For a moment, the entire hall was silent. The news came too suddenly. The late emperor's most beloved son, the Sixth Prince, was actually the son of Duan Muren. If this is true, then... then the Liu Duan clan will be executed by the Nine Clan.
, no one among the nine tribes can be spared.
Liu Hao was also stunned. He had never thought that there would be such a shocking secret.
"Third Prince, if this Duan Muren is really the emperor's biological father, then how could this biological father come to this hall to correct his son?" Just when everyone was shocked by this secret, Dou Yacai said.
.
"Sixth sister-in-law, you are very perceptive. It stands to reason that a biological father would not correct his biological son, but if Duan Muren thought that today was just an opportunity provided by the king for him to recognize his son, why wouldn't he come to recognize his son?
Hahahaha..." Liu Yan's evil laughter rang out in the hall, making people feel creepy.
"Third Prince? You...didn't you say that you want me and my son to meet today? How did you..." Duan Muren suddenly felt bad when he heard Liu Yan's laughter, as if he had inadvertently fallen into the Third Prince's house.
In a trap.
Dou Yacai understood that Duan Muren was deceived by Liu Yan. Liu Yan must have told him that today they could reunite their father and son. He, Duan Muren, was the Supreme Emperor, and he never thought that this would drive Liu Hao away.
The throne will also be punished by the nine clans.
Liu Yan was too deep in the city, and because Duan Muren was eager to take revenge on the queen, he was used so thoroughly and pitifully that Dou Yacai couldn't help but feel that he was so miserable.
"Didn't this king allow you and your father to meet each other?"
"You!" Duan Muren was so angry that his veins were exposed, and then he knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed, "Dear ministers, what I just said was nonsense, and you were all instructed by the third prince to frame the sixth prince. This sixth prince simply did not
He is not the son of the old man, he is the son of the late emperor, the son of the late emperor."
However, Duan Muren's eagerness to protect Liu Hui was nothing more than the lack of three hundred taels of silver in this place, which made people even more convinced that the sixth prince was his son.
"Liu Yan, why did you find two people who spoke nonsense, and everyone believed your nonsense!" Liu Hao stood up and said.
"It's just a matter of shedding blood and acknowledging one's relatives."
Liu Yan said calmly that he was ready for everything. Liu Hui could not escape today, and neither could Liu Duan.
"Third brother, please take a step to speak." Dou Yacai grabbed Liu Yan's raised hand and said suddenly.
Liu Yan looked at her and said with a smile, "Okay, now that Ya Cai has spoken, I am willing to listen attentively."
"Dou Yacai, you don't have to beg him!" Liu Hao grabbed her hand and rubbed it hard twice.
"Uncle, this is not the time to be vindictive. Let me tell him, okay?" Dou Yacai left Liu Hao with a reassuring smile, then turned around and lowered his voice and said:
"Third brother, you just want the throne, but if you have the throne but have to lose your head, it's not worth it."
"I'm afraid it's not me, the third brother, who deserves to lose his head."
"Really? If the uncle is confirmed to be not the late emperor's son in the main hall, then the queen mother will definitely be executed and the nine tribes will be punished. Liu Huo must be the biological son of the late emperor. He is one of the nine tribes of the queen mother. Liu Huo and
Third brother is a biological brother, so isn’t third brother also among these nine clans?”
When Liu Yan heard this, he was stunned. After all his calculations, he forgot that he was also among the Nine Clans. Not only was he among the Nine Clans, but also all his brothers, sisters, sons, nephews, in short, people who were related to the late emperor.
They are all included in these nine clans. Moreover, even if Liu Hao is removed from the throne today, he may not be able to sit on the throne, because the late emperor's edict only said that Liu Hao was the one who passed down the throne.
"At that time, it will not just be a few people who will be killed, but the entire Liu family dynasty. Third brother is so sure today, I know you have complete evidence, but I think what you are doing at this moment is very inappropriate. Third brother
, even if you can prevent yourself from being executed, the laws of the Liu Dynasty are so strict, and you, a member of the nine tribes, cannot be the emperor."
Liu Yan was stunned again. He had to admit that he had underestimated Dou Yacai, and it was really enviable for Liu Yan to have such a bold and careful wife.
"Third brother, also, there has been a commotion on the border recently. Some people are taking advantage of the death of the late emperor to plot rebellion. Don't let anyone who is interested take advantage of it."
"Then, what should we do now? I have spoken out my words, and it is impossible not to stop."
"Leave it to me."
Dou Yacai smiled slightly, left Liu Yan, and returned to the dragon chair. When walking back, she put her hand between her teeth, took a hard bite, then hid her fingers in her phoenix robe, and looked at
Liu Hao nodded towards him.
"Ministers, since the third prince insists on dripping blood to recognize his relatives, let's do it. Please bring the tools." Dou Yacai said and held Liu Hao's hand.
"Bean sprouts?" Liu Hao felt his index finger wet.
"Uncle, don't ask anything now. You will cut your middle finger later, but be sure not to drip the blood from your index finger into the bowl and cover it with your sleeve. No one will notice such a subtle movement." Dou Yacai warned.
"You also think that I am not my father's son?"
"That was the secret my father said in my ear that day."
After a while, a white porcelain bowl filled with water and a knife were placed in the main hall, and everyone waited with bated breath.
"Mr. Duan, please bleed." Queen Dou Yacai said with style.
Duan Muren, however, was absolutely unwilling to shed blood. He turned around and ran out, "He is not my son, and the emperor is not my son. The third prince wants to frame the emperor. He wants to frame the emperor."
His frightened voice was heard all over the hall. Several palace guards quickly stopped him. Duan Muren saw this and hit the pillar next to him, but how could his old body escape the palace?
The guards restrained him, and soon his finger was cut with a knife.
Seeing the blood dripping into the bowl, he sighed and passed out.
When the knife was in Liu Hao's hand, he stood up from the dragon chair:
"If it is proven today that I am not the late emperor's son, I will voluntarily abdicate. If it is proven that I am, then I hope that everything will end here. The late emperor's body is not yet cold, and I have just ascended the throne. I will not punish anyone in this matter."
Wow, uncle is so smart! As expected of the late Emperor's family, these few words reversed all possible crises, and also reflected his benevolent side. The most important thing is that Liu Yan does not have to be punished, because if Liu Yan
On the contrary, because he is being punished, he will definitely tell the truth to the world no matter what, even if we die.
Liu Hao picked up the knife, lightly cut his finger, then handed the knife to the eunuch beside him, and then dropped the blood from his finger into the bowl.
