Quick Travel: Saving the Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Role

It's been snowing in Beiyan for a whole month.

As the New Year approaches, the capital city, which has been ravaged by wind and snow for many days, finally sees some sunshine. The city gate that has been closed for a long time is opened, and the frozen corpses leaning against the corner fall down. There are more than a dozen corpses attached, all of them are in ragged clothes. , thin and withered bones, it makes people sad when they see it, and sheds tears when they hear it.

The gatekeepers had just had time to collect the bones when the clatter of horse hooves came from not far away. Within a moment, two horses running in tandem pulled a fine pear wood carriage and ran over.

"Emperor Ji returns to the capital! Stay out of the way!"

The people guarding the city gate only had time to kneel down, and the carriage passed in front of them in the wind and snow, followed by thousands of cavalry, neat and solemn, which made people sigh that it was indeed the pomp of the Emperor Ji, extraordinary. Emperors, grandsons and nobles can compare.

This year is the twenty-sixth year of Emperor Xuanzhen.

The world is still peaceful, but Emperor Xuanzhen only has the power to maintain his status, but has no ability to expand the territory. He has been in power for more than 20 years, and can only be said to have achieved nothing but no faults.

She was almost forty years old when she inherited the throne. Now that she is old and frail, she has long lost her dream of achieving great power. She only hopes to pass on the power in her hands to the Emperor Ji and continue the Li family. As for expanding the territory, She has no choice but to leave all the nations to come to court and the Li family to be handed over to her descendants for generations to come.

Northern Yan Emperor Ji Li Changhuan, nineteen years old, the youngest daughter of Emperor Xuanzhen. Rumor has it that she has a cruel personality and feeds on the flesh and blood of human beings. If the attendants around her do not go well with her, they will be killed by her. There are people in the capital who use it to treat children. Crying at night has a bad reputation.

Even so, her position as the crown prince of the Li family cannot be shaken.

The powerful Di Ji recently had a nightmare.

She dreamed that her sisters were rebelling, and that the young master of the Xiao family whom she was about to marry belonged to them. He would poison her, steal her military talisman, and help her third sister Li Changle open the city gate to let the rebels The army came in, and eventually she died under the bow and arrow of the third sister.

This is nonsense.

Li Changhuan snorted coldly when he woke up, but did not take this matter to heart.

Her sisters all coveted her position, and she knew it well, and she was always on guard. Their actions were like children's play in her eyes, and they did not threaten her at all.

As for the medicine, she was born with auspiciousness and has been immune to poison since she was a child. What kind of medicine can harm her?

"Your Highness."

Li Changhuan sat up in his obscene clothes: "Come in."

The heavy palace door was pushed open, and the maid serving personally walked around the screen and walked up to her with light steps: "Your Highness, I didn't go back to Beijing yesterday to meet with the Holy Emperor. This morning, Your Highness should go to the Yushitai." All the adults are staring at His Highness."

"A group of mediocre people who talk nonsense all the time. Are you afraid of them if they are alone?"

While changing her clothes, the palace maid said: "Your Highness has great virtues, and the Holy Ones see it. There is no harm in the censor participating in the performance. It's just that your Highness will be a king in the future. He must recruit wise men and accept advice." An act of kindness.”

This so-called good deed does not mean that she has to do many good deeds, but that she has to do things that are beneficial to herself. She is in a high position and has a great reputation. Not only those on the Yushitai, but also everyone in the world is watching.

"Noisy."

The palace maid then fell silent and fixed her ring. Looking at the tall and elegant prince of a country in front of her, Shangguan Hui was naturally happy as her close minister.

"Our Highness is becoming more and more beautiful, but I don't know which young master is worthy of him?"

Li Changhuan didn't care much about this. The dream she had last night flashed through her mind, and she laughed: "I heard that the Xiao family has a son who is famous in the capital? If you have time, why not go and find out for the lonely king?"

"Your Highness, are you serious?" Shangguan Hui sounded excited.

Her master is not young anymore, and most of the other noble ladies in the capital would have had their husbands and their children gathered around their knees for a long time. However, her empress has always looked like a cold fairy, and has never been interested in men.

There is nothing wrong with planning a great career first and taking care of the family later, but as a prince, having a wife as soon as possible can calm the people's hearts. The emperor mentioned her marriage many times, but she rejected it.

Now that he takes the initiative to bring it up, is it possible that he is really interested in Young Master Xiao?

However, Li Changhuan showed a lack of interest: "It was just a casual comment. The Xiao family is too ambitious and it is inappropriate."

The Xiao family is a large family in Beiyan that has been handed down for hundreds of years, with more than three thousand disciples and former officials? Nowadays, half of the officials with real power in the court are involved with the Xiao family.

Originally, it was nine out of ten that after Li Changhuan started to get involved in politics, he vigorously encouraged the imperial examination, so that many children from poor families could enter the court through the ten-year window. After a few years, the Xiao family's complete control over the civil service group was finally broken. Nowadays, officials from poor families can compete with them.

But the power of the Xiao family cannot be underestimated.

so what?

The literati rebelled, but it took ten years.

Li Changhuan still didn't take what he saw in his dream to heart.

"The Xiao family's behavior has been much restrained, and it is no longer as wild as before. If His Highness intends to suppress the Xiao family, marriage may not be a means. I heard that Xiao Yanzhi, the eldest son of the Xiao family, is quite talented and has outstanding appearance, and is highly valued by the Marquis of Yong'an. If he is included in the government, promoted openly and secretly, it will also have the effect of suppressing the Xiao family."

Xiao Yan arrives.

It was the man who drugged her in her dream.

Li Changhuan was very curious about this.

Although she scorned everything in her dream, she still wanted to see if everything could come true, so she did not refuse directly.

"The matter of marriage still depends on the Queen Mother."

It's not that she hasn't thought about starting a family, it's just that she has been busy with political affairs before, especially after assisting in supervising the country. She has been so busy for several years that she has no time to think about it.

Now that I mention it, it’s indeed time.

Shangguan Hui quickly leaned forward: "That's natural."

Not to mention the royal family, in ordinary people, marriage is also the order of the parents. How can the children have the final say in the matchmaker's words?

After getting dressed, Shangguan Hui followed her out of the East Palace to meet the emperor.

-

Emperor Xuanzhen is sixty-five years old this year. She has been well-dressed and well-fed, nourished by fine wine and fairy dew since she was a child, and she has taken good care of herself. Now she is inevitably aging. She is wearing a phoenix robe and sitting on a dragon chair, looking at her daughters below. Each of them All have evil intentions.

She knew in her heart that her daughters were not convinced by her decision to appoint her young daughter as the crown prince. In the past few years, she had been constantly attacking openly and secretly. She turned a blind eye most of the time. After all, as a crown prince, she avoided even these small disasters. If we don’t go through, it’s hard to say what will happen next.

"The Emperor is here!"

Li Changhuan walked in wearing court clothes and saluted the emperor respectfully: "My son, I pay homage to my mother, long live the emperor!"

"Huan'er, there's no need to be polite. Get up quickly and give me a seat."

Only when he saw his youngest daughter, whom he was most satisfied with, did the emperor smile a little more in his eyes.

"Huan'er went to Huainan this time. It was a hard journey and a long journey."

"Relieving the Queen Mother's worries is what a son, a daughter, and a minister should do."
