My older brother said I'm invincible.

Chapter 234 Nursery Rhyme
When Yang Guang told An Jiatuo about Pan Dan's prophecy, An Jiatuo's expression changed drastically.

He began to calculate right in front of Yang Guang.

Yang Guang saw that his expression was extremely solemn.

Suddenly, Anga Tuo trembled all over, shaking as he looked at Yang Guang in terror.

"What happened?"

"Your Majesty, I do not know how to explain this matter to you. I request that the entourage be left here, and Your Majesty personally select a few warriors, change into ordinary clothes, and accompany me to a nearby city. Any city will do."

Yang Guang was completely bewildered. "What are we going into the city for? And in plain clothes no less??"

"Your Majesty, this matter is of utmost importance, involving the entire nation. I beg Your Majesty's permission!! If this matter is not resolved, I deserve the death penalty!!"

Angatha began to kowtow.

Yang Guang was somewhat bewildered by his actions. After pondering for a long time, he said, "There are many people who want to harm me. If I am to go out, I need a large number of guards to accompany me."

"If Your Majesty is worried, you can have the warriors disguised and follow around without being noticed."

Yang Guang loved to travel, but he disliked traveling incognito, as it was too dangerous. Clearly, Emperor Guang probably knew what the areas under his rule were like—whether they were peaceful and prosperous or rife with bandits.

Angatha's words made him hesitate for a long time, but he finally agreed.

Anga did not specify which city it was, leaving it to Yang Guang to decide. Yang Guang then ordered that they go to Chaona City.

The warriors set off ahead of time and lay in ambush in various places. Yuwen Shiji was in charge of the entire travel plan. Yuwen Shiji strongly disagreed with the emperor taking risks and tried to persuade him several times, but the emperor insisted on doing it. He had no choice but to do his best to ensure the emperor's safety.

For the first time, without so many people around, Yang Guang, dressed in ordinary clothes, took Anga Tuo with him and walked on the ground.

This surprised Yang Guang.

He had forgotten when was the last time he walked the streets in casual clothes.

They entered through the city gate, and Yang Guang looked around curiously.

Regardless of the outcome, the strange feeling he was experiencing at that moment made Yang Guang feel that the trip was well worth it.

He seemed to be recalling many years ago, a strange smile in his eyes.

Just then, a nursery rhyme drifted from the roadside.

"Those who cultivate peaches and plums will gain the world."

"Willow catkins fall, plum blossoms bloom~"

There were several children by the roadside, jumping and playing games.

In that instant, Yang Guang's expression could no longer remain calm. His eyes widened, revealing a surge of anger, and he suddenly grabbed An Jiatuo beside him, demanding, "Who told you to do this?!"

"Who?!"

Warriors rushed in from all directions, and the people along the way fled in terror. In a short while, Yang Guang was surrounded by warriors. Yang Guang was furious, and his hand gripped Anga Tuo's sleeve tightly.

Angatha, however, was not afraid at all.

"Does Your Majesty not believe in nursery rhymes?"

"Since ancient times, nursery rhymes have been believed to foreshadow divine will; how could this be something that humans could do?"

Yang Guang and An Jiatuo stared at each other for a long time before Yang Guang finally released him. "You brought me here just to hear this nursery rhyme?"

"Your Majesty, the will of Heaven is uncertain."

"Nursery rhymes are proof of this."

"This prophecy means that a new ruler will emerge in the world, the one who upholds justice will fall, and a traitor will rise on his foundation."

"Your Majesty should be cautious!!"

Anga Tuo bowed again, and Yang Guang, panting, looked on in astonishment.

Shang Yicheng.

Inside a large mansion in the city, warriors were coming and going.

Yang Xuangan sat obediently to the side, holding the medicine.

Yang Yue sat down in front of him. Yang Yue was wearing thick clothes and his face was pale. There were many letters and writing materials beside him.

“Pan Dan sent a reply; Anga Tuo has succeeded.” Yang Yue said, then glanced at Yang Xuangan, “The trouble you caused can be brought to a slight halt.”

Yang Xuangan's eyes were full of admiration. "Uncle, I didn't expect you to have connections with them."

"Hehehe, Pan Dan is the one I introduced to the emperor."

"As for Anga Tuo, he has lived in Guanzhong for many years and is known to many people. His father was a merchant from the Central Plains who married a woman from there and had him. When he was young, he did business with his father, but he cheated and offended many people. Later, he called himself a Xuanshi. He loves money more than anything and will do anything for money."

"With the cooperation of these two, and the spread of the nursery rhymes, this first step can be considered a success."

Yang Xuangan nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

"what's next?"

"Next up is Yang Wang."

"Yang Wang is not someone to be trifled with."

"You sent someone to assassinate him, and he wrote me a letter to inform me. Do you know why?"

"why?"

"This is telling me that my brother's kindness has come to an end, and he is going to kill you."

"If I'm not mistaken, his impeachment is already on its way. It certainly won't be about your assassination attempt; it'll probably be accusations of treason."

"rebellion??"

Yang Xuangan was taken aback and almost couldn't sit still. Seeing Yang Xuangan's panic, Yang Yue became even angrier, "What are you afraid of?!"

"His Majesty is already dissatisfied with me, so if there is such an impeachment..."

"If this first step is successful, there's no need to panic. The second step is to get more people to impeach you, including yourself. I will mobilize all of Yang's old subordinates and friends to impeach you."

Yang Xuangan seemed to be deep in thought. He knew that his uncle would not harm him, and decided not to ask any more questions.

"So what should I do?"

"Stop doing anything, you've done enough."

"uncle."

"Go back, go back to Daxing, and wait for the emperor to return and deal with you. Remember, no matter what happens, don't panic. Even if the emperor orders your execution, don't panic, don't say anything, and don't do anything."

"Here!!"

After seeing Yang Xuangan off, Yang Yue started coughing again.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he trembled as he wiped it away.

Ever since the accident when he was young, the world has been cold to him. Only his older brother has been the one to protect him. When others humiliate and bully him, only his older brother stands up for him. When everyone else looks down on him, only his older brother is willing to believe in him.
Now, his all-powerful elder brother is gone, and his health has deteriorated. He is not afraid of death; he can't wait to see his elder brother again.

However, the matter of this brat in the family still needs to be resolved.

Otherwise, how could I face my elder brother?
Yang Yue wiped the blood from his mouth, then called his men in and began to give them instructions.

Yang Guang was still walking forward.

During these days, Yang Guang was restless and uneasy.

Yu Shiji presented Yang Guang with one impeachment memorial after another. At first, when Yang Guang saw Yang Wang's impeachment of Yang Xuangan for treason, saying that there were serious problems with the promotion of officials, Yang Guang was somewhat surprised and wanted to send someone to arrest Yang Xuangan directly. However, more and more impeachments came to Yang Guang, and those impeachments were all kinds of strange.

Some say Yang Xuangan was corrupt, some say he colluded with foreign enemies, some say he seized women, and some say he overstepped his bounds.
Seeing so many people impeaching Yang Xuangan, Yang Guang hesitated, unsure of what to do.

This left him somewhat confused.

Until Yang Xuangan's own memorial reached the emperor.

Yang Xuangan's attitude in his memorial was very sincere. He first inquired about the emperor's health and then talked about his own affairs.

In his memorial, Yang Xuangan mentioned the assassination attempt on Yang Wang and admitted that he had conflicts with Yang Wang and his associates. He also admitted that he had offended many people over the years and failed to carry on his father's legacy. However, he claimed that he did not send anyone to do the assassination of Yang Wang, so how could Yang Wang possibly murder his enemy?
He concluded by saying that no matter what, it was his fault. As the Minister of Rites, he had acted impulsively. Even his father's former subordinates suspected him of being the murderer and wrote to his elders about it, which angered them so much that they severed ties with him. Yang Xuangan was extremely distressed by this and only begged the emperor to grant him the death penalty. He had nothing else to say.

Yang Guang suddenly found it difficult to act. After hesitating for a long time, he ordered Yuwen Shu to come.

He wanted to see what Yuwen Shu, who was also a nobleman, would think about this matter.
