Chapter 47 My rules are rules!

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day for the Northern Qi delegation to enter Beijing.

Inside the Honglu Temple.

Li Chengping sat on a chair, sipping tea leisurely.

Seeing this scene, many officials were very puzzled.

"Your Highness, the delegation is coming to the capital, and our Honglu Temple is responsible for hosting them. According to common sense and convention, we should welcome them at the city gate."

Xin Qiwu said cautiously.

"I know, but that was in the past. In this border battle, Northern Qi was defeated by us. What qualifications do they have for me to go and greet them?"

"We can just send a few people to deal with it, so that the Northern Qi delegation won't say that we neglected them!"

Li Chengping waved his hand.

Xin Qiwu was stunned on the spot. He did not expect that the seemingly amiable His Highness King Wen could be so powerful.

There was no other choice but to appoint several officials to go there on the spot.

now.

At the gate of Kyoto, the Northern Qi delegation was crowded at the gate.

"How dare you! We are the Northern Qi envoys. Here is the imperial edict of your Qing emperor. Get out of the way!"

"That's right. You are just a small guard, yet you dare to be so arrogant? You can't afford to delay important things!"

"Get out of the way! We need to go into the city to see the emperor!"

"..."

The officials in the Northern Qi delegation had never suffered such humiliation before, and they were so angry that they burst into cursing.

The guards did not tolerate this and directly ordered the soldiers to drive these people out of the city.

"shut up!"

"According to the rules of our Qing Kingdom, whenever an envoy enters the capital, the Honglu Temple will send people to greet them. You just wait patiently!"

After saying this, the guard began to invite the rest of the people to enter the city.

The members of the Northern Qi delegation were so angry that some even wanted to rush forward to argue, but were caught by their companions.

"Stop talking, this is Kyoto City. If we make a big fuss, we will be the ones to suffer. Just wait!"

The others sighed helplessly.

Being under the eaves, one had to bow one's head and could only stare at the scorching sun and wait outside the city.

soon.

An official from the Honglu Temple rode a fast horse to the city gate, questioned the guards, and slowly came to the delegation.

"I am Zhang He from the Honglu Temple. You have all come from afar, and I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please follow me!"

Zhang He clasped his fists and smiled, without waiting for the Northern Qi delegation to speak, he mounted his horse and headed towards the city.

The members of the delegation were so angry that their faces turned blue and they were unwilling to move forward.

But the sun above was too scorching. If they waited any longer, they would probably faint from the heat.

Gritting their teeth, the group could only follow with gloomy faces.

"Damn it! I will report him to the Minister of the Ministry of Rites when I see him!"

"Yes, a mere official from the Honglu Temple is so arrogant. He really doesn't take us seriously!"

Listening to the whispering of the delegation behind him, Zhang He, who was sitting in the carriage, curled his lips and looked disdainful in his eyes.

This matter was originally instructed by the prince. It will be useless even if these people report it to others!

Half an hour later.

Zhang He slowly led his group to the gate of Honglu Temple.

He dismounted and looked at the delegation members behind him who were panting from exhaustion, a hint of pride flashed across his face.

"Everyone, we have arrived at the Honglu Temple. Please follow me in to see the Lord!"

After saying this, he handed the horse to the gatekeeper and led the exhausted delegation members into the temple.

When the delegation members saw Xin Qiwu standing in the yard waiting, they felt like they had seen a savior.

There were frequent wars between Qing and Northern Qi, and the two countries often sent delegations to negotiate. Xin Qiwu was responsible for receiving them every time, and after a few visits, the two sides got to know each other.

"Sir Xin, Zhang He from your Honglu Temple is really too much. I demand that he be dismissed immediately!"

"Humph! I can't dismiss him from his post. I demand that he apologize to us in public!"

"This person neglected us and should be beheaded!"

"..."

Xin Qiwu was overwhelmed by hearing reasons that were more ridiculous than the last.

He didn't understand where the people from the Northern Qi delegation got the courage to say such things.

Li Chengping's face looked extremely ugly, and he raised his hand and slapped the table.

"Humph! You Northern Qi is just a defeated country. What qualifications do you have to bark here? The affairs of the Honglu Temple are not your turn to point fingers!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the huge yard suddenly became quiet.

The eyes of the delegation members were instantly focused on Li Chengping, and the atmosphere at the scene was terribly depressing.

In order to prevent the matter from getting out of hand, Xin Qiwu quickly stepped forward.

"This is our Honglu Temple Minister, who is in charge of all affairs of the delegation in Qing Kingdom this time." Xin Qiwu said.

Originally, he wanted to make those members of the delegation understand the consequences of offending Li Chengping, but he underestimated the stubbornness of these people.

"Great! As the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, you didn't even go out of the city to welcome the delegation in person, but sat here drinking tea. This is clearly a disrespect for the negotiations between the two countries!"

"Yes, you need to apologize to us now!"

"immediately!"

Looking at the arrogant faces of the delegation members, Xin Qiwu felt like the sky was falling.

He didn't understand why Northern Qi would send these young people. They were so desperate!

Li Chengping was also made to laugh by these people.

Looking at the noisy crowd in front of him, he stood up quickly, and his invisible aura enveloped the entire place.

The members of the delegation only felt a weight on their shoulders, as if a mountain had appeared out of nowhere, pressing them down to the point of suffocation.

"You guys think I should apologize, but you don't deserve it!"

"You've been defeated on the battlefield, yet you still dare to be so arrogant. This is Qing Kingdom, not Northern Qi. Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you're an envoy?! If you don't accept this, get out of here now!"

Li Chengping said.

As he spoke, he mixed in some wisps of true energy, and his voice was like the sound of a huge bell, shaking the eardrums of the delegation members.

Everyone stood there with their backs bent, not daring to even breathe.

They are here to mediate and negotiate. If they provoke a war again, the Northern Qi will certainly not forgive them when they return.

Seeing that no one spoke, Li Chengping's gloomy expression relaxed a lot.

"I don't care what you did before. Now that you are here, my rules are the rules!"

"You'd better behave yourself these few days. If anyone dares to cause trouble again, I will send him to the Overwatch Prison!"

After saying that, Li Chengping flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

The huge courtyard was silent until Xin Qiwu's voice was heard and then everyone looked up.

"Master Xin, which prince of your Qing Kingdom was that master just now?"

"It's His Royal Highness Prince Wen, who was canonized by His Majesty a few months ago. He is the best poet in the world and the youngest great scholar in our Qing Kingdom!"

Xin Qiwu looked adoring, then lowered his voice.

"But everyone has seen the prince's temper. You'd better not cause trouble in the next few days, otherwise even His Majesty can't save you!"

After saying this, Xin Qiwu's expression returned to indifference and he waved at Zhang He.

"Zhang Zhubu, please arrange for the members of the delegation to stay and explain the rules of the Honglu Temple to them!"

After saying this, Xin Qiwu left quickly with his hands behind his back.

The expressions of the delegation members changed, and they surrounded Zhang He in an instant, smiling and flattering him.

Completely different from before!
