Chapter 759 751: Was the Imperial Bloodline Replaced? (Part 2)

Why did Emperor Yongzheng write the Record of Righteousness and Misguidedness, why did Emperor Qianlong visit Jiangnan so many times, and why did Qianlong's later empress suddenly go mad, cutting her hair and being quickly exiled to the cold palace?Moreover, some of the habits of the Qing Dynasty Royal Family are puzzling, such as worshipping a strange couple with red and green and preferring Fujian's rattan shield soldiers to guard the royal family.

Some habits have even been passed down to the present, like the popularity of Jasmine tea in the Imperial Capital. This tea existed during the Song Dynasty, but it was always very niche, with popularity only in Fujian.

However, during the Qing Dynasty, the people in the palace suddenly started to like drinking Jasmine tea, and subsequently, the whole Imperial Capital began drinking it.

All these mysteries were originally inexplicable no matter how one thought about them.

But if you make an assumption.

That is, at the time, the reason Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty was because Huang Taiji sent Dayu'er to persuade him.

During the persuasion process, the two developed feelings for each other and had a child. This child, unable to be publicly acknowledged, was secretly fostered among the commoners.

Later, the real Emperor Kangxi caught smallpox and was sent to the countryside to recover, but he died due to improper care.

Thus, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang secretly swapped her child with Hong Chengchou for the original Kangxi.

This led to the lineage starting from Kangxi being the descendants of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Hong Chengchou.

Then many bizarre events in the early Qing Dynasty could be explained.

The previously chaotic story suddenly became clearly connected.

So originally Chen Yiyang was just asking about the identity of the dragon-robed mummy online.

As a result, after several days of topic fermentation, now the whole internet is discussing whether Hong Chengchou is Kangxi's biological father.

Even Chen Yiyang himself did not expect this outcome.

However, he suddenly thought of the hints given by the historian and how Jin Yong and Qiong Yao especially liked writing ethical plots in their novels.

Then he suddenly snapped back to reality.

Could it be that this is true?!

Otherwise, how could it not be explained?

Furthermore, many people's views published online were not haphazard but well-founded, with a lot of evidence.

Over the years, various idle books, miscellaneous notes, unofficial histories, secrets, gossip mysteries from the early Qing Dynasty all suddenly connected at this moment, sorting out all the logic.

Moreover, back then when Emperor Kangxi Xuanye celebrated the Empress Dowager's birthday, he wrote a poem.

The poem's title is "Magnolia," and the full poem is: The jade-like apple originally grows in Jiangnan, transplanted to the royal garden in the spring light. Compared with other flowers, it's truly pure and clean, opening with a piece of ice-like heart in the morning breeze.

On reading this poem, later generations actually found some parts difficult to understand.

You're an emperor writing for a person who, although she is the Empress Dowager, is not your birth mother, why write such strange verses?

The Empress Dowager also has no connection with Jiangnan.

But Hong Chengchou happens to be from Jiangnan in Fujian.

Doesn't this match perfectly?

Chen Yiyang viewed this more and more, and the more he looked, the more he felt that it was highly probable to be true.

The dragon-robed mummy might not be Hong Chengchou.

But if Xuanye is indeed the child of Hong Chengchou and Dayu'er, many historical mysteries find explanations.

This also explains why the historian dared not openly tell Chen Yiyang the truth, only hinted secretly.

Why many folk historical research institutions contacted Chen Yiyang when he posted online asking about the identity of the dragon-robed mummy.

Probably wanting him to delete the post, not hoping the matter would escalate.

Thinking of this, Chen Yiyang hastened to tell the little accountant, "If those historical research institutions try to get in touch with me again, just refuse them."

"Okay." The little accountant nodded, not asking why.

Then Chen Yiyang called the historian and shared his speculation.

"Don't drag me into this." The historian quickly said, "Many scholars in the field of historical research don't like this idea; in the past, no one publicly researched it.

After you posted, many people took advantage of the confusion and released their research results, so the matter is now heatedly discussed."

"I know." Chen Yiyang nodded.

Researching Qing Dynasty history has always been troublesome, as evident from the fact that the official Qing history has not been compiled over so many years.

So, Chen Yiyang himself plans to secretly watch what others post and not get further involved in this matter.

A few days later.

Chen Yiyang received an invitation from a university in Jiangnan Province, so he took the little accountant to visit them.

The primary reason for this invitation is that, in the past, Chen Yiyang greatly sponsored various university research teams in his province, producing many results.

Therefore, Jiangnan Province Science and Technology University also invited Chen Yiyang, hoping he would invest in some university research teams there.

"This is Professor Guo Wei from our School of Materials Science and Engineering."

After arriving at the Science and Technology University, the local school leadership introduced a well-known professor to Chen Yiyang.

"Hello." Chen Yiyang shook hands with the professor.

Towards scientists of this kind, Chen Yiyang always showed great respect.

And he also hopes to find some good investment opportunities from this place.

"What is Professor Guo Wei's research focus?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.

"Mainly in the field of nanomaterials," Professor Guo quickly responded to Chen Yiyang. "Including nanostructured metallic materials, metastable metallic materials, and other areas, I have designed them."

"Impressive." Chen Yiyang applauded.

The nanotechnology domain is indeed currently a hot trend in the materials field.

If someone succeeds in this field, it has significant commercial potential.

Therefore, Chen Yiyang talked extensively with Professor Guo and discussed investment intentions.

However, what puzzled Chen Yiyang was that whenever he talked about specific content, Professor Guo would either avoid the topic or let his students answer Chen Yiyang's questions.

By the way, this Professor Guo is also a doctoral supervisor.

But Chen Yiyang did not think much about it, considering this professor to be quite good, liking for his students to showcase themselves.

However, this Professor Guo, while not discussing specific academic problems, possessed a high level of interpersonal skills.

Both Chen Yiyang and the little accountant found conversing with Professor Guo very interesting, also relaxed and pleasant.

Therefore, after returning to the hotel, the little accountant specially checked Professor Guo's background.

"This Professor Guo is very impressive, back in the day he was the top scorer in the Sanqin Province college entrance exam, then studied undergraduate at Xi'an JiaoTong University, pursued his master's in Australia, and his PhD in Japan at Kyushu University.

Moreover, he worked at the Germany Academy of Sciences, published multiple papers in top-tier journals.

In addition, he is also a foreign academician of the Russian Academy of Engineering."

While the little accountant read Professor Guo's resume, Chen Yiyang kept nodding initially, thinking Professor Guo was highly impressive.

But finally, when the little accountant mentioned that Professor Guo was a foreign academician of the Russian Academy of Engineering, there seemed to be something off.

If he were an academician of an engineering academy from another country, Chen Yiyang wouldn't mind.

But Russia is too familiar to him, having visited several times and having many businesses there.

He remembered chatting casually with his good friend Gena in Russia once.

Gena had even recommended to him whether he'd like to buy the title of academician of their country's academy for fun.

Because the title of foreign academician of the Russian Academy of Engineering was almost openly sold to the point of being sold in Russia.

As long as you pay money, you can get the title through any channel.

Why would a renowned professor in the field of materials science buy such a dubious and even somewhat infamous title?

Previously, several professors and deans had been caught for spending public funds to buy this title.

The more Chen Yiyang thought about it, the more it seemed wrong.

So he asked the little accountant: "By the way, what year was this Professor Guo named the top scorer?"

"Sanqin Province, top scorer in the year 1994," the little accountant replied.
