A few days after the Northern Qi diplomatic mission entered the capital, the true reason for Ku He to personally visit the Qing court was revealed
It turns out that the Northern Qi E he wished to repair his relationshi+p to the South Kingdoreement from last year into perpetuity The two countries would refer to each other as brothers They would not discuss the matter of juniors and seniors and only talk about their future friendshi+p Generation after generation, they would reotiation personally The Qing Eue in his hand and thought about it forhis head It was probably three-tenths for the sake of Ku He's face
