"Yes." The palace servant next to him responded and immediately removed the tableware in front of more than a dozen envoys. After a while, he replaced it with a golden bowl, silver chopsticks, and poured wine.

The envoy of Xixia was stupid.

These things were tributed by them last year, but this year they were used to entertain them? If they still offer the same thing, wouldn’t they be unable to come to Taiwan?

"The emperor cared about the homesickness of all the envoys who came from afar and left home for several months, so he specially prepared these so that you can feel like returning home." Hua Chun said with a smile: "My emperor's friendship with Xixia, please convey it to the King of Xixia."

"It must be..." Several envoys nodded and responded awkwardly.

The leading envoy winked at the rest, and then bowed: "The dinner has not begun yet. Can you leave for half an hour? It's better to sort out the tribute ceremony."

"Yes." The emperor nodded: "It's not too late to ask you to invite you after the banquet officially begins."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The envoys of Xixia all looked solemn and ran very fast.

"Let's go around here in Furong Palace." The Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family also goes to the back hall to rest for a while and wait for the dinner to start gathering again."

"Yes." The concubines in the harem responded one after another, and the court officials began to talk and laugh in a low voice.

Hua Chun breathed a sigh of relief and leaned on the back of the chair and brought a cup of tea to drink.

"You are well prepared today." He Changan looked at Prince Xi's back as he stood up and left, and smiled and said to Hua Chun: "The prince should have some grudges."

After curling his lips, Hua Chun said, "It is not possible to please both sides everywhere in this world. Sometimes you have to choose one side to stand, so you can stand firmly for half a step. I have already decided to be loyal to the Lord, and it is inevitable that you will be hated by others."

"Are you really not afraid at all?" He Changan raised his eyebrows.

How dark things in this palace are, he may not have seen enough. This pride is only protected by the emperor to live so peacefully.

Hua Chun smiled: "Don't worry, second brother, I'm prepared!"

As he said that, Rahe Changan went to the corner next to him and lifted up his official uniform to show him: "Look, armor, barbarian wrist guards, I have prepared everything! No matter whether he has an open knife or a hidden gun, I am not afraid!"

He Changan was so amused that he was laughing and crying. Looking at the proud look on his face, he subconsciously wanted to reach out to touch his head.

However, when he reached mid-air, he realized that Jinghua was a man. How could men have such a strange behavior?

After a pause, he took his hand back as if nothing had happened and closed his official uniform for him: "You protect yourself so well, your second brother will be relieved."

Hua Chun was stunned and looked down at his slender fingers and tied his clothes for him. He felt a little blushing when he was cold.

The emperor turned his head and was curious where the people next to him had gone. When he looked around, he saw two people huddled together in the corner. He Changan reached out to get the clothes for Hua Jinghua, and the latter blushed and whispered something, and almost all of his heads were folded into one.

With his eyes slightly sunk, Yuwen Jie turned his head away: "Eunuch Qin, come find the Prime Minister."

"Yes." Eunuch Qin responded, looked up and found Prime Minister Hua, and hurried over to bring the person over.

"Emperor?" He was still smiling, and he saw that he had left behind something he had just said to He Changan.

Yuwen Jie said coldly: "When the foreign countries pay tribute later, you can find a way to ask them for ten gold mines."

What? Hua Chun was startled and couldn't laugh immediately: "Your Majesty, you can do it if you want the gold mine minister, but will there be too many ten places? All they came to are envoys, and I'm afraid they can't make this decision."

"My prime minister is omnipotent." Yuwen Jie raised his eyes and looked at her with a dark eyes and said, "Don't let my expectations of you."

Hua Chun: "…”

This is obviously a embarrassment. The people of Xixia are not stupid. Although they have dug a lot of gold mines in the past two years, there are only more than 20 mines published on the surface. Although there may be some people who have hidden it in private, there are so many official numbers. You need half of them as soon as you open your mouth. It is impossible to think about it. It is better to lead troops to conquer them directly.

With his hands folded, Hua Chun looked at the emperor with a flattering look on his face: "Your Majesty, I think five places are the limit. If it really doesn't work, two places are OK, what do you think?"

"Ten places."

"But if they don't agree, even if they are brilliant, I can't do anything. Let's go step by step, so I'll have to take three things this year, right?"

"Ten places."

"I really think it's impossible..."

"Ten places."

"Fuck!" Unable to bear it, Hua Chun stretched out his right hand and compared his middle finger to Yu Wen Jie.

This is simply shameless and unreasonable and obeying objective laws. If she makes things difficult for her, she will have the candy to eat?!

The emperor was stunned, looked at her gesture, and then looked at her face: "What did you say just now?"

"I said!" Hua Chun straightened his back and glared: "Ten places are impossible!"

"Huh?" The emperor half-closed his eyes, and the dim light spread in his eyes, falling on people's body, burning like a branding iron, making people's whole body hurt.

"It's impossible... I won't win it for Your Majesty." As soon as the expression collapsed, Hua Chun became cowardly. She bent down and gave a barely smile: "The emperor has given such instructions. I will definitely do my best and never give up until the goal is achieved!"

"That's good." The emperor nodded coldly, then turned around and entered the back hall, leaving her alone in the wind.

"This... is a bit difficult." He Chang'an stood beside him and touched his chin: "The envoys of Xixia are just as difficult every year. It would be nice to have more gifts this year. The emperor actually wants ten gold mines."

Hua Chun was about to cry, and the happiness she had before was completely gone. She looked at He Changan with a long face and asked, "Does the second brother think the emperor looks like a vampire?"

"What is a vampire?" He Changan was confused.

"It's just a ghost who likes to drink human blood." Hua Chun gritted her teeth: "The kind that can't stop until she sucks human blood!"

He laughed in a low voice, and He Changan shook his head: "It's not that scary. If you really fail to do it, I believe the emperor wouldn't blame him."

Who said no! Hua Chunwangtian, if the grace she finally won was not done well, the emperor would definitely take it back. That's all, with his kindness, he might have to cause trouble for her after taking it back!

It's really hard for the Prime Minister to do it!

He squatted in the corner and slapped his belly for an hour. When the dinner finally began, Hua Chun sat upright and looked at the envoy who came up to offer a gift very seriously.

"The harvest this year is not very good in the remote places of Xixia." The man bowed and said, "But in order to show Xixia's loyalty to Daliang, I still brought 3,000 cattle and sheep, 500 horses, 800 silk, and 30,000 stones of Xixia's rice. I hope Your Majesty will not be disgusted and accept the sincerity of Xixia."

Although these things are not expensive compared to last year, there are a lot more actual things. I guess I had prepared a luminous cup or something, but it was blocked by Hua Chun's actions.

The emperor did not say anything, the empress dowager did not look up, and the ministers around him were silent at the same time.

Hua Chun looked at the envoy with a smile and said, "Sincerity varies from person to person. Xixia is a small country. It is not easy to offer so many things."

The envoy looked up at her, with a slight dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he did not dare to say anything.

They can call themselves small countries, but they always say this and look down upon them, which makes them a little angry.

The envoy standing on the other side said, "These are just the opening scenes. Although the Xixia Kingdom is small, there are many people. I will pay tribute to Dongzhu 3,000 cows, and 1,000 taels of gold. I just want to express my respect."

Hua Chun nodded and raised his hand to applaud: "If Xiliang Kingdom comes to pay tribute and contribute such ten thousand taels of gold, my officials and people will definitely be quite shocked."

But if you are already producing gold in Xixia, what's so strange about giving you ten thousand taels?

Out of politeness, Hua Chun did not say the second half of the sentence, and the envoy at the bottom understood it, and his face was terrible for a moment.

The matter of tribute is not much different from negotiations, and whoever is weak will be waiting to be cheated.

The leading envoy couldn't help it and took two steps forward and spoke: "Although there are not many tributes, the Western Xia has been strong in recent years. I am afraid it is not inferior to the escort army on the Daliang border. It can also help Daliang fight at a critical moment."

Yo hey, show off your troops? Hua Chun's waist was straighter: "The Emperor must be very happy if Xixia is intent. At the junction between Daliang and Xixia, a lot of new catapults and iron-clothed cannons have been added recently. The lethality is much more impressive than human power, but it is easy to get out of fire. If one day accidentally hurts the soldiers on the border of Xixia, I will apologize for the ignorant soldiers, and I hope the king of Xixia Haihan."

Everyone: "..."

This is too shameless, it is a bare-hearted threat!

He Chang'an shook his head when he heard this, and the envoy of Xixia even turned pale: "Iron Clothes... Cannon?"

"Yes, I'll start using it soon." Hua Chun smiled and said, "You may have never seen it. It's just an explosive that was shot out by a cannon and could blow half of the city wall. No one survived within three meters of radius."

So awesome?!

Not only were the people of Xixia scared, but the civil and military officials of Daliang were also scared, but they were all official acting schools, and they tacitly did not destroy the prime minister's stage in public.

The envoys of Xixia were collectively silent, and Hua Chun continued: "I heard that many gold mines in Xixia are on the border. I am curious about what the gold mines look like. Since you have come from afar and are full of sincerity, why not send a few gold mines to Daliang? It is also possible to add more safety measures to the cannons to avoid fire from happening at any time."

"this……"

"It doesn't matter if it's a dilemma." Prime Minister Hua waved his hand amiably: "If anyone is curious, you can go and see it yourself. When I have time, I can also take the soldiers on the border to open my eyes."
