Jia Ke took Shi Xiangyun all the way to Ningshou Palace, advanced to the main hall, saluted Jia's mother and sat down.

Mother Jia was naturally happy to see Jia Ke and Shi Xiangyun coming together.

Jia Ke accompanied Jia's mother and Shi Xiangyun to say a few common words, and inadvertently glanced at Jia's mother.

When Jia Mu saw Jia Ke's expression, she knew that he had something important to discuss, so she smiled and said to Shi Xiangyun: "I left you good things in the back, let them take you to have a look." ”

The mandarin duck next to him was also a smart one, and when he saw this scene, he smiled forward and gave Shi Xiangyun a salute, "Guifei Niangniang, please go back with the slave maid, where is the old lady who left you with the things?" ”

Shi Xiangyun didn't doubt him, stood up, greeted Jia Ke with a smile first, and then followed the mandarin duck to the back.

When Shi Xiangyun left, Jia Ke instructed them again: "You take someone to wait outside, I will call you if there is something." ”

After Li Deshan listened, he immediately withdrew from Jia's mother's dormitory with all the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace.

After these people withdrew, Jia Mu said with some blame: "What's the big deal, so careful?" ”

In Jia's mother's heart, now that her family has sat firmly in the world, there is nothing to do, so there is no need to be so cautious.

After listening to Jia's mother's words, Jia Ke organized the language in his heart, and then said: "Old lady, in addition to the queen, is there any other heir in the queen's family?" ”

After listening to Jia Ke's words, Jia's mother immediately tightened the smile on her face, then glanced at Jia Ke with a frown, and finally thought about it in her heart before she said: "I haven't heard that Prince Yizhong entrusted Qin Keqing to your grandfather at the last moment, and he didn't say that he had other heirs. ”

After Jia Mu said this, she paused, and asked Jia Ke with a cloudy face, "Didn't you hear any news?" ”

Jia Ke sighed, and then said: "My secret guard has found out that Prince Yizhong not only left Qin Keqing back then, but also left a little son. ”

When Mother Jia heard this, her hand holding the handrail became more and more forceful, and then she smiled coldly: "It seems that your grandfather's sacrifice was also in vain, and he still didn't believe in our family at the last moment." ”

Jia Mu has now completely abandoned the guilt of plotting to usurp the throne.

Jia Ke nodded after listening, and then continued: "This child left by Prince Yizhong is terrible now, there are a lot of spies under his hands, and they have already reached out to our palace. ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she understood what Jia Ke meant, "Is there anything wrong with the queen?" ”

"Qin Keqing probably already knows about this, but she hides it from me, and I see her as ill-intentioned."

After hearing this, Jia Mu's brows furrowed even tighter, and then said to Jia Ke: "This kind of thing would rather be believed than not believed. We took away her family's country, doesn't she have any resentment at all? I can't keep in touch with the outside now, and I'm ready to plot to usurp the throne. ”

Jia's mother is now more and more dissatisfied with Qin Keqing with the improvement of the status of the Jia family, and asked Jia Ke to marry Qin Keqing back then, firstly, to be loyal to the old prince Yizhong, and secondly, to use the power left by the old prince Li Yizhong to increase Jia Ke's wings.

But now that Jia Ke has successfully ascended the throne, then these forces left by the old Prince Yizhong are a bit of an eyesore.

Especially Qin Keqing, now Jia's mother is very worried about the next generation of the dynasty, which has the blood of the previous dynasty.

"And what do you mean?"

After Jia Ke heard this, there was a painful look in his eyes, since Qin Keqing married her, there was no mistake in teaching her husband and children, and honoring her in-laws, so Xiang Jia Ke still had a lot of feelings for her.

Jia Mu also saw what Jia Ke meant, but there was a hint of spiciness.

"Emperor, don't have the kindness of a woman, this is related to our family's great cause, don't make a wedding dress for others because of a trace of pity."

When Jia Ke heard this, he immediately made up his mind, "Now is not the time, wait until I have wiped out all these people, and then dispose of the harem." ”

Jia Mu nodded when she heard this, Jia Ke said that it was not bad, this matter should not be rushed, in case of startling the snake, it would not be easy to find these people in the future.

Jia Ke came to Jia's mother this time, the purpose was to discuss the matter of Qin Keqing in the harem with Jia's mother, and now that he has made up his mind, he has no heart to stay here.

Jia Ke saluted Jia's mother with a disappointed face, said goodbye, and then went out of the hall alone and went back to the Qianqing Palace.

And Jia Mu showed a smile on her face after Jia Ke left, and now she thought in her heart that as long as Qin Keqing was finished, then the next one to be the queen was probably only Shi Xiangyun of her family.

As long as Shi Xiangyun becomes the queen, then her Shi family can continue to be prosperous and rich.

In fact, Jia's mother also has some opinions on Jia Ke, since Jia Ke ascended the throne and sat in the palace, he has been sealed civil and military, but Jia's mother's two nephews have not been sealed.

Jia's mother also told Jia Ke about this, but Jia Ke's answer to Jia's mother was that the two uncles were already marquis in the previous dynasty, and they had no credit for this dynasty.

After Jia Ke was blocked back by Jia Ke, she was helpless, because she knew that what Jia Ke said was reasonable.

But now that things have taken a turn for the better, as long as Shi Xiangyun is in power, their Shi family will definitely rise. delicacies

In this way, another three months passed, and the New Year was about to begin, and this year the world was in a good mood, and through Jia Ke's reform of the tax system, the income of the imperial court also increased greatly.

When it was time to sort out the country's finances for the last time before the Chinese New Year, Jia Yucun, the head of the household department, sent the year's financial income to Jia Ke's case.

After Jia Ke saw the wrinkles of Jia Yu Village, he could be regarded as understanding the specific income and expenditure of the imperial court this year.

In this year, the imperial court collected about 45 million taels of commercial taxes, and the agricultural taxes of the spring and autumn taxes also collected nearly 30 million taels of grain. Plus six or seven million quintals of grain from the subject countries. The imperial court's income this year is more than double that of last year.

Jia Ke saw these incomes, and was quite satisfied with his achievements in the past year since he ascended the throne, according to this progress, excluding expenses, he would save for another year or two, and he would have enough strength to move north.

When the time comes, he will not only be able to eliminate the Tatars, a great calamity, but will also be able to harm the people without harming a single penny.

Now you have to start settling the interior, otherwise, when you go north with a million troops, if anything happens to the imperial court, it will be in vain.

"Li Deshan, how did you check about Wang Yi's matter?"

After listening to Jia Ke's greeting, Li Deshan rushed forward and said, "Back to Long Live Lord, the slave has already sent someone to track down along the line of Wang Yi's contact, and there has been some progress." ”

"When will we be able to wipe out this organization?"

Li Deshan thought for a moment before he said: "If you go back to the Long Live Lord, I'm afraid that after the Chinese New Year, the minions will be able to figure out all their manpower." ”

"Then you have to hurry, in March next year, I must have an explanation."

Li Deshan felt a little pressure in his heart after listening to it, but since Jia Ke had ordered it, he could only bite the bullet.

Not to mention these people, let's talk about it in the Wenhua Palace, Wang Yi was ordered by the Holy Order, and came to the Wenhua Hall on the first day today to assist Li Wenbin in teaching Jia Zhi, the king of Chu.

To say that Wang Yi is in a good mood now, it seems that his worries a while ago are a little superfluous.

His sister still cares about family affection and does not betray his only brother, in this case, when he ascends the throne and sits in the palace in the future, he will not embarrass this sister, so that she can enjoy her old age in peace.

When he arrived in front of the Wenhua Palace, he saw that it was heavily guarded, and a few eunuchs stood guard at the door and stepped forward to say hello, the eunuch knew that a new gentleman was going to come today, but he didn't expect it to be such a young and handsome person.

"It turned out to be Mr. Wang, the prince has not come to the Wenhua Hall yet, please Mr. go to the side hall to rest first, and then go in with Scholar Li for a while."

Wang Yi hurriedly saluted the eunuch, and by the way, he took out a bag from his arms and stuffed it into the eunuch's hand.

"It's a little meaning, please drink tea with my father-in-law."

The big eunuch checked the bag in his hand, and felt that it was okay, and the smile on his face was even brighter.

"Mr. Wang doesn't have to worry, the prince has to have breakfast, and he has to ask the queen to say goodbye before he can come to the Wenhua Palace, Mr. just sit in the side hall of the Wenhua Palace, wait a while, I will personally invite you."

Wang Yi walked to the side hall next to him with peace of mind, and when he entered the side hall and just sat down, a eunuch outside brought him tea and snacks.

Wang Yi drank tea and tasted dim sum.

Just after a while, he heard the voice of asking for peace outside the hall, Wang Yi knew that this was Li Wenbin coming, hurriedly put down the tea in his hand, clapped his hands, stood up and straightened his clothes, and came to the door of the hall to wait.

After Li Wenbin came, he only saw a young man in an official robe in the hall, and he knew that this was the assistant Jia Ke sent to him.

Li Wenbin looked up and down, and felt that although this young man was handsome, he was not feminine, but heroic, which made people feel good when they saw it.

"This is Lord Wang, I heard the emperor say a few days ago that you are going to come to assist me, and I will ask Lord Wang for more guidance in the future."

After Wang Yi heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and clasped his fists to salute: "Li University is ashamed to kill his juniors, how can a kid dare to be called an adult in front of his seniors." In the future, I will ask Li University to give me more advice. ”

Li Wenbin saw that Wang Yi was very respectful, and he was not as arrogant as other young talents who became famous, and his good impression of him became even heavier.

"What to say or not, in the future, we will discuss everything with each other, and we will teach the king of Chu well."

While the two were talking, the eunuch at the gate of the Wenhua Hall hurriedly came in.

"Two gentlemen, His Royal Highness the King of Chu will go to the Wenhua Hall immediately, please hurry up and wait at the Wenhua Palace."

Li Wenbin nodded, and then said to Wang Yi beside him: "In this case, let's go now." ”

Wang Yi hurriedly bowed: "The boss invites first, how dare the students take the lead." ”

Li Wenbing did not shirk, turned around and walked out of the side hall first, Wang Yi followed closely, and these people came to the Wenhua Palace, waiting for the arrival of Jia Zhi, the king of Chu.
