Quick Travel: Saving the Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Role

Chapter 200 Cannon Fodder in the Empress’s Story (34)

Xiao Yu shook his head: "I don't have that big ambition."

Strangely enough, before Xiao Yue was granted the title of crown prince, at least one-third of the officials in the court supported Xiao Yu as the future prince of Northern Qi. If the emperor had not arranged everything before his death, now it would be the final battle for the throne among the princes and grandsons. Intense times.

But neither of them exposed him.

"Since the second brother didn't rebel, why would he implicate us?"

Xiao Yu smiled meaningfully and said: "The eighth brother and sister's ability is too weird and can kill people invisible. I dare not say it now, but you will know it soon."

Xiao Yu seemed to have come to deliver Pandora's Box to them, and left after delivering it, leaving the two of them to speculate randomly.

Xiao Yansui went to the morning court. Xiao Yue did not behave strangely, and nothing happened in the capital. Gradually, Xiao Yansui thought that he just wanted to scare them.

They could not hold any wedding within three months of the late emperor's death, and their marriage was pushed to the end of April. During this period, Xiao Yansui had been helping Xiao Yue stabilize the government, and everything seemed to be developing in a prosperous direction.

The transition occurred in late April.

The barbarian tribes in the northwest are in the first small flood season of the year. During this period, the weather temperature rises and the ice and snow in the mountains melt. It is originally a good time for spring planting.

However, there was too much snow there last winter, and now the temperature is rising but not falling. The water that was originally just enough for spring planting has gradually turned into a flood. For the nomadic people, the snow on the mountains has just melted, and the grass has not grown. The places where pasture should grow were washed away by mud and water, and some mudslides even washed away their cattle and sheep. A crisis broke out without warning.

Northern Qi was also affected, but after all, the country was strong. The silver recovered from corruption and bribery last year could still support the national treasury, and it was not as passive as the nomads.

By mid-May, many northwest nomads who had no food to eat began to rob towns on the border between the two countries.

The Xirong people had already coveted the fertile land and ores in Northern Qi, thinking that they could one day occupy Northern Qi. Now that Northern Qi had just experienced a national mourning and was experiencing constant internal troubles, it was a good time for them to take action.

So the two sides soon fought.

After a few days of courting, he could not find anyone who could lead the troops to fight back. Xiao Yan followed his marriage and took a rest for seven days. He was called to the palace before the time came. Xiao Yue had no one he could truly trust and use, so he could only look for Xiao Yansui.

Xiao Yan was very worried after hearing what he said about the current situation. He asked, "Does the emperor want me to lead troops to repel Xirong?"

Xiao Yue shook his head: "Ayan, you are not good at fighting. You are neither a god in military skills nor a person with natural supernatural power. How could I let you go? I want you to supervise the country for me, and I want to conquer the country personally to show the prestige of the country. "

Xiao Yansui objected: "Your Majesty, how can Xirong be allowed to be conquered by you personally? The sage said that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. If the emperor is ill, Northern Qi will encounter a real crisis."

Xiao Yue has always been a king since he was a child. He also knows that it is not suitable for him to go, but now someone is forcing him to go.

He said: "Now that there is no one available in the court, I will also take this opportunity to take back the military power. If I can win, I will kill two birds with one stone, and I can also make those who disobey me look at each other. If I can't, I will entrust the world to It’s in your hands.”

Xiao Yansui became a little anxious: "Brother Emperor!"

Xiao Yue raised his hand to stop what he was about to say: "I know you want to persuade me. I have made up my mind. I will set off in five days. During the time I leave, you must be careful about the Sun family. I have found out something. Now I don’t have time to investigate further. When I come back, I will get to the bottom of this matter!”

Xiao Yansui knew that he could not persuade him, and it was useless to talk more, so he had to agree to temporarily supervise the country. The only person Xiao Yue could rest assured was him. He did not want to be the emperor, and the only one he could support was Xiao Yue.

Five days later, Xiao Yue set out from the capital with more than 100,000 troops and headed west to drive away the Xirong.

Xiao Yansui temporarily supervised the country. The two officials from the former princelings and now the royalists assisted in handling world affairs, and it was still stable at first.

By June, no message came back from the northwest for nearly a month, and the two sides completely lost contact. For a time, the rumors of the emperor's death in battle seemed to have wings, and the city was full of uproar.

At this time, several princes who had gone to the fiefdoms sent back letters, saying that they were coming back to retrieve the emperor's body and to help stabilize the court...

This was not their part originally. There was also such a part in the original plot. However, in the original plot, the male protagonist went to the northwest in the name of the prince, where he encountered a powerful enemy of the enemy country and almost lost his life on the battlefield.

It was the heroine who traveled thousands of miles to chase after him, went through all kinds of hardships to find the scarred prince, used all her power to transport grain, grass and medicinal materials, stabilized the precarious northwest border city, and fully supported Xiao Yue against Xirong. In the final battle, He was seriously injured trying to save him.

Xiao Yue had no time to feel sad about spring and autumn. News came out from the palace in the capital that the emperor was seriously ill and that the third prince had monopolized power. He rushed 800 miles away and wanted to rush back to see the emperor for the last time, but he didn't see him. The emperor left first.

The third prince forged an imperial edict to become the "new emperor" and arrested Xiao Yue on charges of treason and collaboration with the enemy. Xiao Yue was hastily taken away.

Then the second prince made a comeback and fought the third prince to the death.

When the two of them were almost fighting, Xiao Yue also found the real imperial edict, and came back with the imperial edict to bring order to the chaos. At that time, the second prince was in power. The second prince fell in love with the heroine Ning Fangfang, but he missed the move and was defeated. He came to the formation and was later exiled.

The butterfly effect brought by the two of them affected some things, but it was a downfall in the plot. The first one to arrive in the capital was the eldest prince. Unfortunately, although he was ambitious, he had no brains, and he was also the first to go offline.

Xiao Yansui did not take any action, and the eldest prince was assassinated.

The next two princes who fought the most fiercely were the second and third princes. The following brothers were basically their vassals. Even if they were not, based on their strength, they would not have the capital to fight for the throne.

Time flew by to the Mid-Autumn Festival. The second prince and the third prince had been back in Beijing for several months. They had been fighting openly and secretly, contacting officials in the capital. Xiao Yan was unable to guard against them, and finally failed.

Did he just want to see what they were going to do? What can be done?

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Yan held a banquet in the palace and gathered all the princes who were still alive. Shen Huan had said in advance that some of them would take action today, so he was waiting for them to do so.

More than halfway through the palace banquet, a dancer who was performing a talent suddenly drew her sword and rushed towards the second prince. If he had not escaped in time, he would have been killed on the spot.

Men in black with long swords rushed out from all around and began to attack the civil and military officials who came to attend the palace banquet. Two of them rushed towards Xiao Yansui with long swords in hand.

The people around him shouted loudly: "There are assassins, protect the prince!"
