The gentlemen of the Wei Dynasty wore jade, and white jade was the best among them. Such a piece of uncensored jade with a flawless white jade, worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"Young Master, what do you mean by the Prince of Yanning who sent a piece of white jade?" Sima Yi held the jade in front of Han Jian, "Does he want to bribe the young master so that the young master will no longer pursue his brother-in-law's corruption case?"

"Your Majesty asked me not to ask about this case anymore. He still needs to bribe me?" Han Jian said, also thinking about the intention of Prince Yanning.

"Then he wanted to make friends with the young master and give him a piece of white jade. Well, that's what it is... It's really a good piece of jade."

Han Jian said: "The Prince of Yanning is very clear about the rules of the officialdom. When we go to his house, he has not mentioned any of the matters of making friends. Today he returns with great gifts. There must be a whole story. It is not just a simple thing to make friends."

Han Jian looked at the white jade carefully and wanted to find some clues from it. Finally, he found that the white jade in his hand was just white jade, with no mystery inside.

"What if he doesn't care about him? Since he's sent him, we won't accept it for nothing, right? Young Master, are you planning to send the jade back?" Sima Yi suddenly became stingy and held the jade, as if a pie fell from the sky, and refused to let go.

"Put the jade back into the brocade box, put it in the same place with the other brocade boxes for the time being, pretending not to know." Han Jian said.

"Okay." As long as Han Jian said he would send the white jade back, Sima Jie would be happy to accept it, so he happily packed the jade and sent it to the backyard.

When Han Jian was left in the main hall, Han Jian was alone in planning what the Prince of Yanning was planning.

Previously, Han Jian suspected that the Prince of Yanning and the Northern King Party were also one of the main brains behind the corruption case. But afterwards, Han Jian denied this idea because he could not find out what benefits would the Prince of Yanning serve the Prince of Northern King. If it were about official titles, Prince of Yanning was already the Prince of Prince, and he would not go further. On the contrary, when the Prince of Northern King was not stable, he was the main target of eradication. In terms of money, Prince of Yanning had a vassal outside. Every year, he had large sums of silver, and his daily style was checked and he did not need a large sum of money. If he did not seek power and money, was he so beautiful?

Han Jian took a breath. Did the Prince of Yanning have any intentions toward the Queen? From the previous experience of Yanning's Prince of Gu Weipan's wife Gu Song, Han Jian could feel that Yanning's Prince is a passionate seed, and he could never forget an old guy who was a kind-hearted person decades ago and now a half-old woman. What is it not a passionate seed?

However, this idea is a bit "distant". Han Jian also thinks this idea is undesirable.

Han Jian could judge that the Prince of Yanning had a conspiracy, but he had not seen through this conspiracy yet. Now that he sent a piece of white jade, it was still after he received a few stones to exchange the stones for the stones. The courtesy was really good.

Han Jian sighed. This old guy endured and hiding for so many years, and if he didn't illuminate, he would be amazing.

...

...

Two days later, the debate in Luoyang City over the candidate for the new crown prince has intensified.

Han Jian learned that the ministers of the East Pavilion and the West Pavilion had already divided into two factions of the establishment of the crown prince. One faction supported the establishment of the sixth prince Yang Xi, believing that he was capable of young talents and could solve two major cases in succession. The other faction advocated the establishment of the third prince Yang Yu, believing that the country should have a eldest prince. In general, it was to establish the eldest son rather than the young.

Han Jian thought that this kind of meaningless argument is useless even if it is a quarrel, because this time the crown prince was not a crown prince for the purpose of establishing the crown prince, but a compromise made by the queen under political coercion. Even if anyone is appointed as the crown prince, he can still be abolished in the future. The deposed prince has been common since ancient times. In history, there were few emperors who were deposed as the crown prince, and he was embarrassed to come out and say that he had been the emperor.

Han Jian was very calm about the matter of opposing the prince. It is certainly good for him to establish Yang Xi, but once Yang Xi becomes the prince, the prince will become a hostage, and he may not meet again in the next few years or even more than ten years. When we meet again, things will change. Who is whose friend, such a shallow relationship has long been thrown into Java. How could Yang Xi obey him like today? Yang Yu is also acceptable to Han Jian. Yang Yu goes to the southern country to be a birdman in a cage, which is equivalent to staying away from the core of the power of the Wei Dynasty. When he returns, perhaps Yang Xi has a sensation in the court, and Yang Yuguang has a title of prince that cannot resist.

But after all, anyone who is a prince has to face the problem of the empress's lifespan. The empress is only in her thirties now. When the empress returns to her hundred years, maybe both princes and princes will die sooner, and that will be lively. Maybe the empress is trying hard to eradicate a certain prince or nobleman, whose son or grandson will be the emperor in the future.

The royal family is sometimes so wonderful, and no one can be sure who will succeed as the king of a country. Song Jiang emerged and Fang La's rebel leader stole the imperial power. Who can tell the truth about this?

Two days later, at noon, Han Jian had just gone to Gu's house and returned to Qingxu Yashe and saw Daxiliu who came out to meet him in men's clothing. Han Jian thought that Mrs. Luo had made progress in investigating the rumors. In the past few days, the news about the queen's illegitimate son in Luoyang City has only spread in a small area. However, in several prefectures and counties around Luoyang City, the news spread very quickly.

This kind of thing is a topic of gossip that ordinary people like more. There is no network management brigade of the picket team these days. People talk about some royal secrets in the case, and no one will go to the government to report it, especially when the news has spread. The result of the spread of the news is that it gives people the feeling that the news is spread from the people to Luoyang City. Han Jian knew that the source of the rumors about the queen's illegitimate son was in Luoyang City.

"Forgive me, young master, my godmother cannot find the exact source of the news for the time being." Daxi Liu came up and said.

Han Jian glanced at Daxiliu and said, "Then what are you doing?"

"Although my godmother couldn't find the exact source of the news, she found out based on some clues that the spread of the news was related to the Yanning County Prince's Mansion. The news was probably released by the Yanning County Prince. My godmother is still sending someone to verify the matter, which takes time." Daxi Liu said.

Han Jian nodded. It is indeed not easy to find the exact source of things like rumors. People with ulterior motives will always try to hide themselves. But there will always be more or less clues pointing to the mastermind behind these scenes.

Han Jian thought for a moment and said, "I can't think of the need for Prince Yanning to create such rumors."

Daxi Liu said: "What the young master said is exactly the same as what my godmother said to the little girl. When I first found out here, my godmother was not sure, because the prince of Yanning had never involved any case in the court. He was the most honest and decent prince in Luoyang City. It was rumored that Your Majesty had an illegitimate daughter, but his identity was unknown. After the godmother investigated, there was evidence that the rumor that Your Majesty had an illegitimate daughter was probably the granddaughter of the prince of Yanning, Yang Qingle."

Han Jian was stunned at first, then a bitter smile appeared on his face. In other words, do he have a sister? Or is it the willful and willful Yang Qingle who will become a princess or county lord in the future?

But Han Jian immediately made an association, and something he had been puzzled these days suddenly seemed to be integrated.

"What is the evidence?" Han Jian asked.

"Young young master, my godmother found out that Yang Qingle is the most noble daughter of the royal Yang family who has entered the palace."

Han Jian said coldly: "You can't just say that he is His Majesty's illegitimate daughter just because he enters the palace for a long time. This is a rumor in itself!"

Daxi Liu added: "My godmother learned of a rumor that had not yet spread. Among the rumors, Yang Qingle was arranged as his majesty's illegitimate daughter. This rumor was even earlier than the rumor that the young master was his majesty's illegitimate son, but it was suppressed by some people, and this person was the Prince of Yanning."

Han Jian said: "You mean that the Prince of Yanning wants to stop the spread of this rumor, so he fabricated such a new rumor that I am His Majesty's illegitimate son to confuse the public?"

Daxi Liu nodded and agreed with Han Jian's statement.

Han Jian asked again without asking, "What else did your godmother find out?"

Daxi Liu shook her head and said, "There are only so many for now."

"Yeah." Han Jian nodded, "Let your godmother check how the son of Prince Yanning died at the beginning, oh, and his daughter-in-law, Yang Qingle's mother, and find out clearly together."

"Yes, young master. If the young master has nothing to do, the young woman will take the leave first."

Han Jian nodded again, Daxiliu stood up and left. As soon as she went downstairs, Sima Yi hurriedly ran up. Sima Yi had already arrived at Qingxu Yashe, but when he saw Daxiliu talking to Han Jian, he went downstairs to wait.

"Young Master, is there any latest news?" Sima Yi asked with his neck stretched out as soon as he arrived at the table.

Han Jian nodded and repeated the basic retelling of what Daxi Liu said to him before.

"Young Master, how long has the rumor of that illegitimate daughter been spread? Before or after we went to Yanning County Prince's Mansion?" Sima Yue asked.

"It was before." Han Jian said.

"Hey, this old guy, that's right. This old guy must not want to damage his granddaughter's reputation, so he wants to pull you, young master, and make up more sensational news that will stop mentioning his granddaughter."

Han Jian sighed and said, "If this is true, I think things are simple. But I'm afraid that the Prince of Yanning is not a rumor-monger, but a rumor-believes."

Sima Yi's mind was a little too short this time.

"Young Master, what do you mean?"

"I remember the last time we went to the Prince's Mansion, the Prince of Yanning tried his best to drink me, and it was obvious that he wanted to get me drunk and leave me in the mansion. He also said that he would go to the Queen to ask His Majesty for my marriage to his granddaughter. What a sinister intention he was?"

Sima Yi still couldn't understand and said, "His he...has he said?"

"I've said it, but you just didn't hear it." Han Jian said.

Sima Yi thought about it again and said, "Then I don't believe it. According to the young master's opinion, the Prince of Yanning believed the rumors and thought that the young master and that young man were the children of His Majesty, and he wanted to be confused... Well, that. That little man is his granddaughter. He wouldn't believe such nonsense, right?"

Han Jian said with a solemn look: "If the Prince of Yanning knew that Yang Qingle was not his granddaughter in the morning, would you say he would believe that this rumor is true?"
