Chapter 48: The Surrounding Situation

"Erchen understands, thank you father Emperor Longen." Nangong Hao's tone was cold, and he couldn't see any emotion.

"The wedding date is approaching, and the Haowang Mansion is busy, so you can kneel down." Emperor Jing'an didn't raise his head, and said in a deep voice.

"The retainers retired." Nangong Hao and Nangong Shuo bowed their heads and said.

The two of them exited the dragon dormitory, their faces were not very good-looking, and they walked briskly on the palace road.

Stepping into the capital, they heard about the holy grace of the Seventh Highness, and the two were originally suspicious, but when they saw it today, it really deserved its reputation.

The two of them are in different moods, not to mention envy or jealousy, but they just feel that they are both the sons of Emperor Jing'an, but the palms and backs of their hands are really different.

"This old thing, calling us back to the capital for no reason, there must be a problem." Nangong Shuo clasped his hands in front of his chest and gritted his teeth.

"That's fine, I originally wanted to come back for revenge, so we can use our own brains, wouldn't it be according to our wishes." Nangong Hao said coldly.

"Back then, we were too young and slaughtered by others, and the efforts we have made over the years have not been in vain." Nangong Shuo's eyes flashed with ruthlessness.

"With our current ability, if we want to take that dragon chair, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky. Right now, we can only sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit, and let them fight to the death first, we just watch. Nangong Hao reminded.

"The fifth brother has too many concerns, according to the younger brother, we have cultivated a lot of secret guards over the years, if you don't like anyone, you can assassinate ...... directly."

Before he finished speaking, Nangong Hao turned his head and glared at him, slapped him on the head, and scolded, "Reckless!" ”

"Fifth brother, don't hit people on the head!" Nangong Shuo complained.

"Since ancient times, they have been fighting openly and secretly, and cold arrows are hidden, and I have never heard of anyone who won the world by assassinating others. If your method was feasible, the prince and Nangong Yu would have killed each other a long time ago, and it would be our turn! Nangong Hao reprimanded.

"The younger brother just said it casually, why should the fifth brother be angry." Nangong Shuo pouted.

Nangong Hao turned his head and glared at him, "Tell me casually?" What kind of temper did you kid have in the Dragon Bedroom just now! ”

"No, Fifth Brother, I ......"

"I'll clean you up when I go back." Nangong Qi glared at him.

Although Nangong Shuo knew that there was a mistake, he was not convinced, "The dead old man threw us to a place where birds don't for eighteen years, and he didn't ask, and the little brother got angry when he saw the dead old man, so he ......"

"This is not Guliang City, no one cares about you? Put away your grumpy temper, if there is a next time, I'm afraid I won't be as lucky as this time. Nangong Hao reminded.

"What the fifth brother taught me is that the younger brother wrote it down." Nangong Shuo had no choice but to admit his mistake obediently.

Nangong Hao didn't bother to train him again, and told him as he walked: "We have just returned to Beijing, and our position in Beijing has not yet been established, so it is not easy to make enemies, so we will tolerate everything." ”

"Understood." Nangong Shuo nodded.

"As far as this king knows, now the court is divided into three parties and three factions, the crown prince and Nangong Yu each form a party, and Zhao Zibi, the prince of Xiangguo, has his own party. However, there were also a few courtiers and mud. Nangong Hao said.

"Xiangguo Gong?" Nangong Shuo was stunned.

"The maiden brother of the first queen, when he is the uncle of the court, this person does not rely on either side, it is really unbelievable." Nangong Yu pondered.

"I heard that Nangong Yu's power can compete with the crown prince." Nangong Shuo held his chin and said.

"There is a world of difference between seeing the world and bowing down to the courtiers, since ancient times, what prince does not want to be honored in the ceremony?" Nangong Hao's brows furrowed, and he pondered and analyzed: "Father and Emperor suddenly summoned us back now, naturally it is not so simple. I'm afraid they want to use us to contain the prince and Nangong Yu. ”

"Fifth brother, what do you mean by this?" Nangong Shuo was a little puzzled at the moment.

"The father is suspicious and cautious, naturally he doesn't want to see the power one-sided, he used Nangong Yu to contain the prince, probably because he found that Nangong Yu was getting more and more powerful, so he recalled us back to the capital to distract Nangong Yu's energy against the prince. In addition, we have made countless military exploits at the border pass, and now the Guliang border is stable, and there is no war, I am afraid that my father will not be at ease with us. Nangong Hao said.

"The old thing is very suspicious and ruthless, who else can he trust? However, he is very fond of the seventh brother. Nangong Shuo was puzzled.

Nangong Hao paused and took a deep breath.

"Fifth brother?" Nangong Shuo turned his head to look at Nangong Hao.

"The seventh brother is very close to Nangong Yu." Nangong Hao Jianfeng's brows furrowed and he pondered.

The corners of Nangong Shuo's mouth twitched, and he snorted lightly, "Thinking that the seventh brother is Nangong Yu's person, I am afraid that in the battle for the heir, he will also stand on Nangong Yu's side." ”

Nangong Hao's heart couldn't help but tug, sighed lightly, and said, "It's good if he's happy." ”

"I originally thought that the seventh brother was not doing well, and we didn't dare to inquire about the news of the seventh brother over the years, but now it seems that we are really worried." Nangong Shuo pouted.

"This king didn't expect it either...... Nangong Hao stopped talking, turned his head to look at Nangong Shuo, "The news that Chen Yan heard that the seventh brother was raised by Concubine Xiao Chen, it seems that he didn't know how ...... back then"

Nangong Hao didn't say any more, his brows furrowed a little.

Nangong Shuo turned his head to look at Nangong Hao, "By the way, the fifth brother, the Yan Qingyu that the seventh brother was talking about, I heard Chen Yan say that he is the overseer of the Imperial Jin Army, responsible for the safety of the entire imperial city, it can be described as a monstrous power, and he is deeply favored by his father." ”

"The Imperial Jin Army is a special power army of the father, and it only obeys the orders of the father, to put it bluntly, the Imperial Jin Army is raised by the father, and naturally serves the father." Nangong Hao Road.

Nangong Shuo thought thoughtfully, "Fifth brother, this Imperial Jin Army is in charge of the entire imperial city, if you can become our person, it will definitely be ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Nangong Hao turned his head and glared at him, "I heard that this person only serves his father, and over the years, the prince and Nangong Yu have not been able to win over the people, why do you think he has taken refuge in us?" ”

"Cut, this king still doesn't look down on him, it's not enough to worry about it, to put it bluntly, he's just a dog raised by Emperor Jing'an." Nangong Shuo snorted coldly.

"Don't underestimate him, this person is younger than us, but he can make the entire Imperial Jin Army obey him, I'm afraid he has some ability." Nangong Hao Road.

Nangong Shuo frowned, "Fifth brother, don't be arrogant to others, it's okay to destroy your own prestige?" ”

"You know, we must rein in our edge now, and we must not let anyone seize the handle, let alone let anyone notice that we also have the idea of seizing the heir. You know, we are walking on thin ice in the capital, and if we are not careful, we are afraid that we will never recover. Nangong Hao advised.

The two left the palace, got into a carriage, and drove towards the Haowang Mansion.

"Fifth brother, you will get married in a few days, and in the future, the younger brother will have a fifth sister-in-law in the house." Nangong Shuo held his chin and said bably.

Nangong Hao was stunned for a moment, frowned and said in a deep voice: "This king is even a little suspicious, why did my father suddenly give this king a marriage, did he send someone to spy on this king?" ”

"Probably not, just a weak woman." Nangong Shuo said.

"She is from Prime Minister Ye Cheng's mansion, and Prime Minister Ye is Nangong Yu's father-in-law, and the entire Prime Minister Ye Cheng's mansion supports Nangong Yu, do you think that if Prime Minister Ye's daughter marries into the palace, can this king believe her?" Nangong Hao turned his head to look at Nangong Shuo and asked rhetorically.
