Chang Anqing

Chapter 280 The Battle for Inheritance
Under the dark night, the chariots and horses of Prince Qin's Mansion are passing quietly in Anxingfang. Because Anxingfang and Shengyefang are the gathering places of high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an City, compared with the hustle and bustle nearby, this place is quieter. Much quieter.

But even so, compared to the outside of the car, the inside of the car here is even quieter. Yang Che, who is dressed in normal clothes, sits alone in the car, with much more tranquility than people of the same age, quietly looking at the book in his hand. Vice picture scroll.

Wu Lang's words were still in his ears, but at this moment Yang Che's eyes fell on the woman on the picture scroll, but he felt more and more familiar, and he was more and more sure of her identity.

In the silence, Yang Che slowly closed his eyes, but with a bit of hesitation and struggle with his hands, he pinched and loosened the scroll in his hand, loosened and pinched again, uncharacteristically revealing the uneasiness and entanglement in his heart.

Looking back at the past 17 years, looking back at the bits and pieces of the past 17 years, there is no doubt that Yang Yan is a good brother and his good brother.

Therefore, brothers and sisters in the mansion, no matter whether they are concubine or concubine, are willing to respect him as the eldest brother, and even the domineering Rong An will be as obedient as a sheep in front of him, willing to listen to his teachings.

And as the elder brother of a compatriot, Yang Yan is indeed willing to share all good things with him.

I remember that as a child, as long as it was something he liked, Yang Yan, the elder brother, would give it to him without hesitation, from as small as the last small snack on the plate to as big as Ayed's BMW armor.Even though he could clearly see the reluctance in Yang Yan's eyes when he sent it to him, he was never rejected.

So at that time, he only liked to follow Yang Yan like a tail, and he only liked to be close to Yang Yan. For him, although Yang Jin was also the eldest brother, he was not the same mother after all, and those who were not the same age as them More, at that time Yang Jin had already fought with Aye on the battlefield and became the most proud son in Aye's eyes, but he was still practicing archery in a yard with his brother's company, or Under the cover of my brother's pleading, he fought with other children and made troubles, and even played tricks on Aye in the Fuzhong Academy, the great Confucian master who was invited after three visits to the thatched cottage.

Even if Aye, who was furious for this, wanted to punish him, Yang Yan would be the first to stop Aye's hand holding the whip, willing to accompany him to copy books and kneel with him.

In the memory of that time, Yang Yan seemed to be born with such a gentle and smiling appearance, as if a ray of light in the morning had also warmed him and his heart.

But when did all of this start to change.

Perhaps it was when Yang Yan gave him the last cake, and was praised by A Niang as the elder brother of a friendly brother; perhaps it was because the great Confucian masters in the academy all praised Yang Yan for being smart and studious, with both civil and military skills, and a benevolent spirit Or, in A Niang's eyes, she gradually saw that she had different expectations for Yang Yan from her own.

At that time, he gradually realized that he never got the real attention of Aye and A Niang from the beginning to the end.

It turned out that he was doomed since he was born, but because he was too late, he could only live under the aura of Yang Jin and Yang Yan forever.

Yang Jin's heroism and fighting skills, and Yang Yan's kindness and generosity, unknowingly gathered people around them who were willing to support them.

But he only has the so-called noble status of the second son, like a luminous shadow, no matter how dazzling it is, it will only be reduced to a foil, and no one will really set their eyes on him.

From then on, he made up his mind to study hard and practice martial arts. He only thought that when he could beat Erlang in writing and Dalang in martial arts, he would be the one praised by the world, and truly become the most impressive man in the Taiwei's mansion. The proud son of Aye.

As a real Yang family, not a dispensable shadow.

But when that day really came, when everyone was talking and praising each other in the academy, and they were amazed by the great Confucian masters, everything seemed to have changed, but nothing seemed to have changed.

Although Aye also praised him, he was never willing to take him on the expedition, to train him, and to train him personally, as he did to Dalang.

Although A Niang also praised him, she never planned for him all the time, prepared for him all the time, and never chose Aman as his wife when Aman entered the Taiwei's mansion to spend day and night with them.

And all of this is just because A Niang knows the great support behind A Man, and the deep-rooted literati foundation of the family.

As far as A Niang is concerned, Yang Yan is the eldest son, the son who is truly qualified to occupy a high position, glorify the Li family, and continue the prosperity and wealth of the Li family.

Therefore, only Ah Man is worthy, and can truly give Yang Yan a powerful support, so that she can feel at ease after a hundred years.

But in those plans, he has never been A Niang's choice, no matter how hard he works, no matter how much he is praised, even if he has no less affection for A Man's childhood sweetheart than Yang Yan.

Neither deserves to have--

Thinking of this, Yang Che suddenly chuckled, opened his eyes, but the night when he begged A Niang to marry A Man came to mind bit by bit.

So what did he get in these 17 years?
What else can he rely on?
He never got Aye Niang's true love, nor did he get half of their reliance.

In their eyes, no matter what he is from beginning to end, he is only worthy of an idle Changping Township, Duke of Yanmen County, and the current idle King Qin.

There is no need for lofty ideals or lofty aspirations, just to be a so-called brother who will enjoy the glory and wealth, and will be Yang Jin, or Yang Yan, who will assist the community and guard the frontier in the future.

But why—

Why was he the one who sacrificed!

It was he who gave up!
In the silence, unbearable resentment and resentment stuck in Yang Che's heart like a flame, and his throat gradually melted into hot wax, wrapping his heart bit by bit, stagnating his throat, and he was so stuffy that his chest gradually melted away. Ups and downs, irrepressible.

Thinking of Yang Yan wearing the crown prince's dragon suit and Aye walking aloofly today while everyone was bowing their heads, even brothers like them had to bow their heads to pay homage, thinking of Yang Yan surrounded by all the ministers taking turns toasting, the supremely noble Yang Yan.

Yang Che couldn't restrain the layers of jealousy and unwillingness accumulated in his heart. Those things were like thorny vines pricking his blood.

Why is he the same son, the same their child, the same heir, and the same noble blood, but he has to be like a waste like Yang Zhen, who can't have a man's ambition, can't guide the world, and can't have the slightest desire for that seat!
A benevolent king is needed to rule the world, and heroes come out of troubled times.

Today's world is in troubled times, why does A Niang think that Yang Yan has the ability to inherit the country and rule the world?
In this world, there is no man who is willing to be a foil for others, let alone the Yang family who were born with the blood of treason.

Since no one is optimistic about him, and no one gives him half a reliance, then he will be his own reliance.

He is willing to take responsibility for success and failure, regardless of the cause and effect, and he is absolutely unwilling not to try hard for the rest of his life, but choose to be inferior to others, and live this so-called rich life in mediocrity.

Thinking of this, Yang Che tightly gripped the scroll in his hand, looking at the woman in the painting, his eyes gradually became cold and heartless like sinking pools.

He will use his actions to prove to Aye and Aniang, and to the people of the world, whether this troubled world can be governed only by gentle and benevolent governance.

Will the benevolent and generous Yang Yan be able to sit safely in that seat and become the future king of the world, stretching across the country and the community, and the Li family is rich.

"Brother, I don't want to hurt you, and I don't want to frame you, I just want to see if you can pass this temptation—"

In the silence, Yang Yan murmured, and just as he was rewinding the scroll bit by bit, the voice of his confidant Si Nan sounded in his ears.

"Mr. Lang, we're here."

Hearing this, Yang Che lifted the curtain and walked out, until he entered the palace study, he said: "Go and find out in private, when the Crown Princess accompanied Ah Man to the palace to accompany Elder Sister, did she ever encounter—— "

The words stopped abruptly as if he heard them, Si Nan raised his head in surprise, but saw Yang Che frowned slightly, but then waved his hands and said: "Forget it, step back, the words just now rotted in my stomach."

Regarding Yang Che, who said nothing, Si Nan didn't dare to ask more questions, so he retreated obediently, leaving Yang Che alone in the study, standing there for a long time.

Although it is only a guess, it is not easy to obtain.

One more person who knows, one more action, I'm afraid they will startle the snake.

Thinking of the fleeting opportunity, Yang Che finally decided to take a gamble.

Whether it's true or not, just try it out.

In this room, Li Sui, who heard Nian Nu's report of his whereabouts, frowned slightly and said, "A painting?"

Yang Zhao invited Yang Che over to the house late at night, but he only gave him a painting?

For some reason, Li Sui always felt that things were a little unclear.

Is it really the rare artyness of the two brothers, or is there something else hidden——

"But there are still changes?"

Hearing Li Sui's question, Yu Nu shook his head in embarrassment and said, "The King of Qin and the King of Shu didn't do anything other than talk and send paintings, not even the people in the mansion—"

In the silence, Li Suijing pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Then keep an eye on it, and don't let go of any details, including what they saw and did."
