The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

The nations are coming. The nations have traveled across most of the northern wing, and finally arrived at the capital of the northern wing with great ambition, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers.

Accompanied by the escorting officers of the northern wing and the chief and deputy envoys, as well as the escort of the guards, the various countries checked into Anyi Pavilion outside the capital.

This is the posthouse used by the Ministry of Rites to receive foreign envoys. Its halls and corridors are magnificent, and the gardens are beautiful. There are ponds inside where you can go boating and fishing.

There are weeping willows, lush trees, and pavilions of all sizes winding among them.

The entire post station is magnificent and solemn, reflecting the rise and fall of the dynasty to a certain extent, which is awe-inspiring.

The Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple jointly took charge of the reception. They put a lot of effort into the accommodation, meals and other aspects of the ceremony, and the arrangements were thoughtful and grand, showing the style of the North Wing.

After the exquisite banquet, the envoys from various countries returned to their rooms to rest. They would go into the city early tomorrow morning and be arranged by the Honglu Temple to meet the Emperor of Beiyi in the palace.

A total of nine countries came, most of which sent their own masters to compete in martial arts out of respect for Wan.

Some countries didn't even know that Wan was coming to challenge them. If they knew, they probably wouldn't dare to come despite the pressure.

Because everyone knew that Wan's declaration of war was a provocation, a test, and even a declaration of war.

Once they come, it will be difficult to remain neutral. After all, it is a small country and no one can afford to offend it.

There were three other countries that knew about Wan's declaration of war before they came, namely Chi, Liang and Wusong. The rest of the small countries only learned about the declaration of war after they arrived at Anyi Pavilion.

At this time you can only helplessly hold on to a lucky hope, and treat it as a trip to see the world. If you can find bargains, then pick them up. If you can't, then just treat it as a trip.

Along the way, these four countries were the leaders, and these four countries followed the lead of Wan.

Why did everyone have to look to Wan State for favor? The reason was that it was strong in combat.

The Wan people were barbaric and direct, and killing and looting were ingrained in their character.

Their usual style is to grab what they like and run away after grabbing it.

However, nowadays, the Wan Kingdom has not only learned some civilized ways of looting, which makes other countries even more frightened.

Over the years, Wan has been in constant friction with various countries, but no country has really dared to confront it head-on.

When there were minor quarrels below, the upper echelons would quickly send envoys to offer cloth, gold and silver to seek peace, thus maintaining superficial harmony.

The Wan State envoy Tan Lu and others were unhappy since they passed by Jinchi Town. They seemed to have heard everyone discussing that Fu Shou Paste was not a good thing.

Those who could become envoys were more or less proficient in foreign languages. Especially before coming to Beiyi, the envoys had studied hard and could understand simple Beiyi dialect.

It was complicated, but after the translator translated and explained it, we knew some of the details.

The heavy blow was when Jin Chi destroyed the opium, and the substance that was destroyed was the Fu Shou Cream.

The envoys from the State of Wan came with a mission this time, one of which was to persuade Emperor Mingde to rent part of Huizhou to them for growing wood-colored flowers.

If Emperor Mingde disagrees, they can help replace him with someone who agrees. This was an order from the Emperor of Wan State earlier. As long as they can reach an agreement, there is nothing wrong with it.

But Tanlu and others never expected that before they even entered Beijing, even the common people knew about the harm of the Fushou Paste.

How did they know this? If nothing else, even their own people may not know the harm of this thing.

Just hearing the name of Fu Shou Gao, shouldn’t it be a tonic? Among the gifts they prepared to give to Emperor Mingde was Fu Shou Gao.

How can I give this away?

Where did the longevity cream that Jin Chi destroyed come from?

Tanlu finally realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't show it too obviously because the officials in the north wing were watching them too closely, and they had no chance to come and go freely along the way.

Thinking about the big plan, Tanlu and others endured all the way. They only waited until they arrived in the capital to discuss it.

That night, Tanlu stayed in Anyi Pavilion and finally met someone.

That man was Wu Rong's subordinate, named Wu Jin, also known as Gu Hai Jin. Because he and Wu Rong looked very similar to Bei Yi people, it was not easy to be found out, and he had lived in Bei Yi for five or six years.

Wu Jin is quite capable, as he was able to sneak into the post station under the strict control of the Ministry of Rites.

As soon as he saw Tanlu, he fell to his knees and cried bitterly, "Sir, I have failed to live up to your trust and deserve death."

Tan Lu's face was gloomy. "Tell me in detail, what happened? Where did the longevity cream that Jin Chi destroyed come from?"

Speaking of this, it's like digging out Wu Jin's heart.

He answered the question irrelevantly and had to talk about the hardships of doing things in the North Wing over the years. "Over the years, I and others have been scattered in various places. As you know, sir, the longevity paste is not so easy to make. It requires the wood-colored flower to make it. Later, we finally found a few places suitable for growing wood-colored flowers, and made a lot of longevity paste. We gradually provided it to some small officials and merchants for free, but it didn't take off."

Tanlu didn't know much about the longevity cream, but he didn't mind listening to Wu Jin's explanation.

Wu Jin continued, "The Li family has a lot of income from their own business, and they are worried about being controlled by us, so they have been unable to reach an agreement. There is only one person named Li Changfeng..."

Li Changfeng saw that the Fu Shou Cream could be used to control people, so he brought in Liu Zhaoye, a veteran official in the court.

This person is also a relative of the Li family. His granddaughter Liu is the wife of Li Changfeng's eldest son Li Tianlin.

After Liu Zhaoye became addicted, he became a senior veteran; Li Changfeng then lured other veteran officials in one by one.

In the past, some old officials were stubborn and often had different opinions from Li Changfeng. After using Fushou Paste, they became very obedient and would fight wherever he was told.

Although this has formed a circle, it is far from enough.

Seeing the Li family in trouble one after another and the Empress Dowager being confined to the Western Hills, Wu Rong knew that the opportunity for in-depth cooperation had come. So in the past few months, he transported all the Fu Shou creams scattered throughout the North Wing to the capital.

At that time, Fu Shou Gao was just an ordinary commodity and was not subject to any restrictions or supervision, so it was very convenient to bring it into Beijing.

Wu Rong also rented several warehouses to store the longevity paste, preparing for a big move.

In fact, good news did come a few days ago, and someone finally came to me.

Li Tianlin came to pick up the goods with the token of Empress Dowager Jiqing. The token was the wooden hairpin that Wu Rong gave to Empress Dowager Jiqing in the early years. Once the token was out, it was no longer an ordinary transaction, which showed that the Empress Dowager had made up her mind and thought it through.

Therefore, Wu Rong was very generous and allowed Li Tianlin to bring a large amount of goods into the Li Mansion without paying any money.

They were just waiting for this batch of goods to fall into the mouths of officials in the Northern Wing court. After just a few times, these officials would be unable to live without the longevity cream and would naturally spend silver to buy the goods.

It won't be long before the silver of Beiyi will flow into Wan. And Beiyi's government and people are all sick men, and the country will no longer be a country.

By then, there would be no effort at all and the North Wing would be their meal.

It’s just a beautiful dream.

"What happened next?" Tanlu's eyelids twitched as he heard this, thinking of the things that Jin Chi had destroyed. It was said that they had not been completely destroyed yet and the process was still going on day and night.
