Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

There were many people in the DPRK who also made the same guess, but their faces were soon swollen after swearing.

In the morning of the next day, the old emperor announced Yang Yan's identity. Of course, he did not explain it in a complicated manner, so he continued to use the identity he had made up for himself before. The sixty-three-year-old Taoist priest felt the aura of heaven and earth overnight. Time to rejuvenate your youth.

He talked about "immortal master" in the court, and also said that he would rename the East Palace to the Immortal Palace to accommodate the immortal master. Originally, he planned to invite the immortal master to come to the court to receive worship, but Yang Yan refused. .

The old emperor was not unhappy after being rejected. Instead, he felt even more that the immortal master was not interested in fame and wealth, and praised him for his immortal demeanor.

The ministers looked at each other for a moment. They had heard this rumor before, but privately they didn't believe it. They all thought he was doing it to attract the emperor back to the court.

Now that the old emperor said this, the theory that the royal blood was flowing outside was naturally untenable, but most of them still did not believe in the child's theory of rejuvenation, thinking that the emperor had been deceived by the evil way.

I don’t know where the wild Taoist priest came from, but he deceived the emperor with his brilliant tongue, no? But he was able to live in the East Palace, and he actually got a place “as if I were here in person”. Isn’t this because he asked all of them to be in front of him? A lower grade?

How could these princes and ministers be willing to let a little man of unknown origin step on their heads and dominate them?

But the emperor didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup was poured into him by the little Taoist priest. After three dynasties, the old censor just got up and said that the Taoist priest was not trustworthy, so the emperor found a mistake and ordered him to close the door. After reflecting on it, others could only shut up knowingly.

However, being afraid to remonstrate openly does not mean that you are unable to cause trouble secretly. After the disbandment of the dynasty, everyone began to mobilize their own efforts to find out the identity of the so-called Taoist Master Yang Yan.

It's a pity that the old emperor had already ordered people to clean up the matter. They searched and searched but couldn't find any flaws. They only learned that this person seemed to have some ability. On the contrary, many people turned against him and believed that he was really a capable person.

As long as the affairs in the palace are not deliberately covered up, the news will spread very quickly, not to mention that the old emperor is eager to spread the news about the immortal master. In a few days, an immortal chief moved into the palace. , the emperor also deliberately changed the East Palace to the Immortal Palace, which spread in the capital.

This matter did not have a big impact on ordinary people. It only gave them another source of conversation after dinner. They thought simply.

Most people just think that someone who is respected even by the emperor must be a real immortal master.

Moreover, Yang Yan had never been inaccurate in fortune telling in the market before. He already had a high reputation, and when this incident came out, he was even more respected as a fairy.

The deeds of retrieving children and identifying murderers were publicized again, but word of mouth inevitably added fuel to the fire, and in the end it was exaggerated countless times compared to the original version.

It was obviously the result of a face-to-face meeting, but it was rumored that Taoist Master Yang Yan invited heavenly soldiers and generals to capture the culprits. There was also such things as spreading the beans and calling in evil messengers to find out the cause and effect. It was called that at that time. After hearing this, the people present laughed and cried.

However, scholars obviously think in a longer term. February of next year will be the spring festival held every three years. Although it is still more than half a year away, there are many candidates who are interested in participating in the examination. Entered Beijing.

Firstly, you can make connections, and secondly, you can also find out about the temperament of the examiner. You can avoid taboos when answering questions, and you can also cater to one or two to get a good ranking.

Therefore, in recent days, all the major restaurants and teahouses have been bustling with activity. Every day there are gatherings of children from various families and their disciples, and the most popular one in the capital is the Zhuangyuan Tower.

At this time, a group of people gathered together in the building to discuss quietly, and they were talking about Taoist Master Yang Yan, who was in the limelight recently.

"Spreading beans to make soldiers and calling for wind and rain are all tricks to fool people. If he really had such ability, he would have gone to the immortal class long ago. Why bother to stay in this mortal world?"

"Brother Huang said that a true master should be indifferent to fame and fortune, but he went to that person to flatter him. Or is he here for glory and wealth?"

"I just don't know what methods this person used. The wise and powerful man was actually deceived by him. We can learn from the past. Has the emperor forgotten the disaster of Hongwan before?"

"Brother Zhang, be careful! Is that me? I'm the one who can be discussed? Walls have ears, so be careful of others listening. It's a small thing to be dismissed. If you harm your family because of this, you may regret it for the rest of your life."

Suo Yuxuan was sitting at the same table with several people. He saw that the more they talked, the louder they became, and the content became more and more offensive, and they interrupted more and more frequently.

"Brother Suo Xian is too cautious," Brother Zhang shook his head and said disapprovingly, "We scholars are supposed to share the worries of the court, and we cannot just watch absurd things happen. But you don’t care, do you?”

Most people who have read history books know that the emperor’s belief in Buddhism did more harm than good. Historical reasons

There were many cases of large-scale construction projects for the sake of the emperor's passage, killing of people's lives for the purpose of refining elixirs, and spoiling of Taoist priests to bring trouble to the imperial court.

Now that the Taoist priest had just entered the palace, the emperor gave him a token saying "I am here in person" and changed the East Palace into the Palace of Immortals. This shows his favor and trust, and he may not follow in his footsteps in the future.

The more Zhang Juzi thought about it, the more he felt that he was right. He looked at her with undisguised contempt: "Brother Suo Xian is so timid and fearful, why not stay at home and farm the fields? Why bother to travel thousands of miles away?" Going to Beijing to take the exam?”

Suo Yuxuan breathed heavily in his chest, and he kindly reminded her that this person didn't know a good person's heart, and yet he scolded her in turn. He really didn't know what to say!

She now appears to be from a poor family, but after all she was born in a royal family. Although her family suffered disaster when she was three years old, she was born precocious and still has some memories of what happened when she was a child.

Moreover, the master she worshiped later had an old relationship with her grandfather, and he was once a second-rank official and often chatted with her about affairs in the court. Therefore, she understood the power and tyranny of imperial power better than ordinary people from a poor family, and she also felt more awe in her heart.

"Learning from the Past" and "The Disaster of the Red Pill" have vague suspicions of blaming the emperor. If someone really catches him and makes a fuss, it will at least be a serious crime of disrespect.

By then, Brother Zhang would certainly be held responsible, and those at the same table might also be implicated. Suo Yuxuan felt a little regretful about attending the banquet.

She changed her name and returned to the capital incognito. She wanted to overturn the case for her family and avenge those who harmed her family. Now she had just gained the trust of her enemies. How could she be harmed by a bold and fearless scholar before the big thing was accomplished?

"I'm sorry, I remembered that I still have something to do at home." Suo Yuxuan stood up decisively when he thought of this, cupped his hands and said, "I'll take my leave today. Let's meet up another day."

The other people at the same table didn't take Zhang Juzi's words seriously at all. They were just discussing Taoist priests who were causing harm to the country. Who would have expected that this person would keep talking about "removal of fame" and defeat everyone's purpose. interest.

Seeing that she was about to leave, several people pretended to stay with her. Seeing that she had decided to leave, they only said a few polite words and let her go. However, after she left, several people started talking again. .

"I heard before that Suo Yuxuan was Jieyuan of Dongyang Mansion. I thought he was some great big shot. But now I know that after meeting him, I know that he is just a sleazy commoner. I don’t even dare to say a few words of justice. It seems that there may not be any dishonest people even under the great reputation.”

"Brother Zhang, what are you saying? In front of me

It's just a chat between the two of us. You should leave some thin noodles for him outside. After all, he is Qi Xiang's son-in-law who rides a dragon. Be careful if he reports it to your father-in-law and makes you run around without food! "

"What kind of bastard is riding a dragon to become a son-in-law? Do you think I don't know? The surname is Suo. She just got lucky and married a concubine from Qi Xiang's family. Besides, his wife only married a month ago. I don’t know if Qi Xiang recognizes him as his son-in-law or not!”

"That's not for sure. I heard that he has been running to the Prime Minister's Mansion from time to time recently. He was greeted respectfully every time. I think Prime Minister Qi still values ​​him."

"Another person who clings to the powerful!" Zhang Juren cursed angrily. He didn't dare to say anything more, and several people started talking about other things.

They didn't notice that a richly dressed young man sitting at the table next to them with his back to the others listened to their words from beginning to end. When he heard "Qi Xiang's son-in-law riding a dragon", he raised his eyes and walked down the stairs. The young man looked at it for a moment, then left a piece of silver and got up and left.

Suo Yuxuan held his breath and walked out of the Zhuangyuan Building. He looked at the people coming and going on the street, feeling a little confused for a moment.

It has been more than half a year since she came to the capital. Although something like Qi Yaner's death happened midway, things still developed according to her plan and she successfully got close to her enemy.

But the more she got to know him, the more she discovered how powerful the prime minister's office was and how intricately intertwined it was in the entire court. Almost half of the courtiers had a close relationship with Qi Xuan.

Although her enemies have personally praised her talent, saying that if she maintains her current status, she will definitely be in high school when she takes the exam next year, and she still has a chance to be ranked among the top three.

But even if you win the first prize, you will only be granted a low-ranking official of the sixth rank. How easy is it to overthrow the huge Prime Minister's Mansion with your own strength?

So she must find foreign aid. She is already fifty-five now. Rumor has it that her health has not been very good in the past two years, and she may not be able to survive for a few more years.

Qi Xuan supported the second prince. As long as he secretly defected to other princes, when the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the Qi family would definitely be liquidated.

But which prince should she seek refuge with? There are three princes in the court who are second only to the second prince in power. However, he has many advisers around him. There is no guarantee that he will be reused if he joins in. Moreover, with his current status, how can he win his trust? It's also a problem.

Suo Yuxuan doesn't want to reveal his true identity for the time being, but other than that

She had no other bargaining chips, and she couldn't help but slightly frowning at the thought of this.

"Brother!"

She was lost in thought when she was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. She was caught off guard and almost screamed. She turned and fell down.

"careful!"

Just when Suo Yuxuan thought she was about to fall, a pair of hands suddenly appeared from the ground to hold her up. One of the hands happened to land on her chest.
