Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2561 Some people cry, some people laugh

Standing in front of the gate of Zhao Guogong's mansion, Changsun Yan was entrusted with the important task of welcoming guests and entertaining old friends. This made him very satisfied, and he straightened his back that usually collapsed.

Although it was raining in the sky, it could not quench the boiling blood in his heart.

For a long time, he has always been an invisible man, and he has become a rather unpopular one among many brothers. When the eldest brother Sun Chong was here, he not only had His Majesty's holy family, but also his father's doting, which can be said to be radiant. Episode [-] Thousands dote on him, and the other brothers can only be reduced to foils.

When the eldest Sun Chong committed the crime of treason and fled to the end of the world, the second son, the eldest Sun Jun, stood out again and was regarded as the heir to the position of Patriarch.Later, for unknown reasons, the eldest son Jun lost his father's favor, while the eldest son, the eldest son Huan, accepted important tasks many times, and was even admitted by his father that he would become the next head of the family.

The eldest Sun Yan has self-knowledge. In terms of identity, he is not comparable to the eldest son Chong and Sun Jun who are both descended from the same lineage but are elder brothers. In terms of ability, he is far inferior to the eldest son Sun Huan. on his head.

Since I can't even rank in the top three in the order of heirs, what else do I need to think about?

Just be obedient and be your own playboy, keep a low profile, don't annoy your father, and don't make your elder brothers feel any threat from you. It's good to live a life full of wealth and splendor.

Contentment is always happy, Chang Sunyan has always been a smart person.

But who would have thought that fate would make a big circle with him and make a big joke...

Changsun Chong committed a serious crime and fled to the end of the world. Although his father said in private that he had obtained grace from His Majesty, allowing him to serve as an in-law in Goguryeo and make meritorious deeds. .

Changsun Jun suddenly lost his father's favor and trust for unknown reasons, and now Changsun Huan has made another catastrophe and committed suicide in front of the house...

After counting and counting, wouldn't he become the most qualified candidate to succeed the Patriarch among the brothers?
I am a direct descendant, and now I am the longest one among the brothers who are qualified to succeed the Patriarch. Hope the best.

Moreover, his father was able to entrust him with the important task of receiving guests, and he had obviously acquiesced in the fact that he would be the successor...

Even though he had never coveted the position of Patriarch, but suddenly one day this big pie fell on his head, Chang Sunyan was still a little dizzy, almost overjoyed.

That is the position of Patriarch!

The patriarch of the eldest grandson family, who is prominent and prosperous in the world, obeys all his promises, and the hereditary title of Duke Zhao...a height that countless people can hardly reach in their lifetime, it seems to me that everything is within reach.

Changsun Yan's heart was hot, but he had to put on a sad look on his face. He frequently greeted the guests who came to express their condolences. He had a kind and thoughtful attitude, and was meticulous in every word and action. He worked hard to create a brand new image of himself.

He just welcomed a guest into the door, and when he came out, he saw a sudden commotion in the carriage parked on the long street in front of the mansion, and there was a faint commotion, Chang Sun Yan frowned, feeling displeased, today is the funeral of the Chang Sun family, yes Who is so ignorant of etiquette to dare to cause trouble?
Really unreasonable!

Holding back his anger, he ordered the servants beside him: "Go and see what's going on, if someone has trouble, you will be beaten with sticks!"

"Here!"

The servant took the order, but before he could walk down the steps, he saw a group of gallant cavalry coming from the other side of the long street, wearing the armored military uniform of Prince Liu, surrounded by a carriage and slowly moving forward Come on, as long as the carriages in front of them give way one after another, this is the source of the commotion.

Chang Sunyan took a closer look, his expression changed immediately, he quickly held down the servant, and he ran down the steps quickly.

At this time, the team of cavalry had already passed through the layers of carriages and came to the door. Chang Sun Yan took three steps in parallel and grabbed the front of the carriage surrounded by the cavalry. , have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The door of the carriage opened, and a servant got out of the carriage first, and lifted the curtain, and then Prince Li Chengqian, dressed in plain clothes and straight, came out of the carriage.

In the past two years, Li Chengqian has paid great attention to his diet. All greasy things are forbidden, and he also exercises regularly. His originally obese figure has lost a lot of weight, and he looks a lot more energetic. It was more convenient, and he walked up to Changsun Yan, put his hand on his shoulder to help him up, and said softly: "This is not the court, cousin, you don't need to be polite."

Changsun Huan was excited and hurriedly said: "Courtesy cannot be broken, Your Highness, please!"

Turning slightly sideways, he led Li Chengqian up the steps and into the gate of the mansion.

The word "cousin" made Chang Sun Yan's heart agitated and he almost couldn't help himself.The Li Tang royal family and the eldest grandson's family are related by marriage, and his aunt is the mother of His Highness the Crown Prince. "Aunt cousin, kiss, break the bones and connect the tendons" is a folk proverb. It can be seen that the aunt cousin is indeed the closest in the world. relatives.

But for a long time, Chang Sunyan's sense of existence was too low. He was shrouded in the light of several brothers. He could even count the few words he had spoken with the prince, and the relationship was even more indifferent. younger brother"?
It can be seen from this that even the crown prince feels that no one other than himself can assume the position of head of the eldest grandson's family. Otherwise, with the crown prince's dignity, why should he be so polite to himself?
Suppressing the agitation in his heart, Changsun Yan ordered the People's University to open the middle door, and then bowed all the way to lead Prince Li Chengqian to the back house.

Li Chengqian first went to the mourning hall to burn a stick of incense. Looking at the mourning hall filled with smoke and the dead body of Changsun Huan covered with a brocade quilt behind the altar altar, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He is about the same age as Chang Sun Chong, and among the sons of the Chang Sun family, Chang Sun Chong has entered the palace the most. The relationship between the two has always been good. Therefore, with resentment in his heart, he planned that the prince accidentally fell off the horse and broke his leg, which almost lost his position as the crown prince, and the eldest Sun Chong is now in exile with a home and cannot return...

The eldest grandson Dan and the eldest grandson Huan passed away due to various reasons, which made Li Chengqian's heart inevitably filled with strange emotions. Could it be that the eldest grandson's family, which used to be the most famous in the world, suffered such a vicious curse? ?
Otherwise, how can it be explained that such a family has gradually come to this point, the outstanding children have been abolished and died one after another, how can the rest of the mediocre people like Changsun Yan survive in a situation surrounded by jackals? Do you have to live in the family business?

I am afraid that once Changsun Wuji dies in the future, the Changsun family will fall into the abyss and never regain the glory of their ancestors...

However, Li Chengqian didn't have much friendship with Changsun Huan, so after feeling a lot of emotion, he packed up his mood and left the mourning hall, and followed Changsun Yan all the way to the place where Changsun Wuji lived.

"Your Highness, my father was seriously ill by accident this morning, and he couldn't leave the cave at this moment, so he couldn't go out to greet him. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

When he arrived at the back house, Changsun Huan repeatedly pleaded guilty.

Li Chengqian waved his hand, shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhao Guo is Gu's uncle, an elder of blood. When your family sent people into the palace to invite the imperial physician in the morning, Gu planned to come to visit my uncle, but he didn't want to be a little late, and then appeared." This kind of tragedy...you don't need to worry about my cousin, we are all a family, why do you need to be polite? You just lead the way and go to visit uncle alone."

His warm words made Chang Sun Yan more and more elated.

This is the crown prince of the country, he is so polite and kind to me, obviously he is very optimistic about my succession as the head of the family in the future, so he wins over him early, although my father never likes to see the crown prince, he has also wanted to appeal to His Majesty several times Depose the prince, but if he can win over himself, after a hundred years from his father, maybe the eldest grandson's family can also stand in the prince's camp, and their strength will definitely increase...

Chang Sunyan led Li Chengqian briskly to the back house, but his heart was already rippling.

It's just that an elder brother died, and my situation has changed drastically without knowing it. It is clear that I should be sad and painful at this moment, but there is a trace of joy in my heart that can't be controlled...

What a sin.

At Changsun Wuji's residence, the family members at the door saw His Highness the Crown Prince approaching, and hurriedly disrespected and stepped aside. Li Chengqian nodded slowly, with a solemn expression, and walked into the hall.

As soon as one foot stepped over the threshold, a mournful cry exploded in his ears, making Li Chengqian tremble in fright.

"Your Highness! The old minister is wronged! I implore Your Highness to make the decision for the old minister, to forgive this grievance, and to comfort my son's spirit in heaven..."
