where after M-y you can use M-p/M-n to navigate through the kill ring.

I see, but why we should type M-y at all?  I would like to type
M-p/M-n just after C-y.

Yes, this would be good.  So it could work exactly like `C-s M-p'
in Isearch mode where `M-p' activates the minibuffer.  `C-y M-p'
could do the same.


I strongly oppose it. I've used M-n and M-p for forward-paragraph and backward-paragraph for years and I'm sure many other people use them for other things too. Please, leave M-n and M-p for other things than browsing the kill ring in this manner. There is already many different ways to do this, all on the Emacs Wiki.[1]
