I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man: 42. Secret Talk

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters I am not such a man!

Although the invisible shadow has quietly enveloped the huge empire, at this moment, almost everyone is at a loss.

After the New Year's Day, ordinary people's weddings and banquets are not restricted, and the extravagant banquets that the nobles have suppressed for more than half a year have restarted.

After the New Year's Eve, good news came one after another.

Bei Shuo has agreed to make peace, and the delegation is on the way to the capital. Even the Nanchen remnant party was unexpectedly obedient, letting out the news, and was about to send people to the Hajj.

The newly promoted concubine in the harem gave birth to a son for Qin Cong.

As the first son of the new emperor, this child is of great significance. Maybe it will really be the prince of Qin Cong.

After walking into the palace, Qin Nuo couldn't help but feel this way. After two months of recuperation, Qin Cong's condition not only didn't improve, but it got worse?

Sallow, dry face, bloodshot eyes faintly. The young emperor sitting in the center of the main hall to receive congratulations from courtiers and clan families showed signs of decline.

You won’t be mad at yourself, right? Qin Nuo secretly thought that his visit to the palace this time was to congratulate the birth of the emperor's eldest son with all the clan families. Taking advantage of the gap before the banquet, Qin Nuo went into the palace in advance to meet the emperor's brother.

Just for one thing, don't let Qin Zhi be married.

Qin Nuo lowered his body and pleaded warmly. From the situation of the world to the rules of human relations, etiquette, the original draft only said the beginning. Before the emperor had time to express his stance, his face suddenly flushed, as if he was about to faint.

Qin Nuo was taken aback, and he didn't say any fierce words! Although he is ready for the dispute, isn't this just the beginning?

The attendants around the emperor immediately surrounded him, and dozens of people squeezed Qin Nuo into the corner.

The doctor brought a small bottle to the end of the emperor's nose, and after a while, his expression gradually eased.

From beginning to end, Qin Nuo stood in the corner and stared blankly until a clever imperial **** came up and smiled: "Lord Chun, you still go to the front hall first. Alas, since the clan has withered, the emperor is deeply saddened. , Often can’t be by yourself. Just now, the lord, you just mentioned the thirteen princesses again. I’m afraid that the emperor’s sadness will be aroused."

Sad thing, is this a lie to the blind? Qin Zhi's relationship with his relatives has not been finalized yet, where is the emperor's sadness? And to be sad is my own brother, okay. Qin Nuo was full of doubts, and listened um, ah, and obediently followed the palace man to the front hall.

Among the clan dignitaries, Qin Nuo has no interest in eating, drinking, and having fun.

After waiting for a while, the emperor went to the hall for a banquet, his face still haggard.

In all fairness, he hopes that the emperor’s brother will be in good health, and it is best to live for several decades. The Great Zhou has experienced weather and frost, and has finally settled down in recent years. If the throne changes frequently, it will only increase the authority of the clan. Decrease, and the decline of the clan, subject to power officials, will be a sign of civil unrest!

*******************

The cold night is silent.

In the wide main hall, General Pei Ling was happily fiddling with a pile of bottles, cans and iron pipes. He asked casually: "Is the news accurate?"

"The news is absolutely reliable, and the emperor fainted once again when he summoned Prince Chun today." The counselor Cao Qi bowed and reported the new news from the palace.

Pei Ling turned the direction of a glass tube, and the liquid inside dripped into the glass cup below. The milky white substance inside quickly turned green, and at the same time a strange fragrance came out,

If the ladies of the capital are here, they will be surprised. Although the taste is not pure, it is the fragrance of the flower dew that is popular in Beijing today.

Cao Qi resisted the urge to sneeze and rubbed his nose: "What is this?"

"Recently, a certain kind of flower lotion that is popular in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing, just try it, the production method is very mysterious."

Cao Qi feels a little messy. Although his father-in-law is temporarily retiring, it would be too boring to play with these all day long.

"Lord, these women's trails are not advisable for gentlemen." He euphemistically exhorted the lord not to lose his mind.

"Haha, a drop is worth tens of gold, is it a trail?" Pei Ling straightened up, took the wet towel from the servant next to him, and wiped his hands clean. "Don't underestimate these things. The more you study this thing, the more you feel the mystery inside. Maybe there is a big reason to hide it."

Cao Qi's face is full of disapproval.

Pei Ling didn't say much. He only got interested occasionally. He heard about all kinds of novelties newly made by the little prince, and thought of the strange tools on the table, so he tried it out by himself.

If Qin Nuo is watching by the side, he will only sigh with emotion. It is true that the capable is omnipotent. Pei Ling is so smart by nature that in future generations, even if he is not a generation of military masters, he will become an outstanding scientist.

"When King Chun was summoned, he fainted, but the two had a dispute?" Pei Ling dropped the towel and turned and walked into the back hall.

Cao Qi followed closely: "It is alleged that it was because of the 13th princess and the marriage, but it is unknown whether there was a dispute." After being repeatedly cleaned up by Queen Mother Huo, most of the nails they ambush in the palace were removed. The news in China is far inferior to Huo Jialingtong.

But fortunately, there are news from outside the palace as evidence.

"The secret agent recently reported that Huo Donglai secretly sent someone to the imperial tomb to meet with King Yan. The two sides have been in close contact with each other recently. Although for some reason, it is now speculated that I am afraid..."

"The Huo family received the news earlier than us." Pei Ling smiled, "It seems that the news revealed by the hospital is true. The emperor's body is not optimistic."

"Lord, we should have made plans early." Cao Qi's face is heavy. Now the emperor has the eldest son. If the Huo family is allowed to support this baby ascended to the throne, all the power of government in the future will be in his hands.

"The heirs left by the first emperor are now alive, and there are only four kings Shu, King Chun, and King Yan." Compared with fathers and sons, brothers and brothers are also normal means of inheriting the throne.

"Wang Shu is not only older, but also because of the suspicion of clinging to the rebellious king, before he was crowned the prince, he was reprimanded by the Queen Mother Huo. He heard that he was quite dissatisfied with the Huo family in private..." Cao Qi Whispered back.

The flickering candlelight smeared the indoor figure on the window sill, moving gracefully, like the coming storm of this huge empire.

**********************

Qin Nuo is living comfortably these days, it seems that everything around him is on the right track, and even his business is doing well.

Several products in the shop are popular all over the world, and quickly spread to the south.

All this is actually due to the withering of clan powers, which brought about a major reshuffle of the business circles in the capital. Many monopolized commercial roads, from daily necessities such as rice, noodles, grains and oils to official special projects such as pig iron, salt and tea, have created large vacancies.

With the help of distillation equipment and purification methods, Qin Nuo began to get involved in the wine industry. It was an old prince who originally controlled this piece of pie behind the scenes, but now the power has vanished. The shop under Qin Nuo's name quickly filled the vacancy.

Qin Nuo doesn't have such big ambitions, and he doesn't have such a domineering style. His own products always win by quality and are not afraid of any competition.

He soon added a fleet and more shops under his name. Nowadays, all aspects of business are handled by special personnel, and he hardly needs to worry about it.

In his daily leisure time, he does some interesting experiments, or goes hunting in the mountain village outside the city, and occasionally prepares some ingenious little gifts for his fiancée. Another dazzling effort has passed by another month.

On this day, he practiced martial arts in a separate courtyard in the backyard of the palace.

Starting hand is the most basic boxing technique, but every move is extremely serious. Fang Yuan watched from the side, occasionally correcting the defects in his posture.

Since Fang Yuan recovered from his injuries and returned to King Chun Palace, Qin Nuo began to ask him about martial arts.

I even showed Fang Yuan the mental method he exercised, and I came to the conclusion that this is a Buddhist tantric inner power mental method, which is extremely clever, but it has harsh requirements for the cultivator’s character, easy to get started at the beginning, and internal strength is improved. Quickly, but the more you practice, the higher your xinxing requirements. You must be pure in your mind and body, and have no distractions. If you are not careful, you will get confused.

Qin Nuo couldn't help but secretly rejoice after hearing that, the original Qin Nuo was a stupid person, but unexpectedly met the requirements of this exercise, so he could practice smoothly all the way to the later stage.

Yes, Qin Nuo's inner strength is already extremely clever, and because it is a Buddhism mental method, the skill is pure and quiet, and it is not easy to be exposed. It is definitely a magic weapon for life at home.

"I don't know how long the prince has been practicing. The more dangerous and unpredictable the technique becomes in the later stages. It is because of the innocence and nature that it is impossible to guarantee that it will not become devilish." Fang Yuan is also very surprised that Qin Nuo can practice safely to such a realm. Surprised, but I still suggested that Qin Nuo stop practicing.

Qin Nuo couldn't help thinking. The original Nine Royal Highness was strong and strong, but suddenly suffered a sudden illness a year ago and nearly died. It may not be because this exercise method failed. There is another problem with this technique, that is, you must never get close to female **** until you reach a certain level, otherwise you are in danger of losing your life. Once again, Qin Nuo secretly called out a fluke.

Now that I have a solid foundation in internal strength, I don't need to go to battle to kill the enemy on weekdays, it's enough to use it. What is lacking now is the martial arts skills of adaptability.

So from a month ago, he officially started martial arts.

Starting from the most basic stance, now I have learned the simplest 36-style Changquan.

Fang Yuan supported his arm and carefully corrected the lack of movement.

With a punch, Qin Nuo felt hot all over. After closing his posture, he took a long breath.

"The prince is very quick to get started. I can learn the last six formulas tomorrow." Fang Yuan handed him the towel. Qin Nuo didn't want to let too many people know about his martial arts studies. There was no servant in the martial arts hall except Fang Yuan.

The two were talking, and suddenly the attendants in front rushed to report.

"Left Governor Lin Jialin of the Criminal Ministry came to visit."

Qin Nuo was very surprised. He had never had any contact with court officials, and had nothing to do with the Criminal Ministry. Why did he come here suddenly?

He cleaned up a bit and went to the front hall for the guests.

It was discovered that Master Lin did not come alone, and dozens of people were sitting in the hall after calling forward.

The first person is Fengshen and handsome, and his scarlet official robe is more beautiful and gentle with a jade face and vermilion lips. Although Qin Nuo ignored state affairs, he had also heard of the deeds of this talented Lin.

Lin Jia is a Twenty-year-old Tanhua Lang of Jingyao. He was only 18 years old when he was in high school. He was a talented scholar in Jiangnan scholarly family since he was a child. When he was seven years old, a poem of chanting willows was passed down to Jiangnan. It is said that during the palace examination, Emperor Jing Yao was surprised by his article. He wanted to be the champion, but after the summoning, he found that he was handsome and charming, so he swiped his pen and changed it to Exploring Flowers.

Although he has changed from No. 1 to Tanghua, his future in the eyes of the emperor is much brighter than that of the No. 1 Lang of that year. After only three years in the official position, he has been promoted to the fourth-ranked governor of the Xingbu Zuo. The spring breeze is proud. You know, the champions and second place winners in the same discipline are still struggling with local qualifications.

I just don’t know why I will come to my palace today.

Seeing Qin Nuo appearing, Lin Jia everyone sighed in relief, and all got up and saluted. You know, they are just ordinary officials of the Criminal Ministry, but Qin Nuo is the prince of super grades. He doesn't want to see each other and finds any reason to prevaricate. They have no imperial decree in their hands, and there is nothing they can do.

"See Lord Chun."

"You don't have to be polite, I don't know if Master Lin is here today, what's the point?" Qin Nuo was straight to the point.

"My lord, is there a merchant ship under his name that recently went south along the Sijiang River to transport some supplies." Lin Jia was also very refreshed and went straight to the point.

Qin Nuo sat down in the main seat and nodded. Indeed, one of the caravans under his name had recently moved south to deliver goods. The ship was filled with high-quality wine and wine made by the new method, worth ten thousand gold.

"What's inside?"

"Ordinary drinks." Qin Nuo said calmly.

Lin Jiachang took a breath: "The prince knows that late last night, a merchant ship under the name of the prince collided with another merchant ship on the river, which caused a fire."

Qin Nuo was taken aback, and immediately asked: "Are there casualties?"

Lin Jia looked up at him, and seemed to be the first to receive this question by accident.

"Some boatmen lost their lives." He replied.

Qin Nuo's heart sank, waiting for Lin Jia to continue explaining. It's just an accident in which two ordinary merchant ships collided, and it was impossible to alarm the Ministry of Justice.

"The fire was quickly put out, but at the bottom of the Royal Merchant Ship, people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses found a large number of bows, crossbows, swords..."
