At dusk, a grand dinner was held in Taichung, Tongqueyuan Ice Well, to the west of the imperial city, to welcome the four envoys who visited Northern Qi.

Xu Ling came in a court suit that he would only wear on grand occasions. Many Northern Qi court officials had already sat on the ice platform. Looking around, the court was full of purple and purple. Some people who recognized Xu Ling nodded and said hello when they saw Xu Ling coming.

Putting aside the identity of Xu Ling's envoy, Xu Ling is well-known, and even in Northern Qi, many people have heard of his reputation. Xu Ling responded to these kind greetings with great gentlemanness. Obviously, Xu Ling is already familiar with such occasions.

Xu Ling was a great scholar who was respected by Delong and Wangzun, and it was common for him to receive these courtesy.

Under the leadership of the palace maid, Xu Ling found his position and ranked very high, arranged by Zhao Yanshen and one group behind the King of Jingzong.

Xu Ling looked up and saw that the Turkic envoy was arranged to his left rear, while Goguryeo and the Khitan envoy were slightly behind.

The Goguryeo envoy and the Khitan were circling their eyes, looking around at the magnificent palace, and admiring something in their mouths. What Xu Ling heard was nothing more than praising the magnificent and magnificent palace city of Northern Qi, especially the Goguryeo envoy, who described it as particularly unsovereign and looked around, without any appearance of an envoy who represented the dignity of a country. His behavior was frivolous, which made people look down on them at first sight.

Xu Ling was secretly amused in his heart, [It turns out that I came from a small country. Even if I admire the Wenhua of the Central Plains, I can't change my slim spirit in my bones...]

The Turkic envoy was quite determined, and his eyes were only on the veil-covered palace maid and slim figure for a while, then he looked away and asked when the dinner would begin.

Xu Ling was puzzled. During the day today, he remembered that Gao Wei summoned Goguryeo and Khitan in advance, but instead left the Turkic envoy behind. Logically speaking, the Turkic envoy should have been angry. In fact, the Turkic envoy was indeed angry and even questioned Fang Yanqian on the spot.

But now Xu Ling couldn't see any resentment and resentment on his face, but could see a hint of joy. This... Xu Ling couldn't understand what Fang Yanqian or Master Qi said to him to make him so happy?

As for Goguryeo and Khitan envoys, Xu Ling didn't care much. Their status was not enough to make Xu Ling pay attention to them and observe their actions. Otherwise, Xu Ling would have seen the joy that could hardly be concealed from their faces.

Not long after the staff arrived, a voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty is here!"

As soon as the voice fell, Lord Qi entered the hall from the main entrance. Everyone stood up solemnly and bowed to the emperor.

Gao Wei smiled warmly and said, "Flat" and walked straight to the throne. Only then did Xu Ling see clearly what the emperor of Qi looked like.

The emperor now does not wear a crown of the emperor. He is wearing a black, embroidered narrow-sleeved shirt with a belt embroidered with mutton fat and white jade on his waist. He is a pair of thin-soled soft boots under his feet. His face is like a crown and jade, and his figure is as tall as a green pine. If it weren't for the extremely noble demeanor, Xu Ling would hardly believe that this handsome young man was the king of the Northern Dynasty.

All the envoys and all the civil and military officials of the court were stunned for a moment.

After Gao Wei took his seat, they announced that they would sit down before they sat down.

The Goguryeo envoy exclaimed in a low voice: "Is this the emperor of the country? It is a true celestial being!"

Earlier, they were all so breathless that they were suppressed by Gao Wei's majesty. Where can they see carefully what the emperor looked like?

Now Gao Wei is wearing regular clothes to attend, which allows them to see the true face of Lushan.

Even the Turkic envoy was stunned for a long time. At that glance just now, he almost thought that it was Gao Zhan's resurrection.

When Gao Zhan was young, he was handsome and had a good temperament. He passed by the grassland by carriage. People who saw him from afar thought this was an immortal.

He also saw him once and left a deep impression on him.

Of course, what impressed him the most was Gao Zhan's outstanding martial arts. During his reign, Gao Zhan defeated the joint attacks between the Northern Zhou and the Turks several times, killing people. Even the Turks, who have always been known for their brute force, were frightened.

It can be said that the dead bodies piled up Gao Zhan’s posthumous title of “Wu Cheng”! Therefore, Gao Zhan left an extremely deep impression on him.

On one hand, there is awe and on the other hand, there is fear.

Unlike Gao Zhan's gentle and handsome appearance, Gao Zhan is a tyrant who is very generous, not inferior to Gao Yang.

In this contradiction and extreme contrast, he could not fail to be impressed by Gao Zhan.

At that glance just now, Gao Wei gave him the feeling of Gao Zhan, even more terrifying than Gao Zhan!

He had heard that the brother of the Lord Qi, the brother of the Lord of the Langya, had rebelled, but the Lord of Qi let the Lord of the Langya go. At that time, he laughed at the housewife's kindness and could not make a difference, but now he felt that Gao Zhan and Gao Wei, the father and son, were not only similar...

The prairie wolf that struggles to survive on the grassland always has a keen understanding of danger.

He felt that although this young emperor looked kind, he had a huge hostility hidden in his body!

Before I came, I heard that after Gao Zhan died, his incompetent son succeeded to the throne. The Turks originally united with Northern Zhou and planned to cut another piece of meat from Northern Qi! But now it seems that this may not be a wise choice...

While he was pondering, Gao Wei gently ordered everyone to start a banquet, and a harmonious atmosphere was filled with peace. The Turkic envoy only felt cold in his heart...

After Zhao Yanshen took the lead and expressed a polite welcome to the arrival of envoys from various countries, singing and dancing came.

The graceful and beautiful palace maids arranged in elegant steps below and began singing and dancing, with graceful dances and pleasing to the eye.

Among the court officials, there are elegant people who are proficient in music and slowly beat the beat together with ethereal but atmospheric music. The singing and dancing are of course very good, but Xu Ling is more interested in playing music.

Who can play such fairy music?

He looked over and saw that no one played his highness at all. There were only two rows of bronze men slowly moving, and the music came from the bronze man's belly.

[Is this the mechanism created by Gao Shenwu that can play music? It's simply ingenious!] Xu Ling was shocked.

The Gao family always favors music. According to legend, Gao Huan ordered people to create exquisite mechanisms that can play music by themselves. The music sounds like fairy music, and I have just seen it now!

When the song and dance dispersed, Gao Wei raised his glass and stood up, and smiled in a friendly way:

"The four countries' envoys arrived together today, which is a great event, and drinks are in full swing!"

After saying that, he drank all the wine.

The emperor did this, so how dare the ministers not give face? So they stood up and drank the wine in their glasses.

All the envoys also did as they did to show their respect.

Gao Wei took down the wine glass and said, "Today I want to announce a grand event. Today, I will discuss with the envoys of the Southern Dynasties, Turks, Khitans and Goguryeo.

I have decided that our dynasty will open some border towns as places of mutual market, and open marginal counties such as Anzhou and Jiande County to the north.

The Turks, Khitans and Goguryeo envoys are allowed to conduct commercial activities in open areas.

Going south, I will open Hezhou, Bazhou, Huozhou, Nanqiaozhou, and Hailing County, allowing merchants from the Southern Dynasties to go north to carry out commercial activities with our dynasty.

In addition, I will also order people to formulate a commercial law to ensure that the exchange of trade can operate normally!”

Gao Wei looked at the envoys and said:

"When you go back and discuss with your own master, come and report to me. At the latest at the end of June this year, I will know the reply."

Everyone was in an uproar, but in one day the emperor created some more famous things.

What is a mutual market? To maintain it, people have to create a special law? This is simply unheard of!

What can they bring to Daqi when making a deal with these countries?

Besides, they heard that the Southern Dynasty came here to ask for a war horse!

However, seeing the members of the cabinet boss Zhao Yanshen and others were calm, it was obvious that they had known about this a long time ago.

Then the decision made by the emperor was obviously negotiated through the cabinet.

Some ministers then temporarily put down their opposition and planned to ask the cabinet for an explanation later.

In the rules set by Gao Wei, the cabinet is not absolutely true. The ministers of the court and the public also have the power to impeach the cabinet, which has been written into the newly revised Qilu.

Such a major event was not revealed at all in advance, and the emperor announced it directly, which surprised them. It can be said that they were caught off guard, which made some old ministers very angry. After the banquet, they had to let Zhao Yanshen, Feng Zicong and others give an explanation!

But Gao Wei is obviously not the reassuring person. Soon another bomb was thrown out.

"I have approved that the court will allow the horses to be sold to the Southern Dynasties.

In the future, the Turks, Khitans, Goguryeo, and Southern Dynasties only need to pay taxes according to the rules in local prefectures to obtain relevant certificates, and they can freely enter and exit the open scope of the trade.

If you encounter danger or persecution in our Daqi territory, you can use this certificate to seek protection from the local prefectures!"

The ministers were stunned again, and Xu Ling was surprised. Only then did they understand why the Turkic envoys were not angry, but instead looked happy. It turned out that it was not only the Southern Dynasty who got this generous condition.

The Emperor of Qi made a great deal of opening up the trade in the north and south!

The Turks, Khitans and Goguryeo countries were remote from the rich places in the Central Plains, and many materials were in short supply. They often needed to plunder to meet the needs of the ethnic groups. However, now it is different. After the opening of the mutual market, many problems can be solved!

To have an extra entanglement of interests with neighboring countries, in a way, it is equivalent to tie them to their own carriage.

The Turks were not easy to control, but the Khitan and Goguryeo could benefit a lot from it. There is no doubt that once the Khitan, Goguryeo agreed and tasted the sweetness, he would only support Northern Qi more than choose to stand aside with the Turks.

Even if the Turks want to move Northern Qi, they must consider how huge losses they will cause to themselves!

While marveling at the courage of Lord Qi, Xu Ling also secretly felt relieved.

Since he was not only given such good treatment in Nan Chen, he was relieved. He was afraid that the Lord Qi would only give such generous conditions to the Southern Dynasty.

As the saying goes, "If you have nothing to do, you will either be traitor or steal."

Although Northern Qi and Southern Chen had the name of allies, everyone knew that this was a temporary measure that had to cooperate in order to resist the momentum of Northern Zhou. The two sides still had deep hatred. The Qi Lord suddenly treated the Southern Dynasty so well that there was a problem.

But now there is no problem, because the Northern Qi Dynasty treats the rest of the country the same way.

If Master Qi wants to plot against Nan Chen, he believes it, but if Master Qi wants to put so many countries into the trap at the same time, he will definitely not believe it!

The reason is very simple, no one will think so! Unless it is a lunatic!

But he just ignored that Gao Wei's genes really have a madman side.

And... his appetite is very good!
