King Gong is the most beloved son of the first emperor, born to the most favored princess, ranked sixth, second in age to Emperor Wanhua, older than King Jin, and is considered the most promising prince to inherit the throne before the first emperor established the crown prince.

Back then, whether it was from the status of his maternal grandfather's family, his connections in the court, his talents, the favored Cheng Dù and other aspects, King Gong was the best candidate for the crown prince, but to everyone's surprise, the first emperor did not set up the most beloved child as the prince, but set up the three princes who were not so conspicuous that year, that is, the current Wanhua Emperor as the crown prince.

The twists and turns in it are naturally not something that can be explained in one or two sentences, and look at the present.

Since the Meng clan made a big fuss in the Jin Palace, telling An Ruolan's life experience, the quarrel above the court has not stopped, and the hundred officials have been arguing about it, and even the matter of sending Jiedu envoys to manage Hengji Island has also been affected.

Emperor Wanhua belonged to the King of Jin, but the King of Jin was impeached by the imperial history again and again, and the hundred officials jointly wrote a letter on the grounds that the King of Jin was suspected of confusing the royal bloodline, opposing Emperor Wanhua to send the King of Jin as the envoy of the festival.

It is said that the King of Jin has lost his virtue, but in fact, it is implying that the King of Jin has two hearts, so as to provoke the brotherly feelings of Emperor Wanhua and King Jin.

And as the dispute intensified, there was also a voice recommending King Gong as the envoy of the festival, and this voice became more and more numerous, Rao is Emperor Wanhua had already expected, and he couldn't help but be depressed.

After a period of time, the people who supported the King of Jin were suppressed everywhere, but the number of people in King Gong increased, when the situation was almost about to be one-sided, Zhou Yuhan, who had always remained neutral, stood up and said: "Whether it is the life experience of the Lord of Chenshuang County, or the election of the Jiedu envoy of Hengji Island, it is not a trivial matter, and now everyone can't reach an agreement, mainly because there are still doubts about the life experience of the Lord of Chenshuang County, if it goes on like this, it will only be a waste of time, and I am afraid that when the army returns victoriously, it will not be able to reach a conclusion. This will chill the soldiers' hearts. ”

The neutrals like Zhou Yuhan echoed and said, "What Lord Zhou said is reasonable. ”

Emperor Wanhua didn't have the slightest affection in his eyes, and said: "In this way, Aiqing has a way?" ”

"This ......" Zhou Yuhan pretended to hesitate and arched his hand: "The minister has a bold way, I am afraid that it will offend the royal majesty." ”

"Tell me, I forgive you for your innocence." Emperor Wanhua waved his hand.

Zhou Yu bowed his hand to thank him, his tone was sonorous and powerful, and said: "Please ask the King of Jin and the Lord of Chengshuang County to be on the top of the main hall, and the blood of the hundred officials will be recognized, so that the life experience of the Lord of Chenshuang County will be revealed, and there will be no longer any delay in the election of the Jiedu Envoy." ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately won the approval of all officials, and everyone said in unison: "This is very good." ”

King Gong lightly swept over Zhou Yuhan, who was unashamed, and his brows furrowed slightly, he never saw through this man.

is obviously a celebrity around Zhao Kuang, but he has always remained neutral, neither following Zhao Kuang's footsteps in everything, nor paying attention to his many hints to win over, what is this Zhou Yuhan's mind?

Frowning slightly, King Gong smiled in an outsider's tone: "Lord Zhou's construction is very good, endless quarrels are just a waste of time, whether what An Mengshi said is true or false, you will know if you try it." ”

He raised his eyebrows and squinted at King Jin opposite, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, dare to give it a try?" ”

King Jin replied to him with a cold look, and said with a silent face: "Why don't you dare?" ”

"Good." King Gong hooked his lips and smiled, and bowed his hand to Emperor Wanhua: "Please also set a date for Your Majesty and find out the truth as soon as possible!" ”

Emperor Wanhua pursed his lips and was silent, his gaze slowly swept over everyone, and he raised his hand and said: "Decree, it is scheduled to be on the ninth day of the next month, and the King of Jin and the main hall of Chenshuang County will be dripping blood to analyze their life experiences!" ”

The officials were frightened and hung their heads silently.

King Gong arched his hand again and said: "Your Majesty, since the King of Jin has agreed to recognize his relatives by blood, the minister thinks that the left and right sides must prepare arrangements, so it is better to let Lord An Shi Yan'an also give it a try." ”

As soon as the words fell, King Jin shouted angrily: "What do you mean by this?!" ”

King Gong hooked his lips and smiled: "This king just thinks that the Meng clan has both lost his mind and behaved inappropriately, maybe the identity of the county lord of Chenshuang is more complicated." ”

This is an insult, an insult to Chiguoguo.

This is also a temptation, King Gong is actually not sure about An Ruolan's life experience, he needs to get more news from King Jin's reaction.

How could King Jin not know King Gong's intentions? Even if he gritted his teeth with hatred, he could only clench his hands hidden in his sleeves and prevent his appearance from revealing flaws.

Wei Guogong, who was unusually quiet in the early dynasty during this time, suddenly spoke, "Since His Royal Highness King Gong also thinks that An Meng's family has lost his mind, then why should he believe what a madman said? ”

King Gong choked and was speechless.

He didn't say anything, someone defended him, and said sharply: "What does Wei Guogong mean by this? Could it be that you suspect His Royal Highness King Gong's bad intentions?! ”

"I didn't say that." Wei Guogong shrugged his shoulders innocently, and the meaning of ridicule was fully revealed.

The ministers who supported King Jin couldn't help but snicker in a low voice.

The so-called don't admit yourself, the more you depict it, the darker it becomes, it's talking about this strong minister.

King Gong's face darkened.

The minister who defended King Gong knew that he had lost his words, and immediately wanted to remedy it, but saw that King Gong's face was cold, and he was busy and retreated.

King Gong secretly scolded a fool, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said solemnly: "Spit out the truth after drinking, crazy words may not be credible, you know, crazy people will not lie." ”

Wei Guogong just smiled indifferently.

Although Wei Guogong was looked down upon by many officials in the court, his words inspired everyone, and those who defended the King of Jin immediately seized this point, insinuating that King Gong and his faction had ill intentions, and the two sides had to fight again, while Zhou Yuhan and other neutrals still watched the fire from the other side, and remained motionless.

In the end, Emperor Wanhua angrily reprimanded: "Every day is to quarrel over such trivial things, I will one day be so noisy that you dare not come to the court!" Retreat! "Throw your sleeves away.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The officials hurriedly knelt down and shouted.

Because of the progress of the controversy, everyone seemed very happy and relaxed after retreating.

As soon as he stepped out of the main hall, Zhou Yuhan was stopped, and when he heard that Emperor Wanhua was looking for him, even if he knew that there was no good thing, he obediently followed the little eunuch who passed the word to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

As soon as he stepped into the threshold, the door of the palace was closed, and Zhou Yuhan found that King Jin and Wei Guogong were also there, and he had a faint feeling in his heart.

Before he could bow his head and salute, Emperor Wanhua fell over with a teacup and shouted angrily: "How did you promise me before? Must stop King Gong? Then you just came up with such a stupid idea! You say, were you bought by King Gong? Or are you originally a fine work sent by King Gong?! ”

Zhou Yuhan wiped a cold sweat, fortunately he practiced some fists and kicks, otherwise his head would be bleeding.

Busy is to explain: "Your Majesty is angry, and Weichen is also forced to do so." ”

"Humph!" Emperor Wanhua snorted coldly, "What a last resort!" Then he pointed at the king of Jin angrily and scolded: "What are you doing to make a scene? Let you drop blood and recognize your relatives, you will drop? Your dignity and backbone! Don't tell me anything, you're forced to do it! ”

King Jin sneered and said, "The younger brother is indeed forced to do so. Saying that, he exchanged a sympathetic look with Zhou Yuhan.

Emperor Wanhua saw the signs, his anger subsided a little, and said, "If you can't give me a last resort, Ming'er doesn't have to come to the court." ”

Hearing this, King Jin and Zhou Yuhan glanced at each other, and said in unison: "On the ninth day of the next month, Your Majesty will understand the reason." ”

"You-!" Emperor Wanhua blew his beard and glared, but he had no choice but to turn to Wei Guogong and order viciously: "Give me a good lesson and teach them a lesson, don't beat them so that their wives don't recognize them, don't stop!" ”

Wei Guogong touched his nose and said: "Your Majesty, don't embarrass the minister, my young master just returned home not long ago, asking me to prepare a dowry for him, you want me to beat the future father-in-law now, don't bring such a bad person to marry." ”

Hearing this, King Jin looked at Wei Guogong in shock.

Emperor Wanhua almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, slapped the table and roared: "Roll the calf!" "I was so angry that I burst out all the foul language I learned during the training in the barracks.

In the end, King Jin, Zhou Yuhan and Wei Guogong were blasted out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Emperor Wanhua sulked to himself, but the three people who were driven out went to drink morning tea together.

Some people say that the King of Jin is so awe-inspiring, he must be innocent, and some people say that this is the King of Jin is playing tricks, there must be a conspiracy, and naturally there are also people who are purely happy to watch the show.

No matter what it is, it is indispensable to manipulate it behind the scenes, not to mention the gossip outside, everyone in the Wenxin Marquis Mansion is very worried.

Mrs. An had mentioned the Murong family's concubines before, but before the incident, the Murong family didn't understand the deep meaning behind it, but now they understand, but they would rather not understand anything.

From her mother-in-law's words, they realized that Sister Lan was not the bloodline of the Wenxin Hou Mansion, and this secret was related to their life and death, and even the survival of the entire Hou Mansion.

After learning that they were going to confess their relatives with blood, the Murong family became very uneasy, and after discussing with the four concubines, they decided to go to their mother-in-law to find peace of mind.

Mrs. An was still calm, and in the face of her flustered daughter-in-law, she said indifferently: "You don't need to care about so much, just remember that Sister Lan is the bloodline of our Hou Mansion." You should know that it is a capital offense to possess the royal bloodline, and to adopt the royal bloodline without knowing it, even if you are guilty, there is still a way to live. ”

The old lady is reminding them of the difference between active acknowledgment and passive debunking.

Pretending not to know, even if it is exposed, the worst result is that Wufang is questioned, and although other people in the Hou Mansion will also be affected, at least their lives can still be saved.

The four concubines are not stupid people, they immediately came to their senses, and even claimed that An Ruolan was the bloodline of the An family, and the more they said it, the more down-to-earth their hearts became.

However, there are also people who only care about themselves and don't care about the safety of the Hou Mansion.

Fourth Master An secretly took refuge in King Gong at this moment of crisis, and he kept asking the fourth lady about the backyard, mainly about An Ruolan, especially about An Ruolan's birth, fortunately, the fourth lady had already been beaten by Mrs. An, and she didn't dare to confide in her husband, and every time she said that she was not close and didn't understand.

An Siye found nothing.

When the first snow fell, Hengji Island sent a report that the war had entered the final finishing touches, and the day of blood recognition had arrived. R1152
