Lanling covered the moon

Mugan Khan is a burly man.

Even when he arrived in Chang'an, he wore a fur hat and a fur apron, and his tiger eyes were wide open. When passing Zimo, he looked Xiao Zimo up and down.

After the Turkic Khan entered the palace, Yu Wenhu held a reception banquet in the palace that night, and invited the Turkic people and King Lanling of the Northern Qi Dynasty to attend the banquet. This was also the first time Xiao Zimo met the Northern Zhou Emperor Yu Wenyu.

"I have seen His Majesty the Emperor." The Turkic Khan clenched his right fist and placed it on his left chest.Most of these tall and burly Turkic people are muscular men, only a few are women wearing long gauze skirts, like Kabuki, with broken pearl and shell jewelry strung on their ankles, every step Makes a pleasing crisp sound.One of the bright-eyed women seemed to be staring at Xiao Zimo who was sitting opposite, and when Zimo noticed her gaze, she turned her head away.

Yu Wenyong, as the minister of reception, was also at the banquet.He sat very close to Emperor Yu Wenyu, and the two brothers could whisper softly by leaning sideways.

"Fourth brother, is that the King of Lanling in the Northern Qi Dynasty?" Yu Wenyu sat in the center, and the Gao Changgong he saw had a perfect side profile, as Yong said, absolutely beautiful, but it's hard to imagine his face The Fourth Brotherhood lost to him in martial arts.

"Well, brother, don't be fooled by his looks, Gao Changgong is cruel and ruthless, and he is not a good stubble." Yu Wenyong said angrily.

"Oh? Why are you so cruel?" Yu Wenyu looked at Yong's expression and said with a smile.

"..." Yu Wenyong was thinking about the scene that day when he just accidentally fell into Gao Changgong's bath tub and was thrown out by this person, his face was subtle for a while, and then he deliberately said angrily, "Anyway, it is Being narrow-minded and holding grudges, it's no different from those dainty girls!"

"I don't think so. I heard that he treated Yuwenhu's female relatives with courtesy, and returned those hostages to Yuwenhu as soon as he arrived in Chang'an. Such courage and magnanimity are not as small as you said, fourth brother." A man with a gut, I think he is worthy of a high position." The emperor said quite appreciatively.

"Brother, he let Otsuka Zai's mother and aunt go. Why are you accepting his affection like this? Let me tell you, isn't it because of Yu Wenhu's face that he put gold on his face?"

After hearing this, Yu Wenyu just poured himself a glass of wine and started drinking.Turkic Khan was at the reception banquet, and the princes of the Northern Qi Dynasty were all present, but he himself was like a decoration, except for the envoys to salute him, other matters were all decided by Yu Wenhu.It is said that the Turkic people came here this time to pay tribute to the newly harvested furs and fat cattle and sheep on the grassland. However, it was only autumn, and there were still several months before the traditional Turkic tribute day.

"It's the subtleties that reveal the temperament. Whether Gao Changgong is a hypocrite or not, I know for myself." Yu Wenyu said firmly.

"Brother, since you appreciate the King of Lanling so much, I will bring him to meet him in private some other day. This time Gao Changgong came to Chang'an with the intention of establishing a peace treaty. It's because you don't let people from Northern Qi meet with you, Big Brother. This Mr. Zukazai is personally involved in everything, and he doesn't even let you decide on the matter of diplomatic relations with Beiqi. Even his aunt Yu Wenyan is willing to marry Gao Changgong. You can see that Yuwen In fact, Hu had the intention to repair with Northern Qi, besides, the King of Lanling is still a celebrity in the court of Northern Qi. The two regents, King Changshan and King Changguang, became the governor of Jinyang and envoys to our state of Zhou. If Yu Wenhu and Gao Changgong are really married, then..."

"Hehe, I know exactly what Zai Otsuka's idea is. He wants to restore relations with Northern Qi and conclude a peace treaty, but he doesn't want to lose the Turkic tribe as a natural ally. He's just thinking about it. Let the Turkic people take the lead in everything, from our father It is an unwritten rule left behind. The Turkic people on the grasslands have indeed helped us a lot for Zhou Guoneng’s status today. In the past, when the Emperor Wenxuan of the Northern Qi Dynasty first came to the throne, he was like a tiger descending the mountain and wanted to go all out. Breaking through several of my border cities seems to have the intention of taking down half of my country. As a result, the Turkic Khan sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to help solve the biggest crisis in our country. Now, Mr. Zukazai wants to win over both sides, but he is afraid of fighting with Gao Changgong. Signing the peace treaty will hurt the hearts of the Turkic people, and they are hesitating." Yu Wenyu's face was handsome and indifferent, like a puppet at the banquet, but he had seen the overall situation clearly.

Yu Wenyong looked at his elder brother Yu Wenyu with admiration, nodded and said: "What elder brother said is very true. The Turkic people are also afraid that once the peace treaty between Zhou and Qi is reached, they will become outcasts on the grassland. I rushed all the way to Chang'an, just to let my Yuwen family not forget the friendship of so many years. Brother, I see that there are many veterans in the court who also agree with the peace with Qi, but this Yuwen Hu said he wanted to Wait for Gao Changgong to express his attitude towards the marriage before making a decision, but his aunt is more than one round older than the Lanling King, I think the Lanling King is really embarrassing." Yu Wenyong said a lot Injustice.

His Majesty Yu Wenyu gave him a meaningful look, then looked at Gao Changgong, and said: "Yong, my brother, I know your preferences, you are proud of your talents, and few boudoir daughters fall into your eyes... Before King Lanling, Queen Lanling's, could it be..."

"Brother!" Yu Wenyong's ears were red. If it wasn't for the occasion, he would have been furious. He looked around, restrained himself and said in a low voice, "Brother, don't talk nonsense! He is my opponent, and I am not convinced He is about the same age as me, and he always looks like he is over my head, what is it about the former Queen of Lanling, brother, you are talking nonsense!"

"That's right... Then let's call it big brother's nonsense. Yong, Beiqi and our state of Zhou have been hostile for generations. It would be best if you regard Gao Changgong as your opponent. Let's stop this matter. About the conclusion of the peace treaty." , I will come to the morning court tomorrow, and in front of Yu Wenhu, I will put forward a corresponding strategy to the meritorious officials, so as not to hurt the friendship between our country and the Turks, nor to break up the peace talks with Northern Qi."

"Brother got an idea so soon?" Yu Wenyong was quite surprised, but he absolutely believed that Yu Wenyu was telling the truth.Although the eldest brother is not as good at martial arts as he is, but in terms of strategy and tactics, Yu Wenyu is definitely Zhuge alive, with a feather fan and a scarf, talking and laughing, the mast and oar are wiped out in ashes.Such resourcefulness, even though he is controlled by others everywhere, there are still many veterans in the court who have made meritorious deeds and only his opinions follow the lead. Once some policies are launched, they have shown immediate results all over the country. Under their pressure, Yu Wenyu's reform policy was implemented one by one.

It seems that his elder brother has a good plan again.It would be the best if we can resolve the confrontation with Northern Qi without losing Turkic, a hard-core comrade in arms.Thinking about this, Yu Wenyong unconsciously looked in Gao Changgong's direction.

Yu Wenhu clapped his hands three times, pushed back the dancers dancing in the hall, raised his glass and stood up and said: "Today is really a good day. His Royal Highness Lanling, a distinguished guest from the Northern Qi Dynasty, came to our Zhou Kingdom, and the Turkic Khan who has made an alliance with our Great Zhou Kingdom Mugan Khan has traveled thousands of miles to come here and join us here, this is really a gathering of new and old friends, gratifying and congratulations!" Yu Wenhu said with a congratulatory speech while holding a wine glass.

People at the banquet also toasted to Yu Wenhu and Yu Wenyu and drank together.

Mugan Khan drank three cups in a row, and looked at Gao Changgong on the opposite seat who seemed to be full, so he sneered.He just saw this beauty for the first time and wondered where this beauty came from, and many of his subordinates recognized that she was a beautiful girl with an alluring appearance. After some inquiries, he didn't expect that he just came to Bei Zhou to negotiate peace. King Lanling.That slender and beautiful appearance is not a bit rough and masculine like a man outside the Great Wall, weak and slender, remembering that the number one Turkic warrior he sent out made a fool of himself at Gao Yang's state banquet, and he was sullen and refused to mention it when he came back. Now he saw it with his own eyes Seeing Gao Changgong's appearance, he also began to understand that the warrior was so helpless, and felt that the warrior was worthless. He was defeated by such an unmanly man.

"Lord Lanling, today we met for the first time, and it is also fate! This cup, I will pay homage to His Royal Highness Lanling! When we meet for the first time, it is really better to be famous than to meet, hahaha!" Wooden Khan held up the big wine glass and laughed.

Che Yan frowned, the words and expressions of the wooden pole were full of contempt, just seeing the prince's appearance, the barbarian started acting wild.

Zimo picked up the wine glass and said: "Wooden Khan is very polite. I am very happy to see the famous Turkic Khan in Weiyang Palace. Let's drink together!"

The two had a drink, and the wooden pole said again: "I've heard that there are many outstanding people from the Gao family in Yecheng. I saw you today. It really deserves its reputation. Speaking of which, I saw your uncle Gao Yang who had already ascended to heaven on the battlefield before." , I was still thinking, why is this Gao Yang not as handsome as the rumored heir of the Gao family who must have a beautiful face? Today I saw His Royal Highness Lan Ling, and I suddenly realized that he is the ugliest in love! Hahaha... . . ”

"Khan joked that although my second uncle is somewhat ordinary in appearance, he defeated the enemies from all over the world during his lifetime, and his reputation spread far and wide outside the Great Wall. He won many well-known victories and established our Northern Qi Dynasty. Beauty and ugliness should not be used to measure my posthumous achievements towards the late emperor." Zimo said solemnly.

Ah. . . . . .Seeing that he was not being provoked, Mu Zhu stroked his mustache and continued: "Speaking of which, most of your late emperor's famous victories were fought against me, the Turks."

"Exactly." Zi Mo replied.

"The Turks and the Zhou Kingdom are a deep friendship built with the lives of countless warriors. Blood is an alliance, and we are like brothers. I, the Turks, are descendants of prairie wolves. I have valued faith and righteousness throughout the ages. I have advanced and retreated with the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Yuwen royal family. , just now the solid friendship between the two countries has been established. Dare I ask, how does His Royal Highness Lan Ling plan to show his friendship with Zhou Guo, so that His Majesty Zhou Guo Emperor and Otsuka believe that you, Northern Qi, and us have turned enemies into friends?"

Wooden Khan was aggressive, raising his glass and asking questions loudly.People in Zhou State knew why he came here, and they didn't want this fierce man on the prairie to be so direct and start attacking the envoys of Qi State at the banquet.

Che Yan clenched his fists to get up, but the quilt did not block him.

"His Majesty the Emperor and Zai Otsuka are already aware of the friendship between our country. I think that the peace talks between the Qi State and the Zhou State should not be intervened by you, the Great Khan... The Turks and the Zhou State are close friends." Be like a brother, but you should not cling to your achievements and be self-sufficient."

Zi Mo replied.

"Bold! Dare to talk to us Da Khan like this. You are not ashamed to say it. When your grandfather Gao Huan fought with our Khan, he was not as young as you!" Xing profusely stood up and yelled loudly.

"You are presumptuous! My lord, the heir of Emperor Wenxiang of the Northern Qi Dynasty, came to the Zhou Kingdom to serve as an envoy, and Mr. Zhong Zai treated our lord very politely. Why are you, a Turkic barbarian, shouting loudly in this Weiyang Palace? How decent!" Che Yan stood up and shouted loudly.

As soon as the two of them met their eyes, they were full of anger, and their fists were clenched.

When the two sides were at war, Yu Wenhu stood up slowly, walked to the center of the hall, stood in the center with a smile, and comforted the two warriors: "My lords, please be safe and don't be impatient. Here, I am here to help you." Khan and His Royal Highness Lan Ling prepared a welcome banquet, so they should drink well and have fun together. Don’t bring up the past. Everyone take care of me, don’t be angry, don’t be angry!”

Xiao Zimo pulled the chariot Yan to let him sit down, and Mugan Khan also winked, and the big man sat down angrily.

"Master Zhongzai is right, my slave is being reckless! Prince Lanling, don't be offended!" Mugan Khan said with his head up and his hands clasped.

Xiao Zimo nodded slightly, knowing that the Turkic was here to obstruct the peace talks.

"Master Zukazai, in order to apologize, I will ask the most beautiful Turkic girls on the grassland I brought to perform a dance for everyone." Graceful, with enchanting eyes, a little more bold and enthusiastic than the girls in the Central Plains.
