"These two are truly extraordinary! Not only did they manipulate all the surrounding barbarians, but in the end, those people even had to thank our Han Dynasty for its generosity!! Their strategies are flawless, and they have a keen understanding of human nature. They are truly remarkable!"

After carefully reading the secret letter, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but smile, praising Cheng Yu and Jia Xu highly.

"Haha~, yes, our great Han not only wants to reap all the benefits, but also to be the best person, otherwise how can we dominate all directions?"

Liu Hong couldn't help but laugh out loud, seemingly enjoying the feeling of being able to control the surrounding barbarians at will. Before the mighty Han Dynasty, the barbarians were nothing more than playthings.

Seeing the emperor's expression, Xi Zhicai simply smiled and said nothing more. After all, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he certainly had the confidence to say such things.

Just then, the eunuch standing outside the door suddenly strode in.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Minister of Agriculture, along with several agricultural officials, are requesting an audience outside the palace!"

"Oh? Quickly, let them in!"

"promise!"

The eunuch received the order and hurriedly ran out.

Soon, Cao Song and several agricultural officials followed the eunuch in.

"Hehe~, Zhicai, look, it's true what they say, 'Speak of melons, and melons appear'!"

"Wow~, Your Majesty, you're amazing!..."

Xi Zhicai was speechless. Looking at Cao Song and the others who came in carrying melons, he began to doubt whether the emperor could really predict the future!

At this moment, Cao Song and the others arrived at the center of the main hall. They bowed to Liu Hong while holding watermelons.

"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, pay our respects!"

Liu Hong nodded, "Please, everyone, no need for formalities!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Hehe~ Grand Minister of Agriculture, stop holding that melon, bring it up here for me to see!"

Seeing the comical way Cao Song and the others were bowing with watermelons, Liu Hong couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Oh, Your Majesty, look how round and beautiful this melon is!"

Cao Song responded in agreement and quickly placed the watermelon he was carrying on Liu Hong's table.

"Hmm!! Not bad, not bad!"

Looking at the watermelon in front of him, Liu Hong smiled and nodded.

"Zhang Rang!"

"Yes, sir!"

Zhang Rang, who was standing by, quickly bowed and came to Liu Hong's side.

"Go immediately and summon the Grand Tutor, Grand Commandant, Minister of Works, Minister of Agriculture, General-in-Chief, Imperial Guard General, as well as Xu Rong, Zhu Jun, Huang Zhong, and Wang Yue to the palace to enjoy the gossip!"
