Chapter 4: The Envoy's Visit

Great Xia is located in the Central Plains, the territory is vast, there are many small countries around, and there have always been endless wars, until Xia Yichen's father's generation, an armistice agreement was signed, and countries recuperate, and because of this, in recent years, the people of the surrounding countries have lived in peace, the people are prosperous, the economic development is rapid, and the national strength has been greatly improved.

is the so-called full of warmth and thinking about that desire, what about this person, once he has eaten and drunk enough, he wants to toss something out.

The lord of Xiliang is such a person who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

He saw that there were many people in Daxia and that he had the dangerous idea of grabbing a few cities in his heart, and if he succeeded, he would naturally become the Ming Jun in the history of Xiliang. But he knew in his heart that he couldn't do it alone, so he began to secretly inquire into the intentions of other countries to see if anyone had the same idea as him.

Coincidentally, he found out that the lord of Chaoyun Kingdom seemed to have this intention, so he sent someone to Chaoyun Kingdom with rich gifts to discuss the matter in detail.

However, there was a Great Xia between the two of them, and if they wanted to go to Chaoyun Kingdom, they had to pass through Great Xia.

The lord of Xiliang thought about it again and again and decided to take a risk.

If it is really discovered, it is impossible to say that the two countries are married.

So, Xiliang's envoys set off with a large number of gold, silver, jewelry, and full sincerity.

They didn't expect that they would be arrested as soon as they entered the Great Xia Kingdom.

As soon as the lord heard this, he hurriedly sent an envoy to ask for someone, and by the way, he also pulled Beiyan to accompany him, so as to strengthen his prestige.

Seeing that Xia Yichen's face was not good, the Xiliang envoy hurriedly explained, "This matter is still in the negotiation stage, so it has not been advertised to the world, please forgive the emperor, for this reason, our lord specially ordered Weichen to send 500 silk and satin, 1,000 good horses, 50,000 taels of gold, silver and jewelry to the emperor to make amends." ”

To put it bluntly, he just wants to give some benefits and ask him to raise his noble hand.

Xia Yichen had a calm face and was silent, Xiliang, Beiyan, and Chaoyun were originally all vassal states of Great Xia, since the signing of the armistice agreement, although Great Xia did not ask the surrounding countries to continue to pay tribute, but in the past, they were also the overlords of these small countries, and now Xiliang and Chaoyun's approach is undoubtedly not to take Great Xia in their eyes.

When the envoys of Beiyan saw that they all talked about this, Xia Yichen didn't even open his mouth to say that he would let him go, and he couldn't help but sit still.

He stood up and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, "If the emperor doesn't open his mouth to promise, is it because Xiliang's gift of atonement is too thin?" But then again, the gifts and officials withheld by Daxia belonged to Xiliang, so why did the emperor have to withhold them and not return them, and make it difficult for Xiliang, has the emperor forgotten the agreement signed by the emperor of your country when he was alive? ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire hall instantly became extremely cold, so quiet that you could hear a needle falling.

The previous humility of the Xiliang envoy was soft, and although the Beiyan envoy's words were a little tougher, it seemed that he couldn't find anything to fault with him.

Xia Yichen's face became heavier and heavier, and the fists under the long sleeves became tighter and tighter.

How can this be reasonable, he dares to use the emperor to suppress him!

It's just daring!

A storm was about to strike, and everyone in the hall couldn't help but sweat in their hearts.

At this time, a "click" sound sounded intermittently.

It was not loud, but it was very abrupt in the silent hall.

Xia Yichen naturally heard this abnormal sound, he turned his head, and saw Queen Mu Huayin, who was sitting not far from him, holding a handful of melon seeds, knocking on his face as if no one was around, with an expression on his face that it was not a big deal to see the excitement.

Click......

All the eyes of the hall were instantly focused on the figure who was eating melon seeds.

Feeling the burning gaze gathered on him, Mu Huayin's action of knocking melon seeds gradually slowed down.

She glanced at her and saw that Xia Yichen was staring at her with a murderous gaze, and the anger on her face seemed to be hidden no longer.

It feels like it's about to explode in the next second.

She was so frightened that her hands shook, and all the melon seeds fell to the ground.

Time seemed to freeze, and the temple was as silent as death.

Only she took a deep breath, patted the melon seed shell on her clothes, stood up, and walked down the hall unhurriedly.
