Quick Travel: Saving the Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Role

If you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy.

This is the only best way to deal with the Sun family. It just so happens that both Xiao Yue and the Sun family are quite crazy right now.

The matter of imperial examination fraud cannot be used, otherwise even if the Sun family falls, Xiao Yue will not let them go if he finds out the cause and effect in the future.

But other aspects can be slightly utilized.

Shen Huan gave Xiao Yansui some advice, and Xiao Yansui immediately decided to listen to her and set a trap for the Sun family, which happened to help his prince and brother understand his own heart.

In previous years, there would be a palace banquet in the palace during the Chinese New Year, where all civil and military officials and their families would gather together. However, this year the emperor was seriously ill and the palace banquet was cancelled.

This matter made the eldest prince, who had gone to the fiefdom a long time ago, and the third prince, who had been in confinement, the most dissatisfied. The eldest prince's mother's family was not visible, and he was just the son of a concubine. The concubine had been dead for more than ten years, and his fiefdom was not there either. After all, we can't support him in his fight for the throne.

This rare opportunity to return to the imperial city was gone.

The third prince was even more unwilling to give in. He had long thought of making a splash at the palace banquet to prove his loyalty and filial piety to his father, so that the emperor could use him again.

But he didn't want to think about it. Now that the prince was in power, how could Xiao Yue give him this opportunity?

In addition to the fact that there was no palace banquet this year, there was also a major event in the capital at the end of the year. Sun Yanyi, the daughter of the Sun family, drew a phoenix fortune-telling lot while praying at the Huguo Temple.

This matter seemed to have grown wings and spread quickly throughout the capital. According to past habits, the emperor would definitely make this girl his queen if he had no palace. But now that the emperor is seriously ill and the prince is in power, who should marry Feng Nu? , and became the prince.

The supervisor of the Qintian Prison went to the East Palace overnight and told the prince about the incident, hoping that he would marry the Sun family's daughter as the crown prince.

Xiao Yue puts more emphasis on his uncles and cousins, but that doesn't mean he is willing to marry his cousin as the princess. The one he loves most but cannot get is Ning Fangfei.

So when he heard this rumor, he subconsciously felt that the Sun family was directing and acting on their own. He had given them enough rights, but they were pushing the envelope even further despite such promotion.

Xiao Yue did not answer Jian Zheng directly, but politely sent him away. The next day, he sent someone to invite his two uncles into the palace.

The two uncles of the Sun family were still happy that their daughter would become the crown prince and the future queen of the middle palace. When they heard that the prince summoned them to the palace, the brothers went to see Xiao Yue with a happy face.

Xiao Yue asked about it, and the two of them praised their daughter and never mentioned the Phoenix Life Sign.

Xiao Yue thought they were pretending to be deaf and mute, so he threw the tea cup out of his hand.

"Are the two uncles pretending to be deaf and dumb to me? What I want to ask is about the Phoenix Life Sign. Who did it?"

The two of them finally realized that he was not happy, but angry, and fell to their knees.

"Your Highness, calm down."

"Your Highness, this matter was definitely not done by me. Your Highness knows it for sure!"

Another Master Sun also said: "Your Highness, when I returned from the government office that day, I was equally surprised and suspicious when I heard about this matter. However, this matter was definitely not directed or acted by anyone in my family. When my daughter drew lots, the people from the Huguo Temple Several masters have seen it, and there is absolutely no possibility of fraud."

The two masters burst into tears and refused to admit that they had any hand in this matter.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already showing great kindness to the Sun family in such a way. How can a humble minister dare to do such a treasonous and unethical thing? If this matter makes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unhappy, I will send Yi'er back to Xunyang and let her live there when I return. There the ancient Buddha with clear lanterns spent his life!"

These words were equivalent to swearing to the sky. Xiao Yue couldn't be sure for a while whether what he said was true or false, so he had to let them go back first.

It is not difficult for Xiao Yan to know what happened in the palace.

When he heard Mr. Sun say that he wanted his daughter to return to her hometown and always accompany the ancient Buddha with a green lantern, he felt his eyes darken.

Shen Huan was also quite speechless.

"He wants to use this method to force Xiao Yue to submit. After all, the rumors have come out now. If Xiao Yue does not marry Sun Yanyi, he cannot stop other princes from asking for marriage. Xiao Yue will not just watch this happen."

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Sun Yanyi's fate cannot be changed. There are many people in the world who want to marry her. After all, whoever marries her may become the emperor.

In this case, how could Xiao Yue tolerate her marrying someone else?

But if he was asked to give up Ning Fangfei, he asked himself that he couldn't do it.

"The Sun family's ambitions are too great. It's not enough to have a nephew as the prince. They also want to be the next queen. The emperor will never tolerate such people in the future."

Shen Huan nodded: "They are just seeking death."

If it is not stopped, Xiao Yue will definitely confiscate the Sun family and exterminate them one day.

Therefore, this matter must not happen. They did some tricks, but the purpose was to make the Sun family retreat, not to let them take this opportunity to go further.

-

The prince has never married a princess, and he refused to show it before. Now that Sun Yanyi, who is destined to be married, has become a bride, the officials in the court can't sit still, and they have suggested that he should be selected.

Xiao Yue had to visit the emperor every day, deal with various matters, and find someone to monitor and report Ning Fangfei's every move. He was so busy that he could only sleep for one or two hours a day and had no time to think about it.

The New Year in the Tang Palace was very simple.

Zhao Menghuan originally wanted to find someone to dance and perform. After that incident, she felt depressed for a few days and gave up without much time to choreograph.

On the first day of the new year, the clan will worship their ancestors.

Shen Huan hadn't officially married him yet, so she couldn't go with him, so she stayed in the house.

Thinking that she hadn't seen Zhao Menghuan for several days, she went to her yard to chat with her.

Zhao Menghuan couldn't stop. Her only hobby before was dancing. After being hit, she took a break. These days, she became obsessed with playing poker. She drew it by herself and had someone make a neat one out of boards. She spent time with the yard every day. The maids inside are playing.

When Shen Huan came over, the three of them were fighting against the landlord.

Seeing her coming, Zhao Menghuan greeted her with a smile: "Sisters, Landlord, are you coming?"

They bet money, two coppers per game, and the only thing they focused on was a sense of participation.

It's not that Shen Huan has never gambled before, but she has never played with such a small amount. The ones she played before were either large sums of money, or people's wealth, longevity, health, and even life.

What you play for is heartbeat and excitement.

"Okay." She said, "But I don't know how to do it. You have to teach me first."

Zhao Menghuan then enthusiastically taught her how to fight the landlord.

Shen Huan understood the rules and went on the court to play with them. At first, she won and lost, but later Zhao Menghuan realized that she couldn't beat her at all.

It doesn't matter if you are good at cards, but you can also count cards, so it is impossible to guard against them.

By noon, Zhao Menghuan had lost all the more than 100 copper coins she had taken out. She was very shocked and put down her cards: "I won't play anymore, I won't play anymore. I'm so unlucky. The biggest one I got was a jack." , you are so lucky, but you can’t do it.”

Shen Huan also felt that it was not very interesting and had no intention of continuing to play.

Zhao Menghuan stretched his legs and said on a whim: "How about we go out to play!"

-

While the two were having fun outside, a bell suddenly rang in the direction of the palace.

The sound was very loud and carried far away, and the dull sound rang nine times.

Someone in the crowd shouted: "The Emperor is having a banquet!"

Everyone knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the palace.

The two of them were standing on the street at the moment. Zhao Menghuan was stunned for a while, then he pulled the person to squat down and whispered: "What did you mean just now? Who died?"

"emperor."

Zhao Menghuan felt as if he was struck by lightning.

The emperor is dead? ? ?

She remembered that in the plot she watched, the emperor didn't die so quickly?

How to play this?

Those people knelt for a long time until the palace bells finished ringing, and then they all stood up.

Zhao Menghuan also quickly pulled the person to stand up, fearing that others would notice that they were squatting instead of kneeling.

"Let's go back quickly."

On the way back to the Tang Palace, ordinary people's houses were hanging white cloths. When they returned to the Tang Palace, the people in the palace had already hung up the white cloths and changed into plain clothes.

When the two came back, they were also taken to change into plain clothes.

After waiting in the palace for most of the day, Xiao Yansui failed to come back even after dark, so he sent one of his guards back to inform him of the situation.

The emperor died suddenly, and I don't know how many things will happen in the palace. If Xiao Yue had not mastered a lot of power during this period, there would definitely be chaos in the palace at this moment, but even so, there are still many people with evil intentions who want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

Xiao Yan casually stayed in the palace to help him, and at the same time, he wanted to help the emperor guard the funeral.

Shen Huan also thought that in the original plot, the emperor did not die so quickly, but the chaos was even worse at that time. The emperor was not dead, but he was holding on to help the prince stabilize the world.

Now that Xiao Yue is in control of power relatively smoothly, he doesn't have so many last wishes and just leaves if he can't hold on.

Just after the Chinese New Year, something like this happened in the capital, which instantly ruined the original joy of the New Year. White flags were hung on every household. According to the law, the emperor passed away. The princes, emperors, grandsons, civil and military officials were in mourning for the 27th. Taoist temples in the capital were in mourning every day. After the bell rings thirty thousand times, no one in the world is allowed to marry for one month, no animals are slaughtered for 49 days, and no princes, emperors, grandsons, civil and military officials are allowed to have fun for a hundred days.

So when Xiao Yan's busy schedule came to an end, a month had passed.

After the emperor was sent to the imperial mausoleum, Xiao Yue held the enthronement hall three days later. Due to the sudden incident, everything seemed very hasty. When Xiao Yue ascended the throne, all the civil and military officials were still wearing plain clothes.

After the ceremony was over, Xiao Yansui was finally able to return to the palace.

He had lost weight due to fatigue and was very haggard. Part of this was due to the death of the emperor, and more due to overwork during this period.

He wanted to tell Shen Huan about the affairs in the palace first, but Shen Huan took him back to the room directly: "I don't want to hear it now. You should have a good rest first, and then tell me after you have rested."

Xiao Yan was so tired and had so many things on his mind that he couldn't sleep at first. It wasn't until Shen Huan took off her clothes and came up to sleep with him and felt the peaceful breath on her body that he slowly closed his eyes.

It was a dark sleep this time. Everyone was very tired from the previous month. They took a break for the next day. Xiao Yan got up after he was full from sleep. Just when he was about to speak, Shen Huan still didn't listen and asked someone to bring food to him. come over.

After eating, drinking and resting, she called everyone out and then listened to him talk about what happened in the palace.

The emperor's illness was not considered an emergency, and he made some arrangements in advance. He left three imperial edicts. One was to praise Xiao Yue's filial piety and loyalty and let him inherit the throne. The second was for Concubine Li, and the content was for the future. No matter who becomes the emperor, he must treat her well at all times until she dies.

As for the third one, he canonized all the princes who were still in the capital when they came of age and were not crowned kings, and gave them fiefs, so that they could leave the capital after the mourning period was over, and they would not be allowed to return to the capital without an edict.

He obviously knew that none of his sons were peaceful masters. When he was alive, he always supported Xiao Yue and did not allow other princes to have their own ideas. But what those people would do after he died was beyond his control.

That's why this imperial edict was retained.

The only one who was not forced to go to the fiefdom was Xiao Yansui.

Shen Huan thought about it. In the original plot, it was April when the emperor died. Xiao Yue was rushing back from the border and just missed it, so the third prince sat on the throne for a while.

Later he snatched it back.

Now that this process is skipped, the third prince may not give up.

She expressed her thoughts, and Xiao Yue also agreed: "The third brother still suspected that the imperial edict was a forgery. If the old master hadn't pointed out that it was my father's handwriting, he would definitely not give up easily."

"But I haven't given up now. Maybe I'm holding back some bad intentions."

Xiao Yan was convinced.

"I will tell Brother Huang to be careful."

Shen Huan thought for a while and said: "Xiao Yue is the emperor now after all. You should be careful when talking to him. You don't need to say some things too directly, so as not to backfire."

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "I have known Brother Huang for more than ten years. I know what kind of person he is. He doesn't know how to do it."

Shen Huan said meaningfully: "The king's heart is unpredictable."

Xiao Yansui really didn't take it to heart at the moment. It wasn't until there was a gap between the brothers later that he understood her painstaking efforts.

-

The death of the emperor plunged the whole world into grief. Although the emperor did not make great contributions to the expansion of the territory, during the decades of his reign, there was no great chaos in the world, he was not easy to enjoy, and he did not carry out large-scale construction projects. He was considered a generation ago. Ming Lord.

After Xiao Yue ascended the throne, he issued a series of policies for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

The death of the late emperor is a bad thing, but the new emperor's ascension to the throne is a good thing. More people will be admitted in the spring of this year. The people of the world have to work lightly for three years and some prisoners who are not worthy of death can be released early...

The new year brings a new atmosphere. Although something bad happened at first, it gradually got better. After March, according to the ruins of the late emperor, all the other princes will go to their fiefdoms.

Before they left, the second prince came to see Shen Huan, and he came in the middle of the night, as if he was afraid of being discovered.

Shen Huan was not surprised to see the person and asked straight to the point: "Have you thought about living forever?"

The second prince smiled: "I am here to say goodbye to you two. I feel that I am not blessed to enjoy the art of immortality."

Shen Huan suddenly felt that he was inexplicable. He originally thought he could make a big mistake, but why did he become sober now?

"Since you don't want the immortality technique, the second prince should leave quickly."

"What, are you afraid that I will implicate you?"

Xiao Yansui also felt that he was confused: "Second brother is going to the fiefdom these days, right? From now on, we are far away from each other and we should not see each other. How can we be implicated? Could it be that second brother wants to rebel?"
