Since Yang Kang moved into Prince Zhao's Mansion, people have been visiting his house one after another. He greets everyone with a smile, but he will never let go on key issues. If he can't bear it, he will use the very good excuse that he is a child and cannot make the decision.

.

Among them are adventurers who want to speculate politically, hostile elements who come to test the truth, and of course there are also people from Prince Zhao's palace. They will more or less reveal some information, whether it is true or false, some are threatening or gentle.

Relieved, Yang Kang just responded with a smile.

This indifferent attitude made Prince Wanyan Hongyu very angry.

Wanyan Hongyu’s biological mother was Queen Pucha who died young. The surname Pucha was the second most common surname among the Jurchens. They had been intermarried with the royal family for generations. Therefore, most of the queens of the Jin Kingdom were born in the Pucha clan. The Pucha tribe was also the most powerful Jurchen tribe.

one.

Although Empress Pucha died young, the power of the empress's line is still very large and has deep roots in the government and the public. It is not comparable to the nouveau riche family like Yuan Fei Li's family who relied on the emperor's favor. It can be said that most of the royal family members

They all sided with the prince Wanyan Hongyu, and the Zongzhengfu, who was responsible for managing the clan affairs, was a loyal supporter of Wanyan Hongyu.

The Kingdom of Jin imitated the system of the Han Dynasty and established the Dazongzhengfu in the 13th year of Emperor Taizong Tianhui of the Jin Dynasty. The Dazongzhengfu is a judicially independent administrative agency, parallel to the Zhongshu Province and the Privy Council, and is not subject to the supervision of the Yushitai. It is responsible for handling and

Judge all matters involving royal family members.

This is a terrifying institution. No one except the emperor can monitor and direct this institution. At certain times, its power is even higher than that of the emperor, especially on the issue of succession to the throne.

right to speak.

Ever since Yang Kang entered Zhongdu City, pairs of eyes have been fixed on him. Prince Wanyan Hongyu regards Wanyan Honglie as his lifelong enemy. What he fears most is that Wanyan Honglie will seize the throne he is about to get. Yang Kang's arrival adds to his

A lot of trouble.

Wanyan Hongyu has mediocre qualifications and a cowardly personality, but he will also show his ruthless side when facing threats. Moreover, there are many such advisers around him. After testing Yang Kang in the early stage without any results, Zong Zhengguan of Da Zongzheng Mansion came up with a plan.

Evil idea.

This matter starts from ten years ago. At that time, King Zhao Wanyan Honglie was in high spirits. He returned from a mission in the Southern Song Dynasty. During this mission, he met the love of his life, a Han woman named Bao Xiruo.

, the excited King Zhao went to the Dazong Palace and asked to write Bao Xiruo into the clan's roster and become the unique Princess Zhao.

Therefore, Da Zongzhengfu began to investigate the origin of this Han woman in a serious and responsible manner. Princess Zhao must not be a Han woman of unknown origin. However, the investigation did not go smoothly. During the investigation, Wanyan Honglie was criticized many times.

He was obstructed and eventually even brought trouble to the emperor Wanyan Jing.

At that time, Wanyan Jing had a doting attitude towards this youngest son, and with Yuan Fei Li Shier blowing off the wind, Wanyan Jing told Da Zongzhengfu not to take it too seriously. He was just a woman. Under the direct intervention of the emperor

, Da Zongzheng’s investigation had to be abandoned, and in order to match the identity of Princess Zhao, they also fabricated a story about Bao Xiruo, a famous Northern Song Dynasty official, Bao Zheng.

A few months later, Yang Kang was born. Wanyan Honglie had a huge quarrel with Da Zongzhengfu both over the naming of the child and the birth date of the child. This incident once became a joke among the upper class of the Jin Kingdom.

This is the reason why Prince Zhao's Mansion and Da Zongzheng's Mansion are at odds with each other.

Although the investigation at that time did not continue, some investigation materials were still saved in the archives of Da Zong Zhengfu. The Zong Zhengguan found the most original information from the archives ten years ago.

The oral statements of the personal guards at the time, the confessions of the servants in Prince Zhao's palace, and some angry words said by Wanyan Honglie.

At that time, the Sixth Prince of the Kingdom of Jin was young and vigorous, and he dared to provoke the Dazong Zhengfu who was feared by everyone. Naturally, he did not have the deep thoughts of the future. It was not surprising that he said some rash words. Faced with the suspicion of Dazong Zhengfu,

Wanyan Honglie once said this about Bao Xiruo’s life experience and the question of when Bao Xiruo became pregnant.

"I want her to become Princess Zhao. When was the child conceived? Does it belong to me? What does it have to do with you? Why do you meddle in other people's affairs?"

This was clearly an angry remark made by Li Qu when he was at a loss for words, but it was faithfully recorded and became part of the file. Ten years later, the file was dug out of the dusty room and sent to Prince Wanyan Hongyu by Zong Zhengguan.

in hands.

Wanyan Hongyu still had memories of this incident. He even used this incident to tease Wanyan Honglie, thinking that the sixth brother was fascinated by the vixen of the Southern Song Dynasty.

He opened the file and looked at the investigation report above. There was a clear gap between the guard's confession and the time when Bao Xiruo gave birth. There was a difference of three or four months. In other words, when Wanyan Honglie met Bao Xiruo

, that woman is at least three months pregnant, and this woman is a married woman.

At that time, Wanyan Honglie's explanation was that he had an affair with the woman behind her husband's back and had the child. After he knew that the woman was pregnant with his child, he instructed the Southern Song Dynasty officials to kill the woman's husband and put him to death.

The woman was brought back to Zhongdu City.

This explanation is reasonable.

The Sixth Prince of the Kingdom of Jin accidentally met a beautiful married woman in the countryside of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was deeply attracted by the woman's beauty, and the woman was also fascinated by the Sixth Prince's graceful demeanor, so the two began a relationship.

Crazy affair life, when the Sixth Prince was about to return to the Kingdom of Jin, he heard the news that the woman was pregnant with a child, so he found someone to kill the woman's husband and took the woman back to the Kingdom of Jin.

This sounds like a very colorful legendary story, but the doubtful point in this matter is how to determine that the child is Wanyan Honglie's and not the woman's husband?

Even if Bao Xiruo was willing to testify, he could not offset the determination of Da Zongzheng to be suspicious. Women in this era were willing to die to show their innocence rather than say such private and shameful things in person. This is why Wanyan Honglie said at that time

The reason for those angry words.

The Sixth Prince of the Kingdom of Jin would never let Bao Xiruo suffer that kind of humiliation, so the doubts remained unsolved ten years later.

Once anything is taken seriously, it will be very scary. Wanyan Hongyu looked at this file, his face kept changing. At this time, Wanyan Honglie and Bao Xiruo were not in Zhongdu City. This child could be easily eliminated with this matter.

Drop it, but there must be a justifiable reason.

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