137: System, please
Even as the ruler of a country, he couldn't ignore these more than thirty important court officials.
Taking a deep breath, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong changed his mind and felt that the matter itself was nothing.
It was just about proving his identity.
Once this matter was settled, he would slowly settle today's score!
"How do you want Us to prove it?"
"Your Majesty can perform a blood test," an official in the crowd blurted out.
The other officials echoed, "Yes, the Fake Late Emperor is still alive. We can ask the Fake Late Emperor to come and perform a blood test!"
"Blood test?" As a modern person who had transmigrated here, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's already unpleasant expression grew even darker when he heard this method.
This thing was entirely based on luck.
Even if the other party wasn't your father, as long as your blood types were the same, they would mix.
And if the other party really was your father, but your blood type was the same as your mother's, the blood of the father and son would still not mix in the end.
This hasty method was actually believed by the many officials present, and Third Prince Sheng Tianlong only felt it was absurd.
"This method won't work. Change to another method."
Third Prince Sheng Tianlong directly refused.
He didn't even know the blood type of that fake emperor who had just abdicated, let alone his own.
If he really dragged him over for a blood test, there was a chance they would mix, but the greater possibility was that they wouldn't!
Third Prince Sheng Tianlong naturally wasn't willing to take the risk.
"Your Majesty, this method has been recorded in our ancient texts to this day as the most effective and clearest method. How could it not work?"
Seeing Third Prince Sheng Tianlong refuse, Prime Minister Yu immediately felt emboldened.
In his opinion.
Third Prince Sheng Tianlong definitely knew that the fake emperor wasn't his biological father, which was why he was so afraid to try it!
"Are there no other methods?" Frowning, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong gradually lost his patience.
"Is Your Majesty afraid? Or are you saying that you already know that you are not the Fake Late Emperor's offspring?"
Prime Minister Yu's words were becoming increasingly pressing.
It must be said that as an official in the court, being able to do this much in front of Third Prince Sheng Tianlong, the Emperor, was already the absolute limit.
If it weren't for the more than thirty officials behind him, Prime Minister Yu had no doubt that he would be directly executed by Third Prince Sheng Tianlong on the spot!
His words also caused the officials behind him to start discussing.
"That's right, the blood test, this method has been used since the Spring and Autumn period. How could it not work?"
"Historically, countless people have found their biological fathers using this method!"
"For Your Majesty to directly deny this method, could it be..."
For a time, the voices of the officials in the entire Yuanlong Hall were incessant.
Hearing this, anger surged in Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's heart: "Enough!"
"All of you, get out! On the court tomorrow, every single one of you, We will definitely remember this debt!"
He waved the long sleeves of his dragon robe.
Since they couldn't talk it out, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong wouldn't talk anymore!
His current position was that of the Emperor!
In the entire Sheng Country, he was an existence with absolute authority.
Watching as Third Prince Sheng Tianlong was about to leave, the officials in Yuanlong Hall immediately became anxious.
Originally, they thought that with all of them putting pressure on Third Prince Sheng Tianlong, the other party would cooperate out of consideration.
At first, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong did cooperate, even asking how everyone wanted him to prove that he was of the Royal Family's Bloodline.
But.
It was only after the method of the blood test was brought up that Third Prince Sheng Tianlong immediately changed his expression!
"Your Majesty, you cannot leave!" Prime Minister Yu directly blocked Third Prince Sheng Tianlong: "If Your Majesty cannot prove that you are of the Royal Family's Bloodline, then we will all resign from our official positions!"
"Because we will not bow to someone with impure blood as our Emperor!"
"Yes, we ask Your Majesty to resolve the worries in our hearts," the officials behind him echoed.
"Are you threatening Us?"
"We just want to ask Your Majesty to give us officials an explanation."
More than thirty officials using their official positions as leverage to threaten him, this was a situation that Third Prince Sheng Tianlong couldn't casually ignore.
Just letting him do the blood test.
This method had too many uncertainties.
Once his blood type didn't match that of the fake Fake Late Emperor, things would become even more troublesome!
Thinking about it, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong realized that this matter tonight was full of abnormalities.
Thirty officials gathered so late at night, together asking him this question that everyone had overlooked, even using their official positions to force him just to get an answer.
Why? Who was pushing and hindering behind the scenes?
Suddenly.
Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's mind recalled the white pieces on that chessboard.
Could it be...?!
"Creak creak creak~"
Behind the many officials, the large door of the Yuanlong Hall slowly opened at this moment.
A cold wind swept in, and all the officials couldn't help but shiver.
Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's gaze instantly focused on it!
As the large door of the Yuanlong Hall opened, A Man appeared in everyone's sight!
"It really is you!"
Although he had already guessed, seeing Sheng Changge still alive and well, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong was clearly unable to remain calm.
"It's Fifth Prince!"
"Fifth Prince is not dead! He's still alive!"
Except for Prime Minister Yu, the other officials had also just seen Sheng Changge.
"Long time no see, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong," Sheng Changge said calmly, then shook his head slightly: "No, I should call you Li Tianlong."
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing, just want to pull down the person who shouldn't be sitting on the throne!"
As he spoke, Sheng Changge beckoned behind him.
The unconscious fake Fake Late Emperor was brought into Yuanlong Hall by two guards.
"I've even invited Father Emperor. You just need to drop a drop of blood. Is that so difficult?"
Sheng Changge's words caused Third Prince Sheng Tianlong to silently cast his gaze upon him: "Are you so sure that my blood will not mix with the Fake Late Emperor's?"
"Whether it's true or false, you'll know if you test it."
He didn't say anything more to Third Prince Sheng Tianlong.
In Sheng Changge's opinion, no matter how much more was said, it was just a pile of meaningless nonsense.
It was far less certain than the current blood test!
"If you want me to do a blood test, fine." Finally, facing the hall full of civil and military officials, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong chose to compromise.
However, he proposed a request...
"You must also do a blood test with the Fake Late Emperor. Only after you finish your blood test first will I test myself."
Third Prince Sheng Tianlong pointed his finger at Sheng Changge!
This scene, on the contrary, made the officials present exchange confused glances.
Could it be that Fifth Prince is also not of Royal Family Bloodline? Why did Third Prince Sheng Tianlong want Fifth Prince to also be tested?
As this thought just surfaced in everyone's minds, Sheng Changge nodded without much hesitation: "Okay, I'll test first to see if I'm of Royal Family Bloodline."
His calm words formed a stark contrast with the emotionally agitated Third Prince Sheng Tianlong!
This also left Third Prince Sheng Tianlong speechless.
He had completely not expected Sheng Changge to answer him so easily.
...
It didn't take long.
Just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, under the preparation of the palace maid.
A bowl of clear water was brought out.
The blade sliced across, and a cut appeared on the finger of the unconscious fake Fake Late Emperor.
A drop of fresh blood fell into the bowl.
Looking at the drop of blood in the bowl, Sheng Changge calmly pricked his fingertip, and under the gaze of the crowd, his blood dripped into the bowl.
"System, please."
