"Your Majesty Xuanchen Dynasty envoys are here!" The little yellow door bowed slightly to Xu Ling and said, "Your envoy, please come with our family......"

Xu Ling straightened his clothes, and then said to the little yellow door: "Have you worked hard......"

Xiao Huangmen bowed humbly and said, "Don't dare to be, your envoy ......, please." ”

Xu Ling followed behind the little yellow gate and entered the palace road surrounded by the forbidden army covered in iron armor.

The Turkic envoy changed color again and said angrily, "Why can this birdman be summoned earlier than me? ”

Fang Yanqian didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, so he only said lightly: "The envoys of the Chen Dynasty arrived in Yecheng one day earlier than the envoys, according to etiquette, it should be the envoys of the Chen Dynasty who face the saints first, and the envoys wait patiently for the time being......"

The palace road is spacious, the palace walls on both sides are majestic, the small yellow gate is silently leading the way in front, and more than a dozen forbidden soldiers in the rear are following behind with swords, and the long palace road can only hear the sound of armor colliding.

I heard that since the mutiny of King Langya, the Lord of Qi has abolished all the forbidden troops of the palace guards and replaced them with elite border troops drawn from Jinyang, and an edict promoted Kudi Fulian to the general of Zhenyuan and served as the town guard of Youzhou.

In the past three days, Xu Ling has inquired about all the news, and finally sorted out what this Qi lord has done, the more he analyzes, the more shocking it is, and now he can conclude that the reason why the Qi lord had the reputation of being cowardly and stupid in the past must be hiding it clumsy!

At such an age, he understands how to protect himself, and uses all the people who can be used to achieve his goals, sits firmly on the throne, and after taking over the power, he is even more determined to forge ahead, and change the situation of the lord's arbitrary power, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a young and promising king!

Ying Zheng and Mao Dunmo are not so precocious and deep!

Xu Ling looked at the misty sky, and he was a little hesitant under his feet, he was not sure if it was the right choice for him to ask for a union with Northern Qi......

The little yellow door in front of him turned around as if he felt something, and said, "Your Majesty should hurry up, don't let Your Majesty wait in a hurry......"

Xiao Huangmen led Xu Ling through the long corridors and halls, and all the palace people he saw saluted to this line.

The road was solemn and silent.

Gao Wei's requirements for the front hall are particularly strict, from here to the Taiji Hall Zhaoyang Palace, these places are not allowed to play and joke, and those who violate the order are severely punished.

This made this large palace look very empty, and a mountain of majesty hung over his head all the time, as if it would be pressed down at any time!

Xu Ling was also deeply respected by Chen Ji in the Southern Dynasty, and he was summoned to enter and leave the palace many times, but there was no such sense of oppression, and the depressed people didn't even dare to breathe loudly, Xu Ling secretly clenched his fists.

On this cold day, a lot of cold sweat broke out behind his back.

Xiao Huangmen led Xu Ling to the Zhaoyang Palace, Gao Wei was already waiting in the Zhaoyang Palace, and only put Xu Ling in after the armor outside the door searched his body.

Cushman sat on the throne in a formal tiara of the twelve, and a vague silhouette could be faintly seen under the beaded curtain.

As soon as Xu Ling saw the figure, he bowed down and bowed: "The envoy of the Chen Dynasty and the left servant of the Shangshu of the Chen Dynasty shot Xu Ling with the letter of the emperor of our dynasty, and I have come to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Qi!" ”

Gao Wei looked at the white-haired old man, raised his hand slightly, and said, "Your envoy is exempt from courtesy...... Xu Ling got up, and only then did he dare to look directly at this young Lord of Qi.

How to say it, more than ten zhang away, and Gao Wei was wearing an imperial crown, and the bead curtain was hanging down, Xu Ling couldn't see what he looked like, but could only vaguely see a delicate and angular outline.

Obviously, the body is not as tall as a middle-aged person, but sitting on it is like a mountain, and you can only look up.

Xu Ling gave birth to "Tianjiao should be like this!" at that time! "Feelings.

Gao Wei noticed his gaze, and when he saw it, he quietly lowered his head again, and it was disrespectful to look directly at the emperor.

Gao Wei looked him up and down for a moment, and then said: "Your envoy has come from Jiankang, and he has worked hard, and I already know what the emperor of your country means......"

Xu Ling's heart secretly lifted, and Gao Wei continued: "I can agree to an alliance with the Chen Dynasty, but what support can the Chen Dynasty give me Daqi?" ”

Gao Wei's single knife went straight in, and he didn't even have the slightest extra politeness, Rao Yi Xu Ling was already ready and felt caught off guard.

Xu Ling was surprised for a moment, and then replied: "I heard that Your Majesty is facing a natural disaster that has not been encountered in a century, and I can support your country with 400,000 stone ...... of grain and grass."

Gao Wei laughed "heh" and said, "400,000 stone grain is just a drop in the bucket for our dynasty, and your country is too stingy. ”

The corners of Xu Ling's eyes twitched, and he said, "If Your Majesty feels that it is not enough, then our country can sell grain to your country at a price that is seventy percent lower than the market price." ”

"Conditions?" Gao Wei went straight in, and Xu Ling's rhythm was beaten up by Gao Wei, so he had to bite the bullet and say:

"I ask Your Majesty to exchange ...... with our court with war horses."

After speaking, he bowed his head and was silent, war horses are very scarce materials at any time, especially, Nan Chen and Northern Qi are at odds, and Northern Zhou is separated by a Western Liang, even if Nan Chen offers a sky-high price, he doesn't know where to buy it, but now it's different, Northern Qi lacks grain and grass, and their condition is to trade war horses, as long as the Qi lord is willing to open the war horse, then Nan Chen can sell grain to Northern Qi at an extremely cheap price.

The Northern Qi suffered a disaster last year, but Nanchen was in good weather, ripe everywhere, there was no shortage of grain and grass at all, but the war horses were different, the war horses were what they dreamed of, with enough war horses, Nan Chen Ping destroyed the West Liang is like a tiger with wings, maybe one day, you can watch Jianghuai!

After a long silence, Gao Wei secretly said in his heart: [As I expected......]

The corners of his mouth quietly tugged, and then he flatly refused: "No! War horses are important military assets, how can they be sold to other countries! ”

Xu Ling persuaded: "Your Majesty, the alliance between the Northern Qi and the Southern Dynasties is beneficial and harmless,

At this moment, the biggest crisis in your country is not the siege of Yiyang by the Zhou army, but the famine within the Qi country.

If there is no smooth transition, then the country of Qi will be unstable, and Your Majesty will have to think twice.

Our dynasty will ally with your country and provide your country with sufficient grain and grass, so that if there is another famine in Qi in the future, it will be able to survive smoothly.

Even the grain and grass used by your country to defend against the Northern Zhou Dynasty can be exchanged for war horses, and the Qi land is vast, and there is no shortage of war horses.

As long as the war horses are sold to our dynasty, then our dynasty will definitely continue to send grain and grass to your country, all of which will be exchanged at 70% of the market price, so why not?

Besides, Your Majesty, don't worry, my dynasty and your country will not do such a treacherous thing.

These war horses will never be used to serve your country, and the old man can vouch for his life! ”

Gao Wei was happy after listening to it, [This old man looks sanctimonious, it turns out that it is not a good thing! 】

If Gao Wei agreed, wouldn't all the money and food be subject to Nan Chen in the future?

If one day Nan Chen turns his face over and doesn't want a war horse, what will Gao Wei do?

Did you take the pants as well?

He also said that he would not use these war horses to subdue Nan Chen, and he would guarantee his life?

How many years will you live as a dead old man?

Cushman & Wakefield really wants to pick up a knife and slash this bad old man to death!

Gao Wei remembered that in history, almost two years later, Nan Chen ordered the general Wu Mingche to capture Shouyang in Northern Qi with water.

Dare you say that you don't have any ideas about Northern Qi? By whom?

Those who believe in you are retarded!

Gao Wei looked at Xu Ling with disdain, of course, Xu Ling couldn't see Gao Wei's expression through the bead curtain.

Gao Wei thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Your envoy's proposal sounds very good......

Xu Ling's heart was overjoyed, but he heard this young Qi Lord propose:

"However, the noble envoy still needs to promise me a condition, as long as he agrees, I will give as many war horses as the Southern Dynasties want in the future......
