Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

As a rule in the Great Lin Dynasty, all the ministers had to keep vigil for three days after the death of the emperor. This was a hardship for some of the senior ministers. It was already late autumn, and the day was fine. However, as the evening wore on, the coughs of the old men could be heard one after another.

Yang Yan himself didn't pay attention to these formalities, but he couldn't change the rules rashly, so he had to order someone to set up a greenhouse and invite the elderly ministers and family members inside.

Unexpectedly, his casual action touched the hearts of many people, who praised him for his kindness.

Yang Yan had no choice but to deal with them for a few words. When he looked up again, he found that Shaoyang Ji was no longer where he was. Knowing that he must be preparing to have an attack, he whispered a few words to his mother and then led the people out of the mourning hall.

Most of the people in the palace are now concentrated in the mourning hall. Compared with the bright lights inside and the constant stream of crying, the silence outside is too quiet. If you walk alone in it, you will have to be scared if you have little mental endurance. No matter what.

"Your Highness." Not far from Fang leaving the mourning hall, a person walked out of the darkness and knelt in front of him.

"Get up, how's it going?" Yang Yan asked calmly.

"Returning to Your Highness," the man reported, "I have already opened Donghua Gate and are now heading to Zhaode Gate. I just saw that the second prince has joined them."

Yang Yan nodded and said: "According to Chuan Gu's order, capture the traitors in the Imperial Guard, close the Donghua Gate and Zhaode Gate, and let's catch turtles in a jar."

"Yes." The man followed the order and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

Yang Yan was not in a hurry, and turned around and went to Xianzhuang Palace. He asked someone to carry the neatly dressed emperor, and planned to take him with him to see with his own eyes who was plotting rebellion, lest he would suspect that he was harming him all day long.

He didn't mind that much, he just felt aggrieved by the original owner. The child truly respected and loved his father. How sad would it be if he knew that he was so suspicious of him?

As for the coffin in the mourning hall, it was naturally empty. Although Emperor Zhengrui agreed to falsely report the death, he was not big enough to actually go in and lie down.

When the group arrived, a fierce battle was taking place outside Zhaode Gate. Shaoyangji also knew at this time that he had fallen into a trap, but Donghua Gate had been closed, and he had no way out, so he could only fight like crazy to trap the beast.

After several days of treatment, the emperor's body was still unable to move, but his head could move flexibly and he could make vague sounds.

"N-Ji!" Seeing the second son fighting bloody battles under the wall, wearing armor and waving a spear, the emperor's eyes widened and he almost wanted to spit out fire.

Maybe there is a blood connection between father and son. His voice was obviously very small. Only Yang Yan, who was right next to him, could barely hear the killing sound. But Shaoyang Ji, who was more than ten feet away, suddenly He raised his head and looked over.

"Father!" He exclaimed, and then his face became ferocious and twisted, and he shouted angrily, "So you have been lying to me from the beginning to the end!"

His shouts were particularly loud among the shouts of killing that filled the alley. Many rebels turned to look at him, and then followed his line of sight to see the emperor and the prince on the city wall.

The emperor is not dead!

This unexpected news made everyone look at each other, subconsciously stopped the killing in their hands, and retreated to the side of the second prince, leaning on their shoulders.

"Today's matter, I will only kill the culprit. If you abandon your weapons and surrender now, I can let you live!" Yang Yan took the opportunity and said loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone showed hesitation. Now that the emperor is not dead, it is obvious that their plan has been known for a long time. If they continue to fight, they will only die. If what the prince said is not a lie, then this will be their only chance of survival. opportunity.

"Don't believe him!" Shaoyangji was still staring at the two people on the high wall with splitting eyes, but a young general beside him shouted, "Since ancient times, no one has ever been able to escape the crime of rebellion! "

He pointed his spear at the city wall, "He is saying it nicely now, but when you put down your weapons and have no ability to resist at all, you will definitely face strangulation without mercy!"

That person was a descendant of the Xiao family. He knew that as one of the leaders, he would never be spared. The only way to survive was to break out of the siege and escape from the capital. Therefore, he must not let his men be bewitched by the other party. As for what may happen in the future. To the endless pursuit, it is not too late to think about it after escaping this disaster.

"Gu has always been true to his word, and I will not break my promise if I spare your lives." Compared to his hysteria, Yang Yan's tone was much calmer, "It's just that the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. In the future, you need to Work hard all your life to pay for the sins you committed today.”

"But I can guarantee that as long as you abandon your weapons and surrender, this matter will not affect your family."

If he had made extravagant remarks and promised preferential treatment, these people might still be suspicious, but he even told how he would deal with them, which made people believe that he really planned to let them go.

When they heard that surrendering would not affect their families, some people suddenly couldn't hold it anymore. As soon as their hands were loosened, the weapons fell to the ground.

After having the leader, the rebels looked at each other, slowly one after another, and soon the sound of weapons falling to the ground became one.

In the end, except for a few people who were loyal to Shaoyang Ji and had no family burdens, everyone dropped the killing tools in their hands.

"Are you stupid?" Xiao's descendants shouted with red eyes, "How dare you believe such lies?"

"Pick it up, I order you to pick it up!" He raised his spear and pointed it at the nearest rebel and shouted. Seeing that he lowered his head in shame and remained unmoved, he was so angry that he shot him, hitting him in the middle. In his throat.

The rebel covered his neck, making a "ho ho" sound in his throat, and fell down with a look of disbelief on his face.

The descendant of the Xiao family pulled out the tip of the gun, and hot blood spurted out, spraying all over his head and face. He wiped it away casually, and walked towards the next person with the gun in hand.

He looked like an evil ghost from hell. The people around him were so frightened that they all picked up their weapons, but instead of attacking the guards surrounding them, they pointed at him warily to prevent themselves from stepping forward. Following in the footsteps of the rebel just now.

"Kill! Kill!" The descendants of the Xiao family looked crazy, waving their spears and sweeping around them randomly, "Kill the shitty emperor and the prince, support the second prince to the throne, you are all heroes, make the king, prime minister, split Territories are divided!”

"He is crazy..."

Yang Yan heard someone whispering next to him. He raised his voice and promised to the people below: "Capture the leader of the rebels, and his crime will be reduced by one degree."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Shaoyang Ji and the few remaining die-hards suddenly froze, and sure enough, the next moment their original subordinates turned their guns towards them.

The first person to bear the brunt was the descendant of the Xiao family who had gone crazy. He seemed to have not heard the slogans on the city wall and was still shouting and threatening the rebels to attack the city gate. As a result, he was attacked from behind and shot. I felt a chill in my heart, struggled on the ground for only two times, and then quickly and reluctantly died.

"Your Highness..." Shaoyang Ji, the person next to him, smiled bitterly and stood in front of him, "I want to take the first step, but it's a pity that I didn't repay His Highness the Crown Prince's great kindness in the past."

The "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" in his mouth was of course not referring to the current prince, but to the deposed prince Shao Yuqi. Because he was convinced that the second prince was the son of his benefactor, he surrendered to him.

"You don't have to be like this," Shaoyangji closed his eyes hard, "surrender! Shaoyangyan still keeps his promise. You can use my head to receive the reward. In the future, the sky will be high and the sea will be vast, and you won't have to bear the burden of kindness anymore. tired."

"Your Highness!" Several people exclaimed in unison as they had expected it.

Shaoyang Ji had already pulled out the long sword from his waist, placed it across his neck, and wiped it downwards as soon as he closed his eyes.

At the critical moment, an arrow suddenly flew from the city wall and pierced the arm holding the sword before he was about to cut his throat. The iron sword lost its strength and fell to the ground. Shaoyang Ji also saved his life. , there was only a shallow scratch on his neck.

He looked up while holding his injured arm, and saw the prince handing the empty bow to the person next to him.

"Shaoyang Yan! You're going too far!" Shaoyang Ji shouted angrily.

He admitted that he had failed, and he had already been prepared for failure, but now he was not even allowed to die, which was too much!

Yang Yan only glanced at him lightly and ordered loudly: "What I want is to capture him alive."

The rebels no longer hesitated and swarmed forward without giving Shaoyangji a chance to commit suicide. They quickly tied him and several of his men into a ball.

As promised, Yang Yan did not take the lives of the surrendered rebels, but ordered them to be imprisoned first, preparing to arrange for them to do coolies after he ascended the throne.

He has many things he wants to do, but he is worried about the shortage of manpower. These people cannot be wasted in vain.

Shaoyang Ji, who was escorted in front of the two men, was already ashen-faced. He expected that he would not end well. Shaoyang Yan kept him not out of good intentions, but mostly to humiliate him.

But he thought wrong. Yang Yan did have bad intentions in keeping him, but it was not to torture him, but to torment the heroine.

It is impossible to say that the original owner does not hate him, but this kind of hatred is not much.

He also understands the principles of success and failure. For this second emperor brother, he feels more regretful than others. If he was defeated by Shaoyang Ji in an upright manner like in his first life, maybe there would be no Yang. Yan's arrival.

What the original owner really hated was Rong Yinhua. She was so smart that she took advantage of the original owner's trust to harm him. As a result, he died unjustly because of the betrayal. Only when his resentment exploded was he captured by the system, and then he was able to deliver 60% of his soul. Turn things around at the cost of force.

Speaking of which, Shaoyang Ji was quite miserable. He finally succeeded in his rebellion, ascended to the position of emperor, and even married the person he loved to spend his life together.

Just because of a reborn girl who missed him, the throne was in vain, and even his true lover was killed.
