The third prince just wanted to plant a seed of doubt in his father's heart!
Therefore, when the money from the former treasury comes down, he must find it first.
At this morning's court meeting, the emperor talked about the expansion of the city, and then asked Wen Jiarui and Wang Xiao when they would go out as envoys.
Both of them wanted to do it as soon as possible, and the emperor also wanted it, and then the day was set for tomorrow.
After the mission was decided, a minister suggested that preparations for the Wanshou Festival should begin.
During the Longevity Festival, many envoys from other countries will visit.
The Longevity Festival in every country is full of overt and covert struggles, and it is turbulent!
On Dongling Kingdom's Longevity Festival, Nalan Kingdom shines brightly and wins the cities of so many countries. This time they will try their best to make things difficult for Nalan Kingdom and win back the lost face and cities.
So there was a little heated discussion in the court about how to proactively respond to the visits from various countries during the Wanshou Festival!
Compared to the expansion of the outer city, this matter is even bigger!

Down towards the back
When Wen Jiarui returned to his residence, he discussed his mission to Dongling tomorrow morning.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu immediately went to check his salute again, worried that something was missing.
After Nuan Nuan heard about it, he went to the main courtyard to find Wen Jiarui.
Wang Xiao went to the military camp to inform the soldiers who were on the envoy, but they were not there.
Wu is currently packing Wen Jiarui's luggage in the room.
Nuan Nuan walked into the house: "Dad, I heard that we will set off tomorrow?"
"Yes! The emperor wants to resolve this matter as soon as possible."
On this mission, Wen Jiarui and Yang Lan took several guards with them to the Tangling Palace.
Wang Xiao leads an army of 500,000 people at the border of Dongling at any time, which can be regarded as a threat!
If the Lord of Dongling Kingdom does not cooperate, then attack directly!
We must defend the dignity of our country!
Nuan Nuan couldn't help but ask: "Who are the people on this mission?"
Wen Jiarui then said: "As a civil servant, I and Yang Lan from Zhen Guogong, as well as your uncle and Liu Kai as military commanders. Then there will be a thousand accompanying guards and accompanying imperial doctors. When we reach the border, we will mobilize an army of 300,000 troops..." .. .”
Wen Jiarui said something.
Yang Lan, the Duke of Zhenguo, isn’t that the nephew of Lin Shan’s wife, Yang Qiyue
Three years ago, at the age of seventeen, he was ranked second in high school and then entered the Ministry of Industry. In just three years, he became a doctor.
Although his official position is not high, his ability is there.
Missing a chance for promotion.
This alone is an opportunity.
Nowadays, most of the people in Nalan Kingdom's court are veterans who are over fifty years old, and Han Shoufu is over sixty years old. He is often in poor health and has rarely participated in political affairs. The emperor respected him, so he allowed him to fulfill his position as chief minister!
As for the prime minister, the emperor seems to have deliberately neglected him and only reused the six departments.
However, these veterans are old and cannot last more than a few years. We really need to start promoting new people.
Nuan Nuan thought of what he noticed when he was on a mission to Dongling last time and whispered: "Dad, the prince that the Lord of Dongling likes the most is not the prince. He has a prince whom he loves very much. That prince... ..."
Nuan Nuan gave a bottle of something to Wen Jiarui.
Wen Jiarui was startled when he heard this. He took it and nodded solemnly.
If this is really the case, then his confidence will be much greater during this mission.
"Don't worry, Sister Nuan, dad will definitely seek justice from Dongling Kingdom this time!"
Wen Nuan smiled and nodded: "It's natural. It's a long journey, so I'll prepare some good medicines for dad that are necessary for home travel. They are all in a medicine box. They are marked. Don't get them mixed up."
Nuan Nuan glanced at the bottle in his hand.
Wen Jiarui shook the bottle: "Okay!"
"Dad, didn't I win a section of the Naling Mountains in Dongling Kingdom last time?" Only then did Nuan Nuan begin to tell her the real reason for coming.
Wen Jiarui nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"
That's a volcano. In fact, it won't be of much use. Of course, it's better than nothing.
"A volcano erupted in that mountain range before, and the area was covered with volcanic ash. I want you to help me transport a few carts of the volcanic ash back during this mission."
"What is the use of volcanic ash?" Wen Jiarui asked in surprise.
Nuan Nuan: "I heard that volcanic ash can be used to build roads and bridges after being ground into fine powder and mixed with lime. I wasn't sure about it during the group fight, so I want you to bring some back and I'll have people study how to use it!"
Wen Jiarui didn't expect volcanic ash to have such uses. If it is true, that would be great. He nodded: "Okay! I'll have more luck."

During lunch, Nalan Jinnian came back from the secret guard camp and brought two people back with him.
They are twin sisters who look exactly the same. One is named Chen Huan and the other is named Chen Xi.
It's for warmth.
The two came to Wen Nuan and saluted respectfully: "Chen Huan/Chen Xi have met Princess Hui'an."
The two of them were a little excited. They were chosen to serve Princess Hui'an, and they were envied by so many people!
Nuan Nuan looked at Nalan Jinnian: "Who are these two people?"
"I see that all the useful people around you have been arranged and put at your disposal. They are proficient in arithmetic and disguise."
Nuan Nuan nodded and did not refuse: "Thank you!"
It just so happened that she also planned to ask Yaxing to send some people over, buy some new people and train them, so that they could be proficient in arithmetic and help with the business.
Nuan Nuan looked at the two of them and said, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Go back to the princess, I've already eaten."
Nuan Nuan nodded: "Okay, then I will let you get familiar with the environment first. We will start formal training with everyone tomorrow. Aster will tell you the details."
"Yes!" they both said in unison.
"Ziwan, take Chen Huan and Chen Xi down to settle down. Then get familiar with the environment."
"Yes, Miss Three."
Zi Wan took the two of them down.
Only then did Nalan Jinnian whisper:
"I also arranged for twenty secret guards to secretly protect Uncle Wen." He went to the secret guard camp to personally select people to protect Wen Jiarui.
"The imperial brother also secretly sent out a hundred Jinlong Guards. They are the most skilled among the Jinlong Guards. Moreover, during this mission, the more than a hundred prisoners of war will be divided into two groups on the ship. I'm looking for someone I disguised myself and asked someone to secretly send him to the border, where he will meet up with Uncle Wen and his party. I have arranged everything, so you don’t have to worry about this mission."
Nuan Nuan felt warm in his heart and nodded: "Okay."
How nice to have a man who takes the initiative to arrange everything without having to say anything himself!
Over the years, Wen Jiarui has practiced martial arts every day and has some skills, but it is not enough to meet a real dead soldier.
Normally, the two countries would not kill each other if they met each other, but this time the situation is special, and prisoners are escorted there, so the road will definitely not be peaceful!
She knew there must be enough manpower arranged, but she couldn't help but worry.
It would naturally be better if Nalan Jinnian could send some more secret guards to protect him, and to have the tiger leave the mountain.
Nuan Nuan thought about road construction and said, "Have you ever heard of Mirage?"
"No, what is mirage ash? What does it do? If you want to use it, I will send someone to find it." Nalan Jinnian picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
