After scanning the ministers and the highly seated Emperor Gaozong of Qi, Zan Mo proudly declared, "The Emperor of Great Jin decrees! If you wish to negotiate peace, the Qi must satisfy the following conditions!"
Emperor Gaozong of Qi smiled benignly, "But speak freely, envoy. It is all for the well-being of the people and to ensure that there will be no more wars between our two nations. I am a merciful sovereign, a few mere conditions, which I shall certainly strive to fulfill."
Zan Mo looked coldly at the monarch and his courtiers in this palace, feeling a sense of discomfort amidst the vile atmosphere.
Even to the Jin people, they looked down upon Emperor Gaozong of Qi and Qin Huizhi, these unctuous ministers, who, despite their ability to offer advantages unattainable on the battlefield, still earned contempt.
Otherwise, these Jin envoys would not be openly cursing these key figures of the Qi court on the court floor.
