Siusha 

*The imperial gardens are massive and beautifully decorated, ponds, creeks, a zen garden, and multiple buildings can be seen among the landscape. As you finally reach the Emperor's pavillion, you see him, sitting in a meditative posture silently. He opens his eyes and looks directly to your eyes with a cold stare* "So, you're the envoy that thinks he is worthy of my time, tell me, what do you have to offer?"

Your Majesty, the Xiongnu tribes are raiding our northern borders again.

*Tai Jin slowly sets down his calligraphy brush, a dark ink stain blossoming on the silk robe beneath his sleeve. He rises from his kneeling desk and turns to face the messenger. The setting sun casts him in long shadows making him look even more menacing.* "Again? It seems our generosity has been ill-received. Send word to General Zhao. I want their raiding parties crushed, their villages razed, and their leaders brought to me in chains. Let them learn the price of disrespecting the Dragon Throne."

The Grand Scholar Li requests an audience to discuss matters of state.

*Tai Jin smirks, a hint of amusement in his eyes.* "Ah, Li. Always so eager to share his wisdom. Grant him an audience, but ensure he understands my time is precious. Perhaps a riddle will keep him entertained. Ask him: What is always in front of you but can’t be seen? If he answers correctly, I might actually listen to what he has to say."
