"What? Xiao Yao has already come to Yecheng? He's out of the city right now, waiting for us to meet him? Once again, the ministers were in utter shock!

"Your Majesty, is this, is this true? That Xiao Yao, who killed countless of our Great Qi soldiers, was outside Yecheng at this time? The old minister implored Your Majesty to allow me to immediately lead the forbidden army, rush out of the city, and chop this Xiao Shilang into pulp to avenge our dead Qi soldiers! A gray-bearded minister of the main war faction said excitedly.

"Yes, this Xiao Shilang is really arrogant! Dare to be so bold, and appear outside Yecheng without a sound, it is clearly provoking our Great Qi, we should take him down in one fell swoop, and then put him to death Ling Chi, in order to boost the prestige of our Great Qi! Another minister of the main battle faction also said excitedly.

"Presumptuous! Do you not understand what I just said, or do you think my will is a nonsense? Gao Wei slammed the table again vigorously and said loudly, making the entire court quiet all of a sudden!

"I just said very clearly, I have accepted this proposal for armistice peace talks put forward by Xiao Shilang, and I also invited Xiao Shilang to come to Yecheng to negotiate with us in person, and now Xiao Shilang is also outside the city, and he has shown us his sincerity for peace talks! And what did you guys just say? actually asked me to take this opportunity to kill Xiao Yao, do you still want to continue to fight with Chen Guo? Now that Chen Guo has occupied Huaibei, do you still want to continue fighting, do you want them to occupy Hebei and Yecheng, so that you are happy and satisfied? Gao Wei pointed at the emotional ministers and scolded fiercely.

"When you sent troops to Huaibei, why didn't you take the initiative and enthusiasm like just now? Now Xiao Yao, in order to show me the sincerity of the peace talks, accepted my invitation and came to Yecheng to negotiate with us in person, you are all shouting and shouting to kill, and you want me to kill Xiao Yao, I am the king of a country in Qi, and I proposed to let Xiao Yao come to Yecheng to negotiate, but now I want to trap him to death, do you want me to bear the infamy of a faint king who is untrustworthy and untrustworthy, and who backtracks and hurts people? Since you are all so aggressive, why don't I send you all to the border, so that you can fight with Chen Jun or Zhou Jun again! Said angrily.

"Your Majesty is angry! Even if this Xiao Yao came to Yecheng to negotiate peace with us, but now that he has arrived outside the city, so suddenly, we are not prepared for anything! So how are we going to negotiate with Xiao Yao? A minister of the Lord and the faction also said worriedly.

After hearing that there was finally a minister who did not ask for Xiao Yao to be killed immediately, Gao Wei's mood improved a little, so he instructed: "How to negotiate, we can discuss this slowly, now our most important thing is to immediately welcome Xiao Yao into Yecheng, and protect his safety, and after he lives in Yecheng, we can greet him while preparing to negotiate an armistice with him!" ”

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to personally lead the honor guard and the forbidden army, go out of the city immediately, and welcome Xiao Yao into the city!" Han Changluan stood up in time and asked Gao Wei to say, after all, the suggestion that Xiao Yao should come to Yecheng to negotiate in person was made by him to Gao Wei, and then continued: "Then after we connect this Xiao Yao to Yecheng, where do we arrange for him to live?" Is it in Hongroji Temple? ”

"The guards of Honglu Temple in the city are not very strict, and now these ministers in the court, although they are no longer silent, but in fact, they must be thinking about how to deal with Xiao Yao in their hearts!" Gao Wei looked coldly at this group of ministers who seemed to tremble a little under the majesty of his emperor, and suddenly said with an idea: "If this is the case, then directly arrange Xiao Yao into the palace!" ”

Sure enough, after hearing such a bold and crazy suggestion from Gao Wei, the ministers who had just quieted down exploded in an instant!

"Your Majesty, this must not be done! The palace is the residence of His Majesty and the Queen Mother and the harem concubines, and it is the most sacred and important place in our Daqi, even if it is the princes and relatives, without the permission of His Majesty, they can not enter and exit at will, and ordinary people must not step into half a step. A minister of the Ministry of Rites said nervously.

"Didn't you say that no one can enter or leave the palace without my permission! Now that I have allowed Xiao Yao to enter the palace for a temporary stay, isn't that reasonable? As for Xiao Yao's identity as a foreign courtier, it doesn't mean that he is a very important guest of mine, and it is really a pleasure to have friends from afar! Isn't it more sincere for me to let him live in my palace now, but Xiao Yao came to Yecheng in person at the risk of being assassinated by you ministers, full of sincerity! Now that I am personally entertaining him in the palace, does it not respond to his sincerity and show the importance I attach to this negotiation between the two countries? Gao Wei said happily, as if he had decided on the idea.

"If this Xiao Yao has evil intentions and tries to plot against His Majesty, then let him live in the palace, wouldn't it lead the wolf into the house?" Another minister persuaded.

"If he wants to assassinate me, what are so many forbidden army guards in this palace doing, did this Xiao Yao bring an army to Yecheng? And if he really dares to make a move against me in the palace, wouldn't it be right in your hands, so that you have an excuse to kill Xiao Yao immediately! Gao Wei said with a sneer.

"Although it seems inappropriate to let a foreign courtier live in the palace with etiquette, the last general thinks it is still feasible!" Han Changluan, who was good at catering to Gao Wei, also spoke up, patted Gao Wei's sycophant, and continued to follow Gao Wei's words: "With Your Majesty's permission, anyone can enter the palace, which shows our hospitable and home-like hospitality!" Moreover, the forbidden army in the palace is heavily guarded, and people outside cannot assassinate Xiao Yao, but from another point of view, it is actually convenient for us to monitor Xiao Yao! Xiao Yao is notoriously scheming, so we just need to vacate an independent courtyard for Xiao Yao to live in, and we will send guards to surround him outside, which is not equivalent to putting Xiao Yao under house arrest, we can know what this Xiao Yao is doing at any time! ”

"And we entertained this Xiao Yao with such a high standard of receiving foreign emperors, what do you think the people of Chen Guo will think if this matter is transmitted back to Chen Guo? A courtier of the Chen State actually received a higher standard of reception than the emperor of the Chen State, would they feel that this Xiao Yao was a bit of a meritorious master, thus creating a gap between their monarchs and ministers? Han Changluan said with a wicked smile.

Sure enough, after hearing Han Changluan's analysis, those ministers who opposed it stopped talking, although they also felt that Han Changluan had some truth in what he said, but they still felt that this decision was still very absurd, but they turned their heads and thought that their majesty was actually a very ridiculous emperor, and he always did things as he wanted, without considering the consequences, so now everyone should shut up first!

After all, Gao Wei hates the most people below who don't obey his will, but just now, many ministers knew that he had decided to have a truce and peace talks with Xiao Yao, but they all asked to kill Xiao Yao, which already made Gao Wei very unhappy, and now if he is still arguing with Gao Wei on the issue of living in the palace, it will be tantamount to completely angering Gao Wei, and then he may be on the ground!
