MTL - I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man-Chapter 42 Secret talk

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

After the New Year, ordinary people ’s weddings and banquets are not restricted, and the extravagant banquets that have been suppressed for more than half a year have begun again.

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

Beishuo has promised peace and envoys on their way to Beijing. Even the Nanchen Candid Party was unexpectedly obedient, let out the wind, and was about to send someone to the Hajj.

The newly consecrated concubine of 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 be Qin Cong's prince.

After visiting the palace, Qin Nuo couldn't help but develop this feeling. After Qin Cong's illness was recuperated for two months, not only did he not get better, but he became more and more serious?

With a pale yellow face, bloodshot eyes appeared. The young emperor sitting in the middle of the hall to receive congratulations from courtiers and the royal family revealed a decline.

Don't you get mad at yourself? Qin Nuo thought secretly that his trip to the palace was to congratulate the birth of the eldest son with the clan. Taking advantage of the gap before the feast, Qin Nuo went to the palace in advance to meet the emperor's brother.

Just for one thing, don't let Qin Jun and his pro.

Qin Nuo lowered his body and pleaded warmly. From the situation in the world to the courtesy and courtesy, the original draft only provided a beginning. The emperor had not yet had time to express himself, and suddenly he looked flushed and seemed to faint.

Startled Qin Nuo, he did not say anything fierce! Although he was ready to argue, wasn't it just the beginning?

The servants around the emperor immediately stepped forward, and dozens of people squeezed Qin Nuo into the corner.

The imperial doctor put a small bottle to the emperor's nose. After a while, his face gradually eased.

From beginning to end, Qin Nuo stood blankly looking at the corner until a wise **** eunuch came together and laughed: "Master Jun, you still go to the front hall first. Alas, since the royal family is dying, the emperor is deeply sad and often cannot. You, Prince Wang, just mentioned the 13 princesses just now, for fear that it will cause the emperor's sadness. "

Sad, is this a lie to the blind? The matter of Qin Hui and his relatives has not yet been determined. Where is the sadness of the emperor? And to be sad is also my own brother. Qin Nuo was full of doubts, and still listened, obediently followed the palace man to the front hall.

Among the patriarchs, Qin Nuo also had no interest in eating, drinking, and having fun.

After waiting for a while, the emperor's supreme banquet still looked embarrassed.

In all fairness, he hopes that the emperor's elder brother is healthy and it is best to live for decades. The big week has been weather-tested. In recent years, it has been difficult to settle down. If the throne changes frequently, it will only reduce the authority of the clan, The decline of the imperial clan, subject to the ministers, will be a sign of civil unrest!

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

The cold night was silent.

In the wide main hall, General Pei Yan was playing with joy in front of a pile of bottles and cans and iron rings and iron pipes. "Is the news accurate?" He asked casually.

"The news is absolutely reliable, and the Emperor passed out again when he called on Prince Chun today." Cao Qi, a counselor, reported the new news from the palace.

Pei Min turned the direction of a glazed tube, and the liquid in it dropped into the glazed cup below. The original milky white substance quickly turned green, and a fragrant fragrance came out.

If the noble ladies in Beijing are here, they will be astounded. Although the taste is not pure, it is the scent of the floral toilet popular in Beijing today.

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

"Recently, a certain kind of floral soap in the noble ladies circle in Beijing has been tried, and the production methods are wonderful."

Cao Qi felt a bit messy. Although his main character was temporarily retreating, it was too boring to play with these all day.

"Master, these women's paths are not desirable for gentlemen." He euphemistically advised the master not to play with things.

"Haha, a drop is worth dozens of gold, can it be considered a sidewalk?" Pei Zheng stood up, took the wet towel from the attendant next to him, and wiped his hands. "Don't underestimate these things. The more you study this thing, the more you feel the mystery inside. Maybe there is a reason to hide it."

Cao Qi was dismissive.

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

If Qin Nuo was watching beside him, he would only have one emotion. Sure enough, the capable person is omnipotent. By this time, Pei Yun is so intelligent and put into the next generation, even if he is not a military generation, he will become an outstanding scientist.

"He fainted when summoned King Chun, but the two had a dispute?" Pei Yi dropped the towel and turned into the back hall.

Cao Qi followed closely: "It is said that it was because of the 13 princesses and their relatives, but it is unknown whether there was any dispute." After being repeatedly cleaned up by Queen Mother Huo, most of the nails they buried in the palace were removed, and the news in the palace , Far worse than Huo Jialingtong.

Fortunately, there is news outside the palace as evidence.

"A few days ago, a spy reporter reported that Huo Dong came to secretly send someone to the Emperor's Tomb to meet the King of Yan. The two sides have been in close contact for some time now, although somehow, but now speculate that I am afraid ..."

"The Huo family had received the news earlier than us." Pei Yi smiled. "It seems that the information disclosed by the Tai Hospital is true. The emperor's body cannot be optimistic."

"Master, let's make plans early." Cao Qi has a heavy face, and now the emperor has an eldest son. If the Huo clan is to support the baby to ascend to the throne, it will be inevitable that in the future the power of the Korean government will fall into its hands.

"The son-in-law left by the Emperor, now there are only four people, King Shu, King Chun, and King Yan." Compared to the death of his father and son, the brother and the younger brother are also normal means of inheriting the throne.

"King Shu is not only old, but also because of the suspicion of surrendering against the king. Prior to Prince Jinfeng, he was sent home to be reprimanded by Queen Mother Huo. I heard that he was quite dissatisfied with the Huo family in private ..." Cao Qi whispered in reply With.

The swaying candlelight smeared the indoor silhouette on the windowsill, moving like a storm of impending storms in this huge empire.

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

Qin Nuo has been very comfortable these days. It seems that everything around him is on the right track, and even business is flourishing.

Several products in the store were all the rage, and quickly spread to the south.

All this is actually due to the withering of the imperial clan power, which brought about a major reshuffle in the business circle of Beijing. Many monopolized business channels have created large vacancies, ranging from daily necessities such as rice noodles and oils to official government projects such as pig iron salt tea.

With the help of distillation equipment and purification methods, Qin Nuo began to enter the wine industry. The old man who originally controlled this big pie behind the scenes was an old man, and now the forces have disappeared. Qin Nuo's shop quickly filled the vacancy.

Qin Nuo does not have such great ambitions and does not have such a domineering style. His own things always win with quality and are not afraid of any competition.

He soon added a fleet and more shops. Nowadays, every aspect of business is managed by someone, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

In his daily leisure, he did some interesting experiments, or went hunting in the mountain village outside the city, and occasionally prepared some ingenious gifts for his fiancee, and another month passed.

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

Starting is the most basic form of boxing, but every move is extremely serious. Fang Yuan looked at him, occasionally correcting his flaws.

Since Fang Yuan recovered from his injury and returned to Chun Wang's Mansion, Qin Nuo began to ask him for martial arts.

Fang Yuan has even seen his own training mentality, and concluded that this is a Buddhism tantric inner strength and mentality method, which is extremely clever, but has strict requirements on the practitioners ’mentality, easy initial entry, and rapid internal force improvement, but The more you practice, the higher your mentality is. You must be pure in mind and body, and have no side to heart.

After listening to Qin Nuo, he couldn't help but secretly fortunately, the original Qin Nuo was a stupid person, but accidentally met the requirements of this method, so he could practice smoothly all the way to the later stage.

That's right, Qin Nuo's internal strength is already extremely clever, and because it is the Buddhist mentality, the power is pure and peaceful, and it is not easy to be exposed. It is definitely a great magic weapon to keep your life at home.

"I don't know how long Lord Wang has practiced. The later this exercise becomes more dangerous and unpredictable, that is, the mentality of the child can't be avoided." Fang Yuan was also surprised that Qin Nuo could practice safely to such a state, but It is recommended that Qin Nuo not continue to cultivate.

Qin Nuo couldn't help thinking about it. The original Jiu Dian was strong and strong, but suddenly suffered a sudden illness a year ago and almost died. It may not be because of this failure. Another problem with this exercise is that you must never get close to women until you reach a certain level, otherwise you will be killed. Let Qin Nuo secretly get lucky again.

Now that he has a solid foundation in his internal skills, he does not need to go to battle to kill the enemy on weekdays, which is enough to use. What is lacking now is the contingent martial arts move.

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

Starting with the most basic standing steps, now I have learned the simplest 36-style long boxing.

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

With one punch, Qin Nuo felt feverish. Taking a rest, he took a long breath.

"Master Wang is very quick to get started and can learn the last six styles tomorrow." Fang Yuan handed him the towel. Qin Nuo didn't want to learn about martial arts by too many people. There was no servant except Fang Yuan in the performance hall.

The two were talking, and suddenly the attendant hurried to report.

"Lord Governor Lin Jialin, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, came to visit."

Qin Nuo was very surprised. He had no contact with the court officials and had nothing to do with the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Why did he come suddenly?

He sorted out and came to the front lobby.

However, it was discovered that the Lord Lin was not alone, and he hugged dozens of people sitting in the hall.

The man in the first place was handsome and handsome, and his vermilion official robe was even more beautiful with his jade face and red lips. Although Qin Nuo ignored the political affairs of the court, he had also heard the deed of this talented Lin.

Lin Jia was Jing Yao's 20-year-old explorer. He was eighteen years old when he was in high school. He was a gifted scholar of Jiangnan Shuxiangmen since he was a child. It is said that during the palace test, Jing Yaodi was astonished by his article. He originally wanted to be the champion, but after summoning, he found that he was handsome and beautiful, and he swiped it into a flower.

Although he changed from being the No. 1 scholar to exploring flowers, his future in the eyes of the emperor is far more glorious than that of the No. 1 champion, but he has been promoted to the Governor of the Ministry of Justice from Sipin only three years after his official career. You know, the top champions and second picks in the same department are still struggling with qualifications.

I just don't know why I came to my palace today.

Seeing Qin Nuo's appearance, everyone in Lin Jia was sighed with relief, and stood up to salute. You know, they are just ordinary officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, but Qin Nuo is the prince of superior products. He doesn't want to meet. They just find a reason to pretend. They have no imperial decree and can do nothing about it.

"See Lord Chun."

"You don't have to be polite. I don't know what Master Lin is going to do today. What's the matter?" Qin Nuo opened his door and saw the mountain.

"Excuse me, is there a merchant ship under his name who recently traveled south along the Sijiang River to transport some supplies?" Lin Jia was also very refreshing and went straight to the point.

Qin Nuo sat down in the main seat and nodded. One of the caravans under his name did ship south recently, and the ship was filled with high-quality wines and wines made by the new method, which are worth thousands of dollars.

"What's in it?"

"It's just plain wine," Qin Nuo said calmly.

Lin Jiachang took a breath: "Master Wang knows that just late last night, a merchant ship in Wang's name collided with another merchant ship on the river, and a fire broke out."

Qin Nuo immediately asked, "Are there any casualties?"

Lin Jia glanced up at him, and it seemed that he was surprised to receive this question first.

"Some boatmen were killed," he replied.

Qin Nuo sank in his heart, waiting for Lin Jia to continue to explain. It was just an accident in which two ordinary merchant ships collided, which could not alarm the Ministry of Justice.

"The fire was extinguished quickly, but at the bottom of Wangye's merchant ship, the people of Wucheng Warriors and Horses found a large number of bows, crossbow swords ..."
