Chang Anqing

By the time Yang Che left the Lizheng Hall, the sky had already turned white, and the dark blue night had already dyed a large area of ​​the sky, and the sound of chirping insects and frogs could be heard faintly.With heavy steps, Yang Che walked towards the corridor outside the Lizheng Hall without saying a word. Chang Xi, who was accompanying him at the side, saw Yang Che's gloomy complexion, and didn't even dare to vent his breath, so he had to follow along step by step.

Seeing Yang Che leave, Empress Li sat down as if she was extremely tired, looking sideways at Yin Niang who carefully helped her to sit down, Empress Li asked: "Mother and son Liu are still outside? "

Hearing Queen Li's question, Yinniang quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, I have been kneeling outside the hall for several days and nights."

Empress Li snorted coldly when she heard the words, and then said: "Go out and tell them that this matter is over, tell them to go back."

Just as Yinniang was about to go out under orders, she was once again called by Empress Li behind her. When she looked back, she heard Empress Li order again: "Give the ginseng that Goguryeo paid tribute to Mrs. Liu, and tell her to take care of herself and serve you. Your Majesty is."

When Yinniang went out to persuade Liu Jieyu's mother and son away according to the order, when she came back, she met Empress Li's questioning gaze, and hurriedly stepped forward and replied humbly: "Jieyu is very grateful for receiving your reward from Your Highness, servant girl." They have been persuaded to return to the palace."

Empress Li nodded when she heard the words. After receiving the tea from Yinniang, she took a sip, moistened her throat, and said, "When Yang Zhao leaves Chang'an and went to the fiefdom, you will personally send someone to follow and take away what Erlang has received. And make him suffer—"

Yinniang was shocked when she heard the words, and when she looked up, she saw kindness and cruelty in Empress Li's eyes.

"Don't let him go back to Chang'an again."

In just one sentence, it was full of murderous intentions.

Although there is no evidence to prove Yang Zhao's wolf ambitions, as far as Empress Li is concerned, Jiu Ge was rescued by Yang Zhao after all. If it weren't for him, how could Jiu Ge almost kill Erlang with poison.

If this hatred is not avenged, how can she solve the hatred in her heart?
On this side, Yang Chefang walked to the corner at the end of the corridor outside the Lizheng Hall, and saw lights coming towards him from outside the palace gate. When he got closer, he saw that the person who came was Liu Shoucheng, the emperor's personal servant.

"The King of Luoyang—"

Liu Shoucheng came forward and saluted Yang Che respectfully. Yang Che regained his composure and stretched out his hand to help him stand up, saying, "There is no need to salute."

Seeing this, Liu Shoucheng got up, and said in his words with humility as always: "Lord Luoyang, His Majesty summoned you, and is waiting for you at the Zichen Palace."

Hearing Liu Shoucheng's words, Yang Che's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help asking: "Does the internal officer know why Aye called me?"

Liu Shoucheng shook his head with a smile when he heard the words, and his answer was watertight: "Your Majesty's Sacred Heart slaves and servants dare not figure it out."

Seeing that Liu Shoucheng refused to say more, Yang Che didn't dare to hesitate too much, so he could only walk towards the Zichen Palace with Liu Shoucheng's company.

When he arrived at the Zichen Palace, it was already dusk, and after tidying up his appearance, Yang Che walked in alone.

Different from the Lizheng Hall of Empress Li, the ambergris in the Zichen Hall carries the inviolable majesty of the emperor, which always makes people feel awe.

When Yang Che turned around the gate and walked into the inner hall, he saw his father sitting in front of the imperial case reviewing the memorials, looking at the father sitting upright behind the pile of memorials, and his expression that couldn't distinguish between happiness and anger, Yang Che was strong. Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, he walked in.

"Aye."

Hearing Yang Che's voice, Yang Chongyuan stopped the movements of his hands, looked up at him and said calmly, "Here we are."

"Go to see your mother?"

Hearing Yang Chongyuan's inquiry, Yang Che nodded and said, "Yes."

"That's good. Before we leave, we should see each other, so as to ease your mother's heart."

After finishing speaking, Yang Che heard the father in front of him say again: "Come and sit down."

When Yang Che obediently stepped forward and sat down, the hall fell into silence again, and when Yang Che's heart became more and more unclear, he heard his father break the silence.

"We father and son haven't sat together and talked like this for a long time."

Hearing this inaudible emotion, Yang Che suppressed the complexities in his heart, lowered his eyes and said: "Aye is the son of heaven, and he has to work hard for all the people in the world every day, but his son is incompetent and cannot share Aye's worries."

"Sharing worries—"

Yang Chongyuan murmured when he heard the words, then looked thoughtfully at Yang Che in front of him and said, "How will Sanlang share my worries?"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Che's back was stunned, and he looked up and saw his father's unclear gaze in the candlelight, and immediately got up and said: "My son made a slip of the tongue—"

Looking at the humble Yang Che in front of him, Yang Chongyuan smiled suddenly, he didn't seem to be angry, he just stared at him for a long time, and only when he saw him trembling in his heart did he say something that surprised him even more.

"Does Saburo like Ah Man?"

"Aye—"

Seeing Yang Che raised his head in surprise, Yang Chongyuan still looked at him to give him an answer. Seeing this, Yang Che no longer evaded. Instead, he faced his father's scrutiny frankly, and said firmly, "Back to Aye, my son really likes it." Man."

"Aman is from a good background, and her personality is different from that of ordinary little ladies. She is really likable—"

While speaking, Yang Chongyuan gradually put away the smile on his lips, stared quietly at Yang Che and said, "Then do you like these thousands of miles of land?"

Hearing these words, Yang Che's heart was shaken. He raised his head to meet his father's solemn and suffocating eyes, and immediately knelt down in shock: "My son has never coveted him. I beg Aye to learn from me. A word of nine songs——"

"Since you are my Yang family's bloodline and the son of my Yang Chongyuan, you should be brave, why? Sanlang only dares to admit the love between his son and daughter, but he dare not admit what he thinks in his heart?"

Yang Chongyuan interrupted Yang Che's words, and forced him to speak again: "I will ask you again for my father, do you ever want this thousand miles of country and this crown prince?"

The air condensed into ice, and in the dead silence, Yang Che hid his fists under his sleeves and couldn't help clenching. His father's words rang in his ears, as if they were inspiring him over and over again, so that he could no longer suppress the flames that shot up into the sky. aroused desire.

"Son wants to—"

After all, Yang Che suddenly raised his head and looked at Yang Chongyuan. At this moment, Yang Chongyuan saw the undisguised desire and ambition in the deep eyes in front of him, which made him suddenly see his former self.

"My son was born in the Yang family. He is the son of Aye. Since he was a child, he wanted to be a hero like Aye. Elder brother is poor, why do you want to be inferior to others!"

After the words fell, the surroundings fell into silence again. When Yang Che couldn't calm down for a long time, he heard Aye's laughter ringing in his ears.

"it is good--"

Looking up, Yang Che saw satisfaction in his father's eyes: "This is my son, Yang Chongyuan."

In an instant, before Yang Che could recover, Yang Chongyuan stared at him with cold eyes and said in a deep voice, "But in this world, you can't have both, if Ah Man and Jiang Shan you can only choose the same , who do you want to choose and who do you want to abandon?"

"Aye—"

"answer me."

Under his father's undeniable gaze, Yang Che calmed down and said without any hesitation: "My son chooses Jiangshan."

"Then let the father see your determination."

Yang Che's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and he saw his father's eyes staring at him, and said with deep meaning: "Remember, a king must cut off love and love, be ruthless and heartless, so that he has no weakness and is not hindered by others. Not to mention Ah Man, but the Li family, your mother clan, they are all just my Yang family's subjects, just a pawn on our chessboard."

"It is because the prince can't let go of these so-called feelings that he is plotted against everywhere and has no ability to rule the world."

Speaking of this, Yang Chongyuan pointedly said to Yang Che: "I hope you will not let my father down."

At this moment, Yang Che completely understood his father's thoughts, and was even more moved by this thought.

It seems that Yang Yan is not his father's favorite candidate for the crown prince after all.

And he hasn't lost yet.

The painstaking efforts of these years have not been in vain, at least let my father clearly see that among the many brothers today.

Only he, Yang Che, is the most qualified to sit in that seat and continue the glory of the Yang family.

Looking at Yang Che who was deep in thought in front of him, and seeing the burning desire in his eyes, Yang Chongyuan's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

Li's greatest achievement is probably that he raised such an ambitious son like him.

Now that San Lang and the Li family are divorced, as long as San Lang cuts off the so-called blood relationship with the Li family, under his single-handed training, he can become a real emperor.

An emperor who controls the Li family in the palm of his hand, so that he has no worries.

And since he can't attack the Li family, Saburo will become the sharpest knife in his hand in the future.
