When Ouyang Xiu and Feng Hao entered the main gate of the royal city, Chu Yuan and Gao Yun just arrived at the main gate of the palace and met Xiao Daocheng who was welcoming the visitors. As soon as the escorting Zhao troops entered the royal city, Gao Yun hurriedly came up to receive Ouyang Xiu.

He also asked Feng Hao to come down and drive the horse on his behalf, but Feng Hao asked them to follow behind the motorcade. Even if they entered the royal city, they could not let others take over for him, because this involved some problems.

Feng Hao held the reins. It was originally a cold winter weather. Because Feng Hao came out wearing armor and did not wear an extra fur coat, his hands and face were already cold from the cold wind, probably because of the coldness.

, the climate here is like the place between the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in the real world. It is not only wet and cold, but also a bit cold.

"Your Majesty, have you arrived at the Royal City?" Ouyang Xiu opened the curtains and saw the tall buildings and some of the imperial city's defense facilities. He could conclude that he had arrived inside the Royal City.

"Sir, we will be at the banquet hall shortly." Feng Hao held the reins tightly with both hands and turned to Ouyang Xiu in the car.

Suddenly, Ouyang Xiu opened the car curtain and jumped out of the car. Feng Hao had no time to react. Seeing Ouyang Xiu get out of the car, Feng Hao quickly tightened the reins, fearing that the car would hit Ouyang Xiu, so everyone gathered around to see if Ouyang Xiu was injured.

No, the envoy of the Song Dynasty had just established some favorable impressions of Feng Hao for unknown reasons, but Ouyang Xiu came down.

"Sir, are you injured anywhere?"

"Feng Hao, why are you driving so erratically?"

So Ouyang Xiu smiled and defended Feng Hao. He said that he could no longer stay in the car. Since the kings of the allied countries had already led the carriages for the ministers of the allied countries, Ouyang Xiu asked him to drive to the banquet hall for him. Ouyang Xiu

He couldn't bear it, not to mention he had seen Feng Hao's demeanor, so from now on, he would pay tribute to Feng Hao as an envoy of the Song Dynasty.

"Your Majesty treats your foreign minister like this, and I am deeply grateful. Please accept my bow!" Ouyang Xiu took a step back and bowed to Feng Hao, who was also getting out of the car.

"Sir's great gift, Gu Ke can never bear it. Now our country of Zhao is in need of the support of the Song Dynasty. I really admire and respect your talent for pulling carts and horses for Mr. Zhao. Secondly, you are the envoy of the Song Dynasty. Our country of Zhao is a small country in the early days of the Song Dynasty."

"Li, I, the king, am nothing more than a low-ranking official of the sixth rank who matches your country. I can pull a cart for you, so why not?" After Feng Hao organized his words, as soon as he said these words, all the envoys of the Song Dynasty and the envoys of the Song Dynasty were present.

The new army of the Song Dynasty who guarded the envoys was greatly shocked. Is this Feng Hao's courage?

"Your Majesty, the foreign minister really can't say anything more after hearing what the king said. Please allow the foreign minister to enter the banquet hall with you all." Ouyang Xiu was completely speechless by Feng Hao's words, so he spoke in the most sincere manner.

He emotionally asked Feng Hao to enter the banquet hall with him to participate in the banquet.

Seeing that Ouyang Xiu refused, Feng Hao had no choice but to obey Ouyang Xiu's wishes. After leading the carriage to the stable, Feng Hao and all the accompanying Zhao officials in Beijing entered together with the envoys of the Song Dynasty and the guards.

Ballroom.

The banquet hall was very thoughtfully decorated, showing the style of national ceremony, and all the banquets were mainly state banquets. It seemed that Feng Hao had put in a lot of effort to receive Ouyang Xiu this time.

The civil and military ministers of Zhao State and the envoys of Song Dynasty stood on the left and right, and Feng Hao himself returned to the throne to face the ministers. Now his status should be transformed into the king of a country.

"Kowtow to my king, long live, long live, long live!" Zhao Guo's civil and military officials took the lead in bowing.

Immediately afterwards, Ouyang Xiu himself, as a representative, also paid homage:

"I, Ouyang Xiu, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, wish to say long live the King of Zhao, long live long live, long live long live!"

"Everyone, please stand down." Feng Hao showed his royal spirit at this time. When facing envoys from allied countries, he must not talk to them with a young man's mentality. In that case, Zhao Kuangyin would think that he was just a young man, and he would not be able to talk to them.

Not an elegant hall.

Thank you, Your Majesty——

After the officials stood up, Ouyang Xiu's 120 envoys from the Song Dynasty and the guard general Di Qing also stood up together with the civil and military officials of Zhao State.

"Please take the envoys of the Song Dynasty on the right side, and our ministers on the left side." Feng Hao extended his right hand to indicate that the envoys of the Song Dynasty belonging to Ouyang Xiu should take their seats on the right side.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat." Ouyang Xiu and a hundred others bowed together.

After the ministers sat down, the outside of the banquet palace was covered with white snow. It turned out that it was snowing heavily...

"Today the envoy of the Song Dynasty came to our Zhao Kingdom. It is really our Zhao Kingdom's good fortune, and it is also our Feng Hao's good fortune." Feng Hao nodded slightly.

"The foreign minister is ashamed. Today the king personally drives for the foreign minister. The foreign minister has mixed feelings in his heart and doesn't know what to say. Please accept me to pay homage to the king." Ouyang Xiu quickly stood up and paid homage to Feng Hao.

"Sir, you are very polite. You don't have to be like this. Now that our two countries, Song and Zhao, have become brotherly countries, do we still need such a big gift? Today I have prepared a lot of delicious food and wine for the envoys of the Song Dynasty. Please enjoy it slowly." Feng Hao.

He stood up and waved his arms so that the officials could enjoy the banquet.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the ministers worshiped together.

Gao Yun temporarily put together a palace band, which was composed of folk musicians with superb understanding and skills of music, with a total of thirty-two people.

In addition, Feng Hao appointed an all-powerful woman to serve as the palace music director, and led these musicians to perform on large occasions.

"Mr. Ouyang, I would like to offer you a glass of wine, Mr. Ouyang." Feng Hao smiled at His Highness Ouyang Xiu while holding a glass of golden wine.

The two looked at each other and smiled. Ouyang Xiu quickly stood up, picked up the Jin Jue and toasted Feng Hao with a glass of wine.

"Chang Gong, play a song?" Feng Hao asked Gao Changgong, who was guarding him next to him.

"According to the order." Gao Changgong jumped up and took the bamboo flute from the musician's hand, and the officials cheered in unison.

Previously, Gao Changgong played the song "The Song of King Lanling Entering the Army" in the capital of the Song Dynasty. Now that this song can be recited in the world, it is really a blessing for the people of the world and a blessing for those who love music.

When Gao Changgong played "The Song of King Lanling Entering the Battle", the ministers of Zhao State closed their eyes one after another, especially the generals of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, such as Guo Wei and his son, Liu Zhiyuan and others.

"Well...it is indeed high-pitched." His Highness Liu Yu nodded. This song is simply the most high-pitched song in the army. If this song can be played in the army, it will surely inspire the morale of the army and cheer up the whole army.

Ouyang Xiu was already intoxicated by it. The envoy of the Song Dynasty had heard it once before, but when he heard it again this time, the level of intoxication was even deeper. There was only the sound of the flute in the hall, no noise, and even the sound of breathing was covered up by the sound of the flute.
