Chapter 706: Dripping Blood to Recognize Relatives

Recognize relatives with blood!

Hearing this, Li Mu was relieved. If Eldest Sun Wuji had used this method, he would not have succeeded.

The ancients' blood dripping relatives are roughly divided into two ways, one is called the dripping bone method, and the other is the blood combination method. The so-called bone drop method refers to the blood of a living person is dropped on the bones of a dead person to observe whether it has penetrated, and if it can penetrate, it means that there is a parent-child blood relationship. The blood method corresponds to a living person, and the blood pricked out 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.

In ancient times, there was no DNA testing, so the method of identifying relatives with this drop of blood has always been regarded as a guideline, especially the method of dropping bones.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a person named Xiao Zong. His mother, Wu Shuyuan, was the concubine of the Marquis of Dongdu, beautiful and amorous, was favored by Emperor Wu, was selected to the palace, and gave birth to Xiao Zong in seven months, so many people suspect that he is not his own.

When Xiao Zong grew up, he also doubted it, so he went to dig up his father's grave, dug out the bones, and dripped his own blood on the bones, and the blood immediately seeped into the bones. But his doubts were not dispelled, so he killed his own son, and dripped his own blood on his bones, and seeped into his bones, and there was no doubt anymore.

During the Tang Dynasty, the dripping bone method was the most rigorous, and it was also recognized as the only method to check the parent-child relationship. Compared with the drip bone method, the combined blood method is considered to be only able to determine blood kinship, but not paternity, which is slightly inferior.

But Li Jiancheng has been buried for many years, and even if Li Shimin is no longer a person, it is impossible to dig up the grave. Therefore, this bone method cannot be used, and the second best thing to do is to use the combined blood method. Although the parent-child relationship cannot be determined, as long as it is proved that Li Mu has royal blood, it is very sufficient. Of Li Yuan's three sons-in-law, only Li Shimin remains. And Li Shimin, as the emperor, has strict records of which concubines he has favored, even palace maids, and Li Mu's age is also destined to be Li Shimin's son.

As long as the kinship is confirmed, Li Mu can't explain it by jumping into the Yellow River.

The blood method is very simple, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are siblings of the same mother, needless to say, the kinship is needless to say. All you need to do is take a bowl, and the two of them bite their fingers and drip blood to see if they can fit together.

But in fact, neither the dripping bone method nor the combined blood method have any scientific basis. Whether the bones are kept in the open field or buried in the soil, after a long period of time, the soft tissue is lost, and the bones will ossify, and the surface layer of such bones is often corroded and crispy, and the blood of any person who drip will soak in. However, if the bones are not dried up and there is soft tissue on the surface, the blood of any person will not be infiltrated.

The unscientific nature of the blood method can be explained by the most basic knowledge of blood type.

Generally, there are four types of blood types in people, type A, type B, type AB, type O. The so-called A, B, AB, O, refer to the antigens present in the blood. Anyone who knows a little bit about biology knows that when blood of different blood types fuses, condensation occurs, which is why blood transfusions require a prior blood type. It is extremely unscientific for the ancients to only look at whether the blood is coagulated. If you want to break this statement, it's very simple, just find a few more people to drip blood, no matter what blood type Li Shimin is, find twenty or thirty people to drip blood together, there will always be a harmony.

Therefore, when Li Mu heard that he was recognizing his relatives with blood, he had no fear in his heart. For his indifference, the eldest grandson Wuji is somewhat bottomless, he doesn't know whether Li Mu is Li Jiancheng's son or not, he just gambles, anyway, Li Shimin is already dissatisfied with him, even if he doesn't engage in this blood confession, he will be alienated from him, it is better to do it, at least there is a little possibility of success.

"Okay, blood to recognize relatives." Li Mu readily agreed, and without waiting for Li Shimin and eldest grandson Wuji to speak, Li Mu continued: "However, I have two requests. ”

Li Shimin was apologetic in his heart, and when he heard Li Mu's request, he said: "If you have any requirements, you can just say it." ”

"Your Majesty, that's all the minister can say. First, Uncle Guo's move humiliated the minister. The minister wants to gamble with him, if the minister is the son of the hidden prince, then needless to say, the neck will be killed, but if the minister is not, the minister asks His Majesty to be the minister's master, I want my uncle to lose 100,000 yuan to me, as a settlement fee to go to Luoyang. ”

Li Mu did not open his mouth widely, but asked for money. Because the identity of the eldest grandson Wuji is there, even if he makes a bet today and lets the eldest grandson Wuji go home to farm, it won't be long before Li Shimin will use him, and there is no point in doing so. 100,000 yuan, for the eldest grandson of the big family, it is not unaffordable money, but it is definitely very painful. If the eldest grandson Wuji wants to collect so much cash in a day or two, he must borrow it, which is a great shame. But this money is not ridiculously much, Li Mu bets on the character of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he will not dodge, he will definitely agree.

Sure enough, without waiting for Li Shimin to speak, the eldest grandson Wuji had already responded, and said: "If you are not the son of Prince Yin, then the old man is wrong to blame Zhongliang, and 100,000 yuan of apology is also deserved." ”

"Refreshing!" Li Mu continued: "The second request, Uncle Guo also saw it, the people downstairs today are all my relatives and friends, and they are all His Majesty's subjects, not outsiders!" I, Li Mu, do things, whether it's right or wrong, I want to be fair and upright. In front of the gong and the drum on the other side, the real knife and the gun are dry. Since it has reached the step of recognizing relatives with blood, there is no need to hide it, put the case in the lobby, let the princes make personal witnesses, and invite the emperor to come out as a witness, so as to avoid the mouth of the world. ”

"Li Mu, there's no needβ€”" Li Shimin wanted to persuade, but Li Mu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for not backing down." ”

Li Shimin looked at him and sighed, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

He glanced at Grandpa Gao, Grandpa Gao turned around and went out to prepare, and after a while, a case was placed in the lobby on the first floor, with two daggers and a basin of water.

Li Yuan was invited downstairs, he glanced at Li Shimin, snorted, and ignored him.

Li Shimin didn't dare to look at his father, and took Li Mu and the eldest grandson Wuji to the case. At this time, there is no need to talk nonsense, Li Shimin picked up the dagger, cut it on his index finger, squeezed out a few drops of blood, and the blood dripped into the porcelain basin, the porcelain basin with a white background, lined very conspicuously.

Li Mu also took another dagger and cut it on his finger, he was just about to squeeze out the blood, when he suddenly stopped and looked back at Li Yuan behind him.

A bold idea suddenly popped up in Li Mu's heart, and he squeezed out a few drops of blood and dropped them next to Li Shimin's blood.

Everyone watched the changes in the blood, only to see that the blood was diluted and lightened by water, and then touched and fused together little by little.

It's done!

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled, pointed to the fused blood, looked at Li Mu, and said, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Li Mu seemed to be frightened and speechless.

The people around who witnessed this scene were also speechless, and no one thought that Li Mu was really Li Jiancheng's son.

Li Shimin looked at the blood fused together in a daze, and his heart turned upside down! The last thing he wants to see happens, Li Mu is really the son of his eldest brother Li Jiancheng! He is so good, the revenge of killing his father is not shared, can he not take revenge?

Seeing the fused blood, Li Yuan grabbed Li Mu, pulled him behind him, blocked Li Mu with his body, and said, "Li Shimin, if you want to kill Li Mu today, kill me first, otherwise, don't think about it!" ”

Li Shimin laughed miserably: "Father, why do you want to get involved-"

"Your Majesty, please say a word!"

Li Mu seemed to suddenly perk up, and seemed to be jumping off the wall in a hurry, and defended himself in a panic: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not rigorous to only examine the blood of the minister and His Majesty. If I am the son of Prince Yin, the blood of the minister will inevitably blend with the emperor. His Majesty is the son of the Emperor, and his blood must be compatible. Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to squeeze out a few more drops of blood, and since you want to verify it, you will test it a few more times and verify it thoroughly! After a pause, Li Mu muttered, "Let me die too." ”

Li Mu suddenly glared and shouted, "Man, bring two more porcelain basins, both filled with water." ”

The young man was so frightened that he subconsciously obeyed Li Mu's instructions and took two porcelain basins filled with clear water.

Li Shimin already had a plan in his heart, but when he heard Li Mu's words, he also felt that he should be given an understanding. That is, two more drops of blood were squeezed out, he was Li Yuan's parent, and he had never had any doubts, so he was naturally not afraid.

Li Mu turned his head and bowed and said, "Emperor Taishang, the kid is not brave, please give the Emperor a few drops of blood." ”

Li Yuan looked at Li Mu, Li Mu nodded slightly, Li Yuan sighed, and said: "Boiled beans burn beans, beans cry in the kettle, they are born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other-" After reciting Cao Zhi's "Seven Steps Poem", Li Yuan picked up the dagger and also cut his fingers, and in the second basin of clear water, two drops of blood dripped out, and in the third basin of clear water, two drops also dripped down.

Li Mu squeezed out the blood and dripped into the second basin of water. He looked at Li Shimin, who also squeezed out two drops of blood and dripped into the third basin of clear water.

Everyone looked at the two basins of clear water, the blood was diluted, spread, touched-

Suddenly, a change occurred!

I saw that the blood of Li Mu and Li Yuan had condensed. This shows that Li Mu and Li Yuan are not related! This is contrary to the results given by Li Mu and Li Shimin's blood just now! The blood fusion of Li Mu and Li Shimin shows that Li Mu and Li Shimin are related by blood. And Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng are both Li Yuan's sons, and Li Yuan's blood should also be integrated with Li Mu!

But at this time, it does not melt, and there is only one possibility. Everyone looked at the third basin of clear water, and sure enough, Li Shimin's blood and Li Yuan's blood also condensed!

The crowd was in an uproar!

According to the theory of blood combination, there is only one possibility for the current situation. Li Mu and Li Shimin are related by blood, Li Mu and Li Yuan are not related by blood, and Li Shimin and Li Yuan are not related by blood. In other words, Li Mu may be Li Shimin's son, but Li Mu and Li Shimin have nothing to do with Li Yuan!

Li Mu and Li Yuan are not related by blood, so it has no impact. But if Li Shimin and Li Yuan are not related by blood, it will be a big problem! Li Shimin's throne came from the wrong way, he killed his brother and killed his brother, so he got today's throne. And his ability to sit firmly on the throne has a lot to do with the fact that he was the only one left in Li Yuan's sister-in-law back then. But if he wasn't Li Yuan's son, there would be no legitimacy left for his throne at all!

The Tang Dynasty was defeated by Li Yuan, and Li Yuan is still alive. In the court, there are still many old ministers, if Li Shimin is really not Li Yuan's son, the world is in chaos!

Everyone is stupid! Li Shimin himself was stupid, he never thought of it. Checked and inspected, and Li Mu was identified as his own child, but he became a wild seed!

But what's going on? Li Shimin himself knows his own affairs, and the first time in his life is with the eldest grandson, after they got married. And Li Mu is eighteen years old this year, no matter how you count it, he can't give birth to such a big son!

In other words, Li Mu can't be his child! But now the blood test shows that he is related to him! If Li Mu is Li Jiancheng's son, this possibility exists. But if he admits this result, it is equivalent to admitting that he himself is not Li Yuan's son. This result is unacceptable to him! Which outcome is right? Li Shimin is confused, he doesn't know!

"What the hell is going on!" Li Shimin glared at the eldest grandson Wuji angrily, lowered his voice and said, "How to end now?" I am the son of my father, this can never be fake, it can't be! ”

Li Yuan also wondered in his heart, he knew very well that Li Shimin was his biological son. There can be absolutely no fake, not to mention the side, just this look, no matter who looks at it, both of them are father and son. Moreover, Li Yuan has a very close relationship with his original queen Dou, and he will never believe that Dou will betray him.

But now, it's not clear.

Recognition of relatives by blood has a history of hundreds of years, and all dynasties and dynasties have been convinced of this. So many people have seen the fusion of blood, how can they tell the difference?

Li Shimin suddenly felt evil in his heart, and an idea popped up in his mind: Why don't you kill all these people? Kill them all, kill them!

But then, he dismissed the idea himself.

These people are not ordinary people. Cheng biting Jin, Qin Qiong and the like, can they be killed casually without an explanation? There are also eldest grandsons Wuji, Li Yuan and others, can he kill them?

When he was in a hurry, Li Shimin could only look at Li Mu, hoping that he could come up with a way to fool his eyes. Li Mu saw Li Shimin's eyes asking for help, his heart was almost hot, he stepped onto the case in one step, and said loudly: "Listen to me!" ”

Li Mu's voice overwhelmed everyone's noise: "The princes listened to the boy's words, and everyone witnessed the process of dripping blood and recognizing their relatives. The results are in front of you and cannot be denied! ”
