Chapter 11 The Imperial Capital on the Eve of the Storm
Soon after the end of the Youth Conference, it was reported that his father, the emperor, had suffered from an incurable disease due to his addiction to alcohol, and ignored the affairs of the imperial capital for a long time, and did not receive any ministers or princes, which made the people of the entire capital panic, especially the princes, who were all in a hurry to win over the most powerful people in the imperial capital, hoping that they could join him and help him become the emperor of the imperial capital.

Nangong Yanran was extremely smart and had already planned it, but she wasn't sure if all this was true and why it happened so suddenly.
Her father, the Emperor, was finally going to accompany his mother.
She loved him so much, and she was so stupid. Nangong Yanran felt unworthy for his mother, so she wanted to take away all the rights and glory of this man.
As early as half a month ago, she received news that his father was seriously ill, and she was afraid that time was running out. All these years, she has been waiting for this day to come.
Ouyang Cong, the former general, is resolute and upright, and is not good at scheming. For many years, he was retaliated against for offending the son of Taifu in the performance of official duties, and was almost sentenced to death, but fortunately Nangong Yanran came forward to be reinstated. The son of Taifu has always coveted Nangong Yanran's beauty, and she is the princess of the imperial capital, and letting Ouyang Cong sell her personal favor is also an extremely good deal. After Ouyang Cong was released, he was very grateful to Nangong Yanran's posture, and wanted to kneel down to thank him and show his loyalty, but he was stopped.
Nangong Yanran only said: "You and I have never met, and we have no friendship, secretly we can be friends, and I also admire you." But I only make friends with powerful people, today you are like a new student, you have to fight, the former general, but a very important position, do you ever want to sit on it one day? Of course I will secretly support you. ”
"The last general, the last general will not disgrace his life"
"Okay, one day, I'll have something to ask for, don't shirk it"
"The last general will definitely do the work of dogs and horses. ”
In addition to the imperial generals who are in charge of the power of the soldiers and horses in the palace, she also bribed dozens of ministers of the imperial capital. Up to the Taishi, Taibao, and the Imperial Palace. Down to the handyman, the husband, all have her own ears and eyes. As for the means, they are not quite the same. If you say that you are thinking about it, it has to be that people have something to ask for. Nangong Yanran believes that the favors given when they are most needed are the most valuable, of course, she will not set up a special bureau to give favors, which is something she despises.
When everyone in the palace was terrified, they all knew that the day had finally come.
Their lives are all those of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the sea of swords and fires is not to be spared.
"General Ouyang, you are stationed in the palace, if there are four princes who ask to meet their father, of course they can, but they can't bring a single soldier, and they must unload all their weapons. ”
"Also, you said that you had an important matter to discuss at the behest of your father, and you sent them to the side hall to wait for the summons. ”
"The Last Will Do Duty"
"Master Taishi, you naturally understand what you should do, right?" Nangong Yanran said as she looked at an old man with a white beard.
Weichen understands, and please rest assured that the princess. ”
"Others, each doing their part, creating public opinion, and helping me ascend the throne"
"Obey Your Orders"
That night, there was no wind, no stars, the streets of the imperial capital were surprisingly quiet, it should have been the beautiful scenery of the attic lit by thousands of lights, and the prosperous scenery of the Qingjiang fishing fire painting boat, but today the wild cats passing by on the bluestone slab did not dare to make a sound, so they had to run to the corner where no one was.
At this time, there was a young man in Tsing Yi with a tassel walking on the street with a sword in his hand, and he found the abnormality of the imperial capital, and he probably guessed a few points. It's just that what he's worried about is what happened to Nangong Yanran, whether she will be hurt, and the struggle for power will always make people crazy.
So he traveled around, and when he heard the news, he rushed to the imperial capital, hoping to see her again and see her safe.
This young man is naturally Ling Youtian. Since that day's martial arts competition, he has been very fond of Nangong Yanran, so he found the interface and traveled around, in fact, he just wanted to come and see Nangong Yanran. But he didn't want to hear that there would be big events in the imperial capital in the near future, so he rushed to the imperial capital, only to find that the rumors were not needed. Sighing at life, Ling Youtian naturally wouldn't understand the temptation of power, just like others didn't understand that he tossed and turned because of Nangong Yan.
On the second day, it rained heavily in the imperial capital, and the city gate was guarded by heavy troops, and the investigation of merchants and suspicious people was extremely strict. At the gate of the palace, Ouyang Cong stood in the rainstorm and stood in the rain with the guards.
And today, the eldest prince Nangong Yi finally couldn't bear to take the other three princes and his own soldiers, ready to break into the palace, and when he saw Ouyang Cong leading heavy troops to guard the city gate, he knew that someone must have been one step ahead of him, but he couldn't think of who it would be for a while. All the princes are here, could it be that there is someone inside the palace who controls all this? He didn't think about it, the most important thing at the moment was to see his father. When he was about to enter the palace, he was stopped by Ouyang Cong.
"General Ouyang, what does this mean?" Nangong Yi said angrily.
"Of course Weichen didn't dare, but the emperor ordered that no one should be allowed to see him. Let Wechen guard here. Ouyang Cong said calmly.
"Do you want to rebel? I see that my father still wants you to agree?" Nangong Yi took the sword and prepared to use it.
"Wechen is ordered to act, and please calm the anger of the eldest prince, if the eldest prince is in a hurry, Wechen can take everyone to the side hall to wait, and wait for the emperor to report with him, and then meet again, otherwise it will disturb the holy car, you and I can't afford it, don't you say?"
Nangong Yi thought that he had no choice but to do this, if he broke in rashly, the situation would definitely be very bad, and he would end up in the name of forcing the palace.
"Let's go," Nangong Yi said unhappily.
"Princes, please unload your weapons. The emperor has an order, and no one is allowed to bring weapons into the palace during extraordinary times. As for these retinues, they are waiting at the gate of the palace. ”
"Ouyang Cong, don't get an inch" The second prince, Nangong Chu, was irritable and drew his sword and said.
"Second brother, don't be impatient, listen to General Ouyang, don't disturb the holy driver. Isn't it?" Nangong Yi said with a sneer looking at Ouyang Cong.
And the third prince Nangong Ci loves music and poetry.
The fourth prince, Nangong Zhuo, is addicted to wine.
These two people have always been unambitious, taking care of their own pleasures, and they have no interest in the emperor's position, and today they are only following the eldest prince. As for whether they look at their father or not, they are actually not interested, the royal family is like this, although they have enjoyed the glory and wealth of the world, they are also the poorest beings. The two men stood silent, and the sky fell as if it had nothing to do with them.
When they arrived at the palace, they were taken to the side hall, and they could only be bored and waited there, Nangong Yi took a seat, Nangong Ci, Nangong Zhuo lined up on both sides, and Nangong Chu was impatient and chattered in front of everyone.
Half an hour later, the side halls were opened.
"Princes, the emperor receives," a waitress said.
