There are two flowers, one on each branch. After Juezhi Juehui was ordered to leave, Wan Yankang led the remaining row of men and horses, bypassed the gourd valley, ran from the main road, and sure enough, there was nothing to do all the way, and rushed back to Zhongdu before the sunset closed the city.

"Lord Wang, the prince is back! The prince is back! Menzi rushed back after seeing Yan Kang, and immediately entered to report the good news.

Wan Yan Honglie was having dinner, and when he heard that his son had returned, he immediately walked out of the dining room, walked through the corridor, and met Wan Yan Kang, who had not long entered the door.

"Father!"

"Kang'er!"

The two hugged each other happily, and after a while, Wanyan Honglie let go of his arm and pulled his son to the study, while ordering his subordinates to send some food.

"Kang'er, come back so quickly this time, but Makubo's eunuch is forcing you!" Wanyan Honglie closed the door of the study, and immediately his face became gloomy.

As the saying goes, the mother is more valuable than the son, and so is the father. Wanyan Honglie, His Royal Highness King Zhao, because Wanyan Kang, the imperial grandson, is outstanding among his peers, and he has the upper hand in the battle for the throne.

It's a pity that success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also Xiao He!

With the fact that Bao Xi was weak, the saying that Wanyan Kang was not Wanyan Honglie's blood and blood became loud, the old emperor's attitude changed sharply, and many neutral princes and ministers also began to get close to Wanyan Hongyan, the king of Yan.

Every time he entered the palace to meet him, the attitude of several big eunuchs in the palace towards Wanyan Honglie made His Royal Highness King Zhao keenly feel it.

The situation is worrying!

Although Wan Yan Kang has not been in the capital for a long time, he is very familiar with the major events in the capital and the situation of Wan Yan Honglie, and he smiled faintly: "Father, if the child does not want to return to Beijing, how can he be forced by a eunuch." ”

As he spoke, he took Yan Honglie's hand again: "The child misses his father." ”

Wanyan Honglie pointed in the direction of the palace and said softly: "You came back today with great fanfare, and the palace is bound to go, what should I do?" ”

He knew that although Wan Yan Jing did not say it explicitly, all kinds of signs showed that the emperor Lao'er had already believed the rumors for seven or eight points, and he was only waiting to catch Yan Kang to confess his relatives in blood to prove the truth.

Wan Yan Kang knew what Wan Yan Honglie meant, but he had no worries, there were only two ways to verify the parent-child relationship in this era, blood recognition and human observation.

The method of observing people is to judge whether father and son are similar with the naked eye, but this method is not reliable. Between biological father and son, there are also people who don't look like each other, and in the vast sea of people, it is not uncommon for two strangers to look similar.

Dripping blood to recognize relatives, at the moment, is the ultimate means of recognition.

There are two methods of dripping blood to recognize relatives: one is called dripping bone method, and the other is called blood combination.

The bone drip method refers to the blood of a living person being dropped on the bones of a dead person to observe whether the blood has penetrated, and if it can penetrate, it means that there is a blood relationship between parents, children, brothers, etc. This method was recorded as early as the Three Kingdoms period, and after the death of some elders, the so-called illegitimate children came to the door to recognize their relatives, and they usually used this method to verify.

There is a rather bizarre and cruel story in history, Wu Shuyuan, the mother of Xiao Zong, the son of Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang Wu of the Southern Dynasty, was originally the concubine of the Marquis of Qi Palace, because of her beauty and talent, she was favored by Emperor Wu and included in the palace, and Wu Shuyuan gave birth to Xiao Zong in July after entering the palace. The palace suspected that Xiao Zong was not born to Emperor Wu, and when Xiao Zong grew up, he went to dig up the grave of the Marquis of Dongdu, dug out the bones, and dripped his own blood on the bones, seeing that he could really penetrate into the bones. Xiao Zong was suspicious, and then killed his own son, and used his own blood to test on his son's bones, and the blood could still penetrate into the bones, so he was convinced. Later, Xiao Zong defected to the Northern Wei Dynasty, changed his name to Xiao Zhang, and said that he would mourn for the Marquis of Dongwu for three years.

Relatively speaking, the dripping bone method requires digging graves and extracting bones, or killing young children, and the simple and easy method of combining blood came into being.

When both parties are alive, the blood pricked by the two people is dropped in the vessel to see if it is coagulated, and if it is coagulated, it means that there is a parent-child brotherhood.

Wan Yan Honglie knew that Wan Yan Kang was not from his own, and he was worried in his heart. But Wan Yankang knew from the scientific experience of later generations that as long as it was a person, it could be fused if the blood was dropped together.

"Father, let's test it first." After speaking, Wan Yankang took a water cup and filled half a cup of water, and took a needle and pricked it in each arm.

Two drops of blood dripped into the glass of water and quickly blended together, and there was no more of each other.

Wanyan Honglie looked at the scene in front of him, dumbfounded, and only came back to his senses after a while, pointed to the water cup and said, "Why?" Why ......"

He couldn't say what he said later, why the two were not biological father and son, and their blood could blend. Wan Yankang naturally didn't think about giving him the reason for popularizing science, he first poured the blood and water in the cup into the potted plants in the room, then sat back in place, and said happily: "This is the will of God!" ”

At this time, the servant knocked on the door of the room, indicating that the food had been delivered. Wan Yan Kang saw that Yan Honglie was still in a daze, so he stepped forward to open the door, took the two food boxes, and immediately closed the door.

Wanyan Honglie came back to his senses, grabbed Wanyan Kang's hand, nodded heavily, and said, "Kang'er, you and I are right, you and my father and son, it is really the will of God!" ”

The next day, before dawn, without waiting for the summons, Wanyan Honglie and Wanyan Kang went to the palace together to see the emperor.

After bowing, Wan Yankang took the initiative to mention: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson has heard some rumors in Beijing recently, and my grandson please ban rumors!" ”

Wan Yanjing pretended to be generous: "There are some rumors, why should my grandson care." ”

Wan Yankang feigned anger: "Isn't the emperor's grandfather not believing it!" He didn't wait for Yan Jing to finish speaking, so he took the initiative to mention that he wanted to drop blood for relatives.

Wan Yan Jing deliberately politely said that he ordered someone to bring the blood test utensils that had been prepared for a long time.

Wan Yan Honglie and Wan Yan Kang each pricked their fingers with silver needles and dripped them into the water cup.

Looking at the blood blended together in the water glass, Wan Yanjing's expression was inexplicably enriched, and various expressions such as surprise, joy, and anger continued to alternate on his face.

Wan Yankang saw that the old emperor still didn't seem to be convinced, so he said loudly: "Grandpa Huang, it's better for our grandfather and grandson to drop a drop." ”

Before Yan Jing could speak, the attendant eunuch on the side scolded: "Bold, the body of ten thousand gold, how can you break the body and see blood!" ”

Wan Yan Jing waved his hand, thinking in his heart, Wan Yan Honglie is his blood and bones, there is no doubt about this. Before Bao's "violent death", all kinds of rumors flowed out, and Wan Yankang has been avoiding retreating into the palace, so he can't help but suspect him many times.

At this moment, the blood dripping method dispelled the old emperor's suspicions, and his gaze turned to the faces of Wan Yan Honglie and Wan Yan Kang, and repeatedly looked at the faces of the two.

Heavenly fullness.

The nose is equally tall and straight.

The eyebrows and eyes also seem to be carved out of a mold.

After a while, Wan Yan Jing let out a sigh of relief and beckoned to Wan Yan Kang: "Kang'er, sit next to the emperor's grandfather." ”

After speaking, he announced the decree and summoned Yan Yongji and other princes and ministers to the main hall to discuss matters.

Wan Yankang consciously moved a small bench, sat next to Wan Yanjing, and tried to pretend to be the cute appearance that his grandson should have.

Wan Yanjing touched his head and said kindly: "Kang'er, you have been wronged!" ”

Wan Yankang smiled heartily: "A little rumor, what's the matter!" With that, he stood up and took the initiative to massage Yan Jing's shoulders and neck.

If it was before the blood was recognized, Wan Yan Jing would never let Wan Yan Kang do this, at this time he put his mind at ease and signaled not to worry.

Wan Yan Kang's massage techniques have long been exercised on Wan Yan Honglie and Bao Xiqiao, plus his internal strength is profound, and the strength is in place.

After a while, Wan Yan Jing's whole body was crispy and he moaned comfortably.

After Yan Jing enjoyed a round of the emperor's grandson's loving massage, he looked at Wan Yan Kang's expression with a little more love.

Knowledgeable, outstanding martial arts, and commendable filial piety.

Such a royal grandson, but it's hard to find a lantern!

"Kang'er, the north has won the battle, the overall situation is stable, don't run around recently, accompany your grandfather in Beijing to read and write!"

The title changed from imperial grandfather to grandfather, which means anything unusual here in the old emperor, and Wanyan Honglie immediately understood the meaning. In the minds of His Royal Highness King Zhao, the next few months of Wanyan Kang'an will only need to stay in Zhongdu steadily, and the sky in Zhongdu will change completely.

How do you know that Yan Kang shook his head and said: "Grandpa, now the border trouble is a little safe, but domestic bandits are rampant, and my grandson does not dare to take a break!" ”

"Banditry?" Wan Yan Jing asked in surprise.

After finishing Yankang, he led his troops back to Beijing and talked about the things that were almost in the middle of the gourd valley.

"Seriously!" The emperor was furious and slapped him the dragon chair.

Wan Yankang replied respectfully: "Back to grandpa, these bandits, there are still more than 500 captives, and the grandson has been escorted back to White Horse City as a slave, if grandpa doesn't believe it, you can send someone to verify it at any time!" ”

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, thousands of bandits were ambushed in advance, all of them were well-equipped, who was behind them, Wan Yankang didn't mention anything, but the truth was self-evident.

"Good! Good! Good! Wan Yan Jing said three good words in a row, and his expression became more and more iron.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have arrived." The eunuch in the palace whispered a reminder, which brought Wan Yan Jing back to his senses.

"Hong Lie, Kang'er, you go to the main hall and wait first!"

Wanyan Honglie and Wanyan Kang took the order and left, and after a cup of tea, Wanyan Jing sat on the dragon chair, and everyone knelt on the ground and shouted long live.

"The Qing family is flat!"

"Long live thanks!"

After everyone got up, Wan Yanjing glanced at the first week and motioned to the eunuch to announce the decree.

"Zhao Wang Shizikang, outstanding bravery, specially enlisted the general of Peking University, and the soldiers and horses of all prefectures, prefectures, and counties on Beijing Road are all under his control, and he is here!"

As the soft voice of the eunuch fell, there was an exclamation in the hall, and Wanyan Hongyan stepped forward in two steps, kneeling and saying, "Father, don't do it!" ”

Wan Yanjing asked coldly, "Why not?" ”

Wanyan Hongyan gritted his teeth and said, "This son is not ......"

Before he could speak, Yan Jing shouted: "Shut up!" ”

After seeing Yan Hongyan, he seemed to be unwilling, and then scolded angrily: "Go home and study hard!" ”

Wan Yan Hongyan had never seen the old emperor make such a big fire, and hurriedly retreated first, before he walked out of the main hall gate, he heard Wan Yan Jing throw out a sentence coldly.

"Among the government and the opposition, there are those who criticize Emperor Sun Kang, and they will not be spared!"
