readx;?“ You mean...... Too deliberate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Blue Crystal said.

Wu Feng nodded: "Fighting with Scurry, you have to think more-"

"If Patriarch Cade is a snakehead, it is indeed too obvious. Lan Jing muttered: "Your Majesty and I have actually always been wary of the power of the Orthodox Church, and in this case, it is difficult for him to make too many small moves without revealing them. ”

"But it can't be ruled out. Wu Feng said: "You must not use your previous performance to evaluate a person's ability. If the god of war wants to make a mediocre person become resourceful in a short period of time, all he needs is a bag with a sufficiently detailed plan. ”

Lan Jing smiled: "The more complicated the situation, the more calm you must be." Now that we have obtained these information, Special Envoy Tian Chang, let's go to Prince Shenlan's mansion for a few cups of coffee. ”

Prince Shenlan, whose full name was Jin Yang Zhanger Constantine, was the second brother of King Constantine XV, and was born to the same mother as Prince Eugen.

In fact, although he was the same patricide as Wu Feng's eldest brother Schröding, the relationship between Constantine XV and his younger brothers was not bad, except for the third brother who was killed by his own hands.

After all, he was about to be deposed, so he did it for self-preservation.

And Xue Dingye was in a hurry to seize power, so after killing his father, he immediately killed several younger brothers, and only the youngest two were saved.

However, under the pressure of a powerful monarch like Constantine XV, many princes basically have no real power, and they all live in elegance under the appearance of brothers, friends and brothers.

This Prince Shenlan is known for his love of planting coffee beans and brewing coffee, and over the years, his craft has become perfect, and he is very famous in the imperial capital.

Lan Jing led Wu Feng into the mansion of Jinyang Zhanger Constantine, Prince of Shenlan.

The mansion is not very large, but it is very elaborate and elegantly furnished, and the aromas of colchicum and crab claw orchid are refreshing.

A dignified handmaiden had already led them into the depths of the mansion.

Wu Feng noticed that this mansion was a typical quaint style, and none of the maids were enchanting and charming, they all belonged to that kind of dignified and beautiful beauty.

And this prince attaches more importance to dignity than beauty.

This is an elegant person, but not a womanizer, Wu Feng immediately gave an evaluation.

When Wu Feng and Lan Jing came to visit, Prince Shenlan was working hard in the coffee bushes that he regarded as his life, but his straight dress was clean and clean, not stained with the slightest dust.

Hearing that the prime minister and the envoy came to visit, Prince Shenlan did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went out of the small garden in the backyard to greet him in the living room.

The prince was tall and tall, with a face as delicate as a marble sculpture, and a beautifully groomed brown shawl, long curly hair, and two mustaches that gave him the charm of a mature and beautiful man.

Because he had just come out of the coffee garden, he was covered with the faint aroma of coffee cherries.

But Wu Feng also keenly smelled that there was another unique aroma on Prince Shenlan's body, which seemed to come from a special spice.

"Jin Yang-" Lan Jing affectionately called him by his name, "Forgive me, this gluttonous old fellow, I came to you again to beg for a drink." ”

"Old fellow-" Prince Shenlan Jin Yang Zhanger Constantine smiled indifferently: "If the Prime Minister, who has just turned fifty, can be regarded as old, then how can those old things in the House be embarrassed?"

The nine elders of the Senate are just the leaders of the Senate, and they are the middle-level nobles who lead the Senate, and those are the real old things.

Because the coup d'état of Constantine XV had little impact on the middle and lower class aristocracy, the House is still full of old guys who are 70 years old or even nearly 100 years old.

But it must not be said that these people are useless.

Once, on a whim, Constantine XV, planned to gather a heavy army and wash away the blood of the rebellious Hungarians, and the two gods of wind and thunder were eager to establish their military exploits at that time and fully supported them.

The Marquis of Kirin and other elders led this group of old people to a resolution meeting, and almost unanimously decided that the time had not come, and then rejected Constantine XV's overly hasty decision with ninety-seven percent of the votes against.

Constantine XV, who had just succeeded to the throne at the time, was furious. But it turned out that soon after that, there was a large-scale rebellion in the Lithuanian region, and Constantine XV had to personally go with a large army to put out the fire.

If we had provoked Hungary, which had become a vassal state, and fought with the powerful Magyar cavalry, we might not have been able to eat Hungary, but would have lost the Lithuanian region.

Lan Jing also laughed heartily and sat down with Wu Feng.

Prince Shenlan used an extremely elegant technique to grind the coffee beans into powder and brew coffee for them, and every movement was full of classical rhythm, which can be called art.

There are musicians singing softly outside the court, accompaniment to Prince Shenlan's crafts.

From planting, fertilizing, picking, exposure, roasting, grinding and brewing, every process is done by the noble prince himself, and the variety of this coffee is also a famous among the famous products.

This kind of drink with a strong bitter taste, in fact, Wu Feng couldn't adapt to it when he first arrived in the West, but from Persia to Byzantium, he was forced to pour it many times, and gradually realized the wonders of it.

"Jin Yang, I've been a little short of money lately, I really want to take some of your coffee beans to the black market to exchange for some gold. Azurite quipped.

Prince Shenlan Jin Yang Zhanger Constantine shrugged: "Prime Minister, you are joking again. ”

As a prime minister above 10,000 people under one person, Azurite certainly won't be tight on hand.

But the coffee beans grown by the Imperial Prince himself will only be used to entertain the most distinguished guests. If it can be transferred to the black market, it can indeed be sold at a sky-high price.

After enjoying Prince Shenlan's coffee, Lan Jing chatted with Jin Yang, Zhanggel, and Constantine about some trivial matters of the aristocratic class, and Wu Feng interjected from time to time.

Even in times of turmoil, the prince kept his mouth shut about political affairs, and he knew that this was his brother's taboo.

The more dangerous the empire is, the easier it is to get yourself in trouble by expressing your opinion, after all, the status of the prince is really sensitive.

......

After enjoying the delicious coffee hospitality of Prince Shenlan, Lan Jing and Wu Feng reported the situation and analysis results to Constantine XV.

Constantine XV frowned.

Indeed, as Wu Feng said, the secret letters found in the secret archives of the Orthodox Church can reduce Cade's suspicions.

The head of the snake had clearly noticed a little bit of rumor, and perhaps was consciously misleading them.

"Your Majesty, my initial analysis may have been a bit problematic. Wu Feng also groaned: "The scope of suspects may be expanded a little." ”

Constantine XV asked: "Envoy ...... You mean the emperor's concubines?"

In addition to the crown prince, several other princes and their mothers also had their own networks of influence, which was the balance of Constantine XV.

But this is only the case, Constantine XV had no intention of abolishing the elder - it was because of this intention that his father was killed by his coup d'état.

And Constantine XV was also particularly sensitive to this, when Wu Feng analyzed the existence of the snakehead, he emphasized at the beginning that "even if the identity of the snakehead is the emperor's favorite concubine or even the queen, I will never show the slightest mercy."

"Let me think about it again. Wu Feng did not answer immediately.

For Wu Feng's caution, Constantine XV seemed very satisfied.

This is worthy of his old friend Bogard specially sent a candidate.

However, what made Wu Feng feel troubled was that the person in charge of the investigation had one more person at this time.

Deputy Prime Minister Pu Chaojun.

It's just a matter of trusting Lanjing, how can the suspicion of this guy be basically ruled out?

Pu Chaojun's son Xigu has troubled Wu Feng more than once, and Pu Chaojun himself is obviously a little jealous of Wu Feng.

So if Wu Feng doesn't hate this father and son, it's impossible. (To be continued.) )
