Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

Chapter 140: The God of War Protecting the Nation 17

Moreover, if his father had not fallen ill, he would not have been the emperor. Even if it was really caused by Prince Ning, he could not really blame him.

However, Fang Jialong was still a little worried about the latter point. Although it was precisely because King Ning led troops to Beijing that he could successfully ascend the throne, but now that he is the emperor, if King Ning really has a counter-intention, then he will be able to do so. It's him!

Does Prince Ning really have evil intentions?

Fang Jialong actually didn't believe it. After all, his army had already taken control of the palace that day. If he really had any ideas, he could have launched an attack then. Why wait until now?

However, what Yu Qing said was correct. King Ning had too many troops and should be suppressed appropriately.

Thinking of this, the new emperor spoke: "Nonsense! You have a personal grudge and just deal with it in private. How can it be disrespectful to bring it to court?"

"If everyone imitates you and participates in the government because of the resentment in their hearts, then how can I deal with national affairs? I can just solve your problems all day long."

The implication is that they didn't believe anyone's words, and they regarded their participation as a grudge and attacked each other. On the surface, they were fighting each other fifty times, but in fact, the Minister of Staff did not care, but Prince Ning was slapped in the face. .

Yu Qing immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have to take down Prince Ning. After all, he had a lot of troops. Even the original Supreme Emperor had to worry about three points when he was in power, let alone the new emperor.

The reason why he took the risk was that he was afraid of King Ning's retaliation. Now that the grudge between them had been brought to light, there was no need to be afraid in the future.

It turns out that the new emperor doesn’t trust Prince Ning that much! With the idea in mind, Yu Qing suddenly felt a little proud, and couldn't help but look at him with a hint of contempt.

Not to mention him, other ministers saw the new emperor's attitude towards Prince Ning and were not as afraid of him as before.

Yang Yan looked around and took in everyone's expressions. He chuckled and said, "I have accused Mr. Yu of his crime, but there are both witnesses and physical evidence. Your Majesty, please punish him according to the law."

There was a sudden gasp in the court hall. No one expected that he would be so bold and directly instruct the emperor to do things.

"Bold Prince Ning!" Fang Jialong said with a gloomy face and displeasure, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Everyone was silent, but Yang Yan said unhurriedly in the silence: "Your Majesty may say so, as a minister, I should correct your Majesty's words and deeds at any time."

"After all, every move of His Majesty is related to the safety of the Great Lin Dynasty. If he does something inappropriate, wouldn't it be harmful to the country and the people?"

"You—" Fang Jialong's eyes widened in disbelief, "You are so brave!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty," Yang Yan raised his eyebrows, "I have indeed always been very courageous, otherwise I would not have gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy at the age of fourteen."

Fang Jialong was so angry that he couldn't speak. He pointed at him with a trembling finger. He took a while to catch his breath: "Come here!" Catch the thief!"

He thought that after he shouted these words, he would see the other person worried and scared, but to his disappointment, the expression on Yang Yan's face did not change at all, and she still looked at him with a faint smile.

Fang Jialong soon felt that something was wrong. There were guards outside the court, but after so long after his order was issued, there was no movement outside the door.

The original violent emotion was gradually replaced by fear, and his face slowly turned extremely pale. Looking at the man standing tall in front of him, his body could not stop shaking.

"Ning, Prince Ning," Fang Jialong's lips twitched uncontrollably, "W-what on earth did you do?"

"As your Majesty can see," Yang Yan Shi Ran said, "Now the entire palace belongs to me, and by the way, so do the guards in the capital!"

Now let alone the new emperor, even the ministers began to be afraid. Could it be that Prince Ning was really going to rebel?

"What do you want to do?" Fang Jialong asked everyone's thoughts.

They really couldn't understand this man's thoughts. If they wanted to go against it, why didn't the Supreme Emperor do it the day he fell ill? Instead, he pushed the new emperor to take the throne. Now that he's doing this, isn't it like taking off his pants and farting? It's unnecessary.

"I just said it!" Yang Yan said, "Do you have something wrong with your ears?" He said, "As a minister, I have the responsibility to supervise your Majesty's words and deeds, and not to do anything wrong that will harm the country and the people."

Fang Jialong had a look on his face that said, "You're not fooling me." If that was really the case, why not ascend the throne and become the emperor himself instead of using such a roundabout method?

He was desperately trying to think of the reason why Prince Ning would do this. This was probably the fastest time in his life that his mind was spinning, and soon he really thought of a reason.

"You want to hold the emperor hostage to order the princes?" Fang Jialong understood everything in an instant, "You are afraid that if you proclaim yourself emperor, the troops stationed everywhere will also turn against you, so you need my existence to control the entire world in a legitimate way. And tell them to throw a rat weapon!"

"Your Majesty, you can say so," Yang Yan admitted unabashedly and said extremely arrogantly, "So your Majesty, please be obedient? After all, you are not the only prince in this palace, and you are not the only one who can serve me. "

Fang Jialong: "..."

He was speechless for a moment. Even if he understood this man's intention, what was the use?

The entire palace has fallen into his control, and his life is also in the opponent's hands. As he said, he still has several imperial brothers. If he refuses to obey, he can kill him. He promoted his imperial brother to the throne.

Fang Jialong was almost in despair. He had been looking forward to the throne for twenty or thirty years. He thought that he would be able to hold great power and enjoy the worship of the whole world, but in the end he ended up with this result.

He might as well be a law-abiding prince like before, at least his father wouldn't suddenly take his life. He doesn't have to worry about his life like he is now. He will have to worry about his life every day in the future.

"You traitor! Your Majesty has treated you well. His Majesty has also been extremely kind to you. He named you Prince Ning when he succeeded to the throne. However, you actually repaid kindness with evil intentions. I am ashamed to be associated with you!"

"If you want to humiliate the emperor today, you have to step over my body!"

To Fang Jialong's surprise, there were actually people who were willing to stand up and protect him with their lives and wealth at this time. Moreover, these old ministers were the ones he usually disliked, those with bad tempers and tough tempers.

"My dear——" He was suddenly moved to tears. A grown man in his thirties started crying. There was really no sense of beauty at all.

Yang Yan looked at the righteous elders in front of him with confusion in his eyes: "I just pointed out the mistakes made by the emperor. Is there anything wrong with that?"

He pointed at Yu Qing and said: "This person is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but he accepts bribes, turns a blind eye to officials who deserve punishment, and refuses to give people a chance to stand out for outstanding performance that should be rewarded. Witnesses witness The physical evidence is there, shouldn’t he be punished?”

Several elders dared to risk their lives at this time. They were all loyal and patriotic upright people. Of course, they could not stand a villain like Yu Qing. They looked at each other and said they deserved punishment.

Yang Yan nodded and continued: "But the emperor knew that he was at fault, but refused to punish him. As a minister, shouldn't I give advice to your majesty?"

Several people immediately looked at each other, and after a while one of them said: "Prince Ning, as ministers, we do have the duty to advise His Majesty, but we should not advise like you..."

"But will your Majesty listen to my good advice?" Yang Yan asked.

Several elders: "..."

Looking at the situation, the emperor most likely won't listen. Thinking about it this way, it seems that he understands Prince Ning's approach, no! He almost led him into a ditch!

How can any minister use force to persuade and remonstrate? This is simply committing rebellion! And he just admitted that he wanted to blackmail the emperor to order the princes!

Several people were about to continue scolding, but Yang Yan spoke one step ahead of them: "Through this incident, I discovered that the emperor does not seem to be qualified for the position of emperor!"

"Such a simple and clear matter cannot be handled well. Why don't we change the throne to another prince, lest the emperor be incompetent, harm the country and the people, and harm the people of the world."

"Nonsense!" One of the elders immediately puffed his beard and glared, "How can the emperor change just by saying? If this matter spreads, how will the people in the world view the court?"

"This seems to make sense," Yang Yan frowned, "and I see that the other princes don't seem to have much ability. Maybe they won't be as good as your Majesty after becoming emperor?"

Everyone was led astray by him for a moment, and began to evaluate the abilities of the other princes in their hearts. They found that things were exactly as King Ning said, and they all felt a little depressed for a moment - the members of the royal family were really inferior to each other from generation to generation.

Yang Yan pretended to be deep in thought, and after a moment he thumped his hands and said, "Yes!"

"Why don't we set up a department to handle state affairs? We can brainstorm when things happen, and we can vote to resolve different opinions."

"Three cobblers can still stand up to one Zhuge Liang! In this way, not only the efficiency of work will be high, but also the chance of making mistakes will be reduced. Will we no longer harm the country and the people?"

Everyone thought along his train of thought and found that this was indeed a solution. If those mediocre emperors who had misled the country in the previous dynasty also had such a team, how could they bring down the entire country because of their wrong decisions?

This is the thought of a minister who truly serves the country and the people. Those who are smart start to think about how much power they will gain if they join this department.

For a while, everyone began to discuss how this department should operate, and slowly improved Yang Yan's proposal.

The more Fang Jialong listened, the more something was wrong. He couldn't bear it and roared: "Where do you put me?"
