Lanling covered the moon

In the second year of Heqing in the Northern Qi Dynasty, 563 AD.

As soon as winter entered, Yecheng ushered in a heavy snowfall.

The snowflakes were flying and sprinkled one after another, like a grand feast for Liu Ziye to wash away the wind and cleanse the dust, and the whiteness spread into a world covered in white.A dude prince like Liu Ziye, even as an envoy for peace, is very flamboyant, with a tall horse and a red cloak, and the wind and snow dotted his white fur collar with crystal light.Immediately, that person, leading the envoy's personal soldiers, walked against the wind on the official road into Yecheng. The gray sky and the earth were piercingly chilly, with 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 King of Song, who was in the procession.Although it is not absolutely beautiful, the slightly upward corners of the mouth and the raised jaw line are all charming and rebellious, without a little panic, without any wavering or fear, and without any doubts. His position is placed above the humbleness of the tributary country.Seeing the girls on both sides of the street watching him quietly, squinting slightly, the teasing made the girls hide their faces and shy away.Ever since Liu Ziye entered Yecheng, the wind and snow all over the city seemed to have become his background. He believed in the horse and reined in the air, looking for plums in the snow.

"Heh, this is Liu Ziye, Prince of Eternal Light?" Gao Zhan stood on the wall of the palace, stopping to look into the distance.He saw from a distance that among the winding Song people, the dancing red was very dazzling.As he got closer, the man on the horse attracted the attention of passers-by on the street.

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

"It is rumored that this man is bohemian, drunk all day long, ignorant of learning and skill, I thought he was a man who got a living, but seeing him now, he has extraordinary courage!" Gao Zhan said with a sneer.

Zu Teng also looked at the street, squinted his eyes, nodded and smiled, and said, "Yes, yes, I saw that the Song people who escorted the tribute before entered Yecheng were all downcast like birds of fright. There is such a bold guy as Liu Ziye. It seems that it is not easy to intimidate him to sign the terms of cede the city and land!"

"That's not necessarily the case!" Gao Zhan raised his hand and said calmly, "Order someone to open the gate of the palace and welcome Liu Ziye to see him!"

"Yes!" The side general commanded.

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

After getting off the horse, the face of the minister who greeted the wind was so beautiful that the flamboyant Liu Ziye couldn't take his eyes off, his eyes were full of surprise.

"Prince Yongguang has worked hard all the way, I have been waiting here for a long time." Murong greeted Liu Ziye in front of Dongfeng Gate with his official robe.The snowflakes fell, and unexpectedly stained the beauty's body with ice flakes. The charming eyes blinked slightly, and then shook off the snow petals on the eyelashes, turning them into water mist, making this beautiful and flawless face even more beautiful. More hazy beauty.

"Thank you, my lord. It's windy and snowy. How could Liu Ziye let such a beauty wait for him? He's so lucky!" Liu Ziye said jokingly, before he even had an audience with the emperor of Qi, he began to tease the minister in front of him.The ceremonial officer behind Murong Chong lowered his head and suppressed a smile, His Majesty's beauty trick is really wonderful!Right in his arms, Liu Ziye saw that the number one beauty in the Northern Dynasties had already lost her mind, and her eyes did not move away from Murong Chong's body.

Murong Chong was startled for a moment, then put away his displeasure, pretended not to notice Liu Ziye's teasing, but still raised his hand to lead the way: "My lord, Your Majesty is waiting to see you in the hall."

Looking at the beauty's calm and calm appearance, Liu Ziye's heart became even more interested.I didn't expect that besides King Nalanling in Northern Qi Dynasty, there would be such a peerless and magnificent person.So he nodded, and followed Murong Chong and the ministers of the Ministry of Rites to meet the saint. All his personal soldiers could only stay outside the Dongfeng Gate, and the few followers who followed Liu Ziye into the palace were confiscated before they could meet Qi Guo together. emperor.

In the Wenchang Hall, Gao Zhan, who was sitting in the ninth-five seat, smiled slightly, watching the envoy Liu Ziye of the Song Dynasty walk up to the court hall.

The Gao family in the Northern Qi Dynasty was full of outstanding talents. Liu Ziye looked up and saw that what he said was true. The emperor of Qi State was also a good-looking talent. Although he had a gloomy face and shrewd calculations, he had a handsome appearance and an outstanding demeanor between his cold brows. verve.It's just that he was overlooked from such a condescending height. Although he was smiling, Liu Ziye still felt as if he was cast into a huge shadow, with a majesty that was overwhelming. All the people behind him bowed their heads tremblingly, but only Liu Ziye in front was still standing. Dare to stare at the emperor of Qi above like this.

"Ahem, my lord, don't stare like this, pay attention to etiquette, etiquette!" The Song Dynasty official, who was already a little nervous, couldn't stand it anymore, pulled Liu Ziye's sleeve in front, and reminded in a low voice.They came to ask for peace, the Lord Yongguang had already been rude to the minister who received the wind before, and he still overstepped the court of Qi State like this, he was really more scared, and his back was wet with cold sweat.

Ah. . . . . .Liu Ziye turned his head and cast a joking glance at the following ceremony officer, worrying unnecessarily, since the emperor of Qi had accepted those dozens of carts of tribute, how could there be any reason why he would disagree with Xiuhe and turn his face rashly.However, the Qi emperor seemed to be scheming, so he might not be such an easy master!

Gao Zhan on the dragon chair and Liu Ziye, who came here in style, smelled that they were not kind to each other as soon as they met each other. Gao Zhan smiled with a deep smile in his eyes, Liu Ziye smiled, bowed his head and saluted, and opened his soldiers to block the water The posture of coming to the ground, the so-called chess meets the opponent, will meet the good talent.

"Liu Ziye, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, has met His Majesty the Emperor of Qi Dynasty. Long live, long live, long live!" Liu Ziye saluted loudly, neither humble nor overbearing, as if an old friend was reunited, and both sides were delighted, and behind him bent over and bowed his head in the cold winter months with sweat on his forehead Zhu's entourage and ritual officials are very different.

interesting. . . . . .Gao Zhan pursed his lips and smiled lightly, then raised his hand and said slowly, "Your Majesty Yongguang is very polite. You have traveled all the way from Jiankang to Yecheng. You have worked so hard. Thank you so much, Your Majesty."

"I am dissatisfied with Your Majesty. I seldom travel far. This is the first time I have entered the Northern Dynasty. Ben and His Majesty of our country said that the mountains are high and the road is far. Thousands of people, this trip is related to the prospect of the reconciliation of the Song Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom. Thousands of people hope that the two countries can turn their wars into treasures. From then on, the world will be peaceful. The only way is for me, a mediocre person, to take on this important task. I think His Majesty Qi is so wise and powerful, and his reputation spreads far and wide, so he will not embarrass Ziye on the matter of repairing the two countries, so that I can't do big things and can't make up my mind The number one idler in Jiankang has messed up and made a fool of himself!" Liu Ziye actually said straight to the point.

. . . . . .Liu Ziye was so straightforward and courageous that the officials above the court immediately talked about it.Murong Chong, who was standing behind the envoy Song, was also taken aback for a moment, he just thought he was a daring dandy aristocrat in front of Dongfeng Gate, but he didn't expect to be so brave and resourceful.

Gao Zhan frowned slightly, looked at the left and right ministers at the bottom of the steps, then smiled and said: "The prince Yongguang is the eldest son of Emperor Xiaowu of Song Dynasty. Your country is full of goodwill in the matter of repairing peace, and my Qi country is also sincere. This peace agreement is a matter of course. However, you have traveled a long way and come from a long way. I really can’t bear to let you hurt your body too much. Since When we arrive in Ye City, we must proceed step by step, and we must not rush forward in haste. Look, my lord, your clothes are wet from the rain and snow, and the snowflakes have not yet melted. If you have worked so hard, if I don't give you a good rest first , and then arrange a big banquet to treat all of you who came from a long journey, I really can't bear it!"

Gao Zhan said with a smile, which immediately relieved Liu Ziye's tension just now. Liu Ziye looked at Gao Zhan, frowned and smiled, and after thinking about it, he knew that the emperor of Qi State did not make such a simple decision to make peace.

"Your Majesty is wise, the reconciliation of the two countries is a major event that will benefit forever. How can you be hasty! According to the etiquette, when a foreigner comes to court, he must first have a banquet for three days. After the envoys get used to the local water and soil, recuperate their bodies, and relieve themselves." Only after the exhaustion of the journey can we discuss matters." Prime Minister Zu came out, smiling and wrinkling his old face, and said to Liu Ziye.

Gao Zhan nodded, very agreeing, and asked below: "Has the Ministry of Rites properly arranged the place where the distinguished guest will stay and the reception banquet?"

"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged properly. Prince Yongguang will stay in Xiandu Garden, and his entourage and soldiers will all stay in Sifang Hall. In order not to disturb Prince Yongguang's rest, the Chinese restaurant will send the imperial dining room to Xiandu Garden, and at night, It is a grand banquet to welcome the distinguished guests from the Song Dynasty. When the time comes, singing and dancing will make the princes and lords from the south feel refreshed. The itinerary for the next few days has already been arranged by the subordinates, so that the distinguished guests from the Song Kingdom will feel at home. It's a worthwhile trip!" Gao Xiaoyu came out and said respectfully.

Gao Zhan nodded in satisfaction, but Liu Ziye twitched his lips and smiled meaningfully.If the State of Qi treats them, the envoys of the Song Dynasty, with arrogance and cold eyes, there is no need to be so nervous, which means that they are already satisfied with the treasures and food that have entered the treasury.At this moment, in such a situation where the kindness is hard to come by, this Gao Zhan is opening the mouth of the bag desperately to put them in it, what exactly he intends to do, it is hard to guard against!

"This... I have the guts to report to His Majesty the Emperor of Qi that it is unreasonable for Prince Yongguang to live in the palace alone. Can our country send more guards..." who was so frightened that his clothes were wet before Song Guoli officer actually objected at this moment. After speaking, he looked at Gao Zhan tremblingly, and lowered his head again.

"Hahaha, you don't have to be nervous, my lord. Qi is a state of etiquette. Letting the prince live in the palace must be a good service, and I dare not be negligent. Besides, if your lord is thinking about the safety of Prince Yongguang, then you don't have to worry about it." Now, my imperial palace is as solid as gold, 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 full of people. Recently, many refugees in Yecheng took advantage of the heavy snow to enter. I also wanted to The prince's safety considerations made this arrangement. Do you still have any objections?"

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

"This..." Before the minister could speak again, Liu Ziye stood in front of him and thanked him with cupped fists, "Thank you for your trouble, since you are here in Yecheng, you can do whatever you want, naturally you will follow your majesty's arrangements. "

"Hahaha, the lord is really a knowledgeable person, and I am willing to deal with a knowledgeable and interesting person like the lord Yongguang! Good! Lord Murong, as the Minister of the Wind, the lord will be accompanied by you during the few days in Yecheng , distinguished guests come to court, don't neglect!" Gao Zhan said to Murong Chong in the hall.

"Obey! I will do my best!" Murong Chong led the order.

"Lord Murong?..." Liu Ziye looked back at the beautiful woman, and said in confusion, "Just now, I was curious, how could there be such a handsome gentleman in the Northern Qi Dynasty! This Lord Murong is... ...?"

Gao Zhan saw that the fish had already bit the hook, so he generously introduced: "This is Murong Chong, the most famous beauty in the Northern Dynasties, Lord Murong. Lord Yongguang has never seen such a peerless and magnificent person."

"Your Majesty...my praise..." Murong Chong heard mixed feelings and said softly.But as soon as his voice came out, it was overshadowed by Liu Ziye's exclamation: "So it's Mr. Murong Chong! It's true that seeing a hundred things is worth seeing. To have this side is to be lucky in three lives, and this life will not be wasted! Your Majesty arranged so that let The well-known Lord Murong came to cleanse me up, which really made Ziye feel uneasy, and he couldn't help but sigh, Ziye will never be able to repay His Majesty's kindness!" Liu Ziye sighed 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. Everyone in the Song Dynasty knew that Liu Ziye was a good man. Sure enough, this Murong Chong had stabbed his life. Already so distraught.

"Since Mr. Murong and the prince hit each other so well, it is not in vain that I have carefully arranged it! Very good, very good! My lord, you are full of wind and dust, rain and snow, you should first go to Xiandu Garden to have a good rest, and we will have a good dinner after dinner." Have a good time. Although it is the first time for me to meet the prince, but I really feel that we can talk about each other, and at night, I will give the prince a good welcome! Don't get drunk and don't return!"

Gao Zhan laughed and said, Liu Ziye also clasped his fists with joy on his face.His Majesty the Emperor left the dragon couch and was about to leave the court, but found that Liu Ziye's eyes were inadvertently sweeping back and forth among the generals listed in the court when his eyes relaxed.Gao Zhan seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and a trace of displeasure surfaced on the corner of his mouth.

"Lord Murong, Your Highness Henan, hurry up and take the prince to the palace where he is staying. Don't let the prince stand there for too long." Gao Zhan said coldly.

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the two took Liu Ziye down.Liu Ziye's sly and sharp eyes before were lingering at this moment. He 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 sharp, he was right to let Chang Gong not have to go to court today.

The author has something to say:

Liu Ziye is actually very powerful
