Zhang Fan et al. There is no real evidence now. All. It's just three guesses. It's just speculation, though. But these three speculations surrounding Zhao Zijie. But it's not so unreliable. Perhaps one of them is true. But either way. For Zhang Fan, they are similar. Even if Zhao Zijie is really the unknown son of King Kang. For Zhang Fan, they said. Nothing. As long as he is brought back to the capital and handed over to the Empress Dowager Li, it will be over.

Of course. If Zhao Zijie is really the son of King Kang. Zhu Xuanqi's younger brother's words. Of course, things can't just end there. He had to be identified. And how to confirm his identity. Naturally, you still need the genealogy of the Shu King lineage. Other words. This time, it was going to be replaced by Zhang Fan, and they went to steal the genealogy.

Of course. Although this speculation is very bold. If you guessed right. It will also make Zhang Fan's affairs easier. But actually. The success rate is not very high. There are a lot of things that people don't understand. If Zhao Zijie is that person. Now he should be the one who calls the shots. It's not like the kind of person who will be controlled by people. But nowadays. He didn't look like that kind of person. It's as if you have to listen to those people.

And. If he is the man. Why is he this prince. Do it yourself. Wouldn't it be better to find someone at random? Of course. There is a way to explain this. That is, Zhao Zijie really has a lot of resentment towards Zhu Xuanqi. You have to do something yourself. Visible. How strong is man's pursuit of desire. Even Zhao Zijie was still young at the time. Can't remember anything. But just know that someone has robbed what should have belonged to him. He's going to be very angry. And so it goes. Not to mention the throne that can bring endless glory and wealth.

But. Is that the case at all? We have to find out. Wang Meng and Liang Chao continued to investigate those who had been in the Shu King's Mansion twenty years ago. And Zhang Fan. is waiting for Zhao Zi's outstanding deeds.

If Zhao Zijie is that person. I'm afraid no one will come to him for trouble. After all, those people. can be regarded as relying on Zhao Zijie. I want to make a deal. But. Zhang Fan still thinks that Zhao Zijie will be in trouble. Because no matter how you look at it. Zhao Zijie doesn't look like the leader of that gang.

After discussing these things with Wang Meng and Liang Chao. The hour is approaching the unitary hour. Zhang Fan returned to the palace. It's still so lively in the palace. It seems that these people have infinite energy today. There was no fatigue at all.

And Joanna is back. Although today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. But it's also very lively outside. Although it is a day for families to reunite for the New Year. But naturally, there are people who want to take advantage of this opportunity to make good money. Therefore, there are naturally many vendors selling things on the street. It also attracted a lot of people. Joanna is naturally one of them. Zhang Fan could see that she had bought a lot of things. Eighty percent of them are bought by children. But Joanna didn't care. On the contrary, it seems even more happy.

And after seeing Zhang Fan come back. Joanna was even happier. I went up and told Zhang Fan what I saw outside today. Zhang Fan listened to her words. Look at her smile. But I was a little sorry in my heart. I couldn't go out with her today.

A moment later. The ritual of worshipping heaven and earth begins. The area in the palace of the king of Shu is vast. So the heaven and earth table was arranged in the courtyard. Even if there are a lot of people who come. But it doesn't look crowded anymore.

Originally. It's a ritual that every family has to do. The palace of the king of Shu is also required. Of course, the scale is also larger. It's just usual. in the palace. It's also a bit rudimentary. And this year. Because of Wang Xilie, who is familiar with it, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is there. So it's pretty formal. Although it is a lot more cumbersome. But there's nothing to complain about.

Generally speaking. There is no big Buddha hall at home. Only then will the ritual of worshipping heaven and earth be paid more attention. After all, usually. Contribution to the Buddha is relatively small. It's the end of the year. It is necessary to treat the gods and Buddhas of the heavens to a great extent. And the people in the palace of the king of Shu. There are not many people who believe in Buddhism. Most of them are believers. But this ritual. Naturally, it is also indispensable.

The Heaven and Earth Table is different from the perennial Buddhist hall. In addition to hanging money, incense and candles, five offerings, and large offerings. Most of the Buddha statues are temporary. Most of them are woodcut drawing boards. Or a portrait or something. Although these are also worshiped in the palace of the king of Shu. However, the materials used are not the same at all. Beautifully so. That's what the palace is for. To know. These things. Wait until after the worship of the gods. It's all to be incinerated. If it's too beautiful. Even ordinary large families are somewhat unaffordable. But the palace naturally has no worries about this.

After the worship. The hour is already the hour. And this time. It's time to start eating Chinese New Year's Eve. This is also considered to be the Chinese New Year for every household. The most lively and enjoyable time. Both adults and children. They were all very happy. And today's palace is among them. There were quite a few people who came. People who are able to sit at a table to eat. Naturally, there are a lot.

And. The Shu Wangfu has obviously made great preparations today. There are absolutely two things that are indispensable. Hot pot and fish. That's all the color, smell, and flavor. Especially the hot pot in this Shu land. It's a must. Even Zhang Fan has eaten hot pot many times since he came to Sichuan. But none of them were as delicious as they were made in this palace.

It's not just about eating, of course. It seems that it is time for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. The man became cheerful. Branches in these royal palaces. Although today is also very lively. But it's not actually too open-minded to speak. Although there are a lot of words. But very cautiously. But when this time comes. But they all opened the conversation. Some of the words that are not usually too decent. I can say it.

Don't say it's these people. The same is true for Zhu Xuanqi. In the morning when he received these relatives. It's still serious. The attitude is also neither salty nor light. But by this time. He was smiling.

This table. Outside Zhu Xuanqi. There are also Zhang Fan and other three people from the capital. After that, it was the lord of the Shu Dynasty. Among them, there are Zhu Xuanjiong, the king of Neijiang Guogongmu, Zhu Chengji, the king of Deyang Guofeng, Zhu Rangji, the king of Shiquan, and Zhu Chengjiong, the king of Wenchuan Anhui.

Frankly. In the past, the lords of these small countries or something. Zhang Fan had naturally read about it in books. But nowadays. Eat at the same table with so many lords. To be honest, Zhang Fan still felt a little strange. The weird feeling didn't last long, though. As the people at the table chatted more and more speculatively. That feeling is also gradually disappearing.

Zhang Fan from the words of these people. I learned a lot. Although these people say things. It's all sorts of things. However, Zhang Fan could hear something from it. No matter what these people say. But they are all inseparable from one point. Those are the descendants of these royal families. I wasn't happy when I was a kid. There are a lot of constraints.

Seemingly. It's not just the rich and the noble, but the troubles of the rich and noble. I'm afraid that the more noble the family's identity. The more unpleasant it has been when I was a child. Royal, that's even more needless to say. Of course. Zhu Yijun is an exception. He knows how to hide himself. made his father and mother look like he was very obedient. But he was private. But it's very naughty.

Zhang Fan didn't know what was going on. Listen to these people. But I remembered Zhu Yijun. And. It's not just about thinking. I laughed unconsciously.

Zhang Fan smiled. But it made everyone present a little strange. Although they are all talking. But most of these are these people's business. Zhang Fan as a listener. I didn't say anything funny. Why did you laugh?

After Zhang Fan saw it. I also hurriedly explained. said that he thought of some things about the emperor. I can't help but feel a little funny.

Zhang Fan's words. It made everyone present immediately interested. Even Zhu Xuanqi is no exception. Speaking of which, though. They are all descendants of the Zhu family. But after all, from the time of Taizu. They settled down in this Shu Di Angen. Even if there is the blood of the Zhu family flowing in his body. But for the palace thing. It's not clear. Now that there is a person like Zhang Fan who knows the situation, he is here. That naturally doesn't have to be said. They all asked.

Zhang Fan didn't feel bothered. Besides. Now is the time to eat and talk. Now that these people have spoken. It doesn't hurt for him to say something. Merely. Since what he said is a matter of the emperor, it is a matter. Then it is natural to be cautious. There are things that can be said. Harmless. It's okay to say it and make everyone laugh. But there are some things that cannot be said. It's going to be a problem to say it.

Fortunately, Zhang Fan is measured in this regard. The grasp is very in place. There is no transgression. Words spoken. It makes everyone feel funny. But nothing else will happen.

This Chinese New Year's Eve meal was quite long. It took almost an hour to work. And after eating. This is the time. There is still an hour to go.

Children who have been naughty all day can't stand the sleepiness. Even if it is to keep the New Year. But the adults also let them go to sleep. And the rest. But he was playing mahjong.

That's right. It's mahjong. Although about when and where exactly the origin of mahjong was. What's going on. There are too many sayings. But this time. Mahjong is already popular.

Although it is said that there is gambling money. But it doesn't matter in the palace. Besides. These people were there. Even if it's not going well on weekdays. But in any case, they are the masters of all countries. Naturally, there is no shortage of silver.

And Zhang Fan is also among them. But he's teaching Joanna how to play. Of course. Even if someone teaches. Joanna still lost a lot. But fortunately, Zhang Fan has money. I don't care.

But it's almost time for the sub-hour. Zhang Fan discovered. Liang Chao arrived. He knows. Something. I was finally able to figure out what was going on.
