After breakfast, the emperor left with the Minister of War and others.
Nalan Jinnian was also called away by the emperor.
After the emperor left, Wen Nuan said to Chen Huan, "Chen Huan, what's going on with the rumor that my great-uncle embezzled money from the former treasury?"
Chen Huan also knew that Wen Nuan would ask her when he came back, so she said: "The princess asked me to pay attention to that teahouse, so I arranged for someone to pay attention to it. Sure enough, there is a person there every day, intentionally or unintentionally spreading the news about the rich people of our Duke Anguo's mansion. But the enemy country said that they didn’t know how our money came so quickly, and then slowly said that it might be because my uncle betrayed the King of Huainan, cooperated with the court, destroyed the King of Huainan and the Guo family, and then got The money from the former treasury under the control of the King of Huainan and Guo Jiamei. When he said this, the Royal Censor and the Vice-President of Taiyuan Hospital happened to come to the teahouse to drink tea, and they also heard it. Second Oh my god, the Censor read a copy of my uncle's book in the court hall, and these rumors spread to everyone."
"Have you found out who the person who spread the rumors in the restaurant is?" After hearing this, Wen Nuan understood that this rumor was directed at their Duke Anguo's mansion.
Wang Xiao's identity has not been confirmed yet, which is a hidden danger.
Nuan Nuan also wants to know who else wants to deal with them now.
"It was found out that the person was a distant relative of the Guo family."
The people who stayed from the Queen's faction
After all, although the eldest prince was punished to guard the imperial mausoleum, as the eldest son, he still had the support of some people with more traditional ideas.
Moreover, the Guo family tree has deep roots. Even if the family is exterminated, there will always be some fish that slip through the net.
"Have you checked who that person has been in contact with recently?"
"That man is a businessman, and he is known to people from all walks of life. He often goes to teahouses, gambling houses and spring buildings. Sometimes he also goes to the painting boat where literati like to hang out. He eats and drinks with many friends every day, and comes into contact with many people. It's just right There was a Peach Blossom Festival a while ago, and several sons and grandsons of important officials in the imperial court came into contact, but I couldn't find out who was behind him. It's just that he went to Jianghuai Mansion some time ago and passed by the imperial mausoleum!"
She found out that some time ago, this person had contact with the grandson of the Minister of Household Affairs, the son-in-law of the Minister of War, the son of the Minister of Dali Temple, the son of Shuntian Prefecture Yin, and the brother-in-law of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division...
But Nuan Nuan didn't want to miss any clues, so he said: "Have you found out who he has contacted? Give me a copy of the list without revealing it."
Chen Huan nodded: "Yes!"
Nuan Nuan asked again: "Is there anything unusual during my absence? Including my eldest brother, second brother, and my father's side."
Wen Nuan was worried that that person would take advantage of Wen Chun and others. After all, grandma and mother-in-law rarely went out, so those people rarely had the opportunity to take action.
And the eldest brother is getting married soon, which is also a good opportunity.
Chen Huan shook his head: "I didn't find anything unusual."
Nuan Nuan nodded: "Hello there, thank you for your hard work. Please send someone to pay more attention to my eldest brother, second brother and the people around my father recently."
"Slave, you obey!"

Morning next day
The emperor then told the results of their discussion yesterday.
"What do you think of this matter?"
The Minister of War immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue followed up and said: "Your Majesty is wise, so we in Nalan Kingdom don't have to worry about the dangers of the Three Kingdoms!"
The soldiers and horses of the five cities and others also agreed: "Your Majesty is wise!"
... ..
When the third prince heard this, he glanced at Nalan Jinnian and saw his calm face. He had obviously known about this for a long time. His mind suddenly changed. Could it be that the seventeenth prince wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take over southern Xinjiang in one fell swoop, or even dominate the world
No, the Nalan Kingdom is not strong enough to dominate the world, but if they send troops to prevent the other three countries from taking action, there is absolutely no problem in taking over southern Xinjiang.
The third prince doesn't know the true strength of Nalan Kingdom now, but he still understands Nalan Jinnian. As long as he takes action, it will be just around the corner to win the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom!
So good!
By capturing the Southern Border Kingdom, the strength of the Nalan Kingdom will be greatly increased. In the future, if we have food, medicine for wounds, and a few more iron mines, why should we be afraid of the Beiming Kingdom? It will be just around the corner to capture the Beiming Kingdom and dominate the world!
His requirements are not high. By the time he ascends to the throne, it will be enough to have conquered Nanjiang and Beiming.
Leave the remaining Xihua Kingdom and Dongling Kingdom to yourself!
Otherwise, I will have no achievements in the history books.
Of course, Xihua Kingdom and Dongling Kingdom are not something to be afraid of, and the Seventeenth Emperor's Uncle will no longer exist at that time.
Thinking of this, the third prince seconded his opinion: "Father is wise!"
The Minister of Punishment stood up after hearing this: "Your Majesty, think twice, I think it is absolutely impossible! Now we are at war with the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom. If we send another 50,000 elite troops to the borders of the three countries, it will cause misunderstandings and annoy the other three countries, and they will take the opportunity to attack us. If Nalan Kingdom sends troops, our Nalan Kingdom will be in danger!"
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry also stood up: "Your Majesty, think twice! I feel that what the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment said is right! This must not be done!"
Then the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Personnel, the Censor, and some ministers all raised objections.
It is said that the current strength of Nalan Kingdom is not enough to compete with the four countries at the same time, so they should not send troops to worry about giving the other three countries an excuse to send troops to attack Nalan Kingdom, causing chaos in the world.
The emperor nodded: "I know the worries of you all, but the ambitions of the four countries have already been revealed. We are sending troops as a precaution. We are sending troops without knowing it and mobilizing them secretly. Otherwise, if the other three countries take the opportunity to add insult to injury, we, the Nalan Kingdom, will be in a precarious position." Passive. Seventeenth Emperor's brother, Princess Hui'an, do you think that's right?"
The emperor wanted Nalan Jinnian to convince everyone. As long as he said something, with his title of God of War, everyone would not object.
Nalan Jinnian: "What the emperor said is true."
He is too lazy to convince everyone!
Nuan Nuan also came to the morning court today. The emperor called his name, and she could only reply: "Your Majesty is wise! It's time to send troops to guard, just in case, and we can have a response."
The Minister of Works glanced at Wen Nuan: "Princess Hui'an, I'm afraid she doesn't quite understand the current strength of Nalan Kingdom and the other four countries! If the four countries all send troops to Nalan Kingdom, the consequences will be disastrous. Princess Hui'an, please think twice when you speak!"
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was quite dissatisfied with Wen Nuan at the moment, because this woman actually made the third prince fall in love with her and protect her, so that he would not take action against Wang Xiao for the time being. This woman is simply a vixen!
She will definitely be a disaster to the country in the future!
After saying that, the Minister of War stopped looking at Nuan Nuan and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, how can we mobilize an army of 50,000 people instead of just five people secretly without being discovered by neighboring countries? There are spies from various countries in our Nalan country. This is simply impossible. Your Majesty, think twice!”
Then he looked at Wen Nuan: "Perhaps Princess Hui'an has a way? After all, Princess Hui'an has great magical powers and is omnipotent! Princess Hui'an might as well talk about it, if it is really possible to mobilize hundreds of thousands of soldiers without anyone noticing. If the horse doesn't let anyone know, the humble minister has nothing to say!"
