The banquet was going on as people exchanged glasses of wine and exchanged cups.
At this time, a guard came to Jiang Donglin and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Really?" Jiang Donglin looked at the guard and asked.
"Come back to the commander, the situation is true." the guard said.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Qiulu asked at the side.
"Brother Imperial, Chun Xiao has returned from the western front."
"We have entered the palace now."
"oh?"
"Just in time, send someone over quickly." Jiang Qiulu said.
"Brother Imperial, there's no need to bother." A voice sounded outside the gate.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found someone walking in.
Wearing a black battle suit and resoluteness between his brows, he looks like a tough guy at first glance.
This person is Jiang Qiulu's younger brother, General Jiang Chunxiao of Zhenxi.
"Hey, look who's back."
"Isn't this our general?" Jiang Qiulu said.
Jiang Chunxiao's reputation is known to all surrounding countries.
At a young age, he could become a famous general of the Great Xia Dynasty, stationed on the western front, and resist the attacks of tigers and wolves in the Western Regions.
Nowadays, the war between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Western Region Dynasty is raging in Longxing Continent, and Jiang Chunxiao's reputation is even greater than before.
"Brother Imperial, the war just ended, so it took some time." Jiang Chunxiao said.
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter, just come back."
"When I come back this time, I must stay longer in Kyoto City."
"Exactly one month later, there will be a canonization ceremony." Jiang Qiulu said.
Jiang Chunxiao knew the purpose of the ceremony after thinking about it for a moment.
"Your Majesty, Chun Xiao has just returned. Please invite him to take a seat." Concubine De beside her gently reminded her.
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot." Jiang Qiulu said, slapping his forehead.
As soon as Jiang Chunxiao took his seat, a strange voice came from the room.
"Your Majesty, the foreign minister is confused about something."
The Turkic envoy stood up, saluted Jiang Qiulu and then spoke.
"Speak." Jiang Qiulu agreed.
"The general just now has never saluted His Majesty."
"But His Majesty did not punish him, so he had doubts." The Turkic envoy said.
"What do you want to ask?" Jiang Chunxiao looked at the envoy with a gloomy face and said coldly.
Jiang Qiulu raised his hand to stop Jiang Chunxiao.
"This lord doesn't know something. This person is my younger brother."
"Between relatives, some etiquette is dispensed with." Jiang Qiulu said slowly.
"I see."
"In the Turkic dynasty, no matter whether they are ministers or relatives of the emperor, they must pay homage to the king when they see him."
"That's why the foreign minister was confused just now."
After Jiang Qiulu heard this, he didn't say anything and just nodded.
Seeing that Jiang Qiulu was unmoved, the Turkic envoys retreated.
In fact, Jiang Qiulu certainly knew in his heart that this sixth man was obviously causing trouble.
People at this time paid great attention to etiquette.
I thought Jiang Qiulu was very concerned about this matter, but unexpectedly Jiang Qiulu didn't make any reaction.
This move was purely to disgust Jiang Qiulu and deliberately arouse the resentment and opinions of the ministers of the Great Xia Dynasty.
After a while, the Turkic envoy was about to get up again.
Suddenly, Jiang Qiulu slapped the table and stood up.
"By the way, dear friends."
"I suddenly feel itchy and want to spar."
"May I ask which of my beloveds can compete with me in swordsmanship?"
After Jiang Qiulu finished speaking, his eyes were burning as he scanned the hall, glancing at the Turkic envoy from time to time.
Everyone was startled, thinking that Jiang Qiulu was going to get angry.
But Jiang Qiulu didn't show it, he just said that he wanted to learn from each other.
Everyone knows that Jiang Qiulu's strength has improved by leaps and bounds under the guidance of two masters, Jiang Donglin and Di Yunhao.
Ordinary people are no match for Jiang Qiulu.
The Turkic envoy didn't know what was going on with Jiang Qiulu, so he immediately stopped and buried his head low.
Afraid of meeting Jiang Qiulu's eyes.
This series of actions brought a mocking smile to Jiang Qiulu's face.
"Oh, what a pity." Jiang Qiulu said pretendingly.
"Brother, why go to such trouble? Just arrest him." Jiang Donglin poured another drink for Jiang Qiulu and said a little unbearably.
"There's no rush, let's put him aside first."
"If he wants to die, I will satisfy his request." Jiang Qiulu said in a low voice.
Under Jiang Qiulu's intimidation, the banquet finally ended.
Inside the Tai Chi Hall.
"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Nanyue Dynasty wants to see you." Li Mingzhi entered the Taiji Hall and reported to Jiang Qiulu.
"Xuan!"
Later, Jiang Qiulu began to search for memories about the South Vietnam Dynasty in his mind.
Since the establishment of the Daxia Dynasty, the South Vietnam Dynasty has always been in a state of establishing diplomatic relations with the Daxia Dynasty.
There was no conflict and no war.
"Brother Imperial, the South Vietnamese envoy wants to see you, probably because he has something to ask for." Jiang Donglin said.
"I don't know." Jiang Qiulu shook his head and said.
"There has never been any conflict between the Daxia Dynasty and the Nanyue Dynasty."
"If possible, we can treat them as allies." Jiang Qiulu said.
"But I heard that the South Vietnamese Dynasty was relatively backward both militarily and economically."
"The surrounding dynasties are basically unwilling to establish diplomatic relations with it." Jiang Donglin said.
"No matter what the strength is, as long as we can achieve a win-win situation."
"Although the South Vietnam Dynasty is relatively backward, it is quite rich in various resources." Jiang Qiulu said.
Some of the resources of the South Vietnam Dynasty are now important strategic materials.
But people nowadays don't have a clear understanding of these materials, so the trade of the South Vietnam Dynasty has been in a sluggish state.
Not long after, envoys from the Nanyue Dynasty entered the Tai Chi Hall.
"Foreign Minister Wei Rugang, pay homage to Your Majesty."
"No need to be so polite, just stay on your side."
"I wonder why Mr. Wei came to see me?" Jiang Qiulu asked.
Then Wei Rugang took out a box.
"Your Majesty, this is my 100-day gift from the emperor to the prince."
"I told the emperor that it must be handed over to His Majesty personally." Wei Rugang said.
Li Mingzhi stepped forward, took the box, and delivered it to Jiang Qiulu.
Jiang Qiulu opened it and saw that it was an extremely exquisite jade pendant.
The jade pendant is entirely emerald green, with the symbol of the Great Xia Dynasty carved on it, a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon.
Not only that, the periphery of the jade pendant is also decorated with gold, making it look extremely precious at first glance.
"Your Majesty is interested."
"Master Wei, you must have come to see me for more than just giving gifts, right?" Jiang Qiulu said.
"Your Majesty's intuition is indeed keen. I do have something to ask of the Emperor." Wei Rugang said with an embarrassed smile.
"Then tell me what the specific matter is."
"Let's see if I can help you with anything." Jiang Qiulu said.
