Chapter 4: An Old Archive from Ten Years Ago

Since Yang Kang lived in Zhao Wang's Mansion, people have visited him one after another, and he greeted everyone with a smile, but he never let go of his mouth on key issues, and he really couldn't prevaricate with the very good excuse that he was a child and couldn't call the shots.

Among them, there are risk-taking elements who want to speculate, there are hostile elements who come to test the truth, and of course, there are also their own people in Zhao Wangfu, they will more or less reveal some news, whether true or false, or alarmist and intimidating, or warm and relieved, Yang Kang just smiled and responded.

This attitude of not advancing oil and salt made the crown prince Wanyan Hongyu very annoyed.

Wanyan Hongyu's biological mother is the early death of Queen Pucha, the surname Pucha is the second largest surname of the Jurchens, and has intermarried with the royal family for generations, so most of the queens of the Jin Kingdom were born in the Pucha clan, and the Pucha tribe is also one of the most powerful tribes of the Jurchens.

Although Empress Pucha died early, the power of the queen's family is still very large, and it has a deep foundation in the government and the opposition, and it is not comparable to the nouveau riche family that relies on the emperor's favor of the Yuan Concubine Li family.

Following the system of the Han Dynasty, the Jin State set up the Dazong Zhengfu in the thirteenth year of the Tianhui of Jin Taizong, which was a judicial administrative body, alongside the Zhongshu Province and the Privy Council, and was not subject to the supervision of the Imperial Historical Observatory, which was responsible for handling and adjudicating all matters involving the royal family.

It was an institution of terror that no one but the emperor could monitor and direct, and at some times its power was even above that of the emperor, especially in the matter of succession to the throne.

Since Yang Kang entered the middle capital, a pair of eyes have been staring at him, the crown prince Wanyan Hongyu regards Wanyan Honglie as his lifelong enemy, and the most feared thing is that Wanyan Honglie will seize the throne he is about to hold, and Yang Kang's arrival has added a lot of trouble to him.

Wanyan Hongyu's qualifications are mediocre and cowardly, but he will also show a ruthless side in the face of threats, not to mention that there is no shortage of such advisers around him, after testing Yang Kang in the early stage to no avail, the Zongzheng official of the Great Zongzheng Mansion came up with a vicious idea.

This matter has to start from ten years ago, when the king of Zhao Wanyan Honglie was full of spirit, he returned from the Southern Song Dynasty envoy, in the process of this mission he met the love of his life, a Han woman named Bao Xi weak, the king of Zhao ran to the main mansion of the great sect to ask Bao Xi weak to write into the clan roster, become the unique princess of Zhao.

So Dazong Zhengfu began to investigate the origin of this Han woman with a serious and responsible attitude, Princess Zhao must not be a Han woman of unknown origin, but the investigation went very unwell, and in the process of investigation, it was obstructed by Wanyan Honglie many times, and finally even made trouble to the emperor Wanyan Jing.

At that time, Wan Yan Jing had a doting attitude towards this youngest son, and the concubine Li Shi'er was blowing the wind on the side, Wan Yan Jing asked the Dazong Zhengfu not to take it too seriously, and the left and right were just a woman, under the direct intervention of the emperor, the investigation of the Dazong Zhengfu had to be abandoned, and in order to be worthy of the identity of Princess Zhao, they also made up a story after Bao Zheng, a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty.

A few months later, Yang Kang was born, whether it was in naming the child or on the child's birthday, Wanyan Honglie had a lot of trouble with the Dazong Zhengfu, and this matter once became a joke among the upper class of the Jin State.

This is the reason why the Zhao Wangfu and the Dazong Zhengfu are at odds.

Although the investigation did not continue, some of the investigation materials were still preserved in the archives of the Great Zong Zhengfu, and the Zongzheng official found the most original information from the archives ten years ago, including the oral accounts of the guards who followed Wanyan Honglie to the Southern Song Dynasty, as well as the confessions of the servants in the Zhao Wangfu, and some angry words that Wanyan Honglie said.

At that time, the six princes of the Jin Kingdom were young and vigorous, and they dared to provoke the Dazong Zhengfu that everyone feared, and naturally they did not have the deep scheming in the future, and it was not surprising that they had said some reckless words.

"This king just wants her to become Princess Zhao, when was the child conceived, does this king have anything to do with you, why are you meddling?"

This was clearly an angry remark made when Li Qu was at a loss of words, but it was faithfully recorded and became part of the file, and ten years later, the file was turned out of the dusty room and sent by the Zongzheng official to the hands of the crown prince Wanyan Hongyu.

Wanyan Hongyu still had an impression of this incident, and he also used this incident to make fun of Wanyan Honglie, thinking that the sixth brother was fascinated by the fox jīng of the Southern Song Dynasty.

He opened this file and looked at the investigation report above, there was an obvious gap between the guard's confession and the time when Bao Xi gave birth to a child, a difference of three or four months, that is to say, when Yan Honglie met Bao Xi weak, the woman was at least three months pregnant, and this woman was a married woman.

At that time, Wanyan Honglie's explanation was that he had this child because he had an affair with the woman's husband behind his back, and after he knew that the woman was pregnant with his own child, he instructed the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty to kill the woman's husband and take the woman back to the central capital.

Such an explanation makes sense.

The sixth prince of the Jin Kingdom met a married beautiful woman by chance in the countryside of the Southern Song Dynasty, he was deeply attracted by the beauty of the woman, and the woman was also overwhelmed by the graceful demeanor of the six princes, so the two began a crazy cheating life, when the six princes were about to return to the Jin Kingdom, they heard the news that the woman was pregnant with a child, so they found someone to kill the woman's husband and returned to the Jin Kingdom with the woman.

This sounds like a very rich and colorful legend, but the question of this matter is how to tell that the child is Wanyan Honglie, not the woman's husband?

Even if Bao Xiweak is willing to testify, it can't offset the determination of the Dazong Zhengfu's suspicions, and the women of this era are willing to die to show their innocence rather than say such a shameful thing to their faces, which is why Wanyan Honglie said that angry thing at that time.

The sixth prince of the Jin Kingdom would never let Bao Xiweak suffer that kind of humiliation, so the doubts were still not solved after ten years.

Once anything is serious, it will be very terrible, Wanyan Hongyu looked at this file, his face kept changing, at this time, Wanyan Honglie and Bao Xiqiao were not in the middle capital, and this matter could be used to get rid of that child lightly, but there must be a reasonable reason.

"How to verify?" Wan Yan Hongyu asked in a deep voice.

"It is recorded in ancient books that it is okay to recognize relatives by dropping bones or blood, as long as the child enters the sect, it will be difficult to come out. Zong Zhengguan said with a deep face.
