rarely go far in Xia, and this is the first time I have entered the realm of the Northern Dynasty. Ben and my majesty pushed the road to this mountain high road, I Liu Ziye am afraid that I can't bear the hardship of this trek, but my majesty in the next thousand told this trip is related to the prospect of reconciliation between my Song country and Qi country, thousands of people hope that the two countries can turn the war into a jade silk Since then the four seas have been peaceful, and below is the first idle prince of this dynasty, there is no way, I can only be a mediocre person to take on this heavy responsibility. Thinking that His Majesty of Qi is so wise and famous, he will definitely not embarrass Ziye in the matter of reconciliation between the two countries, so that I, the first idler in Jiankang who can't do big things and can't get ideas, will mess up and show his foreign appearance!" Liu Ziye said straight to the point.

。。。。。。 Liu Ziye was so straightforward and courageous, which made the officials listed above the court immediately discuss. Murong Chong, who was standing behind Song Envoy, was also stunned, and he thought that he was a bold nobleman in front of Dongfeng Gate, but he didn't think he was so brave and resourceful.

Gao Zhan frowned slightly, looked at the left and right sides under the steps, and then said with a smile: "Prince Yongguang is the eldest son of Emperor Xiaowu of Song, and his reputation is great, and I have long admired the great name, how can the prince be so humble? However, Lord Wang, you are in the dust, you have come from afar, I really can't bear to let you work too hard and hurt your body, since you have arrived in Yecheng, we must take it step by step, not be impatient. Look, your clothes are wet with rain and snow, and the snowflakes have not yet melted, so hard, if I don't let the prince rest first, and then feast on all of you who have traveled from afar, I really can't bear it!"

Gao Zhan said with a smile, and immediately resolved the tension of Liu Ziye, Liu Ziye looked at Gao Zhan, frowned, and knew in his heart that the emperor of Qi did not have such a simple thing to make peace.

According to the etiquette, when a foreign country comes to the court, he must first feast for three days, and only after the envoys have adapted to the local water and soil, adjusted their bodies, and relieved the fatigue and toiling of the journey. Zu Xiang came out of the ranks, smiled and wrinkled an old face and said to Liu Ziye.

Gao Zhan nodded, very agreeing, and asked downward, "Has the Ministry of Etiquette arranged the place for the distinguished guests to stay and the reception banquet?"

"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged. Prince Yongguang stayed in Xiandu Garden, and his entourage and soldiers would stay in the Sifang Pavilion. In order not to disturb the rest of the Yongguang prince, the Chinese dining will let the imperial dining room be sent to the Xiandu Garden, and in the evening, it is a grand banquet for the VIPs from the Song Kingdom to receive the wind and wash the dust. The itinerary for the next few days has been arranged by the subordinates, and it will make the guests of the Song Kingdom feel at home, and it is worth the trip!" Gao Xiaoyu said respectfully.

Gao Zhan nodded with satisfaction, and Liu Ziye hooked the corners of his mouth when he heard it, and smiled meaningfully. If the Qi State treated them with arrogance and cold eyes, he would not have to be so nervous, which means that they are already satisfied with the treasures and grains that have entered the treasury. At this moment, such a situation of enthusiasm and difficulty, this Gao Zhan is desperately opening the bag to fill them in, what is the intention, but it is impossible to prevent it!

"This 。。。。。。 Weichen dared to report to His Majesty the Emperor of Qi that it was unreasonable for Prince Yongguang to stay in the palace alone, could our country send a few more guards。。。。。。 Song Guoliguan, who was so frightened that his clothes were wet before, actually objected at this moment, and after speaking, he glanced at Gao Zhan tremblingly, and lowered his head again.

"Hahaha, don't be nervous. My Qi country is a state of etiquette, and letting the prince live in the palace must be a good life, and he dare not have a trace of neglect. Besides, if the Lord is concerned about the safety of the Prince of Yongguang, then there is no need to worry, my palace is impregnable, and not a single mosquito will fly into the prince's bedroom. Although the Sifang Pavilion is also a post house set up by the imperial court, it is crowded with people, and recently many homeless people in Yecheng have taken advantage of the heavy snow to enter, and I also arranged it for the safety of the prince. Do you have any objections?"

Gao Zhan's abruptly lowered voice startled the minister behind Liu Ziye.

"This 。。。。。。 Before the minister could speak again, Liu Ziye stopped in front of him, hugged his fists and thanked: "Thank you Your Majesty for your trouble, since you have come to Yecheng, you can follow the host, so you will naturally listen to Your Majesty's arrangement." ”

"Hahaha, the prince is really an interesting person, I am willing to deal with someone like the Yongguang prince who knows and understands! Okay! Lord Murong, as the minister of the wind, the prince has been accompanied by you in the past few days in Yecheng, and the distinguished guests must not be lazy when they come to the court!" Gao Zhan said to Murong Chong in the palace.

"Obey the order! The minister should do his best!" Murong Chong commanded.

"Lord Murong?。。。。。。 Liu Ziye looked back at the dusty beauty, and said suspiciously, "I was curious just now, how could this Northern Qi have such an outstanding adult! Who 。。。。。。is this Lord Murong ？”

Gao Zhan saw that the fish had already bitten the hook, so he generously introduced: "This is the world-famous first beauty of the Northern Dynasty, Lord Murong Chong, Prince Yongguang has never seen such a peerless person?"

"Your Majesty。。。。。。 False praise。。。。。。 Murong Chong listened to the mixed tastes and said softly. And as soon as his voice came out, he was overshadowed by Liu Ziye's exclamation: "It turned out to be Lord Murong Chong! It's really better to hear than to see, and to get this side is the luck of three lives, and there is no waste in this life! Your Majesty arranged it this way, and let the famous Lord Murong come to pick up the wind and wash the dust in the next place, which really made Ziye panic and couldn't help sighing, Ziye would never be able to repay His Majesty's Longen if he died!" Liu Ziye sighed for a long time, and made a very exaggerated confession. Gao Zhan was very satisfied when he heard it, and the ministers in the court watched it as if they were watching a good show, this Liu Ziye's good male character was well known in the Song Kingdom, and sure enough, this Murong Chong poked his life, and when he saw it, he was already so soulless.

"Since Lord Murong and the prince are so close to each other, it is not in vain that I have carefully arranged it! Very good, very good! Prince, you are in the dust, rain and snow, it is better to enter the Xiandu Garden first to have a good rest, and we will have a good time at the dinner." Although it is the first time I have met the prince, I really feel that I can talk about sympathy and sympathy, and in the evening, I will definitely give the prince a good reception!

Gao Zhan laughed and said, Liu Ziye was also full of joy and hugged his fists. His Majesty the Emperor left the dragon couch and was about to retreat from the court, but found that when Liu Ziye's eyes were relaxed, he was sweeping among the generals listed in the court. Gao Zhan suddenly seemed to think of something, and a trace of displeasure appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Lord Murong, Your Highness Henan, take the prince to the palace where you are staying, don't let the prince stand for a long time. Gao Zhan said coldly.

"Yes!" After the two received the order, they took Liu Ziye down. Liu Ziye's cunning and sharp gaze before was actually restrained at this moment, and he had already turned around, but he still didn't forget to linger among the ministers who walked away one by one, as if he was looking for something.

Gao Zhan's eyes were cold, and he was right to let Chang Gong not have to go to court today.
