Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

"Of course it's me!" Yang Yan glanced at him strangely and said with a smile, "Otherwise, how could His Majesty suddenly suffer a stroke when he was well? It's impossible that he was really angry with the Fourth Prince, right?"

He pinched his chin and said calmly: "Thanks to the courage of the Fourth Prince, he actually dared to do such a thing in the palace, otherwise I would not have found such a good opportunity to get close to His Majesty!"

The old emperor's mind was greatly affected. At this time, there was more air coming out and less air coming in. People who have had a stroke are taboo about being overjoyed or sad. Otherwise, if it is mild, the condition will be more serious. If it is severe, he may kick his legs on the spot.

I don’t know how unreasonable this old guy is, he actually called him here to make himself angry!

Yang Yan sighed a few times in his heart. Seeing that he was about to lose his breath, he calmly straightened his sleeves and stood up. Then he pretended to be panicked and shouted: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ? Come here, call the doctor!"

The eunuch who was eavesdropping outside the house hurriedly opened the door and entered. Two people hurriedly stepped forward to caress the old emperor's chest. The others were fetching water and rubbing the handkerchief, asking for the imperial doctor, and asking for the new emperor. Everyone was busy.

Yang Yan looked guilty, but actually left the room feeling relieved.

The new emperor has not yet officially ascended the throne, and he does not want the Supreme Emperor to die yet. After all, he has to observe filial piety once his old father dies, and his accession to the throne may also be affected, so he has arranged for a permanent imperial doctor to be stationed in the palace.

Fortunately, the rescue was timely, and the old emperor's life was saved. However, after such a period of anger, his illness became more serious. Now he is completely paralyzed on the bed. His tongue is numb, his lips cannot close, and he can't even speak clearly. Qing couldn't even say anything.

When the new emperor came to hear the news, he happened to hear the diagnosis result of the imperial physician. He couldn't help but snicker on his face, but he quickly suppressed it and replaced it with grief, and his face was temporarily distorted.

"Father--" he called out sadly and sighed "how could this happen? It has obviously gotten better before."

"It's all my fault," Yang Yan apologized in due time, "I shouldn't have mentioned the fourth prince. The emperor's condition became worse when he was so angry."

The new emperor had long known about their conversation in the room, and was very annoyed that his father was still thinking about the fourth emperor's brother at this time. He was also very satisfied that he did not say in public that his father was not happy for him to inherit the throne.

However, after being reminded of this, he suddenly remembered how he got this help. He rolled his eyes and said: "It seems that the fourth emperor brother has been locked up for some time. I have been worried about how to deal with him. I don't know how to deal with him. Prince Ning Any good suggestions?”

The fact that his father cared so much about Fang Jiarong had already made him murderous. But if he killed his own brother as soon as he succeeded to the throne, it would be difficult to explain to the officials in the court.

Moreover, although the fourth child made a mistake, it was not a big mistake like treason. To put it bluntly, it was just a love affair, but it was only because the wife of King Ning, who had a lot of troops, was hooked up with him, and because he made a mistake in the palace. That kind of thing made my father sick, so it seemed more serious.

The most important thing is to punish him by reducing his rank. If the punishment is excessive, people will inevitably say that he is mean and ungrateful.

Fang Jialong had just ascended the throne, and he cherished his feathers quite a lot. Although he had great ambitions and little talent, he was not completely brainless, so he refused to do anything about it.

But he was not willing to let the fourth child go, so he deliberately posed this problem to Prince Ning, thinking that this was a cuckold's revenge, and he would definitely not be willing to bear it.

At that time, the decision was made by Prince Ning. I only had no choice but to hand over the person to him. In any case, I couldn't blame myself. I solved the problem that was close to my heart and successfully passed the blame. Don't kill two birds with one stone too perfectly!

Fang Jialong's calculations were going on, but he didn't expect that after Yang Yan had experienced several worlds, he had some vague understanding of the way of heaven. He could not personally take the lives of the male and female protagonists or participate in them.

Otherwise, it will definitely cause turmoil in the world. For example, being destroyed by heaven in the life of cultivating immortals is a minor matter. If it is more serious, it may cause the entire small world to collapse.

"Alas -" Yang Yan let out a long sigh and said, "Of course Yi Chen wants to cut him into pieces, but after all, the fourth prince is your Majesty's biological brother. For the sake of His Majesty's reputation, I can't just care about him. Act according to your own will.”

Fang Jialong wanted to shake his shoulders and tell him loudly, I don't mind, just tell him how you want him to die, I will agree without hesitation, and just throw the blame on your head!

Unfortunately, the reality is that he can only say with a stiff face: "Prince Ning really understands justice."

"I don't deserve it," Yang Yan showed a shy smile, "Actually, I want to ask for a favor from the emperor."

"Say." Fang Jialong didn't want to talk to him anymore, but he knew that he still needed his support now, so he could only say it patiently.

Yang Yan said directly: "Although I cannot kill the fourth prince, I don't want to see him in the capital anymore. Can the emperor reduce him to a commoner and demote him out of the capital?"

Fang Jialong thought for a moment that this seemed good. After losing his status as a royal family, his fourth brother would not be able to make any waves and would not pose any threat to him in the future, so he readily agreed: "Just as King Ning wishes. ”

"I have one more request," Yang Yan added unceremoniously, "Since Fang Jiarong and Jiang Ruxue want to be together despite all odds, I think they are in love."

"Why don't you allow the fourth prince's wife to divorce him, so that they can be married and live together for the rest of their lives, and not let down their deep love."

"That's right!" Fang Jialong immediately agreed, and couldn't help but smile, "Then listen to King Ning, I will draft an order later."

It seems that King Ning is not as generous as he appears. After this series of punishments, it is unknown whether his fourth brother is lucky or unfortunate to have escaped with his life.

Although he has not experienced it personally, he has seen many people on the street. They wear gray and simple clothes all day long, and the fabrics look like they prick the flesh. They eat all kinds of coarse food. His fourth brother probably wouldn't even look at them before.

The prospective princess' divorce is even more amazing. His fourth brother's wife is from a noble family. This matter does not harm his wife and children, so he can't punish them together. If she is still involved with him, he will have to help her in the future.

But this would completely cut off the relationship between the two, and the fourth brother would have to marry a recognized □□吐as his wife. Even if the fourth brother's wife was generous, she would not care about him anymore, which was equivalent to completely cutting off his retreat.

Huh? Speaking of it, the concubines, concubines and maids in the fourth brother's mansion all had their own backgrounds. It would be better to give them a choice. If they were willing, they could divorce and return home. If they were unwilling, they had to cut off their relationship with their family and never let him get any benefits!

Fang Jialong's mind was completely opened. He quickly sent Prince Ning away and went back to draft an imperial decree with great interest. He couldn't wait to know the fourth brother's face after getting this result.

Yang Yan was thrown away by him after he used her up, but he was not annoyed. He left the palace in a good mood. When he passed by a roast duck restaurant, he packed a few ducks and prepared to entertain his subordinates who came to the mansion to discuss matters in the evening.

However, he was blocked at the gate of Prince Ning's mansion by a man who was not afraid of death.

"Your Highness Prince Ning! Please let Ruxue go! She must have been framed. You have been married for so many years, don't you even believe her?"

The person who came was the son of the Minister of Personnel whom he met on the way back to Beijing when he first came to this world. At this time, he looked haggard, his clothes were wrinkled and even a little dirty. How could he still look like a handsome man?

"Are you that Yu what?" Yang Yan rode on the horse, looking down at the people below.

He himself looked good. In order to enter the palace today to piss off the old emperor, he specially took care of himself, and looked even more heroic. Moreover, he had cultivated for several lifetimes and had even been an emperor and a cultivator. He had a demeanor that ordinary people did not have.

Yu Xiuming looked down at himself, feeling somewhat ashamed. He suppressed his discomfort and replied, "I am Yu Xiuming, the son of the Minister of Personnel. Your Highness may not remember us. We have met before."

"Minister of Personnel?" Yang Yan looked at him with interest, "Your father should not allow you to come to see me, right?"

Yu Xiuming's face froze for a moment. Although he was known as the most talented scholar in the capital, he had never been interested in pursuing a career in politics. He was not eligible to attend the banquet that day. It was not until his father came back and talked about him that he knew that Ruxue had been in trouble.

He couldn't help but yell that Ruxue must have been wronged on the spot. Only then did his father know that he actually had a private relationship with the wife of the current Prince Ning. He was so scared that he ordered him not to mention this matter in the future.

Of course, Yu Xiuming refused to listen and wanted to go to Prince Ning to plead for mercy, but he was locked up at home by his father. After so many days, he finally escaped with great difficulty, so he was so embarrassed.

He was afraid that his father would send someone to arrest him at any time, so he said anxiously: "Your Highness Prince Ning, Ruxue was really framed. Believe me, she is definitely not that kind of person."

"This Mr. Yu," Yang Yan said coldly, "I would like to ask, how do you know the maiden name of my former wife?"

Yu Xiuming was stunned on the spot. A woman's maiden name has always been known and called by her family. Even if outsiders accidentally heard it, they must not call it out.

However, Jiang Ruxue never cared about this when she was talking to them. They gradually got used to calling her by her name. Unexpectedly, she called her by her name in front of Prince Ning at this time.

He came here to help Ruxue clear her grievances, but looking at Prince Ning's expression, he seemed to have done a bad thing with good intentions, and instead made her crime more solid?
