The royal lineage of the Daning Empire has an extremely strict and cumbersome set of procedures, and it is relatively easier to return to the same surname than to return to the family with different surnames, but it is also cumbersome, and it takes at least three months to half a year to complete this set of strict procedures. However, there is room for discussion in everything, because of the high status of Huangfu Jiang, and the fact that the Huangfu clan of the East China Sea itself is also the queen of the clan, so Zongzheng Temple Qing Huangfu Renjie looked at the face of Huangfu Xinjiang and the emperor, so he adopted a way of soft surname, which is called Houzheng Guizong.

The so-called post-certification return to the sect refers to providing the most basic proof materials first, proving that Wujin is indeed the grandson of Huangfu Jiang, and then you can directly return to the sect, and then investigate the real surname of these materials.

This method is also allowed in Zongzheng Temple, but it is rarely used, this time it is the common meaning of Huangfu Jiang and the emperor, and Huangfu Renjie of Zongzheng Temple decided to adopt this method.

Early in the morning, Huangfu Jiang took Wujin to the official office of Zongzheng Temple located in the southeast of the imperial city.

"Wu Jin, you don't have anything to do today!" In the carriage, Huangfu Jiang asked gently.

Wu Jin looked a little uneasy, he didn't expect that he would suddenly get the title of the Duke of Guo, when Huangfuqu was just a county duke, he put on a prestige in Donghai County, and the Duke of Guo is the highest title after the prince, and it is generally awarded to meritorious ministers, or the grandson of the prince, and he suddenly got this high lord, which made him feel unreal.

"Back to my grandfather, I don't have anything to do today."

There is nothing wrong with Wu Jin calling Huangfu Jiang his grandfather, Wu Jin's grandfather, that is, Emperor Jin An, is Huangfu Jiang's cousin, whether it is in terms of generation or blood, he deserves it.

Huangfu Jiang understood the reason why Wujin was a little uneasy, he smiled faintly and explained to him: "Don't think that you are a special lord, in fact, when my father Lao Liang Wang promised to support Emperor Yong'an who came to power in a coup d'état, he received a written promise from Emperor Yong'an, the Lord of King Liang gave my father three generations, my father does not count, I should be the first generation, my eldest son Hong'er should be the second generation, you are the third generation, but the current Emperor His Majesty did not keep this promise, after my father's death, on the grounds of opposition from other royal families, canceled the promise and named me the king of the county, this is his dishonesty, the holy decree that lasted for three generations is still in my hands, but I don't care, if he really wants to do it according to the imperial system and make you the county prince, I will definitely settle old accounts with him. ”

Wu Jin nodded, "According to the normal imperial system, I should be made a county prince, right?" ”

"That's right! The imperial system of my Daning royal family is 'under the prince, the elder is hereditary, continuing for three generations, decreasing by one grade', that is to say, my father is the king of Liang, and then three generations down, I am the king of the county, my eldest son Hong is the prince of the country, you should be the prince of the county, until you end, your son will no longer have a hereditary title, but change to a lord, and the hereditary inheritance of the eldest son means that only the eldest son can inherit the title, like my second son Zhuo, he is the governor of Xiliang, there is no hereditary title, only because of military merits to get a special title of Gan Guogong, which ensures the preciousness of the title, Like the emperor who fought with you last time, although his grandfather was the king of the county, he himself was not the eldest son, so he did not have a title, only a lord. ”

"But if there are three generations of hereditary like this, there shouldn't be many county kings, but I always feel that there are a lot of county kings, what's going on?"

Huangfu Jiang sneered, "This is the means of Emperor Yong'an, after he ascended the throne, he killed all his brothers, and their children and grandchildren were also exiled to the frontier, as a result, there were only two kings left in the royal family, King Liang and King Xia, Emperor Yong'an made a special king, a total of eighteen princes, after forty years, these princes have died one after another, their eldest son became the king of the county, or eighteen, but I and Huangfu Yibiao are not counted, I and Huangfu Yibiao are real bloodline imperial uncles, when you Jin An Emperor and Yongan Emperor are brothers, they have a total of two imperial uncles, one is King Liang, the other is King Xia, Huangfu Yibiao is the son of King Xia, heavenly retribution, Emperor Yong's own six sons also died early, leaving only the current emperor. ”

The relationship is complicated, Wu Jin only understood a little, he glanced at the coachman again, and Huangfu Jiang smiled: "Don't worry!" My carriage is so soundproofed that he can't hear the noise of the wheels unless I shout. ”

Huangfu Jiang gave Wu Jin a lecture on the title of the imperial system, and soon came to the gate of Zongzheng Temple, Zhao Ruhai, the young secretary of Zongzheng Temple, was already waiting for them at the door, and when he saw Huangfu Jiang getting off the carriage, he hurriedly greeted him, "The old prince can come again in the afternoon, why come here so early?" ”

"It's hard for Lord Zhao to wait."

Huangfu Jiang smiled, "I am in a hurry to do something in my heart, has the emperor's decree arrived?" ”

"It's early in the morning, and we're ready."

Zhao Ruhai glanced at Wujin and smiled slightly, "This is Ling Sun Liang Guogong!" ”

Wu Jin was not used to being called the Duke of the Kingdom, so he bowed his hand and bowed, "Wu Jin has seen Lord Zhao." ”

Zhao Ruhai looked at Wujin up and down, and praised: "A talent, well-deserved, two please!" ”

"Lord Zhao, please!"

Zhao Ruhai led the two of them into the Yamen of Zongzheng Temple, the central yamen structure of the Daning Dynasty is almost the same, a huge building is a central axis corridor, along the central axis on both sides of the various courts, the central axis is opposite the main official room, on both sides is the secondary official room, there are stairs on both sides of the second floor and the third floor, generally upstairs are clerical data rooms, all offices are concentrated on the first floor.

Emperor Fu Renjie of Zongzheng Temple has heard the letter and is waiting at the door of the main official room, he is about fifty years old, he is the king of Huaiyang County, and he replaced Huangfu Yibiao as Zongzheng Temple Secretary two months ago.

Although he was only in his early fifties, he was already full of silver threads, and his spirit was very strong, he smiled and stepped forward to give a salute, "Greetings to Uncle Huang!" ”

He is a junior, although he is also the king of the county, the king of Lanling County did not perform the same salute with him, but nodded with a smile and introduced him to Wujin, "This is my grandson Huangfu Wujin, and please take care of my nephew." ”

Wu Jin preemptively bowed and saluted, "Wu Jin see your lord!" ”

He has not officially returned to the sect yet, and he can't perform the uncle and nephew ceremony, Huangfu Renjie looked at Wu Jin and nodded, he knew Wu Jin, it was a receipt provided by Wu Jin that sent his predecessor home, he was the prince's person, and he knew the details of this.

However, Huangfu Renjie didn't say anything, nodded to Wu Jin, and said with a smile: "Please go to the senate room, let's start as soon as possible." ”

Wu Jin and Huang Fu Jiang walked into the senate room, it was a large room like a conference room, which was specially used to identify the royal bloodline, and it was full of various documents, and several important officials of Zongzheng Temple were waiting for a while.

Since Wujin is the emperor's personal title and the Duke of Liangguo, Zongzheng Temple attaches more importance to his bloodline identification, which is presided over by Shaoqing Zhao Ruhai himself, and Huangfu Renjie sits aside.

According to the normal process, it is three steps of application-investigation-questioning, which should be the last step, after all the investigation and evidence collection is completed, the applicant and the parties will be questioned, but the situation of Wujin is special, and everyone will deal with it according to the special process.

Several veteran officials were reviewing Wu Jin's birth certificate, which was sent by Huangfu Jiang early in the morning.

"The old prince, please sit, the prince of Wujin, please sit!"

Zhao Ruhai politely invited them to sit down, and Huangfu Renjie also sat aside, at this time, an official handed Zhao Ruhai the file that had been organized into a file, nodded, and said that there was no problem.

Wu Jin's various identity certificates are not supplements, but they have been carefully planned when he was born eighteen years ago, and there are no flaws at all, the only thing that may make people question is the testimony of the circumstantial witness, but the midwife who delivered Wu Jin back then has died eight years ago, and after eighteen years, it is basically difficult to have any more witnesses.

If you judge only from the written proof, there is only one that does not quite match, that is, the hereditary ancestry, it is obvious that Wujin is not the chief, he was born to Huangfuhong and the Shen family in Jiangnan.

Since Huang Fuhong has no other heirs, it is barely reasonable to establish no Jin as an heir, the key is the identity of the Shen family of this Donghai County, whether she is a slave, a Qubu, a military or a normal civil family, this needs to be asked Huangfu Jiang, and then investigated and confirmed.

The main questioner was Zhao Ruhai, who smiled, "Let's start!" ”

Zhao Ruhai looked through the file for a while, and then asked Huangfu Jiang, "May I ask the old prince, why didn't you recognize this child at that time, but didn't admit it until eighteen years later?" ”

Although this kind of words must not be asked in ordinary conversations, but in Zongzheng Temple, these words must be asked, Huangfu Jiang glanced at Wu Jin, and said slowly: "Eighteen years ago, I thought that there would be a grandson, ten years ago the second son gave birth to a daughter, six years ago, the twelve-year-old grandson died of illness, five years ago, the eldest son died, this year I am seventy and two, but there is no grandson, can I not recognize him and return to the sect?" ”

Huang Fujiang said on the side, the two secretaries and officials next to him were recording rapidly, and after the record, Zhao Ruhai asked again: "The old prince has decided to recognize the Shen family as his daughter-in-law, so what is the household registration of the Shen family?" ”

"Nationality!"

Zhao Ruhai nodded, and asked again: "May I ask the old prince, why did you let the East China Sea Huangfu clan raise the child?" ”

"Huangfu Bailing, the head of the Donghai Huangfu family, and I are old friends, besides, he is Hong'er's son after all, I don't want him to change his surname, so it is most suitable to be raised by the Donghai Huangfu family."

．．．．．．． According to the process, Zhao Ruhai asked more than a dozen questions, and Huangfu Jiang answered them one by one, and finally Zhao Ruhai asked Wujin with a smile: "Wujin Gongzi, you also need to answer a question." ”

Wu Jin owed a smile and said, "Excuse me!" ”

"Gongzi Wujin, your question is relatively simple, and there is only one, do you recognize Huangfu Hong as your father and Huangfu Jiang as your grandfather?"

Wu Jin sighed slightly: "Emotionally speaking, I don't recognize Huang Fuhong as my father, but I admit that Huang Fu Jiang is my grandfather. ”

Huangfu Renjie laughed on the side: "Wujin, I don't talk about feelings here, only bloodline, do you admit that Huangfu Hong is your father in blood?" ”

Wu Jin was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "I admit it!" ”

"That's good."

Zhao Ruhai officially added the name of Wujin to the clan card of Huangfu Jiang, and wrote 'Zihuangfu Wujin' in the blank space next to Huangfu Hong, and knighted the Duke of Liangguo.

Zhao Ruhai asked Wu Jin to press his handprint on the card, and then he got up and smiled at Huang Fujiang: "Congratulations to the old prince, Wu Jin is now considered to be a return to the sect, and the back is the routine investigation of our Zongzheng Temple, about three months, if it is basically correct, we will officially announce it." ”

"What about the Seal?" Huang Fujiang asked again: "Do you want to engrave it again in three months?" ”

"Nope! No! The seal has nothing to do with returning to the sect, and by tomorrow morning at the latest, the seal will be sent to the house. ”

．．．．．．．．．
