In 1096, the emperor decided to test the relatives
In this era where parent-child relationships cannot be scientifically verified, as long as the Feng family insists on denying Feng Yao, no matter what evidence Feng Yao presents, the Feng family can say that the source of the evidence is problematic, or that the evidence cannot fully prove that Feng Yao is Feng Yao.
Yun Ji's son.
After hearing what General Feng said, the civil and military ministers present looked at Feng Yao expectantly. They wanted to know what Feng Yao would do?
Feng Yao must have made adequate preparations when he chose to come to Da Qin to meet the Feng family to recognize his relatives. However, if enough evidence was left behind, how could the emperors of Da Qin and Xihu not be able to find out Feng Yao's identity?
Everyone looked at Feng Yao to see how Feng Yao would respond.
Ignoring the scrutiny of everyone present, Feng Yao took a deep breath and said, "Except for this jade pendant, I have no evidence."
It is true that the emperors of the two countries were vegetarians, and this jade pendant had been buried underground, thus escaping the pursuit of the two emperors. Otherwise, Feng Yao would have died long ago.
Hearing Feng Yao's answer, all the courtiers looked disappointed, but they felt that things should be like this, otherwise they would slap the emperors of the two countries in the face more.
After hearing this, General Feng said with neither joy nor anger: "How can I recognize your identity based on this piece of jade pendant? You know, the emperors of the two countries had checked, and when Princess Xihu was pregnant with you, my son was not
I'm not in Xihu, and I've never met Princess Xihu. If you can't produce any other evidence, I really...can't identify you."
"Alas..." General Feng sighed heavily. Although the people present did not understand why he sighed, the long sigh made the listeners feel sad.
If Feng Yao's mother was not Princess Xihu, then everyone would want to recognize such an outstanding descendant like Feng Yao. However, Feng Yao's mother was Princess Xihu, and he himself was Xihu's general, holding a large number of troops.
.
Although he has betrayed Xihu now, who can guarantee that Fengyao will not fall to Xihu again? Fengyao is also considered a member of the Xihu royal family.
The main hall fell into silence again, Feng Yao didn't say a word, and others didn't dare to say anything.
At this time, anything you say may be wrong.
Qin Jiyan saw this and said, "Feng Yao, you have heard what General Feng said. If you can't produce other evidence, I will punish you for alienation."
Feng Yao claimed to be a descendant of the Feng family, but apart from a piece of jade pendant, he couldn't produce any other evidence. What else could he do but drive a wedge between Da Qin and the Feng family?
Upon hearing this, all the ministers said yes one after another, "What the emperor said is that General Feng Yao is indeed suspected of alienation. I wonder if this is Xihu's conspiracy?"
When everyone thought of this possibility, they immediately broke into a cold sweat and stared at the people around them with wide eyes: Isn't it right? In order to deal with Da Qin, Xihu sacrificed so much money?
Being slapped with such a big label, Feng Yao did not panic at all, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, although I have no other evidence to prove that I am a descendant of the Feng family. But, I... am the biggest evidence!"
"You? How to prove it?" Qin Ji spoke with suspicion, as if he didn't believe it, and the ministers also looked at Feng Yao with puzzled faces.
Feng Yao doesn't look like a pure Da Qin person. There are vague traces of Xihu people in his face. If you look at his appearance alone, you really wouldn't have thought that he was from Da Qin without anyone reminding him.
Feng Yao was fearless and calmly faced everyone's suspicious gazes, "I remember that the Gu family had a daughter who had to shed blood to identify her biological relatives. Today, please allow me to drip bones to test my kinship!"
"Bone test?" Qin Jiyan frowned slightly. From the minister's point of view, this was the emperor's dissatisfaction.
General Feng also said: "Drying the bones to test the relationship, but opening the coffin?"
"Yes." Feng Yao said without hesitation. General Feng immediately shook his head: "No."
Feng Yao did not give in, "This is the only way."
"This..." General Feng was silent, took a step back, and said no more.
Qin Jiyan didn't give the minister a chance to say no, and made a final decision: "Yes! I ordered the imperial eunuch to open the coffin and drop the bones to verify the marriage when Huang Daoji is selected."
As soon as the emperor spoke, no matter how much the ministers objected or how reluctant General Feng was, they had no choice but to do it.
Yin Tianjian calculated the time in the afternoon of the same day, and the best time was noon five days later.
Neither General Feng Lao nor Feng Yao had any objections to this time, and both parties expressed their willingness to wait five days.
However, General Feng also said that the Feng family would not allow Feng Yao to enter until Feng Yao's identity was confirmed. Feng Yao expressed his understanding, and Qin Jiyan arranged for him to be placed at the inn and protected by heavy troops.
Qin Jiyan swore that he really sent someone to protect Feng Yao, fearing that Xihu or Northern Qi would send assassins to kill Feng Yao after receiving the news, but...
This move fell into the eyes of the ministers, and Qin Jiyan sent heavy troops to monitor Feng Yao.
"I will take the blame for this." Qin Jiyan and Feng Yao once again made an appointment at the tavern. This time, they were not monarchs, but friends, just like before.
However, only they themselves know whether it can really be the same as before.
Feng Yao raised his wine glass, shook it towards Qin Jiyan, and said with a smile: "This will make you appear wise and powerful."
His identity destined him not to be tolerated by either Da Qin or Xihu. Neither Xihu nor Da Qin would have believed him. If he hadn't made friends with Qin Jiyan when he was young, and if Qin Jiyan hadn't ascended the throne, he would be like this.
It is impossible to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan in your lifetime.
Qin Jiyan burst into laughter, Feng Yao raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup, and asked: "Is the bone test method reliable?"
"With Gu Qiancheng here, we are sure of it." Ever since he knew that the blood test was unreliable and could be faked, Qin Jiyan also asked about the method of the bone test. As for how to fake it, of course he also asked
.
If he didn't have a 100% grasp of the pulse, how could Qin Jiyan dare to let Feng Yao use this method? If something went wrong, even if Feng Yunji climbed out of the coffin, he wouldn't be able to recognize Feng Yao.
"That's good." Hearing Qin Jiyan's affirmative answer, Feng Yao was not at all happy about recognizing his ancestor and returning to the clan. His expression was indifferent and he drank with his head down.
Qin Jiyan shook his head and did not persuade him to drink. He just said, "What? You don't want to go back to the Feng family?"
"No, it's just... I'm not as happy or excited as I imagined, as if everything doesn't matter." Feng Yao held the wine glass and looked outside with a confused expression.
In his life, he only wants to do two things, one is to stand out and protect his mother from being bullied, and the other is to fulfill his mother's wish and bring her to recognize her ancestors.
Now he has done both things, but he found that he was not excited at all. It was as if nothing mattered anymore, and he was also at a loss, not knowing what to do next?
He is an anomaly. Whether in Xihu or Daqin, he cannot be reused. After returning to the Feng family, can he once again gallop on the battlefield and use troops with amusement?
I'm afraid, it can't be done!
Feng Yao held the wine glass, with a layer of moisture in his eyes...
