Chapter 607: Bloodline
readx;
On March 29, it was already late spring, and the sun was shining today, and the weather was slightly hot. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After standing for a long time and kneeling frequently, everyone was sweating, but no one in the temple felt hot, and no one cared. Everyone's attention was focused on Lin Zhao, whether he was Emperor Renzong's biological son or not!
The Empress Dowager wants to inspect her relatives in public, in front of the ancestors and ancestors, and hundreds of officials witness in person, and the results are true and intuitive!
Zong Zhengqing Zhao Zongsheng said: "To verify the bloodline, there are witnesses, physical evidence, and it is best to have evidence that directly proves the bloodline. ”
"Okay, then it's up to you to preside over it, and verify it right now!" If it is late, it will change, and it is natural that it cannot be wasted if it is deliberate to create today's situation. Cao is the empress dowager, and her status is already noble. At the same time, as Empress Renzong, she has the right to speak on the return of the prince, and no one can refute it.
The initiative was in his hands, but Zhao Zongsheng did not have the slightest excitement at all, but felt a huge pressure. Secretly exchanged a look with Gao Taotao, and then he calmed down: "Dare to ask Lin Zhao, when was your birth date?" ”
"The third day of the eighth month of the second year of the emperor's blessing!"
Everyone heard it clearly, Lin Cairen was pregnant at the end of the first year of Huangyou, and his birthday was almost the same!
"Who can prove it?"
Lin Zhaolang said: "How about inviting my mother and witnesses to come and distinguish?" ”
Lin Cairen, oh no! According to Emperor Renzong's will, she should be promoted to Concubine Lin after giving birth to a son. She's still alive, and that's the most convincing proof.
"Good!"
Under everyone's gaze, a middle-aged woman, followed by a middle-aged man who was not tall and slightly fat, came slowly.
There is no need to introduce, everyone only needs to take a look, whether she is Concubine Lin is not sure, but it can be concluded that she is Lin Zhao's biological mother. The appearance is too similar, Lin Zhao's appearance follows his mother. There are more than five or six points of similarity, which is very obvious and can be seen at a glance.
Gao Taotao looked at this once familiar face, and his heart was filled with strong discomfort. It was this woman back then, and this woman's belly almost ruined her husband's future and decades of hard work, making them worried, and even disillusioned for a while. So that in the end, he took a risk, made a dangerous move, and almost broke the net.
During that time, she often had nightmares. But for the sake of her husband's future. You have to be ruthless. Years have passed. I thought it was all over. But today, the nightmare struck again, and she and her son were once again shrouded in fear and deeply disturbed.
Concubine Lin came all the way. Bowing down in front of the Cao family, Yingying bowed: "The concubine has seen the queen!" ”
"Qiuyue, I didn't expect to see you again, it's been more than twenty years, Emperor Renzong is no longer there, and I am no longer the queen......" Cao Shi burst into tears and shouted out Concubine Lin's name, which shows that they are familiar with each other.
"Yes, it's been more than 20 years, and now it's time to call you the Empress Dowager!" Concubine Lin nodded lightly.
"yes. It's been more than 20 years, and Dongyang has grown so big! ”
Obviously, the Empress Dowager knows the woman in front of her, and she is really the concubine of Emperor Renzong! Then Lin Zhao's identity seems to be logical, and the ministers have already believed it!
Zhao Zongsheng stepped forward and said respectfully: "The Empress Dowager." I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of the ministers, can you be sure that the person in front of you is Emperor Renzong's concubine Lin Cairen? Calling him a talented person, not Concubine Lin, it can be seen that Zhao Zongsheng's attitude is not to believe in Lin Zhao's identity, and he deliberately emphasizes it.
"Although I am old, I will not be dizzy with old eyes, and people will not admit mistakes." Cao Shi groaned slightly, and said: "The Queen Mother has also seen it, all the Empress Dowagers, and the old palace people all know Concubine Lin, so please identify them together." ”
"It's really similar, but I'm not very familiar with Lin Cairen!" Gao Taotao gave an ambiguous statement.
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager Miao said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager only visited the Mingyue Pavilion a few times in the past, and it is reasonable not to be familiar with it, but the Empress Dowager and I both know each other!" ”
"Yes, in the past, Lin Niangniang was pregnant, and the doctors said that it might be a younger brother, so I often went to Mingyue Pavilion and lay on Lin Niangniang's abdomen to listen to the fetal movements." Zhao Fukang also had the right to speak, and said firmly: "This princess can also be sure." ”
Zhao Zongsheng couldn't help but hesitate, these respected nobles testified, and there would be no mistake in thinking about it, but it was really difficult to question it clearly.
Seeing this, Concubine Lin said loudly: "When I was pregnant in the past, I dreamed that the rising sun rose from the colorful auspicious clouds. ”
Only when there are human witnesses and physical evidence can it be called conclusive evidence.
Cao Shi smiled: "By the way, there is indeed such a thing, remember that the Rising Sun Xiangyun Diagram is from the hand of Ouyang Yongshu, you can ask him to identify it!" ”
Ouyang Xiu, who was already gray, immediately received the order to step forward, regardless of anything else, to confirm and protect the heir of Renzong, and he had no reason to refuse. He also knew the possible consequences of this incident. But I can't take care of it so much, judging from the current situation, Lin Zhao seems to be much stronger than Zhao Ji's father and son!
The crystal clear jade pendant was dazzling in the sun, Ouyang Xiu took it, observed it carefully, and finally confirmed: "Yes, this picture is indeed from the hands of the ministers, on the day the jade pendant was formed, Emperor Renzong also asked the old man to inspect it, and it is this thing." ”
Zhao Zongsheng sighed helplessly and said, "In this way, Lin Cairen's identity is undoubted. It's just that Lin Zhao is your biological son? Even so, whether it is Renzong's parent or not still needs to be verified. ”
"That's nature!" Concubine Lin smiled faintly and glanced at her son, her eyes full of confidence.
Zhao Zongsheng asked: "Dare to ask Lin Cairen, you are a concubine in the palace, even if you are out of the palace because of the fire, why don't you return to the palace after giving birth to the prince?" With your identity, as long as you report to the government, you will definitely be sent back to the palace as a gift! ”
Concubine Lin sighed lightly and said: "In the past, there was a fire in the palace, I hurriedly escaped, and accidentally fell into the royal river, fortunately, there was a kitchen assistant in the imperial dining room He Wu rescued him, but he was already outside the palace when he went ashore, and then lost his direction." I wanted to go back to the palace, but I didn't want to meet robbers on the way! As he spoke, his cold gaze fell on Gao Taotao. Even if she has been in the nunnery for many years, she has an indifferent heart, but she was chased and killed in the past, and her mother and son have been separated for 20 years.
"In order to avoid the robbers, we hid on a boat on the Bianhe River, and we didn't want to leave Bianjing City in a daze."
Concubine Lin continued: "Later, in Yingtianfu, I gave birth to Zhao'er, and I originally wanted to contact the local government to send my mother and son back to Bianjing. But I didn't want to, the robber who killed people appeared again, I fell from the boat into the water, He Wu fled with the child in his arms, and since then I have been separated! Later, I was rescued by the nun of Yingtianfu and survived, but I didn't have a child, how could I go back to the palace? ”
Gu Qi, whose original name was He Wu, immediately grabbed it and said: "The villain fled with the prince and wanted to return to Bianjing, but without Concubine Lin, there was no way to prove the identity of the prince." coincided with the uproar of the Leng Qing case, and I was afraid that I would be misunderstood in Bianjing. It's not a pity for the villain to die, but how can the prince get it if he is unjustly killed?
In desperation, I had to take the prince to Jiangning, live in Mengfu, and search for the whereabouts of Concubine Lin. God is pitiful, not long ago, they found Niangniang in the nunnery of Yingtianfu, and they were able to reunite with mother and son. ”
Hundreds of officials heard it clearly, but they didn't expect there to be such a tortuous story in it. However, some of the older ministers who knew a lot about the situation between the DPRK and China in those years heard a different charm.
The pregnant princess encountered robbers three times and twice, it's too unbelievable and too coincidental, right? Who are the robbers? What is the purpose? If Concubine Lin and the child have three longs and two shorts, who is the biggest beneficiary? I can't think about some things!
"Oh, that's the case, then how can you conclude that Lin Zhao is Lin Niangniang's biological son?"
At this point, Zhao Zongshi and Gao Taotao did not dare to delve too deeply, and they knew the things of the year best. Dig deeper, and the identity of the robber should be eye-catching.
"Just look at Lin Zhao and Niangniang's appearances!"
"There are many people with similar appearances, and it is too far-fetched to use this as a basis!"
In fact, hundreds of officials have already believed that such a similar appearance is difficult to have if it is not a biological mother and son, and it is a bit far-fetched to say that it is a coincidence. However, the royal bloodline must be cautious, and it is not wrong for Zhao Zongsheng to be so strict.
Cao said: "Since this is the case, let's drop blood for relatives, so it is the most intuitive and real!" ”
"Good!" Zhao Zongsheng has no reason to refuse.
Cao immediately ordered people to prepare and tested their relatives on the spot. Although Lin Zhao felt that this method was not very scientific, the results after the experiment were very ideal, thinking that he and his mother's blood type were the same, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
Soon, under the supervision of Concubine Miao, Zhao Fukang, Zhao Baoan, and Ouyang Xiu, the palace people prepared Qing Shui to present.
Concubine Lin and Lin Zhao didn't say a word, and stepped forward to prick their fingers. Two drops of blood entered the water, and soon they fused together.
Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that if he dropped the chain at a critical time, it would be self-defeating.
Cao called Gao Taotao, Zhao Ji, Zhao Zongsheng, as well as a number of royal relatives and respected ministers to watch and confirm the results.
"That should be fine, right?" Cao Shi looked at Zhao Zongsheng and asked coldly.
"Yes!" Zhao Zongsheng said: "In this way, it can indeed be concluded that the two are mother and son; It cannot be concluded from this that Lin Zhao is the bloodline of Emperor Renzong. In the past, Leng Qing's mother Wang was also favored, but the child was born to another man after leaving the palace. ”
"And what are you going to do? Is it possible to open the Yongzhao Mausoleum and drip blood into the bones to verify? Cao was annoyed by Zhao Zongsheng's non-cooperation.
In ancient times, there were two ways to drop blood for relatives, and if both were alive, then drop blood. If one of the parties dies, blood is dripped into the bones, and if the blood seeps into the bones, it is concluded that there is a blood relationship.
When Zhao Ji heard this, he hurriedly said: "No, the emperor has already entered the earth, how can the mausoleum be moved lightly?" It's really unfilial! ”
"Indeed, the tomb of the father and the emperor cannot be moved, and the spirit of the father and emperor in the sky must not be disturbed." Lin Zhao looked at Zhao Ji, smiled faintly, and said loudly: "But there is another way to prove it, please allow me to present some human and physical evidence first!" ”
ps:
The method of blood testing is not scientific, but it is commonly used in ancient times, and it is recorded in the "Record of Clearing Grievances". Involved here, don't delve into it!
